To preface I absolutely love isekais even when its focussed less on combat but good god was this one terrible.
I had such high hopes for this show because of the cool looking characters in the promotional material and such but sadly I was completely let down as the coolest looking character (and the only character who ended up being semi likeable Carmine) didn't get much screen time though that is a completely subjective opinion.
Some points as to aspects of the show are as follows
- To be blunt the voice acting is normally either dead pan or over delivered there is no real emotional depth to ... be found.
- The art/animation is fine but nothing spectacular and while I normally don't mind CGI, the use of it in this show at random points is a let down honestly as it kinda breaks immersion to some degree.
- The story is for the most part after the first few episodes a complete mish mash of events which have little to no correlation they just kinda happen without context or that would be the case but the series enjoys shoehorning in tons of information at the beginning of episodes to cover its tracks as if that's supposed to count as adequate world building.
- The character depth is honestly about as low as it goes here. As I mentioned earlier a character I found to be intriguing ended up being totally unutilised as his only involvement was to solve a problem which had literally never been shown to us as if we were expected to know all about it but sadly this is the fate of most of the male cast as they're introduced and then quickly left behind to instead focus on the main character and his growing harem.
- The character relationships in this show are completely dry as the only good two dynamics this show could have had ended up being wasted. While one (Roroa) could've been a direct challenge to the protagonist and his kingdom its all thrown away to become another member of his harem for no real gain on her part it's just a plot device. As for the other (Hakuya) it was spoiled not because of the characters actions but just by the fact that he can never interact with the protag one on one as the mc is forced to have at least two of his harem members with him at all times. Speaking about the harem though I think the show wants us to actually care about their relationships while giving them literally no growth at all and just substituting it with brief one on ones (only with the main girl) just before the mc goes to sleep from overworking.
- The past events in this show are non existent aside from mentions, they're something akin to cookie clicker where you set something up and now it magically runs without maintenance whatsoever but I suppose that is at least better then what the series has a habit of doing which is showing the result of something major the MC has done completely off screen with no context as to how it happened other than (well in my world it was like this so I replicated it)
In conclusion this was the biggest let down of an isekai I've possibly ever seen even on par with "In another world with my smartphone" and if you for some reason still want to watch this then all I can say is good luck to you

To say this show is anywhere near a masterpiece is a complete lie but that being said the show does exactly what it needs to do and it does it well at that.

The show is a lighthearted journey of a pitifully weak dragon who after being kicked out of his family home must go looking for a safe place to live with the help of a jack of all trades style real estate agent who he meets on his journey which is definitely a unique synopsis for a show.

Despite the simple but unusual premise, I wouldn't say the show was ever boring as there are ... numerous references to other media which were fun to pick up on, additionally, the contrast between a weak, emotionally vulnerable but scary-looking dragon and a strong, emotionally bone dry but gentle-looking elf makes for some entertaining moments, this is sometimes a bad thing though as characters can seem one dimensional, luckily I think the pacing moves the story along before it becomes too much of an issue.

The task of finding a safe home doesn't necessarily sound like a difficult task but there are numerous trials and tribulations the main character Letty must face on his house hunting quest one repeated annoyance being other races, primarily humans, who for one reason or another wish to use or hurt Letty which shows the "scary" monsters as the good guys which is becoming a much more popular theme in shows like "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime"

One major thing to note is that this show doesn't focus on combat at all despite there being stats so you shouldn't expect some crazy fights going into this show, but the story is overall engaging enough to hold your attention without them and manages to balance moments of sincerity with moments of comedy. The art style and animation are surprisingly good considering I hadn't heard any hype surrounding this show.

All in all, I would recommend this show if you're looking for something to relax and watch or if you like fantasy shows but don't mind the lack of fighting.

I need to start by saying this is a stunning movie and is worth everyone's time. It is reminiscent of a Disney movie, so it has a nostalgic vibe to it which is always comforting.
The story is quite beautiful, and it's enjoyable being able to see Kyuuta (the main character) experience two worlds and how he is treated differently in both of them.
The father/son, mentor/student relationship that forms between the two main characters is heavily focussed on and is a joy to see.
The main antagonist didn't just appear out of nowhere however it wasn't as heavily built-up as other parts of the film meaning overall ... I give the whole movie a 9 out of 10

This is a great show which makes me wonder why it has so many negative reviews. By all means, this isn't a masterpiece however, the only real problem I find is with the pacing as it's a relatively short show with only 13 episodes meaning characters aren't as fleshed out as they could be.
If you're looking for a show to sit and binge or maybe watch dubbed in the background then this is it. You don't have to worry about having a wimpy or whiny main character, because the main character in this show is as bada** as they come. However, this also means he ... doesn't struggle so you won't get to see any major development for him.
Overall I gave this show an 8 because it has some pretty good animation, a few cool characters, and even a decent storyline but due to the pacing which led to a lack of character development, it's not worthy of a higher rating in my opinion.

As soon as you get over the unusual art style the show is great it took me about 2/3 episodes for it to become normal for me, and from then on in I was hooked.
The show does a pretty great job of building up different parties instead of just the main character and his immediate tiny circle.
Overall the show is a pretty wild ride considering how normal it starts and where it ends up during season 2.
The combat in the show is good as it's not too boring due to the introduction of invisible black matter (IBM) however it's not as insane or random as ... a jjba fight
I highly recommend the show even if you dislike the art style.
