The reason I don’t recommend this anime is that whether you’re new to isekai or a seasoned watcher, there’s a high chance you’ll find it boring. For newcomers, it’s not a good introduction to the genre, as it doesn’t showcase what makes a great isekai anime.
The character designs leave a lot to be desired, but I get that the genre is overexploited—when an isekai follows a working formula, it’s criticized for being unoriginal, yet when it tries something new, it often gets backlash. I know I’m falling into that same trap, but as someone who has watched a lot of isekai, I can confidently say

I don’t like making long reviews, so I’ll keep this brief. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely borderline bad. While it doesn’t do much justice to the isekai genre, it was engaging enough to follow week by week to see where it was going. It tried its best to take notes from Overlord, but unfortunately, it neither surpassed it nor left a significant mark as a successor, which is disappointing. I expected more from something following in the footsteps of such a standout series, but it ultimately failed to deliver.
I haven’t watched Sword Art Online yet, but from what I’ve seen, this anime seems to ... Dec 24, 2024

I’ll be short for anyone reading this—I won’t be long. This anime might be generic, and it has all the things people may say about any fantasy anime, but this anime is the worst offender of all... it’s quite bad to the point that it hurt my eyes. I lost my humanity after watching this, just to leave a testament for others. This anime really damages the reputation of isekai.
My hand is shaking as I struggle to describe how badly written this anime is. I’m short on words, as I’m not very good at expressing myself, so understanding what truly bad and awful can be ... Dec 23, 2024
The anime follows the story of a guy who gets kicked out of a party and then turns out to be powerful. The mystery of how and why is not that important, and it adds to the intrigue. The anime in general doesn’t stand out that much—it’s quite a generic fantasy.
The animation is decent, not amazing, but consistent despite the low budget. The fights and many things in the narrative are pretty lackluster. It’s quite common these days, the trope of the overly cheerful, overly enthusiastic female lead paired with a somewhat dense and dull guy. This relationship is repeated often but seems to be the favorite ... Aug 17, 2023

I'm not as critical of this anime as I am of others, although I do notice some contradictions in the arguments presented. There are also plot holes and flaws in the story. Despite these issues, I still find it enjoyable. The music and art animation are up to a high standard, showing that it was created with care. Thus, I don't have any complaints in this aspect; in fact, it's much better than many other anime.
This anime makes an effort to introduce new ideas to the VRMMORPG genre, which is often present in other anime. It aims to explore arguments about digital life, including whether ... Dec 21, 2022
The anime seems to draw inspiration from many existing works, which is not necessarily a bad thing. However, it falls short of exceeding or outdoing those works. The saving grace is that it still manages to be a decent show by utilizing already proven ideas. My review is mixed because the anime production could have focused more on improving character design and other aspects.
The animation is not groundbreaking, but it is decent enough and not a distraction. It gives the impression of being low budget or having an inexperienced FX team, as the magic circles look mediocre compared to those in other anime. The ... Jun 16, 2022
To be honest, this anime is kind of a pain to watch. Most of the characters are kind of annoying. the main character is usually scared and hesitates most of the time to act.
It took me a while to finish it because I found it annoying due to the characters always being traumatized. This anime proves that the overuse of traumatized characters can make things annoying and painful for the viewer for no good reason. I hope that if they ever make a second season, they stop the overuse of scared characters. If you're already out of patience and bored, not in a good mood, ... |
