I feel like all the naysayers didn't even watch the same anime...

I found the plot to move at a fast pace (in a good way). It was funny and the characters are interesting and likable. The art style is great. The whole making fun of the gatcha system in games is hilarious. And the ED! OH GOD THE ED! I love it so much I have been playing that **** on repeat for quite a few days now. Not closing that tab any time soon.

I personally don't understand what is not to like here.

(Something I noticed, the Wiseman are based on the "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" monkeys.)

Cute episode but I’m not sure how the style vs substance ratio will work out. It feels odd to watch a series mock the lootbox establishment when they themselves ARE the establishment. Ill give it a 3 episode try.

Mhm... I just wish they'd drop the MMO-references. Those are really annoying and just ruin what would otherwise be a cute and fun Fantasy-anime x.x. Especially the fking Lootboxes bit near the end... fk me, that really was uncalled for >.>. I know it was meant 'ironically' (*hurgh*), but ironic shitty lootboxes are still shitty lootboxes

I love Wiseman though... they're basically a mix between Team Rocket and Team Skull, LOL.

Nice rpg designs w/o the harem element (yet), as surprisingly the team's now 3 guys 2 girls. Some more unusual elements: a female conartist 'villain', muscle beast who's not stereotypically gay & is otaku.
Funny as a work SOL on game references & lots of business scamming/negotiating everywhere. The work side & their downsizing troubles are more appreciable to older audiences.
Nice op & ed, wiseman!!

This must be the most uninspired and boring opening episode I have literally ever seen. At the same time it has probably the cutest character designs (overall) I have ever seen in an anime. I especially LOVE that the guy got amazingly cute designs and if I keep watching it's for them and Choco.

I want to like this show for the amazing character designs, I wanted to like it so bad... but the first episode was both written and directed so damn terribly that I don't even feel like watching the second episode.

2/10 episode but 10/10 character designs

Read from a reviewer that they had heard this was like the slayers (sign me the fuck up) and both are in a similar vein as konosuba; quirky and volatile group of friends fight monsters and go on adventures. However, both of those other series have a much more distinct group of characters. The four in last period seem rather generic and I have no interest in learning more about them or seeing them accomplish anything. Kind of disappointed, and I think I'll just go rewatch the first 3 slayers series.

I really like the animation... But tell me guys, is this some sort of a game promotion anime, or is that the joke? Because I don't know what to think about this...

So the arch-villain we saw at the end of the first episode is the same pink-hair advisor that the heroes have too, right? It's either really obvious and I'm dumb or it's something people have missed...

Is this show worth watching? I’m willing to check it out, but I don’t want to watch one episode of it and then not be able to finish it

Tried this at random, since it contains all of my favourite genre tags, but... can't say it was a great first episode. Maybe if it wasn't a blatant parody on mobile gacha games with cheap in-your-face game mechanic references for comedy purposes, it might have had some potential to be alright. But as it stands, no... Also doesn't help that none of the characters really stood out to me. Not that they were bad per se, it's just that none of them had anything going for them to make them stand out in some way or another.
