Most underrated anime of the season?

Note only in terms of production it is well made, but the plot is also fantastic. The direction work is also on point. It's always surprising seeing an isekai that actually does something different. It might just be on my top 5 isekai, along with Grimgar and others.

it's boring to have the character completely useless

This is definitely my most underrated of the season. The production quality is insane for a show in this style. The character depth actually feels genuine and not forced, and the worldbuilding they’re doing is also excellent in my opinion

The mix between action and comedy is so well done, but the story is so interesting as well. It’s honestly isekai done right. It’s not a power fantasy, it’s not shoveling millions of info down the audience’s throats, and (most important of all) it doesn’t try to copy every other isekai with the MC being the center of the show. The MC is really Morlock and we our essentially uncovering the mystery of how he lost his memories and who was responsible for it in the first place. This may be really unlikely, but I hope there is a season two someday.

The first few episodes very kinda hard to get into.. But at like E4-5 i started loving the show. So many funny and emotional moments, this anime totally surprised me. Especially the sidestories are soooo good. Really underrated for sure.

Ningen Fushin is suffering because they just ended the manga suddenly and at a crap place.

The OST is excellent. And the animation is very consistent with nice character designs.

YsrwiiDunno about if it's an underrated or not, since I don't have data showing how its sales go in Japan, but I must agree that this show is unusual and have many great things.
It started nicely, for 4 episodes it showed short, various scenes, like some short "strips". It reminded me of "Nichijou". But then it started to show arcs. In the end it returned to short "strips" again. Honestly I would prefer that whole show was made of short "strips", but alas.
It incorporates many new things, which I don't remember in other anime. For example, it's often mentioned about teleport magic that there is a danger that you can teleport inside of wall or mountain, and this anime indeed shows this hilarious moment:


Another interesting thing is magic staff charging. Usually this charging in anime showed as magic staff glowing, but it in this anime we can see how rainbow magic starts growing on it, which I don't remember in any other anime (10% charged, 30%, 60%, 90%, 100% Fire!!):


Other interesting ideas:

• Dwarf who wields double shields. This idea sometimes appear on game forums when players want new class. And this idea finally was incorporated in this anime with dwarf wielding two shields and uses magic with himself as epicenter to blow up enemies in melee range, like Sunfire from "Baldur's Gate 2". Nice!
  
• MC buying assassin needles to cook meat of hydra was quite new - you use weapon for peaceful purpose.
  
• Lilyza using giant axe as a circular saw was great.
  
• Time Stop spell. Oh God, how it was amazing! This spell I have seen in "Baldur's Gate 2" and loved it. But here it is in anime too. It was great to see how indeed everything froze and only Morlock could move. Nice!
