I liked the episode, I thought it was a strong start. I enjoyed Uchimura's backstory but I hope to see more. Curious about the world and how serious they take the "human siding with demons" thing and how it acts as a commentary on workplace conditions. We shall see!

So basically Black Lagoon, but idiotic parody isekai with no budget.
What can I say, so far it's kind of funny.

Not enough meat in it - the bureaucracy, logistics and negotiations should be treated as most interesting aspect and gleaning over them by basically going from state A of some conflict into effortlessly resolved state B seems to me as boring. Sure, the protagonist explains later on to some extent what happened along the way but him figuring this out as he goes would be far more interesting and show off his supposed skills. Dude has no idea about this world, him drawing some conclusions from Earth's greek mythology would add even if - say, this world minotaurs turned out to be widely different but it would give a starting point to go somewhere with it.

Starting a new anime, we got a tsundere, an intelligent MC but not so confident to do the job properly and some extra characters to fill the history. gotta watch 3 EPs to see how they develop the story.

I have been enjoying the manga - it's a basic premise, but done well. The anime is disappointing. The opening theme is terrible, the closing theme is bland, and I'm not fond of the direction they went with the character voices, especially for Ulmandra.

The first episode introduces a salaryman transported to a fantasy world and given a prestigious role. While the premise has potential, the pacing feels uneven, and the humor relies too much on clichés.

The world-building and character depth are lacking, and the episode doesn’t fully engage. It’s an okay start, but it needs more originality and development to stand out in the isekai genre

The animation style is a bit strange, but I think it's worth continuing. I don't know if I like the humor, but it's ok for now.

Another isekai with a dull plot and dull characters. It's only saving grace is Uchimura's superpower, negotiation, and he has always had that. Plus, he quoted The Art of War.

I'll watch this because of its uniqueness but so far, mixed feelings.

Terrible censortrash, made even worse when it goes against actual world building. If they wanna make american style slop out of decent-ish source material, they better expect similar reception to amerislop like concord

It's interesting to see a demon lord act like a reasonable and considerate company boss instead of the typical tyranical world conquerer😂.

Seeing Uchimura redi his tie when he knew how to solve the problem with the negotiation rkind eminded me of the MC in Kamen Rider Drive, because he sets is tie back up when he discovered the culprit behind all the Roimude crimes haha

Seeing an easy 6/10 from me, I'll pre-place that score now. I wanted to give this episode a 5/5, but the 5/10 openings/endings ruined my willingness to do that. Maybe I should look up lyric and see if the meaning makes up for everything else.

I love how he hypes it with the hydro and stuff and makes it sounds like he randomly picked "overSEAS manager" but Demon Lord is just troll. Dude is made for this, makes me think of another 5/10 (way worse than this) demon lord anime where a major member was a human, but that guy had strategy/negotiation AND was overpowered.

Love how he just got hit by moped going maybe 24 km/h, flew for some reason, then ended up here. I can very much relate to him where I am basically running an entire business myself, but am still a follower and want/have a boss that's competent.

I genuinely don't understand the nononononono thing, but everything else is good.

He is so damn dedicated he doesn't go to the bar after work, the bar is in his head during work.

Ah, season comedy/parody Isekai with some serious tone about office work culture. Uchimaru and Ulmandra relationship is what I am interested in the most, wonder where it leads.

@Mainnus Her early retirement to care for their 10 children and him being the new Demon Lord

Another censored crap
@MillionDollarMan I like the manga panel hips/thighs more, I like the anime panel top more. I like the manga panel face/hair/ears more, also right arm gauntlet.

This isn't even slop, it's just plain bad.

Also, why does the Demon Lord look like a worse version of Shredder? Hell, he could be a villain from a Power Rangers episode.

Do the Power Rangers have any powers? If not, maybe they'll get some outfits like that and Salaryman can be a power ranger.
