TLDR: Oh God, is this bad.
Before I start, I am bias. I don't like shoujo anime and that should have been in the description. Not knowing this, I went in blind, only to reminded why shoujo is so aptly names. The contrived plot line that appeals to the female sensibilities ruin what fantasy and action elements it has while booting you out of my suspended belief. The character interactions were cringe to boring. Nothing got me emotionally invested in the slightest. Magic was used as an ass pull to progress a plot held together by cobweb. The mediocre animation and par voice acting were the

At first you would think this is the bog standard Isekai loaded to the brim with the usual tropes and you would be half right. It's anime, so you cannot get away from some things but this was a slightly better than average power creep op ecchi cringe feastival. While not completely original, it strives to be slightly different subtly. The MC for instance is not spoon feed anything and so must work things out on his own. He isn't the most powerful either as his peers were able to advance faster than him at one point. Speaking of his peers, it always nice

TLDR: Aloof and lazy MC accidentally makes all the right moves, leeches on others, has women pandering over him with choice camera angles. The end.
This is some of the finest lazy writing I've ever seen. I feel sorry for the animation staff and voice actors for having to polished this turd. Krai Andrey, our main character, formed a party with his friend as kids and they become the strongest in the story thus far, except his specialty is getting lucky. So lucky people think he he some kind of a trickster with visions of the future. The stark reality is that coincidence save him 99% ... Jan 24, 2025

TLDR: Utter garbage.
Bad plot Horrible unlikeable stupid character. Corny as hell OST Barely builds on the rubbish first season. This show picks up with the retarded survivors of last season whom continue to be retarded. The "bad guys" continue to be over the top people vile people that you can't help but laugh at because of how poorly written and badly acted out they are. But that's the entire show. Poor written and badly acted out scenes. Even in a fictious universe the motivations are lost and the characters actions make no sense. And the plot...the same shit as season one. We're left just as wanting to know just ... Jan 24, 2025
TLDR: Dark Gritty Shit!!!
Where the f'k to even begin with this absolute shitter of a show. Horrible animation, bad colour palate, budget CGI, overacted voice acting, characters are all easy to hate, low IQ story.... the list of bad goes on and on. To sum up this bucket of toxic waste; People who die are copied just before death They are then erased and 3D printed back put in a room with special weapons, suites that enhance their physical abilities (but nobody tells them that), a mission but no information about anything. The then get re erased and re 3D printed at the location of monsters killing mission. Those with ... Jan 14, 2025

TLDR: Sailor moon for dudes!
This is not what I expected in a really good way. The show is really short and there isn't much to say. The goodie 2 shoes princess witch isn't. The rowdy girls are not that bad. Some of the most outlandish gags happen. It flips from happy to dark with the drop of a dime. Perfect for a chuckle while wait in a line. Yes, there are some panty shots but what good anime doesn't? This show going from 0 to 100 is normal. Case in point; a freaking sentient potato committing seppuku! The WTF factor is real. I'm not saying drop ... Jan 10, 2025

TLDR: It's My Dress-Up Darling part deux except lame.
Yes, I am being hard, but you have so many absolutely amazing shows of the same if not similar theme, to take reference from and you make this robotic mess?! Who is this for? Little boys who want fan service and could not be bothered by the jittery paced poor story and contrived dialog. There is so much to hate here. The concept of suspended belief goes out the windows as they do everything to remind you this show is grasping at straws to keep you entertained. Not all is bad. While the dialog was "synthetic", the voice ... Jan 3, 2025
TLDR: It took me 15 years to realise how much shit Bleach really is.
For a series that started off fair enough; the power creep, contrived story, inexplicable superpowers and vintage anime "I will defeat you with will power" nonsense has caught up to the good animation that it has finally received. Or maybe I was naive, and it was always a pig with lipstick. Was Nelliel running around with those 2 idiots not enough to warn me this show failed at trying to be funny, while being serious? Did the horny teddy bear synthetic soul not signal the incoming stupidity? Was Kenpachi and his lolicon ... Dec 25, 2024

TLDR: Plain, simple, feel good.
"365 Days To The Wedding" doesn't pretend to be something that it is not. ie it revels in being very average. But sometimes that all you really want. No convoluted plot twists or complex back stories. It's just 2 average people who pretended to be getting married and developed emotions along the way. Honestly though, you would swear the main couple were in high school, and I think the author retrofitted the story for adults. The art, sound, voice acting and pacing were all good. It lacked originality and strong dramatic content of a better story. Nevertheless, enjoyers of romcoms would ... Dec 18, 2024

TLDR: A moving story, that subverted my expectations numerous times but not always in a good way.
The premise is right in the name, setting up your expectations of what to expect and the story delivers while managing to a very wholesome show. An unexpected death leaves the remaining family consisting of a father and daughter, unable to truly move on. The story then explores what happens when the mother returns in the body of another family's child. The obvious drama of how this is handles while we slowly discover the who, what, when and why is cleverly mixed with external pressures of life and how ... |
