Anime Impressions: The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

<p>It wouldn&&num;8217&semi;t be a proper season if we didn&&num;8217&semi;t have at least one anime targeted towards the horny weebs out there&comma; and this season&comma; that job falls on The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;i0&period;wp&period;com&sol;www&period;animefeminist&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;01&sol;Hidden-Dungeon-00&period;jpg&quest;fit&equals;1920&percnt;2C1080&amp&semi;ssl&equals;1" alt&equals;"The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter – Episode 1 " width&equals;"1920" height&equals;"1080" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">Introduction<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The anime is set in a fantasy world that includes various hidden dungeons that houses dangerous monsters and valuable loot&period; In the first episode we are introduced to Noir Starga&comma; the sun of a poor noble who gets cheated out of a job and is subsequently in need of employment&period; Due to this&comma; he decides to become a hero&period; To gain the necessary skills to do so&comma; he explores the titular hidden dungeon where he meets Olivia Servant&comma; an entrapped boisterous and powerful adventurer who shares her overpowered skills with him&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>These typical <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;anime-impressions-princess-connect-redive&sol;">RPG-like<&sol;a> skills include being able to literally create any other skill&comma; as well as edit and gift others said skills&period; Thanks to these skills&comma; Noir is able to pass the Hero entrance exam and is one step closer to becoming a full-fledged hero&period; Of course&comma; if this was your usual generic <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;anime-impressions-mushoku-tensei-jobless-reincarnation&sol;">fantasy anime<&sol;a>&comma; the first episode would just stop right there&period; But Hidden dungeon is a little unlike the rest despite still being generic&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;pbs&period;twimg&period;com&sol;media&sol;ErmgKZ2VcAA4ZqJ&quest;format&equals;jpg&amp&semi;name&equals;large" alt&equals;"Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter" width&equals;"1600" height&equals;"900" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">Ladykiller in Noir<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>See&comma; to use these skills&comma; Noir will need to have an adequate amount of LP &lpar;life points&rpar; which varies depending on the skill&comma; and to refill these points&comma; he&&num;8217&semi;ll need to do things that make him &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;feel good” such as eating and spending money&period; But of course&comma; the anime chooses to focus solely on the other raunchier ways such as kissing&comma; hugging&comma; fondling and more as they provide more LP for lack of a better excuse&period; Lucky for Noir&comma; he not only has a younger sister that dotes and hugs him on a regular basis&comma; he also has an almost too devout childhood friend named Emma Brightness&comma; who he awkwardly French kisses regularly to top off his LP&period; And that&&num;8217&semi;s basically the anime&&num;8217&semi;s whole gimmick&period; In each episode so far&comma; Noir moves from one goal to the next with the aid of his overpowered skills and slowly increasing harem&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;i&period;redd&period;it&sol;wtkcsht7j6a61&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter" width&equals;"1920" height&equals;"1080" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">Same Type of Trash<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>So the anime is just as trashy and raunchy as you&&num;8217&semi;d heard or expected&period; The odd thing is how the anime tries to paint Noir as a good guy&comma; yet he does questionable things like reducing a girl&&num;8217&semi;s breasts without consent or insisting on seeing a girl&&num;8217&semi;s panties&period; The other characters like Emma and Lola Metrose &lpar;Noir’s Guild supervisor&rpar; also have very little personality and only act as damsels to hype up the protagonist as much as possible&period; The only person who&&num;8217&semi;s at least a little enjoyable to watch was Olivia&comma; as she&&num;8217&semi;s the only one in the anime so far who doesn&&num;8217&semi;t have a generic&comma; watered-down personality&period; Other than that&comma; the plot in its entirety is almost nonexistent as whatever goal Noir may have had just seemed like an excuse to present how he’ll either use his god-like abilities to conquer his hurdles without any struggles or&comma; more likely&comma; to show how much fan service it can shove into a single episode&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>So far&comma; it seems the fan service is the most&comma; if not all the anime has to offer and the kissing scenes &lpar;which is the worst of the fan service we’ve seen so far&rpar; are animated quite lazily&period; Awful kissing aside&comma; the overall animation is just decent&comma; nothing incredible or blinding&comma; and the character designs are as standard as you can get&period; The point is&comma; The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter doesn&&num;8217&semi;t bring anything innovative&comma; creative&comma; or even exciting and instead opts to shove fan service at the viewer&&num;8217&semi;s faces to compensate for its mediocrity&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;miro&period;medium&period;com&sol;max&sol;5040&sol;0&ast;hpsbIG9MhWfB6BU6&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter" width&equals;"1920" height&equals;"1080" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h4 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">Final Thoughts<&sol;h4>&NewLine;<p>While I can go on to criticize this anime for several paragraphs&comma; the truth is that I don&&num;8217&semi;t often tend to take anime like these seriously&comma; as it obviously doesn&&num;8217&semi;t take itself seriously&period; So I usually laugh at and sometimes even enjoy them for what the trash they are&period; Like Eromanga Sensei or Domestic Girlfriend&comma; some dumpster fires are hard not to look at &lpar;though Domestic Girlfriend was a lot more interesting dumpster fire to look at&period;&rpar; Though to its credit&comma; the anime has some comedic moments&comma; and I found myself laughing at a few of them&period; But Overall&comma; The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter is an anime that should be taken at face value&period; Just an anime that only offers a lot of fan service in-between its few comedic moments&comma; and that&&num;8217&semi;s all there is to it&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>If you haven’t seen The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter&comma; it’s available to stream right now on<a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;crunchyroll&period;com&sol;the-hidden-dungeon-only-i-can-enter&sol;episode-1-powerful-skill-set-801565" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank"><strong> Crunchyroll<&sol;strong><&sol;a><b>&period;<&sol;b><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>Have you seen Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter&quest;
