We’ve hit a low point with remakes and rehashes The dialogue is butchered, and much of the story loses coherence compared to the source material. Visually, it’s lifeless and assembly-line bland— I'm shocked to find Disney does not have its name attached to this

This series's high praise reflects an audience more interested in the novelty of things instead of pushing for new and original IPs. Mappa has butchered much of the humor, character moments, and key story turns that made the original special. An 8.04 rating is baffling; this show barely scrapes a 6 but I guess in this era of creative bankruptcy across every ... form of entertainment even a butchered version of Ranma is still more coherent than today's slop


I’m generally wary of remakes, as Western media’s obsession with them has led to creative stagnation—nostalgia has outshined originality, sidelining fresh IPs. Now, even anime and Japanese media seem poised to enter this same rot, with endless calls for reboots and remakes crowding out new stories. It’s a shame, as titles like Frieren might be the last meaningful, culturally resonant stories we see for a while.

rating: 5/10.

I started off as a fan of this series, but Episode 5 completely lost me. This series devolved bro.


This series starts out great but now it feels like a Western studio suddenly discovered the existence of anime and quickly asked ChatGPT to generate a series using the most overused tropes that could appeal to both western and eastern audiences, then just ran with it. The result? A mishmash of clichés: aliens, spirits, toilet humor, high school romance, and a “quirky” cast of teen characters. There’s the cool, aloof girl, a loner guy, and a token “MILF” thrown in for fanservice, probably to deflect from how ... uncomfortable the focus on the 15-year-old female lead panties.

And Episode 5 was where things really broke down. The characters act bizarrely awkward around each other, even though they've supposedly bonded over life-threatening situations. It just highlights how unpolished the writing is; it’s as if the creators had only planned out the first arc and hoped the initial buzz would carry the rest. On the upside, the simplistic dialogue might give dub voice actors some room to be creative which will help with mass appeal.

But hey, at the end of the day, it’s possible to enjoy this if you go in with low expectations, but the hype is definitely overblown in this one by a lot.

It feels like the industry’s scraping the bottom of the barrel and hitting rock bottom, branding every generic shonen as the “next big thing” because they’re creatively spent. If you liked the chaotic energy of FLCL, or the quirky, offbeat style of Studio Trigger’s Kill La Kill or Gainax' Panty & Stocking, this series might be worth a look—but overall, it just doesn’t live up to the ads’ hype. It’s good, not great, but hey, at least it’s more enjoyable than the groomer crap called: Chainsaw Man. This author learned from the mistake of that manga. Thats for sure

HOLY SH*T from Makeine going hard on animation to now BLUE BOX getting a royal treatment in animation that only a battle shonen would only see if they are a huge hit.

We're witnessing a shift in the industry and Im for it. Fr. If you're not a fan of a romcom, then Im sorry for you. You're missing out. Blue Box is a unique entry in the same old love story and I love it.

Without saying much this story is a 9/10 for the first 3 episodes and its a shame Crunchyroll is so badly managed that they missed out on easy ... views since its not available to see there.

Wow, just wow! This anime completely caught me off guard. I never expected to see a light novel in the romcom genre that focuses on romance from such a realistic standpoint.

Instead of the typical setup where the main character is magically thrown into the life of the hottest girl in class, spending 12 episodes navigating unrealistic scenarios to win her admiration, this story takes a different approach. The focus is on characters who, in most stories, would be written off as the losers—flawed individuals with quirks and ticks that typically push them into the background. But here, they take center stage, and that’s what makes ... this story such a standout.

Another thing I believe sets this story apart I think it’s the sense of purpose the author has infused into it. This isn’t a pointless story like a LOT OF ROMCOM.

We’ve all felt like losers in the game of love, and so do these characters—and that’s okay. We may not always know how to deal with it, but that’s part of the journey. We try to live through it, hoping the pain will fade, or we learn from the experience or not. Maybe we meet new people along the way. This story reminds us that while finding love is important, it’s equally important to have a group of people around to support us during these chaotic times—something many romcoms overlook.

Also, the fact that "Losing Heroines" is ranked so highly is proof that tastes in the medium are truly changing. Ten years ago, a story like this would have been buried under battle shonen and isekais or not a single studio would have given it an anime deal, no joke.

I’m glad I see it ranked #1 in BD Sales, #1 in Anime Trending, and to hear that the light novel is already on its third reprint run.

For the first six episodes, this story has been incredibly strong. I would recommend it to anyone.

This part of the story beiny 8.19 smells like haters are down voting the living hell out of this.

THIS IS AN ANIME ADAPTATION. LEAVE YOUR PREJUDICE OF THE SOURCE MATERIAL OUT AND LOOK AT THE PRODUCT BEING PRESENTED

We will not, i repeat, we will never see another series get an adaptation like this, and the fans of other battle shonens and mid-sekais are going to have to deal with the fact that your IPs are probably being used as money laundering schemes by the studios at this point.

Ufotable just elevated the bar for anime and I'm glad since the early 2010s animation and adaptation ... have devolved and it's been glaringly obvious that studios have been producing inferior products when compared to the technology that was available to staff over 10 years.

SIMPLY PUT THIS PART WAS PEAK AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE TRILOGY.

"Slime" is a prime example of why anime should remain tailored for Japanese audiences and not attempt to cater to "global audiences." The preferences of global audiences do not outweigh those of the Japanese audience and likely never will.

The complaints about the "meetings" in the series stem from global viewers, not Japanese fans. This criticism is misguided because Japanese fans understand that the series has always been driven by dialogue. "Tensei" focuses on exploring the world through politics and diverse perspectives. It is not a typical harem or wife-collecting isekai where characters live a slow life, spouting random incoherent words akin to those in an ... H-novel.

The complainers are only proving that they are incapable of sitting still for 20 minutes without flashy action sequences every 5 minutes to hold their attention.

For those who need constant action, I recommend "Eminence in Shadows," an extremely poor isekai that will give you your fix. Alternatively, watch My Hero Kaisen er i mean "Kaiju No. 8" this season.

The real heavenly delusion is how Production I.G. decided to allocate such a significant budget to this series. It's hard to believe it received more funding and creative input than "Kaijuu No 8." How did this project get so much support when it seemed destined for commercial failure? Were they expecting Western audiences to carry it? If so, how?

Let's delve into this: the story is bad. It seems more like an exercise in audience baiting than a genuine mystery. Viewers are thrown into the middle of the story rather than starting at the beginning, with key elements revealed in flashbacks. Meanwhile, the present storyline feels ... like a pointless and derivative "Last of Us" rip-off. The series lacks direction from start to finish.

The visuals and animation are stunning, a 10/10, which makes it all the more frustrating that such quality is wasted on a mediocre product.

Honestly, in this streaming era, it sometimes feels like studios invest heavily in animating obscure projects they prefer rather than finding those that will attract and engage an actual audience. It's as if studios, animators, and executives believe they are the audience and expect us to blindly consume their products.

And I get it, they're pushing 40, 50, and maybe even older, and teen power fantasies might not appeal to them anymore, but why do they think constant sexual assaults on the main female protagonist is entertaining? These assaults are often played for jokes, and they take a dark turn, escalating to extreme levels. Who is supposed to be entertained by this?

I wonder if the creators and director are embarrassed by the underwhelming reception because they should be. I hope Disney and Production I.G. feel a sense of embarrassment for this product after the poor reception and low sales. This isn't entertaining or a story with a point; it's just bad storytelling with a lot of focus on assaulting a girl constantly.

Overall, it's a 2 out of 10 because, despite the stunning visuals, it lacks substance and purpose.

We're really heading into the end for a series that feels like it could have gone on for 20 years if the genre wasn't oversaturated with lazy writers stealing tropes and ideas every single day.

In this season, we're witnessing the beginning of final clash between Deku and the Villains, and for now it's been a wild ride. Plot twists and character arcs are finally converging into confrontations that have been building up from the very start.

The animation remains fluid and impressive, especially for an anime in its seventh season.

The story gets an 8/10 so far.

What began as a seemingly silly, unserious rip-off of ... its counterparts in DC and Marvel has evolved into something unique. Im glad the series has managed to carve out its own identity, blending traditional superhero elements with deep, emotional storytelling and complex character dynamics.

I have to give it to the studio—they've done a remarkable job cutting down all the dreck from the light novel. However, this has turned the story into a completely bland alternative universe compared to the mess presented in the original. The story is now lifeless, featuring a reimagined main character who is just a horny NPC. He does nothing but stand there and react to everything around him, making it seem like he's doing something meaningful outside of bedding the elf chick.

Let's be real. Even the author can't sell the lie anymore that everything in this story is deep, and die-hard fans can't defend ... the massive content cuts this season.

The cut content alone in this part alone only amplify the light novel's main problem. It pretends that everything is deep, well-thought-out story by presenting problems, but it’s an extremely shallow story and the studio seems to think so too, as problems get resolved with little to no effort and just a few incoherent words or straight-up cut content from the LN.

It's laughable how the studio keeps cutting content this season and changing things to save the bottom line since last season, we had "gushing over magical girls" presenting some messed-up stuff, but here? The studio is cutting it all out for the sake of the bottom line. That's how bad this story is.

Die-hard fans argue that the story is about redemption and that much of the dreck in the light novel is important. Yet, the studio has cut most of it out to save this sinking ship for the sake of profits. Was that dreck necessary? Apparently not, since the studio doesn't think so.

Simply put, this story was just praised by those who yelled, "Finally, an MC I can relate to." And that's the target audience. So, those who argued that this story would be better if the MC weren't a predator are being proved right by the studio cutting out all that dreck.



Anyway, the story this season? 1/10. Honestly, this story is more of an exercise in how to bait an audience into thinking things are happening by constantly bombarding them with concepts and ideas that never really get explored.

Characters? Barely memorable. Even the author doesn't seem to care about them, as they come in and out of the story with no proper reasoning or development, except for it being time for one of the trio girls to slowly fall for the MC. Will he bed her? That's the question, and that's the whole story from season 1 up to now. The mother? Just filler. The true plot/story is the harem aspect, and the die-hard fans know it. That's why they got the most plot armor in a world filled with supposed danger.


For those with common sense, I don't recommend the light novel at all. There are better isekai out there. This one is just the bottom of the barrel lazy writing which is how so many authors managed to copy the formula with little effort and improve the formula. Yep

What else can i say except: Wow!

Studio Bind is really making an impact in a certain niche of the world, where people are obsessed with invading young girls' personal spaces and that's the entirety of this show and nothing more and is insane!

Im telling you guys... This story is quite something. It presents itself as wholesome, but as one matures, it becomes apparent that these type of shows are disturbing since they truly serve no purpose. Like I can understand the gender trope to a T. A lot of shows pulled it off masterfully were the guy learns to respect women after being one ... but you know this one is just bad when the studio doesn't even stick to the source material, presumably to save face.

It's laughable that Crunchyroll financed this series, considering it ended up being one of the least watched on their platform. And to that I say: it restores some of my faith in humanity.

Lets even talk about the story briefly: The narrative itself doesn't make sense. Older NEET Turned into a little girl because his sister wanted to spend time with him? Thats the thing. The author really was just looking to pass on the blame to someone else to make this work and that's exactly why it doesn't work.

And the worst part is that Studio Bind seems intent on crafting stories about older NEETs hanging out with girls half their age, expecting us to believe that every scene featuring the invasion of a young girl's personal space isn't creepy, but perfectly acceptable.


It's no surprise that directors are leaving their other project with the studio. It's glaringly bad when a studio goes as far as offering uncensored versions of each episode in the Blu-ray collector's edition of a series where a guy is surrounded by middle school girls.

Just skip this one, seriously.
