Saga of Tanya the Evil

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 9

Rating: B+ The appeal of Isekai Quartet is heavily predicated on clever callbacks and sly applications of lore from its components series, so few things in the franchise truly count as plot twists.

All of them are,Continue reading “Isekai Quarter 3 episode 7”

Isekai Quartet 3, episode 6

That’s why it’s a bit surprising to seeContinue reading “Isekai Quartet 3, episode 6”

Isekai Quartet 3 episode 2

Rating: B If episode 1 was the tease of the arrival of the Eminence in Shadow crew then episode 2 is that series’ formal introduction to the Isekai Quartet sphere. Specifically, Cid and the Seven Shadows all join class 1, which prior to this point had consisted of the Shield Hero trio and the secondaryContinue reading “Isekai Quartet 3 episode 2”
