Fun Ride to Youkai World
This turned out to be a much better show than my expectations. Its blend of fantasy, mystery, horror, romance and comedy, is well balanced. While the romance aspect is somewhat understated, all the other genres are fleshed out quite effectively. There is also some cool action.Although E1 was good, it becomes a lot more interesting from E2 and it keeps getting better and better. This one is kinda similar to Enigma (Thai drama) but with the addition of comedy. Moreover the mysteries of the Youkai world are unveiled in an intriguing manner. Thanks to the blend of comedy, mystery, fantasy and action, there isnt a single dull moment throughout, each episode is genuinely engaging. There might be a few flaws in it but what matters is it was engaging af. 35 min X 8Ep format greatly help in keeping you engaged. The episodes are short yet fast paced, leaving no room for boredom.
Furthermore, im glad they didnt turn FL into a good hearted demon/youkai. She was on a mission and she actually killed those guardians, which was a requirement for her to fulfill her mission.
The open ended ending sets the stage for S2, leaving everyone eager to see what unfolds next.
Overall i would rate it around 8.8-9.0/10.

I really need a Season 2 for this!!
Firstly, I'd totally recommend this show if people out there want a soft romance with Fantasy, Action and Comedy elements mixed into it.The main reason I began the series was the description. As a person who always reads the description first, I have this tendency to drop japanese series without much thought to it, but this time I assure you this series was so much better than what I thought.
As the title of this review says, I think with the limited japanese series I've watched, this one had the best fight scenes. I got hooked up for them from the start.
Then came the comedy. Laughed throughout the show. And the Fantasy, with the whole Youkai, it was a new type of fantasy I'd watched.
Finally, the cute romance. It was so cute that I have a whole list of cute romance shows like this. I loved how Izzy kept protecting Hachi and how Hachi kept on going about how she shouldn't kill anyone anymore. It was cute.

Short and Decent Watch
Honestly quite surprised by how decent this was! Short and sweet with just 8 30-minute episodes. There were some awkward acting at times but overall the show was really enjoyable with lots of genuinely hilarious scenes. The fight sequences were cool too though I wish they lasted a bit more longer. I think thereβs still much story to tell so a 2nd season would be nice :)Was this review helpful to you?

Hopefully there will be a second season.
Really looking forward to the sequel, I hope there are no murders or people dying in vain, and more slice of life moments that are funny and entertaining.I like Izzy's innocent and very cute appearance when facing contemporary Japanese life.
Who knows who the bad guy is actually doesn't really matter, because the attraction of this series is the romantic relationships. The many interests and points of view make it feel complicated and difficult to determine whose side the audience should side with.
Some unimportant characters somehow have to be sacrificed and die without making significant story developments. I'd rather have them stay alive and experience character development. For example, a character with the ability to change shape. It appeared very quickly, and then suddenly it had to end.
I'm really looking forward to the continuation of the story and hopefully Izzy and Tadashi can often have their happy moments.

Gaijin Writers
This is not a real Asian drama. The writers for this slop arent japanese or native to asian countries, but western asians and a white man. This is why there is forced diversity shit characters and too many halfs.hard drop when I saw the title and the bad MC with his token half black friend.
Japan doesnt need ESG forced diversity shit in these shows, Do not watch it if you think it's gonna be a fun J Drama. It's basically hollywood tier trash. Unrealistic japan life, too western leaning. Characters act stupid and non-japanese.
