Rating: B One thing that this franchise is not known for is being plot-intensive; while it does have writing continuity from episode to episode, it rarely has much of anything for an ongoing plot outside of the movie – and even then the plot is pretty thin. That’s why it’s a bit surprising to seeContinue reading “Isekai Quartet 3, episode 6”

Isekai Quartet 3 episode 5
Rating: A- This episode features the debut of a supporting character who, in retrospect, has been conspicuously absent from this eccentric mix: Motoyasu Kitamura, the Spear Hero from The Rising of the Shield Hero setting. And more so than most other characters in this setting, his behavior here requires some explanation. Based on both behavioralContinue reading “Isekai Quartet 3 episode 5”
Isekai Quartet 3 episode 3
Rating: B If there was any doubt after last episode that Shadow and his underlings would perfectly blend in with the established oddball crew, this episode should allay those concerns, at least in the case of Cid/Shadow. (The Seven Shadows don’t appear at all, nor does anyone else from Class 1.) And like last episode,Continue reading “Isekai Quartet 3 episode 3”
Apoclaypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 13 (Season Finale)
Episode Rating: B- Season Rating: B Both subjectively and objectively speaking, this is not one of the season’s top-tier series, especially given the level of competition it had. (The Summer 2025 season is widely being regarded as one of the stronger recent seasons, an assertion that I am ambivalent about.) Even at its best, itsContinue reading “Apoclaypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 13 (Season Finale)”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 12
Rating: B This episode may not have the action elements that the previous two episodes (especially episode 11) had, but it nonetheless delivers a far greater and sharper punch, partly by solving two mysteries and delivering tantalizing hints of a new and much bigger one. The first (and more short-term) of the two mysteries isContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 12”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 11
Rating: B- This episode once again reminds us that action scenes are never going to be this franchise’s forté. Thankfully, some other interesting developments are afoot here to help carry the entertainment load. At least this episode tries to put some “oomph” in its action scenes, as the battle between Isla and Demon General FlaminContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 11”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, episode 10
Rank: B Conceptually speaking, this is one of the most intriguing episodes of any series so far this season. With a single revelation, the writing adds a novel twist to the basic “transported to a game world” concept and partly upends the whole foundation of the series, while also explaining away some seeming inconsistencies inContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, episode 10”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 9
Rating: B After how, ahem, “eccentric” the Brain Eaters proved to be, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Isla, Queen of Bugs, once she finally got summoned. Would she be similarly twisted by the evil alignment of Mynoghra? I’m pretty sure I wasn’t expecting her to be everyone’s kindly grandmother, however. Isla having anContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 9”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 7
Rating: B This episode leaves us with one burning question: how does Atou know enough about a traditional Western marriage ceremony to dream about it when Takuto all but proposes to her at the end of the episode? Granted, this could just be the production staff being cute and playing off a common stereotype forContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 7”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, episode 5
Rating: B- So far this series has largely been able to avoid its relatively weak technical effort hindering its entertainment value, a feat it has accomplished by exploiting striking visual gimmickry. It attempts to do the same in this episode, too, but it can only mask so much when what should be the most action-orientedContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, episode 5”
