Synopsis
The Box of Malice, a shadowy organization, wipes out everyone Riddle cares about and the entire world along with them, so he spends a thousand years, not days, not months, a full millennium, learning how to reverse time. By the time he actually pulls it off, he's barely recognizable. But he makes it back, landing in his younger body with a thousand years of knowledge crammed into his head and one goal: stop the apocalypse before it starts. The setup hits familiar notes if you liked Re:Zero or Erased, someone armed with future knowledge trying desperately to rewrite a doomed timeline, but this one leans harder into the fantasy side with a world that feels more like a Steins;Gate-level puzzle wrapped in swords-and-sorcery dressing. The format is worth mentioning too: these are five-minute episodes, fully colored and tightly paced, so there's zero bloat. Each episode drops you right into the tension without padding. The early episodes do a good job establishing Riddle's desperation and the weight of what he's carrying, plus there's a character named Norn who seems like they'll matter a lot going forward. The tone is action-packed but grounded in that specific kind of melancholy you get from someone who's lived too long and lost too much. It's a quick watch that doesn't waste your time, which honestly is refreshing.

chibiusa★★★★☆EP 11I could not stop laughing when that huge guy called him Riddle-chan and it is going to be so satisfying when Riddle finally puts those Red Bull jerks in their place
kuchisake_onna_52★★★★☆EP 11Gremlin losing her mind and grabbing Dalsan by the collar was so funny and she really did not want her star pupil to just walk out like that
anouki★★★★☆EP 11The animation still looks like a powerpoint presentation but the mystery of the Box of Malice keeps me coming back every single week despite how short these episodes are
yanari_yurei★★★☆☆EP 11I cant believe Riddle just left a note and dipped like that because Gremlin was totally losing her mind when she found out and it was the funniest part of the whole week
raifort★★★☆☆EP 11Seeing those Red Bull clan guys act so tough while Riddle just sits there with a thousand years of combat experience is such a power move and I hope he humbles them soon
ram_rage_145★★★★☆EP 10That teleportation at the end was such a power move, and it shows how much he is hiding from the rest of the guild. Noren screaming his name while he ran across the roofs was heavy
ruri★★★☆☆EP 10Riddle just vanishing on Noren like that was such a jerk move even if he has a big mission. The 5 minute format really rushes these big character moments and it feels like we missed the actual conversation
charmy_chef★★★☆☆EP 10My heart broke seeing Riddle look at Noren and think about her dying in the other life. I know he waited a thousand years just to save her and then he has to walk away and it hurts
sailor_uranus_397★★★☆☆EP 10The slideshow animation style makes the emotional scenes feel a bit stiff but the writing for Riddle leaving the guild actually landed well. You can tell he hates that he has to lie to Noren
claudia_hodgins_169★★★☆☆EP 10Riddle leaving Noren like that was so brutal and the way she was just reaching out into empty air made the ending feel so heavy
