Preliminary (4/12 eps)
The basic premise of this anime is as follows:

Inspired by his childhood friend's father, the main character wants to explore dungeons and make a name for himself. However, he is weak and cautious, so he grinds daily on the top floor, killing slimes. After killing over 1,000 slimes, he comes across a summon card that gives him a legendary companion to aid him in the dungeons. To his surprise, he ends up with not one but two lolis, an incredibly rare occurrence.

The main gimmicks of this silly anime are the loli servants and the protagonist's odd use of tools and craftiness to stay safe and ...

It was fun the first few episodes but, there are few things that has become irrelevant and has made the show kind if a bore. Took me 8 episodes to actually confirm and to see if these annoying points would actually continue or not. These points being:

1. TOO MUCH recycling of frames. You can actually count the main attack scenes of both servants 7-8 times in just one episode.
2. EXCESSIVE REPETITIVE LINES. Too much that you'll be aware of those lines once being uttered by the characters multiple times in the most random scene possible.
3. POOR SCENE/FRAME EXECUTION. Some actions of the animation "lacks proper ...

the series is set in a the modern world where fantasy dungeon opened sometime ago similar to Solo leveling and i think that why many have have mixed feeling about the series as it so similar to solo leveling it compared to it and come out the worse for it

the MC Takagi has been a dungeon explorer for two year and still stuck on the first floor hunting slimes until he kill a special slime that drops a servant card allow the holder to summon a monster or in the case of our MC a loli Valkyrie and he begins to get stronger ...

I can't understand why this series is rated so low! The main character is incredibly cool, striving relentlessly toward their dreams and training with unyielding dedication. The design of the servants and other characters is stunningly beautiful, even downright cute at times. Plus, the romantic relationships add an extra layer of charm to this already amazing series. How could such a fantastic anime end up with such a low score? It’s truly baffling. Is it really just because of some minor animation flaws or the fact that some fight scenes were toned down?

This is why I never trust the scores on myanimelist. Numbers ...

ts is so buns bru give me my time back like bro how do studios pay to get ts animated this should've stayed as a novel or whatever. 😭😭


I'm truly disappointed by the way this was presented; it felt like a waste of time. The storyline did not live up to the expectations, and the character development seemed lacking. However, I must admit that the use of vibrant colors and the thrilling explosions did add some excitement to an otherwise dull experience. It's disappointing to see potentially engaging content fall short, leaving viewers like me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, I'd say I'd rather watch paint dry, ...

From an adult point of view this was a very average anime. It feels like it was made for children rather than a more mature audience (no gore, low stakes, no strong language). For older viewers this is a very mediocore experience. There was nothing particularly unique or interesting about the permise and the characters felt pretty generic. Even a "bad" anime usually has that one memorable character, because they were funny, weird or unique. This anime dosent even have one memorable character, they are all extremely generic. There was also no deep plot beyond, a mysterious dungeon appears and the main character wants to ...

You dont have to reinvent the wheel every time.
Mob kara Hajimaru Tansaku Eiyuutan is an incredibly charming anime that exceeded my expectations.

I want to first introduce myself as a connoisseur of the fantasy adventure, and I pride myself on my taste in such. now with that cringey intro out of the way, this show truly is a fantasy gem that only comes everyone once in a blue moon. I swear to god every season has at least a small handful of fantasy/isekai shows that have something similar to this shows premise.

The main character, Kaito, is basic, but not really meant to be projected onto, ...

“A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero” aka “Mobkara” is what happens when a cliche idea is butchered by amateurish writing.

This show is a rare gem. Indeed, rarely do I see something so badly written, devoid of charm and utterly boring. 99% of what we see is plot with little to no reverence to the story.

Before we start I would like to explain something. I will be talking about “plot” and “story”. Many people use those terms interchangeably. I’m not one of those people, so to make sure everyone is on the same page…
I use the definitions for “plot” and “story” as Lisa ...

There was a lot of potential here, and it lived up to little of it.

The animation swung from okay to bad. There was one point where there was obviously supposed to be an ad break, but the animation actually jumped back a few frames to about 1/2 a second before, and then that 1/2 a seconds worth of action NEVER HAPPENED. It was a ret-con in real time.

I'd say someone had a dream with this and it died in production hell.

All the right elements are there to make a decent fun story, but it feels like it was either budget, time, or talent starved.

It's ...

A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero - Does the inspiration to go dungeon exploring make for a "zero to hero" experience? Many a times, yes...but in this show, sadly not.

Life's daily heroes and their antics giveth and maketh the dreamers of the young to have aspirations doing huge, notable things for themselves, being the aft influencers to be given inspiration and to do things for the better. That is a good thing, and for the eponymous novelist Kaitou, that's exactly his plan with penning such a story with Mob kara Hajimaru Tansaku Eiyūtan a.k.a A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero, to ...

I put a lot of hope in this one after reading the manga but the anime is such a let down.

I don't read the novel so I don't know which is more base on it but the manga is so much fun and a lot of laugh. In the anime all the fun part and laugh were gone, this just became plain loli adventure and I don't know the main point of it at all. Even the story is so different and not making any sense. (I need to read the novel soon.)

I hope they just follow the manga, why rewrite the story if it ...

now look, as my first review I didnt want it to be "my professional experience and opinions on this show" No. I wanted it to be everything I found wrong with the show.

So we start with the obvious. Lolis, There is a LOT of lollis in the cast and your into that then thats fine but im not, it just got really dry after the 3rd one was introduced, and then they introduced another one so 4 lollis in total.
second, (small spoiler) the 'drop rates', the servants the mc finds are supposed to be rare drops that go for "millions of yen" yet throughout ...

Another anime of those that appears when you have nothing to watch, and maybe it would be better to have nothing to watch... But I gave it a chance, because just like in any season, I need to watch at least 1 isekai anime or something like that (in this case it's RPG elements). Honestly, as I expected, it was an anime more or less, with very cool action moments (which surprised me in the first episodes, I didn't expect this kind of quality in an anime like this lol), but it always ends up falling into the same thing as always in animes of ...

Well it's Fate with lolis, not much else to say. Animation is decent, mc is annoying but otherwise there aren't any glaring issues or anything. It's overall pretty mediocre.

Watch if you like lolis and can get past a dumb main character. Everything else about this is just standard. OST is okay but not memorable, animation does it's job but isn't amazing or anything, character designs are okay, plot is just typical go fight in a dungeon to get stronger, nothing you haven't already seen before. Only redeeming factor is that the lolis are summoned through cards, so it's Fate with lolis but worse.

This is a dungeon exploration series, and has themes of harem, it's quite average so I wouldn't really recommend it, but the art and animation is actually pretty ok. I would highly recommend the manga if you want a better version of this series.

Story: 4/10
Generic dungeon exploration, MC gets very lucky quite a few times, a few girls like him, and even though he's not OP, he's pretty up there. Some may find some resemblance to Fate series because of the Servants, but no this is far from it. Anyways, the anime's storyline is quite shallow, generic and clichéd.

Characters: 4/10
Not much to say, bland and ...

Another anime that relies on slimes. The cuter they are and the more intelligent, the better the rewards. So of course the intrepid hero will unalive as many as possible, acquire loli servants/slaves, and be as insipidly annoying while doing so. You'll have zero attachment to any of the characters in the anime, but it's still a way to pass the time. Rimuru is still having meetings about meetings and when to have more meetings, so I need something with a little action. I almost wish Rimuru would show up here and do some demon lord damage. But what we have is so-so animation ...

I'm at episode 7, and I don't think anything's gonna happen to save this aggressively mediocre show.

A terrible school-themed romcom mixed with a subpar sci-fi dungeon crawler. Add two dollar-store lolis, and there you go. One-note, unremarkable characters, low production value (mediocre animations and designs), bad music, and lack of originality or creativity - not even for the main characters. The romcom bits are extremely boring, so much so that I almost found myself skipping whole parts, while the dungeon exploration part falls short of passable.

Honestly, it'd have been a 6.5 if they just plucked out the contemporary school setting and went for a ...

LOLI LEVELING!
Where do I even start with this trainwreck of an anime? It's like the creators sat down and decided, 'Hey, let's take all the things that could make a series terrible and cram them into one show.' And what did they end up with? A show that's nothing but lolis and fan service. Forget about plot, character development, or any semblance of depth—this is pure, unfiltered trash.

The story, if you can even call it that, is an insult to narrative structure. It's a disjointed mess where every episode feels like an excuse to throw in another 'cute' scene or a poorly veiled attempt at ...

The catalyst to our favorite 2024 summer anime starts off with our MC going down into the dungeon eliminating slimes until he comes across a golden one, which then grants him an extremely strong Servant Loli card because, why the hell not. Hell, let's even give him another extremely powerful Loli card to top it all off.

After the catalyst, the show doesn't seem to get much better, While the dynamic between Kaito and his friends Hayato and Shinji is decent, I can't say the same for the dynamic between Katsuragi and Kaito. Kaito's presence in the dungeon appears to worry Katsuragi. This frequently occurs when ...

Another season, another dungeon-exploring anime, another basic and by-the-book plotline. But here's the catch: lolis. Who doesn't like lolis? Well, a lot of people actually, but if you happen to be into lolis, you're likely going to enjoy it because it features two lovely lolis with adorable voices that will brighten your heart.

The plot is just like your average dungeon-exploring anime: go to dungeon -> kill monsters -> sell your loot -> go home. Yeah, that's basically the whole plot. Anime with this kind of story usually relies on fanservice or comedy. In terms of comedy, it's not really a knee-slapper, and in terms of ...
