TLDR: Sometimes you want a feel-good brain-dead anime, and this could be it but don't plan on binge watching it.
What we have here is the glorification of brute force and ignorance. The MC, Mash, is as strong as an ox and as dumb as one too. All plot and humour are centred around that. It's fun in small doses but gets repetitive really fast. Moments of tension and drama fall flat on their face as a result. The supporting characters are cringe at best, and annoying at worst. It's always some super strong wizard being evil, then getting a knuckle sandwich. The only consistent source
...
of entertainment is the MC's obsession with cream puffs. I wonder if there is a hidden message in that. To the surprise of nobody, a beach episode was crowbarred in. Is life in Japan that hard, that visiting the beach and smashing a watermelon a required event in every anime? Who knows. This anime takes inspiration from a certain Cape Baldy but cuts out everything interesting about it. Take that for what it's worth.
Animation: fine
Sound: fine
Voice acting: fine

TLDR: They made a lesser version of "A certain Magical Index"
It is with great regret that I say; I have watched every bit of this series to date. Why regret? Because I've watched a better version of it. Our MC, Touma...I mean Tatsuya, attends the first magic high school. His sister, who has incestuous thoughts about him, is a top-class magic user, while he sucks at it, and so is deemed an irregular. (Who else do I know that sucks at magic yet attends a magic school, never mind, it will come back to me.) Except for when the plot calls for magic, and
...
then, all of a sudden, he is the most powerful Jedi there ever was. He is smart, good at hand-to-hand combat, can negate other spell casters, reverse all injuries even if someone is dead, disassembles your weapons remotely, has just about all the girls in the school in heat (did I mention his sister might want to have his children?) and can cast magic! WTF. That right there is my whole problem. He is sold as an underdog but is actually very over-powered. So, there is no struggle, development or encouragement to get invested. The show is simply: enemies show up with an evil plot and then Tatsuya reverse-no-jitsu them, then repeat. Interleave that, with girls fawning over him and we have a very formulaic and uninteresting show. There is no depth, mystery or drama to speak of.
The show is not a total loss. There is some semblance to a magic system, some fights are creative, and the story doesn't hunker down for too long. The voice acting is good enough, so that it doesn't distract you from what is going on and the animation is decent. We really didn't need to have him see his sister in panties and a bra that often though. There is plenty a waifu for those who are into the best cartoon girl thing. So, there is something for most anime consumers to take in, albeit with a good serving of cringe. This show isn't the worst thing you can watch but there are certainly better.

TLDR: The One Punch Man of isekai
Honestly, that's all there is to know. The MC is an apathetic entity known as the Alpha Omega. He can will you to death. Some flashbacks to his origins are given. It's an Isekai. He gets zapped into another world and the adventure begins. You ever wondered why the MC didn't stop a particular person or monster or just use his superpower to get past that obstacle...Don't! He does. Its carnage from the get go. The animation, sound, voice acting, pacing, etc are all average. The story for all its mediocrity is fun enough, but it's given that
...
extra edge with the MC. Basically, if you didn't like One Punch Man, then is not for you but for the rest of us,, trash loving isekai fans, this is the hero we always wanted.

TLDR: Meh
Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu; after an unexpectedly great first season, has boiled down to your standard self-insert anime romcom. Or maybe it always was? No... The first season had some genuinely interesting characters, good story, really good pacing and moving moments, but they played their hand too early. This season could have been summed up in an OVA, as, all the major hurdles have been crossed. Ichikawa is no longer going to go Columbine, and Yamada, for whatever reason likes him. To be honest, other than plot armour, there is very little reason for Yamada to like him. And Yamada is....just a
...
cute glutton with good genetics, so why do we like her? Season one milked the odd couple's idiosyncrasies for all it was worth, and this season gives us:
The Sports day.
The field trip.
The whole class shipping them.
The (not so) hard choice.
...and the confession....
Yeah, I bet you all didn't see that coming. Oh, wait you did? Colour me surprised. What were left with is, not much in the way of a story. At least the pacing was okay if not a little slow, and the animation was well done. The forced drama was cringe. The voice casting for Ichikawa and Yamada was always horrible. Mr. Yamada and Yurine Hanzawa (the blond green eyed girl) were more interesting than the rest of the cast and that speaks volumes as there was a little masked pink hair girl who just wanted to start a flash mob. Who doesn't like a good Flash mob?
All in all, just as there are people who will watch any trash isekai (now an official English word), the hardcore romcomers will probably love this show....and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just that there have been so many good romcoms lately, including season 1 of this show, that I want to believe, everyone standard should have been elevated.

TLDR: Cheap generic fun.
An "attractive" older stepsister, Ichika, doting over her new stepbrother, Tomoya. No, it's not a hentai but it's Japanese and there is a dozen of these amusing 3-minute anime series with the same premise. I guess this is a popular trope. Basically, it is generic. The music, art, and animation quality are pretty standard. But it's not horrible and I don't get a creepy incestuous vibe. That might be the one thing that set it apart in that Ichika just wants to be a loving big sister. This almost gives "Oneechan ga Kita" a bit of wholesomeness; all be it in a
...
very strange way. As without that little bit of context this show would quickly degenerate into something less "appropriate" for general consumption. You've spent more time watching a single episode of a bad anime, so why not to give this show a chance as this entire series is about 20 minutes.

TLDR: This is the ever so popular recycled trope of the nerd boy gets the hot chick except this is generic AF and the male MC is squirmy and annoying while the hot chick MC is a garden tool.
What does "My first girlfriend is a gal", "3D Kanojo: Real Girl" and "Don't toy with me Ms Nagatoro" have in common? They're all better version of this show with something unique. This show is cliche as it gets. I find no remarkable qualities with this couple so far. This may change but things don't look promising. Edit- it didn't! It's cringe, unfunny and boring.
The good news,
...
it's not completely horrible and there is a huge audience of self-inserts who clamour for the content. The animation and voice acting are par. The story and dialogue are generic. It does try to have a hook but a girl who penis hops every 2 months is not quite the kind of premise I think most people will find appealing. I'm not judging...no wait I am. Maybe there is a groups people who find this concept amusing enough to watch. There is no motivation to cheer on either of MCs as they both seem more like NPCs.

TLDR: This Anime is the textbook definition of mediocrity.
The show starts off with MC doing generic MC stuff with little to info on whether or not Truck-kun isekaied him. When we were graced with how he's so powerful, it's so lame they only refence that skill once again and it wasn't even useful. And the rest of the show is plot Armor. The end. You could watch 2 episodes side by side at 2x and not miss anything but if you did, just put some random generic isekai trope and you've missed nothing. The fights we, "oh no. this overpowered monster will destroy the village.
...
I have to save everyone" and then he wins without breaking a sweat. If this was one of those shows to which you just switch of your brain to enjoy, I might have given it a 6, but this didn't even try for that.
So why nota 3 or 4 rating? Well, isekai fan will enjoy any trash and the individual scenes are of any typical isekai. It's the bare minimum. Take that for what it's worth.

If you watched the original series (and you should), this is just 4 more episodes. If you're not a fan of a slow-paced slice-of-life, this isn't for you. It is, however, a refreshing break from the hypersexualize, ultra romantic, action packed, overly dramatic amine that's thrown in our face these days. The story continues to follow of the MC, Hitotsubashi, living her life after becoming a literal god but somehow remains the shy, weak, timid schoolgirl that you feel obligated to stand up for. And that's exactly what her two school mates do. Somehow the creator of this managed to keep the god story 2nd
...
place to everyday life. I am reminded of Azumanga Daioh and Minami-ke. The animation style is old but adds charm and character to everything. The voice acting is adequate but there is nothing here that needs to be spectacular. Overall, this show nails what I believe it set out to do and left me feeling at peace and happy, wishing the real world could be as chill as this show is.

"Mixed Feelings" perfectly describes this series. On one hand, we have the awkward predicament of 2 siblings, which was exaggerated for comedic effect. ie, the adult looking kindergarten boy who's less mature than his peers while the opposite is true for his sister. There are uniquely wholesome and funny moments littered throughout. On the other hand, it's very obvious there is an attempt to highlight paedophilia. Some might even say, it encourages it. Was the public or police wrong for their reactions? Is it wrong to be attracted to someone who looks like an adult or vise versa? Have societal norms gone so far as
...
to ostracized edge cases? Well, the good news is, the short format saves it from the topic while we just get to enjoy the off-beat antics that ensue whenever a situation arises. This is done in a way that leaves everything up to you.
The animation is average, Not that it is a bad thing. The voice acting left, a little to be desired, as, the suspension of disbelief was broken several times. Then again, given the nature of the content, it would be very difficult to pull off. The pacing was perfect. The story is, well, someone was going to tackle it, at some point. More often than not, it's almost exclusively an adult that looks underaged. Juxtaposing the situation to the point that the MCs are siblings was a brilliant move. If you made it to this season, you pretty much already like the story. If your about to dive in, I suggest that you start from season one as this builds upon the previous seasons but it can stand on its own as well.

To say this was a dumpster fire would be an insult to dumpster fires. Where to begin? So, the story pickups right after the first season. No rocket science there, but then doubles down on the nonsensical drama that happens for no good reason and continues to emasculate men. The girls don't get away either. Their IQ seemed so low, that the military would refuse them. The adults, the few that they had, could have not been more retarded. Mix that in with the dumb AF story with the standard anime must have school tropes and you realise that "Redo of healer" might have been
...
a masterpiece. This show makes you wonder if in Japan you can beat up nerds, girls and women without consequence. The voice acting. I thought these people were professionals paid to sound like the character but no! They must have looked around the office for people and stuck them in the recording studio. Every conversation sounded forced and fake. People if you have the slightest bit of respect for yourself and time, avoid this show. There are so many good high school romances out there that this should be reserved for someone you hate.
The characters are so mid and uninteresting, it is hard to get invested in them. There is some development but it so poorly handled that that it comes off as cringe more often than not. The lead girl is probably the most interesting of the lot but is saddled with the "she so pretty, she must be a whore" syndrome. Actually, the writer just stuck every high school drama trope imaginable short of being transported to another world in the hopes something sticking. I guess that's why this show has as a high score.
The pacing was cringe, drag, cringe, drag, drag, cringe next episode.
The only things they got right were the mediocre animation, no fan service and how quickly people overreact to minor infractions in relationships. Was this show supposed to be a parody by chance? Because if it was, it went right over my head.
