Endro~!

This is another of those "cute girls doing cute things" shows. By itself that's not really a problem. The characters are just fleshed out enough to not feel like cutouts and the framing is done decently; however, there's really not a lot going on at the end of the day.

This is basically a slice-of-life show with a fantasy coat of paint with a dash of magical girls thrown in for good measure. The first few episodes do the framing fine, but once that's set up nothing is expanded on. This is an excuse plot through and through and used to set up silly scenarios. I ... would liken this show to Konosuba in that regard, but that show had its own glorious level of intentional awfulness with its protagonists and I simply can't find this group's quirks or antics nearly as funny.

I also had a few issues with the art. Characters always had some kind of blush no matter situation. Blush stickers, blush lines, luminescent blush, drunk blush- it all all there and sometimes it was stacked which just looked weird. I didn't find any of the designs or art particularly interesting which really made the already mediocre cute things going on only mildly enjoyable.

I wouldn't say no to this show being put on the TV as background noise, but it's not really anything worth putting any investment in.

I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t chuckle, heck I couldn’t even smile at the humor.
Usually I’m good with cute girls doing cute things types of anime but this just doesn’t work for me.
I suspect that this is a bad show to go into after watching Nichijou, which is thousands of times better than Endro in my opinion, thus my lack of appreciation.

Story is fair, at least up to where I dropped. The beginning events felt to me as if they just happened just for the sake of it. The demon lord time traveled and the story shifts to the hero’s party. The events that occur just.... ... feel too much like a PowerPoint presentation slideshow, where events come slide after slide. There are multiple time skips in the year just so the “desired” events come onto the screen faster. Also, this story is centered around the 4 girls in the hero party, not the demon lord time traveler exacting revenge, which was quite a disappointment.

The art is fair, not much to say about it. The art style is okay. However, I have this nagging feeling that the art palette for this series just seems a little off. In the end, art is nothing really worth mentioning.

The problem with the sound is that it is easily ignorable. Over the course of the four episodes I watched, I only noticed 3 times where a soundtrack played (disregarding OP and ED). For the rest of the time, I only thought that there was silence. This might be due to the fact that I was very bored and I may zone out but this is still bad. Also, the soundtracks that I heard are nothing to really compliment about.

The characters are, to me, boring. The interactions, to me, are boring. As stated in the beginning, I didn’t have any reaction towards the humor. I could understand it as humorous but not really react to it. The characters themselves just aren’t good in my opinion. Watching them go on and on is quite taxing for me. I don’t want to think more about this subject.

This was tasing to watch. I dragged myself for these 4 episodes, hoping for something good. I think I was trying to cheer myself up after ending Nichijou. I guess I achieved that in a way, since I am now full of disappointment with the fact that I wasted my time with this show. I couldn’t get this show at all.

I was deceived. I thought that this would be a humorous revenge story about the demon lord time traveler stopping heroes before they grow. I was right.... before I was wrong. The demon lord is NOT the main character; that title belongs to the heroes. The demon lord is NOT exacting revenge; she was before she realized its futility. Honestly, I believe this show had wasted a ton of potential going down the path it chose.

Some people may like it. I don’t. Some people may laugh. I didn’t.

In the end, I think I would’ve still rated this show relatively low, even if I wasn’t in this unfortunate watch order.

I won’t recommend this. Though you may find others who do.
