The Regression of Great Sage Riddle
Oshimeter
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.

I 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
Gremlin 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
The 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
I 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
Seeing 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
That 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
Riddle 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
My 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
