Leo Rates Anime

An epic isekai with an office worker reincarnated inside a VR MMORPG as a overpowered undead sorcerer of evil. Living in his guild fortress where all monsters and NPCs are his loyal underlings, feared by humans. He campaigns to find the other guild members, his old friends, in the game world. Everything that other isekai anime with OP MCs are not, that is: good. The unparalleled power of One Punch Man with the teacher-figure of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu . 36 episodes total, 3 seasons, partial adaptation of a novel. 10/10★ - The most epic anti-hero anime. Strengths: bad guys thinking they're strong and getting obliterated, dynamic between the main character and the underlings that look up to him. Weakness: the overarching plot moves very slowly, so it's probably never going to be concluded, though the arcs are enjoyable.. Incredibly satisfying to watch. The main character carries the show by doing his part well, being competent, considerate, and at the same time very hu...

An isekai  harem of an overpowered bland self-insert teenager who used to be an adult game-developer corporate-slave until one day he got exhausted from overwork and died by truck-kun , err, I mean, safely went to sleep and woke up in his game world? Probably the same thing as Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni.  but I dropped that one first episode so I wouldn't know for sure. 12 episode partial light novel adaptation. 1/10★ - Enragingly mediocre. Strength: dirt cheap pet-slave-girl moe , if you are into that. Weaknesses: nauseatingly self-insert MC that will give you brain cancer, obnoxiously unexciting writing. Incomprehensibly bad. Worst main character I've ever seen. That this source story got an adaptation is honestly mind-boggling; anything else would have been likely a better alternative. Today I find myself asking: what makes a good protagonist? Whether lawful good or chaotic evil, motivated or lazy, heroically sympathetic or mind-my-own-business apathetic...

A lazy soldier with magic-copying eyes fear-hated for bringing upon destruction and a female knight go around killing cruel, heartless villains while in a secret mission from their war-disliking king-friend who just took the throne, loved by his people, hated by evil nobles, that's to search the continent for long forgotten super-powerful items used by ancient heroes to make world peace real. In a way, similar to Akame ga Kill . 24 episode partial adaptation of a light novel. 7/10★ - Fun, pretty and quite badass, but a mess of a story. Strengths: lazy mage x female knight OTP, seriousness. Weaknesses: plot advances at a crawl, repetitive and utterly confusing. Comic villains laughing maniacally will make your eyes roll, but these bad guys can actually kill, make people bleed, and the fights have impact, they're epic, serious, satisfying. The main couple dynamic is enjoying to watch. So it's unfortunate that the overarching plot is an unholy mess. By the first...

The mystical story of Phosphophyllite, a genderless gem-person, aloof and weak, that breaks apart easily, but nevertheless immortal; the pieces can be glued back. Living in an island together with other gems and their sensei , constantly battling against the "moon people" who want to take their precious gem-flesh back to the moon. It has an air of Shinsekai Yori . 12 episode partial adaptation of a manga. 9/10★ - Intriguing, beautiful, and sometimes stunningly horrifying. Strengths: characters development, characterization, excellent use of 3D. It's different from other anime at a fundamental level: the characters don't bleed, they shatter. With that as starting point, it develops into a wondrous melancholy. You know they can't die, but you can't help but feel apprehensive, specially for the useless main character that set out to be useful. This series is a perfect fit for its 3D. Characters don't just have a same face, they have a same body....

An  isekai  with an overpowered main character joining the underdog faction. Battles are "Gift games" with conditions for victory-defeat, and everybody has special abilities, called "gifts." Full of cockiness and "that can't be! How are you so OP?!" everywhere. It's a mix of One Punch Man and No Game No Life . 10 episode partial adaptation of a light novel. 7/10★ - Has its moments, but feels lacking. Strength: cocky overpowered MC. Weaknesses: plot, world-building. Although enjoyable and rather refreshing, with an unique cast, world and system, it doesn't have anything truly special to set it apart from the many other monster-of-the-arc anime, so it might leave you unsatisfied. The premise gives the expectation that the mondaiji , the "problem children," are all overpowered and would easily topple the Little Garden they just set foot in. That, would be epic, is what you think as you watch the guy show off how unbalance...
