it felt like some things replayed themselves. Like, something gets resolved and the two MCs get closer, but something else happens later and it feels like they regressed a bit since the first event (or completely forgot about how they got closer) etc... I didn't really mind it much though.

using holy water on everyone in episode 3 incase they are undead was hilarious, same goes for how he keeps going overboard after he kills something like the slime in episode 1 lol

Ascedence of a Bookworm: Suprisingly good. Isekei done right. None of the stupid gameworld business where people have levels, but the culture of society is a caricature of medieval society as if levels don't exist. It's just someone with memories of Earth living life the best she can. Kind of silly how she gives up one method of making a book after one attempt, but I guess if she doesn't she'll be forever making clay tablets. Must watch.

Assasins Pride: Watched only the first because going from monologing about his "assasins pride" to swearing fealty to "my little lady" made me laugh about how quickly the main character changed personalities.

Azur lane: An exercise in contrived situations where both sides decide to retreat with no casualties. In the open sea and sky, both sides withdrawing without harm or harrass is unheard of. It's as if nobody seems to realise they are in a war except for 2 of the Japan ship characters.

Cautious Hero: Jokes are unrefined and overdrawn but still funny. The spurned male hero cheering the hero under torture for destroying the undead army instead of cursing him was a nice touch

Choujin Koukousei-tachi wa Isekai demo Yoyuu de Ikinuku you desu!: Seems to be an interesting concept for an Isekai, but boringly executed. Didn't watch beyond the first episode, as sitting through the utter boredom of 5 minutes character introduction of "the world greatest xyz" is not exactly good first impression. Also that feeding scene. I suppose degenerates would enjoy that one.

Fate grand order:Babylonia: Beautifully animated, but the worship and subservience of Gilgamesh by every character is a bit much. Ok, we get it he's the king and everyone thinks he's the greatest. Also it would had been nice if someone tells us who Enkidu is. What is he supposed to be? A human? A god? A heroic spirit? I don't know, the anime just assumes we know this character from somewhere.

Oresuki: Seems interesting. Seems to be an anime where delight is taken in making the main character's life as complicated with as much drama as possible. Don't understand why he wants to make up with his friends but I guess you can't have drama without relationships. Also I don't get why people were decorating his shoes with sequins and desk with a gold course but whatever. Must be missing some cultural context. Bench is best character. Recommended for unheard of levels of drama.

Sword Art Online 4: Think I'll drop this one. Apparently one of the greatest philosophical and religious questions of life is answered, that of the existence of a soul, but no-one cares apparently. Spent every episode thinking how stupid and nonsensical everything is, or how wonderfully coincidental everything is.

Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne!: Yet another bogstandard Isekai, but seemed aimed at the K-On market. A comedy that isn't funny.

I'll give you that the show's pacing is a bit off and that's probably my biggest pickle with it lol. Even in future episodes, they aren't providing timelines so you'll have a week pass per se, but you'd only think something happened the previous day or so. Likewise, more information on the MC's background would've helped us understand this current situation, however, if you think about the change and consider what was taking place at the time, you'd realize that there was a reason for it too. If I recall correctly, the MC even talks about how it depends on how well she does because he may "have to kill her later on" or something.

There's more information regarding his background in the next couple of episodes and there's likely a lot more to come, but basically, while the personality change seems odd, it doesn't when you consider everything that was happening. You should give the second episode a watch. Setting aside the pacing issues and not providing as much info at times, it's a pretty fun watch and there's some pretty good animation too. There's also interesting reveals and the world itself seems exciting if we only get more info on it!

The MC went ahead and gave her the magic powers (in a really dodgy way I might add) instead of assassinating her as he had decided previously before finding her somewhere random. he had already decided to kill her. There was no reason to do a complete change in personality. The world from the first episode does look interesting like a chandalier. Maybe I'll give the second episode a go and see if it gets better
