Recommended to skip reading this anime synopsis and reviews. You will be surprise how well-crafted this anime.

Story 8: I didn't read anime's synopsis and reviews. I just watch it randomly. In eps 1, I thought like some trash cliche anime where the heroine is too kind, looks weak, and meets some handsome guy. But I still hold-on until 70% of eps 1 where the whole scene that I have watched are inside visual novel game and somehow the real heroine is introduced at in the end of the episode, she is a villain-looks. It's really surprised me that made my neighbor mad because I sound ... noisy. Anyway, the story set on cliche genre about playing a visual novel otome game in medieval fantasy but in villain-looks perspective. The eps 1 hooked me that I wanted to watch next episode.

Characters 9: All character well-crafted, it's top notch writing. It has many characters and seems like they have a good traits. The characters have their own goal, motivation, and conflict. Our heroine is is always ten step thinking versus other characters. I mean, because she has already played the game more than ten I guess. Because of the experience, our heroine take any conflict and resolved it easily. Not just the game experience, our heroine is also has a good communication. She talks what she needs, and always in logical side. She is typical lazy MC where their motivation will be up if it benefit for them or in a danger. She is lovable heroine where it's somehow kinda idiot but smart, also kinda creepy but cute. It's really different typical cool-silent type girl.

Animation/Art 7: The characters design were good. However, they have CGI, used in creatures that hard to drawn by hand. The CGI doesn't match with background and framerate, thus making it distracting.

Sound/Music 7: I never skip opening music, it's really banger! For the sound like battle, everyday, etc I don't remember much, I think they used less, or no music at all. I think it's good because the shows should make viewer awkward because the heroine, in positive way.

Enjoyment 8: I really enjoy the anime. I was always every week for the last month to watch this anime. I hope, I can see the heroine again.

Overall 8: Recommended to watch, it's cliche story, but MC already know that, so she will handle the cliche things with her personality and that's what make the anime interesting.

The whole story started daily life from 1-6, little action, has some typical cliche plot and introduction characters. Enjoy the shows until eps 6 then story would start to develop and gain more pace. After episode 11, I start to cry.

Most isekai doesn't shows "ethical" and "caring", somehow episode 1 it shows all of the characters has two distinguish traits "ethical" and "caring". Watching from eps 1, it's feel like being hugged by fluffy cute bear that warm my heart. I get attached to characters after episode 1 especially the king (I almost disbelieve he did that to summoners), the image of typical king would ... be like evil dictatorship, but then just for minute he become a caring polite person. I really respect the king in this anime after watch episode 1. This "ethical" and "caring" will become a plot device for the next episodes, it's still okay because they still use logical rather than fake empathy like Pluto anime (see my review Pluto for more detail).

The heroine Suzune Inukami is different with other heroine. She is mature but she has personality changes after summoned to isekai, like she loves being summoned to isekai and really happy for it. So she is mature but also childish side when thinking about isekai. But her action quite logical and not just being sake happiness and doing what she like, not like that. She still follow rules and caring with others. Also, this heroine not easily to get embarrassed.

For the hero Kazuki Ryuusen, he is a normal smart person I guess. He is the one that didn't accept to be summoned and hesitate for fighting demon. He is smart person that really love the current status in his earth world. So that's why he didn't like being summoned. But I understand why he does that. Of course, he will also change. Also, his personally is really good where I expect him to have jealousy but he don't. Also, really funny that he care about getting embarrassing that he can't call the daughter of the king with just a name without like -san or -sama (you know it) in front of his friend. Later then when he and the daughter of the king alone, he call her name without like -san or -sama.

For Ken Usato, our focused MC or healing magic user, he is like normal school boy. He don't have much to do, always looking up, has mid self-esteem, thinking neighbor's grass always greener and typical normal person that want to achieve something but seems impossible. But then he summoned to isekai, and he want change and become useful like Suzune Inukami and Kazuki Ryuusen on the earth. He think rational, logical, caring, don't like to lose and also not getting easily embarrassed. He is a working hard that he never think the training is useless. He really care about the new life. The introduction episode has some romance with Suzune Inukami but I think not called it romance, because he sees her as senpai not romance partner, however, both interaction really wholesome.

For the antagonist, I smell typical a good antagonist where the antagonist doesn't do bad thing because he is bad, but it's just an order from top where they didn't like it but must to do bad things. I mean, they also shows "ethical" and "caring", I'm surprised!

TLDR
This anime will feel part of empty heart by showing "ethical" and "caring" aspect. It's structured really good and not kind rushing. I would give this anime as best character development.

This anime has unpredicted plot and fast paced story.
Apple may begin falling in my backyard but this anime pure a mess in positive way.
Of course Newton doesn't do anything here for this anime, but the logic equal E=MC2 absurdness which is equal a light positive.
It may need to take a while to pick up many good apples that falls from tree, same as this anime, has tons of characters, unique personality, goofiness, some lacks, and skills which really interesting.
Author put everything from different isekai to one storyline which become a complete paradox.
Like a real life, ignorance is a bliss, many characters in this anime ... don't know what danger they will step.
It may begin not understanding but this anime would not need a brain cell to watch, I just pick a dropped apple to eat while watching this anime, but somehow my hand didn't move to my mouth because I need to think what's going on this episode.
Watching this anime in 19xx will be seen as Monokuma, but I see it as pure grey area.
Anxiety, curious, amusing, funny, and confused would be your best friend when watching this anime.
If you realize, that this review not readable and not really understandable, my review is success, so watch this anime and you will know why I write like this... in positive way.

Recommended for fans that following Idolmaster from latest movie or playing Million Live game or fans that listen to their music only on music platform. For me, had watched the movie, played game Starlit Season, and listen to their music on music platform.

By did three of those above, it will make better experience watching this Million Live anime because it will have a nostalgia vibe and matching vibe like "Yeah, she would doing this because her X personality". The matching vibe doesn't mean negative where know the plot went, but in positive way like "if she personality X, meets personality Y, what will happen?" that ... would find intriguing that trying to guess what interaction going about. If the guess correct, then feeling happy that the characters stay in characters. If the guess wrong, it's a new discovery of characters personality and feeling curious.

All characters introduced with great pacing from episode 1 to 4. No rushing and characters interaction is amusing because their unique personality. They are top well-written like I felt the anxiety when the characters felt anxiety. I felt happy when the characters felt happy.

The conflict solved rather fast in one episode, where original Idolmaster need at least 2 episodes for major conflict to solve the problem. So the feeling of worried, anxiety and cynicism about 60% compare to original Idolmaster but still has awkward moment that would find interesting. I believe it's because the new characters is so talented to become idols that do less mistake. However I found episode 4, the conflict is really best. Idolmaster conflict really captured depiction of real life.

The CGI is better than I expected. There are no clipping, the model matching with the background, no lighting error, and no weird movement even the 3D really pleasant to watch. However, the model of Shizuka's hair that looking from sideling seems a little buggy for me.

The ART is really interesting that when paused for a sec, the ART blended really well with CGI and were created really detailed like have a good lightning environment typical high quality visual novel background.

Overall it did make me felt anxiety, happy, laugh, curiosity, empathy.

This side story really cliche.

The story is about going into some country and solve its problem. The problem was simple like prevent two good guy turn against each other and defeat the bad guy.

The pacing is well-done, however, found annoying with the cliche like bad guy always old people, good guy always young, the two good guys somehow stupid that they didn't know being manipulated until Rimuru helps them, the bad guy also stupid where they should have escape after they found out they do bad things rather than face on with good guys, the bad guy sacrifice his friend for their own power ... but still lose, the true mastermind summoned by the bad guy, however, the bad guy is useless then the mastermind kill the bad guy then mastermind just vanish because not interested, then the country is saved.

However, I still gets laugh and entertained little. But really hate with the cliche.

Kamonohashi Ron is illogical detective genre.

The illogical here is the culprit. The motive of culprit is illogical like something in real life will never happen. The culprit choose a method that find hard to execute.

Let's say, there is a stalker that come to your house and want to rape you, but then he died because you kill him by piggy bank to his head. Would you rather call police that you have accidentally killed a stalker or hide the stalker's body on river? A sense normal people that never kill someone will be in panic and call police that you have accidentally kill the ... stalker and the neighbors will help you too. However this anime choose the hard way by hide the stalker's body. The culprit also need to buy a brand new piggy bank because broken and has some blood on it. Then the culprit also need to buy a big suitcase to hide the body. Really? That so much effort doesn't make sense.

Another illogical culprit is making a plan that based luck. You see, when you try to kill someone, you need 100% chance to kill someone, but this illogical culprit tried by luck. So, in a hot spring, he just put a towel on the water to make the victim step on it, but what? it works! the victim died by slipped.

Another illogical culprit, a police man chopped a suicide serial killer's hands and hide the body because his handcuff gone somewhere. The police told lie to their partner that the serial killer escaped with his handcuffed. The body of serial killer found on truck with his hand cut off. Why would the police chopped serial killer's hands and told lie? Because he want to hold his reputation. Handcuff gone mean reduce his reputation. Holy moon, a normal sense police man didn't care about their handcuff if it gone and if he tells to their partner that he found the serial killer body, I'm sure he will get promoted and upper didn't care if his handcuff gone.

I have watched and read many mystery genre, this shows would be bottom on my list.

Spy x Family an easy milking anime.

The plot really easy to make even a 1st grade can make like this. Every episode in this anime doesn't have connection in other episodes, so there is no development going on.

The anime really focus on general audience rather than plot, like how come Anya could make traps that could defeat a bad guy in short time. This anime will milking audience just to see something random in unique family, and they will praise the episode.

They really lack of consequence, like nothing happen on the end of every episode. I hope they not just focus on slice of ... life, but also plot.

This show equal to Pokemon I guess. So it's not targeted for grown up adult. I hope they focus on plot rather than on silly things.

Overall it's still recommend to watch this anime. But disappointed that no plot progress. This anime will be milking until the author get bored.

Pluto is an empathy product that you may find boring.

Pluto is an anime about mystery, thriller, and detective. The anime's genre switched to drama after the first episode. This anime shows a lot of empathy scenes but those things are hard to reach for a guy who has watched a lot of movies, and anime, read novels, and played video games. Those `empathy` scenes are just bland, nonsense, and annoying. Let me explain more.

Great storytelling uses empathy but this empathy must have logic behind it. The anime provides an empathic scene that is unrealistic. Let's say when a flood comes (not spoiler & not in ... anime), normal people will evacuate themself to a shelter or go rooftop but a character in this anime would just watch it flooding until it's too late to evacuate then someone dies. Because of that, I found it hard to empathise with a character.

The dialogues are too long and contain a product of empathy that produces a contrastable red flag like they will introduce a guy that has something to protect, then the next scene they will die. They should make a scene that prevents the audience from knowing a scene is a red flag.

This anime contain mostly adult but there is no action, no battle scene, no gore scene, no horror scene, and no adult scene. Even a kissing scene doesn't exist. I just watching until 6 eps, so don't know if they will exist in 7 or 8. The thing is I want to watch gore scenes, but disappointed that they never exist.

Also, some scenes are stupid and nonsense like when a character is in a place that far, then after a few seconds, they spawn on a certain location that far away. I believe it's a time plot hole & a place plot hole. Most people don't care, but that thing is crucial to the audience to know where are character's position are. So they don't just spawn nowhere in the scene.

Summary: However, the script and characters are well written. So it's still recommended to watch for most general audiences. Maybe someone that never watched anime, will find this anime amusing. But it's still disappointing that they use a product of empathy a lot without logic.

Good Night World might decent anime TV to watch where the theme about programming, gamer, game developer, family, shut-in, real life, virtual world, and human-like AI. The anime focus on character driven where most storytelling character driven is really good, however, it lack of world building, skill explanation, and fighting scene.

The characters have many personality, but a bit of cliche that you can found typical anime. Some plot twist is not make sense, like a green apple that not ready to eat. The character driven result in multiple POV (point of view) where it get interesting, but the viewer could get confused.

The ... anime could have been good if they could make scene more interesting and increase the stake. Many scenes have been easily predict. They could have add logic scene where the characters must solve a riddle but they focus on `emotion`. This `emotion` thing is something contradict with the anime theme where it should have focus on solving riddle where could get interesting.

Focusing on `emotion` make viewer get upset too, an example (not spoiler), a guy want to save a cat in the bottom of bridge, a girl told the man that he might die, then the guy ignore the girl and going to save it, the cat successfully saved but then the guy falling down to bottom of the bridge, the next episode found out that the man was alive that went up to bridge, why is he alive? because the girl recommend the guy tied a rope to his body before jump to bottom of the bridge. This type of cliche used many time in this anime.

Many potential wasted for this anime, but it's decent to watch for time being because there is no other anime to watch.

No spoiler in this content.

I don't understand Attack of Titan anymore.

Let's go back to episode 1 until Eren become Titan to put a giant builder into the gate. We have a central character around Eren and the 3 militaries. We always know what they feel, what they think, and what they do. Titans are unknown to us at that time. However, after Eren face the ocean for the first time, turn out to be annoying. Eren does not become a central character anymore. We become feelingless don't know what they feel, what they think, and what they do. I want to feel Eren's revenge ... but they switch perspective to other characters which I don't think really necessary. The scene is also confusing like a frog trying to leap different stones on the water. Perspective become A, then become B, then become C. I don't like it anymore. The taste of mystery is gone.

ART:
Bad, really bad. Too much CGI for the titans that we know it's CGI that doesn't blend with 2D settings. They should use 2D on every character, but settings can be CGI.

SOUND:
Doesn't make sense that doesn't suit many scenes. It has been better if it was silent because can become creepy.

CHARACTERS:
We know, we have so much development in there and there but switching perspectives makes the story uninterested because of loss of a taste, mystery.

ENJOYMENT:
Confused so much that hardly enjoy the show.

OVERAL:
It could be better if just focus on Paradis Island folks like Eren rather than others.
