Before I started watching this show, I read several reviews about how bad it was. But I still persisted on watching it because I liked the plot and the whole Exorcist in Magic world thing. But that was a grave mistake. I should have listened to the reviewers.
Pro
+Good art and animation
+Decent Romance (with the yellow haired Slave)
Con
-Extremely bad plot development
-Extremely bad world building and magic system
-One of the worst climax I had witnessed
...
Now, this review is mostly just my ranting rather than a proper review. I just finished the show and I just couldn't hold back myself from criticizing it. It's probably because I went against the public opinion to watch this series because I liked the settings. But was disappointed in the end. I'll try my best to avoid major spoilers (But there is nothing to spoil in the first place, it's just a generic Isekai)
Plot: Most of the plot just doesn't make sense. To start off, the MC is as powerful as a God, there is nothing he can't do. He is literally immortal and can even bring the dead back to life. Yup he can cast Rinne Tensei without any cost or efforts. So how the heck did he die in his previous life!?? Anyway, he got reincarnated and wants to live a life as a weak person, because he doesn't want to attract too much enemies. But in the next scene, he "stages" a fight in front of everyone to show off how powerful he is, just so he could join a magic school! Note here that he doesn't have any magic power and there is no reason for him to learn about magic in the first place. Even after 13 episodes, I still don't get why he wanted to join the magic school.
Character: MC is just retarded and he had constant mood swing. He doesn't even know what he want to do, or why he does what he does. And FYI, the MC ain't some teenager from earth who got hit by Truck-kun. He's an old teacher with several disciples, and already has a wife in his previous life. But the Author probably forgot this mid way, so you'll never see the MC acting wise or respectful in any of the situations. The remaining characters are all just common Isekai topes like the Red haired Tsundere, White haired Kurudere, Half-elf slave, etc. But those girls and their backstory are are only things that kept me watching till the end.
Now, the thing that got me infuriated was the Climax aka the last 2 Ep of the series. If you are planing to watch the series anyway, I suggest you to just skip the last 2 eps, that's if you still want to keep your sanity intact. But here's a summary of what happens in Climax: The demons and humans had been in harmony for a very long time and both of them wants to continue this peace. But the birth of the Hero (Red haired Tsundere) after several hundred years causes the balance of power to be broken. Neither the Human Kingdom, not the Demon Kingdom wants the War, so both of them decides to get rid of the Hero (who threatens their peace). Now, the MC (if he had even a shred of wisdom) could have resolved the situation in many peaceful ways. But he decides to annihilate the Demon Embassy and slaughter hundreds of (innocent) human knights to rescue the girl. Not even considering the impact it could have on their family, friends and relatives. The story ends with both of them eloping into some neutral lands after escaping from the battlefield. And the other 2 girls were also waiting in the neutral lands for him. A perfect harem ending.
TLDR: This story felt like it was written by a middle school dropout who had social phobia and hated his family for no reason. The series is about himself fantasizing about world domination and being surrounded by harem.

The Score on MAL is purely because of hype from the source readers. The actual anime does not reflect it in anyway.
Pros:
-Catchy OP/ED song.
-..Can't think of anything else.
Cons:
-The plot is just another overused Shonen troupe. A talent-less MC in apocalyptic world suddenly getting OP monster power and becomes a hero. (Seems like a rip off of AOT?)
-The scenes are just way too predictable and just cringe. If you have seen the 1st four ep, you'll know what I mean.
-Pacing is very slow. And flashbacks are put at wrong time, nullifying the current scenario immersion.
-Lack of logic in most of the story development. Like the scenes
...
just happen because the plot needs it to.
-Lack of world building. I know it's only been 4 episodes, but I don't want to wait till the end of season just to find out what is even going on.
Bottomline: This anime might have been enjoyable if it had come out like 10 years back. But now, it's just an outdated plot and there are lots of better ones to see.

The underrated anime of the season. But of course, if you are not an Isekai fan, you have no business here. The anime is about a guy who gets isekai-ed into a (reverse-harem) dating sim game he once played. But not as the game protagonist, but a typical nobody! (mob). The anime genre also includes Romance, Revenge and a lil bit of Ecchi.
Pros
+Plot is original.
+Suspense and mystery. Story invokes curiosity.
Cons
-Art and animation are subpar.
-Not enough explanation about gacha, supernatural powers, etc.
...
End note:
I would recommend this anime to anyone who is looking for an Isekai with a brand new plot.

I am shocked to see platinum end getting such a low rating. Maybe the tastes of the new generation anime watcher are vastely different from mine. Or people just put too much expectations on this anime and got disappointed. I mean it's not fair to compare this anime to death note in the first place. I'd say this is a very good anime and worth a watch if you like action and suspense.
Pro
+Good story and it only gets better
+Excellent character development
+Excellent art and fluid animation
+Suspense and plot twists everywhere!
Cons
-Not the best ending it could have had
...
-Violence and suggestive contents, depending on what you like
-Minor plot holes and flaws in theories
End note: This anime is way too underrated, probably because of it's comparison to Death Note, which is totally unfair. An objective rating would be around (7.8), even with all the flaws considered. I would highly recommend watching this anime unless you hate violence and seeing innocent people dying.

This is another one of the generic isekai series about a girl who slipped into the video game she was playing. The plot is similar to Overlord, where the girl is the most OP entity in the world and she has a ton of servants following her. She goes around the world taking quests, killing bandits, meeting npcs created by former comrades, etc.
Pros:
+Good ed song
+Good art
Cons:
-Story is absurd and illogical
-Lack of seriousness
-MC is unmotivated and characterless
...
-MC's action are so illogical
I started watching this series casually with no expectation. The starting plot was good and hoped it would get better as the series progressed. But it only got worse and worse. I'm finally dropping it at the 6th episode, because of a very illogical action taken by MC.
*Spoiler*
So, after 6 episodes, the MC finally meets another player in the world. The player is a kid (boy) who also got trapped in this world. But the kid thinks this is still a game and continues to level up by attacking city soldiers. And our illogical MC, without any consideration for his age and immaturity, and without any warning, goes to kill him. Even the city soldiers took mercy on the boy and requests the MC to capture him instead. So, finally, the kid ends up in a dark dungeon, fully tied up and restrained (like that of those torture setups). And the MC goes on with her aimless adventure like nothing happened.
TLDR: This is one of the worse isekai series. Don't watch it unless you want to downgrade your IQ.

Some reviews here compare this anime to log horizon and Shiroe. As a die hard fan of Log Horizon, that really annoyed me. So, I just had write a review to say, there is nothing similar between this trash and that masterpiece.
Here's a quick pro and con on this anime, if you are planning on watching this.
Pro:
+Really good op and ed songs. It's not the best, but still better than many other anime this season.
+Decent art. But the main girl looks like a rip off of the infamous Arthuria Pendragon.
Cons:
-Very slow paced, with almost no progress on plot. I feel like there is no story
...
at all in this anime.
-Characters are very generic and bland. Almost no character development.
-Animation is very bad. combined with the slow pacing makes this show very dreadful to watch.
Now, people compare this anime to log horizon, because, the MC here is portrayed to be very intelligent. But in the 5 episodes I've seen, there has only been one scene, where the MC actually said something intelligent. Most of the times, his knowledge is just exaggerated and boring.
I have not read the source material. But maybe, the novel or manga could be better, simply because you can read it at a faster pace. And if you genuinely liked this plot and looking for something similar, I recommend 'Release that Witch' webtoon. It is by far the best strategy /administrative Isekai I've read.

This anime is on the top worst anime of the season list. And let me tell you why. But before that, let me give a quick pro and cons:
Pro:
+Good fantasy setting
+Good art with 99% Ecchi oriented
Con:
-Really cliche story
-Broken powers with even worse power explanations
-No, or Negative character Development!
...
First off, let me talk about his powers that most people consider as unique. So yeah, it is one-of-a-kind in Fantasy theme. Unlike all the OP Isekai/Fantasy heroes, who can absorb skills and boundlessly level up by slaying enemies, this guy, the protagonist of this anime, can create his OWN personalized powers. So, it's "Ability Creation". He can also Modify Abilities of others, both friends and foes. Now this makes it really dynamic, and paves way for Limitless possibilities.
However, he only uses it for the most obvious/foolish creations. And that power itself has so may loopholes, in concept as well as usage. And totally spoils the enjoyment in the anime.
Next most annoying part of this anime is the character development. On the very start of the anime, you'd notice how he's very grateful and loyal to the 1st heroine, aka childhood friend. But for some reason, he keeps pushing her feelings off and only keeps using her for the most lewdest of plays. And she also seems perfectly fine with it.
I've already read it's source material and dropped it half way. I can say, the story will only get worse and worse after this. But I gave the anime a go, hoping the art and animation would make up for it's brain cell killing story. But it was mediocre and definitely not worth the time. I'd not recommend this anime to anyone, unless if you are a hardcore ecchi fan, or looking for some softcore H.

Update: Completed the series. It got much better towards the end. And it's definitely worth a watch. But the only problem is, it ended in a cliff hanger with no confirmation for second season. That part was really disappointing.
........................................
I usually don't write reviews for a mediocre anime. But this one, the plot description is so misleading. It can easily drive you away from itself. But I won't tell you the actual plot, because it would spoil you the first episode. But if you still don't mind, read the LAST part/s of this review. Else skip it.
<spoiler free>
PRO:
+ Has the BEST OP/ED of this season!
+
...
Good amount of Suspense and Thriller.
+ Danganronpa style plot.
CON:
- The killer has an inconsistent personality.
- People get killed simply because of plot development.
- Almost no one suspects or cares about missing/dead classmates. Too unrealistic!
Overall: This anime is worth the watch, but not a priority if you don't have time. But I recommend at least listening to the Opening/Ending songs. They are just way too epic!
<spoiler>
Plot: Now, as promised.. This anime is set on a world where some people are born with supernatural abilities. These kids are sent to different "isolated" boarding schools across the world, where they learn to develop their abilities. Why? It's so they can become "heroes" and fight against Aliens/Monsters/Evil forces. Or so they are told!
But in reality, history has shown that ALL Heroes will eventually become selfish and terrorize the common people for their own benifits. So, over time, these boarding schools were created to gather all the "heroes" and kill them all stealthily. Because, even if a few of them realizes/escapes, they would be able to develop their powers fully, and become capable of killing billions of people.
Now, to kill them stealthily, the government sends a single highly trained assassin as a transfer student. And this anime is all about how she(without any powers) deals with all the enemies of humanity (Heroes)!
Random Rants:
I have no idea who the target audience for this show are! Because, even if Nana is killing them for greater good, she is clearly evil. Betray and backstab is all that defines her! If this show is really all about how she kills every last one of the classmates, then I'd reduce the score. And I will definitely not recommend this to anyone.

First of all, this review is for anime-only. Not for its manga. (I have read its manga, but I won't include any feelings for it in this review). As when writing this review, I've completed 10/13 eps. But I guarantee its not gonna get any better.
I only write reviews for anime which are either exceedingly good, or horribly bad. This is the latter.
Pros:
+Good ost and ed song.
Cons:
-Really bad plot.
-Character development is superficial and unacceptable.
...
-The emotions behind fights are unjustified.
-The mechanism behind fight itself is unexplained.
I even lost my interest to write this review, midway. Its that bad! Just stay away. What's really bugging me is, how is this anime having a score of 7+, when so many people are giving a bad review?

I started watching hentai 10 years ago. And I lost count of the hentai's I've watched till now. But this is my first Hentai review! Know what that means? This is by far my most favorite hentai of all times! But there is still 1 ep left to air when I'm writing this.
))Story: THIS IS INCEST! If it's not your thing, stay away! (mild spoiler ahead, equivalent to plot)
The story is about a young boy, who has to take care of the family, after his father's death. He raises his younger sister with much affection and love. He took her sister, always
...
being with him, for granted until one certain day: When his sister told him that she got a love confession from one of her classmates. But little did he know that she only lied in order to make him jealous! Thus their illicit relationship starts with much passion.
))Art: I really loved it. There was lot of detailing and everything had that smooth flow of animation!
))Sound: The music was very soothing and it felt like I was playing my favorite oldschool rpg. Sadly, it was very mild to give a lasting impression. But I bet you'll hum it all day, if u rewatch it paying attention to music particularly.
))Character: There is a explanation to the development they have, and everything makes sense. That's all you can expect from an hentai ova.
))Enjoyment: I nly wished I hadn't fapped so early into the episode. There was still so much I wanted to enjoy. Well I'm going to watch it only countless times again! I'll catch up..
))Overall: 10 for everythin, 'cause most of the hentai series these days suck on several levels. This is a gem among gems. It's similar to Virgin night, if you know how famous it was during it's times.
