Better episode that’s funnier but probably has worse writing tbh. Why is she randomly leaving just because of the boy? Why can’t Dae just fucking explain, I know at the end of the episode she gets it but still. At least those tropes are gone now.
6/10
This episode was much better than the last and included many interesting reveals. The reveal of the Earth being an alternate dimension was not revealed this early…… wtf
7/10
I read half of the book before coming to watch the show instead because the book didn’t interest me too much. Seeing everything visualized is much more interesting to me idk I guess my imagination is cooked. This is a good introduction though that made some aspects more and less interesting to the book. Probably about the same level as the book so far.
6/10
Another good episode, and I am really liking Ruby honestly. The guy being an ass was not unexpected, but I wonder what kinda havoc Aqua will start.
8/10
Entertaining, but the comedy is kinda hit or miss. Sometimes it is also a little too over the top.
7/10
Little boring near beginning, but I really like the dad character and his backstory.
7/10
Better episode with interesting fights and deeper looks into the characters.
8/10
Great animation, but nothing surprising coming from Mappa. The premise seems interesting and the monsters seem pretty cool, so I’m excited to see what they will discover in this new land.
7/10
This episode was completely different from the last episode (the 2nd half specifically), but I still enjoyed it quite a lot. I'm not surprised tbh because I was still deeply engaged during the first half of the last episode. The entertainment industry is going to be super interesting to dive deep down into, and I'm excited to see this idol group. I'm happy that the director will still be in the show because I liked his character, and I am excited to see that dynamic build between him and Aqua.
Seeing Aqua stopping Ruby from joining the group was kinda foul but also totally understandable. I am rooting for Ruby in hopes she will grow into becoming a big star, though there are obvious concerns. Aqua will probably (hopefully) end up trying to become an actor, which is what I am hoping for since it will be interesting to see him join that field. Though, this small process of his warming up to that idea makes more sense.
Overall, great episode, and I am actually annoyed how I have to wait weekly for this.
8/10
Much better and more tense episode where there are some more stakes now
8/10
Superb acting and moments throughout this film. The best part of the movie is all of the therapy scenes in my opinion. Though the parts outside of it help build character and reveal more about Will, the most interesting and enjoyable parts are the therapy bits. Another great moment is when Chuckie tells Will about his opportunity. This movie actually made me think about being good at something, but not wanting to do it. Though, the movie doesn't really explore it that much because most of the exploring is done on Will and him opening up to others. There are some scenes with Sean and Gerald discussing all of these things, which I also found intriguing, but it stops there and never develops further. I mean I guess it does. Will finally takes his opportunity, but then at the very end throws it away. So, I am kinda confused about how all of that works out. The ending and movie itself are more about Will opening up to others instead of his opportunities and acknowledging his ability IMO. To me, the ending showed Will giving up his opportunity and friends and going all the way over to meet some girl he knew for a little. I guess Will could eventually come back and even get a job there, but it was weird. That is why I am overall confused with this movie. I probably didn't understand it too well, but that was my experience. Despite all of that, I found it very intriguing to think about these different aspects, and it was also a very well-made film.

Some wholesome moments in this episode, but again writing issues are here. How the fuck does Bojji do that??? I know they said earlier in the season but Bojji being the strongest person in the world makes it harder to root for him now because his underdog Story is basically gone. I’m glad the conflict didn’t continue in the basement and that there wasn’t any forgiveness from Bojji. When they’re eventually redeemed it will feel so bland though because they’ve really done nothing so far and it barely shows any effort from them except for begging. Like there’s hardly any questioning and reflection. Just pitying……..
7/10
Random confusion and battles and frustrating moments make this hard to enjoy at times. Also, Domas has been completely ruined for me. Firstly, there was hardly any development from him. They spent barely any time on him and everything feels rushed but the show is also slowly going. Bruh.
7/10
I loved Kage and Hiling meeting up it was very nice. I love the group that’s currently at the castle that are working together. Still, why can Hiling heal so much, it’s a little annoying and ruins the stakes. Also, that big guy was redeemed so fast for no reason even though he almost killed 2 of Bojjis friend like wtf??
8/10
Some more buildup
7/10
Liking the show less and less sadly :(
7/10
Probably my least favorite episode so far because Bojji is starting to seem less like an underdog and more overpowered. The reason why I rooted for Bojji so hard is because I thought there would be many struggles to come, but I just realized he will probably one shot from now on. Also his crying getting a little old ngl.
8/10
Great scenes here with Bojji, Kage, and Despa. I lost faith in Despa for a moment, but I loved seeing that he was not bluffing all along.
8/10
No Bojji this episode, but I still like the characters and their backstories! This is ganna start to get very sad when characters start dying... Hopefully that doesn't happen anytime soon.
8/10
What. A. Episode.
This makes me so fucking hype for everything to come. I see this becoming one of my favorite anime of all time after this episode because the story and characters are so deep and rich to me. So much complexity between the characters and so much emotion behind everything. I feel like I understand where every character comes from and their struggles. Bosse looked evil at first but seeing him do everything for Bojji and care for him is so nice, but it is kinda expected with the reveal that he took all his power. It makes me sad for Bojji, but it even pushes me further to root for him with everything he is going to fight for. I mean, he is now the strongest in the world even after losing all of that power. So much stuff is now being laid out for future events. This cast, this story, AHHHHGHGHGHHG. BOJJI, IM ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!
9/10
I love this trio so much, it feels like it’s going to be a sad thing when Bojji has to depart though. Judging by that end, this changing bodies has been going on for a while or something. It seems intriguing but confusing.
8/10
There’s so much more mystery in this show than I first expected

That final scene was heartbreaking even though Bojji wasn’t dead ;(

Domas the biggest fucker ever

The backstory was so sad for Kage, it made me like him and appreciate him more. I’m excited for what’s to come!

My god I have a feeling I’m going to start crying a bunch

It was funny and interesting at times, but it is a huge mess that leaves nothing for me to love from it. Many stupid decisions, many annoying and unrewarding characters, and many confusing decisions regarding treating others in specific ways despite the way they just fucked you over. The way multiple cliches blend together with bad, very very bad writing. The attempt at a comedy horror fails at giving off a good vibe that matches. There are many things to drag this film despite its enjoyability at times. Not rewarding or intriguing really in any way either. It's left so ambiguous and mysterious that I don't feel like tackling any theories and the questions I had regarding the material are gone after 5 minutes. I will only remember this movie because I watched it with friends. Other than that, I genuinely feel I will confuse this movie with similar ones in the future. This mess is jumbled, incomprehensible somewhat just like this review that has things thrown around. I still can't give it anything less than a 4 though due to the scenario and times where the comedy and intrigue hit. Final final thing: The shaky camera was so fucking annoying it was hard to focus on anything, especially when used 100% of the time. And the forcing of it was obnoxious as they had to constantly take the camera for no fucking reason. Bruh.

This was actually a really fun movie to watch! It reminded me a lot of the Founder except the main character was definitely more enjoyable. I really liked how it had all of these aspects of business, politics, and gaming in one. Very intriguing and heartfelt too!

This show was super entertaining that I almost finished it in one day, but I needed to sleep eventually since I had school the next day.
The first episode started off like the movie Kick-Ass, which now has me itching for something very similar. Eventually, it turns into a funky isekai that is actually pretty cool. The anime truly embraces cliches and it is super self-aware. I really enjoyed all of the shenanigans and the acting from Cid and his dominance. However, I do have one big critique, and it is not necessarily with the show itself but in the ln/manga or whatever. Spoilers for ln/manga: That is how Cid never really develops. Now I'm not entirely familiar with this information as I only researched a little, but Cid barely cares for others. I find this a little annoying because I feel like it will eventually get repetitive, and it was already starting to get a tiny bit repetitive. . Overall, it was very entertaining, but obviously not a masterpiece or anything like that. It knows what it wants to be and delivers.

Edit: Since the anime got less interesting near the ending, I decided to lessen the score because I don't think it was deserving of an 8.
