This is kinda weird. There is a lot of big booba maids at first, and then it left to mostly one that particularly dotes on MC, which is nice, but why is he so feminine? It just, man, he is too uncomfortably feminine to be a vessel for projection. I have easier time to empathize with some female characters, than with this.
Story is ordinary wish fulfillment of obtaining cheat powers, and it is ok at that. At least there is no boring minute long lore dumps with some arcane made up rules for magic. Instead it is combat, cool magic animation, nice visuals and stuff.

Sci-fi spectacle with good animation. Story is not that original, and revolves around free of will. Main problems here is that motivation of villains is just too poor and boring. One antagonist is crazy maniac, another is wannabe revolutionary without own plans and dependence on unknown third party, and the last one is just going for world domination. The main antagonist is just sad excuse of a human being, stop sign would have more charisma at stopping the main heroine. Low screen time for antagonists does not help either. At any rate, execution of their conflict is too artificial and just bad.
It is just sad ...

Typical power up fantasy from zero to hero. Execution is very good. Even when story have basically nothing but grind and struggles of MC on his way to become the strongest, it still keeps you engaged.
Lore dump in late second half was bothersome and meaningless. Whole thing with kings, sovereigns, monarchs and stuff was dumb and pointless, but thankfully it did not detract much from main attraction. It is very basic and can me summed up as "Me likes no war. You likes war. Me kills you before you kills me. Then no war". I think story could be better if MC was not made ...

Surprisingly not an isekai, but it sure looks like one. RPG world system, adventurers, ranks, and other typical things. It tries to be a parody of sorts, but sadly it does not go all the way. After an amusing first episode it devolves in kinda "serious" story which kills the vibe. Instead of being entertained, you are here to suffer through the stupidity and mediocrity of the generic plot and artificial character reactions.
Boring OP character, with a rather lame excuse for his powers, and an author who tries to come up with some conflict for him with adversaries on the same power level. Mediocre story with ...

Isekai with too much talking about nothing interesting, or more like infodumping in boring dialogs form.
It starts decently, but the more the story develops, the more the plot moves forward with little to no connection to the protagonist. He makes no decisions, he takes no active role. It is possible to make a great story this way, but it is not the case here. There is no conflict shown anywhere, just some looming outside danger of demon lord invasion for the sake of invasion into kingdom where MC was summoned and live. Even throwing at him some kind of oracle to foretold his future in ...

I guess you really have to be in school to enjoy this, because this story looks like a generic dream of a generic school kid. Not much of a plot when all you have to do is install some questionable software to become "special" and have a conversation with a girl of your dreams. And on this basis, you will have a common interest with her and develop a relationship.
It is kinda lame and immersion-breaking to have to handwave the fact that this ability can't realistically be contained in this particular piece of software, because people are pretty good at replicating something that they know ...

Isekai without untimely death of protagonist who is in his 30's. He meets a powerful bird who teleports him between worlds. Pretty good story, but at few points I felt overloaded by the new characters and tropes. By the 8 episode, I strongly doubt how this magic stuff is possible to cover up by anime's universe logic. It is just wild how much there is of it.
As the guy moves through worlds with motivation to improve his quality of life, number of named characters skyrocket pretty fast. I can't imagine watching this on weekly basis as there is just too many things to keep track ...

Premise sounds lame, because if being a genius is the only thing going for him and it is used as justification for all plot resolutions, as it is the case, then story become stale pretty fast for my taste. Still, this is much better than to see the use of "modern knowledge" which is the case in some trash isekais, when author own knowledge of subject is based on reading 5 minute wikipedia article on it. Anyway, amount of ass pulls and "smart" moves is pretty high here.
Poor premise aside, politics portrayed here are main plot line and good enough to capture attention. Second ...

Sad excuse for otome isekai yuri anime. Though it starts as fun story of unrequited love, it devolves really fast into really weird relationships. Protagonist become basically an obsessed maniac/stalker and pulls all stops to become as close as possible to her unwilling love interest.
Story goes through motions of killing boss/tournament/what-have-you without any direct impact on relationships of protagonist and her obsession. As there was nothing to story beside this extreme passion, author resorts to lame world-building by dumping info on different subjects (magic system, past flashbacks, politics, etc.). This uninspired generic otome setting unbearable to watch as it is, but if you add ...

Isekai starring walking encyclopedia girl, who took the role of Savior to deliver us all, with potions to do some magics. If only she was not so insufferable, then it would be something better than just another mediocre isekai.
All conflicts look too artificial and constructed to obvious end-goal. Which is to push protagonist out of comfort zone, show how good she is and how effortlessly she can solve any problem, and then to force her to continue search for easy life. Absence of concrete targets or goals beside basic survival/money, no visible desire to make lasting human connections or find love - make skin-deep story ... |
