Came for the yandere, stayed for the plot.
Basically, the anime is about spirits. They're invisible to normal people, but our main characters can either see or sense them. They defeat spirits and add them to their collection to use and defend/battle against other spirits. The little girl, Yayoi, is a genius with an IQ of 160 (literally), who can see but not sense spirits. Keitaro, the black-haired mc, can sense spirits (but not see them), and gets dragged into the spirit battling life by Yayoi and Eiko. Eiko's the yandere girl, who has a... hidden, twisted side. Let's keep it at that. But her love ... and obsession for Keitaro is cute and amazing. And the anime got balanced comedy. Superb.

Be aware though, this anime might not seem disturbing at first, but once you watch it, it definitely has some quite dark moments that go further than mere murder, so if you get uncomfortable easy, maybe skip those parts. All in all this is one of the best 24-ep animes I've seen, hoping for a S2.

I didn't play the NieR games so I cannot comment on how accurate it is to the original game or something like that. I just came across the anime without prior knowledge, and it was just, amazing. Loved 2B and 9S's relation and how they were together in the end, along with the show's concept of consciousness in robots. The show also explains stuff nicely when needed so I never really got confused with the story. Give it a shot!


Maybe a slight spoiler:

I'll just keep this short. Let's first start off that Takahiro is a great manga writer, and he even wrote my favorite character (Esdeath), but this manga is a bit disappointing for me. Mato Seihei no Slave seems like a manga that really should be classified as an h-manga more than what it tries to be. The plot of the story, at the beginning of the story, is very interesting. As you read the chapters however, you see minimal story progression, because half of the pages are h-scenes. The story basically goes like "transform, beat enemy, h-scene". When you finally get some more plot and ... lore, a chapter later it's back to fanservice. This is mainly due to Kyouka "lending" Yuuki to other women, wow, a classic harem. This diminishes the depth of the characters and their relationships, reducing the narrative to a predictable and cliché harem dynamic. Just as it seems like the author realized this all the way around chapter 75-80, when he tried to solidify Yuuki and Kyouka's bond, guess what, the next few chapters its back to fanservice. Any progress made is swiftly overshadowed by a return to excessive fanservice, disrupting the potential for genuine emotional connection and character development.

Mato Seihei no Slave, while initially promising, ultimately succumbs to prioritizing explicit content over a well-crafted storyline.
