I wasn't planning on doing a review on this show, but external circumstances made me do it

I don't even know how to describe this, as there's literally nothing happening. I will sum it up into everyone over reacts to the cute daughter of the hero had and the spirit goddess. And also she is an isekaied person, because off course, everything needs to be an isekai nowadays.

I guess the main appeal was supposed to be about the comedy of the overreactions from the father, the mother, and literally everyone else, but this kind of comedy is a either a hit or a miss, you need ... several things to fit properly to make work, and personally i don't think they did a great job in here.

There's some kind of plot around royalty in the kingdom and the hero's family, but it all feels like filler to create scenes for the hero to show how cute his daughter is

But in the end, it all feels boring and forced. Like "look at my cute daughter, isn't she cute?" *character process to over react, because she's so cute*, repeat the same thing 10 times until stale. This show is filled with this kind of "humor" being forced and repeated ad nauseous.

I would say there's also another reason as to where the appeal of this show is, but i will limit my self to just say the petite little cute girl character is indeed cute. *proceeds to pummels head on PC desk*

Another seasonal slop to "watch" while eating something. Knowing fully well what JC Staff is capable of, it kinda tells where their focus went when they chose to invest on this kind of thing, and that other power trip harem slop, instead of a highly appraised series that would've been an easy win.

Wasn't planning on doing a review on this, but external circumstances made me do it.

Incapable loser buffoon gets lucky with his useless gacha power and earns a God tier level maid servant to solve all his problems for him. After getting betrayed by a group of adventures that deceived him, and later saved by his Deus Ex Machina power, he now starts his training and getting powerful arc, to one day get his revenge against those adventurers...

But actually, lets just skip any kind of proper build up and development and jump straight up years in the future, where the Protagonist is now akin of ... a god at level 9999, loved by everyone, has summoned and entire army with his "useless" gacha skill, but somehow haven't managed yet to avenge himself. In this modern era we don't have time to build interesting worlds and write interesting stories i guess...

There's so much wrong in here, from skipping anything that would build up and develop the story, the world the characters and make this story interesting, to plot holes like how didn't any of the other adventures noticed this random guy getting infamy and power, alongside several other things.

This just another seasonal low quality slop, a power trip harem revenge story, the most superficial and empty you could get. This specially hurts knowing fully well what JC Staff is capable of, and they decided to put their focus, effort and resources on this, alongside another low quality isekai slop, instead of an easy win with an highly acclaimed series.

This show feels rushed, simple as that, it doesn't take the proper amount of time to develop the story or characters, nor their relationships, just constantly jumping from one scene to the other, without much explanation, then suddenly changing tone when a plot thing happens, trying to force a loose tie in with a mystery thingy from the middle to the end.

It feels like a work started by one person and ended by another, where 2 conflicted views of what the show was supposed to be clashed and the worse one won. They even managed to shoe horn a time traveling thingy, that personally ... just made it all feel worse for the dark story they tried to introduce later on. In some parts it felt like an attempt at Angel Beats, but lacked everything that made that show great, not even the MC's romantic partner doesn't get any proper development other than "her brother is in pain and then she is sad"

It had a little bit of potential, with a somewhat interesting premise, but ended up just being another disappointment.

Generic main protagonist almost dies, gets saved by god and receives a powerful ability to continue his life, now with happiness, love and success.

What surprises me the most is how blatantly fast the writers couldn't grasp to stick with the concept of Appraiser, apparently being able to evaluate things now also means being able to predict the future and steal skills from defeated foe's. Why all that work around just to make another "fan service generic power trip fantasy" type of story.

Just start with "he was useless, now he can steal skills and predict moments forward in the future", there you have ... it, a solid premise, you don't need to do all that walk in circles to explain or justify the lack of logic on what's happening.

Due to the lack of real effort put into it, i can only expect a pretty warm dumpster fire to watch while eating something, but nothing else to invest into.

Light version of My Eminence in shadow, basically the same tropes of MC leading an organization, with that incidental facade of acting very smart and strategic, when in actuality everything just happens to end up well, as "planned", because of either luck, or everyone else who's actually smarter/the real brains of the operation assuming control and working on some implied grand strategy in place by the MC, and making it all work accordingly.

Tho, in every aspect this series feels as of lower quality compared to Eminence in Shadow, from character development, world building, through pacing and the structure of each episode itself. Even while having ... some points of its own, it feels rushed, not giving the proper amount of time to build up scenes, plots and conflicts, and just either skipping or rushing important things, making it all fell off as lacking in impact.

This will be one of those shows who tries too much to be like something else and fails at being its own thing. Passable mid, but completely forgettable.

Woman dies from overwork and gets reborn into a magical world, where people invent and build modern tools reimagined to work with magic related systems: Magic stones, magical circuits, etc.

And then you can forget it all because it turns out none of that is the actual main focus of the series, but just the protagonist's personal relationship with the people around her, followed by a lot of gossip, shoulder sharing, drama, love, betrayal, and several other romance related things, while only around 10% of it being actually about the exploration of modern tools and gadgets reimagined to work in a magical world.

If you like ... soft romance and drama things, go for it, if you expect it to be any deeper or to actually explore the themes it starts us with, you will probably be disappointed

I really don't understand what's happening in this show, it feels like i'm watching something from the middle onward, where they had already introduced several deep complex topics and concepts, and i'm missing out of crucial information about the story and world... But they actually haven't done anything of that yet.

3 episodes in and i'm more confused about what's happening than what i was on the start, you can even disconsider what happens on the first episode, because as a first episode it fails miserably, they don't properly introduce us about anything crucial in the story and world, nor give us any hook other than ... the main protagonist being the only human a demi-human world, and only on the second and third episode they actually introduce hooks and motivations, but even then its all mixed up with several other unrelated topics that makes this feels like an out of order/out of direction complex mess.

Its even worse considering that the thing they were supposed to introduce, elaborate and contextualize early on, from the first episode, still haven't received any kind of proper build up, the sword attuning/spirit thing that feels like its going to be a major event/tie, motivation for story development, progress, reasoning, etc. By the third episode i only know that people in this world really, really like their swords for some unknown reason.

I can't keep watching this because it feels like i'm being forced to do their own hard work, linking and tying things properly in my head, when the people that was responsible for properly introducing, producing and directing this didn't cared enough to do their jobs. Its kinda sad to say that, because if things happen like i imagined in my head, this was supposed to be a very promising show, with some very interesting concepts and developments, but they just fumbled it all down.

This is just an Arifureta clone, but bad

Several generic isekai tropes, bad writing, emotionless characters, low quality drawing and poorly made 2D/3D animation, and you have this atrocity, with the only "strong" point being some relatively nice visuals in very specific areas, but even then, several other scenarios look empty soulless. On everything else, they don't even tried, this thing feels, looks and smells like mediocrity, like if it was pumped directly from a factory. From character design, world building, motivations and conflicts, ... all summed up with low quality writing, and some tone deaf decisions.

Just to make it all worse, this feels like something where they attempted and overcommit into having a serious tone, and failed miserably, so you can't even make an Arifureta like turnaround, and retreat into an easy comedy/parody of sorts, because they wrote themselves into a dead end.

Watching anything, literally anything this was based off or copied from, will be a better investment of time than watching this.

Young boy has a simple life goal of throwing a ball the farthest as possibly can, by convenience of destiny he end up meeting with a professional golfer, who notices a special potential in the young boy. The golfer then tells him that by golfing he may be able to fulfill his life goals. We then start his journey of learning how to golf, meeting several other golfers, golf therms, tactics, strategies, etc; Watching the boy progress and learn new abilities to fulfill his objectives.

This is a light heart show, most of the mood and humor being dictated by the naive way the boy views ... the world and tries to complete his life goals, always with strong heart and determinate, not only to progress, but also help others in the way, even the ill intended ones. It's one of those who "warms the heart" but without being too much sentimental or dramatized, is more simple and direct than complex, what makes sense being from the point of view of a young boy's dreams.

The side characters also not lacking in any aspect, each one fighting their own separate demons to hit their life goals, some of then just lacking a bit more backstory to link some pieces together, but other then that, each one sums very well with the main protagonist, teaching and learning alongside him, and adding new perspectives to the way they view and play golf.

Its a simple show that looks very promising and interesting into knowing what will happen next on his adventures

This is one of those types of anime that focuses on moments of exposition about some topic, drinks and beverages, and the bartending role in this case, while trying to create some kind of story around those moments of exposition, and i don't think it worked, actually most of those animes don't work, unless they don't make it all about exposition, and this one failed miserably at that.

There are lots of anime that do this kind of formula in interesting ways, and several other that commit the same mistake. Mostly often they over focus on the exposition topic, being food, science, etc; and leave it ... lacking in any other aspect of story, character development and world building, creating some repetitive routines and becoming stale and boring very fast.

A big one that does this well it's Doctor Stone, having its moments of exposition, but relying on the actual now and then of the story, even when focused on the scientific development. Another great one is Paripi Koumei, aka "Ya Boy Kongming!", related to the topics of music/entertainment shows management, mixed with an strategist of the 3 kingdoms era helping a young star on her career; A last good one is Thermae Romae Novae, even tho it wasn't that well received, it focuses on the comedy and overreaction of the main protagonist when dealing with modern designs and architecture of Thermas, without creating long moments of tedious explanation and talking.

That all said, Bartender: Kami no Glass still have another great problem, it lacks emotion. Almost every character feels stale and lacks the proper facial expression for the scenes and moments they are acting in, that's an even bigger problem when the anime already don't have an interesting hook in the story, and the exposition about drinks and bartending don't do that well of a work when mixed in with the story.

The mystery of who could enter next in Isekay Shokudou, and the overreaction when people ate things in Shokugeki no Souma did a better work, even when getting strongly repetitive and stale, feeling a lot more immersive and interesting than the boring inexpressive way that this anime does this formula, all because of the characters personality and the general aura of these shows, this is even more ironic when the Bartender says something about "your drink lacking personality". Just a Mid Class disappointment...
