If you only watch one fantasy yuri series this season about a rich blonde tsundere and the unabashedly forward maid who keeps declaring her passionate love…this one probably wouldn’t be my first pick.
I’m happy to report that as long as you’re familiar with the tropes of magical girl team shows, the broad strokes of this excellent episode still land, even without easy access to the show it originates from.
Unless you are also someone with terminal Yoko Taro brainworms, this is not an anime for you.
A strong entry in the “fantastical infrastructure” subgenre, though the creative team raises a few eyebrows.
Strangely beautiful, compellingly weird, often funny, and a deserving tribute after its author’s tragically early passing.
We spoke with Watari about his wonderful trash girl heroine Chitose, adapting The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady, and his future plans.
To properly summarize this show, I need to be bouncing up and down on a sugar high at daycare.
Really gotta give this one buttfor.
There are two things that piqued my interest about The Gene of AI: its framing of technological progression and the relative restraint of its writing.
Mark “ruining the opportunity for a perfectly serviceable cat-based iyashikei” down as yet another reason this season is shaping up cursed.
Having committed the ceremonial lowering of the bar that’s required before watching the average seasonal isekai, I would like to report that this premiere is….fine.
A better production might have elevated it to the heights of “lower tier acceptable shounen rom-com.”
Just a bag of police brutality-flavored yikes.
Dead Mount Death Play has managed to put so many conceptual hats on top of one another that it’s come round to being kind of entertaining.
There are glimmers of interesting thought here, but not enough to keep the show from collapsing under the burden of its own premise.
Do you like watching cute animal videos?
Magical Destroyers is simultaneously A Lot and very little at all.
Nothing bums me out quite like shows with unrealized ambition.
I would rather chew off my own fingernails than watch another episode of The Legendary Hero is Dead. Or someone’s fingernails, anyway.
Some wonders cannot be described, only seen.
