Eh, Finale was just too boring. Same goes for the show - just fine at best. Glad that this is over to be honest. It just really didn't do it for me.Not a good show but not too bad.

6/10.

I liked the ending, I was fine with it ending up in the middle of the trip, even though episode 9 would have been a better ending. And overall, it was fun, I liked the girls' designs and personalities....although I don't know what Lulu's supposed to bring to the show.
What I didn't like was the master-slave relationship. Satou is a good guy and he treats them well but I didn't like that instead of having a friendlier and closer relationship he was comfortable with being a good " master ".

Nana best girl!

That said, I liked Smartphone more.

It's over...finally.

This is the kind of series that doesn't do well with a 12 episode-season. It's more of a consistent long-running series with a high number of episodes like Fairy Tail, without a clear end in sight and having many arcs and OVA/specials in between. In the end it was cut down to this size, a fraction of what it could have been.

The only good things from this series that I liked was the music, the fact that I can now put a voice to the characters when reading the better translated unofficial novels/manga, and the cuter character designs...maybe the menu HUD/UI designs too. Guess the change in item box differing from the manga wasn't bad either, looking more like Doctor Strange spell than a literal black hole square box you stick your hand into. Overall, it visually looked good design-wise, but when taking the time to really look at it, you end up finding more flaws than a mother-in-law coming over for a visit.

The animation itself, on the other hand, was sloppy and not smooth at all, with many times the faces looking like they had crooked smiles or lazy eyes. Maybe they'll fix that for the BD/DVDs, but I doubt it'll look any better.

This looks like it's not getting another season given the direction it went with, ultimately resulting in mixed to poor reviews and average score. I hate to be that obnoxious guy that says "the book was better" but it really is the case for this series. It basically had none of the charms the novel and manga brought like overarching themes, and only served to water it down to make a generic isekai anime for the lowest common denominator. Still salty about making the interesting anatomically correct Wyvern into a boring generic fantasy dragon double-amputee.

I hope it doesn't get a second season, so the author has the time again to go back to writing the novels. If it does get a second season, which I highly doubt it will since this was likely just a promo to get people to buy the books...I hope they replace the director, and get rid of the English subber, as well as the Light Novel Translator (which I've critisized before)...because they've all failed.

Well the interesting big fight should start on Muno territory if they follow the WN. But as usual the anime must follow the LN and insert that filler arc which didn't exist in the WN.
Not expecting 2nd season. What a shame, because the WN is actually enjoyable to read.
How in the world do they expect this anime to boost LN sales if it's worse than the WN?

To be honest, i really enjoyed this anime, even though it is the usual trope for an Isekai. It actually had me interested in the world and really did feel like a game due to the interfaces and the whole "Skill" mechanic, despite the MC being overpowered again, it was fun.

Gonna have to look into the Manga and Light Novel now! :D

Hmm, well I suppose this episode was okay; I would of liked a slightly more eventful or more meaningful ending, but instead, in the first half of the episode, we got an ending to the witches' story, and in the second half of the episode we got a nice and relaxing roundup with all of the main characters. I would of liked it if Zena was featured more in the latter parts of the show, but at least we saw her reading the letter that Satoo sent her at throughout the episode.

Overall I would give this show a 6/10. It was still an entertaining watch but seemed to be lacking something, though I can't quite figure out what that something is

If I hadn't read the Light Novels already and been a fan of this series, I'm sure that I would have rated this show a bit higher, but I can't take back what I already know and have read. This anime adaptation is woefully inferior to the LN, and leaves us wanting more with so many details and explanations left unanswered. 4/10 for the anime adaptation.

For any that enjoyed the show, I highly recommend reading a volume or two of the light novel. It's an infinitely superior experience for sure.

This series is full of problems. So many unnecessary characters joining the party. Nana and Mia to name some. And that resulted to unnecessary arcs/scenes. If only the focus was on world building instead of harem building, we could have gotten much more interesting arcs. Or just straight up copy SAO or Danmachi with MC and Zena as the main characters.

This was one of the worst shows i have had the misfortune to follow in a long time. what a bore. and the lack of completion with ANY of the girls by the lame jerk main character was beyond frustrating it was downright bizarre. the Creator/writer must be a really strange person and the studio that chose to make this trash is also a very sad place. The scene in the wagon was predictable in that there is no way anyone in the show would ever have any real happiness because the main character is a total wimp, this really was a waste of time. Glad everyone else saw it too.

I kinda liked this series not the best in the world but I rather re-watch this than Sword art or Macross delta. But making it 12 episodes is not doing it justice because they skip so much from the novel. I hope for a season 2 becuse it was a nice series to enjoy if I wanted to watch something dark and serious I would go watch fullmetal alchemist brotherhood or Durarara.

I give this a 7/10 not the best but I enjoyed it I seen far worse like attack on tits and Sword or that super F-up anime about a dude making girls cum so they can keep fighting O.o WTF.

I don't know what the point of this anime was... I remember thinking, going back to the first episode, that it was going to be something more akin to 'Quanzhi Gaoshou' aka 'The King's Avatar', with the whole prologue about how the MC has a 'Death March' job as a game creator. I figured we'd continually jump back and forth between the game world and the real world. Well, nope. And instead, we just sort of wound up with a mundane, slice of life scenario. There were a few goals that needed accomplishing, and they were, relatively easily. There was never any sense of an arc, or of an over-arching plot. For what it was, it was an extremely passive watch. And probably relatively forgettable.

Something that puzzles me is people who hate this anime so much why did you even watch it to the end ?

I mean for me 2-3 episodes is often what I need to see if it is an anime I like or not heck some times even one episode is enough.

Do you hate your self so much you force your self to watch it to the end so you then later can sit on the internet and spew your hate so damn much to people than don´t give a shit about what you think ?

Such a let down after a promising first couple episodes, then it gets really boring. What a waste of powers, the MC is supposed to be strong like super strong but it seems like he doesn't his true power and how to use it correctly. 12 episode but nothing exciting really happened they should add harem and slice of life tags tho. I normally enjoy fantasy anime but this one is such a let down. I've been waiting for this series from the start. Well it's pretty enjoyable still in some aspects i like how family oriented the MC is and i like the friendly atmosphere around him.


Overall score 6/10, could've been better if it's more story driven arc.

Anyone knows which part of the web novel should I start after episode 12?

I've only read the LN,but if you are interested in it further,I'd really start from the beginning,as there was a good bit missed out in the anime from the LN,but if you want to continue on with Satou and Co,go for vol 3,roughly around page 183(titled The Mystery of the Bundle of Papers)which,tbh,is more or less the end of vol 3 :)-though it may be a bit confusing,which is why I advise to read from the start.
Hope that helps

And I know a lot of people thought this show was boring or some such,but sorry,I liked it,,as they say,each to their own.
For me it was nice and relaxing,in the same way that Isekai Shokudou was=not much story or arc,just a nicely paced,free roaming SOL,though I do note that both had excellent op/ed tracks.

I felt the series probably should've wrapped up at episode 9. The last 3 episodes were more of a very anti-climatic send-off that didn't really encourage any hype for another season.

Overall, I found the series predictably enjoyable. Nothing groundbreaking, although I do appreciate they found a way to utilize the OP main character for more than just 1-hitting everything (problem solving via non-violent methods).

7/10.

I said it before I think, but this was pretty trashy... Still enjoyed it anyway, more than I thought I would, plus it ended on a MUCH better note than a certain series featuring another Garbage Tier OP MC with a Cell Phone... AS IN HE WASN'T TRYING TO PICK HIS FAVORITE GIRL AS A FINALE... In comparison, this was actually pretty good. The only reason THIS Garbage MC here ain't do nothing with the girls was because 90% of them were underage, SO HE HAD AN ACTUAL REASON. Which is something I actually like about this series, he probably would have gone further had they been older, hell he seemed pretty interested in grabbing the Homunculus girl this episode and managed to get some action like 2 times throughout the series. He wasn't running from that to keep the Harem in check... If I had to name one other good thing about this anime... it would be Furry Lolis... They were adorable, and the only reason I really came back every week... 6/10.

Last Episode of the Anime let's see where this goes.

Well, looks like Satou and co. are going to ruin certain Viceroy's day.....Ah, should have guessed that they try something like this...I hope tough that Satou rids off this Moustache-Yarou....and like always Satou is step ahead.

Well....Count start to show them who is the boss, but Satou takes the show...well children don't need to see execution...

Laughed Nana Scene....oh man....

well....this was....Ok series, life series rather than just adventure Isekai.....I give this 7/10...this was nice past time...

Not really much to say about it. It's basically a time-killer with few ups and downs because we know the MC will coast through everything. Weird that they finally presented what I think is the main plot at the end--Satou was likely summoned here as a hero and if there's a second season we'll probably see the crew encounter some trickier obstacles.

Honestly this was just another one of those dull and tedious isekai shows where nothing really happens. The MC's personality is incredibly bland and boring just like the author he is based on. And as if that wasn't enough he has this annoying and whiny feminine voice of Shun Horie. Seriously when will Shun Horie hit puberty?

Anyways personally I like OP MCs but what is the point when there is not even that much action to justify that. Instead the fights felt lame and there are more freaking scenes with the MC acquiring skills, secondary characters talking about meat and other meaningless things. Furthermore the story only picked like in last few episodes so there isn't much to talk about apart from some fanservice. I mean don't get me wrong. It's a good show if you just want to kill some time. But it's not the right show if you are expecting an interesting plot or likeable characters.

I actually like how chill this show was and how it took it's time to explain the mechanics when the MC experimented with things. It was kind of boring near the middle but the first and last bunch of episodes were nice. I would've liked it more if there wasn't such an obvious harem. Maybe if they had at least one other male character and removed a couple of the female characters like Lulu and Arisa.

For some reason I thought this show had 24 episodes, but now I find out that the 12th episode was it. Not only that but there's no conclusion, they just essentially stopped the show without any sort of resolution to anything at all. Just a lot of build up with his relationship and everything he was learning with his abilities.

It's extremely annoying when animes do end without any resolution or true conclusion, especially when they have so much potential that was teased for later on.
