I can't believe my first review for an anime is for this show but I just have to get out my frustrations, be wary this is not going to be an organized review, but more of a rant in a single paragraph.
First off, anyone seeing this will probably think this review is just me complaining about generic shit like the ecchiness or the very simple premise, but that's not it at all. I actually enjoy the ecchiness, the harem, the op mc that all the girls like, the all-so-common aspect of guy who's really good at game goes into that game-like world with all
...
the levels are powers and shit that he had before, I think all of this is fine. No, it's not anything amazing, but I think this anime does it all pretty well actually, and I think it's one of the more enjoyable isekai anime that rely on tropes like these. So you may be asking yourself, ok then, what's wrong with it? Oh boy do I have something to tell you. What's wrong with this show is probably some of the most bafflingly stupid character writing and decisions I have seen in an anime in quite a while, SPOILER warning from here on out. So we have our badass demon lord mc right? Well, kind of. you see the whole idea of him putting on the act of being a badass but actually being a pussy is fine with me, but what's not fine is how unbelievably stupid he is and the illogical writing when it comes to his powers. Rem and Shera are abducted and put in danger multiple times in the early episodes of the show, so you'd think, damn this guy is op right? he'll realize he has to be careful and keep his guard up so they won't be in danger right? Wrong. One of them is suddenly in danger? *surprised Pikachu face* while he stands there looking like an idiot. This keeps up through the 11 episodes of the show I watched before I couldn't keep watching. And it's not like when I say danger I mean silly monsters, I'm talking psychotic religious organizations that want to torture the girls and a brother who tries to rape his sister, that's the kind of danger I'm talking about. It's not just the main character who's an idiot either, the other characters make some pretty questionable decisions as well, but at least they're not fucking demon lords and can be excused for being an idiot to a certain extent. One other thing is the main character's lack of resolve to kill people who are clearly a danger to his friends with the idiotic excuse "ah they're simply too weak to be worth killing, if they come at me again I will show no mercy" which of course doesn't mean shit when they go after your weak friends instead of you who you don't give a shit to protect. Oh yeah there's also the inconsistency with his powers, one second he's throwing out a fucking super nova explosion to eviscerate an entire army and the next he's running around town like a normal fucking person when one of his allies (who he doesn't care to protect) gets abducted. You're telling me he doesn't have or care to use a single fucking power to help him look? at all? You're probably wondering why I care this much about a silly harem isekai anime, and I'd agree with you if it was silly, but god damn are the intense scenes fucked up, they actually show to a scary degree the rape and torture moments as if they were in a anime that took itself seriously, but they're in a show where the main characters just like "ah shit, lost em again, guess Ill run around town at this slow ass pace while I barely put in any effort to look" and this contrast is really irritating.
Summary: not mad cause of isekai or harem or ecchiness or anything like that, upset cause of stupid writing for characters and inconsistently for mc's powers, if you don't care about the story at all and just want something to laugh at or want a big titty elf girl and cute loli cat-girl then you'll enjoy this, but I feel there are better options that don't contain scenes that make you legitimately feel for the characters, and an anime that switches between really dark and really light like a light switch.
