Anime Relations: Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ♭: Koi to Junjou no Service-kai

Is it just me or is there anyone else who agrees on people should not be allowed to review a serie before it ends (or at least before halfway)?

It kinda disturbing how people ultimately believes that the first few episodes can give the full impression of a serie. Its ridiculous to see that there is a guide of how to get the serie full impression just with 1 episode (yeah, if you read it, feel free to reply). Its ok if someone has different opinion because everyone is different (I accept if for example someone hates my fav series as long as he/she can give an intelligent explanation about it), but its like judging a book by its cover or just by a few lines.

Just some examples how much a serie can change since the first ep: Ga-rei: Zero (1st 2 eps compared to the rest of the serie, anyone who saw it, knows what am I talking about)
Kyoukai senjou no horizon: The 1st 3 eps were massive info dump, but managing through it, the serie changes a lot.

And to make it worse, usually those people believes they are so smart. I will get it clear: You are not smart with judging something that you dont have full (ar at least a decent amount of) knowledge about it.

Anime Relations: Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai, Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen, Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka??, Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst, Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, Comet Lucifer

Negative surprise

Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai: I read the original, the adaptation is not the worst kind, but its slightly rushed, could have been much better. Negative surprise because its 1 of my favourite light novel/manga, and adapted by 1 of my favourite studio.

Runner up: Concrete Revolution (it could go with a longer arc, not just 1ep long random ones)

Worst serie

Valkyrie Drive: I didnt expected much from the start, but it went even lower, pointless ecchi and yuri does not make a serie right if it doesnt have anything else behind it. P.s.: And looked like Mamori size changed almost all the time...

Runner up: Concrete Revolution (see above)

Best continuation

GochiUsa: As continuation its the best, the quality and amount of jokes and cuteness didnt change, and it was succesfully able to give more role to Chino classmates, while the "heroines" was not pushed in the background.

Runner ups: Owari no Seraph, ShinMaou

Positive surprise

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry: It looks like a standard harem-action anime, but not. Even if it uses some of the usual tropes, but it breaks down some of them, setting an example with a tsundere heroine who is able to be honest, and a not dense mc, and straighforward romance, instead of the usual harem way, and with actually a brocon imouto who actually aware of the outside, and thinks about what the society would think about them.

Runner up: Comet Lucifer (not standing out but doing much better than expected)

Most improvement (since start)

Heavy Object: Except the introduction of the world and the objects in the 1st ep, there was absolutely nothing else appealing for me, it was a "candidate" for being dropped, but it really upped the tempo since the 2nd episode.

Runner up: Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai (The 1st ep was absolutely rushed, its better since that, but still not the best, see above)

Best serie

Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen: The way it shadows who are the real bad guys, and the real bad guys is splendid. We still get our cool moments, but the plot is also started to progress more with revealing more and more of another's intentions.

Runner up: Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry

Most hated character

Reima (Taimadou Gakuen): What he did to Usagi is unforgivable, even as an antagonist.

Runner ups: Toudou Kouichirou (Gakusen Toshi Asterisk)
Haunted (Taimadou Gakuen)

Best new character

Kurogane Shizuku (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry): She has some of my liked character attributes: Yandere, imouto, caring, mature thinking, cute, and see above.

Runner ups: Nikaidou Mari (Taimadou Gakuen), Toudou Kirin (Stay Strong!)
