The characters are new for me as GL is an uncharted territory for me.
The artstyle was what drew me towards the anime and the settings such as school combined with church, city on the seaside, local trains and the nostalgic railway crossing. If you have seen makoto shinkai's and Ghibli movies vibe BUT with a acquired taste. you would find these same background settings but only one in each they have combined them all to get this romantic-melancholic nostalgic vibe.
The story is not about love is more of a unrequited love path
The characters didn't develop much and were all over the place. It's like the ... director was given so many good options, he couldn't decide and ultimately deciding to take all.
After watching it, none of characters really put feelings behind their choices, it was like watching them play a drama about a third party.
The choices and acting felt as if "if that's how it's supposed to go, so be it" none of them had a thought of their own

"Saraiya goyou" have you watched it yet?
They are very similar in the setting but have different plotlines
The biggest flaw was that it started too slow.
It took too long warming up and the final boss battle was too early.
To simplify
There are two types of antagonists- "The Final Boss" and his sub-bosses who last for a full arc and "The Forgotten" that only last for one episode and are forgotten. This type of anime usually have episodic plots involving "the forgotten" since they don't require flashback plotlines and continue in the present. But this anime used The forgotten as well as the final boss who lasted for ... only 2 episodes since episodes were spent on forgotten the main boss didn't get much screen time and since what happened to him there's no hope for a second season(tabun) IF ONLY it had gotten a full 24ep cour

Most of the animes with a group as main cast rely on past flashback arcs to build the base of a character they require a 2-cour(24-26ep) series to explain the plot holes as well as progressing the anime. For a standalone 12 episode anime the characters were really well built. None of the recurring cast had any plot holes. Even the father-in-law and wife characters were well built even though they were a part of story setup only.

The recurring antagonists that are not on a single episode basis were not defined well such as- The Chapel organisation, the nun,
Trade Union shishodou-san. They were poorly built Their pilot entries were great if given time(>12ep) they would have made great evils.

Have you watched those cliches from accidental walk-in on girl changing clothes to nip slips, onsen scenes covered by unknown fog/light and every other scenes that end with a shriek "Kyaaa! Pervert" and the MC gets a red handprint on his cheek. What if there were no shrieks, slaps or embarrassed tsunderes, Ping Pong Club is what you'll get.

This is Pure Ecchi and what real Ecchi looks like. Series like High school DxD and etc. force Fanservice scenes & categorise them as Ecchi. In this series Ecchi scenes come naturally.


Nudity and Sex scenes are throughout the series but not once has it been taken seriously(Rom-genre ... serious), for that reason alone it's way different than H+ and Fanservices. Take the old hag for instance...Seriously who makes gags like that; still gives me the giggles.

Watch it. It contains all the cliches and what-you-wanted outcomes

Great anime with good character setting
Plotline is good as only few animes try this road
As you would expect from a orignal the ending is sad I think

Story progress was the only flaw because
The anime started with introducing the villain female pirate, Shin and many others you would think that the battle will be 3 arcs or so for but their ends were far too disappointing.
From what I could think of as the reason for this is that they thought they could give the series a 24/26 episode cour but due to some unforeseen circumstances had to cut down the episodes because despite the abrupt ... endings of villains, the 12th episode seemed like the final episode for the series with no hope for season 2

The story setting did have enough room to cover a full 24ep cour

Characters of goblin slayer are kinda like Akame ga kill, a happy family before deadly killers consisting of a barbarian, an assassin, sniper, engineer, strategist, leader and leader's guard. So if this works then give it a try.

Art character design and movement were good but background lacked in depth. See, it's a pirate anime what backgrounds are most likely to come up- POVs of sea, sky, and treasure Island all of them are supposed to look like neverending or too deep which it didn't have. For an original anime to not focus on background that's new.

Best Sci fi anime of 2021
The only thing went wrong was that they weren't able to sort out the plotlines

Characters-
The MC's are Shigure and Vera. That was unexpected from their intro pov. Watching the first episode you would never expect that.
The relationship development aspect amongst the platoon was unexpectedly good as they were the only ones introduced.

Art-
The Art and fight scenes were awesome and the supernatural in it was another awesome sight to behold.

... Story-
The base apart from story development was solid.
The story as in the setting and backstory of the characters introduced wasn't cliched like in other animes, if given proper consideration it would have been the hype

What I can see in the series is the potential to grow. You know like how sometimes series are rebooted and bam! They are the most viewed

This was a mixed source i.e. Manga, PC/Mobile game so you could consider this to be an teaser of sort. In games, the setting is usually the most important thing for purchase so there you go. I have seen many game based animes similar in the skipping sense

There's nothing more misleading than this animes synopsis and profile image
To summarise,
The club is C-rated version of Oregairu's humanitarian club where they helped other people and got back favours (Here favours are mandatory, oregairu had a 'with the flow' kinda thing)

The personalities are original as in completely different from oregairu MC's but too much used in the anime world

Plotlines; I haven't read the light novel but In the anime it sure was forced. eg. The arcs are completely 19th century typical shounen manga ones but they had to force some dark themes(nsfw) and it's not that they added it to give a wider view on ... things, They just added it and left it to the viewers imagination.

Heard of calming music? Good. ever watched a calming video here it is. Read the synopsis properly before indulging. It definitely states what to expect.

Art style is Not exactly Good, Not Bad either but still it gives the vibe that 'Yes this fits perfectly' There's Makoto Shinkai and then there's Nouhisa Inoue, best people for aesthetics in the anime world.

Calm and Serenity are the moto of this OVA, which it fullfills down to a T. Definitely a must have for your phone gallery. Feeling under the weather, Stressed, Things becoming too bothersome lately? Lay back, wear earphones at a good volume and play this. ... You just plugged into Nirvana.

After watching this aesthetic piece, you're bound to say "This feels good". This was a 2007 work but the graphics still feel it's latest.

Mushishi, ACCA-13 now this I just feel like screaming "SUGOI"
These animes don't have a definite plotline so the character personality is a major deciding factor for people to watch or drop and this is where it exceeds your expectations. Wise, sly and bulkhead all three options are there for you
The MC is not as dumb as the poster make him appear so he too will not disappoint you

As for the plotlines it follows 1v1[1ep, 1plot, 1youkai] you won't feel like the stories being dragged at all. It's not Pokemon i.e. ghost and it's ability there's an intricate plot staged before ghost is introduced so you ... won't find that the plot has been half baked in order to focus on youkai.

Art style is next level. I mean this is 2003 anime last checked, the colours are symbiotic with the art style producing an eccentric and entrancing effect on the story

First of all Yeah the plot is slow, the first few episodes are kind of like those episodes added between dramatic animes having too much gore or too much losses you know like akame ga kill, akudama drive level of sorrow.

Well, after ending the anime when you look for synopsis you will find that it was never a gang war, just people roped in trying to live better lives with their circumstances. You will understand it if you watch it.

But when it gives it GIVES
The MC personality is just what you want from MCs there's no DxD, no powerless mc vibe that is ... common in animes with this kind of art style.

The Villains despite looking like H+, too are well likeable you might hate them once or twice but can't help feeling for them

This is for those who might think of dropping the series due to it's randomness and diverging plotline
That's was mind blowing. I am still speechless. The anime keeps on giving you hint to solve the mystery but is often neglected by the viewers as being part of the eccentric art style (like SHAFT studios).
The way the incongruity in storylines smoothly converge, leaves viewers in awe and wondering why didn't they notice the clues mixed in.
But have to admit that was the cringey kind of incest there.
Liked the part where the wires got replaced by flowers in the author's pov of how the scene appeared ... to him. That completely defined why he went through all the box making.
