Urasekai Picnic
English: Otherside Picnic

Episodes Watched: 1/12
Date Dropped: 6/16/21

Why I Watched:
The concept seemed interesting and I will always enjoy isekai or fantasy content.

Why I Dropped:
The 3DCGI was too distracting. It kept unnecessarily switching back and forth between normal animation to poorly done CGI. Overall, the first episode left such a bad taste that I do not want to continue with this anime.

Hayate no Gaotoku
English: Hayate the Combat Butler

Episodes Watched: 6/52
Date Dropped: 10/7/19

Why I Watched:
I thought it would be an interesting show and it was on my list for awhile.

Why I Dropped:
The humor got old fast and I didn't feel like watching 52 episodes to see if it improves.



I might return to this anime eventually.

Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-tachi e
English: To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts

Episodes Watched: 5/12
Date Dropped: 9/29/19

Why I watched:
The story concept seemed interesting and I was hoping to see a good fantasy-military anime involving firearms. I had high hopes for this anime to show me good action-orientated combat as well.

Why I dropped:
Background story overshadowed everything, most of the episodes are shown telling what happened rather than showing what happened as it happens. There's also almost no followup to the events that take place, as one event is ended the characters are suddenly at a new location in the middle of another event. Each episode is centered around a new location and new enemy and each one is as forgettable as the last. The fight scenes were very anti-climatic and over too quick. The show was trying to be a very serious story driven epic but ended up with boring characters with generic personalities and little plot development.
