Rating: 4.5 (of 5) Ryu is unquestionably a killer. However, she only kills people in the cause of vengeance, so whacking an informant isn’t her style. How moral it is to kill for vengeance is another matter, but that delineation that Bell insists on having spelled out, combine with him realizing what the item heContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV
Rating: B+ Just from animated content, we know that Ryu once lost everything – her whole familia – and that one particular rival familia was responsible. In retribution, she did everything she could to wipe out that familia – here identified as Rudra* Familia, a part of Evilus (mentioned not in this series but inContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 9
Rating: 3 (of 5) I was slightly in error last week. While this mini arc isn’t in the novels, it actually is not anime-original, either; it did appear in the manga adaptation (which I have not read beyond the first volume). That does not make this any less of a two-episode filler arc, but itContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 9”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 8
Rating: B- This episode represents a very odd decision in what has otherwise been a solid adaptation so far. While part of one of the episode’s early scenes – where the Devils return to their repaired home and Ashiya makes the comment about the faucet being fixed – is at the beginning of novel 5,Continue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 8”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? episode 7
Rating: B+ Whether goddesses or adventurers, Guild workers or waitresses, DanMachi has never lacked for sexy female characters amongst its recurring cast. While fan service has never been a focus of the series, DanMachi has also not lacked for opportunities to let its diverse cast of beauties show off; in fact, it has periodically manufacturedContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? episode 7”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 6
Rating: 4 In the original novels, the downtime between the Moss Huge part of this arc and Ryu part of the arc is an epilogue that amounts to only five pages. That doesn’t allow anywhere near enough content to make a full episode, so that the revelation about what Ryu is seemingly up to canContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 6”
The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 7
Rating: B As expected, a crisis is afoot involving the demonic appearances, and as some of the characters started to suspect last episode, Olba is connected to it. In the end, though, resolving the demon part of this affair seemed anticlimatic compared to the indications at near the end of the episode about who andContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer!! episode 7”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 5
Rating: A- Over the course of the franchise, Bell Cranel has fought a number of epic battles, but in most of those he has been fighting from the underdog position. The circumstances are always desperate, the foe is always stronger, and the look of grim determination is always on his face. But not this time.Continue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episode 5”
The Devil is a Part-Timer! episode 5
Rating: B That there would be major consequences for one wall of the “Devil’s Castle” getting blown out last episode stood to reason, as this series just doesn’t hand-wave details like that. Hence, that the devils and Suzuno would be temporarily evicted while landlord Mikitty had repairs done was to be expected. What wasn’t expectContinue reading “The Devil is a Part-Timer! episode 5”
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episodes 3-4
Rating: B+ Among the other series that I am still following this season is Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World, which I’m sticking with mostly to see if an isekai series where sex is a core element can actually amount to anything. Even though DanMachi is not an isekai series, both are still RPG-drivenContinue reading “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV episodes 3-4”
