Preliminary (4/12 eps)
Much funnier than the manga. Alya is animated perfectly, her live mannerism takes the show to the next level.

Don't expect much plot, it is a sitcom. Most of the fun is what they say to each other in different situations. The plot is basically "this dreaming boy is a realist" plus some lines from Nisekoi without marriage and mafia.
The characters are also generic.
Bland bitch protagonist haircut (all romcoms): check
Bald horny stupid guy (chunibuyo, eminence): check
Younger sister with huge brother complex: check

What makes it ti stand out:

The show is depressing as fuck.
But good.
As fuck.
It is about old veteran, all her friends are dead or dying. The men who loved her is dead and she did not even realize he loved her. She goes to the paces where events of her pas has been to revive the memories.
Frieren departs on the journey of memory, and her memories are the most important part, perhaps more important than the present. It is not even the "main story" interrupted by the series of the flashbacks exactly because the present story is mostly uneventful and just an container to relive the events of the past.
It ...

Kyokou Suiri (Anime) add
After Senjougahara learned that Koyomi is a vampire, she has left him. Acerola transformed into 19-years-old LEWD version of herself, forced Koyomi to be her boyfriend and in absence of Meme Oshino rules the world of apparitions.
I shit you not.
There are so many parallels with Monogatari that every episode you expect a Hanekawa clone to pop up, and when they redo the crane machine scene you will feel disappointed that they did not pull out an animated doll.

On the other side, why the show is named "In/spectre"? Because it is a play of words with "inspector". There is no inspector in this anime but it ...

Overall: old computer game engine is used to create an anime which lacks substance.

Art: It is like watching somebody playing a computer game from 2000. A lot of CGI, mostly animated rocks or foliage. Animated cutscenes with animation on the level of "Full throttle" (i.e. 1996).

Story: The plot is yawn so far. "Bureau 13" premise with a bit of Hellboy and Indiana Jones. Too many cave scenes, perhaps the limitation of the graphic engine: they gave a graphic engine to render rocks so they make caves.
The scenes of secret Jame-Bond-like base are again from very old computer game/

The characters are yawn: a lot of ...

Preliminary (7/12 eps)
Bottom line: "quintuplets" without plot, "monster musume" without monsters, hentai without sex, but not so bad overall.

This ecchi comedy jumps straight into the heat (literally): young and totally ordinary boy starts to live with a number of girls, and each of them is his future bride and out of the blue wants to have-sex-with/marry him, while the bland hero desperately tries to protect his virginity.

The show has two sides, which saves it from the plot perspective: Each girl has a background, mostly representing different categories of the fappable hentai FMC, like american girl, russian girl, gernan girl, chinese girl, teacher, hanekawa/pansy clone, etc. And each ...

Unfortunately this anime does a great disservice to the manga.

The manga is indeed obvious satire based on Kyogen traditional Japanese comedy, which can be described as slapstick, jackass and buffoonery. It is obvious starting from the style in manga (where each character is represented with a mouth open for half of the face either yelling or in exasperation). Each character in manga is obvious idiot from the beginning.
The satire includes not only the harem genre per se, as something only complete idiots can go into and even make it work, but also Japanese society and customs, where not only the moral choice of ...

A boy returns to a hometown after some years.
There he meets his old friends.
A girl, who was super nice and kind but now acts like she hates him.
Old friend.
His old friend's sister who has grown up a bit.
And other unimportant characters.
The boy starts living alone.

This is a good start and potential for wonderful story.

Self-aware dark comedy-parody isekai very much alike of "Interstate 60"
First of ll, let's start with the genre.
Sometimes dark, sometimes funny odyssey of an unready and naive hero, a wonderful adventure turned something not-what-you-had-expected. And the hero have to run for his life or endure embarrassment, humiliation and inconveniences. But upon reflection you understand that how the real life is, in grotesque and exaggerated form, and the hero is actually getting the life lessons leading to the catarsis and personal growth.
First thing that comes to mind is "Interstate 60".
Second: "Hitchhiking guide to the galaxy".
Of course this anime is not as brilliant, it contains less recognizable satire, ...

It is NOT about old guy turned into a loli.
This is a generic isekai adventure with a player suddenly appearing in the world of the game he was playing before and suddenly it is life, there is pain and blood, NPCs are having free will, fall in love, have children, etc. You know the drill.

Unfortunately, this show doesn't explore the shock and psychological trauma of being ripped out of the ordinary life and being placed into a world that looks familiar but anybody can just impale you with a spear on a spot, like "AFK" (highly recommended).
It is not even Alicization which explores the free ...

What about "detective" aspect of this show?
Expect some trash middle schooler fanfic about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson being a middle schooler and a hot chick with supernatural abilities fighting supernatural mutants.

The whole detective aspect of the show is the hot chick knowing everything about a particular character without explaining how she knows.
In the very first episode it becomes utterly ridiculous on the level
"You are this and that"
"How do you know"
"Wait, but actually you are that and this"
"Wow, how did you know this as well.... But I'm actually rather that"
"I knew it"
The revelations go on, not caring that every new revelation cancels the genius ...
