I laughed so hard on this😆.Hataage is extremely hilarious. The action scene are awesome & funny just like KONOSUBA!
It has a good plot but not so intriguing.SO,if someone love thriller, this is not for you but if someone looking for comedy&isekai😉 Hataage is a perfect choice!
As,there are not so much comedy isekai anime!
Here,
One get to see an oversmart villain & a stupid hero who is fond of animals.
Don’t worry!There is harem too.
Let me tell you why Hataage is a bit of unique and hilarious isekai anime! The anime starts with the hero summoning as usual.
But unlike other isekai heros who get surprised or happy by summoning, this MC got snapped and did a German Suplex to the princess.Well, I would have done the same, if I were summuned suddenly! 😆
That's just the 1st part of the 1s…

To be honest, I don’t expect much from isekai anime. I know this isn’t a hot take considering the genre is oversaturated as hell these days, but I thought Kemono Michi could be different. A pro-wrestler being isekai’d into a fantasy world? That’s a gimmick I never would’ve expected. Think of all the possibilities this could have been original. Maybe even good.
Although it’d be unfair to say this is just another isekai, I wouldn’t say it succeeds at what it tried to do. I expected it to at least be weird, and it certainly is ridiculous. Other than weirdness, there’s not much else. It was funny at times, but mostly I was just bored. Between the motionless animation, repetitive comedy, and an average cast of characters, there’s not a whole lot left to enjoy.
The main problem with the cast i…

Watch (part of) the show, it's really funny! It starts off actually being better than the manga. Some say to stop watching after the fourth episode and that's fine. But you're going to regret it if you don't at least skip episodes 8, 9, 11, and 12.
Once the competition starts, the show spends too much time repeating the gags you've already seen before. If you've seen a decent amount of anime, you should know that tournament episodes are lazy writing and a sign that they've ran out of ideas. And guess what? They don't have just one, but two of these brawls, not to mention the episodes spent setting up them up. The action's good, it's just you're going to get so sick of the repeated jokes, that I personally don't think it's worth it.
Genzou is absolutely hilarious and entertaining in the b…

Burn Brain cells the anime
This was so terrible that I think this entire plot and concept was written by a monkey or by one year old you know what it would be insulting to the monkey and the baby because I’m sure that even they could come up with a better plot and characters then this shit show in fact the scene where the main character sniff the ass of The werewolf man describe The feeling of watching this where I begin with this one so I will say the story is practically nonexistent the art was even basic for this genre the sound was terrible the characters Are so pathetic and one dimensional and doesn’t have fucking character development at all and they act like they have a fucking brain damage and most of them all they do is to be horny as hell for the main character that this is even…

There are bunch of isekais released in the past decade some great some weak but there's this particular type of isekai which I like to call "light isekais". These type of isekai shows don't have really heavy plot and it doesn't really offer much on the story side of things. Though this may seem bad at first, these types are more associated with non-isekai shows that also doesn't really on heavy plot but instead on comedic values (e.g Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou).
This is one example of a light isekai, it isn't reliant on it's plot progression but instead offers its comedic values. Though it does have plot progression, it's better to say that it's only part of the package.
Now let's talk about what it's got. The comedy of the show is superb early on enhancing each and every episode though…

Without thinking twice ... When I saw a fragment of this work, I thought it would be interesting to see. When I started watching this anime, I saw that they were showing me something new. For a start, what can I say? Anime will not let you get bored. In each episode, you can smile or even laugh.
For the Isekai genre, this is the first time that not a schoolboy, not an office worker, or even a hike was summoned to another world, but the wrestler. The hero's calling to the alternate world was almost standard, as was the case with most Isekai, which is not encouraging. It is also sad that the plot does not develop but stands still. The main characters roam in one place, and that's it.
There are tons of soundtracks. In battle - dynamic music, in conversation - calm music, and in moments when…

To preface, I am more of a wrestling fan than anything else. The thought of how Japanese wrestling being represented in an anime, like Tiger Mask W, but written as an isekai comedy by the author of Konosuba was almost too good to be true. And after watching all of the series, I went from being invested in a world with a funny wrestler that fights all the monsters in an entertaining, abstract way to being just fed up with the series as it comes to an end. Basically, I came into this thinking, "Oh, a wrestling anime, oh boi" and came out being reminded that the "golden age of isekai" is more dominant and some people might actually enjoy parts I just couldn't. If I can say anything positive, I liked the MC's rival and I liked a single fight.

I came into this anime expecting it to be the first anime I've ever dropped due to some of the clips I'd seen in some other reviews but even though those scenes were still weird the comedy kept me watching, the questionable scenes stopped after the first couple of episodes though.
The best way I could describe this would be Konosuba with a wrestler for a main character.
I didn't feel like any of the main characters weren't fleshed out enough and the side characters who didn't get expanded on much were mainly there for comedic purposes but they didn't affect the story too much.
The fact that it's an isekai isn't being shoved down your throat all the time but just enough to remind you that there are major differences between our world and the one in the show.
Overall by the end the show…

An animal-loving pro wrestler in a parallel world. Even in the current boom of isekai series that particular premise sounds somewhat original. Unfortunately that's all it has going for it.
The story starts out like a typical isekai and immediately introduces us to several characters and the trouble they get themselves into.
Their interactions and relationships with one another are established quickly and the basis for the series' enjoyment is the humor that develops from those characters and their personal quirks. These established running jokes are funny at first, but quickly become overdone. It's a good thing the series only has 12 episodes, because at the end you'll be sick and tired of the same jokes done over and over again.
I will say that the plot at least develops quickly and…

Take Konosuba, swap out Kazuma with a Pro-Wrestling furry lover, make the comedy about half as funny, and sprinkle a bunch of animals and beastmen in and you pretty much have Hataage! Kemono Michi. Fortunately for this anime, being half as funny as Konosuba means you're still pretty funny. And that's what saved this from being a total waste of time.
Outside of the funny moments, which were plentiful, literally everything about this anime is the definition of mediocre. The plot is mediocre. The characters are mediocre. (Although I did like Shigure), The animation style is mediocre and looks low budget. The ending is mediocre. Just everything about the anime screams mediocrity. But, it keeps you laughing, so you keep going.
Hataage Kemono Michi is as thin of a story as it gets. A princes…

Isekai has been done to death by now. So in 2019, what could a studio possible pass off as a unique product? Well, at this point, it takes the transportation of a pet-loving professional wrestler to another world. And yeah, I would imagine that we still haven't hit the peak of isekai absurdity.
This show gets no points from me in any category other than its concept. The idea of a wrestler being sent to another world as a hero is pretty hilarious, and attention grabbing no doubt. If it wasn't for the ridiculousness of the concept, I would have never stuck around. So, into the nitty gritty.
The writing was unimpressive. On episode 4, when I was considering dropping the show, the writers decided to change the pace. This was a good move and kept the show interesting, so props to them for th…

Hilarious premise for an isekai that sort of flubs the landing
I'll keep this short. This is a weird anime. It's not really about wrestling until the end. More so, it's about how the main LOVES animals. Like really loves them. Even when the love is unwanted.. For example, early on he sees a wolf man who is an evil criminal type. He basically rapes him (implied, not shown) and then a recurring joke is the wolf guy has PTSD attacks about it. I found that HILARIOUS. you might not. The story sort of makes no sense either and thats kind of it's charm in a way. I was going to give it a 7 but the last episode is such a let down and very anti-climatic. There is also too many characters that seem pointless or have no real use and you wonder why they are around. Actually that's almost every charac…

Ok, as one reviewer said that this has "Horrible Fan-fiction" wlep, he's absolutely right,cu'z it does it was indeed studio ENGI's first ever production and I can already tell you the they made a bad start of even thinking about making something that combines the usual isekai themed anime with something from WWE. though casting a wrestler in a isekai themed anime would be unique, unfortunately was just horrible when they adapted such character in a retard kind of way especially when the original creator Natsuki Akatsuki who thinks after his success with Konosuba would end up with another amazing isekai themed anime, well, he just fucked it, cu'z this one had the character, Genzo, be this zoophiliic Son of a Gun, so how do I rate this????:

Don't call him the demon beast slayer. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CALL HIM THE DEMON BEAST SLAYER. If you want a nice German Suplex, along with his cat-girl side kick Shigure stealing your priceless weapon, than by all means, go right ahead.
This has to be, one of the absolutely most bizarre ass animes I've ever seen, and I was captivated from the get go. You wanna talk about a unique isekai? This is it.
Picture this. Genzo gets transported to this foreign world, teeming with demon beasts, and a guild house, where people generally go to accept quests to kill such beasts. Lucky for the world, the man they summoned, is absolutely infatuated with any animal/beast/demi-human/etc. It takes the characters in this world, no time at all, to learn that any speak of hurting creatures, will incur Genz…

Terrible fanfiction based on a great source material.
This is the kind of adaptation that I never expected to experience again - because it’s not the early 00s anymore and Studio Gonzo (of that era) is, thankfully, dead. If you’ve had the misfortune of watching Hellsing TV, Rosario + Vampire or FMA 2003 I can just go ahead and say this show is one of those. If not - well, this is a manga “adaptation” that starts by following the manga plot, switches to the completely original material halfway, and the twist is that the anime-original parts are garbage. Here’s a bunch of ways in which this anime fails:
1) Trying to fit square pegs in round holes.
So, the manga is written by Akatsuki Natsume of Konosuba fame, and it basically is a Konosuba re-skin. Meaning, a gut-busting situational comed…

Hey, it is wrestling.
I try to keep this as much spoiler free as I can.
So the story starts when our mc Genzo is in the middle of wwe game but gets summoned in the middle of it. He meets the summoner. He needs to take down the Demon King as usual and kill demon beasts, but since Genzo loves animals he gets angry and it is suplex time. His dream is to show the people that demon beasts can be tamed with love. He wants to make a pet shop.
Characters: Genzo is a pro wrestler who loves animals and gets angry at anyone who hurts them. He also hates his nickname "Demon Beast Killer". Shigure is a wolf girl. She likes money. She works with Genzo but she honestly does most of the work to support Genzos Dream. Hanako is a half dragon I think. She loves eating and thats her whole character. Carmil…

Out of the door Kemono Michi was one hell of a romp to go through on a weekly basis. While it seemed like it had little going for it due to its use of a tiresome isekai gimmick, sub-par production value, and barely anything plot and characters. What it did have however is a great use of comedy that made the show an enjoyable ride due to how easily funny it was.
The comedy that Kemono Michi uses isn’t really anything exceptional, in fact I would consider it downright predictable. A sort of predictable-ness where you sort of already know what’s going to be the punchline halfway through the set-up. Nevertheless the pay-off for the punchline are handled really well by going full throttle with the delivery and timing.
After a while however the jokes begin to run a bit dry due to how repetiti…

Everyone: "Please, for the love of God, are we done with Isekai shows?"
Japan: "What's that you say? You need MORE Isekai shows? Here you go..." *pulls another one*
Everyone: OH LOOK! Another Isekai! By the author of one of the best Isekai comedies of recent years (KonoSuba)? Oh boy, this sure looks interesting!
Me after 12 episodes: OK...meh it's fine....
Honestly, the wraith of Isekai shows is becoming even a cliche at this point, just look at this season's offerings as a whole and tell me if the ever popular Isekai trope is gonna be away at any point in time.
For this show, while the concept was somewhat unique with forging pretty much a "WWE Wrestlemania" environment, hammering such mindset is the world's greatest pro wrestler by the name of Genzo Shibata, it sure looks like a recipe…

The golden age of isekai anime continues and there doesn’t seem to be any signs of it slowing down. Anime fans in 2019 should just accept that we’re going to get even more of these in the future from now on. And joining the expansive lineup, Kemono Michi marks its terrority with an animal lover and professional wrestler named Genzo Shibata.
Before actually watching this show, one should take notice the author of the series. Natsume Akatsuki, known for their work with the Konosuba franchise, created this anime and to no one’s surprise, his stylish humor also gets a similar treatment. Does that mean the anime itself is entirely made of parody? The answer is yes and no. Kemono Michi plays on its isekai tropes by introducing some of its standard running gags but also leans more into selling i…

It feels like the anime gods just spin a wheel to decide what becomes an Isekai. We’ve had Isekai where the protagonist is an evil Overlord, a Hitler Loli, an Otaku, another Otaku, yet another Otaku, an Otaku who is overpowered, another Otaku who is overpowered, a Daemon Lord, a book worm, a slime, a certain blue hedgehog, you get the god-damn point. So this time, wheel has decided to land on, “Wrestler, in another world.” No doubt about it, this sounds stupid but considering that the show we are talking about today was originally created by the same author who worked on Konosuba, I was intrigued. So lets talk about it shall we?
Sit back, relax as I present to you THE REIGNING! DEFENDING! UNDISPUTED, ISEKAI CHAMPION! HATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGE, KEMONO MICHI!!!!!!
