First, this series is rated for R17, for a reason.

# Story
By far one of the best isekai series made. The story is nice and well-paced, there are no boring moments in this series, on every episode, there is more happening than on 90% of other animes and it's clear that it's well thought. There are sometimes things that could be skipped but I think all parts are important for characters, especially to show character growth. World in this series also seems to be well thought, there is quite a lot of different things that have been thought well, and keeps me interested to see ... more.

# Art
Artstyle fits perfectly for themes in this anime, (also no bs 3D), on some points there was something that could have been better but overall I grade this perfect.

# Sound
The music and sounds are also really well done and nothing feels out of place. Sometimes I thought there was missing something as if too little background noise. The music fits well also to themes and moods in scenes.

# Characters
There is a lot of interesting side characters, some are jerks and some good guys, but almost all of them are anyways more memorable than on much of other anime MCs (especially on the isekai genre), which shows how boring and forced this genre is coming.

# Enjoyment
This series has a lot of controversies that seem to cause unenjoyment for many but I can look past those situations and enjoy the show as a whole. And now watching the second round of this, and even on the second round, I can fully enjoy this series.

# Overall
One of the three best isekai series there is, can't decide the order between this, Overlord or Tensura.

Story:
The first 5 episodes can be easily skipped because there is no advancement in a story. Characters don’t bother to explain anything why something why they are on one side of the group. In episode 3 there was a small progression in the story and that can be explained in one sentence.

I don’t know if they wanted to create a “mystery” element in this or what but at last I can say it’s executed badly, basically, every faction tries to pull MC to their group without even bothering to explain what is better in their group than other and I think that’s the “mystery” ... of series.

Like why Fractale is bad? What point there is it to lose technical advancement and go back to the “natural” way? What is so bad about “doppels”? When anime starts to explain these things I already felt really bad about this series and didn’t want to watch the next episode (The only reason I watched this series was because MAL Anime Challenge, under normal situations I would stop watching this series around episode 5 because it was just so painful).

So basically half of the series is just that characters won’t explain even the smallest things about what’s going on in that world. Well, I can’t say it was all bad, there were few nice events that make it so I bothered to watch till the end.

The story was at best 5 and can’t recommend this to many people. Most of my friends (also for me) story is number 1 thing in anime and this series biggest shortcoming was story or characters.

Art:
Is the strongest part of this series. The art was really good and pleasing to watch. There was nice use in colors, not too strong or popping. Some scenes seemed to be “watered down” but 99% was well done in this series. There wasn’t anything “new” or “exceptional” in this but it was good quality (and no 3D, at last too much).

Sound:
The sound wasn’t anything special in this series. Truth to be told there wasn’t any song that I remember anymore (OP & EP excluded). The sound effects were quite good and I not even once thought “what a heck sound was that”.

Characters:
The worst or second worst thing in this series. Usually, I think the story and characters as the same. But mostly the story was bad because Characters can’t speak, they don’t explain anything. There were quite interesting characters mixed but mostly they felt bad. In the first episode I started already hate Clain, he didn’t even try to understand other people. Well, other people weren’t that much better as I explained in the story. They force their thoughts on Clain without explaining anything.

Enjoyment:
I think most can guess what here will be, well to be honest you’re right, I hate this series. But there were also some hidden nice times. But still, if I could (or even bother) it would be nice to get this time back (luckily I watched this series the same time I did other things).

Overall:
Some nice gems surrounded by boring stories. Overall this series gets 4, no worse or better. I was disappointed how bad this was, I wasn’t expecting new masterwork but even a little bit of something that would have made this better. Have to say even Gilgamesh is better than this.

Well not long ago started watching this series and now have "watched" quite a lot. And I don't get how people have so a high opinion of this series.

Story:
Is quite boring honestly, if you like to watch the same joke 10 * in an episode for 700+ episodes then this series might be for you. Nothing interesting happens until the Summit War arc. In that arc, there was an interesting development in characters and connections to other characters. And during that time there Luffy did as he pleases and didn't give a damn what others were thinking. That is the only reason I gave ... this series even 6, would have been 4 or even 3 without that arc. But at Fishman Island arc it went back to boring as there doesn't seem to be any reason for any fighting again.

Art:
Well, quality in art is like a roller coaster in this series, some scenes it is good, and some are bad. But I like the old feeling what art style gives and that's why I rated it to 6. Could have been much higher if the quality would be stable good. Color themes are also pretty good in this and seem to be they're not scared to use colors what I'm happy about.

Sound:
To be honest, nothing too fancy but the quality is mostly stable if some side character voice actors are not counted in. Music could be better in some situations but good overall.

Character(s):
Well, characters in this series are 90% of boring or fanservice. There is no character development in this series so I don't get how this series is even going on anymore.

Luffy:
Pretty good character but I have watched over 500 episodes and still personality is exactly the same as the beginning of the first episode of the whole series. As a fighter, he is getting stronger but it doesn't feel like it at all because still sidekicks give him hard time. I know when they go deeper in Grand line there are stronger mobs but honestly.

Usopp:
90% of boredom. He doesn't have growth at all in the whole series as a person. As a fighter, he has grown a little but his personality ruins this character wholly for me, crying help or crying to Luffy to stop all the time. That's everything this character is, nothing more or less. I don't even get a reason for this character because of...

Tony Tony Chopper:
Chopper is pretty similar to Usopp but he gets things done if the situation requires it. Chopper is as a character is a direct upgrade for Usopp. He cries also for Luffy to stop and cries for help but if the situation requires it he can get things done what Usopp doesn't. Pretty interesting character and this one I would keep in this series.

Nami:
This character is 100% of fanservice and nothing else. She doesn't have anything to give to series and can be also annoying you-know-what. I hoped when I first time saw when she was rescued by Luffy that she is just a side character who drops after she's arc end but no.

Zoro:
This is a most interesting character in the whole series, he is the only one who has grown as a person in the whole crew, and that's pretty sad considering how long this series has already run.

Sanji:
After Usopp, this is the second most boring character in the whole series. He has not developed as a person nor as a fighter at all. And his obsession with women, a joke that is gone for too long and got boring already. I hope he dies on a nosebleed somewhere. Not gonna miss him at all.

Brook:
Can be a quite interesting character but feels like he's going to be in the same category as Sanji. Same joke over and over again and does not do anything new. At first in Thriller Bark arc he seemed a really interesting character and was quite good but when I went to Luffy's boat he went to the bottom, he honestly doesn't give anything new to the series and seems to be he is just there for filling Sanji, Usopp and Chopper joke so they don't repeat same joke 3 jokes whole episode but 4.

Nico Robin:
Sometimes just for fanservice but much better character than Nami. Personality much better and honestly in a big role to drive the story forward.

Franky:
Last but not least, this character got interesting design as a character and he has grown quite a lot. I hope they don't ruin this because Franky got a lot of potential as MC.

Enjoyment:
Well as I said in the story, this series is quite boring and I have been "watching" this. Only "watching" not watching cause it's hard to enjoy the same jokes over 500 episodes. And usually, I keep this rolling for background sound so when I'm doing other things. I had quite high hopes for this series because this has run so long but looks like expectations were crushed hard. Most likely I watch this series till it ends but just for background noise, not for entertainment.

Overall:
Well this section is more like TL;DR for me
- Do you like to watch the same joke in every episode till you die? sure, watch this. Otherwise, stay d*mn far from it.
- Do you like series that are 90% fanservice and otherwise boring? sure, watch this. Otherwise, stay d*mn far from it.
- Do you like characters don't grow at all (even after 500 episodes)? sure, watch this. Otherwise, stay d*mn far from it.
- If you want to watch this you can skip straight to the Summit War arc cause there isn't any development in this series so you won't miss anything.
