The show with the excessively long title (which can be more sensibly shorted to HameFura<\/a> if you’re so inclined) is a slightly unconventional isekai<\/a> variant in which the protagonist doesn’t actually have any notable abilities. Her lack of notable skill is, in fact, apparently the very reason all the other characters like her so much (well, that and the way she unconsciously steals all the character-specific romance events for herself).

A slightly more conventional ‘magical academy’ series, Lapis Re:Lights<\/a> starts out featuring some pretty generic character behavior and event developments. Unilaterally forcing Tiara into Rosetta’s group at the beginning was completely unnecessary and leaves a bad taste, while the eventual idol reveal in the second episode (which almost completely invalidates the setting’s premise) is just soul-crushingly banal. I couldn’t bring myself to go any further.<\/p>\n

Then there’s also Honzuki no Gekokujou<\/a>, another reincarnation-based fantasy isekai with an unpowered protagonist, which I long suspected wouldn’t appeal to me based on said protagonist being a child. A suspicion that turned out to be completely accurate.<\/p>\n
