Pig Isekai made the mistake of being a male villain isekai.

if it was a pig villainess isekai, people would eat it up.

This is why Gundam Evolution failed. No anime to go with it.

how common is this, a korean webtoon getting a japanese anime treatment. I guess the previous thing I can think of is Tower of God.
and oh no..its Arvo Animation, isn't that the same studio that had the machine translation subs for that other show...

the webtoon is above average, although i think it loses its spark later. the protagonist strikes a good balance early on where he's highly talented but not brokenly overpowered, and a lot of his effort goes into helping his teammates rather than bulldozing through everything himself, so it doesn't become as insufferably cult-of-personality as other reincarnation isekai stories tend to

I really liked Returner Should Be Special's MC gimmick in that he's actually very weak mana wise, but he's a good analysis and magic code breaker. Wish they used that to carry it a bit longer till they outright nerf'd him barely after one arc

can't imagine it ever working in the US though. brick and mortar tabletop and card game stores are hanging from a cliff with one hand as it is. and don't really trust the average US person with handling public computers responsibly.

There was also Raeliana in the Duke's Mansion or whatever from a few seasons back. Although that one's in the villainess reincarnation subgenre of korean webtoons.

Did anifem provide any reasoning for why Under Ninja was bad or nationalist propaganda?

With how well Shangri-la Frontier did in its opening episode in drawing in interest as well as the upcoming yuri gaming anime, GGWP: Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, I can see this getting some traction.

One of the reviewers on Anime News Network said they weren't sure if Migi & Dali was horror or comedy so I watched it and it instantly clicked that it was "creepy twins" played for laughs.

Pretty good show. I will watch more of it. Very sad about the manga author's passing.

That's my review for episode one. Please pay me to review anime because I can apparently do a much better job than that guy.

Looking at the ENTIRE body of anime reviewing, that is an incredibly miniscule bar to pass. But based on your AV Ithink you definitely deserve the job.

Having a show about how cool Japanese ninja are, featuring a scene with a buffoonish foreigner, speaks to the inherent nationalism of its premise and likely direction of the entire series. :jerkbag:

sucks to be right
Potion-danomi de Ikinobimasu!/I Shall Survive Using Potions! episode 1: the gods accidentally cause the death of Kaoru Nagase and can't revive her on Earth so they offer to send her to fantasy isekai world instead, and she accepts on the condition that they give her a bunch of OP skills: the ability to instantly create any potion in any container, and the 'item box' skill with infinite capacity. Even with these advantages she instantly gets kidnapped by the local lord who intends to profit off her potions and she has to come up with an inventive way to use her skills to escape.

This reminded me a lot of Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement in that the protag instantly tries to create a shoddy fake cover story to fool everyone and comes up with needlessly complicated plans to get out of her predicaments when she could have used her powers to fix everything much more easily and simply. In this episode she made an excuse to have a specific maid visit her room at night, and then used her skills to roofie the maid, steal her clothes, change her own hair colour & eye colour to match the maid and then walked out. She could have just made a 'walk through walls' potion or 'turn into a bird for 15 minutes' potion and escaped immediately.

I'll give it the 3 episode test :shrug:

VR games have become mainstream and along with it, both quality of games AND the amount of shovelware have increased. MC is a guy who dedicates his time to playing those janky shovelware games and has massively honed his skills due to having to account for those issues like wonky hitboxes, invisible enemies, input lag, etc.. After his most recent conquest, he gets recommended an actual NOT poo poo game to tackle that's been making waves so he and his friends(a model who games on the side and is the stereotypical gaming sociopath, an MLG gamer who is a local celeb in the fighting game scene, a girl from his school who's secretly crushing on him, and two robot game fans)gives it a whack. It's a VRMMO series written by someone who actually plays videogames and understands the appeal of videogames across the board from the casuals to the hardcore games and gamers. It got a ton of posts on the two isekai threads as well as the thread about favorite manga panels.
