Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (Season 2)

A little more Serious this time, with some interesting twists. Havee irked me a first, but I like what did to justify his quirks. Not half bad for season 2.

Keeping it at 3.5 Stars

ZENSHU

HOLY SHIT! This was Amazing. Great Cast, Well-Paced Story, and a great look at how the Story is written (and re-written) by the one with the pen. I loved every minute of this.

FUCK IT! FIVE STARS!

DEMON LORD 2099

Loved the Story, cast was fun, and had a few good twists to it. Nice to have more of a Futuristic Fantasy thing this go around. Made for a good change of pace.

*Currently Watching another anime*

Oh, this looks interesting, cool setting, nice Fish-out-of-water thing going on... Wait... WHAT THE HECK IS TOKOYAMI TOWA DOING THERE!?

... I'm sure some of you already know what I'm watching just based on that.

BONUS: Overlord - The Sacred Kingdom

Good little Side-Movie. It's got some good action and drama, and fun to see Ains play his Chess Game, and convert another kingdom to his cause. Plus, another Pleidies gets their time to shine.

4 Stars as well

Overlord (Season IV)

DAMN this got good. Ain's Villain Arc is in full swing, and we get a Massive body count by the end. There's also some new twists to keep things going. It's back on it's A-Game after Season 3

Maoyu

Got a very "Spice and Wolf" vibe from this series, which is never a bad thing. Cast was fun, a LOT of depth to the characters, and Plenty of Fun. TOTALLY needs a Second Season.

Good Bye, Dragon Life

Pretty Simple Reincarn Story. It was a bit boring at first, but admittedly, the last few episodes salvaged it with some interesting twists. Overall, not half-bad.

Fluffy Paradise

Cute as hell Isekai. The Cast is wonderful, and the fact even Kobolds are adorable Doggos makes it a pure Floof-Fest. If you need a Cute Fix, this will cover that and then some.

Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout

Funny as hell, with a lot of good depth to the cast. Just the right amount of cringe to be enjoyable, without being annoying. If you go into this expecting a comedy, you won't be disappointed.

Quality Assurance in Another World

Was a good story, had a decent cast, and was an alright watch. BUT THEN IT ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER! A Bad one at that. That killed it for me. I left very unsatisfed.

Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs

A lot better than I expected. It's Silly, but there's some good depth and development with the cast. Needs a Season 2 to answer a few things, but I enjoyed this one either way.

#AnimeTakeover

Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Rewatch, and just as bad as I remember. The Story is Cringy as hell, and the cast is SUPER annoying. They try to justify things at the end, but by then, it's way too late.

2 Stars, generously.

Knights & Magic

An Isekai with GIant Robots AND Magic? SIGN ME UP! The Story was solid, a great cast, especially Ernesti with his unbridled enthusiasm, and some decent Mech Fights. Can't Really complain here.

If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord

Cute little SOL Fantasy Series. Fun little Cast, and a minor bit of depth to it, though not a lot. I'd say it's a fun little popcorn anime, at the very least

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!

I LOVE the chemistry between the mains. The story is well paced, and seeing her use her past knowledge to set things in motion works perfect. Needs a Season 2 ASAP.

4.5 Stars

#AnimeTakeover

I can understand that. It's why I gave it a Gold Seal, since I think most people will enjoy it regardless. The Stars are just my personal enjoyment.

Refer to this Thread about how I rate these things: bsky.app/profile/john...

TFW you watch the first episode of an anime, and you can tell IMMEDIATELY you're gonna put it down. The Low Rating on CR should have been a giant red flag.

Goblin Slayer

Yeah, the Meme is real. He's really that single-minded, but the story does good in explaining why. Solid Cast, good pacing, and plenty of room for more. Not a half-bad series, honestly. Just gotta get past that shocker first EP.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy (Season 2)

If you liked Season 1, you won't be disappointed. The Cast remains fun, the story is still very engaging, and Anos is as badass as ever. Some good twists this time as well.

An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride

Cute little Fantasy Rom-Com. The cast was fun, and there were some fun twists to the story. Not half-bad for a One-and-done, but a second Season wouldn't be unwelcome.

Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion

Decent Romance Isekai. Clearly setup for a Season 2, so if it gets one, it might make the story work better, but on it's own it's alright. Romance felt a bit forced for me, but not too badly.

One thing to note with my #AnimeTakeover Posts: There are quite a few Anime I pickup, but never finish, due to various Reasons

I won't be Rating those, cause it's unfair. They may get better worse later, and not all the reasons for pausing are bad, and I may go back later to finish them.

A Playthrough of a Certain Dude's VRMMO Life

Pretty basic MMO story. I did like some aspects of the story, and the cast was fine, albiet a little annoying at times. Decent Popcorn Anime, but clearly needs a season 2.

Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools

Decent Isekai SOL series. Kind of a Slow Burn, and clearly needs at least a second Season, but there's potential there. The Romance between the mains feels natural at least, if a bit slow.

The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest

Meh. Kind of boring, to be honest. Nothing we haven't seen a 100 times before. Not really worth it, imho.

#AnimeTakeover

It's a Rather Niche Subgenre, so it's not that surprising. It does seem like more is coming, but for now, it's not a lot. But it surprising how good their batting average is for good series.

No Joke, this is the FIFTH Otome Isekai I've Reviewed, and ALL of them have been Gold Seals.

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss But I'm Not the Demon Lord

Really good Otome Isekai. Loved some of the Twists, and the cast were all great. Damn, how did this sub-genre get so many winners.

THE NEW GATE

Not half bad. Nothing Mind-Blowing, but the cast was interesting, and there's some fun questions to be answered. This needs more Seasons, but it's not a bad start.
