Isekai Quartet 3, episode 10

Episode Rating: B It’s finally time for the music festival! This being Isekai Quartet, naturally the performances weren’t going to go off without the final boss showing up and a fight breaking out. It’s so expected at this point that hardly anyone in Class 2 even seems fazed by it. In fact, they take itContinue reading “Isekai Quartet 3, episode 10”

Isekai Quartet 3, episode 8

Rating: B- With all of the isekai groups trapped in a modern school setting, the series was bound to get around to one of the great and most crippling distractions of the modern world sooner or later: addictive online and/or mobile games. While this episode features an MMORPG, this is an issue doubtless familiar toContinue reading “Isekai Quartet 3, episode 8”

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)”

SERIES REVIEW: Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World

I was not originally planning to give a separate review for this series as a whole, but this is easily the most underrated and underappreciated series I saw in the Winter 2025 season, so I’m doing this review in part to call attention to the merits of a series which is more unconventional than itContinue reading “SERIES REVIEW: Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World”

2023 in Review: The Best and Strangest of the Year

As we say good-bye to 2023, it’s time to take a look at the highlights of the year as a whole, rather than just individual seasons. And my, this was a very full year, with over 190 series either debuting or getting new installments this year! The Fall 2023 season was the biggest and deepestContinue reading “2023 in Review: The Best and Strangest of the Year”

Summer 2023 Mid-Season Isekai Round-Up

Published: 8/21/2023 The Summer season features seven isekai titles and one reverse-isekai title. I have followed six of these beyond the first episode (the exceptions being Sweet Reincarnation and The Great Cleric). With all of these series now having completed at least half of their season run, let’s take a look at how each ofContinue reading “Summer 2023 Mid-Season Isekai Round-Up”
