A true masterpiece. An Isekai story told in one of the most original ways I've seen. I've been an Isekai fan for a very long time and this is honestly one of the best I've seen. The pacing is great, story coherent, and the plot-twists are smart. While being funny in many parts, it's also an absolute tearjerker.
It is heavily focused on romance, which is not on the top of my favorite genres these days, but I still found myself enjoying it immensely. The only thing I find people may be turned off by is the 3D characters. Personally, I feel that they're done well enough to avoid breaking immersion. Story is the most important thing to me after all.
I really enjoyed the soundtracks, so much that I added them to my Spotify.
Overall a really good watch. A real standout among the thousands o…

How Dare You is one of those isekai series that surprised me; Instead of relying on the usual fantasy setting.The main characters are transported into an online story and find themselves in an ancient China, in the imperial court, where they must fight with political intrigue, and power struggles just to survive.
The series begins as a romantic comedy, but toward the end of the first season and especially throughout the second SE, it evolves into a deeply emotional and very engaging story. The editing, soundtrack, and ending theme are all professionally fitting with the story.
Also the romantic narrative never carries the entire donghua. Court politics, power struggles, rebellions, and occasional battles make the donghua more attractive, rather than repetitive.
If you enjoy romance with a…

I really love this show. It’s very charming. The female lead is very cute- sensible and down to earth, but also loves to put on a show. The male lead is darker, but interesting. Their dynamic is really cute. There are also other loveable side characters, including at least two strong female characters.
One of the best things about this show is its humor. The jokes are really funny and I laughed a lot. At the same time, while there’s a lot of light-hearted fun, there’s also a lot of actual heart, with real emotions and connections. A great chord-based BGM brings it all to life- it made me think of a warm, firelit room every time it came on.
I’ve seen a lot of isekai by now, and in terms of handling the transmigration itself, this is one of the better ones. It doesn’t gloss over the trans…

What's with the low rating? This one was actually so good. Sure the animation is not easy to get used to but apart from that the storyline is pretty solid and unique. It might seem shallow at the beginning but don't judge it until you get to the last episode, there are plot twists which makes it better. There's also going to be a C-drama adaptation for this one so if you really don't like the animation you can wait for that, but I would definitely recommend the story– doesn't matter in which form. Looking forward for the 2nd Season!

Brilliant. The Chinese anime industry has been knocking it out of the park lately.
It's an anime about modern day people who've been isekai'd into a story set in the ancient China. One is now an Emperor of Xia, and the other is his concubine. Now these two, and a couple of others, have to navigate in a hostile world of political intrigue, assassins behind every corner and figuring out what the other person thinks of them. The romance is beautiful. It's a mix of childish innocence and Victorian novel style. The looks they give each other are to die for. The story itself is very expansive. Something's always happening on the screen and behind the scenes. The pacing of it all is superb.
Music is what turns this from an 8, to a 10. Whoever was in charge of it is a master of invoking emotio…

Really liked this! Usually it's only one person that gets transmigrated, but here there are more people, which makes it more interesting. I fint it unique, and different than the typical transmigration stories I've seen/read, which had me hooked. Literally finished it in one night!! Also, the relationships between the mains are very cute <3
Also, the art may not be for everyone, but I would definitely still give it a try!
The story is a bit of action, comedy, drama and romance :) The characters are all very different, unique. The male lead is so kind to the female lead, and the female lead is very funny. The story has so many twists, which is super interesting and makes you want to watch more and more. I need season 2!
