Are we seriously 40 episodes into this anime with minimal progress?
Why is the plot just stuck in place?
This show has lost it's spark as a charming, light-hearted blend as family comedy.
Having side stories is fine, but this show treats them as if they’re the main plot. What started as a promising premise is now being dragged down by inconsistent pacing, weak side arcs, and unnecessarily long backstories. It’s hard not to feel like the series is being milked after all this time, we’ve only gotten one Stella and two Bolts. When is the story actually going to move forward?
Even as supposed stakes rise, many episodes
...
feel like pure filler with recycled character beats. It’s the same loop: “Anya tries at Eden,” “She fails,” “Nothing changes.” Yor faces another domestic crisis, Loid remains stagnant, and the overarching mission barely matters anymore. The narrative refuses to push forward, and when emotional moments do appear, they’re dulled by poor build-up, predictable writing, and blatant dues ex machina especially when Yor is portrayed as practically unbeatable, eliminating any sense of tension.
The pacing is horrendous. Episodes are padded with slow dialogue and unnecessary detours that neither develop the cast nor expand the world. The animation and production values from Wit Studio and CloverWorks remain top-tier, but even those can’t mask the creative stagnation. The soundtrack, once lively and memorable with “Mixed Nuts,” has gradually lost its charm. The newer endings still retain some beauty through their visuals and reflective tone, but they’re not enough to save the show from feeling hollow.
Spy x Family Season 3 is proof that high production quality can’t compensate for weak storytelling. What was once a heartfelt, clever comedy has become a beautifully animated treadmill moving, but going nowhere.

Have you seen a trash Isekai? Well welcome to another season as this time it isn’t about a doctor getting overpowered or any other anime as such, but an overpowered guy that dies and uses his power to reincarnate into another world. And as expected he’s overpowered and is the casual Isekai protagonist.
The story is predictable. Especially if the protagonist gets in a fight. He will always win because he’s the nice and caring protagonist that’s overpowered. Totally haven't seen that in other anime.
Not to mention, the anime is bland. Although the fights are spicy, the backgrounds are really bland. Other than that, the art
...
style’s average.
The voice actors are good. The voice actors fit each character’s personality, just like any other standard anime. Same for the sound effects. It’s standard.
The characters are generic. The protagonist is the nice and good guy who saves everyone, and Efa, an average nice and loving maid.
The Strongest Exorcist in Another World is absolutely dreadful. I would sleep in the middle of the episode, as it’s just predictable. The story or characters aren't good either.
If you’d like to waste your time on another trash Isekai with a predictable story, bland animation, and generic characters, then Strongest Exorcist in Another World is waiting for you. Other than that, I highly recommend that you don't watch Strongest Exorcist in Another World.
2/10

Ever seen an anime where the protagonist has things go their way? Well look no further than Shinmai Renkinjutsushi no Tenpo Keiei, or Management of a Novice Alchemist. Management of a Novice Alchemist has NOTHING to offer. The animation’s average, the story is terrible, and the characters are absolute cardboard flat. If you’d like to waste your time, here’s your first step forward.
The story? Terrible. The protagonist, Sarasa, has everything go her way. If she’s in a predicament, she’ll always save the day. Totally not use of cliche tropes. If there’s a villain, she’ll save the day. Expect nothing but a predictable storyline from
...
Management of a Novice Alchemist.
In addition, the characters are cardboard flat. Sarasa is the same old “nice and kind” protagonist. Side characters act all energetic, but I dislike them. There isn’t a driving force that makes me want to like them.
The animation is bland. Bland backgrounds, and nothing special. The character’s look rather bright but the art is rather average. There isn’t that much CGI, which is surprising.
I didn’t enjoy Management of a Novice Alchemist. Not one bit. With a predictable story with cardboard flat characters, what could you expect? It’s just terribly boring.
As previously mentioned, if you’d like to waste your time on an anime with a predictable story, cardboard flat characters, and average animation. Then look no further than Management of a Novice Alchemist. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone at all.
I give Management of a Novice Alchemist 1 Sarasas out of 10.

The initial appeal of Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen was a funny romcom with great humour, and an interesting premise. I really loved the premise, which was to make the students try to make each other confess. I loved it. However, that was only until chapter 130 or so, the manga took a drama stage. Instead of continuing the relationship, it takes a big dive into garbage writing. The initial appeal had disappeared, and what I had been reading was filled with boring old rom com drama. If it had continued the humorous and romantic relationships, then I would've given Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai:
...
Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen, a perfect 10/10.
The story is simple. Shirogane and Kaguya, are in the student council. They both have this feeling for each other, and they try to make others confess. I was very interested in this idea. It was much different from your usual romcoms, so I had high expectations, y'know? Chapters 1-130 were a 10/10, no doubt, but straight after that, it gets horrible, as I mentioned before. Everything gets worse and worse. Drama was the thing that I did not want Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen to use. Well, unluckily for me, that happened.
Chapters that stop the drama, continuing the manga from chapter 262 and so on were trying to tie all of the screws that were loose, but it just didn't work out. The initial charm of the series had been gone. The humour was dry and unfunny, and most importantly, the side character's relationships were rushed. We never get a proper story for side character's relationships.
The ending: Horrifying. I absolutely despised the ending. We never get a proper conclusion for Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen, we only have the student council team graduating, that's it. We don't get to see the outcome of everyone's relationships.
The characters? Still likeable. Shirogane & Ishigami are my favourite characters. One positive thing I can say about the drama is that they didn't really change their characters, which was good. I basically liked every character. No characters were unlikeable, except for one of Kaguya's cousins, and her family.
The art is splendid. The coloured pages are awesome. Each panel had been taken the utmost care of. Nothing looked particularly rushed.
A 10/10 wouldn't be enough for my enjoyment. I loved every single chapter of Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen, and was just way too hyped for the next chapter. After chapter 130, things get negative, sadly. I get really bored, as Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen turns from one of the best (if not best) romcom anime, to an absolute garbage dumpster. All of the things that I loved, humour and story, were thrown into the bin.
Seriously though. I've seen so many anime that I loved so much, but just don't reach a good conclusion, or get trash later on. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen is part of the "wasted potential" anime/manga. I really am disappointed. I don't hate Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen, I'm just disappointed straight after the duel confessions arc.

Honestly, going into the tatami galaxy, I wasn't really interested. But, in a matter of seconds, I regret what I say. The tatami galaxy is awesome. It brings up a unique idea, and instantly gets the person watching in love with the show. The tatami time machine blues is no different.
The tatami time machine blues is a much more different change from season one. It introduces a different idea, compared to the first season (if this is a sequel). It's a really simple and fun idea. The writers know what they're doing, because this was incredibly entertaining. The concept, humour, etc.
Honestly, I was pretty disappointed
...
that Madhouse wasn't going to animate this. Science SARU had surprised me though. The visuals were the same, which had got me pleased that there wasn't a new style (or different looking style). Sometimes, the dialogue isn't as fast as the first season's used to be. Sure, this was one of the issues I had.
Higuchi's voice is weird. But still, I think it's good enough. The voice actor for the first season had sadly died in 2020, meaning that Higuchi had to be voiced by someone else. Sad, but nothing people can do. Other than that, I really loved how Science SARU sticked to the voice actors from season one. Watashi's voice is still great, even after 12 years. Ozu's voice too.
The music? Good. The music was a bit unappealing at first, but I got used to it. The intro bangs. Ed slaps. Definitely a subpar version compared to the first season, but I still liked it.
The sound effects are great. No issues at all with it. The sound effects fit well for what the characters are doing.
I enjoyed the tatami time machine blues, of course. Great humour, good animation, great concept, etc. basically the things I've mentioned before.
I'd highly recommend you this, especially for people who have been waiting 12 years for a sequel to the tatami galaxy. It's a really fun and engaging sequel.

(spoilers)
TLDR (spoiler free)
Summertime render was great at the start, but ends up trash at the last few episodes. I'd recommend that you watch better time travel shows. Rating: 4/10
TLDR END
(Spoilers right ahead)
Summertime render was a good anime. It was, that is. The first few episodes consisted of great animation, with an interesting premise of these "shadows" which copy someone's entire body and memory with a copy, known as a shadow. These shadows then kill the original. So, after a great premise, what led to the downfall of summertime render?
Well, simple. It got incredibly dues ex Machina to the end. Well, it's not just that. There's
...
plot holes everywhere. Barely anything is explained towards the end.
So, what made summertime render dues ex Machina? Most things at the end. Especially the final fight. So first of all, I'm sure everyone has known Shide. He is the strong buff dude that protects Haine. But somehow, as Shinpei gets the gun filled with bullets that erase his Armor, he kills Shide. When Shide, with everyone knowing how fast he can get, he just stood there, getting shot by the bullets. My brain cells internally exploded after seeing such a massive dues ex Machina, leading to a happy ending.
I hate happy endings? No. I don't mind happy endings, as long as there isn't a dues ex Machina. I'm pretty sure that I wasn't the only one to recognise how stupid and illogical that was. Imagine being able to move fast. As fast as when someone who was watching, they would think you were teleporting each second. Then, you're fighting your opponent, and somehow, you just can't dodge it like you usually did. That was incredibly dues ex Machina.
Next, characters. The most illogical part of the show. So, lets start with the protagonist. Shinpei is that same old nice guy. He's basically the same protagonist as any in a normal time travel. Nice and caring, then determined and angry. I feel like authors of time travel these days can't think of a creative and unique personality for the protagonist. Next, Sou. The same old average friend that acts like a brother to the MC. Ushio, the same old energetic girl. Mio, the same old nice and caring sister. The protagonist and his allies are basically the same old personality, it's nothing new.
Now, for the villains. Decent introduction, but screwed up later on, riddled with plot holes.
First of all, Shide. His goal is cliché and confusing. He's that same old villain that goes "I WILL DESTROY THE WORLD!" However, something doesn't fit in. Shide says that he'll destroy the world, but he says that he wants to live a long life, watching the world until it eventually ends. That doesn't make sense at all. If he wants to destroy the world, then why would he want to live a long life, watching the world until it eventually ends? Plot hole number one
The art was great, until later episodes. Every time I see the episode before the action episode, the animation is rushed, and it looks really messy. The start's animation is good, but then, in the final few episodes, the animation drops. The airships in Haine's world look ugly and rushed. Other than that, awesome colour palette, great fights and good character designs. However, the one time OLM cut out Toktiko's apology, it left a plot hole. Why does Tokiko suddenly join Shinpei's team, even though she was on team Haine just an episode ago?
The sound is nothing special. It's just your average sound effects. The intros perfectly explain what the protagonist and his allies are dealing with, exploring the myth of the shadows, and the second intro explains what Shinpei and their team are fighting against. It was an average action intro though. The outros were pretty good too. Voice actors were good, their voices fit perfectly for each character.
Honestly, I enjoyed Summertime Render at the start. The potential was super high, but sadly, as time went, it just kept on getting worse and worse, until we reach the ending, which was horrible.
Summertime render had potential. It had potential to be my most favourite time travel anime. Sadly, it fails and becomes horrible towards the end. I don't hate summertime render, I just think it's wasted potential for what it could've been.

(Spoilers)
TLDR at the end
I've had enough. I really have had enough.
I hate Isekai that try to be interesting but end up being an embarrassment.
I hate main characters that is the same old "Nice and caring" personality.
I hate Isekai that always make the main character reincarnate in a noble family with riches.
...
I hate characters that are overpowered straight off the bat, rather than slowly learning more and becoming stronger.
Generic anime suck, and this is no different.
So, you may be thinking, "How is Isekai Yakkyou generic?"
Simple. If you take a close look, there is NOTHING good that I can say about Isekai Yakkyou besides the animation, sound effects, and music. The story is cheap and crap, the characters are Cliché, and it's boring.
So, what makes Isekai Yakkyou generic? To simply put, it has the qualities of the same old Isekai. I can at least say that Isekai Yakkyou tries, but fails to be interesting. It's like bringing up an interesting idea, but failing to make good use of it.
Bringing more explanation to this, take a look at episode one. Kanji (a doctor) is researching over night. He continues to work, until suddenly, as soon as he sleeps, he dies of over work. He is suddenly brought to a new world.
Suddenly, he is reincarnated into a nobles family. Sure, totally not generic. Next, he is found out to be given a special ability; to be blessed by the panactheos. Yeah, totally not generic. Next, he is op straight of the bat. Sure, I totally haven't seen one Isekai with an overpowered protagonist, straight off the bat. One thing that I can at least say that was unique was Kanji being reincarnated into an already living body that had just died, rather then being reincarnated into an entirely new character.
Slowly after that, Kanji (which is now known as Farma) slowly gets used to the diseases and medical system, which is bland, and generic.
Why? Simple. The diseases are literally the same as the world Kanji was in. It isn't an entirely new system, which is just generic, and is one of the main reasons the MC becomes overpowered. If it's the same diseases from the previous world, no wonder how overpowered Farma gets.
Remember what I previously said? about the op protagonist. Well guess what. This guy can make PERFECT medicines with ease, which is shitty and generic. Farma easily gets through the path of medicine; he doesn't experience failure or hardships through it. It's just a few hours of studying, and bop! he's overpowered. And it isn't just that. Don't forget about Farma, as not only can he make perfect medicine, but also can create perfect face cream that makes your face white, without any health disadvantages! Wow! Oh, and you musn't forget about how everything conveniently goes his way. During episode seven, the people from guardian deity temple chase after Farma, with the intention of eliminating him, and guess what happens. He easily blocks all of their attacks with ease, which is lame, stupid, and most importantly, generic. With the help of the Panactheos, Farma has everything work conveniently for him. For example, on episode 12, he somehow starts using "Remove (disease name)" which is something that works PERFECTLY for him, especially at the last fight, when Blanche was infected with a disease, he can just do an easy "Remove infection!"
The characters? Cliché. Farma, the same old nice and caring type. Oh and don't hit me with that "determined to save people so no one has to suffer" because that isn't even getting me sad or anything. A characters backstory is supposed to make you feel pity for them, but I couldn't give one crap about Farma or Kanji. Oh, and the villains! Cliché goal. They all want to kill everyone in the world for one particular reason: Because people didn't understand him. Sadly, his characters was barely fleshed out, he only got a minute or 2 of his backstory. Haha, and it was the only reason I kept my hopes up for this. Also, we never get to learn about other characters and their motivation for medicine. All we learn from is Farma, the generic protagonist.
The animation: good. Bland shaded backgrounds, decent fight choreography, and consistent animation. It pretty much has everything you need for a good adapted series. I was quite surprised that the studio that animated dumpstermic girlfriend would be animating a medical Isekai. So yeah, the animation is good. I don't have much issues with it.
Sound effects are also good. It's nothing special. Same old magic effects, punching effects (except for that one in episode 12) and yeah, basically the same old sound effects. It fits really well, just like how the music during fight scenes, or any scene fits well. I had no issues with it. Despite how much I hate Isekai Yakkyou, I actually like the opening, it got me vibing to it every time I listened to it. The outro song was also nice, but I skipped it multiple times, even if I found myself humming to it while I'm doing something. The voice actors are skilled, being great at acting, etc. Their voices also fit with the characters personality
I somehow enjoyed Isekai Yakkyou at the start and thought it was decent. Soon after, it became boring, because it's generic. It would be hard to enjoy a show with an OP mc that was born into a nobles family, with everything going perfectly for him. If I were to re watch this, I would be sleeping through the whole time. Not even one second of looking at the screen.
Isekai Yakkyou is an anime that tricks the audience into thinking it is good, but behind all of the good voice acting and low-budget animation, lies a generic Isekai story that one would see every season.
Don't even bother watching Isekai Yakkyou. It's not worth your time, even if you like medical anime. A straight up 1/10, with no hesitation whatsoever. Isekai Yakkyou had potential, it really did.
TLDR
Isekai Yakkyou is the same old boring Isekai that has an overpowered mc, boring characters, bland shaded backgrounds, and a lame story. Do not watch it.

--Spoilers from episodes 1-2--
Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii was a show that I wouldn't expect much from. I just saw it and thought "guess I'll try it, won't expect much" but this is probably one of the most unfunniest shows I've ever seen.
You may think "Why though? What could've made Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii so unfunny?" Well, that's because the show repeats the same jokes over and over again. On episode one, Yuuri (the master of the maid) says to Lilith (the maid) "So that's why my heart beats fast when I see you!" and the joke keeps on getting repeated on and on,
...
expecting the same reaction.
Well, that isn't the only problem. Yuuri is a literal child, and Lilith (the maid) is a literal adult. Why are jokes like that being made? Either way, even if I don't take the weird jokes into consideration, the jokes are hilariously unfunny and repeated.
The story is boringly average. I found no redeeming qualities from the set up, it's just the same as usual. Nothing seemed really fun about the story.
Now, there are redeeming qualities of Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii. The animation is actually bright and consistent. VAs work pretty well for their character, sound effects are smooth, and nothing looks particularly rushed. Songs are fine, I guess. They aren't as memorable and banging.
Characters are boringly average. Yuuri is the same old two-dimensional kid that has the same qualities as a normal kid.
Lilith is a maid that had a reason to visit Yuuri... and that hasn't been explained yet. It probably will in later episodes but other than that, Lilith is a fine maid, I guess.
I didn't really enjoy Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii. None of the jokes hit, and it was really boring.
Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii is really nothing special. I found barely any redeeming qualities besides the sound effects and animation. I don't recommend you watching this, even if you like maid shows.

--Spoiler free review--
If I were describe Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari, it would be "fine." There were quite a few reasons towards why Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari does not get an 8/10. First of all, lets start with the story.
The story is fine. It's not unique and mind-blowing, but it's just... fine. The premise is basically some violent dude named Kirishima who works for the Sakuragi family as Yaeka's caretaker. Pretty simple and unique setup.
The art is bright. Character movements look fluid, most frames don't look rushed, the art style for characters look pretty neat. It's definitely solid for both the animation and art.
The sound
...
is the same as art. It's pretty neat. Sounds pretty much fit well and are in sync. OST soundtracks work well for you to get into the episode, with the ed song being quite chill and simple. The voice actors also do a great job.
Characters are pretty fine. Kirishima is a badass violent dude, Houjou is that average worker, Yaeka is your average school girl, and Kazuhiko is a chill boss. The characters sure are likeable, especially kirishima. The antagonist is a bit stretched, but he's fine.
One issue that this anime suffers are bad jokes. 70% of jokes were unfunny jokes that had made me go "meh" instead of a "haha." I guess some of the jokes were fine, but the majority was just a meh.
Honestly, I didn't enjoy or unenjoyed Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari. For the most part, everything was like an "okay" with some of the scenes being "nice."
Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari is a simple show; nothing less or more. It has a unique setup and has a decent story, good art, good soundtrack (and sound effects), decent characters, and an enjoyable ride. I'm giving Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari 6 Kirishimas out of 10.
Thank you for reading.

Reflect is basically a song about Gawr Gura and her "other self." I couldn't really find anything to love/like about this song. Sometimes the English felt a bit off, and the animation was pretty lazy, with both Gawr Guras barely moving. Every few seconds was basically images that were slowly zooming in and moving onto another... while this doesn't happen for all scenes, this was often shown. The sound was pretty decent, it was simple and I couldn't find anything good about it. It was fine. The character part is one problem here. I often cringed at both of the Gawr Guras. Sometimes I would
...
feel like vomiting at points.
And for the second last part, I didn't really enjoy this much. There were only a few scenes that looked pretty nice and fresh
4/10 The song is good but English is sometimes off, and the song was just bad overall. I couldn't find anything to really like about this music video.
