God, i genuinely dont know how to start with this mess.Ubel Blatt first caught my attention,because the source material wasnt some stupid modern day isekai powerfantasy but actually a real fantasy manga from 2004..With that i was a little stoked to see its older story made for today’s overcrowded fantasy market. I expected it to stand out. And it did. In the worst way possible.
This anime.. Dude this anime…is such a messssssssss . I had to watch it twice to fully understand what the hell i was watching. Every single thing about it flops on such a level that the whole thing feels really clumsy, lazy, goofy ,ugly .
STORY/CHARACTERS SUCKS
Did this anime even have a story? Because i cannot remember much outside of the premise. Some edgy overpowered dude kills somee evil guys. There are also…

Oh my god this thing was a disaster. When making an anime where the people behind it want to sacrifice good storytelling, world building, establishing characters and what not in order to just right straight into the action, they should have decent animation quality for the fight scenes, like good fight choreography, fluid movements, and everything else in in between. This anime doesn't have it.
The first episode captivated me with the art style used, more especially the background, they really set out to establishing a good fantasy world, differentiate themselves from the pool of the same stuff found in a lot of fantasy anime, maybe that's because it's a dark fantasy genre. I even like the character designs but the amount of females in this show not having anything to wear, only g-string…

Well, it could have been a lot worse.
A major problem with this series is that they skip a lot of what happens in the manga, but that also includes volume 0. So, for those who haven't read the manga series, you have to start with volume 0 and not the volume one. In this anime they constantly show flash backs, but the flash backs that are more important are the ones that state what's he's doing, and some characters that he meets. But they don't do that here. They just throw that extremely short flash back that doesn't really show anything and expect you to have read volume 0. They should have just started with volume 0 and most of the weird plot holes would be fixed. (Trying not to spoil as much as possible, but if you watch it, you'll know what I mean).
They also skip a lot of things th…

The story of the anime would be good if anything werent happened too fast. When you watching it, it looks like they just wanted to make anime faster to bring the story to the manga. Its that kind of anime that 60% of people would not like it couse of the speed of story happening. But at the end story was fine it could be better if they make it slowly than this. I kinda prefer to watch it as a serial anime (with slower event).
I give it 6 just for art and plot. It was fine for me not that worste nor that good.
If you just want to spend your time go watch this if your time is important for you i dont recommend this anime to you my friend.

Here we have an anime with an underdeveloped storyline. According to the short description, this should be a bloody act of revenge in the style of kill Bill. However, we have an avenging angel with various limitations, which prevents him from becoming an IMBA protagonist and does not inspire any admiration.
We also don't learn anything about how he came back or why he got these abilities or did he always have them? Over the course of the episodes, we are repeatedly shown flashes from the past. This gives us a good impression of the gravity of the betrayal.
The moon plays an essential role for our protagonist, which means that scenes are mainly shown in the evening hours. This makes the world very bleak and not really worth living in. The local rulers are all up to their eyeballs. They ma…

I will never forgive animation "enthusiasts."
Ubel Blatt is a phenominal dark fantasy about a guy trying to kill 7 other guys who pissed him off 20 years ago. The side characters are fun, the plot is pretty straightforward, and the comedy is also pretty on point, even if more than a little dark. The score isnt great, but I really dont care too much.
But the problem I have with the reviews this anime seems to be getting are the outrageous insults to the animation of the show, claiming that it makes the adaptation of a good story unwatchable. THIS IS NOT TRUE. The animation is more than fine, and you should never let something so silly get in your way of a good fantasy such as Ubel Blatt.

ÜBEL BLATT – Review
Übel Blatt is what happens when a dark fantasy world promises depth, betrayal, and vengeance — but delivers it through a fog of uneven storytelling and underwhelming execution.
Story
Years ago, the mighty Szaalanden Empire sent fourteen legendary warriors to fight a powerful threat known as the Wischtech. Only seven returned. The official narrative branded the others as traitors and glorified the survivors as national heroes — “The Seven Heroes.”
Two decades later, a mysterious, youthful swordsman named Köinzell begins hunting these very heroes. His identity is obvious from the start, and his mission is as personal as it is political: to unveil the truth buried under years of lies and imperial propaganda.
The premise sounds excellent — a revenge tale that challenge…

It's a good anime. Not the best, animation-wise, but it's got a good story. One of the few anime that makes me actually want to read its source material rather than wait for a new season!
But not in a bad way, it's just that the story is very good while the adaptation is just good.
Not an isekai, actually dark, interesting characters and concepts - it's a yes for me!
Plot: 9/10 (darn good gritty dark fantasy setting)
Characters: 6.5/10 (sadly they are tridimensional characters in a bidimensional setup, restricted by the number of episodes. Still, they don't feel dull or forced most of the time)
Pacing: 8.5/10 (pretty lively pacing, but it felt rushed in several parts)
Execution: 5/10 (frankly, while the story is good, the animation and audio are subpar. I WISH it got more budget, or a…

The plot is interesting and has good potential. Dark fantasy.
but the way they handled the manga is a disaster. There is no plot, they jumped into it all of a sudden. You don't understand the characters or the concepts. There was literally no unity in the plot. As someone who can't read manga, it was very difficult to follow the events, people and concepts.
I progressed by reading what I could find while watching to understand.
And the anime quality wasn't good either.
I didn't read the manga but it's an interesting plot but the way it's handled is terrible.
And it's 2025 and the nudity issue is still being carried out through female characters, let's accept the big characters to some extent but the Peepi character is basically a child and the way he's dressed is disturbing.
I didn't under…

Übel Blatt was a mid-tier but not bad dark fantasy manga.
According to the world’s lore, sex is a fundamental driving force behind the characters — not just a fanservice element. In the anime, however, everything was drastically changed. Because of this, the dialogue was modified, and the characters come across as flat and stupid.
The manga delivers its story in a burst-like rhythm, as if flipping through each page with momentum — while the anime feels like someone tried to adapt it by just scanning pages and animating them lifelessly. The manga is a genuinely enjoyable read, while this video adaptation is hard to sit through.
Sadly, this decent manga won’t be getting a new fanbase.

There is nothing more frustrating than a great story of another medium, in this case manga, being absolutely butchered so disastrously. The animation art style is pretty lackluster and just overall doesn't fit the tone their trying to portray, but could still work if the story was even a fraction of the manga's. The fact is that they adapted this cutting out the context, the motivation, and anything that made me love it. This is a hollow shell of the material and it sadly doesn't even work as it's own thing. Save yourself the time and either read the manga or watch something else.

I don't usually write reviews but this anime was so bad and it annoyed me so much that I had to write something to avoid people from going through the same suffering as I went by watching this.
The MC is terrible, he starts with one personality and then keep changing it from time to time. To be honest, there are no good characters on this anime, they're all awfully written and the execution is even worse.
The plot is all over the place to a point where there is no ACTUAL plot. The revenge story goes away pretty fast, they just keep introducing new stuff with no explanation whatsoever, random flashbacks thrown in the middle of the episode to try to explain what is happening on the screen.
The animation is bad, the effects are bad, the fight scenes are bad. If you watch with censorship it…

1. Plot
The plot is very interesting and has a lot of potential, however, they don’t execute the climax scenes well, as they lack impact. - 8/10
2. Main character
The main character is cold but, at the same time, shows emotions, making him feel more human. He is well-developed, and we can understand why he seeks revenge. - 7/10
3. Side characters
The side characters lack depth and backstories; they just exist. However, they have good designs. - 5/10
3. Animation The animation was okay sometimes it showcased beautiful scenes, but nothing incredible. - 6/10
4. Opinion
This anime doesn’t have incredible animation it’s mid. The side characters are also mid, but the plot is very interesting. The hero was betrayed and now seeks revenge on the traitors, who are seen as heroes. The reason I…

The production is absolutely dogshit but the story screams potential through the gaps. I'm conflicted about the studio Satelight. It is picking up and giving visibility to old great mangas like this and Helck but adapting them bad. Since Helck didn't get a season 2, I suspect Ubel Blatt was decided to be given worse pacing to fit more of it's story. I have only looked a bit of the manga yet and the anime adaptation has heavily avoided gore, snuff and worst of all fights. I don't know whether limiting the fights is due to lack of skill in the studio or to go through the plot fast. The last episode particularly, had pretty good production first half, for once in the entire series, especially the fight; so the reason might be the latter.
This is a revenge story but does not look edgy yet as…

I don't know what to say exactly . when it got announced i was hyped because manga is pretty dope with dark fantasy and revange arcs but studio literally ruined everything . it's like studio tried to compress story . so, i advice to read manga before watching adaptation because starting eps are hella confusing for non manga watchers .
Art style , ost , characters design and voice acting are good the only thing it lacks is pacing , execution of story telling and more emotions into build ups . Hope so , they can improve in next season because plot is pretty intresting and catchy . All i say it's a must watch for dark fantasy lovers .

When I first heard that Übel Blatt was set to get an anime adaptation two decades after the manga started, I was honestly in disbelief. I thought it was one of those manga that just would never ever get an anime. I was hyped beyond belief, but I also feared the idea that it would get butchered, and the reactions I had seen online from the first episode would seemingly confirm my worst fears.
Then I actually got around to watching it and…I actually ended up having a good time, with it being nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be. I continued watching the anime, and it kept getting better each episode, eventually hitting its stride halfway through. I’ll make a list of what I liked and what I disliked about this anime adaptation for the sake of making this review more objective.

When this was announced, I saw the cover art of a cute elf boy (he's actually demonic) with long braids and thought- oh yes sure this looks interesting. When I learned it was an epic fantasy, I was excited. When I found out it's actually a very long manga series that started in the early 2000s- I was surprised. When Amazon picked it up- I was apprehensive- but I have access to someone's ^_~ so no problem there. But when I saw the first episode of the anime.... I was laughing.
How does this look so terrible? Why is that monster head just sitting there on the ground and why does it look so goofy? Why is everyone in this show so dead serious, but I'm finding it hilarious?
Ubel Blatt (which I quickly nicknamed Ubel SPLATT, then Ubel BLEAAAAAARGHHHH!!!) is one of the most perplexing viewing e…

Luckily (for me), this review will be short(er). Don't know the sauce, don't care for the sauce. This anime is sht. Spoilers free.
The animation, designs and VFX are horrible. No decent cinematography. Maybe a couple of nice frames, or even excellent one (most of them reserved for the last episode), and thats it. Sh***y soundtrack, the music (symphonic/heavy-metal/choir) always blaring while fighting occurs, like some epic thing is going down, while also some kind of music thing still goin on while no battle occurs.. The OP and ED are meh, it could be ok, but its not working for this anime. The VAs had no real work, always "angry".
The idea for the story might be interesting, but the execution is horrendous. Full of plotholes, sh***y dialogue, lousy exposition dump, no character growth, n…

Disappointing. Painful to watch. Bland. Rushed. Watered down. I remember reading the source manga back in the day, it didn’t leave as huge of an impression as something like Berserk did, but it was good in its own way. And yet, this way was completely lost in translation to anime, with an added insult of being low on budget. Let me dive a bit into details.
Visuals. This is the most noticeable problem here: it is just bad. From basic characters with lacking details and missed tone to combat sequences animated into 5 still frames or forced into loops to drag the time. How can a fight in manga have more frames than the anime adaptation of said manga? Half of the effects look like cheap CGI strapped onto a static frame, some effects just didn’t make it into the anime at all. Things that are su…

Übel Blatt — Congrats on conducting a speedrun that'll lose your audience right from the get-go. How did this happen and go so out of hand?
I am a firm believer that when shows present their content in the typical fashion, it needs to be in the 3Cs: clear, concise, and consistent. Yet, some people just don't share that sentiment and proceed to yank the standard that's given in the vein of The Promised Neverland's bastardized sequel, rushing through the source material and providing little to no context; that, at the end of the day, may be what the anime envisioned it to be, but with many crucial sacrifices along the way. And in this Winter season, there's one very respected work that got the Promised Neverland treatment so bad that I don't even know where to start: mangaka Etorouji Shiono…
