Short Synopsis:<\/b> Super powered king from one world dies and is reborn as a super powered baby in another world.<\/p>\n

Lenlo:<\/b><\/span> At first I thought Saikyou might have been onto something, having your MC be from the same world they are reviving into gives them a connection to the world, the opportunity to make up for past mistakes. They would have some actual investment in it, knowledge of the setting, with concrete goals from the start. By shoving him into a completely different world though, they remove all of that, making Saikyou no different from any other mediocre OP MC Isekai bullshit. The lead being an ancient king is nice enough I guess, it\u2019s better than a petulant highschooler. But that really starts to be undermined after the like\u2026 third \u201cHe shit himself\u201d joke. It feels like everything interesting about Saikyou\u2019s premise was left behind for the sake of making it as easily digestible as possible, resulting in just another fantasy Isekai show. So yeah, hard pass.
Potential:<\/b> 5%<\/p>\n

Mario:<\/b><\/span> I guess it strikes me how plain the whole episode is. Down to the title, it presents itself as a rip-off of \u201cBeyond Journey\u2019s End\u201d. Its premise reminds you of a tame version of \u201cJobless Incarnation\u201d, and even the world has elements that you\u2019ve seen somewhere else. And even though I prefer this MC more than the one in \u201cJobless Incarnation\u201d, the production just can\u2019t hold a candle to that show. And because we are stuck in his head and his narrative the whole time, other characters like his father and mother don\u2019t feelmulti-dimensional at all. I guess we will get more to the meat of it once he gets older and travels around, but for now there is nothing exceptional in this show that would keep me coming back. For hard fans of isekai only.
Potential:<\/b> 10%<\/p>\n

Short Synopsis:<\/b> High school delinquents get into turf wars and talk about friendship, S2<\/p>\n

Lenlo:<\/b><\/span> As expected, Windbreaker escalated to mortal combat pretty damn quickly. Metal baseball bats and wire wrapped wood? That can legitimately kill somebody. Don\u2019t get me wrong, the fights, the choreo, the OST, all of that\u2019s still good. The production of Windbreaker is still just as it was before, so if you\u2019re just in it for the action I think you\u2019ll get what you want. I just worry that Windbreaker is going to lose what made it work for me in the constant escalation all Shounen have. Some of it was here, the short glimpse into how flawed an organization ruled by fear can be was nice, and I liked how it pushed Sakura away from the leader since Windbreaker\u2019s focus should be more on the community and what these fights represent, rather than the fights themselves. But I can\u2019t help this nagging feeling that the series is going down the classic shounen rabbit hole. Hopefully it proves me wrong, I\u2019ll definitely be watching it to find out.
Potential:<\/b> 50%<\/p>\n

Short Synopsis:<\/b> A swordmaster from a country village is summoned to the big city to serve as its knight corps\u2019 instructor.<\/p>\n

Wooper:<\/b><\/span> Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman opened with the adult hero\u2019s elderly father pestering him about potential grandchildren, which made me wonder what kind of show it might be. Would it treat the experience of being middle aged in a youthful fantasy world with some amount of realism, or would it surround this barely-greying sword instructor with potential mothers for his offspring? I needn\u2019t have wondered \u2013 it was the latter, of course, and shortly after that initial conversation with his dad, the first of the series\u2019 cast of cute anime girls showed up at their door. Then he was whisked away to the city where he met another, and another, and there will doubtless be more beyond this episode. The show frequently trots out a gag where he doesn\u2019t pick up on any of the female lead\u2019s obvious signs of attraction, as if that makes its intentions any less transparent. Maybe he\u2019s just distracted by the fact that she and the other prominent women\u2019s outfits are designed strictly for sex appeal, despite the fact that they\u2019re all accomplished swordsmen in their own right. Some props are due for the slick 3D models used during the duel between Mr. Bumpkin and the knight corps\u2019 second in command \u2013 positioning the camera between them for most of the fight made it more intense than expected \u2013 but as for the story and characters, there\u2019s nothing here to recommend.
