Okay, here's a full recap of the movie:
Ninja man:
> enters movie
> stabs ogre
> doesn't elaborate
> leaves movie
Ogre: "Save them."
Princess: "Who could he be referring to? Anyway, now to use his friend's powers to save this one."
...
Ogre, seeing orc: "I am here to take revenge!"
Orc: "Understandable. Please kill me."
Orc's friends: "What the crap? Good thing we got here in time. Now to not question why he tried to commit suicide."
Ogre: "Our lake is poisoned by our mine. We have no cure."
Remiru: "Actually, someone's poisoning the lake."
[cures the lake]
"Now to go home and not consider why someone would poison the lake."
someone poisons the lake again]
Princess: "Oh no, I will sacrifice my life-power, instead of waiting for Remiru to arrive again"
shifty man: "Hello everyone, I am Shifty Man. I sure am shifty. Good thing nobody suspects shifty men in this kingdom"
Demon girl: "I gave a princess a magic crown, on the condition that if she dies, I get her body."
Demon guy: "Why?"
Demon girl: "For fun."
shifty man: "Eat this orb."
Ogre: "Okay."
shifty man: "Steal the princess and bring her to an abandoned temple."
Ogre: "Okay."
Remiru: "Oh no, this guy's gone super-evil! Weak ogre, go stop this superpowered friend of yours while I - the one who wins fights in 10 seconds - go chase this random mook."
Weak ogre: Does not question this choice in priorities
shifty man: "I'm going to ride this mine cart to safety!"
shifty man: "Oh wait I can just fly."
doctor: "Hello, remember me from earlier in the movie? Well I'm actually shifty man's assistant! Okay anyway I'm dead now."
Shifty man: "Help me, demon girl!"
Demon girl: "No way, I just sent you to watch, not to make the princess worse!"
Remiru: does not consider the doctor he just killed might not have been evil
Shifty man: "Aha, this fight has gone on for several minutes, but now watch as I become superpowered!"
Remiru: "Oh wait I remembered I have superpowers."
[fight lasts 10 seconds]
strong ogre: "I am killing everyone FOR NO REASON!"
ogre's brother: "Hello"
strong ogre: "I am still killing everyone FOR NO REASON!"
princess that strong ogre barely knows: "Hello"
strong ogre: "I suddenly remember that killing is bad."
ogre's brother: does not question this
Strong ogre: "Okay I have cured myself, but now I'm dying."
Remiru: "I can cure you."
Plot: "No you can't."
Strong ogre: [dies]
Princess: "I can cure you."
Strong ogre: [undies]
Princess: [dies]
Demon girl with less power than one of Remiru's underlings: "By the way, I can resurrect people from the dead."
Princess: [undies]
Remiru: does not question why his healing powers suck.
Or in summary:
start of movie princess: "I can cure you, but it'll involve killing your five friends, because I don't have power beyond that."
end of movie princess: "I have been critical injured and have trouble staying awake. So I only barely have enough power left to resurrect the dead"

Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku
(Anime)

As with all sitcoms, it depends heavily on your personal tastes. But for me?
But for me? This show is precisely what I've always wanted in an isekai: one that's designed after actual MMOs. Not the stories in an MMO, but the experience of actually playing one with other people. It's the usual Japanese-person-transported-to-MMO-like-setting, but instead of the usual premise of that the protagonist either being superpowered or having a particular superpower, the protag in Handyman is just... straight-up not good at fighting. No climactic magical boon, no 'minor' ability that turns out life-saving, just a consistently weak protag. Because he's not a fighter, he's a handyman. ... Jul 25, 2018
3D Kanojo: Real Girl

The first episodes were pretty great, because it featured social awkwardness in a more relatable and more rarely-seen way than the typical "Boy I sure do love shying away from awkward situations" way... but over time, it just turned into exactly that.
Which is to say: give it a go, but be prepared to drop it when you stop enjoying it, because it doesn't get better. Not even for the last episode, which was just... bleh, I didn't even realise it was the end of the series at the time. ...Oh, and the other qualities? Well the art is serviceable but obviously nothing impressive and I ... Jul 8, 2018
Hm, it would have been much easier to give a score for if this wasn't - quite literally - 3 entirely separate parts. Oh well, might as well break them down.
Part 1 is a 5 minute silent 3D animation. You know, the type you'd see at the start of a Pixar movie. One that's clearly just meant to be an animation demonstration rather than trying to tell a story or anything. It's... well, it's certainly on par with big-budget 3D films, but there really isn't anything noteworthy about it. Part 2 - the main bulk of the film - is 50 minutes long, and it's basically ... |
