Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome desu

This is the 200th anime I've watched since I made my account here, so I decided to write a short review to celebrate this "distinguished" moment. [TLDR: I could have choosen a better one]

You may ask why it is recommended despite I rated it for a measly 4? The thing is, this show has some merits despite the abysmal execution. Such merits which is rare in the isekai genre. You may wonder, what merit can a crappy generic isekai have?
Simple, a finished story. That alone is commendable.
Well, this is the sad reality of the isekai genre. It counts almost a miracle if we ... ever see the end of an adventure.

Other than that the only aspect of the show worth mentioning are the characters. Don't expect much, but the MC is acceptable. Nothing spectacular, but he is not a whimpy looser, which is always a win in my book. The sidekicks are forgettable cardboard cutouts though. Not to mention most of them are completly unneccesary. Anyway, as an Isekai connoisseur, I have seen far worse.

What are the flaws? Basically everything else. So I'm not gonna waste your time explaining them, here is a list instead:
-Low budget animation
-Horrendous, laughable fight coreography
-unremarkable stock OST (and terrible sound balance)
-Semi-interesting premise ruined by the painfully unimaginative writing and catastrophic pacing
-Episode starts->MC goes to a new place -> meets with an old friend -> old friend overjoyed -> flashback how they met. Rince and repeat.
-I don't even know what the hell was the last 3-4 episodes. Damn, it was garbage. The last few minutes is semi-decent though.

In summary, a horribly executed garbage show, which doesn't even meet the fairly low Isekai standards, but at least a finished product, and I appriciate the attempt. So, to support the initiative, I slapped a recommended tag on it. It would be nice to see more finished Isekai stories, but for god's sake, please execute it at least decently.

So, I watched this in a day. It was not the worst that I have seen. I've watched a lot of isekai in the past month and I can say that I am an isekai enjoyer. This is not the best; the idea is very good and it is something different. Yes, the art style is the same as in every isekai, and the story could have been better. I recommend this only if you want to watch something where you don't need to think much, like every isekai. I turned my brain off for 2-3 hours and I just enjoyed it. Don't just criticize ... things because they are not the best of the best.

I have started this anime, thinking that it'll be another amazing Isekai anime. But oh my was I wrong. It was Isekai, yes, but it wasn't good at all. I would have given it only three stars, but the ending was okay, so it got another one. Okay, now let's start.

First off, I knew that this was a harem anime, but oh my. There were like ZERO female characters that weren't completly sexualized. It was terrible. And even if the character was okay and not TOO bad, her look was way to revealing. I of course can't tell you what you are allowed to like, ... but it for sure wasn't for me.

Secondly, I was expecting cool fight scenes, but no. The fight scenes were boring and dry and always felt like they were being dragged on for no good reason. It could've ended earlier already, but no! Suddenly he gets up again for NO REASON! It was just frustrating. And the visuals in the fight were just disappointingly sad. Especially the final fight. It's the FINAL FIGHT, but it was just extermly... unepic.

Thirdly, the story. The story wasn't the worst thing. You could tell that there was a main plot line and some "side quests". That was pretty okay. Each episode had a different mini story that in the end led very well together. The problem is that in every ministory the new character would be a girl. And every girl had the weirdest reasons to like him or even to be this obsessed about him. It was sad to see.

Fourth off, the voices. Overall, pretty good. I could mostly feel the emotions, especially the scene in which those people were experimented on. That was great. But oh god. I'm used to female characters having a higher voice than male ones in anime, but this was just disgusting. I could barely listen to them.

Fifth off, his bestfriend. I feel like she could have been a cool, maybe even badass character, but she always had to be saved, her whole personality seemed to be about the main character and not killing someone. For a character this close to the main character this is just disappointing. She was like a tasteless cake. Evrything was there, but the flavour was completly gone.

And lastly, the main character. I actually like the main character. It made fun to watch him and I loved his morals. He's kind, but also determinded and strong. He was an amazing main character. Sadly was the also the only really good thing in this enemy and the only reason I gave this anime more than just two stars. So sadly he can't shine, because I was so focused on all the bad elements in this enemy. And even when he could shine, it was a pretty sad, dark flame.

The ending felt a little empty, but that is just my opinion. And the songs are extremly forgetable, which is a fact.

Overalll, I DON'T RECOMMEND IT. I feel a lot better and I'm very glad that I finally finished it.
