Introduction
In a world of adventurers and magic lies Naral Island. Every generation, a Demon Lord rises to plague the land, and every generation, a Hero is born to subdue him. For countless centuries, the cycle has repeated with no end in sight. The latest Hero, Juulia "Yusha" Charldetto, has almost completed her valiant campaign alongside her party members: responsible priest Seiran "Seira" Élénoir, enigmatic mage Meiza "Mei" Endust, and hyper-energetic warrior Fai Fai.
In the final battle against the Demon Lord, Yusha's party attempt a risky spell to cast their enemy into the drifts of time. But the incantation goes awry, sending Yusha and her friends back to a time before the Demon Lord, before Yusha becomes the Hero, and before the party had even graduated as adventurers. With their memories of the future erased, the four girls restart their ambitions to become the Hero's Party, aspiring to defeat the Demon Lord.
However, in a sudden twist of fate, the Demon Lord was also sent back in time with her memories intact. Reduced to the form of a little girl, the Demon Lord takes the name Mao and infiltrates the adventurers' school as a teacher, planning to stop Yusha before she becomes a hero. Thus begins the story of Yusha and her friends, in their quest to defeat the Demon Lord, not knowing that the one they seek is right by their side.

(REVIEW THAT ISN'T AN ESSAY + NO SPOILERS)
If you like upbeat, light-hearted, satire/comedy shows, then you probably would like watching it. It is a complete story and was enjoyable to watch. Interesting and goofy universe/setting, with solid and distinct characters. One of the best antagonists of all time, eat me.
If you are looking for a show that isn't family friendly or has dark/serious themes, then don't watch it. If you are looking for a show that has serious combat or cringe romance scenes, then don't watch it.
One of my GOATs, quite simply. If you feel like you're the target audience then watch and enjoy it, you won't regret it. If you don't think you're the target audience, probably don't. Banger intro and outro songs.
10/10. Yes, we watched this in the Big 26.

Endro~! is D&D ( Dungeons & Dragons ) loli version. I can't overlook that fact. It just feels so relatable. The cliches, the eccentricities, the facetious. This anime feels like it was made by a Dungeon Master with care. Providing the players with the greatest of jubilation.
The show is kawaii. And as I was watching the show, I felt contented. It felt like an adventure brimming of everlasting happiness. An adventure that I will never forget no matter how much I try to forget about it. A group of cute girls trailing the hero-demon lord cliche route with convulsing comedies. This anime was so simple yet its simplicity is its brilliance. Endro is truly a hidden gem of winter 2019. I'm quite surprised by its low rating, but I do understand why it is that way.
The ending doesn't hold any po…

Haaaah... Started watching this anime because I like these types of fluffy, silly cute girls doing cute things animes for some breaks after reading some serious stories.
I thought that, hey, 7/10, that's a pretty decent score for an anime like this, must be good enough, right? Usually shows like this rarely get anything but a score below 7/10 even if they're watchable enough.
But no, it's truly amazing how stupid this anime was. It was so stupid that I felt like just dropping it halfway into episode 1. But I gave it a chance and ended up having it on in the background while reading something else(you know, one window with a novel and another with the video side by side). Being good at multitasking, I didn't miss much and it would've been hard to miss anything substantial in an anime like…

After a 15 minutes discussion with myself, my first review on this site will be Endro~!
Why should you watch this anime? I mean, story wise, it's not the greatest thing, aside from the premise, that is certainly interesting in and of itself, you don't have much to set the anime apart from, fantasy hero and her friends are preparing to fight the big bad guy (or, in this situation, girl I guess).
It's because Endro~! is all about the feels good moments. Whether it be the colorful animation, the cheerful soundtracks or just the hero team and the demon lord being absolutely lovely, this show transpires with positive energy.
All in all, the only thing that could be considered a downside is a story that barely makes the cake, which, in the case of Endro~! isn't really crippling, as it was int…

First thing this needs to be bumped to an R-15 instead PG-13 it has a LGBT (and pedo) agenda to it which is a real shame because otherwise it would be fantastic down to a G rating. As it stands if you are watching it with your kids you may well be having conversations you'd just rather not have.On the other hand the instances where it does try to interject the current political zeitgeist are useful for explaining to kids how propaganda works and how to protect themselves.
Second it's not a really a 7 it's more something north of a 6.5. While it's a really fun take on Japanese Fantasy/ RPG tropes. Think Fairy Tail, Magic Labyrinth, Record of Lodoss, Slayers but with a cast of nothing but really cu…

When I saw the first ep from Endro ~, I thought it would not be very good, but it's a very interesting anime, even though it's a bit cliché. The first few episodes were worthless, but the more I watched, the more it became pleasant and cool to see.
The characters are quite normal, except Meiza, who is the best character in the whole anime, for being funny and creative. The scenes are sometimes very funny, especially after the eighth epistle, which was when the anime began to improve.
Overall, Endro ~ was a fun anime with medium characters and crazy moments that can even make you laugh.

As the reviews say: surprisingly good.
This is my dark horse for the season.
This was the anime that I didn't expect to be any good at all. Especially the first bit of the first episode, the fight with the demon lord and then the credits. I thought it was going to be terrible. But the more I watched it, this anime felt really refreshing and kind of original. The concepts and everything were great and I haven't stumbled across in the other animes that I've watched.
There are many moments where the incidents are crazy enough to be funny. I'm not the type to just like a show because "cute girls doing stuff" Non Non Biyori for example I just found to be a bore and then Aho Girl was a bit too psycho.
I really thought that Egao no Daika was going to be dark horse of the season as the anime…

Endro has to easily be the comfiest show of the season. If you are in for a light-hearted and heart-warming anime that will leave you with a smile on your face at the end of each episode, you have stumbled across the right show.
Ah yes, the CGDCT genre. This time we feature cute girls doing cute hero things. I don’t think I generally lean towards the “fantasy” side of anime (although there are exceptions), this show definitely uses the cute girls to make it feel just different enough from other fantasy genre anime. I think the blend of the two certainly felt fresh in it’s own respect. Although I have not seen it at this point, Konosuba takes this approach, but from what I understand has more fantasy leaning intentions as compared to this show. It is a lot more focused on the cute girls as…

Endro is so close to be my enjoyable anime but I cannot deny cliche of CGDCT and middle of this show. Okay, Let's Start
Story
This show will about yuusha's party which go to defeated maou but spell had failed and make them and maou to past. In the first of this show will be about maou who backed to past and tried to make yuusha's party cannot go to defeated maou again. But this concept has forgotten and go to second part. Princess is not be character who annoying to ruin enjoyment, But this show use episode to build this character too much. Personally Idea of this character can be tell in one episode but this show tell much cause other idea and character. After Princess part until episode 10, This show is random and useless scenario cause me bored . But I glad that this show return origin…

Personally, my AOTS (and an underrated gem) of Winter 2019. The anime that I had no expectations whatsoever going in, and it certainly delivered in all its cuteness and "Girl Power" aesthetics, that left me laughing and crying all at the same time. Regardless of how much the anime worked and/or sucked, without much ado, let the Endro~ (End Roll~) begin!
Every CGDCT anime will always be cited in one of two camps: either it will have a beginning point that is further developed as time goes, or the latter in which the story is given, but is only emphasized at the very last moments. Clearly, it showcases the former first as means of a backstory, but once the aforementioned story passes, it End Roll~s into the latter, where majority of the slice-of-life elements come in with no drama and depth…

JRPG is a beautiful gaming genre with a rich culture and history tracing back to the days of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Endro feels like a JRPG except here, we have an absurd set of characters united together for defeating the great Demon King. Wait, does this sound familar to anyone?
Now I’m a bit of a sucker for cute girls doing cute things. Yes, it gets repetitive sometimes but everyone needs a dose of that cute and fuzzy feeling sometimes, right? Every season has one in some shape or form. Endro focuses on a more unorthodox way of showing its ‘cute girls doing cute things’ formula by taking on a high class fantasy theme. It’s not truly an isekai so don’t expect truck-kun to appear in the first episode. Rather, I see Endro as an interactive JRPG style adventure about a group of ch…
