The Holy Grail of Eris

The Verdict: A Mixed Bag of Visuals and Choppy Writing ​ The Plot: A "Budget" Hack Job The story suffers from what can only be described as a loathsome "plot chop." The pacing feels rushed and disjointed, likely due to budget constraints or poor adaptation choices. It lacks the depth you’d expect from a solid series; honestly, if this had been a Chinese (CN) production, the execution likely would have been far more polished. ​ The Art: The Main Attraction The art is the clear standout here. The character designs are specifically featuring a well-defined BBWC (big boobs with cleavage) aesthetic that doesn't miss. If you are here for thevisuals, the artist delivers, even if the writers didn't. ​ Who is this for? ​ The Target: This seems geared toward the "people at work" demographic looking for a quick, visually-driven distraction. ​ The "Desire" Crowd: Anyone primarily motivated by the specific art style and character designs will likely enjoy this to the max. ​ Who should skip it? If you are looking for a cohesive story featuring a villainess counterattack, genuine female friendship, and a strict no-romance (No CP) plot, this is a hard pass. Despite having the individual elements, it fails to weave them into a satisfying narrative. ​ Bottom Line: It’s a series of "what ifs." BBWC trapped in a chopped-up story.

"You have this series at a low rating, yet you recommend it to people?" Allow me to explain. Usually, I open my review with a goofy or fun opening, especially since this anime was about possession. But for this anime, I can't. I highly recommend reading either the Light Novel or the manga. The pacing in the OG material was much better than the anime. Even so, the anime still captures the bare minimum of the series. A pathway to the great content. Basically, it's a way to enter the real deal. Anyway, let's start the review.How did I find this? I search for a story about possession that isn't an H. Yeah, I know it's almost impossible these days and ages. Yet, I found it! I'm not gonna tell you where I found the thread talking about this series, but I can tell you that this series is in MangaUP! Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?) POSSESSION! I think at this point, you know how I feel about a ghost story. They are a very interesting story to me, and I crave more. Platform Aniplus Asia (Southeast Asia), Aniplus TV (South Korea), Bahamut Anime Crazy (Taiwan), Bilibili Global (South Asia & Southeast Asia), and Crunchyroll. The review; Plot/Story It's a revenge story where the woman who does the revenge was killed in the first minutes of the episode and came back as a ghost 10 years after she was killed. How? By binding her spirit to a seven-year-old girl. Then, ten years later, the girl was bound by the ghost, Scarlett Castiel. The story began when the MC, Constance Grail (Connie), agreed to help Scarlett with her revenge. But here is the thing, though, I've read eight chapters of the manga. It has a lot of movement. The story didn't just focus on the revenge. The villain was planning, a third party was also involved, and not only that, even the people who died over the past ten years also got involved. Basically, it was a complicated masterpiece. Too bad the anime butchered the story because of the pacing. Let me tell you that eight chapters of the manga (which, by the way, were about 50 to 60 pages long) were squished into THREE EPISODES. Yes! It's that bad. I wouldn't complain if one chapter were only twenty pages long. But 50 per chapter? Yeah, you've done badly. Character I would have talked about the characters, but I just have to be honest, it's hard, even for a manga reader like me, to justify the characters' development. The pacing was so fast. The only great thing about these characters is their overall design. OST/SFX The OP and ED were a masterpiece, definitely one of my favorites of this season. Animation It was watchable. It's not that bad, but it's not that great either. I have never seen any Ashi Productions anime, but by the looks of things, they don't have many anime in their catalog that were popular. It's great to see one of them. It's just too bad that I witnessed one of their worst-paced anime. VA They are all great, especially Scarlett. Being a vengeance ghost, Scarlett was fantastic. Thank you for your performance, Sayumi-san. I appreciate it. Bonus segment I make this section to talk about pacing! Let me be clear. I recommend this anime not because it was a good anime, but because it was a good way to easily get into the manga or light novel. The story in the anime captures a small amount of detail in the grand scale of the source material. It can get you invested in the world of HoGeRis. The conclusion; Enjoyable I did enjoy it. It's just sad that the pacing was bad. Worthable YES! I watch this weekly. And I bet you can watch it bingely. Delivery It was alright. Not the best anime of this season, but I can say it was a pretty great watch. OG Sauce Definitely a must-read. After you invest in the world of HoGeRis, please read the manga or the LN from the beginning. It was a great read. It is also a great way to understand what happened in the anime. Overall 6.4/10 I would still recommend this to people who are curious about the story in a gist. I highly recommend reading the source material, though.

Pretty big disappointment for me. When it started out I absolutely loved it with the potential to be best of the season for me, but it got worse and worse over time. The plot got too convoluted. No more verbal beat downs by Scarlett, she just served as a deus ex machina to get the mc out of the stupid shit she constantly got herself into. And the promised revenge didn't feel like revenge at all with the perpetrators going completely scot-free or getting killed by third parties without the mc involvement. By the end I didn't care about any of them anymore, lots ofwasted potential. The other thing which is absolutely dogshit is forced relationship . The whole story isn't about revenge it's just a collection of tragic moments .

I watched this pretty much on autopilot, but the story never made much sense and they kept adding more characters and plot lines which I constantly felt like I wasn't following. By the time a character's scene would end was when I remembered vaguely who the character was. OP song had a pretty nice start, but overall wasn't memorable enough to put in any playlist. Art was decent, I don't recall any scene where I could judge the animation, mostly static conversation scenes. If there was animation, it was probably average considering I don't remember anything about it. Characters were pretty boring. Noone seemed to have a reasonablemotive for any of their actions except maybe the villains and Scarlet's Dad.
