I really wanted to like this anime. I love the source material, as well as the characters. But this anime is what a lot of us in this scene expected: low-budget drivel that doesn't really do the source justice. I'm glad that it has an adaptation to begin with, but I'd be lying if I was totally satisfied. The animation is, let's face it: quite poor, but strangely enough, I feel it is at its worst in the OP and ED. The actual show is serviceable, despite wonky faces now and then. I will say that it is extremely faithful to the source, though. What ... you see is what you get, but that in addition to its quality means that this adaptation really doesn't bring anything new to the table.

I've read the original manga (all 8+2 currently available in English!), and I follow the author's art. I recognize that the art is... well, let's say niche. My kind of niche, though, so I obviously enjoyed that part of it.

I'm here for that sweet sweet WG, that jiggle, those thighs and especially those tummies, big or just chubby. If you're also here for that, then just go watch it already. If you're not... well, I'll say that this is still extremely funny, but bad official subs do hold it back. If there are fansubs, I'm sure they're better, but in typical HIDIVE fashion, they've played them way, way too loose. My Japanese probably doesn't even qualify as "beginner level", but even I can tell these subs just aren't accurate. It's not 2005, guys! We know things about Japanese culture! You don't need to "dumb it down" for us! (ex. E11, uses "valley girl" instead of "gyaru")

TL;DR: If this is your kind of anime, you probably have already watched it all the way through. The rest of you may not be as impressed-- but I can recommend the manga any day of the week.

I'm going to be honest: I truly, unironically really enjoyed this anime. I really don't think it deserves all the hate, and as far as I'm concerned, so long as you know what you're getting into, you can really enjoy this anime.

I'm going to be upfront first, though: This anime is exceedingly standard for the isekai genre. It honestly doesn't pull many punches in terms of originality at all (though the bi? gorilla girl is a great touch). But that's okay. This was an anime I watched to relax- it's mindless, and not super deep. It's also not super fanservice-y, which is appreciated. MC is ... clueless, as usual, but not exceedingly so. He has brain enough to figure out obvious solutions within the episode. And as far as harems are concerned, this is one of my favorite relationships. Personally, I'm tired of every girl in a harem fighting each other constantly, and seeing that not happen, with them rolling with the punches as they come, is honestly really refreshing, at least in my opinion. On that note, I will say I wish they'd focused more on the story than the harem building, but this has ended in a way that is super open to a part 2 or season 2, and I think there's a fair amount of potential where the story is going. I also rather like the way Seiichi's overpoweredness is presented as a sort of gradual increase (that he doesn't much care for) as opposed to how it is shown in How Not To Summon A Demon Lord, for example.

I could go on, but I'll boil it down to this: If you're looking for something quick, enjoyable, and funny in a mindless sort of way, then Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei is for you. If you're looking for a fresher take on the isekai genre, then you should probably look elsewhere.
