The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter
Rating: Huh
Suggested age rating: TV-Y14 , movie-PG13
Set in an alternate world with magic, the main character is basically unbeatable as long as he continues to be a degenerate playboy. Creative use of magic skills. Lots of fan service. Animation is average, and, though heavily focused on women's body parts, does not seem to follow the laws of physics. Well, maybe they're keeping their breasts that way with magic. Nah, it's just unrealistic male-fantasy animation. They've obviously tried to make the main character an empathetic underdog by giving him low social status, but it's grossly evident that he's going to rise quickly with his magic skills. I might watch again depending on how the season shapes up.
So I'm A Spider, So What?
Rating: Huh
Suggested age rating: TV-Y7 , movie-PG
Yeah, so I'm not a huge fan of spiders. I realize they're not evil and actually contribute a lot to the ecosystem. But I see no need to be personal friends with one. Even considering the much-anthropomorphized version in this anime, it's still a bit ick. Premise is trying to be That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime without the slime part. Interesting that the whole classroom, including the teacher, got reincarnated. Possibility of interesting plot points with that. Liked the ending music, very frenetic heavy metal. As long as you're ok with spiders, you could do worse than to watch this one.
Dr Ramune
Rating: Hm hm
Suggested age rating: TV-Y14 , movie-PG13
The doctor is rude, but I found myself enjoying his tough-love technique. Haven't we all wanted to smack people with an unpleasant truth at least once? The ailments people come down with while under stress are unique and the cures are along the lines of 'letting the punishment fit the crime'. I rated it a little older because it looks like the second episode will deal with genitalia, which might be a bit much for younger audiences. But otherwise, it looks like a keeper.
Heaven's Design Team
Rating: Huh
Suggested age rating: TV-E , movie-G
An irreverent comedy about how God came up with all the animals on Earth. A design team sits in a room in Heaven, brainstorming ideas about how animals can, for example, eat things that are up really high. After God (through an angelic intermediary) approves the designs, there is a brief interlude describing the actual animals and some fun facts about them. It seems to primarily be an educational tool for young children to learn about animals. Not too much plot. Animation is quite life-like, at least for the animals. Entertaining for elementary aged kids.
