Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi

Just started Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi on Animyne, and this might be the most relatable isekai ever made—who knew demon armies ran on PowerPoint presentations and performance reviews?! Forget swords and magic; this protagonist conquers the fantasy world with staplers, flowcharts, and the power of middle-management hustle.

Why It’s Brilliant:
The premise alone deserves awards: a 30-something corporate drone gets reborn as one of the Demon King’s Four Heavenly Kings… only to realize demon generals spend 80% of their time arguing about supply chain logistics and troop morale budgets. Watching him "overpower" enemies by introducing efficient filing systems and team-building exercises is ... comedy gold. The show’s genius is how it mirrors real-world office absurdity—when the protagonist defeats a rival faction by outsourcing their monster attacks to cheaper mercenaries, you’ll laugh, then cry because you’ve lived this.

Who Should Watch?
✔️ Burnt-out office workers who’ve dreamed of weaponizing their TPS reports
✔️ Fans of The Devil is a Part-Timer! but with more red tape
✔️ Anyone who wants an isekai where the final boss battle is a boardroom presentatio

As others have pointed out, this anime has some similarities to "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom", but it still feels unique. Aside from a few unnecessary clichés, nothing seems directly copied—at least from other anime; I can't speak for the manga.

Like "Realist Hero", some of the challenges were fairly obvious, but Uchimura managed to solve them faster and with less information. He successfully applied real-world business strategies, which, being more advanced than those of a medieval fantasy world, helped him improve the country and its surroundings.

While I rated "Realist Hero" an 8/10 (rounded up from 7.5), this anime barely ... made it to a 7/10. Uchimura’s portrayal and his “PTSD” from toxic work culture were handled well, but everything else was just average, with below-average voice acting.

The only thing you'll remember about this show is Ulmandra's upper half

The art is meh, the story is contrived to create situations in which the protagonist's skillset is useful, none of the characters are particularly interesting. If you want turn-your-brain-off-to-kill-time material I suppose this will do, but if you want some meat on the bone you won't find any here.

The interface is demanding I add more detail but what detail is there to add without spoilers? Seriously, the only thing you're going to remember about this one is Ulmandra's upper half. I'm sure this show is similar to something else I've seen that also isn't ... even slightly memorable.
