It's a story about a girl learning the weight of responsibility and joy of reaping fruits of one's work.
Watching it is quite soothing, with an endearing protagonist and likeable cast.
If I had to point out its shortcomings, there isn't much to chew on regarding plot, and while climaxes are done well, they are a bit bland. I just watched them with a smile, but if they were utilised to their true potential I'd cry no doubt.

It's like a masterpiece painting, except it's done in crayons. Sure, it's nice, but feels a bit flat. Nonetheless, I can, with clear conscience, recommend it as a worthwhile show. ...

Audience surrogate protagonist that is always right, but misjudged by his peers for dumb reasons. Although all the girls like him.
Overwhelming, all-encompassing power that transforms all straits and crises meant to force this ambitionless protagonist forward into just minor chores that make him leave his house for 15 minutes.
A whole cast of literal cardboard cutout characters that don't matter and bring nothing to the story, and who have no story to tell of their own, and any philosophical/societal stances they take are ridiculously moronic if they differ from protagonists (read. from audiences) point of view.
Minimal worldbuilding of "medieval class-based society with magic", that can't decide ...

I honestly pity all people who watched this during airing period.
This show, including the second season, is all about throwing as many strong people, hidden conspiracies and tearjerker flashbacks into an episode and vigorously shake them around, and each episode ends with implied "some serious shit happening just next episode".
The only real conclusive action that happens throughout the entire show is episodes 23-24, and even then it's painfully wishy-washy. Feels like they had to cram 48 episodes worth of story into 24, and decided to cut all actual world building and interesting stuff for the sake of all characters tailing and staking each other ...

Preliminary (11/13 eps)
This is a story about a man wrestling between his inferiority towards his excellent party members, and said party's refusal to let him go. This heart gripping quest to understand their reason to almost forcibly keep him by themselves is...

some other story. What we have here is a protagonist that has no wit, no strength, no talent, no willpower, no convictions, no aspirations, but boy does he more than make up for it with plot armor. He will push responsibility onto others, happily mooch off his party members income while he sits on his ass doing nothing, but won't forget to grumble about how he ...

This show is a love story between Akane and Yamada. That's all.
If you see anything else on the screen it's just ornamental fluff, and the only thing that matters is how much Akane is in love with Yamada. Problem is, it's not their mad devotion to each other, but author who shamelessly and ruthlessly makes the story progress in a way that it would end with akane and yamada together.
Someone who tries to understand her hobbies? It's just a mixer mob guy who doesn't even get to have eyes. A girl crushing on him for 3 years, who finally finds the courage to confess? Nerd-glass ...

Re:Monster (Anime) add
It's an alright show for anime vacuum between seasons.
It suffers tremendously from TooMuchGood disease.
MC gains dozens of ridiculous abilities after eating any random dog and frog lying dead on the road.
MC evolves into some new amazing species every other episode.
MC gets new harem members every time he participates in any sort of fight, by hook or by crook.
MCs merry band of monster organisation grows so wide and tall that like half of secondary cast in later episodes is never really introduced, they just pop into existence and we know nothing about where tf they crawled out from and why do they fight with ...

It's painful.
I feel so empty.
every year or so, there will come out a show about shield/ armor user, and they will usually botch their sole hook.
"yea he's a disdained shield hero who can only use a shield. But actually all the shields he gets are just flat disc shaped bazookas and laser emitters, see?"
"that girl went all in with the defense stat because she doesn't want to feel painful when playing this VR game. But actually she will get a new ability every other episode that lets her use her full-stat defense as attack so she's basically invincible"

I really hoped with this show. MC properly ...

It's a time killer.
They attempted to cram transmigration, villainess redemption, doctor house, women empowerment, mary sue "wow that girl is amazing and can do everything!", unachievable love, political intrigue and reverse harem into 12 episodes, with predictable results.
It's not a bad story, but due to time constraints it's all very shallow and smudgy.

The general plot fails to interest me, with it being "MC makes a wager with king-sama so that she can escape the fate of marrying the bishounen, kind prince and become and empress; only that way she can be a doctor and save a lot of people". Watch out, bitch, how i'll smack ...

It's a very varied show, trying it's best to show something new, bizzare or interesting each time the plot progresses to the next point.
It's on a weird moral spectrum where no blood is spilt, but random people WILL die to drive home the point about how the reality is in a given location.
Each and every sub-plot is interesting to watch.
The overarching plot is sloppy like a deep-fried meme, and the villains in the show could easily be scrapped with no detriment to the storytelling.

That's what I'd like isekai shows to be like. Breathtaking landscapes, shocking ways of life locals lead, mind-boggling phenomena protagonists can only ...

This show is bad.
It's a love story between an angel that is being persecuted by her family and a nosebleed harem protagonist demon (who literally gets collared and forced to obey the angel in starting from episode 1). However, putting aside how love correlates to stockholm syndrome, romance isn't really done well. It's 8 episodes of dumb posturing and one-upping each other at acting cool and cute, very, VERY stretched out shots of every scene, and occasional "e-eeeeEEeh?! I... I AM in love with a demooon?!??" and "G-gh! she's actually very kind for an angel!".
And it would be fine. It's a challenge to write a ...
