The Life of Chuck

#2595

Reminded me of what I liked about Stephen King's stories. It was not so much the plot or "horror" (if you actually read him, there is not that much of it, really). It's more about those little things in life. Those that we do not notice most of the

Moral Dilemma: The Interview

#2594

Good for an evening. And it's not like it's trying to be more than that. It's kind of like Stanley's Parable, but less deep and though-provoking and more humorous, I think. You can still probably find some deeper thoughts here and there, but it's

WanDance

#2593

Not my thing. The art style seemed a bit inconsistent to me, and that's even without accounting for CGI dances. Which are not good. This is not the worst CGI ever, but it just stands out too much with how smooth the models are compared to drawn ones

転生悪女の黒歴史

#2592

Another reincarnated villainess. Nothing really special besides maybe part of premise. It's not a game, it's a story, but not just any story - written by the MC. And maybe that the main heroine was originally based on MC. This will, probably, cause

Episode 2:

It's just boring. I think it tries to be both supernatural and slice-of-life, and based on tags also a detective mystery or something. But it does not seem to be succeeding in any of those. Spirits are almost inconsequential, they could be

Weapons (2025)

#2590

Kind of "meh". It even oversells itself in the beginning, when some kid is reading the intro. "Lots of people died in weird ways" or something. Not that many, not that weird. The plot is essentially generic "cops can't do anything right, but some

Episode 2:

Time skip with the 2nd episode? That's an interesting choice. The guy did not grow up at all in 3 years, though. And overall it felt like a wasted episode. As if revenge plot was forgotten till the very end of it. Not watching 3rd episode

Peacemaker (Season 2)

#2587

Episode 8:

How come a show that's supposed to be satire (at least in some of the aspects) is one of the most wholesome ones in a very long while? Even considering some brutality in it. It's just good, and I would not mind a 3rd season.

忍者と極道

#2586

Assassin's Creed, the anime.

Seriously. Ninja are assassins, gokudo are templars. Both sides hate each other, but of course, now that 2 of the characters have met and started bonding over anime, there will be moral dilemmas. Which side is really wrong

東島丹三郎は仮面ライダーになりたい

#2585

I am unsure about this one. I understand that it's trying to exaggerate some things intentionally, but I do not think I like that. I would probably prefer a more grounded story. But will give next episode a shot.

友達の妹が俺にだけウザい

#2584

Iroha annoyed me from the very beginning. I saw some saying that she is same as Himari fromBoy-Girl Friendship, but... No. She is worse.

Yes, Himari's behavior can still be considered toxic, but context matters. Or at least the way she was introduced

#2583

They are looking for rose-tinted shade of blue? What? I guess this metaphor went over my autistic head.

Did he have to break the window in the end of the episode? Was there no other choice, really? But anyway, something feels off. Like this is a

Episode 2:

I do not get the reason for account suspension. The game's page - maybe, if some contentious content was flagged (even if untrue). Also do people go to review something just because someone else reviewed it? I am aware of bots, and haters,

SI-VIS: The Sound of Heroes

#2581

Music will save us all? Don't know from what though. A lot seemed to happen this episode, but I feel like there was very little world building, and not that much music or dancing for an idol anime, too. Giving 2nd episode a chance, but my

終末ツーリング

#2580

Japan tourism ad. But in post-apocalypse. Looks like this will be something likeZatsu Tabi, but in distant (or not) future. Maybe there will be a bit of weirdness, since we have a robot here, but I doubt it will be even close to weirdness of. Some

Wonder if this will prompt boys to dream of being manual therapists. Then they go to medical school, start practicing and get severely disappointed. Most patients are not cute girls, and even when you get one, she most likely does not get horny from

#2577

It's like 3rd "emotionless girl" anime this season. Or maybe 4th even. Count with me:

  1. There is a bullied emotionlessgirl.
  2. There is a suicidal emotionlessgirl.

Let me get this straight: "Korovka" ("Коровка") is not a chocolate, it's a toffee filled with fondant. In worst interpretations it's closer to a fudge. It is also, technically, not Russian, but Polish ("Krówki"), while the recipe is allegedly

顔に出ない柏田さんと顔に出る太田君

#2575

Why does Japan promote bullying? Yes, some call this "teasing", but... Is it really? Anime of this genre often times go way beyond just telling a joke at someone's expense once or twice in 10 years or something. The premise of the show is that the

笑顔のたえない職場です。

#2574

So... Much... Talking...

I could not get over the first 10 minutes even. I was bored out of my skull. Art and animation look great, but it was just constant, non-stop blabbing. Maybe it's good as a white noise machine, but not good as an anime for

デブとラブと過ちと!

#2573

Not my type of humor. I can also see it now a mile away, how it will turn out that the rest of the girls at this company secretly were jealous and that's why they tried to kill Yumeko, but hew new self will make them friends or something.

I would also

#2572

What's the point of isekai here? To have a character that would be level-headed to counter-act 2 doofuses? The first episode did not even focus on the girl. They probably could have not add anything about isekai here at all or keep the reveal for

アルマちゃんは家族になりたい

#2571

Kaguya-sama and Spy X Family in one. Kind of.

Spy X Family since they have a "mission" fulfilling which involves raising a baby, which is also an android, and they need to keep that a secret. "Parents" also need to keep a secret of their own feelings

僕のヒーローアカデミア FINAL SEASON

#2569

I would have preferred whole episode to be focused on All-Might, but the way they switched based on words about "light" did work. For the most part. Armored All-Might also looks like that speedster from Fairy Tail. And Hagakure is hot.

#2568

I expected this to be trash. It's not. It's definitelytrashy, at least at times, but nottrash. On one hand it could have benefited from a full season, that is at 12 episodes or even more, but on the other hand, I do not think it's meant to be that

Alice in Borderland (Season 3)

#2567

I think I decided not to watch continuation after season 2. But maybe not, because I did not find my review of it, and I started remembering that when I already started watching this mess. 1st season was great. Not perfect, but mostly because

私を喰べたい、ひとでなし

#2566

Summer Hikaru Died, yuri style? And with sea/ocean instead of the mountain/forest as an inanimate character. At the least it definitely has way better narrative structure, and it's more clear from just the 1st episode what the show will be about,

永久のユウグレ

#2565

She just had to wear a mini-skirt. Only logical, since everyone knows those improve your combat capabilities. At least you get a distraction tool, right?... 🤦

I feel like the first episode (the one that was "0") was a waste, it did not add much beside

しゃばけ

#2564

Not sure where this is going. Definitely looks like a slow-burn, but is it because it's a slice-of-life? Or because they are trying to build tension? Although, can't say I felt much of tension even in the later part of the episode. Then there are

Sanda

#2563

They probably could have won with just art-style. It's probably the most unique one this season, at least among the shows that I saw. It's very... "Dynamic". But they clearly did not stop there. They had an amazing hook, things happening on screen

Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon

#2561

Title is so long, I had to use English one, and create a task to increase maximum length.

They "accepted" a random kid from street without even checking if he is an adventurer? They also seemed high level, so it does not make sense to not, at least,

#2560

- Are they lovers?

- Worse: they are idiots.

I did not like how they were switching art-style too often. I think there were like 3 of those: for real things, for memories and for "dreams" or thoughts. I get it why they wanted to do this, but to me it

#2559

There isTBATE, and then there is this. This one is worse. TBATE was a slide-show, that did not make sense for an action anime, but when it did animate things it still looked decent. Potion, though... Is it AI generated? It looks just atrocious. If

In Russian "Kannawa" (or rather "канава", which sounds the same) means "a ditch" or "a gutter". Wonder if this is a pure coincidence or not. Other than that, romcom at a workplace with an older woman, who is shy, but decides to change. She is cute,

I recently encountered a video titledIt's visible that you watch p*rn, and I had some thoughts after watching it. The woman in the video is not wrong, but I think she is mixing a bunch of (at least potentially) related things, some of which were

矢野くんの普通の日々

#2555

Has the guy considered taking off the eye-patch? Perhaps seeing with 2 eyes, thus properly seeing 3D could help with the clumsiness? I do understand that the patch is more of a way to indicate an injury, but that may still be going a bit over-board.

I think the bit with dad crying over mom's portrait as if she is dead (but not) and complaining about their daughter, is something I saw somewhere else with almost the same lines. But I think it was a bit less annoying, and the girl did not look like

Episode 5:

As expected some explanation was provided in last episode but still, overall, it does not make much sense. Who was that girl in opening? What was the point of saving people from first 3 episodes if the issue was just the war, which was part

Am I stupid? I saw quite a bit of praise for this short, but for me it felt quite like an empty burger. It looks great, and there was definitely some love into the background of it all, but... What's the point of the story, in the end? That you can

Episode 2:

Where did that book come from? Before those were memories, no? Like memories of a life, not of a story from a book. It is also very unclear how her learning dark magic would turn her into a villainess, let alone how she expected to get love

Filled in the questionnaire today. Nothing special there, but still sharing stuff as translated by Vivaldi, along with some comments.

I did not choose "totally agree" for first question, since I do not think it is required or mandatory to monitor the

ブスに花束を。

#2548

In what world is she ugly?

She is not a "catwalk model", perhaps, but "ugly"?.. Nah. She is just normal. Kind of like some side-characters in other anime and manga, which are meant to "not stand out". But does that automatically mean that she is not

魔法公主的小烦恼

#2547

Restart-anime but possibly without actual restart. Although premise suggests that the girl inside the princess is a woman from modern age, and she is in a book. 1st episode did not suggest any of that, more like it was suggesting a mind transfer from

Last episode in a nutshell:

Overall, this anime is fine, very sweet. I think it was a bit overhyped, but I can see why that was the case, too: no drama, no constant misunderstandings, just wholesomeness. This is, indeed, rare nowadays.
