It's okay if y'all said this was generic isekai trash now, but at least try to watch 3-4 eps first

This is a show where I watch for 20min casual enjoyment. As of episode 4, it's going well.

The pace is good, characters are not annoying, setting is normal and understandable.

Game Master's look annoy me though. The generic 3D Max preset male body, where the texture is just 3 Photoshop brush mark on the mesh.

People misuse the term generic.

Generic "gets the job done" wheter it's a spare part for your car that's cheaper than OEM parts, or a burger to fill your belly you bought at some random food truck rather than at a big food franchise.

That said, this is below generic, it's so piss poorly joined with both terrible animation along with sappy edgy storytelling of random characters meeting to finally beat a giant lizard that will eventually invade Japan because of a jester with brain damage said so.

I'd wish this was an actual parody on the oversaturated isekai market, but it just feels like a phone novel writen by some edgy teenager to prove himself that anyone can get their shit published and adapted into a TV series.

You've got th generic meaning completely wrong.The real meaning would be 'something that has been done before' meaning that this type of story has already been told in other anime.

Hyaku Man is alright. There are some good scenes and I enjoy the humour. That's about it tho. The animation is horrible, but I've seen worse.

Even though all the 3 you named are good by themselves, personally they are not even in the same ballpark together.
And no, up till now 100-man is not even as good as log horizon, let alone yuusha or slime isekai. There is a reason why alot of people give reviews based on different categories like art, animation, audio/songs/plot etc...

HOWEVER.
People really do hold up double standards. I.e. the animation of 100-man really isnt much worse than subarashii, which still scores off the charts.

I agree with you on most other things though. This is a very solid anime, alot better than the trash we have seen lately, or the generic isekai.
The story, plot and premise are all interesting. And everyone should always give anime some episodes a chance.
Episode 5-6 have been really good.
I would give this series up till now a 7 which might grow into a 7.5
The series definitely is not a low 6

I think there's a misunderstandig xD I was merely quoting the OP.

I already dropped this anime since it isn't for me.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Ah yes my apologies, I accidentally quoted you, this was meant for the OP

On a different note, what was wrong with OP 914-15, I quickly looked at them again out of curiousity, but... Kaido vs Luffy a mistake?

another good anime paying the isekai tax rip. I never trust MAL for any Isekai anime rating. The people in any anime community are pretty questionable, so I really don't trust many of the review scores here. Also, a lot of review scores a heavily weighted towards animation and music/sound, and not actually story. You can take a look at jujutsu kaisen. Story is complete junk, very generic, but animation and sound is pretty good. This story is better than jujutsu, but it lacks in animation/sound department.

Best to just watch the anime yourself based on plot summary, title, tags, etc, and continue watching if it's good.

Yeah. It is a bit weird. Generic shounen like Jujutsu Kaisen gets high scores. Iskai with annoying main chars like Re:zero ... get high scores. (Probably because of the "waifus".)

This one is pretty low. Though it has an interesting setup and seems pretty normal with the chars. (Not too annoying.)

I would compare it to the Nakanohito Genome anime. That one had a similar setup. (The chars got quests from some weird guy.) Just that that one had been a bit more annoying. (Less interesting.)

I at least had expected thise one here to get about 6.9-7.2 somewhere to show that it is better than Nakanohito Genome. (Which it easily is.)

I watched 6 episodes, and it's quite a dry experience imo. A 5 is what I rate it, dropping it now though. There's not a lot of action but it doesn't seem this show was going for that. The slow kind of buildup its aiming for with characters changing over time and improving isn't an effective method for garnering interest when the world they inhabit is bland. The art and music lacks a personal style; I simply can't see why someone would want to watch this over something similar but better like Grimgar. I think the execution of story/plot would have been better if it was another power fantasy.

they haven't even explain about the world yet actually, and I think isekai is the best execution of this concept because each quest are based on real life problem, and the way the culture developed in that world is also similar to rl. Ah it's hard for me to explain tho, not forcing you to still watch the anime but you could read the manga if you had free time

people who watch till 8 probably wouldn't drop it anymore since it's close to the end, dropping is supposed to be done in the 1st 2-3 episodes, after noticing you don't like the story/art/characters :D

Watched the first four episode and thought this could be a non-generic isekai and hoped a lot. Kept until Episode 6 where I dropped it for being incredibly generic, boring and dull. Also the blue haired girl and the new sword character dragged the show to the bottom. Yotsuya and Shindou were fairly nice characters, but are now in the middle of a bad anime

The problem isn't that it's a boring generic isekai in the manga. The problem is that the anime adaptation takes all of the soul which helps to make the manga interesting and make it not so and turns it into something which is. I had been kind of looking forward to seeing this adapted. I wasn't expecting a masterwork but I had been expecting something decent.

This anime... Has been underwhelming on every single level. Taking it on its own it's not worth watching. Were I to have watched it without having read the manga I'd have dropped it on the first episode, given it the 2 I've presently given it and been right from the get go. Now I've watched 10 episodes and I'll finish it because I have.

All I can say is that this is a garbage adaptation of a decent manga series and I hate it.

Well as someone said 3 useless girls and one edgy main dude, why is it that Japanese authors love edgy male protagonists can't we get a normal dude with no baggage geez also yeah animation is poor some action scenes look a bit weird like its missing a frame or something and that cgi game master doesn't do it for also the jokes aren't funny whats up with these lame jokes, this is me and my opinion but I think Japan should stop giving every random series an anime just for the sake of having anime airing on TV, they should really look for series that are making good waves in popularity or sales i for one don't think the source material for this is even that popular in Japan nor those it make high sale volumes

I saw it until chapter 7 and I left it because it bored me too much, if I wanted to continue I would read the manga because anime is very bad in my opinion.

But can someone confirm to me if the manga is worth reading?

Some old Mangas probably but I've never seen a manga within 2000-2021 get a anime maybe I can't remember which one but I know very old Mangas that ended years ago can get an adaptation and some even gets a remake version like hunterxhunter and ushino and tora etc

Not sure myself but I will try the manga after I finish the anime just to see if the manga is indeed different from the way the anime handled things, I am at episode 10 i am hoping to finish this by tonight but I see world trigger s2 is out so i might watch that before I finish this

Good point but then again its highly likely because of its magazine, the magazine chainsaw man is from has lots of influence and power in the anime and manga world so I'm not surprised give me another one outside of a giant magazine which houses adaptation after adaptation of its series

It gave off serious Konosuba vibes.
I personally loved it with imperfect cast full of oddballs and misfits, which grow over as person over the course of the story. With a little bit more of production value and budget, it could be a masterpiece.

I'll defend this trash as hard as SAO fanboys try to defend their garbage.

The animation is pretty ass but everything else is very solid.

Story actually has some sort of logic and the main characters actually act rationally and talk like actual human beings. The music is excellent and easy to listen to.

Looking forward to the 2nd season.

I dont understand all the hate either... the story is pretty interesting. Ok it might lack a little when it comes to character development and it could be more interesting if it had more/deeper cliffhangers, but I think it got better towards the end of the season. Definitely better than the current rating (6.43).

I just binge watched season 1 and saw the rating of 6.4 here.
The hell is wrong with the people here ? The show is great.
At least season 2 will most likely get a better score cuz all the haters are out of the equation.

The internet has fallen into mobs and bots...rating systems and opinion blogs are all compromised...sad.

If it had a different studio then probably. I want to believe in it, but at the same time, it shows little to no potential in terms of production value. Another main problem is that the characters aren’t interesting in anyway (except for Yuusuke and maybe Game Master). I used to think that this show was the pinnacle of isekai trash, but oh how wrong I was (Full Dive from spring 2021 is just shittier SAO).

It's sad that this anime rating got plummeled only because of 'isekai' label. This is actually somewhat interesting in my opinion.

Regarding of animation, art etc. Honestly it's pretty good for rather 'unknown studio' a.k.a new studio like Maho Film. You high standard that usually used on 'popular/big studio can't really applied here.

You can't be serious, the animation is honestly one of the worst this year, Hentai Studios can do better, it was definitely a rushed adaption.

I don't mind this show, but the MC is the only interesting thing about the show.
