Where there were first cute self-contained stories, there is now S U S P E N S E. This show is drip-feeding me information and I am on the ground SLOBBERING it up. Osanai is standing over me. Smiling.
There is a single overarching narrative now, and even though Osanai hardly gets any screentime, she's THERE. The entire time. In the background, you know she's there. The whole tone has shifted. Osanai is a manipulative MENACE. The suspense is palpable, and I feel like I've self-inflicted it somehow? There's not even THAT much going on every episode, yet the whole time I'm sitting there thinking "What

Kami wa Game ni Ueteiru.
(Anime)
add
Watching this is as enjoyable as eating slices of slightly dried out lukewarm cucumber.
Generic story - generic art style - generic one dimensional characters. They try to lean into the "No Game no Life" aesthetic - which is fine I guess, originality is not a requirement for something to be good - but it doesn't even work a little bit, the material that's here is just ass. The games and their solutions make no sense, none of the characters have any depth, and the animation is plain bad. It's just more of that boring, same old shit you've seen a million times before. Not worth your ...

This whole anime is so way too fixated on sex, and it's starting to get old. Not the girls though, they don't get any older it seems. This whole show has been borderline CP and every season the writer just can't help himself. I really fucking wished they skipped past all of that bs and told an actual story because the world building is really good.
Since last season the protagonist has gone from being very confident in himself to being a complete pushover because his girlfriend left him right after they shagged (please stop). It feels forced, like the writer thought "he needs to be ...

Not Recommended Funny
This show is like One Punch man. If One Punch Man was not funny. And Saitama never had to train to get his powers. And he was a girl magnet. And none of the characters had any character. And the story wasn't very interesting. And it tried to be an isekai but also a high-school drama.
Most events in the show go like this: There is a problem. The MC, who is very attractive and powerful, shows up. He solves the problem by being attractive and powerful. Then all the ladies gush and blush over him because he is SO ATTRACTIVE and powerful. Then the ...

Big ups to the MC for not molesting anyone this season, that's a real improvement from the last one. I suppose I can at least give this season a passing grade now.
That said, my review of the previous season mentioned this show is like a strawberry cake with bits of shit sprinkled over it. This time around there's a little bit less shit on the cake, but the guy with the fetish is still there sprinkling it, and he's still ruining the cake for everyone else. The MC is still a perverted scumbag, and it's still all played off for laughs. It's so annoying, ...

This show is like a delicious, sweet strawberry cake that's got bits of shit sprinkled over it. What's it doing there? I don't know, some guy with a weird fetish put it there and ruined the experience for everyone else.
I don't get it. I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it. This show is fantastic. They created a whole ass in-universe language that is actually spoken by the characters. The animation is off the charts. The world building is really good. Why then. Why? Why do they make the main character one that not just thinks "oh hey, an underage girl, that's ...

Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san
(Anime)
add
Unlike what the title will tell you, Shikimori IS just a cutie. Just one that has cool facial expressions sometimes. Combined with being very horny for the mc, not much different from any other cute-girl anime.
The whole gimmick of the show is "Look everyone, OUR cute girl isn't ONLY cute, she also looks cool and she can do karate kicks!11!". But then that's her whole character and there isn't really much of a story. The mc is insufferably friendly and nice to anything that breathes, and is in constant need of help from his infinitely more competent girlfriend. And she's fine with that, and ... |
