| I feel like the MC of this anime is jsut going to get stronger and stronger to the pointthat he's on a level of OPness like Shiba Tatsuya (irregular at Magic High) or Saitama (One Punch). The amount of titles and skills he keeps getting is insane. Anyways, besides the talk about how OP Satou is, it looks like they're still trying to introduce the rest of the main/supporting cast. I'm pretty curious as to what will happen after that, whether or not there will be a romance between Zena and Satou or if it just becomes a harem or comedy anime (or both). So far it's looking to shape up like 'In Another World With My Smartphone', which while I'm fine with, won't show any real story until after the anime has already ended (forcing you to read the light novel). |
ten said: ... I wonder when the actual age of MC will become substantial to the plot, or was it just a random thing to differentiate from other isekai shows? I'd say the only thing preventing the MC's age from being substantial to the plot is the fact that there's practically a skill for everything you wouldn't normally see in a game. So everything comes off as something anyone would think to do if they could raise the skill for it on the fly. As for the age, it's never random. Consider Youjo Senki and Overlord. Both MCs bring knowledge from their previous lives. This is no different, as the MC often references games and criticizes girls based on his preference. Now, consider In Another World With My Smartphone and KonoSuba. The MCs rely more heavily on their skills instead of previous world experience. You can see how this would overlap with Death March. Not quite sure where Shield Hero would fall, as all the heroes summoned come from different backgrounds/age groups. Probably on the skill reliant side. The only noticeable age difference I've seen in Death March would be his sexual preference. By the looks of it, Satou likes MILFs, so I can't see romance developing for any of the heroines. When you think about it, that would be considered substantial to the plot. With Youjo Senki, it's the MC's genderswap. With Overlord, it's his being undead. The other three mentioned are more generic, as the MCs are young and haven't yet developed a "strike zone." I'll throw in Word Master as a wild card that also follows this tendency. Hence, age is always substantial to the plot when it comes to interacting with the opposite gender. Now that I think about it, isekai can be separated into two more types besides transported and reincarnated. It can be separated into those who retain appearance and those who change appearance. It's the OP trait that usually remains constant. I wouldn't complain about the MC being the same in terms of personality if appearance and/or setting completely differ(s). |

| Little disappointed with this episode, felt like they clearly screwed up the pacing and quality in it. First two episodes were good but this one made me worried. I enjoyed the manga so hopefully, they will turn this around and make a respectable series out of it. |

| Imo, the only things this anime have going for it right now are the OP and ED, the latter more so than the former. It's not terrible, but it hasn't proven to me that it's more than just another isekai. I don't know why, but I just can't seem to enjoy this that much. 3/5 |
| That demon was fuckin cringy And the protagonist still talks like a stupid |
| And once again folks are mistaking an anime for a harem anime. The demon bursting out of the douchebag sure was nasty. The girls are lucky, that Satou is with them. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Pochi, Tama and Liza joins up now. The two little ones are adorable. |
| I don't read manga This episode is so good. I liked Zena and I wish if she was main character, but this new red hair girl (Liza) is even more likable than Zena |
paranoidfox said: This show is god awful. MC's "young" voice is so annoying. There's no tension and nothing to overcome... everything is too easy. MC is too OP for this to be of any interest. 1. This is just episode 3, you don't know that. 2. That's not the point of the show. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi |
| I wish they skip the magic casting voice. When a continuous magic use on battle I swear IT WILL BE ANNOYING those chanting voice like a squash squirrel. ^^; |
 |
| Another pretty solid episode and not gonna lie but I'm kind of starting to like this series. Yes I understand it's definitely somewhat generic, but there are other pretty solid aspects, mainly the whole game interface/interactions which are pretty cool. |

| The Family Harem begins! :D I've been looking forward to this since I heard about it. It should be rather refreshing to see the OPMC collecting girls to adopt as family and serve as his children, rather than serve as his erstwhile lovers and then never bother making any children. |

| @Tsugumi: If you have no complains with the story, I'd say that's enough to keep a anime only viewer watching. I can't really defend your visual complains, but as far as I've seen, the details lie with the amount of inner monologue they've allowed the MC to have. This amount usually wouldn't slide in anime unless it isn't action driven. Even then, it's possible to have no monologue at all. After seeing what little action there was thus far, I'd say that this story isn't action drive. Therefore, the quality of the animation isn't going to be on par with the more motion orientated anime. Looking at your 4 annoyances, it becomes a question of whether the LN included such detail since the manga may have taken liberties. AntiMagic Academy and Overlord are perfect examples of liberty taking on the manga front, though I'm sure there are others. However, this only covers your first 2 annoyances, as 4 was definitely the responsibility of the staff. Personally, I didn't notice till it was pointed out. It was such a short moment of action that I wouldn't complain how poorly it was executed. In most cases, the budget goes to main events. I'd wait till one of those to criticize the quality as a whole. 3 is debatable, as flow should not be visible when sipping from a container. It would be if it was waterfalled into her mouth in fear of contamination. |

| Liza is so beautiful :3. |
 |
| ok nice development I guess...I guess be get more in debt information on the slaves |
 |
| I'm glad that something finally happened. That CG demon made me laugh! |
 |
| Pacing is so damn slow I'm affraid later this show will have to go so fast from ep to ep it'd be riddiculous |
| I don't care what others say but I'm loving the shit out of this series. Maybe it's just that I love the rpg game genre and fantasy setting but it really feels great to see the mc commentating on how he should max this or that skill and all that. |
 |
| Earning titles like crazy and leveling up his minions. |
  |
| I didn't expect a lot from this anime after the first two episodes but honeslty, it's getting even worse than I expected. Half of the ep was kinda boring and the second half was supposed to have some action that I didn't get to see anyway. I'll keep watching cause it's not terrible but I'm a bit "meeeh" at the moment. Also, voice of MC really gets on my nerves, I just can't stand it everytime he opens his mouth. I'm glad I'm not the only one. |
  |
| That demon’s voice was annoying af! |
 |
| feels like alot of time being wasted in this show on setup, especially for a 12 ep show. |
| A date to being with, good start for Satou. Being able to do washing & drying with magic, that's pretty cool. The way he used those skills to detect the bad people in the crowd reminds me a lot of the Smartphone in Another World anime. Those 3 slaves were very useful here and will be good to have around, they will enjoy their new life. |

| That cart driver is the best wingman of 2018 lmao. Episode was alright, I found it more enjoyable than the last one. |
 |
| Girls are 8.5/10 but the MC has no fookin idea how games work, considering that he is game developer and a self-proclaimed gamer. |
| Acquired Title: Buffoon The show is going really good so far. The little jokes here and there and the overall feel is so heartwarming. This is basically a better Isekai Smartphone mixed with Shokugeki no Souma's food porn XD Also, am I the only guy who likes Liza more than Pochi and Tama? Also, that OST ^_^ |
 |
| All this was pretty mediocre. I mean i just cant get into it when the MC gains all these skills and can handle any new problem thats thrown at him with ease. This episode is just him that sees slaves and then helps them out and then they get transported to some maze and now they'll look for a way out. Surely we didnt need more than half the episode to cover that segment if he's so OP right? |
 |
| How can they not notice when a demon is inside human body? |
Cute neko lolis with fangs? Well this anime already won me over! |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| > 20 something year old dude winds up trapped in the world of the game he's making > guy reverts back into high school aged body > gains a stupidly high amount of exp/power after barely defeating creature/s with generic ass pull thing that shouldn't have worked. > could easily take on the 'final boss' on his own and defeat him, but won't because he doesn't think ahead like that or afraid that people will see him as just a worse guy taking out the competition when it comes to ruling the world/country > obtains a harem. This show is so generic that it physically hurts to watch. |
  |
| Apparently this series become quite better than what I thought It'll be... Not saying It's great though, but It's quite enjoyable to watch.... Still OP MC always become a big let-down for me, and the Eye-Demon makes me cringe af... Hope It turns out better in the next Episodes. |

| OOOOHHHH BOY I Don't know what but something just sort of snapped in me when they drove the carriage thing over that rock and she practically dived into the dudes lap... ROCKS DON'T DO THAT AND I REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY ARGUMENT THAT STATES OTHERWISE. Even if they solid as that rock. Also that demon thing looked horrid and sounded just as bad, in fact, that whole situation kind of sucked but I do like how the MC didn't just dive into the middle of everything, but instead decided to survey the area and all that. Anyway. I'm not liking this but I'm going to continue watching because... fury children... Thats a good enough reason right? |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |

| I'm kind of surprised this show slowly keeps getting better despite the horrid first episode. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| I was expecting the MC to be just like the MC from Isekai Smartphone but i think is that he probably doesn't know his full power. Zena was so cute in this episode. Hope he will get more badass xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| haha! so many cheats! how convenient! even the 'blacksheepwall' cheat to see the entire map! so we now have the three slaves: Liza, Tama & Pochi! those three are sure lucky to have MC on their side! 4/5. |
 |
| I got pretty bored to this city sightseeing, but laughed my ass off when I saw his titles...but now...now we are heading towards action.... labyrinth arc huh.....this might get more interesting....I like the Grancrest anime more even if it is rushed. |

| Bat-wings... Ebola alert!!!! That bat wing do quite have the stain though, what did they dip that thing in? This episode was sloppy though, Zena sudden action felt rather unnatural tbh. There wasn't much discussion to mediate the tension as some one of her status should be doing. The whole thing with Urs being a demon came out of no where. I get he used various skills to convince the locals but it all came so fast I had to rewatch the scene. The pace just jumped way too fast. |

| I'm a sucker for anime's like this. So I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. Reminds me a little bit of Dungeon ni. |
| Well I've officially decided now, this show stinks. After time was dedicated to developing the MC before sending him to the other world, I was really hoping this would be an isekai with thought put into it. Sadly, I was disappointed. The MC is overpowered and generic (as usual) and the reason behind it is incredibly contrived (as usual). Even if "Meteor" is a high level spell, having it kill a god-level boss monster is utterly ridiculous. The game mechanics, while true to what a real MMO would be like, are incredibly distracting and add nothing to the story other than to allow the MC to be OP. All the girls are falling in love with the MC for no reason (as usual). Just another trashy isekai to add to the long, long list. |
