Guilty fanservice
Third part of the seasonal review, where we delve a bit into the other shows.
Shachou, Battle no Jikan desu
Another anime advertising a mobile game… it’s like a fad or does anime spin-off add that many additional users to the game? Anyway… This time a useless guy (the player) is coaxed by the wiles of his (hot) childhood friend in taking up the job of his guildmaster father, thus saying goodbye to his beautiful NEET life (subtle approach). Incidentally, in the guild there are only hotties and one shota, and they go adventuring in parallel worlds cleaning “stages”, completing “missions” and getting “diamonds” for the trouble. Sounds like something you know? Notably, the protagonist seems more convincing as a girl than as a boy.

Plunderer (2nd cour)
The fantasy-turned-isekai-turned-sci-fi anime in the second cour turns time-screwing-isekai and then goes apocalyptic and ends cringy. Being totally honest, this anime was trying to be ecchi but it was lacking something to really get into it. Plunderer had many issues, among them the fact that the two main characters were the most unlikable of the bunch and had several baseless personality-shifts, the graphic quality was fluctuating and began sinking near the ending, and finally that the direction didn’t seem to know where the series was going. I suppose it was good at least for a while, just don’t ask for consistency.
But, we’re not done! Stay tuned for the fourth and last part of the spring review!
