What a... specific anime. Feels like a Toradora on drugs. Will note observations in a list, mostly negatives:
- Very slow plot with very low dynamic
- Mainly consists of constant character thoughts. Focus point swaps between characters, but they never stop thinking
- Nothing in a plot happens that is not directly connected to the love story of one of the characters. Show feels one-dimensional in this matter
- Weak, boring characters. Many are too similar, especially the boys, where 3 out of 4 main ones are assertive and constantly try to initiate sex (2 of them even says something like "I'm a boy, it's only natural of
...
me!"). And the characters who get in focus have a very similar way of thinking
- Super Mega Hexagon of love relations. Kinda spoiler: 1 loves 2 but 2 loves 3 so 1 attaches to 4 who loves 3 but 3 actually spends time with 2 and there is 5 who loves 1 and 6 who loves 4 and also 8 who spends time with 3 for a while but also some with 1... Isn't that cool? But actually: it feels pretty absurd that so many chars here can't just become a pair and keep denying each other while still ending up in bed occasionally... kinda dumb.
- Characters often think in circles and end up with dumb\horrible decisions. There is this philosophy principle (Occam's razor): The simplest explanation is usually the best one. Characters (Yasuraoka in particular) never seek simple approaches, they constantly think the hardest and wildest ideas or more like "choose with their own will the path of confusion and suffering".
- Higher point results in empty philosophy dramas that are hard to believe in and feel fake as a result
- Constant bed scenes, for a minimum of 1 in every episode. Some are sex scenes, some ended being "touching"\smooching scenes. Most are forced, not romantic, and otherwise pointless (characters view those as a distraction but still do most of those things with sad faces). Also, sex scenes skip core sequence and lack animation, so there is no hentai value here too)
- Unsatisfying as a romance. Most of the characters felt uninteresting or even disgusting and not worth rooting for (or shipping)). Noriko was the only one worth of some compassion, imo.
- General feeling of repetitiveness and pointlessness of what's happening in most episodes.
- Some non-exciting yet surprising breakthroughs in the end, because characters finally break from the typical loop there.
Yeah. I don't see good points to be fair, except that 'it could be worse'. Anime is unique (for me right now) with all those love hexagons and countless sex scenes, but ultimately not good. Would have dropped it around the episode 3 but I was watching with a friend. Later, I became attached to the intrigue: how the hell is this going to end. Without spoilers, imo: unsatisfying. But at least it has an actual end

I have quite some thoughts about this one, so let's write a traditional review! Yeah, 1 episode is still missing, but, very likely, it won't change anything much. Minor spoilers, nothing detailed.
Good points:
+ Fun, unpredictable jokes - mostly present in the first half of the series, though. I was laughing hard at times.
+ Somewhat unique main hero, who has some bad points
+ Interesting way of storytelling (an uncle telling stories of his past to his nephew in semi-random order)
Bad points:
- Unlogical, simplistic plot - unfortunately, at its core this anime remains a typical isekai. Main hero travels around the world, does mostly random episodic stuff
...
- fights monsters, helps people, etc. There are no prominent villains, no real challenge, nothing deep or smart in the story. This doesn't matter much when anime acts goofy and as a comedy... But later on it tries to invest into dramas, and those ended up being weak.
- Super powerful main hero - the anime seemingly is often claimed as an extraordinary one, but come on. Uncle never has any trouble with enemies, unless the plot wants to invest into one of the few other characters. So he is like a Onepunchman, who somehow gets disabled from time to time. Or like a Kirito, if you want. Again: absurd power sometimes works nicely with jokes, but it feels bad for dramas
- Harem with multiple girls and forced fanservice - this was present in almost every episode and took quite some time. Uncle was considered ugly, yet girl after girl fell after him? He is a nerd type gamer for life, yet he easily jumps on girls just to check wounds or make them massage and finds nothing wrong about it? Finally: he doesn't really feel or understand anything..? Fanservise was incredibly forced here: bad bad bad.
- Characters in 'real' world were exceptionally boring. They just sit there (like Big Yoshi). They stare. They judge, they scream, rarely - ask stupid questions. They become extremely predictable and uninteresting later.
Fun and expectations were high at the show's start, but stably drained down with time. The series is treading water: changes with time are minimal and unnoticeable and comedy transforming into drama made quite obvious many minuses, like simplicity of plot and almost everything. It feels like once again a story with a self-inserted author in a role of the main character. An ugly gamer focused only on games, then suddenly in another world he is an almighty mage-warrior, that girls hang themselves on like a hanger. At least he is somewhat funny, I must give that to him
Bonus: I also find it interesting of how many anime titles this 'unique' one reminds me off:
* Konosuba - obviously - for its humour and fanservice. That been said, Konosuba has deeper and brighter characters and heavily outclasses Ojisan, imo
* One Punch Man - for the powerful yet somewhat dumb main hero.
* Sakamoto-desu - for the unique main hero, jokes and, sadly, repetitive pattern - both those anime have better starting episodes than later ones.
* Sword Art Online \ Shield hero - later on Ojisan basically transforms into one of this.
* Dofus: The Treasures of Kerubim ('almost' an anime - french cartoon) - for the way of storytelling. In Dofus - old cat tells the stories of his youth and adventures, in Ojisan, well - an uncle does the same. Dofus, however, while being slightly more childish - was deeper and with much more likeable characters, so I would recommend it much more so than Ojisan.
All in all - Isekai Ojisan had an intriguing start and ~first half of the show where it was mostly a simple dumb yet fun comedy but falls heavily later, where it invests into cheap dramas, harem girls and fancervice. That's it.

A (rather) small review of all 3 seasons (because they are really cohesive parts of one story). My overall score is something like 9.5/10.
Pluses:
+ Outstanding and diverse characters. Ironically, I consider Mashiro Moritaka (the main main hero) as the worst one (7/10) for being quite predictable, stubborn, and boring. Almost all other characters are great: they have their strengths and weaknesses, play rather big roles in different plot points and rarely feel obsolete or forgettable. Some are very charismatic.
Best characters imo: Niizuma Eiji (who might have expected?), Hiramaru Kazuya, Yoshida Kouji
+ Interesting and generally pretty great plot for such a setting. Personally, I haven't expected
...
it to be this good. In other words: It's not very active anime, but still feels quite intense on events and almost never feels boring
+ Inspiring and motivating while being rather down-to-earth and realistic. Good morale, doesn't feel fake
+ Occasionally great comedy
Neutral:
± Not 100% realistic. Sometimes, if thinking critically, heroes may be observed as rather lucky (not only MHs) or maybe too smart. This invests in an interesting plot so I don't really care, also feels pretty excusable.
± Many shounen-style rival clashes in an anime that doesn't really have fights. This was a popular dynamo in many plot moments. Curious
± Art is mostly simple, but it doesn't feel bad. Also, occasionally there are pretty good shots which mostly involve into comedic aspect. Heh
Minuses:
- A few dramas felt dragging and weird to me, mostly including Mashiro and Azuki.
- In the first season Mashiro was an especially big donkey at times.
(those are the main reasons why I don't want to put Story as 10, and also lower my scores for 1st and 3rd season to 9)
Comparing to other anime I've seen: this one has one of the biggest amount of developed and interesting characters. Also, a rare one having nice 'Chaotic-good' characters.
In general: Charming, inspiring, interesting down-to-earth anime, with heavy investments in its characters, which makes it unique and pretty darn great.

Had sudden urge to write something about this...
At the moment of writing, I saw 95 anime titles, and can proudly say that this one is the worst I've seen yet. It surprises me, how high it is in ratings.
_Points:
Minuses:
- Horrible main character: MC is superpowerful and is not charismatic, smart or otherwise interesting in any way. Yet everybody around likes him. Yawn...
- Horrible secondary characters: empty shells with different appearances. Absolutely shallow, those feel like useless decorations. Also, almost everyone simply adores MC - extremely boring position.
- Unsurprisingly, horrible villains: they are simply evil, arrogant or crazy without any level of depth or any real
...
reason. Also, they never really posses any amount of threat to MC, so I don't know how they can be interesting in any way...
- Bad plot - MC tries to find adventures on his ass, while being ultra-powerful from the start. This is it, this is the plot. He isn't overcoming anything - no enemy posess real threat to him, nor becomes better or something.
- Stupid\slow dramas - most of the dramas were predictable, as none of their participants were smart or interesting... But maan, those were also a record-high sluggish!
- Extreme animation saving - the animation was too slow most of the time (even I noticed this as a flaw) and accompanied those stupid dramas.
- A snorefest - Sluggish, predictable and boring show in general - this is a result of previous points.
Pluses: actually none. This setting has potential (I mean - MC aka Lich in a castle with slaves - non-ordinary idea), but the anime didn't try to unfold it even the slightest. Setting also plays the role of simply a decoration, to this otherwise extremely generic isekai show.
I watched this with two friends, and we talked a lot along the way, so this was the only reason I haven't dropped this show somewhere after the first few episodes.
Summary: I am not sure why this show is so high in ratings. Maybe, it is being watched only by kids or something... If you consider yourself a thoughtful, or maybe deeply empathetic person - avoid this as a plague. This show is empty, or more precisely: exceptionally hollow.

This anime has nice art and music and some interesting moments here and there, but feels ultimately RUSHED and extremely underdeveloped(
No real spoilers here
Pluses:
+ Nice art
+ Nice music
+ Somewhat atmospheric, at moments
+ Some dramas felt nice (felt nice, yet still were set back by core show minuses)
+ Cute robot girl?
...
Neutral point:
± More serious than No Game No Life series
Minuses: (unleash the words!)
- EXTREMELY RUSHED - plot jumps forward with the speed of light, leaving no time for development of anything: characters relations, world, nations, war... Most things were either described with too few words or non described at all!
- Feels fake, shallow - again, so many BIG concepts are thrown around, only to be ignored. There is this big fantasy world, there are a lot of nations, there are gods, robots, there are weird devices with weird names... All of those were out of focus and, as such, haven't really felt serious.
- Too much talking - this is the kind of the show where heroes talk much more than do something, and I can't say that it was useful or deep or something.
- Characters could have more dimensions, also there could be more of them.
- Bad logic - at those rare moments where there were some details to understand what's happening - logic usually felt distant or non-present.
In the end, I couldn't really enjoy even the main focus of the anime - hew main heroes and their relations. Those relations also were either rushed, either relied on unexplained situations and characters.
For me, this anime falls in similar niche with Ergo Proxy, Madoka magica (film especially) and Furi Kuri - weird and with unique atmosphere, yet all of those I disliked for their vagueness. However, No Game No Life film beats pretty much all of them in this parameter (because of being EXTREMELY RUSHED, yep).
It's subnormal pace and non-explained world and races actually feels like manga propaganda,
All in all: No Game No Life Zero is rushed and vague anime to the point of extreme - with such a plot and a world that it should have better had 2 anime seasons with 24 series, or something. In a current format and with current focus - it just lacks depth and logic, so emotional and active moments doesn't work as a result. (that is, if you try thinking)
But... It has nice art, and was somewhat interesting and unique, so I will put it at 5. Yep.

How I like to write reviews about stuff that made me feel confused or disappointed...
Pluses:
+Great art
+Nice music
+Nice setting idea, quite unique to me (judges in the afterlife)
+Interesting (mostly at first, falls off later)
Neutral points:
+- Great, but misleading opening (with quite an opposite atmosphere to the show) - it was one of the reasons I watched this show and one of the reasons why it felt so disappointing(
...
Minuses:
- Big dramas without justifying enough essence to them (some felt forced, some felt rushed)
- SIMILAR: A lot of serious, big, pompous words without good meaning to them, often with vague meaning. The show throws beautiful words left and right, but what do they mean? Show pretends to be smart and deep, yet, after some thinking, feels quite shallow and underdeveloped on the inside.
- BIG holes in world setting and general logic. Example (Few SPOILERS): "Judges have no emotions" - constantly said phrase in the show... But they clearly HAVE emotions! Also, those judges don't really feel as judges, I felt them mostly as a random bunch of some young people who've got the power to play judges. They made primitive ill-effective judging structure, and they use it - without developing through the many years.
- Slow pacing at the beginning, becomes EXTREMELY slow in last ~3-5 episodes. Slow can be read as "boring" here.
- Non-developing main characters. Main woman was somewhat developed near the show's end, yet it still felt disappointing (she wasn't all that special, actually..)
- Vague in general. Many, many things are left to viewers interpretation... but again, it mostly feels as a lazy effort to hide logical holes and craft more drama.
The show's pluses and minuses remind me of "Violet Evergarden" a lot. Both are episodic, beautiful, both are slow and pompous and without an actually good essence, but they both try to bring good morale as a conclusion.
Yep, I recommend "Violet Evergarden" to those who liked "Death Parade" (and vise versa) and I discourage to watch to those who didn't
In short: Death Parade was an interesting watch at first, but has become incredibly more tiring and boring as the show went on - because of it episodic, slow, vague and non-developing nature. And I personally really hate it when the show has a strong feeling of "fake smartness"

Crazy anime, but it doesn't really stand up in any of the other aspects.
Pluses
+ Good soundtrack. Can't say it's amazing, but it is really good
+ Nice animation style. Most anime I see are kinda static, this one is not and has a lot of crazily dynamic scenes
+ Has few interesting moments and ideas, feels unique
Minuses
- I absolutely hated the main hero. He is childish, dumb, boring and I haven't felt any real character progression. The fact that his head acts a portal adds even more repugnance.
- Usually I like crazy chars, but Haruko here was like too low-dimensional: she run around doing crazy aggressive stuff
...
(non-important mostly), because of her enormous unexplained power nobody could possess a challenge to her, and, sometimes, she said to main hero smth like "you aren't mature" or "you are childish". That's kinda all her traits. Boring(
- Weak, unexplored, underdeveloped characters in general. And adult characters act as powerless clowns(
- Weak, slow, unconnected plot. Hated shounen-style fights that had no logic and happened in the end of probably every episode.
- Bad logic in general, doesn't seem to actually be deep. Seriously, I HOPED it is deep and that later episodes will explain things happening (because of some reviews) aaand nope, ending has left me confused. I read every character information on MAL and quite a bunch of other reviews and my conclusion haven't changed at all.
- Doesn't shine as a comedy. There are few good jokes, but most others just aren't good
So, in general, my thoughts:
It's a chaotic fantasy anime with space intruders that throws in some crazy stuff, scatters plot all over the place, tries to make some rapid character development moves (like when they forced the boy to deflect his first baseball - by creating a situation where the city would be destroyed otherwise lol)... and ultimately feels disappointing and rushed in most of it's aspects.
But watching with someone to talk along was somewhat interesting)

"Vague, the anime" (few micro spoilers are present, nothing critical)
I had quite high expectations from this anime and those weren't met, unfortunately
Good points:
+ Atmospheric and dark. This was the main reason I wanted to watch this show, and it wasn't very disappointing.
+ Great soundtrack - music worked especially well towards creating dark atmophere
+ Has few interesting characters (imo: Pino, Iggy, Hoody and, somewhat, Raul Creed)
+ Some plot twists and episodes were really nice
+ Robots were a nice part of the setting
...
Bad points:
- Extremely vague and confusing at times (mostly in the second half of the series). "Confusing for the sake of being confusing", as said another reviewer, this is a perfect summary quote. I want to see those moments as philosophical and smart, but I really don't feel that way... Be this show more precise and more dynamic - it would have only won from it
- Very slow at certain points. Often for no real reason. Problem linked with previous one
- Weak plot. It started out nicely but quickly transformed into some sort of weird swamp. Till the end I hoped that ending would be good and will explain many things, but no. It still was confusing and, without spoilers, pretty unsatisfying. "Deus ex machina" it was called and most solutions near there reminded magic
- Weak main characters. I didn't really like neither Vincent neither Rei. I didn't really understand their motives and didn't like how those were turned into a plot. Travelling who knows how many miles hoping to recover memories and ending up with THAT...
- "God aspect". Proxies were kind of superhumans and ordinary humans felt like ants in comparison. Of course, exceprt for the main heroes. I dislike this disbalance of powers...
In general:
Great setting wasn't actually utilized at its full potential because of non-dynamic characters and slow plot. I will put it at 7 in honour of Pino, Iggy and few interesting ideas.

Horimiya was promoted to me by friend. It had high rating and it also had Toradora, Lovely Complex and Kaguya-sama in recomendations. I really enjoyed those, so considered watching it with a high priority.
But Horimiya appeared to be very weak...
Minuses:
- Very predictable and boring (this is the main minus)
- Forced, "artificially upscaled" dramas
- Almost zero actually big, actually serious dramas
- Forced humor
- Weak, similar-acting characters. No extraordinary characters at all
- Feels artificial, programmed in general. It's like creators tried to create emotional show using cold logic only. Characters do what they must in order to progress the plot in current dramas (in a direct predictable
...
manner) and nothing ever happens in the background
- Probably, has the worst ending I have seen
Pluses:
...i really struggle to note anything here. Probably, the only plus in this case is that it really could be worse.
_In terms of art: it's base is nice, can't say I am very amazed by it, but really it was nice. HOWEVER joke pattern, which distorted character's faces (cames from Shoujo genre, if I'm not mistaken), almost always felt out of order there. It was so organic in "Lovely complex", but in "Horimiya" - it served like a blunt indicator "you should laugh here". Seriously, felt really cringe most of the time.
Similar could be said about situations, in which background became white and slowly moving colourful shade appeared around the character. Those were blunt drama indicators "you should cry here". I hate blunt indicators...
CHARACTERS
I will immediately point: i disliked how most of the characters had extremely similar traits for biggest part of the time:
polite, supporting, nice, friendly, oblivious, cheerful - those are the qualities that fit probably EVERY character of this show.
Hori (the main girl) - she felt like embodiment of the main author of the show. Smart (in terms of grades), practical girl, who has weird fetishes. She receives a perfect boyfriend who somehow tolerates her every whim (that's while her whims weren't really pleasant for him). It's ironic, that she probably was one of the most interesting characters of the show, because she ACTUALLY had flaws (but never worked towards overcoming any of them...)
Miya (the main boy) - "perfect boy", to the point that he just feels bland. Handsome in both "otaku" and especially "cool guy" form. He is always polite and almost always calm (he was angry few times in a show, unjustifiably in both). He has "tragic past", a lot of flashbacks describe it, yet I never understood why he was actually hated. Seems more like he did everything in order to be hated and deserved it, really. He also can fight pretty effectively and agressively (who knows why). All in all: Jack-of-all trades handsome, yet very boring guy
Yoshikawa (yellow-haired girl) - probably the nicest girl in the show. She is constantly afraid of harming others (I can understand her quite well...). Again, same problem: she never really develops, and all drama happening near her was abrupt or simply felt unfinished. I don't remember that she actually did anything in order to receive what she wanted - she just got lucky
Ishikawa (purple-haired boy) - a nice guy, felt definitely better than Miyamura. It was harder to predict things happening around him, but not because he was such an "unpredictable guy" - he was simply inconsistant in his decisions, in first half especially. He also was the quintessence of "general qualities" in this show (polite, supporting, cheerful, oblivious...)
Yanagi (president) - another polite boring guy. He made idiotic accusement somewhere at the beginning of the show, felt almost as the bad guy at that point, but no. Polite boring cheerful guy and i don't know what else to say.
Ayasaki (red haired girl) - similarly to the president, she felt as a "bad guy" at the start, because of her ignorance and somewhat selfish attitude. She quickly transformed into nice friendly supporting girl a bit later.
...other characters have pretty much same flaws.
They are not distinguished, they aren't really explored, they don't overcome any of their weaknesses (green-haired girl may be a little exception, she moved on after a failure).
Hori's dad may be the proud example of weird character: he has potentially interesting traits, which never get explored. He randomly appears after another episode and than just stays at Hori's home, serves like another friendly decoration and moves outside only to buy something at shop. Why, why is he like that, why he always sits at home, why wasn't he at home in the beginning? Either i missed something, either it really was just ignored.
_And some words about dramas. Creators constantly made mountains out of molehills: something that wasn't worth time was crafted into drama, which could than become quite big. Such artificial dramas weren't exciting to watch at often put me into confusion.
Example may be a situation, where Hori received information that Miya walked with another girl, while holding her hand. Miya explained everything to her properly YET she was angry and in despair for quite a big chunk of time (and that is when they still weren't actually a couple)
Another problem is that there was usually a bunch of dramas in one episode. That sometimes lead to a situation where even if a drama could have been nice - it just hadn't received enough time to end up being actually developed.
I paused this show a lot in order to digest\endure what was happening on screen. Later on i simply started to skip time instead (accurately)
SO, Horimiya is a boring, artificial show that was neither dramatic, neither funny. It has 13 episodes, which isn't actually a big number, but it felt really long anyway. I don't suggest watching this, especially if you are a person who likes to think a lot

Minuses
- Extremely overdramatic
- Mary Sue (almighty) main hero with plot armor
- Weak logic supports plot (many things happen precisely because plot and drama needs them, without logical cohesion)
- Predictable
- Quite slow and boring
- Main story wasn't long and wasn't developed enough
(this show mostly deals with "sidequests" - 1-episode stories and characters. As a result only main hero develops and many other characters quickly become forgotten)
Pluses
...
+ some dramas felt nice
+ great art
+ good music (though I hated ending)
_This show felt to me like stereotipical girlish drama - with perfect girl as main character, a lot of linearly nice-yet-boring characters and many inconsistant, cheap dramas. Not all of them were bad, though. But, in general...
It felt like every moment was planned to squeeze the most amount of drama as possible. Most of dialogue were unnecessary theatrical - slow, teary, putting a lot of value into every, even useless, word. Jokes felt forced. If something actually doesn't look very dramatic then it WILL lead to something that is 200% dramatic.
Show feels boring and fake as a result: characters look like bad actors, who simulate their actions. They doesn't feel truly alive.
_Violet is the main hero of the show and she deserves special overview.
The more show went on - the more powerful she felt.
1) Violet is strong, fast and can easily kill enemy squads in melee range. At first this power is somewhat understandable - she is "an emotionless weapon", grown at war. But later in a show she still has this power, even despite all her changes and the fact that she NEVER trained (on-screen), never did any physical exercise and looks like a fragile girl...
2) Violet is inconsistent in her emotions: her typical state is emotionless, where her face doesn't show any emotions at all. She always expects orders. However, this traits of hers change drastically through the show. She quickly became good writer, and then THE BEST writer in the show. And not just an ordinary one - she writes emotional letters! The girl, who used to be illiterate for long time, then only wrote reports and also killed people without second thought.
Violet combines traits of unemotional (aka war machine) and very emotional (aka crybaby) person. While she develops from first to second through the show - the transition isn't smooth or logical and feels pretty damn fast (while the show is slow, yeah)
3) Violet handles almost everything alone: dynamic, dangerous, emotional situations... everything. She puts most other characters aside, drawing all attention to herself... not cool
4) In some later situations, she is saved literally by huge plot armor
_I couldn't digest all that drama and pathos - this was one of the rare shows that i didn't want to continue watching. All those small stories that didn't feel realistic or matter much - invested in the main boringness.
Empty drama example, one of the later situations (SPOILER):
Major calls Violet a stupid weapon, who only needs orders and kills everyone (he is soldier commander, btw, does he want her to disobey orders?). Violet says she changed, she is not a weapon and don't wont to kill. Than she risks her life fighting a bunch of enemies, trying her best to save every one of them alive. She almost dies (in reality she actually would die in this situation 100%). Then, same major says in same manner: "you can't even kill to save yourself, you are idiot". I don't understant what he actually wants from her... But he generated dramatic moments twice, so it's good right?
All in all, this is a chill dramatic show that can affect some people (cough, #50 on rankings, cough, it definitely affects).
But if you like unpredictable plot twists, at least some smart action, deep, diverse and ALIVE characters or maybe humor and fun - i hadn't found anything out of those in this anime.
As for dramas - some felt nice, but there were so many actually redundant...
