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.

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

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.

I’m sure this series has really brought many people’s daydream of escaping the real world to a fantasy world where they are actually appreciated to life…. But I’m not quite sold on it. It feels like a series I would have enjoyed when I was much younger.

Do I have room for one generic trash isekai fantasy demon lord whatever-the-fuk anime this season? Sure. Let's try this one out, but will probably drop it after the first episode...

...ok nah this actually ain't too bad. The first episodes of even your dime-a-dozen isekai actually usually hook me in pretty well, but after that is a different story. However, if this is NOT one of those cases, then well, this could actually be very much enjoyable. It's just got feel-good vibes all around, to see mr. salaryman here go from your typical toxic work environment to one where his new boss, a demonlord, is actually completely reasonable and understanding. And no, said demonlord doesn't accidentally summon him only to have mr. salaryman BS his way through this fantasy world, but the demonlord boss actually knows he is just a physically frail human, and has recruited him for what his actual strengths are. W boss, and... W-waifu co-workers... >:)

Anyway yeah idk if this will get old fast but for now at least I liked this first episode and will for sure be watching more.

Reading through all these comments, this is supposed to be a comedy...how? I didn't notice a single joke.
Don't listen to people when they tell you that the anime that you want to see doesn't exist, and to quit asking, and quit searching. I found my dream anime, and yours could be out there too. Speaking of which, watch Record Of Grancrest War, you're missing out.

I thrive on fantasy anime, and anime with all adult casts!

I'll give a chance just because the main girl is cute, and because the isekaied dude actually have to rely on his knowledge from his life on earth instead of being magically gifted with an OP power/creature/weapon...

honestly, never understand why so many isekais are completely centered on the power the mc receive (or the creature he reincarn as), instead of "someone from earth living on a fantasy world"... like, most times the fact the person came from other world barerly matter, aside from use the mc lack of knowledge of the world to explain things to the public...

I think there was an opportunity for something fun to happen in this first episode. I did like the silly mask, and abdomen face of the overlord. I wonder if there were any jokes in the source material or if it was all lost in the translation. There might have been a pun with the Water General / Overseas Manager, but the overlord seems fully aware of the protagonist's capabilities.

So far it's looking like this show will be a breath of fresh air to the standard isekai formula. Instead of a goddess summoning, it's the Demon Overlord summoning the protagonist. Instead of being a powerful hero, he's still just his regular normal self. Instead of a truck, he's hit by an old lady on a moped!

It's going to be fun watching Dennosuke bring this dark army together. Him and Ulmandra have already closed some of the distance.

Question: HOW CAN WE DESIGN A CHARACTER SO CURSED, SO DISGUSTING, SO BITCHY, AND SO IRREDEEMABLE THAT WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF AN EPISODE THE VIEWER WILL INSTANTLY HATE HER AND DROP THE SHOW ALTOGETHER?

Answer: make her a hot headed tomboy woman, with red hair, bully personality, add manly abs, add extreme competitiveness, add low temper, censor her manga design; because we are designing a bullying guy in a woman's skin, make her a tsunwhoredere .. and any sane viewer will DROP and disown the show within 5 minutes!

any viewer with dignity, and self respect, will auto drop and cancel the show.
