My favourite thing about Akiba Maid War is that it wouldn't be half as fun if it didn't deliver its bizarre carnage with a completely and totally straight face. The ED for the show is literally one of the maid girls singing a slow jazz ballad about how she - and I quote - "goes to the pigsty to get my moe moe kyun". The crucial thing is that as far as the characters in the show, and the show itself for that matter, are concerned, NONE of it is played for laughs, and all of the comedy is on the viewer. It pretty much gaslights you into believing that there's an underground war of cute maid girls by presenting it to you like you're a fly on the wall, and I cannot stress enough how much that adds to how hilarious and bizarre the show is.

You know what it makes me think of?? When Animal House was being made, John Landis went to the great composer Elmer Bernstein, to compose the music for it, and asked him to go with a serious dramatic score as if it wasn't a comedy. And it works So Damn Well that way. Even the theme for the college sounds like it belongs in a movie with the Late John Houseman and Cate Blanchett as faculty members

What some people might miss about Akiba Maid War is it's specifically a yakuza fiction parody. People who are familiar with the tropes of yakuza fiction would recognize that everything is mapped from yakuza fiction, they just replace "yakuza" with "maid." For example, the scene in the first episode where the main characters are given money to eat ramen before sending a message to a rival group office, it's a specific yakuza trope of a goon given money for last meal before being sent to their death attacking a rival group's office. How each maid cafe is under a publishing group is how Yakuza families are part of specific yakuza group with certain hierarchies. That kind of thing.

"I am ATOMIC" is simply one of the best quotes I have ever heard. That powerful whisper, the pizazz he puts on it, and the beautiful purple lights dancing across the screen with increasing intensity really make it amazing. But the thing that makes it so perfect is the surprise aspect. I was almost 100% sure he was going to say "powrar" again, so when he delicately whispered that beautifully pronounced "atomique" in my ear, I could not help myself from laughing in surprise.

At the Start, I was right there with you on "eminence in shadow". However, I got carried away and started reading the manga. In so doing, I discovered its fatal flaw. When the running gag hits its expiration date, it goes from funny to rage inducing real quick. At that point, it also turns super depressing with how bad you start feeling for the shadow garden girls. In summery, I have now reached a point where any mention of this series makes me moan in emotionally induced nausea. So, for those of you who like this show, please be on the lookout for this threshold, and run the moment you reach it.

When you just fucking dropped that whatever studio made Tears to Tiara I literally jumped and screamed. I have been looking for that fucking anime ever since middle school when I first watched it. No I don’t remember anything about the fucking plot I just wanted to listen the opening a million times again. It’s insane how I just randomly stumbled upon it now after 10-11 years with no luck and no idea of how to find it. God bless you. Anyways gonna finish watching the video jow

Now that Love Flops episode 7 and 8 is out, I would like to suggest pushing it away from this list because now episode 1-6 makes so much sense it's depressing

My mom's thoughts as we watched this together: During the ad: "Am I too old to get into video games? I like Animal Crossing and Doom." First anime: "Why are harems always straight? I know I'm not a wibble-" "You mean a weeb?" "Yeah, that. I know I'm not a wibble, but surely there's some bi people in Japan. Also, why aren't there every any interesting animal people? I'm tired of cats. An iguana now and again would be nice, you know?" Second anime: She paused the video and squealed at 7:36 because of the bear with a backpack, then went, "I want this guy's powers! And he seems like a nice guy. I hope he gets married, has a wonderful cottage on the outskirts of the village and lives happily ever after." Third anime: "This entire plot could be resolved with a threeway marriage between him, the girl he likes and someone from the ninja clan trying to kill him. But I guess that'd ruin the fun fight scenes." Fourth anime: "Did a fourteen year old write this? This feels like something I'd find in your computer history from when you were that age." "MOM!" "What? It's fine, I read VC Andrews books when I was that age." Later: "Ilya needs a hug. And therapy. I know I'm not licensed to practice in Japan, but she could just come here. Poor kid." Fifth anime: "Oooh. This anime is pretty. And I like the army being mostly women. That's nice. Um, not sure about the suicide bit, though. That's... well, I guess that lands differently in Japan. But if there's a psychologist he can find in his new universe, he might want to talk to them for a bit." Sixth anime: "This anime looks like being sleep deprived and anxious feels. Which makes sense. That was what the 90's were all like for me." "Mom, that's super concerning." "No, that's just college." PSA: "That sounds like a 90's riot grrrl band whose lead singer is a prettier boy than actual boys."

First exposed to Eminence in Shadow through the manga, I was quietly disappointed that the anime (which is unfortunately adapting the source light novels) wasn't as over-exaggerated as the manga. The anime does a satisfactory job but the manga truly elevates the ridiculousness to a whole new level whilst keeping the tension of the franchise's more serious moments.

I haven't read the manga but I read the LN. I'm also a little bit disappointed because a lot of the comedy in the LN comes from Cid's monologue in his head and how that contrasts with everyone else's perceptions. But a lot of the internal monologue is not adapted in the anime, so the scenes are just played straight without that comedic contrast. I think it gives off a different impression in the anime about who Cid really is, whether it's the normie or edgelord version. In the LN, Cid's thoughts show that for both personas he is deliberately acting (or attempting to act) in a way that best fits the role, while everyone else thinks it's real. But in the anime I think it can make it seem like he is being completely genuine as a mob or Shadow. Overall it's a pretty good adaptation though.

Not that there were ninjas hiding under the bed waiting to kill him. 15:38 idk I think that custodial robot is probably onto something.

It made me feel pain every time he would screw something up because i knew the whole situation could have been avoided if his clan just taught him all the stuff he needed, like every other clan did.

"We don't have battletoads" hiding there in the chapter titles like an ancient spell of meme judgment.

The manga is a great read - I started it after the anime started airing and haven't read the LNs, but the show is p faithful to both as far as I can tell!

I love Beast Tamer. Except the part where the main character "tames" sentient creatures. The girls all love him because he's the sweetest guy, and forming contracts with powerful creatures is an Isekai trope (see Moonlit Fantasy), but it still seems wrong. Fortunately it's so clean and wholesome that a few dirty jokes by one of the fairy twins is enough to make everyone blush. It's reminiscent of "Banished from the Hero's party" except that the entire party bad mouths Rein, whereas Gideon just had the crazy mage. What they did with the "hero" in Beast Tamer is fairly unique, too. My biggest problem with BT is not that Rein is OP, it's that he keeps pulling powers out of his butt. Not the borrowed abilities of his ultimate friends but new Beast Tamer abilities. First it was just that he's able to form temporary contracts with multiple creatures. Then he can also tame insects, then he can project his mind into one of his creatures, he can overwrite another's tamer's bond, and so on and so forth. Every new episode, he keeps breaking the rules of his class. If the writers wanted him to be able to do these things, they should have led into it, instead of just revealing it when it's needed. Anyway.... Beast Tamer is not trash, it's just another harem anime with some writing problems.

Something like that requires lots of training/preparation and is not something to be shoved onto a person at the last minute. It would have made some sense if the Mom was trying to get out of the ninja business altogether only for them to be forced back in, but it looks like their whole family is still very involved in the ninja life so not telling him until they have absolutely no choice really seems like a dick move.

That means some generic fantasy world is missing the hero who was supposed to get reincarnated into it, and the demon king will take over unopposed.

We need an isekai anime about truck-kun dying in a terrible accident with a tractor trailer then coming back as a handsome protagonist-kun who keeps having to dodge being hit by cars due to karma. Of course, he’d accumulate a harem of girls who are mechanics and don’t realize they love him because he used to be a vehicle and they all love engines.

@@laurenwasinger9436 that would be something worth watching!

Thank you for the great anime suggestions. Onto watch Love Flops RN xD

The fact that you included Eminence in Shadow and Akiba Maid war on this last and the recommends list shows that both shows are excellent and could be improved in certain ways. Either way I am loving both shows.

Eminence in Shadow is one of my favorite manga still in production. I cant get enough of its intentionally over-the-top plot twists and action scenes, cut with pure distilled edgelording.

If you like the manga adaptation you should read the source material being the Light Novels, as the manga changes some things and leaves out some jokes/content from the LNs, the LNs are also farther ahead.

I checked out the manga of The Eminence in Shadow and they were right, the director of the anime played everything completly straight but it is supposed to be a parody of edgy isekai mc's

Actually they are adapting from the LN. It was just the manga adaptation which took more liberties with the comedy. But I actually do wish they used the manga as a reference when it came to the comedy scenes, cuz the comedy in the manga is definitely the way to go.

@@rickchakraborty2087 Reading the web novel back in the day was quite the ride for me because it reads like it is written completely straight, and when I read it like that, it wasn't very good. It took me some 70 chapters, iirc, before I realized that it's not supposed to be read straight. It is a comedy. Once I changed my approach to it, the series became great.

Like many others, I'm coming back to comment after watching Renai Flops (Love Flops). Dude thank you so much for introducing this to me. I won't spoil anything for anyone but at a certain point I was like "dude this is giving me school days vibes." I watched because I wanted to see some trash harem anime. But fuck me the roller-coaster ride panged my heart. Anyone reading this: it's worth the watch. The first half of the anime is average but it's purposely done so. Thanks again mate! Earned a sub! :)

Why does the ninja one actually sound pretty good... Also eminence in shadow was honestly one of the best isekai releases this year.
