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.

Inspired by The Wheel of Time - (books) by Robert Jordan

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.

aka Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

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.
