Nah not really. I found it kinda bland.

You're better off watching A Place Further Than the Universe from this season.

For real, you can't really decide if a show is worth it or not based on others' opinions/the rating on mal. Watch a few eps if you like it, great continue otherwise congrats, you just wasted a part of your life watching "shit"

Re:Zero

bored and don't have anything else to watch, then...

Sure why not. It's not offensively bad, just a bit generic. MC has a harem of like 8 girls by episode 10 and that's definitely not the limit. At least his OP-ness was sort of explained in the very first episode.

[Edit] Also the animation is very limited compared to titles mentioned above. Aside from a few battle scenes, most of the episodes are just barely animated stills of characters. It's like even the producers thought "yeah, not gonna break the bank on that one". And the OP sucks IMO. ED is okay, though.

If things like this get 2nd season then some trash mediocre probably already announced their 3rd or 4th season.
The answer is no, It wont get 2nd season, its just average or some could argue its a trash in terms of quality but enjoyment wise that depends on each people.

on another hand, the latests episodes have been droping my interest in this anime as less and less things are happening since 2-3 episodes, while it was almost my aots before.

don't think so, but even if it does.. don't expect much. judging from how overlord & log horizon & re:zero end with more open questions than answers to the main plot, I don't think wrapping things up is the main point of isekai anime. It's more like a bait to lure people to self insert themself in that world and eventually create doujins to express their own wish "If I were the author, I'd do this and that..."

If you watched Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni and you liked it, then you will enjoy this. It is very mediocre. It does show a game screen and you can see him acquire new abilities. Harem isekai without much drama sums it up. One of the blandest MC's and that is saying a lot.

Potentially, especially when the MC manages to be a borderline godsend compared to most LN and Isekai protagonists that are overpowered such as Tstsuya from Mahouka, Tooya from Isekai wa Smartphone, etc. It may be rather perfunctory in places, but that's borderline miraculous when compared to the likes of Re:Zero and SAO, and god forbid Isekai wa Smartphone, which is a giant middle finger to the art of creativity and entertainment, and the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of LN adaptations, harems, and Isekai alike.

Plus, the MC doesn't actually have a harem, though he comes close given that out of the entire posse of girls, 2 love him unambiguously and 2 are ambiguous. Thankfully it means they avoid some of the more eye-rolling cliches such as accidental pervert beatsown, though the show can't always resist the temptations...

This is not like SAO, its a slow paced anime with barely any fights...

If you want to compare this anime to something else, it would be close to Aria The Animation or The snorefest, ops, I meant Hai to Gensou no Grimgar or even Isekai Shokudou.

Its refreshing and slow paced.

If you're looking for something like SAO, then you could try, RE:Zero, Log Horizon, No Game No Life, Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?, Accel World, .Hack and list goes on...

I'd start by saying don't even give a fuck about people who watch every epiosde then rate the show 1 and say that it was a waste of time. This one is exactly what it is from the first episode to the last. So there is no need to watch the rest if you don't like the first and the second episodes. The most important thing i believe, is that its budget is really low. You can tell from the animations but that doesn't bother me since this is more of an exploration isekai rather than an action one so it's pointless to compare to bigshots like Overlord, LogH, SAO, Re:Zero. If you like slow paced anime full of lolis go for it. Personally, one thing i can say that i didn't like was the MC voice actor. The rest is enough to enjoy the show.

I wrote a review on it, but basically the conclusion I came to was:

"I'd only recommend this series if you're super into issekai anime and you've exhausted all of the other options. Otherwise – dive into Log Horizon or Overlord before touching this series."

watched many isekais before. I'll even say it's one of my favourite genre. But this anime though was pretty much garbage. The MC obtains a new skill whenever its convernient and has absolutely no purpose in the anime.

Although for the manga, it's not as bad as the anime.

It is very poor, both in terms of plot, and character development. A meteor could have killed his entire crew, and I would feel bad that they were with him in the first place. Do not watch, it is an absolute waste of your fucking time.

In my opinion this anime looks like some kind of introduction. It miss to many things to make it "good".

It feels just like a promotion material for the original work.

So, I would be surprised if it gets a second season. It doesn't worth the time.

It's generic isekai but worse. You might get *something* out of this if isekai is your thing, but if you are looking for something cohesive or something with a point to it all you are better off looking elsewhere. As other commenters have stated you can watch one or two episodes and determine what you think from there. Absolutely nothing changes between episodes, and there is no point to anything.

As a personal recommendation I suggest avoiding this if you have any other series you want to watch first. This is one of those series that you watch when you have absolutely nothing else you want to watch or are in the mood for mindless nothingness to pass the time.

I would say that this is really good and you should watch first five episodes. This gets a bad rating because people think that it is shonen like next SAO, watch first few episodes and then complain that its bad SAO clone without getting even genre right.

There is a noticable drop in quality after episode five as the plot was extremely rushed cutting all character development, the main character motivations and selecting random scenes.(after ep 5
a camping trip and second Zen episode are only good)

After seeing first arc (first five episodes) if you like it you should read web novel which is a lot better. Watching episodes after that would be like watching recap movies without original and you would be confused as anime doesn't explain a thing.

And to answer the reason why Satou was summoned it is the main plot and isn't fully answered even in book 16. There are hints in the novel, most revealing would be temple ruin scene but anime skipped conversation there.

Basically, it's a slice-of-life isekai. If you like isekai stories like Isekai Smartphone, and stories about cute little girls like Ichigo Mashimaro, it's going to be good.
Just don't expect fast pacing or dramatic tension. It's a slice-of-life.

No, over 3000 MAL users found the anime 10/10, with the most popular score being 7/10, which corresponds to "pretty fun to watch" reasonably well.
Some edgy teenagers just have too much time on their hands to bitch about isekai anime (and anything that isn't edgy suffering-fest in general).

Yes. This show is totally worth it. It's fun and entertaining.

It's just a bit frustrating as the only option right now is HorribleSubs / official and the typesetting is really inadequate.
I hope some fansub group will pick this up and typeset it properly for the BDs.

Actually it's not that interesting, my expectations for it was great but in the end it turns out to be a downer. The art and animation is kinda meeehhh, i don't know if they had a low budget or something but come on! To start off a new year like this? I suggest watching other isekai animes like for example Kono Subarashii or Isekai wa Smartphone.
