Meikyuu Black Company

After working tirelessly toward his goal of a self-sustainable NEET lifestyle, Kinji Ninomiya has finally achieved his dreams. Now looking down on common folk commuting during a typhoon from the penthouse of one of his apartment buildings, Kinji gets ready to start his new, slothful life. However, all of his hard work goes to waste when a portal appears beneath him from out of nowhere.

Teleported to another world, Kinji is forced to work for a mining company that focuses solely on profits and has no care whatsoever for the safety and well-being of its employees. Refusing to live in such conditions, he begins devising plans to get rich quickly, building connections with others in this new world and making his best efforts to escape the stringent corporate life. Will Kinji be able to overcome his restraints and attain financial freedom once more?

An isekai anime different from other isekai series, it has a unique sense of humor and is filled with characters with strange personalities, especially Ninomiya. I will particularly remember the moment when Rim was about to eat a man's head, and Ninomiya placed a wing in her mouth, transforming Rim from a monstrous state into a cute girl happily eating a wing, as well as Ninomiya's personal yandere gun.

Mixed Feelings

I really enjoyed it at the start. It was different from anything I've seen. But my interest gradually dropped. It took me a month to finish 12 eps. And even the last 3 eps I barely managed to finish.

It started so good. With the whole isekai. Character establishment. The working environment in other world. Magic. Beasts etc. But then time travel...boom. You lost me. The gag just got too much for me.

The concept and idea was very interesting and unique. The whole plot would be better off without gag. Humor yes. But not gag.

Overall somewhat enjoyable. If you don't mind gag then ... you should definitely give it a try!

Not Recommended

I would love to say that this does contain spoilers, but sadly, you can't spoil a story without a plot. YES, I know that it wasn't COMPLETLY plotless. That's the only reason that I gave this anime a three instead of a one. Now let's start breaking it down.

The main character. I have many complains about him. Fisrtly, he literally USED people to get it his way. He's manipulative, self-centered and god damn selfish. I still doubt that he really even CAN feel empathy towards someone. I don't want to be rude, but he seems like a jerk. Like the type of person no one ... would like having around them. Secondly, kinda thirdly if you count the selfishness as a point itself, he is extremly smart, but never puts it to good use. Fourth off, I can lietrally not STAND how he didn't give a damn about anything as long as he got what he wanted. You could be dying but he'd ignore you completely to get what he wants. Jerk. Fith off, he is BORING. I honestly didn't really care about anything since I don't even know who he even is. We didn't really get to know anything about him.

The side characters. The side characters actually were pretty nice. I enjoyed how they were slowly introduced, some were kept, but some went away again. It was pretty nice to see. The characteristics of everyone was great as well. It feels like the plot was definitly missing, but at least the side characters were intersting.

The plot. As I said before, the plot was almost non existent. I know that there was SOMETHING bu it didn't feel like plot to me. For me, the plot must be important to the story. This just felt like the authors/writers threw a bunch of ideas together and agreed to act upon them. Sadly for them, the ideas didn't align that well and it all felt random and out of place. The plot is SUPPOSED to be about him and how he works his way up, but that didn't feel right.The plot being a personal thing isn't rare in anime, but this just felt off. Probabaly because, AS I SAID, we don't know him! For the plot to be about someone, we would need more info about HIM. But that never happend. The plot feels empty. Like the writers abandoned it.

The humor. To be honest, I found myself often smiling amused as I was watching. There were definitly many scenes where I really was amused an thought the joke was funny. I never really LAUGHED, but that isn't needed to enjoy something. Th eproblem is that the humor also sometimes went to... intresting things. Which wasn't funny AT ALL and rather made me feel uncomfortable watching.

The music. I haven't really paid any mind to the music, so it was pretty basic. Fighting scenes didn't feel TOO out of place.
Talking about it...
The fighting scenes. I don't know how else to put it other than: The fights weren't fighting. There was NO tension. And nothing really to connect us to the fight, so the fights all felt meaningless in the end. It was boring. And they were also no fun to watch. What a shame, really.

The plottwits. I love plottwists, but this... was sad. They were predictable and everytime there was something that was supposed to shock us, it wasn't shocking at all. That was mainly because the foreshadowing was just WAY TOO OBVIOUS. Those things weren't hints anymore, they straight up told it to our faces, and then expected us to be surprised. Yeah, not really surprising anyone, they were bad. You can't try to make the main character look smarter than anyone else because he knows the plottwist, when ANYONE and EVERYONE could have figured it out.

The sexualisation. Yes. It's an anime, and it is often normal, but it has to said, WTH is wrong these writers? The personality of the women were so good, so why does it still have to rely on their bodies so much? Honestly. It's sad. There were scenes that I did NOT expect in there. He openly touches people and doesn't even realize that it's wrong to do so. It sometimes felt like I was watching something different, you know what I mean. The women all had a wide/big chest and even ANTS were not left out. It was honestly disgusting. And even the VILLAIN had to be CUTE. Disgusting, truly. Especially since the "camera" angle was always in a way where you'd see more of her CHEST than her whole HEAD and face. For real. It's sad.

Potential. I would defintily say that this anime has potential. If we had more knowledge of the main character, I honestlly think that the whole plot would have worked better. And if maybe, just maybe, there was a better explaination to what was happening and/ or WHY they were fighting to begin with, it would have made it more REASONABLE. Sadly, taht wasn't the case. The side characters were great, so why was the main lead left out? And, obviously, I would have enjoyed this way more if there'd be WAY less sexualisation. It has actually GREAT potential. And the fact that that potential wasn't used at all makes me a bit disappointed.

Keep in mind, this is my opinion. I'm not shaming on ANYONE hwo likes this anime. I can see a few points as to why, and if you like it, you like it. It's none of my buiness. I just wanted to share my opinion and explain my experience.
