Good first season, lacking second season. There's a lot going for this anime even if it's disappointing by the end. More shows need scantily clad girls marooned on desert islands as a plot device like this one does. (Overall: Okay)

2024-12-23T20:15:09.128141-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:area-88-tv

An updated take on an anime I consider a classic but fumbles most of it to become fairly average. Interesting for those into fighter jets but hard to recommend to anyone else. (Overall: Okay)

Finally an anime that lives up to the trapped in a game concept. Not exactly high budget, but worth looking past some flaws. (Overall: Good)

Not just a cutie, but a cute show all the same (Overall: Okay)

2022-10-25T00:40:44.732861-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:ive-been-killing-slimes-for-300-years

A fantasy show in another world, but mainly gets by due to its cute heroin. That aside pretty typical and meandering with only so-so stories. (Overall: Okay)

2022-09-18T21:33:58.163968-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:fruit-of-evolution

An anime which isn't about much of anything, with a main character that evolves even if the anime itself is a step backwards in coherency (devolution) (Overall: Sucks)

2022-03-18T00:22:38.718628-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:higehiro

A guy lets a high school girl stay with him and drama ensues. Lesson of the day: Don't pick up strays. (Overall: Meh)

2021-08-08T17:57:05.771963-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:iwakakeru

An okay sports anime with some good characters but otherwise kind of forgettable. (Overall: Meh)

2021-07-09T21:51:55.710942-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:polyphonica

One of those weird shows with very different ideas I wished actually went somewhere. (Overall: Weak)

2021-05-23T20:01:19.604855-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:back-street-girls

When the idols are yakuza members that had a sex change, you know this is anything but "just another idol anime". (Overall: Good)

2021-05-22T20:49:35.7174-08:00 scythe.net:archen,aap-reviews:in-another-world-with-my-smartphone

Generic harem anime that hardly involves a smart phone like the title suggests. Not terrible but feels low effort. (Overall: Weak)
