    Overrated but its alright.

    It's not boring or critically annoying, but it's not that good either.....

    I like logic and consistency in my entertainment, and this show is rather illogical and inconsistent, not that much but enough to be noticed.....

    At this point, I'm tired of romance in anime that does not lead to a romantic relationship, you have characters ogling each other for 12 episodes and in the end there's nothing...

    The plot is overly basic and mostly childish, a lot of time is wasted on rubbish, they should have made a movie instead.

    The graphics are good, but I really didn't like the hair in the face gimmick.

    Oy would anybody take me Star Wars realm

    Ye know when comes the isekai genre is hard to find the most enjoying n entertaining.

    Following those random tropes that we all know love, some re silly, those that re hard to execute, now fame MAPPA experiment with full depth character n dazzling visuals.

    Here review:

    Zenchu premise like any other isekai revolving around of egotistical n obsesive compulsive artist name Netzuko having accomplished what most can do one year.

    So to make short she it some rotten shrimp, dying in the process, taking her to the world of her favorite anime Nine Warriors meeting her heroes, one been the hero Luke fighting the good fight against the insects like invader the void. Knowing her world's struggle to start been social n nice taking advantage of their quality n talents but the tension that Luke n Netzuko is perfect romcom they have from beginning to end. Seen the ending she knows how things gonna turn out, so she always on top to keep him busy.

    Offering lots depth from the other cast from the lizard men being the consius of the anime, the unicorn the comedic relief, they all play well on the daily life of the animator, Coming from renoun MAPPA visuals re awesome from when Netzuko start drawing to saving the day, to the variety horde of voids come vibrant n lightning fast deliver.

    So conclude awesome n pitch perfect for isekai anime, that really follows the tropes but give us a well study character.

    First for me seen someone cover with her hair, ke hell bro?

    Beautiful, comedic, action, romance, dark anime

    I loved this anime and how it was comedic, action, and with a hint of romance, it was just so cute! The visuals, too, are amazing. I could literally eat this anime! I wasn't expecting the dark turn the anime had but I'm pleasantly surprised! It really created such a thorough story and it makes me want to keep rewatching it! If you are wondering if you should watch it I 10/10 believe you should! The first episode was good, but if you don't know about it after watching the first, watch the second one and the rest because you will be HOOKED!! Oh shoot I need more characters to submit! Lol but yeah watch it!

    Unexpected diamond in the rough

    Going into this anime I thought I wouldn't like it because episode one we didn't see her face once! But every episode we see her face more and more and the idea around it connecting to their relationship is way too cute. I loved this anime for what is was even a few episodes in and now as the newest episodes come out the anime is shocking with crazy cliffhangers!! And just like more 12 episode animes it took a dark turn which was actually really nice because it added so much more depth to the anime. I love the relationships and the comedy aspects while they still keep the plot of saving the world it's very well written and well paced! Will definitely be rewatching! I've watched so many animes and I'd definitely say it's one of my favorites!

    Unique Anime and best graphic

    My expectation was that this anime was about making anime, but after watching the main character, he ended up in his favorite movie world because he was poisoning, but what's unique about this anime is that the MC gets the power of images after entering his favorite movie world and The graphics of this anime are very pleasing to the eye because it was made by Mappa Studio and this is their original anime. The story also gets more and more exciting and interesting and I always wait to see what picture Natsuko Hirose will draw next and i always wait for the love story of luke and natsuko hirose.
