Short, non-spoiler reviews and hot takes of anime for the newly initiated weeb.
While it is perhaps the seminal "trapped in a game" isekai, the pacing of this was so painfully slow. While the soundtrack is a masterpiece by Yuki Kajiura, it's used so awkwardly and repetitively that it doesn't do it justice. Skip this one.
Perhaps the original and best Reverse Isekai, this one will leave a stupid grin plastered on your face for its entirety. There's something immensely validating in watching epic fantasy heroes struggle to get by in the capitalist struggle for survival.
Phenomenal worldbuilding, character stories and growth, complete with powerful and complex moral decisions. Plus genuine great comedy make this a must-see.
Take Hogwarts, throw it into HalloweenTown, and add sentient weapons and general anime Shonen vibes. The result is a surprisingly enjoyable ride that tackles some heavy issues.
