Somewhat generic, but not at all at the same time.

Its refreshing to see anime with darker story without overblown fanservice. Without over the top action and MC, that doesnt behave like a generic teen moron.
Why would i rank it in so high regard? Well... that would be the ending. Without sunshine, rainbows and glitter, full on melancholy and dred.

Yes, there are stereotypes, but i cant say i remember other anime with the exact same spin and flavor on them.

So yes... Id say it was refreshing change of pace to all those isekais and whatnot, that studios spits out all the time now

One of my most favorite shows. It has Comedy, Love and Action. It has funny, interesting well developed characters (in all areas), lot of ridiculous stuff happening and it has Panda and the Red-head girl... What else do you need, to have fun?

Well.. the thing that I personaly cherrish the most about this show is the fact, that the autor managed to take the GENDER TRANSFORMATION, and use it in comedical love story with the matrial arts action, and leave out the fanservise and the inappropriate echi that ruins almost every new anime today.

Note: One more thing... Ive never ever before (or after) seen any ... similar take on the Harem-style anime, that is in the Ranma 1/2.

Enjoyement level over 9000. :)

I would never guess this somehow weird animated show will have so interesting story... Even if it is not going to too much depth, it goes stright to the point and leaves its mark.

I must say, that after wathing this show, I somehow feel the similar, as after finishing the reading of the Ushio to Tora manga... Somehow puzzled and anctious and charmed all at the same time. (now I guess I know how the woman feel :D )

Its aweasome. Has great, semi-epic/ultimate ending. Interesting characters, that have right amount of depth to them and have nice, fresh storyteling.

Overall great piece of psychedelic anime, that ... has visuals similar to that of the Mob Psycho 100 mixed with Durarara!...

It definitely is anime worth reccomending.
(its first of the Devilman stories ive seen, and definitely not the last)

Well, slice-of life in the apartment with the good ghosts and stuff like that... well... i kinda missed the point to be fair.

Character developement practicaly didnt happend, and overall it felt, like the story is not moving in any direction, which didnt actualy happend even in the final episode in my opinion.

If I was to say, that this show felt plain as the chest of the loli character, i would be praising it.
Still, the animation was nice and there wasnt any unbearable fanservise included, so it was at least watchable.

In comparation with the Magetsukan Kitan (manga with the similar story) I must say ... this one is on the loosing end.

Lets first say, I did found this movie, after it poped out on me at the movie database when I was browsing net.

So I watched it, and... lets leave a disclaimer here:
- I am realy big fan of the Dungeon and Dragons games, and I realy like this stuff. This movie, (for me) somehow managed to evoke the same feel of all those games and adventures. Which realy made me happy, and pointed me towards the seccond movie, that I realy enjoyed. So, if you are DnD fanatic like me, I guess there isnt any downfall in watching this for you... For the rest ... of the people tho, there is probably lot of flaws in this movie, that perhaps can ruin the fun...

Lets talk those flaws:
Not knowing anything about lore of this franchise... I must say, the first movie realy dont help all that much. There is lot of nicely animated characters, that are truly undeveloped, but visualy and character-wise interesting.
There is a quest and there is realy straight forward story, with some predictable character developements... well... It definitely is not one of the sharpest tools in the box.

For the things that i liked on the other side, even if It isnt best movie...
Action is very good, visuals are well made and there is even bit of a romance going on. There isnt any unbearable fanservise and its made in a way, that is KID FRIENDLY.

Note: the character animation resembles the new Tinkerbell movies. :)

So in conclusion... if you are not expecting anything deep, smart and complex, but want to enjoy some nice animated fantasy movie, with well made action scenes.. this is the right stuff, than can even be watched with the kids in the room. :)

Seccond movie made from the Dragon nest game environment realy hit the sweat spot of mine. In contrast to the first movie, this story is centered around less characters, which given them more screen time and room to interact and develop.
Even tho, Story-vise it isnt anything outstanding and it uses all the old movie/anime clishes, it realy doesnt loose its momentum, and throw you into the seat and wont let go, until the post credit scene, which leaves you with the funny smirk on the face. This kind of storyteling realy makes it kid-friendly, even taking in consideration it gets somehow scarry at some point ... of the movie.
As far as the animation goes, when i first saw the characters in the first movie, I cannot help but to think of the new "Thinkerbell" movies. Which means that for me, getting used to the animation style wasnt realy all that hard. Visuals were overall great and the action scenes were breath taking.

I realy hope, there will be more movies in this franchise. It has potential, and delivers some nice DnD action, that isnt full of the "fanservise" in the way it is in almost all new anime...

I do recommend to watch it, if you like shows with the feal of the Dungeon and Dragons.
