Homoerotic fighting anime from the director of Free!, Banana Fish, and SK8
Arajin wants to find a cute girl and lose his virginity, but he is in a universe where every lad is a hottie.
His childhood friend looks like this:
His crush's brother looks like this:
His classmates look like this:
Sussy cafe staff looks like this:
And his crush has eyes only for her brother:
But let's be honest, our main lead has a whole harem awaiting him with open arms (or maybe fists).

I finished watching the first Ep of Bucchigiri and tbh I really liked it and tbh I'm really invested, So I checked the comments and people are already asking and theorizing if it was gonna be gay (tbh valid question because the Director did direct banana fish and skate infinity) and the outro really made me think that it wasn't and everybody was like that one chick, but looking back at the trailers I think there are gonna be fruity undertones ESPECIALLY with the MC and Matakara Asamine.

An Isekai anime that doesn't use only stereotyping is refreshing!
(as a woman it’s nice to not roll my eyes or sigh for every panty shot or normalized sexual harassment behavior from the male hero)
Suzune and Ryusen relantionship
One of my favorite : Yes, Woman and man can spend time together and being friends. It is nice to enjoy time with a colleague.
(well, we don’t know for sure if their relantionship will evolve. Ship them if you want. For now my ace heart was pleased).
Multidimensional characters are what I crave !
Within 5 minutes of the episode we have three stereotypes :
- Genious student council president : smart, team leadar, sportive … : Suzune
- Smart, capable and composed student council vice-president : Ryusen
- normal guy : Usato
Don't get me wrong, clichés and stereotypes are useful. They give you a sense of knowledge and help you get into the story more easily.
Although when someone is only the "funny guy/girl" who is a cute and silly cinnamon roll for 10 episodes. Then, say an inspirational quote for the last episode, it is a frustrating and quite boring experience.
That’s why, when the magic circle appeared I was happily surprised.
Ryusen is freaking out. Usato is surprised but almost chill and Suzune is really excited about the event
That’s the moment, I said to myself, it might be interesting.
Usato has empathy and is attentive to his surrondings (I link it to the bird scene). Before saying Ryusen as to calm down, Usato acknowlegdes his anger and makes him understand that it is not a good option for them.
Like in real life, only shooting to someone to stop is often not effective, but if you add emotion (by example : « you seem hurt let’s discuss about it » or « you are right to be angry but it’s not my fault » …) you create a space for both your emotion to connect (at least in my real life experience maybe their is an on/off bouton I haven’t discovered yet).
THIS, THIS !
Am I too old ? Is the world a better place now for teenagers ? (calm down. I am not your mom, I am only in my late-twenties) ,or I have watched too many crappy or clichéd anime.
Simply, two guys checking how they are feeling. « Like, are you alright dude ? I am pretty angry to be here. How about you ? ».
No stupid joke, nothing pervy about the magician « nun outfit » (I don’t mak judgmenys, she is rocking this outfit).It feels realistic. Amazing.
To sum up, I enjoyed being surprised. I have watched countless anime for years and more often than not you can predict what will happen or what characters will say. I know I am not the only one. Sadly we are not super human, it is the source material which is poor.
Suzune is not the « Damsel in distress » or the nurse / the one caring for the guys . In fact she is the main character in spirit. Usato and Ryusen are bonding over their insecurities about being
thrown out into another world (in opposition to Suzune who is living her best life).
Additionally, I am sick and tired of genre stereotypes. . Woman as to be gentle, elegant, weak … Man have to be strong, fearless, insensitve …
It doesn’t seem like it in this anime, I have hope
