It was a fun ride. Did lost interest sometimes but still liked most of the series. The story was kind of unique. 7/10 from me.
Let there be light...

Behold of my awesomeness~

This is a safe ending. It should have ended with a cliffhanger. Since there's not enough materials to make S2,and they're not sure if they will pick up this show ever again,they make anime orginal ending. I doubt this will get S2,but I hope it will get.

Surprisingly good given the source material. Pretty good for an isekai, gets credit for being it's own show and not just recycling the same old tropes.

I'm surprised this anime doesn't have an higher score.
The cast is so funny and lovable and Kinji is an amazing character.
8/10. I hope it gets an S2.

lol Ninomiya beats Belza on career & heading toward demonlord.

Surprising fun work sol isekai, love this scumbag mc & his fun group, with some smooth short fights. Rimu's great everywhere, in bg, even in ED dance.

I thought Ninomiya was going to get the short end of the stick by the end of it all, but I’m glad it was all good. I didn’t like Ninomiya early on but he got better and better. I really didn’t like Shia throughout though, and she was most annoying in this episode. Oh well, 7/10 for me

Can't believe it's over...
But what a great ending ahahaha, Belza never stood a chance against our great leader!

I will miss the Ninomiya vibe! Also i do hope for a 2S, idk if there is source material available but i would love to see a 2nd season getting an adaptation!
8~9/10

Its hard to find a show with a bastard protagonist that jeff bezos'd himself in another world. Honestly wasn't expecting much from an isekai but this one is gold. 8/10

Man, its weird for me to watch an anime and not really have any complain about characters. Yes the show had some bad jokes here and there and in the spanish dub they just couldn't figure out what pronouns to use on Ranga, but my "complains" are pretty minor and don't overshadow in the slightest my enjoyment with this, maybe the biggest one being that they sometimes dropped you a little out of context when the ep starts, like you missed something or and after credits scene lol.

Pretty good show, every ep was enjoyable and I really enjoyed the mental gymnastics of the protagonist lol

PD: still find it funny my man wanted the ants to unionize lol.

This was a decent show. It stumbled here and there, but I had fun with it and appreciated that it was a very non-standard isekai.

Decent ending for a meh show. Most of the comedy being around the MC acting like an asshole to everyone around him isn't really my kind of thing.

It was okay. It's slightly different from other isekai but the core concept is the same. The "business tycoon" story is interesting but there is not much to it. The protagonist is probably the main thing makes this show interesting. Everything else is a hit or miss. The ending was somewhat predictable.

This was an ok episode/finale in an ok season/show

The characters are likeable but not overly compelling. The plot felt kind of mishmashed at times, skipping time periods, or jumping from past/present and back. I still don't understand why they even went into the future to speak with that era's demon king. was that demon king the grown up version of Sky? idk, i could probably find the answer to that if i looked it up. last i recall the ships were flying overhead of the future demon king and there were two doors. then the dude magically reappears in the current time to save his buddies, looking all new but literally having no new abilities. it made no sense. again, maybe i just wasn't paying attention, idk

all in all this was a pretty flat 6/10. didnt rise much higher than that score throughout the season, but didn't really fall much below it at any point, either. closer to a 5/10 than 7/10 though, fur sure

idk if there will be another season. but if there was, would i watch it? maybe. probably. but i'm in no rush

decent ride overall, the ending was very meh. for the most part it was a funny show except the last eps. it does break away from the normal isekai by giving us a hard(ish) working guy. dont know why they gave us some new chars at the end of the show, is it opening up for a 2nd season?

It always saddens me how such great shows full of potental only get 12 episodes, while far too many average anime shows get at least 24. Deungeon Black Company should not only have been longer, but deserves a 2nd season. I can not part with characters I enjoy and appreciate so often. Despite all the corporate nonsense that looms over things like a giant monster summoned from a deungeons 5th floor...the show was a hit. solid 8/10 for the music and overall enjoyment. YAh the backgrounds and animation were at times lower quality, but given how outrageous anime characters often are when being silly or demonstrative, it doesnt matter tbh. KINOMIYA SAMA!!!! ^<^

This was a fun ride. Different than standard Isekai, mc is scummy with good intentions and is actually smart enough to pulls things off. I also like how he get the power and ending he wanted and there wasn't like a soft reboot to start the adventure again from square 1.

Enjoyed it greatly. 8/10

This is the greatest show to put light on entrepreneurship, with its ups and downs, the surface logic of capitalism etc.

Damn I wish we'll have the second arc adapted at some point.

That's a very satisfying ending! All good feels! A fun anime. Ninomiya turned everything around. Belza is his subordinate!! I wonder if Shia was in love with Ninomiya.

Reply to Swagernator
This was honestly the last time i told myself that i try to drop as less anime during a season as possible. Never again.

Its not worth the pain, the cringe, the im 15 years old level of comedy.
@Swagernator You mean all the corporate and work related jokes zero teens could ever comprehend without the experience it makes fun of...? I can see why someone wouldn't enjoy this anime, it was a bit of a mess at points, but I really don't see why would you dislike it for "immature humor" specifically. I thought it's a comedy for 30+ Japanese salarymen. Supported also by the slightly older MC (or older-appearing, I don't remember if they mentioned his age) than usual for this genre.

Just finished this in a single go. Well, I'm not really sure how I feel about it. On one hand, plenty of parts were genuinely great fun. I really liked the characters and their synergy, nobody felt like a complete comic relief or repetitive straightman. You could argue that Rim was, but her meat bit usually happened in the background, it didn't feel obnoxious. I actually really like Rim, too bad she played a rather small role.

The story was... messy. There were a couple times where the story was completely thrown away for the sake of comedy, character and relationship growth, or something like that. I have literally just finished watching, and I already struggle recalling the exact storyline. Some of the episodes also started with a little time skip, which made the feeling of inconsistency even worse. It wasn't catastrophic, but the story really wasn't the focus. Nor was worldbuilding, most of the stuff like beastiary, magic system, levelling up, ancient technology and so on was there only as a plot device. It wouldn't be so bad if the anime didn't slip up a few times and almost promise a proper isekai RPG experience, such as the next-to-last floor with fields, mountains and open sky. You could almost think it's DanMachi or something for a moment. But that's not what this is, it's a social commentary sitcom.

I'd give it a 7 probably, but I'll add one point for something peculiar that I can't put my finger on. For some reason, it felt like I'm watching certain very high-quality hentai. Does this studio make such shows too? I'm not sure why, something about the eyes and mouths, female facial expressions in general. Especially Shia. I admit, the eye candy was awesome. It wasn't exactly ecchi, but it was still kinda... you know, unnerving in a good way? I really like the female characters. No, not that female character, don't worry he's all yours, guys who like that kind of thing. I'm talking to you, Mr. investor san, you horndog.

Speaking of, once again, I have to praise the casual and non-judgemental way Japanese content deals with cross-dressers. Too bad we can't have the same thing in the west, we might have avoided this super weird situation where I see cross-dressers and shemales/ladyboys being lumped together with transsexuals with actual medical condition, making their lives and recognition ever so harder... sigh.
