The only question I found myself asking while watching this show was: Why? Why am I watching this? Why does it exist? And more importantly, why did I keep going?

Not once did I find it funny, entertaining, clever, or even mildly interesting. Every episode felt like a random sequence of events thrown together without purpose or logic. There’s no story to follow, no character development, no payoff — just chaos for chaos’ sake.

I kept watching, hoping it might redeem itself, but it never did. Thankfully, it’s mercifully short — only three episodes — because if there had been even one more, I honestly think it ... would’ve sparked a viewer revolt. It’s that bad.

The man. The myth. The legend. Sakamoto delivers exactly what you'd expect if you've seen any clips — a masterclass in cool, bizarre, and often hilarious perfection. The show leans into its episodic format with minimal overarching plot, offering a collection of wild and stylish moments that somehow always resolve perfectly because, well, he’s Sakamoto.

Each episode showcases Sakamoto navigating everyday situations in the most unorthodox and over-the-top ways imaginable. He helps others, builds strong (albeit quirky) connections, and leaves everyone in awe. Yet, despite all that, he remains a complete enigma. His intentions are always good, but his reasons are rarely, if ever, revealed. He’s ... untouchable — a mythic figure who never really steps down from his pedestal.

That’s where the show lost a bit of potential for me. While I enjoyed the ride, I found myself wanting more — more vulnerability, more insight into who Sakamoto really is behind the shades and style. The closest we get is a pie in the face and his pants dropping… and even those moments somehow keep his mystique intact. His farewell is cold, impersonal, and somehow still fitting — a perfect goodbye that leaves his classmates speechless yet unsurprised. “That’s Sakamoto for you.”

It's a fun, charming, and unique series full of laughs and lovable side characters. But if you're looking for deep character development, especially from Sakamoto himself, you might come away wanting. He's not a character who grows so much as one who observes, tests, and floats above the world around him — always flawless, always distant.

Still, it’s a great watch for comedy and pure vibes. I just wish we got a peek behind the curtain.

A Solid Start with Potential, But Not Quite Enough to Hook Me

This anime had promise—not a standout masterpiece, but a show that clearly knew what it wanted to do and executed it fairly well. The action scenes were enjoyable, and the magic system was both diverse and complex, which I appreciated. One of the highlights for me was that the protagonist wasn’t overpowered or "blessed" by some divine force. His abilities were skill-based, and even when wielding a god-tier weapon, he was essentially just a grunt in the grand scheme of things. That grounded approach made the combat feel more earned.

The love triangle was handled ... better than I expected. It didn’t feel overly forced or dramatic. The main character has a protective mindset toward both girls, and while both are viable romantic interests, it’s clear the story leans heavily toward Mui. With Kurumi, he takes on more of a "good friend and bodyguard" role. His sense of justice is what brought him close to both girls—and even to characters like Ida. He never abandons anyone he cares about, even when it causes him pain. While this makes him a bit of a cliché, it’s not overdone or annoying. He feels like a mild, grounded interpretation of the "self-sacrificing hero," which gives his character room to grow in any direction.

Interestingly, the anime keeps him somewhat out of the loop when it comes to the main plot. He’s in the dark about many of the behind-the-scenes events, which positions him more as a protector than a traditional protagonist. He’s just trying to keep his friends safe, no matter the cost. That kind of simplicity in his role worked well—at least for the setup.

That said, the show ends on a massive cliffhanger, which is clearly meant to drive viewers to the manga or light novel for answers. It’s a classic case of, "Let’s tease just enough to sell the source material." And while that approach is understandable, it left me feeling unsatisfied.

As for the protagonist himself—he didn't quite win me over. He has strong "edgelord" energy, almost like a discount Ichigo from Bleach, or maybe even comparable to Rin from Blue Exorcist, with his mix of magic and weapon-based combat. There’s definitely potential here, but the show lacked that extra push to make me fully invested or curious enough to continue the story in manga form.

In the end, it’s a decent anime with a strong foundation and flashes of real potential—but it didn’t quite do enough to keep me hooked.

I wouldn't call the show bad, but it’s just not my cup of tea. There were moments that were genuinely funny, but it’s hard to overlook the overarching theme, which isn’t funny to me. The way the characters, especially the main girl, develop this strange obsession with the dog or just over the top personality just felt off. Normally I'm all for zany characters even over the top ones but when its all centered around a dog I checked out. Every character seems to try outdo each other in terms of how weird or nonsensical they can be. For example, Sachi being seen performing and ... immediately deciding this creature that cant expose me must die gave a chuckle but twice for the same over the top gag lost me.

I thought the show might be a detective mystery, but it quickly turned into a goofy comedy. While the combination of elements doesn’t ruin the show—it’s still well-drawn and well-written—the whole dog-and-girl dynamic just doesn’t work for me. so many of the plot lines even while he is a dog still work but if he were human would have made it better for me i know this may have an audience and i wont discredit it but i cant say i would recommend this casually unless someone shows a lot of interest in this kind of show.

The problem is that they humanize the dog too much. He’s not just a dog anymore, and if he were still a human, I might have been able to rate the show higher. But the situation just feels a little too out there for me to fully invest in and enjoy. Every time something happens between him and a girl, I find myself pulling away from the story. Not that the story actually goes anywhere its baseline and only setups for funny moments which i can appreciate normally and this show did have good moments in it for those as well.

Isekai adventure—but not your typical "truck-kun sends you to another world" kind of deal.
This story feels more like a fun road trip to a new, undiscovered world. One where the goal isn't saving the realm or battling demon lords, but simply spreading friendship, exploring new lands, and introducing the locals to the culture we otakus know and love. Sure, there's a bit of a tongue-in-cheek cultural takeover vibe—but that's just part of the charm.

Jokes aside, this was a genuinely fun story with a plot that slowly builds without ever losing its cheerful energy. You don’t expect it to take any serious turns—but when it does, ... even briefly, it still feels natural. The real highlight is watching our protagonist share anime, manga, and video games with the locals. Hearing arguments over waifus and game mechanics—except now between elves and dwarves—is just pure entertainment.

And honestly? The only time I’ve ever found a "loli is best girl" opinion somewhat acceptable is in this show... though let’s be real—dwarves are always wrong. No surprise there.

This series hits close to home for fellow otakus. It's relaxing, funny, and full of references we get, showing how we’ve all tried to explain this lifestyle to others. That's the magic of it—it gets us.

The action is well-drawn, but it’s not the main focus. Think modern weaponry meets magical fantasy—but without the usual over-the-top battles. I loved how they respected the magical world. The story starts simply: the main character applies for a job, gets drugged, and wakes up in another world. That alone hints at a darker theme, but the mood shifts quickly as he fanboys over a magical item and a maid calls him “Master.”

What makes it refreshing is that he doesn’t completely lose himself in fantasy. He enjoys it, but never in a creepy way. He stays self-aware, leaning into his inner otaku proudly, analyzing everything with the mindset of someone who's watched way too many shows—and I mean that in the best way.

The cast covers every trope imaginable, and sometimes even directly calls out the roles they’re playing (like the queen being a textbook tsundere). The story balances light-hearted moments with darker elements like assassination threats, political schemes, and shady government dealings—but never lets things get too heavy. It always circles back to fun and uplifting energy.

At the end of the day, this show is an homage to us—the otakus. It celebrates our quirks, our passions, and the joy we get from sharing our world with others. If you’re one of us, you’ll feel seen, appreciated, and above all, entertained.

If you've seen one, you've seen them all. The menu is open: what is your high fantasy desire? This show has every cliché known to man—insane, almost OP MC? Check. Fun harem? Check. Reincarnation? Check. A world that has devolved from a previously more impressive state? Check. If you can think of it, the show has it, wrapped up in a sweet, cute shell.

Cliché aside, the show wasn’t bad. Yes, it’s a giant copy-paste of everything you've already seen a thousand times, making it not bad but completely uninteresting. Other shows have done these tropes better. The show takes itself a little too seriously, unable ... to fully embrace its comedic potential, which could have added something refreshing.

Aside from the combat and storyline, the characters were fun—nothing new, but enjoyable, and they brought something to the show. I feel like if they had just revealed his secret identity midway through, it would have either led to a more interesting series of events or provided a more comedic dynamic. Imagine him trying out new plans to have fun in his reincarnation without exposing his secret again— or, failing that, getting sent another thousand years into the future. This could create an amusing path of him constantly reincarnating due to his inability to keep his secret. After all, he's just a boy who knows literally everything.

"This ancient tomb? I know how it works perfectly."
"This random pedestal? Obviously, it’s for tracking magic identities."
"This ancient weapon with an unidentifiable enchantment? One-time use only, of course."

If it weren’t for the lack of understanding of magic, his secret would already be out. Even the demons became lethargic from not having anyone with good magic, making them confused and easily tricked.

The problem is, it’s not special in any way and doesn't set itself apart. It's the definition of average—slopped out for the masses to enjoy while waiting for the next big high fantasy show.

Whatever criticisms you may have, just hold on. The initial idea of a goofy, trashy comedy was already tempting enough to warrant a passing watch for laughs, but the accuracy and the unexpected twists are what really stand out. They never veer far from the original idea of a teenage schlub trying to get laid by 100 guys, but the way they capture the awkwardness and confusion of those moments is spot on. From just touching hands to kissing, and especially the uncertainty of the actual moment (which never quite comes because, well, kids are kids), the show doesn’t leave you in limbo. From the ... start, her true nature is clear: she’s all talk but has no idea what to do. She didn’t want to fall in love, but she finds herself only wanting Kasuda’s attention, even turning down a better-looking, more perfect guy.

Throughout the show, Yamada is typically annoying, but her being the only truly annoying character makes her quirky and endearing—especially compared to what would happen if every character acted that way. You only get two of them like this, with others acting as voices of reason, putting up with her antics. The ending, where the realization hits for some characters about how things might change for Yamada, adds a thoughtful layer. Will she still be the same girl they love, and will she continue to bring something unique into their lives?

It was a great comedic watch with just enough intention to stay true to its core. It offers a "will they, won't they?" dynamic until the very end, with moments of typical annoying behavior, but it's never over the top enough to truly annoy you. And no, there’s no "loli" content—only a few R-rated moments, but nothing that crosses into controversial territory. Overall, it’s a great comedic, romantic watch that’s not too raunchy for its intended age group.

We all know why we came—pun intended. It's a good show with great art, but terrible sound quality. If you came for another reason, turn away now; this is not the anime you're looking for. It's best watched with headphones since the sound is so inconsistent. It's also best to keep pure eyes away and out of earshot—one moment it’s quiet, and the next, someone is moaning louder than your volume can go.

All in all, this is an anime for the distinguished gentlemen with only the purest of trash taste. The story, as bare-bones as it is, isn’t the only thing laid bare in this ... show. If they were to add one extra line in the art, this would go from R+ to Rx.

But back to the point: the show has a plot. Angels vs demons turns out to be the central conflict. I thought it was going to be a simple rise-to-power story among the demons, but it’s actually an affront to God. However, this isn’t your typical action anime either. They found fun ways of showing who is truly the best demon, through eating competitions, music battles, the help of a hostage human with Stockholm syndrome, or a girl who believes she is dreaming since she’s been to Hell and back—literally multiple times. She may just be in complete denial of her existence at this point.

But back to the story—yada yada yada, a fallen angel turns into a demon lord, rises to power, thwarts the big bad’s plan, reveals her to the other demons, and steals her throne to fight God. But all we’ll see is one angel battle and dream of what the other angels are hiding.

Came for the culture, left with nostalgia. This was a lot better than I expected. I thought it was going to be a half-baked, half-assed action anime with a ton of fan service. But after the first episode, when it seemed like R+ could turn PG, it became tame very quickly, with only ecchi fan service at best. However, that isn't a complaint because, as simple as the story is, it made the characters, the ambition, and the culture feel very welcoming.

There isn't anything convoluted or overbearing—it simply is what it is: a show about an idol who pushes herself to be the very best ... and stands up for the people who stand with her. When a friend is attacked, she defends her honor to the very essence of her soul, leading her on a new path into pro wrestling. The WWE nostalgia was enough to keep you entertained. If you're like me, you'd be naming off each move as they do them—spears, piledrivers, figure-four leg locks, and tons more.

One con, though, is a flaw that they actually addressed multiple times in the show: she gets emotional and attempts big, flashy moves, which often fail. This results in the annoying, repetitive scene and sound of her screaming that she can't take anymore. For the first five episodes, I was willing to write the show off as nothing special—how do you lose to the same exact thing 55 times in a row without trying something different?

The show isn't just all laughs, though. It's an intermediate, keeping a constant serious tone of working yourself to the bone, shedding blood, sweat, and tears to accomplish your goal while staying true to who you are. Even during the annoyances at the beginning, I still found myself enthralled by the genuinely good fights—well-drawn and entertaining, like watching WWE. You get a glimpse behind the scenes, but everything is mostly said on the mat.

Overall, it was very enjoyable for an unexpected underdog of an anime.

At its heart, this show follows a 25-year-old nomad — a jack-of-all-trades who drifts from town to town, job to job, not out of necessity but for the sheer love of the game. He’s capable, intelligent, and endlessly adaptable, but never fixated on just one thing. Instead, he’s always learning, always evolving. In every place he lands, he manages to change the lives of those around him for the better, often without even realizing the full impact he’s made.

Peak '90s animation at its finest. It captures that nostalgic, gritty charm that fans of the era (especially us fellow “trash men”) will absolutely love. There's a ... surprising amount of care in the visuals, especially given the comedic tone.

The show features a rotating harem ensemble — a group of women whose lives he stumbles into and, often unexpectedly, transforms. Some despise him at first, only to realize after he’s gone just how deeply he affected them. While they wait and hope for his return, he keeps moving forward, always onto the next town, the next story, the next life to quietly improve.

I had a blast with this show. It’s short, sweet, and while it plays like a joke 90% of the time, it sneaks in these genuine, heartfelt moments that hit harder than expected. Beneath the humor and raunchiness lies a real character arc — not one marked by dramatic change, but by subtle accumulation. From the first episode, small, seemingly insignificant moments start to define who he is, and even though he never wavers from his path, you see the growth. It’s a surprisingly meaningful ride wrapped in a hilariously over-the-top package.
