chungzic said: Okay finale, man the CG is ewww... First half definitely more interesting than second half, but still watchable. 6/10 Fine show. It was B-movie CGI just like Pandemonium wanted it. At least I think it that way. :D |
 |
| When Manon's mother mentioned that Manon had an older sister, I thought of Pandemonium but I couldn't make sense of it time-wise. Now that they confirmed it, I guess the time they are transported to in that world is not necessarily linear. Poor family by the way, ending up like that in that world... at least Pan revived Manon at the end. Anyway, aside from Momo being overly affectionate with Menou (I liked her interactions with Ashuna a lot more) and non-future Akari being overly bubbly with Menou, everything else was great, especially the worldbuilding. Like, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this show and how much I want to know how it continues so, hoping it gets a second season. |
| pretty standard final boss fight with its CGI glory, but it was pretty self aware so I cant really complain. Pandaemonium is a crazy villain, I sure hope we will see her and Manon again. Talking about crazy, that after credit scene. I was spoiled about this here but still, really makes me want to see more! This show has a refreshing take on the isekai setting anyway and not just because of the yuribait. I was hoping for Ashuna to visit Momo in the hospital but no, not even a scene with them. Sad day. Anyway this was pretty nice, its good overall but has some really great elements. Sometimes the animation quality is also great and atleast the CGI isnt rendered at half the fps like some shows do for whatever reason. All in all a solid show with much storytelling potential. I hope we get a second season because I doubt I will find translated LNs for this and honestly I doubt I would read them. Much of the appeal comes from the voice acting and lively animation. Hidden gem this season for sure, Im sad this will be the last episode. 7/10 but with how low the score is I will give it an 8. PS: Nevermind the english translations for the LNs actually exists and book 5 comes out in september, here we go! I fully expected this to take a year minimum to even get licensed before we even see any official TL like back with Re Zero |

| Flare has killed Menou that many times, bloody hell. I guess she's the antagonist of the series. I wonder how does she do it though. I think she's do it for the thrill of it judging by her facial expression. The finish to Pandemonium was a little underwhelming, but she's alive, so it can be forgiven. The twist that she's Manon's sister, was shocking but fitted well. Not a perfect series, has flaws left and center, but I enjoyed it. The atmosphere was refreshing for me, I liked Akari's devious ways, the odd story that didn't shy away of being "edgy and loving it". Pace was better in my view, and the animation. The battles were lackluster though. 7/10 |

dylpickles said: Aluminum_ said: Akari's like Yuusuke from YYH lmao. Excluding the light yuri factor not to make myself biased, I'd say this has a great potential for its world building and concept. Tho it's really intriguing to know what happens next so a sequel would be good since I''m not really fond of reading LNs. My speculation is the same as Lab_Rat's down here. I think for the sole purpose of making Akari use her Pure Concept and turn her into a human error once overused. Which would seem like Flare is the true villain. Okay that’s really interesting. So you think Flare is actually the antagonist who wants to turn Akari into an error. i wonder why this would be the case but would be intrigued to find out. Most importantly I wanted to make sure I wasn’t supposed to steady know the answer, and that it is indeed under speculation 😂 Worry not, I don't read its source material. Tho I'm quite intrigued just as you and makes me want to try to read it. |

whitebagelxyz said: Always love a show that has fairly deep lore and a lot of "isekai world history" and backstories to uncover as the story progress. This show definitely surprised me a bit in terms of its depth; I thought it was gonna be a pretty shallow yuri isekai, but turns out to be a pretty solid isekai. Hope there are more seasons to come. wait until they dive into the church's backstories my #1 favorite in the whole series so far hopefully we're gonna get season 2 one day |
| will wait for S2...seems like there's a lot missing even if i'm an anime only viewer... and also that epilogue, that sparks for more continuation! Flare being the Antagonist? 4/5. 7/10. |
 |
| So, i guess Menou (or maybe Flare) was an otherworlder as well, possibly brainwashed... I was hoping that Momo and Ashuna would openly join the main duo in the next journey, still not too late though. Let's see if we get a sequel anytime soon... |

Let's see if we get a sequel anytime soon... menou and flare dont possess any pure concept, so no they are not otherworlders but each of em has a scripture thats comparable (in power) to pure concept theyre not brainwashed either |
| And so Pandemonium is stopped...for now...and Akari and Menou continue their quest to kill Akari, all the while presumable big bad Flare stalks them. Woof, where to begin....well, this series had quite the controversial opening episode didn't it? I avoided getting involved in all the hullabaloo surrounding it as it came out, but yes, I was turned off by it as well. It came across as smug. The impression I got was "Heh, see, we killed off the self-insert isekai protagonist in the first episode! We're different! Aren't we so cool subverting expectations like that? Huh? HUH?" Bleh. A show shouldn't feel smug in its first episode to me, it's not a great look. So why, you might ask, didn't I drop it right then and there? Well in general I don't like dropping things that early, though I have before. Plus I'm something of a loner with no life and time to kill. So I figured I'd watch the rest and see how it went and it went...rather boringly. Beneath the grimdark edginess the show was going for with its violence, tone, and honestly even premise, it was just kinda...there. Only one actually cool character, Princess Ashuna, a boring story, and nothing really memorable. I suppose given the premise I should have expected I'd think that so perhaps I should have known better, known this wasn't gonna be for me, and not bothered with it in the first place. But I did, I watched the whole thing. And I can safely say through 2 seasons, Winter and Spring, this was the worst show I've watched in 2022 so far. Yes, even worse than the bland and generic self-insert isekai shows I'm also watching. At least they aren't smug. 5/10, will not watch more if it comes. |
| I have mixed feelings about this anime. For once, the plot is interesting, with lots of mystery and potential. You have several questions in need of answers that drives you to want to know more. On the other hand, the execution is absolutely mediocre. No episode is REALLY fun to watch, there are no memorable fights, the CGI is very bad, Menou is a uber cliche edgy protagonist, Akari is the typical big-breasted airhead and the problems they face have no urgency feeling because the main group is composed of two characters and you know none of them will die and Akari can simply go back in time to revive and fix whatever it happens. I watched because the plot has a lot of potential. I stayed to see some answers. But they really need to improve the overall presentation and execution quality. 6/10, mostly for the plot. |

| @James_Marsh I also like future akari a lot  I wonder how human error akari would look like |
| Quite interesting anime. I hope to see more Pandemonium, the show is more fun with her. I wonder if they will have next season? People who said Akari is just big breasted airhead clearly only see her breast the entire show lol. |
| Had ups and downs. CG honestly wasn't that bad, also alternated with 2d when the entire centipede wasn't in frame. Weird one, but char designs (except Akari) were kinda fresh. Menou, Momo, especially Ashuna had some pretty neat designs. Love how they outright talked about clothing that fit body lines early on, def straight from the authors heart lmfao. Villains felt pretty weak. Old lady bishop "betrayal" didn't even feel like a betrayal due to how little screentime and build-up (on and off screen) she got beforehand. Aside from telling us over and over that human errors, big, bad, scary kinda poor build-up for Pandemonium. Also completely unexpected and weird we're suddenly getting a world boss as the 2nd villain. Also couldn't take her self mutilation seriously cause of it's portrayal, sfx, and her squeaky voice. Her char was great tho. Flare being revealed as the final villain was interesting, but could have been better imo, if she was built up more. Didn't even seem like she was any good of a mentor from the flashbacks tbh. "Fights" or more like Menou's knife action had some pretty nice sakuga for a seasonal iseka, but short asf. Music pretty forgettable though. Can't remember a single ost. Honestly, for a complicated adventure story with time, could have benefitted a lot from some good music. Like a 7.5 / 10. |
 |
| This show has an interesting lore, and some top tier yuri headpat and lewd handholding. But fights kinda felt short. (Especially the centipede). Its not like the fights had something wrong or missing, I just didn't feel the hype. Inorichi said: Music pretty forgettable though. Can't remember a single ost. Honestly, for a complicated adventure story with time, could have benefitted a lot from some good music. Yeah I just finished watching it, and I already forgot the entire ost. But sound effects are pretty memorable, the spell invocation sfx. |

I can see you having nihilistic tendency there Sense of urgency, is when you have a show and you actually feel that the characters are on a threat. That is absolutely NOT required for a show to work, but considering the little this show has gave me as enjoyement, i believe that a sense of urgency, of fear, would be a cool thing to have. The fights have no urgency, you don't worry about the characters fates because you know everything can simply be fixed. As i said, that is not required for a show to work (Overlord doesn't have that, but has a ton of other elements to work on), but when the show doesn't have substance, it is just a bare-bones journey adventure with "Lost" like mysteries to solve... |
| i hope there will be a second season |
Oneill said: So they're off (once again) to the island of salt. But from what Pandemonium told Akari, Menou has to die. Basically it's written in the timeline. So Akari actually has to change the timeline itself, to change Menou's fate. But Akari is now aware of the Archive thingy. This story gives me a lot of Warrior Within vibes. Since we're watching this version of the events, we can assume that Akari will succeed, but I wonder what will be consequences of this. Will we get a Dahaka like beast to chase Akari and Menou? To make her meet her fate? Probably not, but thinking about it that way is fun. On the other hand, resetting the timeline countless times also gives me vibes of the Doctor Who episode "Heaven sent". Still, Akari's journey is one about saving Menou. If I were to quote the old man from Warrior Withing: Your journey will not end well. You cannot change your fate. No man can. no menou doesnt have to die, she's not fated to die either. there are two reasons why she always ends up dying 1. she always fails to do her job, to kill akari (the lost one) 2. flare wants akari to rewind time so she always kills menou do you remember? the more the lost ones use their power, the faster the process of em turning into major human errors so flare wants to turn akari into a major human error, by forcing her to rewind time again, again and again why? that would be a huge spoiler |
Oneill said: Still, Akari's journey is one about saving Menou. If I were to quote the old man from Warrior Withing: Your journey will not end well. You cannot change your fate. No man can. Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. There is a reason we're seeing this loop and not one of the previous. And it's a long loop, not one of the short Groundhog Day/Endless Eight/Re:Zero/Summertime Render ones where it's easy enough (and even necessary) to show multiple loops. Surely this will be the one to end things, even if the loops so far have also brought additional dangers in the form of escaped Human Error fragments into it. |

| that was preeetty fuckin cool !!! i really hope this gets a 2nd season bc i suck at reading novels |

I've just meant that in a way it feels like Menou has her fate written. I understand that Flare somehow has access to the Astral Archive, which is outside Akari's time resettings. But just the story has these Warrior Within vibes. all executioners, including flare's predecessors have access to the astral archive why? that would be a huge spoiler too the executioners have been around for a thousand of years why doesnt menou have it, she's still an apprentice as well as momo theyre still noob |
| Regular 7/10 I preferred the secondary characters to the main ones. |
Bear_from_cave said: I feel in similar way, I'd rate it 7-7.5, but with the bullshit I saw with people spamming hate on this because "lesbians murdering male MC" , when Overlord has "good villains" doing horrible torture and genocide to innocents, I gave it 9/10. I can revise it down if the score ever gets in normal range. I kind of regret now that "Cheat slayer" (Isekai MC killer) manga of Kakegurui author got axed after 1 chapter due to copyright infringement. lol cheat slayer takes plagiarism to another level the main cast of cheat slayer Kirito (Sword Art Online) Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord) Aletta (Isekai Shokudo) Rimuru Tempest (Tensura) Tanya Degurechaff (Youjo Senki) Katarina Claes (Hamefura) Aqua (Konosuba) Shin Walford (Kenja no Mago) Subaru Natsuki (Re:Zero) @Sekirodiealotoft |
| good show all things considered.. Pandemonium was undoubtedly one of the better last boss villain with the creepy VA and her shape.. I am interested in the world but not interested enuf to go read the source.. |
| Last time I watch something because of people defending the anime from haters. It was boring, Mennou mostly. |
| Keep scrolling |
| It was a good show. At this point I feel there's too many lines to follow, like Flare's reason to kill Menou, AkarixMenou living in Japan before or something like that, the 4 big bosses and probably something about Menou, like being a vessel or something. |

| Pretty fitting stopping point for the 1st season but there are still so many mysterious elements, especially with all this teasing at this point, but overall for a isekai it sure surprised me for how original it could get as long with a plot that really tries to be diverse and to show multiple straightforward elements, a pleasant surprise despite still having some flaws. 7/10 |
 |
| Decent show but I didn't really get too invested in the characters. Still had its cool and interesting moments like when Pandemonium kid first introduced herself. |
 |
| This last episode really cool and I love the story! Can't wait for the next season since there are still 3 others of Human Error. |
