Jikan no Shihaisha

​Like many in her class, Koyuki Honda looks forward to her graduation ceremony. However, while her peers have family to attend, Koyuki has no one, as her only family—her brother—died years ago. While visiting his grave, she meets two brothers named Kiri and Victor Putin chasing a strange creature. They try to assure her that they are just actors shooting a movie; Victor, however, piques Koyuki's curiosity about the old legend of the clock tower at the cemetery: if you make a wish under the clock tower at midnight during a full moon, time will turn back, allowing someone to reclaim what they have lost.

Deciding to make her wish, Koyuki learns the horrifying truth: the legend is a ruse for time demons called "Horologues" to steal humans' time. As they are drawn to regrets, Victor uses Koyuki as bait to lure a demon there. Kiri and Victor explain that they are Chronos Rulers, warriors who fight against the Horologues using the "Oath of Time"—an item allowing them to speed up or slow down time.

With the demon destroyed and the crisis averted, Koyuki is able to go on her way free from regrets. However, she is not the only human with sorrows. The two boys must continue to hunt down Horologues in order to keep humanity safe.

7/10

Why the high rating? Okay it wasn't the best, but I still enjoyed it until the end! Jikan no Shihaisha had its good and bad moments. I'm a sucker for stories dealing with family, especially tragic ones and I think that's one of the main reasons I was drawn to this anime. Tbh, I had high expectations because I felt that the story had a lot of potential, especially after watching the first episode: Tragic Family Background + Ikemen/Bishounen + Time Eating Monsters + Action + Gambling Elements + Jazzy Music/Hyped OP/Beautiful ED ?! Count me in!

I even said that it was ... going to be my favorite anime of the season but, that was in episodes 1-2 ^^; I think my opinion changed after the new characters were introduced. After that, the pacing changed and I felt that maybe they weren't going to be able to resolve everything in just 13 episodes. Maybe it was because there was so much they could do with that amount of episodes, or maybe the manga is just bad, I don't really know. Nonetheless, that wasn't enough of a reason for me to drop it. To me it's either I like it or I don't. If I don't like it then I drop it, simple as that. If I finish an anime until the end, then that means that it was worth my time.

Is there better anime out there? Yes.
Will you miss out if you don’t watch it? Hmm, not really.
Is it worth a try? I think you should try watching a few episodes before deciding whether to keep watching or drop it. If you have the time, then why not? I sometimes end up enjoying anime that most people don't like~ (as you can see from my rating compared to the others hehe)


With that said, I will be reading the manga. Maybe, just maybe, the manga will make up for what the anime lacked. ^_^

Mixed Feelings

Alright, I'm going to try and write this as spoiler free as possible, and break it down in the categories MAL offers.

Story: 3/10 - The story had a great premise, something similar to D. Gray Man almost. These Chronos Rulers, fight time-eating demons, and there's an overarching plot of getting one character's time back. Sounds great right? Unfortunately, the story lived up to that premise for only the first episode. The rest of the series was a lightning flashforward rush to get to the main point. I think if this series had been 24 episodes, had more interactions like we saw in the first episode, ... it might have come off a lot better. Instead, we got this sloppy mess where it seems like they tried to hit the fast forward button to get to the 'big points' without filling the plot holes and confusing bits in-between.

Art: 8/10 - I enjoyed the quality of the art. It was very pretty, and there was clearly a great deal of work put into it. It's one of the redeeming qualities of the show, but not THE redeeming quality.

Sound: 10/10 - Oh wow, the soundtrack was amazing! I love the ending song, as well as the music through out the entire series. It was all very jazzy and snazzy. Bad rhyming aside, this was the only area I have no complaints for.

Character: 3/10 - Character development? What character development? - I think that alone is pretty self-explanatory.

Enjoyment: 4/10 - I really just enjoyed the art and the music. The story line was so confusing it sucked. I was disappointed because the premise seemed really good.

Overall: 5/10 - If we lump everything together, it's really just an 'okay' show. There's nothing particularly special about it, it doesn't really stand out, it's just okay.

Jikan no Shihaisha aka Chronos Ruler is over. This show made me mad. It was so rife with plot holes and logic issues from the first episode. Nor did it get better with time. Its characters continued to not make sense and to do things out of character constantly. The only good point about this show is MAYBE the character designs. Even the actions scenes were lackluster. I give this anime a 2 out of 10. Surprisingly, I would recommend this anime to someone who doesn't care about continuity at all. This has been your spoiler free but not really review on Jikan no Shihaisha.
