This show is written by the game guy who made Konusuba, so if you like Konosuba i reccomed you rewatch konosuba instead, because this show is not worth it at all. It is inferior in every single way you can think of.

The story is about a "Evil company" and a "Evil hero". The reason i wrote Evil Hero and not Anti-Hero is because he is not a anti-hero at all. He is just a cruel and mean hero, who does bad things because the author made me do it to "compensate" for when he does good deeds that the story needs to progress. It ridiculous. ...

The show has "comedic relief" at the most inappropriate places. The demon army will wipe out all the humans of the city if the battle is lost? Time to make lame jokes like it's a normal day with no stakes at all! The music shifts to clownish comedy music in the middle of tense moments for some bizzare reason, Why? To make it fun? It certainly is not funny, it just comes off like the guy who wrote the story had no idea what he was doing and thought that adding in "comedy" randomly into a moment would somehow make it good.

Pretty much all the characters are flat and most are unlikable. The main Character is a grown up warrior version of Kazuma, but without any of the positive aspects so he is just a perverted trash heap. Most other characters have serious flaws that don't make you attached to them at all.

In the end when i think of what a failure this anime is, I wonder "how the hell did he manage to make Konosuba a success?" Was it just pure luck that Konosuba was good and not like this? I don't have any hopes that this author will manage to do better in his career.

If you like a good Comedy/Isekai, pick anything else.

When I saw the first episode, I though it was a breath of fresh air in the current anime scene where so many shows are copy-pasted of the same base mold with very little difference between them. What made me think this is different from other Isekai is that the MC is not a hero, he's not chosen by god to be reborn, he's not summoned to be a hero against the Demon Lord. He's just born as a child in a small family, not really special or chosen for anything. He has to learn how the world is as he grows up and we ... learn with him. I really enjoyed these first few episodes where we follow him as he grows up in this new world.

The art and sounds are good. While the writing in the first half is good, it deteriorates across the half way point. Perhaps the author just didn't know where to go with it and made it more generic because of it? It ends up being more or less a standard fantasy story going on adventure because of plot.

Most characters are good, with one huge exception. The worst character 'Eris Boreas' is introduced in Ep 5 and remains in every single episode making it worse with her presence. She is a red headed Tsuntusn loli who is incredibly violent for no reason, is dumb as a brick and incredibly arrogant. There is not a single positive to her at all, unless you count "she's a loli" as somehow being a positive that would make up for all her terrible flaws. Her grating voice is so bad that I ended up muting whenever she spoke. The "character growth" is that she will not hate the MC after a while, but Every. Single. One. of all her negative traits will not change at all.

If the violent loli had not been in the show it would have been so much better, even the story's lack of development wouldn't really matter, but unfortunately that's not the case.

If you are a masochist who enjoys awful loli characters then this is the show for you. Otherwise it will probably be a average show with less enjoyment the longer it drags on as you realize that there's no real story to it. And so because of this it doesn't have a real ending either, just a "wait until season 2". No thanks.
