The Asterisk War (Netflix)

Genre; Pretty slight ecchi and harem, but mainly action

I think it started somehow interesting, but became repetitive, especially in the tournament. A plot that is barely advancing, of which the tournament takes a large place in, add random weapons each is carrying and you got your pretty average action anime.

The initial plot device of the lost sister doesn't advance much at all, and when you got a 16yo protagonist that is not a pervert, but seemingly seems to see a 13yo naked or her having feelings for him or whatever, that's pretty cringe.

There are also some concepts, such as among special humans are even more special ones, but there is simply no difference in the story line regarding them - why introduce that in the first place then? There are tons of anime that have done that much better, where these even more rare humans are often ousted from society, like the cursed children in Black Bullet.

The fights in this anime often come over as cheap as well as randomly, think being it closely to I am almost to loose, but this anime just randomly puts down a random weapon concept to have me win this fight!

And why is it even named like that, there isn't a war at all in here. :confused:

Honestly, at some point I just didn't care about anything in the anime at all.

Rating: 4/10
