Thriller Restaurant, one-word review:

mediocre.

Press “Read the full story” for the long version.


Long version:

Mediocre.

There’s not much more to say. This anime is the embodiment of something that you simply can’t care about. In any way possible. The introduction is kinda funny, then it turns out to be the anime version of those horror story-collections for children. It just doesn’t manage to come across as anything but mediocre. The music is mediocre, the drawings are mediocre, the stories are mediocre. The animation, the voices, the everything.

Writing about this anime is like watching a bland, grey wall and then try to come up with something interesting about it.

There just isn’t anything at all that makes you go “oh, that’s new” or “oh, that’s funny” or even “oh” (except the introduction).

Watching Thriller Restaurant is like eating bland noodles. It’s not disgusting but it’s not good either. It’s just bland and plain boring.

I can’t even manage to figure out what the purpose of this anime is. Is it trying to scare me? Is it trying to be funny? I honestly couldn’t tell most of the time.

Watching Thriller Restaurant is like watching a stamp-collector desperately trying to come of as a genuinely interesting person.

Watching Thriller Restaurant is like watching one of those school plays kids set up, but it’s not your kids, they’re somebody else’s and you JUST DON’T GIVE A SHIT.

I mean, the depth of the characters is non-existent. There’s a guy from Europe, a girl with glasses and some goth/emo chick. That’s all there is to them. Nothing more. Nothing. Just… mediocrity.

Watching Thriller Restaurant is like playing Solitaire on your computer while waiting for something fun to happen.

The jokes (if they are jokes) are not funny. The scares (if they are scares) are not scary.

Watching Thriller Restaurant is like playing poker without money in the pot.

You just don’t give a shit.

    How many eps did you watch?

    Cause some shows start of really badly and then after half the season or more it gets good. Shana Season 02 was like that.

    I won´t say that this show is like that though. I watched the first ep, got bored of what was happening and decided to drop it.

    But all shows can´t be good. We would be so busy watching anime that we wouldn´t be able to do anything else :p

    So it´s good in a sense that this kind of show appears once in a while.
