| Could be worse I guess!? |
 |
| Finally. I've been waiting so long for this. Although the animation quality..... |
| Artstyle looks very shoujo-esque, which makes sense I guess? I wonder how they'll handle the mecha though. |
| Am I getting it right that this is literally about how male get isekai-ed in a grotesque feminist dating sim for girls? |
 |
| I despise some harem but this could be an exception :P |
| I was interested in this one so I'm glad this got an anime. Excited for it. |
 |

~ May all the beauty be blessed ~ |

In that world, men gets all the responsibility but women gets all the privilage. For some reason, in 2021, this sounds not like a grotesque feminist fantasy, but like the serious goals of modern feminists. Joking aside, a gender-chanded version of this might be a good feminist satire. |
|
oh yeah, many people were hoping to have more otome isekai adaptations for to have something more original and refreshing with a girl MC... the protagonist is a man who wants to change a world of dominant women to fulfill his ultimate desire..." |
| @G0ldStark This is a male-focused LN adaptation, not otome isekai, take it easy. |
|
| I've been waiting for it, but just from the trailer, it looks like Genkoku adaptation I hope it's not true :( |

deerox said: RobertBobert said: Am I getting it right that this is literally about how male get isekai-ed in a grotesque feminist dating sim for girls? That wouldn't make sense since the MC is a guy. There is plenty of dating sims for males where woman have all the power and guys are treated like trash. Seducing someone that have a higher status then yourself is a type of power fantasy. In our years it is more like "take that!" to feminism rather than power fantasy, since many such stories are based not so much on female power as on the sexism of female characters towards MC. |
|
| Finally! About time! Hooray! |
| ENGI is the worst studio, Don't care much about them. It's probably gonna be another shit like The Detective is already death or Uzaki chan. |
| Got bored even just watching the PV. No chance. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Of course it’s going to get an adaptation. This LN is way too good and way too popular to not get one. But the Art style and that Animation though. And by ENGI? If only the show was released for late Summer or Fall so they could get enough time to do something good but from PV alone I’m not quite sure I should expect a lot to be honest. With the previous adaptations from this studio (Last one, The detective is already dead, that was crap) is almost a certainty that it will be bad... |

|| Finally, but animation quality seems kinda low in comparison to light novel. Let's see. |
 |
| why would you want to live a quiet life in the countryside when you have the option to bang all those chicks? |
    |
| WTF is with the Art Style and animation 😱 ENGI ruining another good LN with that awful Art compared to the cute and nice Art Style of LN & Manga And Leon twisted side looks awful compared to Manga |
| "When There Is Evil In This World That Justice Cannot Defeat, Would You Taint Your Hands With Evil To Defeat Evil? Or Would You Remain Steadfast And Righteous Even If It Means Surrendering To Evil?" |
ZXEAN said: ENGI is the worst studio, Don't care much about them. It's probably gonna be another shit like The Detective is already death or Uzaki chan. Agree they ruin every Manga or LN they adapt |
| "When There Is Evil In This World That Justice Cannot Defeat, Would You Taint Your Hands With Evil To Defeat Evil? Or Would You Remain Steadfast And Righteous Even If It Means Surrendering To Evil?" |
| A dude fighting against an oppressive matriarchy? Just wait until Twitter finds out about this. |
 |
| Mish-mash, and awaiting the teaser PV drop. |
 |
| I know it's coming as soon as possible. They Will ruin it |

| i wasted my time reading this lame self insert isekai powerflexing fantasy. It's already bad to the core, but on the bright side, the story is not that weird like in the summary the anime adaptation doesnt seem to look good either with horribly downgraded art, there is no excuse wasting your time for this. |
| Was reading the manga adaptation some time ago, I didn’t like it much. Idk if the ln’s good though. Also, the artstyle looks ass |

| All I have to say is that this is some powerful stuff here lol |
G0ldStark said: oh yeah, many people were hoping to have more otome isekai adaptations for to have something more original and refreshing with a girl MC... the protagonist is a man who wants to change a world of dominant women to fulfill his ultimate desire..." More that the MC want nothing to do with the plot but keep get drag into the plot. |

It would be better if they just followed the original illustrations or the manga version.Artstyle looks very shoujo-esque, which makes sense I guess? I wonder how they'll handle the mecha though. |
| Nice, I'm waiting ^^ |
Everything is Garbage except LoGH |
| Well, I'll be damn... This got me hype a little bit but I'll keep expectation low for now. |
  |
| 3 of my favorite manga have gotten an adaptation announced within the last week. I couldn't be happier. (Also, Lux is best... girl? boy? Sentient being.) I am a bit worried, though, because studio ENGI doesn't have the best track record. |
  |
| The premise is what's going to save the show as it centers on a guy who wants to be left alone to be in the countryside away from the ridiculously toxic matriarchal world instead of pure revenge. It's got a bad LN adaptation look to it though that might turn folks off though. |
 |
| I hope it is a good adaptation.It is a pretty funny series. |
 |
| Those eyes are nightmare-material, this KV should have dropped on Halloween. I've read the first 4 LN volumes and know that season 1 is adapting the first 3... and meh. It's not something to be excited about for me at least. |

| *generic image of favorite characters with a sappy quote or "aesthetics"* Mecha Anime/Manga/VN Tier List Anime/Manga/VN Tier List |
| One of my favorite manga, I’m so excited for the anime :) |
 |
| Otome game isekai setting... I've literally never even played an otome game before, so uh... yeah I'm gonna pass, sorry |
 |
| Finally! Damn, f*ck yeah! |
 |
| HAHAHAHA KNEW IT THIS WOULD 100% GET ANIME |
More that the MC want nothing to do with the plot but keep get drag into the plot. So is he a passive protagonist disinterested in all plot around him? god is even worse, he is same to the protagonists of light novels of the 2000's like index 🤢 |
| With "Otome Game" in the title I always thought this was a female lead LN. |
 |
Pyro81300 said: Wait, could you elaborate a bit more on the mecha part? I just thought this was some standard romance show. The otome game that he's in is based off of a dating sim with tactical RPG in it. The world's set in a sword, magic, airship and mecha fantasy world. For the most part it is just a romance show but there is going to be some combat at some point in the story. |
