TLDR: Well, it's better than bad story with good animation.

Let's get the cons out of the way:
- This is the laziest animation I seen this season and I just watched "Bye Bye Earth". Photoshop filters to make backgrounds look like bad artwork, CGI mobos... Hell even the main character and support were bad CGI at times.
- Cliche premise. For some reason Japan is obsessed with transporting an entire class to another world. This time they didn't even bother with being hit with Truck-kun. They were in it. And yes, our beloved MC was the weakest who get separated and became the strongest so far.
- ... The writers goes out of their way for you to make "evil" characters hateable. It is very cringe and jarring.
- Low IQ plot that's been done before so many times.
- Tig bitty elf girl. Everyone like big bouncy ballons and a pretty face but needles exposure and unnecessary nude scenes cheapens the story.
- Stupidly OP MC. The few times he got hurt later on, he really didn't have to. The over dramatization of fights where he basically single combos the monsters just took away from the moment.

There are Pros:
- The MC is flexible and not bound by a holier than thou code. This leads to some "practical application" of his skill set, which is often lacking in these types of stories. ie the dead don't talk and sometime venges is necessary. He stays low key and doesn't get wrapped up in a whimsical romance. So, the story is not a complete bust.
- Voice acting and sound was decent enough not to distract you.
- Decent pacing keeps you engaged while not rushing through plot points.
- Only the second time I've seen the mechanic "his class is so low he gains XP very fast", which makes sense.
- The world is diverse enough not to have you sleeping away.
- At least a few characters got a back story explained.

All in all, this is worth a watch for isekai fans but it not something to rush to. The only reason I it gets such a high score from me is the MC does what need to be done, which tickled my fancy bone. Otherwise, it's a solid 6.

This story is a better show than I am viewer.

It starts of in a rather cliche manner but rapidly gets serious in a nonchalant way. The universe is crafted rather uniquely with obvious elements of classic anime fantasy and a touch of Alice in wonderland. Belle, our Alice, is our protagonist, or so I am led to believe, and is the only pure human surrounded by furies. They don't think of her as human since they don't know what that is, so she is just lacking in their opinion, but she isn't really ostracized either. An interesting move is that their version of animals is ... 1/2 plant. Swords are grown and not made. Battles are fought in acts resembling a play. Thing get really strange, and a lot of detail went into it.

This is where me as a weak viewer looking for a quick fix comes in. The pacing feels slow when it really isn't. Everyone's motivations are clear and sufficient back story is given so that you are not lost, but something about the execution of this still seems off. I found myself dozing off and having to skip back to rewatch the part of the show I missed a lot.

The sound and voice acting were decent. The CGI was jarring as always. The finally, while not a cliff hanger, clearly is setting itself up for a second season but I doubt it is coming with this show sub 7 aggregated score.

TLDR: Potential wasted.

The whole premise of the series; speaking Russian while the boy secretly understands, is basically underutilized while the rest of the show is an almost standard romcom, hence the 5 rating. The all-too-common tropes are in there. Honestly, there is nothing fresh beyond the first episode. The sound, voice acting, and animation is fine. The story is uninteresting because...it's been done a million times before. The characters are boring, so you don't get invested, again because it's been done a million times before. I kept watching because I was hoping some fresh would happen, but it didn't. If you're a romcom fan, I ... guess it's worth a watch to get your fix but it is not worth the time imho.

TLDR: I feel like piece of my brain rotted with this series.

Dude gets isekaied to be reborn as a goblin....blah blah blah.... gains the power of what he eats..... pulls a Captain Kirk by having sexy with almost everything female. And it's the last part that make my head hurt. This is basically a hentai without the nudity. He literally gets the skill LEBIDO. If the girls are not attracted to him for being OP, they submit to him from Stockholms syndrome and as a last resort, he just rapes them till they fall for him. Whoever came up with this shit watched the ... category section of a hentai site and asked themself, "How can I squeeze in everything and still be allowed to air on TV". There might as well have been no plot for this to add value to.

To say this show was stupid would be an overwhelming understatement. If there was a show to make you go outside and walk on some grass, this would be it. I genuinely feel bad for the team saddled with the responsibility to make this animation a reality.

All is not lost as the series manages to mediocre enough in other areas as to not be unwatchable...but why would you want to? It's as though there was a demand for a new place on the anime sex scale. [Hentai]->[Ecchi]->[Whatever this is]->[Tasteful Fan service]->[Sex scene that adds value or context to a plot]

TLDR: Generic but enjoyable.

Listen, this is not another Slime or Jobless isekai. Just some plain ole turn off your brain fun. Our MC gets zapped into your bog-standard fantasy world by truck-kun no less, with prior knowledge about everything because it's a game she completed. If you didn't guess from the name, she's not the protagonist. Yeah, I know, it's been done a million times. What separates this one is our NPC MC is a dead pan, let me avoid all the problems in a common-sense way while becoming OP and caring the plot along, is likeable. The characters, while not the greatest, fulfill ... their roles and grow on you. Even the annoying ones. The animation is not horrible and if you squint your eyes. the CGI is not distracting. The sound and voice acting gets the job done. There is not much else to say. It's a generic isekai but a good way to waste a Sunday evening on.

TLDR: Lost of potential but dumb

This show has a lot going for it. Funny characters, comical story lines, good animation and voice acting but the story and characters are just dumb. The show starts off with the weekly staged power ranger vs doomed monsters. Why? Who knows?! You being to feel sorry for the monsters and they go out of their way to make the power rangers seem evil. They give some flash backs on select characters but ultimately it really never justified why they are doing what they are doing. Our MC goes from likeable to stupid every episode. The world mechanics are inconsistent. ... There is dissention in the ranks of the power rangers. Nothing makes sense. The best you can do is squeeze off a few laughs and move on.

TLDR: Potential wasted.

The show starts building a decent enough world but then goes sideways really fast. Watching this happen for 24 episodes was an exercise in patience rather than an enjoyable escape. Off the bat, characters are introduced but are either killed or never heard from again. The MC, Ragna, gets way too OP with a grandfather paradox. He is passionate about killing dracu...Dragons, for perfectly acceptable reasons, but was well mannered and sensible right up until he got OP. At which point, he became an annoying, irrational twat. Just like a lot of Japanese anime, Ragna defeats all his enemies in a samurai stance ... while screaming with willpower as lightning bolts shooting out of his ass. God, it's cliche and irritating. Apparently, his power came at the cost of brain cells. Imagine giving a 6-year-old superpowers; that's Ragna. At least he is juxtaposed with Crimson; possibly the shows only saving grace. Cold, calculating, and forward-thinking. Ragan is willing to kill off the whole squad while charging in for a 1% chance of victory. Crimson will sacrifice tens of thousands for a 99% chance of victory with a good plan. Somehow this duo is a team, and only through the power of plot armour does the show progress. But why do they want to kill mythical anthrometamorphic beings that are weak to silver and sunlight? Because the author thought vampires x dragons x genocidal religious cult were a good idea. Does your brain hurt yet? No? Well, mine is. Throw in a couple other cults, human dragon hybrids, and magicians, all evolving from a collapse of what appears to be a technology-driven society not unlike ours. So, there are a lot of good ideas in the mix, but they are wasted on a piss poor story with mostly recycled characters. The sound, animation, and voice acting were more than acceptable, but nothing spectacular. Pacing was all over the place. This anime seemed to be stitched together by an edge lord high schooler with too much free time.

TLDR: Generic reincarnation with stupid OP power.

This is an isekai enough story where the MC is OP straight out of the vagina. With all this old memories and massive mana reserves, nobody is a challenge and solves everyone's problems. The end. Oh yeah, they make him as girly as possible. There is some ass and tits. You know when you're a kid and want McDonald's but mom says "we have McDonald's home"? This is what you get. Some hard bread with Dollard store mince and ketchup. Technically it's a burger, you can eat and not hate it but it's just not as good.

TLDR: Pleasantly moving.

The whole story is right in the title. If you jump in expecting much more, your expectations will be dashed. It does explorer the mystical aspects but is far from the main story. The focus is of course the elderly couple and their newfound energy but more importantly, good looks. Strangely it doesn't change their personality as various scenarios play out with their children, grandchildren, neighbours, appearance and memories. There wasn't much to explore and so the creators did the right thing. Keeping the series 11 episodes long and wrapping up things just as a repetitive vibe was kicking in was the best ... course of action. Although you are left wanting more of this wholesomeness. The series somber ending leaves you with a sense of melancholy. This is not the show for the typical anime fan, but it is well worth the watch for a slightly more mature audience

The art is acceptable as nothing groundbreaking was needed for this content. Voices were well done and is exactly what I envisioned. The pacing was a tad too fast or slow in some areas but isn't a deal breaker by any means.

TLDR: Generic mediocrity is painting this show in the best possible light.

Summary: Action romance, drama, comedy and corny AF is what this show is, and is what its audience expects. I don't know who the audience is, but I've been told they exist. Our young OP virgin loner sorcerer edge lord MC has difficulty talking to people. Shocker, right? Self-inserters rejoice! Blah blah blah blows his whole wad of cash on a single elf slave in 3 seconds because...she looks good. Virginity confirmed. Don't worry. She's a virgin too! How do I know? She lifts up her dress, shows him her panties, and assures him ... that "himen.sys" was never loaded.
1. Yeah, I herd that a lot in university.
2. Whoever gets that joke, you're a genX and need to avoid this show.
This painful interaction continues as, our slave elf is somehow OP herself, and just assumes she is a sacrifice. It is never explained why that is the case, but it is somehow common in this universe, especially to virgins, to gain power. Is it that the more you do the horizontal mambo, the less powerful you are? When you get sacrificed, does the chakra get transferred to the person dealing the killing blow? Who the f'k knows...It's like they incentivise being a slut or adolescent weddings as a survival stratagy. Her powers are limited by the slave collar placed on her. Yet, somehow, in a fight with clergy, she went Hashirama on them with Mokuton Hijutsu. Imagine her without the collar. Seriously, you have to imagine because, for the rest of the show, she's a fantasy elf maid that cooks, cleans and takes baths with the other girl in the show. Speaking of, the other girl is a knight of the clergy, and they really hate sorcerers because...reasons. They got a total of 12 knights with magic swords! The rest of the clergy are pretty much cannon fodder comic relief plot devices. Blah blah blah, they adopt Kanna Kobayashi from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and she pretty much does the exact same thing. F'k my brain! Blah blah blah and they all live happily in the mansion. The End.

The animation aint bad. The voice actors tried really hard. What plot they had moved along with a reasonable pace.

I spared you the absurdity of the details and myself from having to recall them. Do yourself a favour by avoiding this crap.
