Hey folks, this will be a review for Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi. I think we can keep this short and sweet.
Its just as bad of a hentai as an anime. That's it, if your horny watch a hentai. If your here for a dark hero story then go watch shield hero.
Extra if you happen to care:
Dark and gritty does not give you a free pass into the realm of goodness. Rape, rape, and some murder and drug abuse and more rape. Certainly very dark and shows the undesirable side of humanity and certainly would be at least plausible to happen if that world existed. However
...
there is no substance.
This guy wants revenge and through using his specific brand of magic which seems to do a lot of things that shouldn't be simply labeled healing is able to restart the world and regain his memories through a fairy spirit. Then he decides to do his life over again allowing terrible things to happen to him again with the goal of overcoming them faster and getting his revenge.
His revenge comes in the form of torture and rape. As revenge go its probably on the track to be well done I suppose. I can even understand the wish for revenge and see his train of though somewhat. Seems a waste to wipe her memory through healing again somehow though but who am I to judge his revenge. However after his initial revenge it becomes a traveling story where a new girl comes in every other episode and becomes another pleasure toy for the main character with practically no reason to exist. So you might say its a hentai and that you can enjoy it that way. However its not directed in a way to allow for it to be enjoyed in that light either. I mean sure it can tent some trousers but that's about the best it can do.
In total it fails at both things and simply is not worth the watch. The hate hype train was pointless as simply ignoring it probably would have relegated it to the bottom of the barrel where it would normally come to rest without stirring up outrage. I wonder why so many shows feel like the writer would rather be doing porn(looking at you goblin slayer - which at least to me was worth a watch once)

Hey folks, this will be a review for Isekai Maou. This show was a stinker to put plainly. It seems common to equate it to Overlord but that does Overlord such a disservice. I'm going to rail on this show pretty hard but overall if you want a fantasy story similar to Overlord to scratch that itch then its worth a watch. As a standalone show however it falls short in so many ways.
The story starts off with a gamer shut in transported to this new world. He keeps the items he had in the game, one item is a ring of spell reflection. This
...
earns him the busty elf and small chested cat girl as his slaves. Now he must learn about the world, carefully integrate into society, and earn his place. Or so you would think. He just walks into town, shouting at people that he is the demon lord and internally agonizing over everything for the majority of the show.
The world never really gets built we are just told of things as they become important until they are no longer important. It's like its rushed or was written in a bulleted list format then transformed into an anime. We don't get time to know anything which is weird because there are some major events that happen in this anime and none of it is ever discussed or brought up again.
I'm not really sure I liked the MC. He is incredibly strong, takes on the role of a demon lord, yet acts like a child the entire time. Admittedly they explain this by saying he never was able to fit into society but after the third kidnapping incident I was becoming a little annoyed with his writing. His spells really only get cast once, leaving the later drama feeling stupid as the viewers know the powers he has.
The side characters are only there for the fan service. Occasionally getting naked, or fingered(I'm serious), or simply watching from the sidelines shouting encouragement. I like fan service and ecchi scenes, however it is boring to watch in this show.
The art was rather tame, looks like anime from a few years ago. The fight scenes are rather short and overwhelming in color so they didn't need to go all out on those either.
Overall I enjoyed the show at first but it became more and more painful to watch as the show went on. I know very little about the characters, their goals, the world, or even the powers. It was highly underwhelming all around.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Hinamatsuri. This show is a fun watch. The synopsis given and the reviews will lead you to believe it is funnier than it is, perhaps a little more crazy too. However as good as the show is, its rather tame on the comedy, and really boils down into the unlikely parent taking care of the unlikely child shows.
The story starts off like the synopsis says. Nitta is hit on the head by a strange girl in a casket who has strange powers. She then strong arms him into staying in his apartment and buying her food and
...
and many expensive things. However after the first episode after they get these two characters together they no longer care about this power or the yakuza for that matter.
The girl is named Hina and she basically becomes Nitta's child from that point on. They live together, and aside from maybe an episode or two have very little interaction.
(Light Spoilers)
A large portion of the show is dedicated to Anzu, a supporting character and she is easily the best written part of this show. Unlike Hina she has no one to take care of her and becomes homeless when she is unable to return where she came from. The show really goes into her struggles and her character and compares her to Hina a few times. It's not particularly funny, but it is great.
Overall the anime is great. A catchy soundtrack, nice art, great characters. The only flaw I had with it was false advertisement. The synopsis doesn't really cover what the show is about. Labeling it a comedy also feels like a stretch though I know different people will find different things funny. Its a fun show, a bit light on the main character interaction but has great supporting characters to hold their flimsy story together.
TLDR: Not really as funny as I hoped, synopsis is a bit of a misdirection. Still great, and worth a watch.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Tsurezure Children. TC takes the romantic comedy angle and puts a twist in it. Its interesting but not without flaws.
There isn't a standard story, rather there is a formula to the episodes. The first several episodes revolve around characters and their confessions to their person of interest. The later episodes revolve around couples still trying to make the confessions happen, and couples trying to figure out how to be couples.
Honestly the show starts off ok. Each character and scene has a touch of real to it, and it isn't often you get shows where a relationship is
...
formed off the bat. The reason many shows don't, is because they want the tension and time to get to know the characters. You don't get the same tension in this show, nor do you have time to get to know or care about the characters.
Each episode is basically the same after the confessions where the couples will agonize over their first kiss or whether or not to hold hands. As a shy guy myself I totally understand these problems. However they are given the liberty of exploring any and all problems that can arise in relationships, yet all we get is hand holding and kissing problems?
Regardless the show was an enjoyable watch. Anyone who likes Rom Com anime will like this show. There are some really good moments with each couple and it was interesting to watch them fumble around. I wish they would have limited the characters and expanded on each one a bit more. Otherwise I recommend it.
TLDR: Fun and short. Could have had a bit more focus.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Blend S. This show can be simplified down to being a poor mans Working!!.
The story revolves around Maika who is a girl with some troubles. She is unable to find a job because of her cold eyes and smile. However one day a manager for a cafe gives her a job. This cafe is basically a maid cafe but each female member of the staff role plays a personality. Maika is assigned the sadistic character trait because she has that cold look in her eyes.
The characters were fun to watch. The gap between their real personality and
...
their work personality was sizable and seeing them go between them was fun. However everything is rather surface level. They take a few episodes to try and develop characters but it wasn't done very well.
Overall I enjoyed the show. It was cute, funny and just a relaxing show in general. However its not really great in any department. Characters are flat, and only fun because of their work personalities. At first I thought the show would be more focused on that side of things, but they wind up going for the "will these two characters get together" story line. This really degrades the show as a whole, because they don't focus on the characters enough for you to care about them, and it kills of the simplistic comedy of the maid cafe. It winds up being forgettable.
TLDR: Poor mans Working!!. Kinda cute, kinda funny, but just meh by the end.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Net-juu no Susume. Honestly it wasn't bad, but wasn't great.
The story revolves around Moriko and Yuuta. Moriko was a business woman who decided to quit her job and become a NEET. While living the stay at home life she discovers a new mmo as the one she used to play is no longer available. Yuuta is a business man who works and finds time to play the same mmo as Moriko.
Most of the episodes revolve around them talking in the mmo world with their gender reversed characters. When they are not on the game talking
...
they are coincidentally outside bumping into each other and spinning this fake feeling string of fate story line.
The main characters have some good moments, but both of them feel a bit too tailored for this story. Moriko is super self conscious and apologetic all the time. She only ever shines in the mmo world. This is a cool plot point but after awhile its just repetition. It goes from feeling genuine to "how can we possibly drag this encounter out so nothing comes from it". Yuuta is the insanely loyal and thoughtful other half of the story. Sometimes he can be incredibly forward and brave, then other times falter and turn the confession moment into something else.
Overall it was a fun watch, but it becomes a bit taxing as the episodes continue. They are really heavy handed with the "will they discover each other" story line. It takes far too long to progress as is, but they take steps to elongate this silly plot. They decide to add in some side characters which both help and hinder the main characters discovering one another. Add this to the already timid characters and an anime that could have wrapped up in 5 episodes lasts 10.
TLDR: Fun watch, but they go out of their way to stretch the story thin.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara. In short, this anime isn't very good.
The background info you need is a business woman named Chisato and a bartender named Sora are married. Each episode has a starting scene but it always ends up the same. Wife comes home from work, is handed a drink of some kind. She becomes drunk which makes her more bubbly and bright as a character.
As for enjoyment, its really lacking. I don't think this is some bad example for children like some others. However it is boring, repetitive, and trying too hard to be
...
cute. Each episode is the exact same with a new drink. Wife comes home and has her glasses on and hair pulled back. Drinks the drink of the day and then takes her glasses off, lets her hair down and pulls a cute face. For some reason they also list out some of the ingredients for the drink as if we will make it at home, or care for that information.
I think they were trying to capture the essence Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken, which is actually a good show imo.
TLDR: Boring and repetitive. Not even worth the 3 minutes to see a single episode.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Miira no Kaikata. Have you ever heard someone say something was so sweet that it gave them diabetes? Well this show might actually be sweet enough to do that.
The story revolves around a group of kids from high school who have this ability to see special creatures. Each character has their own creature that they take care of and they spend their days living their lives with them.
The art was fitting and the soundtrack and VA was great.
The characters are a great part of the show. Each one has their own personality but they have a
...
good group dynamic and don't feel like they are overshadowed by another. To add on to that, they each are joined by a creature which has their own personality.
However with all that being said this show isn't about the story, the characters, or anything else really. Its just to enjoy. The show is remarkably cute. I've never been a huge fan of shows that straight up aim for the "aww effect" but this one seems well done. The creatures feel real and don't feel like mascots thrown at you to sell something. The show is slow paced and is gentle to watch, but doesn't become boring or tedious. They try to spice up the ending side of the show which was unnecessary. The world building also has some questionable elements, but again it doesn't matter.
If you like shows with plots, or some manner of reasoning to their actions this isn't for you. However if you want something to relax and let yourself go into this is a great show.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Dagashi Kashi 2. Much better than season 1 in many ways, including making you want more.
The story picks up from season one with the Dagashi shop. However they make it much easier to watch than the first season. Each episode is only 12 minutes long and the Dagashi lessons are much more concise. It was much nicer to have a fun show to watch with the occasional Dagashi fun fact moment than sit for 20 minutes in a Dagashi classroom.
The art was pretty as usual, though there was less of the town and more of the shop.
...
The music was enjoyable and I didn't feel compelled to skip the into like I normally do.
The characters are all the same, but we get less time with them. This season focused more heavily on Hotaru and Kokonotsu. Eventually sparking some drama, which honestly didn't feel necessary. A couple of new characters join the fun and have about an episode or two of progress. However with this new 12 minute an episode formula it no longer feels like we get to know anyone.
Dagashi Kashi 2 was a much more pleasant watch than the first. The first season I kept waiting on the lessons on Dagashi to be turned into humor and it never did. The flow of the show was slow and ultimately boring. This season however was quick and comedic. You get some moments in the show to really feel like they brought together the Dagashi moments and the story moments to create scenarios we can all enjoy. Part of me misses the full length episodes because it was enjoyable to spend time with the cast. Otherwise the show was fun to watch and would recommend it to people who may not have like the first season.
TLDR: Better than season 1 for the most part.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Shokugeki no Souma: San no Sara. This season was a mix of bad and good. We return to wondering whats going to happen, and being drawn into the events more personally. However it comes at the cost of the story and art being sub par.
The story of Shokugeki no Souma was never a intricate part to enjoying the series imo. That being said this season makes it seem rather silly, and draws you out of the experience just with its ridiculousness. The first half of the show focuses on the moon festival, which wasn't bad. However
...
the second half we are introduced to a new villain who begins to change the show completely.
Unlike other shounen shows there is no violence, no death, no real physical ramifications for the characters. The first season toyed with the idea that losing meant the end of your cooking career but otherwise the world works like it does today. This villain somehow gains far more control over things than seems reasonable with the knowledge that no real harm, physical, or financial would come to the students or teachers. Cant really describe it without spoilers but this is easily the worst part of this season and really felt unnecessary.
The art also took a hit in general. Characters and scenes poorly done, and easily noticeable to someone who typically doesn't notice these things. The first season was beautiful. This season however was watchable but disappointing.
The characters remain mostly the same. Everyone is enjoyable and has grown a bit. We are also introduced to a new set of characters who are the new bad guys of the show, and are exceptional chefs.
Overall I enjoyed this season. Maybe it sounds weird after rating the story and art poorly, but it didn't hit what the show was at its core. The story though stupid and unnecessary successfully gives us new challenges and reasons to be invested in the cooking again. This season was truly action packed. The people who didn't like the slow pacing during the autumn selections will probably have a better time watching this season. I enjoyed the slower more intricate pacing of season 1, but I still really enjoyed watching this season as well. Fan service has also been toned down. There were maybe three episodes with it, but unlike the first season it felt out of place and silly.
I'm still looking forward to the next season. I do hope they take the time to make the art extraordinary like they did in the past.
TLDR: Stupid story, and lower quality art. However just as enjoyable as the rest of the series. No reason to not watch it if you have seen the previous seasons. If you haven't then I still highly recommend the show in general.
