In a fantasy world where people awaken with certain strengths, one among them becomes a hero to fight a demon lord army. But this follows an everyday guy.

Kinda okay I guess.

Mysterious gates bring monsters into the world, but people develop superpowers and one previously-worthless combatant becomes incredible.

Pretty good so far.

  • Original title: Ore dake Level Up na Ken
  • The origin is Korean, but this is a Japanese endeavour.

Something about a woman having played a video game and being in that world and being overpowered.

Kinda stiff.

Pretty interesting.

An ugly, unaccomplished, student discovers a hidden world within which he becomes a hero and transforms himself in that and the real world.

It might be quite good, but because the main character is superpowered it's a pretty shitty story angle; not recommended.

  • aka / properly titled: I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too
  • Note that every episode has an end-credit scene.
  • A second season has been confirmed

A NEET dies and chooses to be reincarnated into a fantasy world as a hero tasked to defeat a demon lord, but he ends up as a party of four semi-incompetent members.

Fun and funny!

The Wheel of Time - (2021 show) image

For some reason the Big Bad is waking up and some villagers are implicated in helping/hurting his/its/their/xur's plans to do something to the world, or something.

This show is lacking from so many directions. It's watchable, but irks me in ways I don't want to sit down and think about long enough or I'll get mad. You know what? I'm just going to start judging shows on if they have good looking women. Any, and if they are boss girls.

I watched a couple of episodes and shrugged.

I watched a couple of episodes somewhere in the beginning of 2023. It's decent, but I know it takes a fucking woke nosedive off of a Marxist cliff.

A NEET dies but finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, where he grows into with the competence and usefulness that he ought to have been working for in his previous life.

Starts strongly, but really spirals down into pulp crap. Still perfectly watchable overall. Recommended even for people who don't like this sort of entertainment but like the sword-and-sorcery topic in general.

Watched at the end of 2022; no notes were taken.

Robot Chicken - Star Wars (2007) image

A standard Robot Chicken, but with various skits parodying the Star Wars franchise.

Have a half hour to waste? Give this a shot, but if you don't like it within the first few minutes go do something better; Robot Chicken is hit-and-miss.
