Synopsis

Nakajima Youko is your average somewhat timid high school student. One day, a strange man named Keiki appears before her, swearing allegiance. Before she could properly register what was happening, demon-like creatures attack Youko and her friends, after which they are pulled into a different world. A world unlike what she has ever known. Separated from Keiki, Youko and her friends must do whatever they can if they wish to survive in this new world.

ChristianChristian100/100

A series that offers actual character development and growth with some small compromises.

It is common nowadays to open Youtube or any side of the Internet and see a recurrent complaint in the hero and fantasy genres: There is no character development. Critics say that many characters in modern media are overpowered in some sort of way. Maybe they are presented as perfect personality-wis…

A fantasy epic from before the modern Isekai boom, with one of the best female protagonists in anime.

~~~img(https://starcrossedanime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Twelve-Kingdoms-Banner.png)~~~ In this day and age it is nigh-impossible to find a season of anime without an Isekai. From _Konosuba_ and *Slime Isekai* to *Sword Art Online* and *Re:Zero*, they have invaded the medium. But the genre ex…

Behind its messy presentation, that ranges from extremely stiff animation to awkward movement, w…

Strangers in a Strange Land: cliche start, but a treasure in the long haul

Due to the incredibly cliched start, I tried this series twice before I was finally hooked into it. The book adaptation failed to impress and the first episode exasperated me. However, if I had let that stop me, I would have missed out on an incredibly creative and inspiring anime. To see the treasu…
