the MC face/looks/design and personality is plain even his outfit is plain

the story is easily predictable i really laugh hard every time i manage to guess what will happen making me really enjoy it

the Cliche scenes really made me grin so much

the MC so OP i want to see what he can do next and what's gonna benefit him later...

it's so obvious that's making me wait/want to watch the next episode

i understand some people hate this anime that myself 2 years ago will definitely stop watching this anime after ep 1

i guess im different now... instead of complaining or being choosy

what matter to me if i enjoy it or not

if i don't enjoy a show i don't bitch about it saying it's trash or something

i just stop watching it then move on

That's great if you enjoy it, but if people have an opposing opinion, they're going to want to share it.

I'm highly enjoying the show myself. It's one of those animes I can't wait to watch asap of this season. This latest episode is what I was waiting on ever since it was brought up in the first episode I think, the slimes! I'm hoping they'll do more adventuring too since I love fantasy settings.

If you want plot then watch a show with one.
really, your expectations are too high. It might have been watchable if he only got the smartphone and not the OP powers.

Yeah, if you reasonably expect something and are disappointed, that might be worth a complaint. Dramatic tension? Interesting characters with personality? But is it even reasonable to expect those things? Looking at the page before the season began, I certainly didn't. It looked like the most heart-on-sleeve generic self-insert vapid wish-fulfillment show possible, which is what it is. Pointing that out is worth a short single post at most. It's like any replies to this post saying "TL;DR" - uh, yeah, I knew it was tl;dr while I was writing it, and it's obviously tl;dr to anyone who glances at it.

"He travels around nonchalantly while possessing powers that rival this world's kings." That's honest advertising, isn't it? Shall we blame them for writing "rival" rather than "far exceed?"

I welcome a relaxed slice-of-life show in a fantasy setting. Maybe people want slice of life to give them a deep emotional experience, like Aria or Barakamon. That has its place, but most of the SoL I like is merely fun and relaxing. This show is fun and relaxing. That's all it needs to be.

It gets worse when people say "The MC is a Gary Stu, and of course everyone with good taste agrees that those are bad and should not exist." I don't agree. (Granted, I don't have "good taste," either, but thankfully the business of television doesn't sell to "good taste.") In the fights over Star Wars' Rey, whom I absolutely loved as MC, the best argument against her was "I couldn't relate to her because she was too powerful." That's unfortunate for you, but I'd rather not have my fiction restrained by the limits of what other people can relate to.

"Even if Rey were a too-perfect, too-talented, unbelievable portrayal, maybe that’s okay. There’s room for some self-indulgent female fantasies after decades of being forced to sit at the kids’ table." https://medium.com/@wewillbethestars/rey-isn-t-a-mary-sue-and-it-s-time-to-retire-the-term-7fb2d9e672de

I can add another layer to the common expressions from others of surprise over their own enjoyment of Smartphone: I looked at the poster and thought, "Look at this harem boy smiling in his pimp coat. He looks so annoying." But in the show, he isn't annoying at all, amazingly.

The worst are probably the Konosuba comparisons. I actually saw a review that tried to make a point by saying "Konosuba parodied shows like this," the implication being that therefore shows like this are over and should not exist. Konosuba was great in its own way, but take these movies for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Friedberg_and_Aaron_Seltzer#Filmography They all "parody" popular films, while being inferior trash themselves. Same with "Re:Zero subverted this;" so what? Should girls in all shows stop making deals with magical animals in the wake of Kyuubei?

I found a comment I wrote about Konosuba back in February:

"Why does that show get such heartwarming EDs? I like it, but it makes me feel bad about the characters' messed up relationships."

Now, Smartphone is still a little messed up because of the polygyny thing, and I didn't welcome the slime scene because unlike in Konosuba, these girls had done nothing to deserve that. But overall, I feel better toward it than toward Konosuba. The ending of the first Konosuba OVA really encapsulates that situation, and it's both hilarious and sad.

Right, but... is anything in this show really meaningful? :D

I wish the show were actually called something like "Jesus-kun Densetsu," I mean, the dark forces behind it already had the balls to ignore every rule of what fiction supposedly needs to be enjoyable.

I think I've written about this show more than any other except SDF Macross and Rose of Versailles. I figured it'd be amusing to "Adopt a Dumpster Fire" and take it up as a cause to champion.

I cant even believe why people would compare this trash to Konosuba. Like why?! They have nothing in common! The MC is nothing compare to that hilarious bastard Kazuma. Died by mistake, sent to fantasy world, and he's OP for no reason at all.

Because Insecurities.
Apparently it becoming a trend to compare anime.

I found the anime is quite average to good.
Its almost like Dog Days except Dog days have better quality in terms of VA an Art.

At least the story doesnt felt dragging and most episode i found enjoyable without pushing fanservice scene too much.

We'll get more sequel to any of the anime if people start to appreciate abit and stop comparing it.
Unless its really shit and the studio barely trying to attract people.

Program "when I touch my phone, cast multiple light spears raining on all targets" end program. MC touch his phone and wipe the field of samurais. I was like wtf talking about OP. This is one anime where you do not want to be the villians. At least in other animes you get to torture the MC and his friends for a while b4 getting defeated. Aside from this sillyness, the girls are cutes and definitely a favorite among harem fans.

I'm up to episode 6 of the dub. It's... I wish this show had more upskirt panty shots, but hey.

I've seen this show compared to Mondai-tachi, Subarashii, and Re: Zero.

* It's like Mondai-tachi, but the OP shounen lead in Smartphone isn't a jerk.
* Subarashii's Kazuma is even worse. He's also a pervert and a 'punching bag for animu lols."
* Re: Zero is just depressing as hell. And while that and Subarashii are popular animu, not everyone has the stomach for shows like them.

I, for one, want my anime to not be "bottom-of-the-barrel-tier" and depressing. Since the companies that make them scream at us to "Support The Industry" and what not. AND Funi just said that they're not doing it for free. Atleast those of us that want "something else" now have a choice.
