I see a lot of reviews on opposite sides of the scale. It feels like people are either extremely harsh or extremely in love with it. I enjoy the series personally but i'd like to be fair.

Characters 7/10
I do agree with people in saying some characters lack depth in terms of issues and just overall info on said character. I think Nene is enjoyable in the sense of a hopeless romantic due to me knowing people like that. The leg jokes are a bit repetitive and sometimes annoying. I do feel like character development for some important characters doesn't exist and that the ... main isn't involved in her own issues. Nene is very much sheltered from said issues. My favorite has to be Mitsuba but i'll admit despite all that happens not a lot changes character wise for him. Same for Minamoto.

Story 7/10
The premise is great i just don't feel like there is enough of a push to the story, i feel it should have chosen to go one way or another. Either a slice of life of dealing with the mysteries or make it progressive story with the antagonist they clearly made. I do like the mini subplots added as well. (trying my best not to add spoilers). There are heavier topics discussed but its never done in a way where it changes the course of the story entirely . I do wish it would delve a bit more and give it more time to ferment though. But i do enjoy those sections. There are some things that could be changed like giving characters more independence from one another or just not reinforcing the fact that nene is a girl and shouldn't do things. It makes sense why its said but it doesn't really need to be mentioned.

Expectations i feel are what really make the opinions. I went in expecting a light hearted show that was kind of a cute romance and thats kinda what i got. So i'm not really disappointed and overall enjoy it . I feel if you go into the series having extremely high expectation or expecting a grand tale then you will leave disappointed.

I recommend this if you are in the mood for an overall cute series that feels kind of more of a casual read with a slight bit of depth. Overall an 8/10 in my opinion

I picked this up after hearing a fair bit about it, it was exactly what i was expecting , which isn't bad at all. I do feel like this would be better as a show since the story moves very episodically.

I do enjoy that the main character has other hobbies or quirks that make him a charming and enjoyable and that he has a motivation.

I'll admit though the content is like the title, Brutal, when it came to some scenes i do wish it wasn't as dragged out like in scene regarding assault.

I overall did enjoy it though despite that. Some parts ... were even funny just because of how outrageous some scenes were, which made it fun to read. Such as the bunjee jump scene. Simple things also made it charming like the ugly pottery.
When you see the bad people within the story you're mostly thinking "alright lets see what happens to em".
Definitely reminds me a tiny bit of Girl From Nowhere premise wise but i feel this is different enough from it. Overall 8/10 because it made me giggle.

Idk how but the main character almost felt like a side piece of the story. ( Spoiler?not really)

With the title Yasuke i was expecting it to be about Yasuke, which it partially is i'll give some credit to that. Instead the majority of the show was about a character i had no reason to care about , random villains that barley interested me.

What i did like; I did like the fact that they didn't entirely ignore that Yasuke's race would affect they way he was treated and seen in a different country. I liked that they gave him good character, not much of a ... personality aside from kind and heroic though. Some parts were decently amusing, the fights were good visually. I enjoyed characters designs as well.

What i didn't like; the overall story, i would've been much more interested to learn about the character it advertised. They do show some of his back story which i feel would have been far more interesting than anything Saki had going on at all. I had no reason to care for her at all and wished she wasn't even in the story or the story was just rewritten entirely . I feel like the advertisement was just bait to watch some show about another kid with powers.

Don't watch this if you're expecting to actually learn about Yasuke himself at alllll

Why i dropped it within the first 10 minutes. I started the series because i heard it had a good female lead who wasn't over sexualized. I don't think the person who said that understands what sexualization is, you don't have to be naked to be sexualized. Every 1-4 minutes i see the main lead's underwear who is a minor in shots that are so unneeded. There is also a really long SA scene (i'm sure it wasn't that long but it felt like it) and it made me uncomfortable. I feel like they should have either kept that scene and have a different ... shot facing away from it or focus on something else or not on the scene directly. Or take that section out entirely and have her beat the cop or it not be present at all. I'm sure the plot is probably amazing but i got uncomfortable and had to turn it off.

The only things i can say i enjoyed were the art, voice acting ,character designs and the overall idea otherwise i could not enjoy it.

I love this show but i do see and hear everyone's points on the matter of sexim and transphobic and homophobic hints in the show. It definitely something you have to push through but can't deny it is there. Nostalgia is what saves this show in a way since that is the main reason i enjoy it. I do not enjoy the push of gender rolls, it is often brought up but in a way where it is almost laughable . I enjoy the show but i will admit those do hinder my experience. I do appreciate the author cleaning up the anime a bit ... in terms of the poor words used. I own the box set there are a few lines that stick out. " confused women's disease ", " what can a woman get from being with another woman?'. The second line was kept in for some reason?

Now on to why i enjoyed it as a girl, i personally just find it to be a very carefree show. The aesthetics and the humor is enjoyable for me personally. I just enjoy that it is ridiculous and over the top. I think the main character is great and very likable. Plus everyone likes the idea of just seeing characters be cartoonish. Most of the characters are very enjoyable.

Overall i enjoyed this show for its characters , its carefree attitude and the aesthetics + nostalgia from middle school. I do although dislikes its hints said issues above which i honestly cringe and try to shrug off.

i feel like this show suffered by a lot of budget cuts, it has the exoskeleton of something great and has potential . I overall love the themes but they were thrown in, the show feels chunky in the sense of great sections and just something flimsy. I feel the series should've been longer to have time to flesh out what the story was trying to portray. Especially internal conflict and over all plot . I would give it a 5 but i don't think that's fair .

Oh yeah this is spoiler free and also requiring me to make the review longer
