| Heh, not going to lie, I'm going to have to get used to the characters' eyes in this show. First episode had more action than I had expected but also dating sim tropes, especially in the opening minutes. We got a few characters introduced but eye are mostly on Leon for now. I have to admit, he's actually a tough guy despite the big change in his life that went down in the first episode. Not bad actually. I'm entertained. |

| So this is Hamefura, only if reverse-harem-ed to death with the Isekai reincarnation tropes. Also, despite being a LN adaptation, it's faithful to the manga version as well, minus the shortcuts. Kashitarou Itou's songs have always been spectacular, and this follows up with the OP. Same with Riko Azuna's ED. Being forced to play an Otome Game by your idiotic dear sister to clear it, and to get ridiculed by in-game characters, that's such a lowblow. And this is the case for MC Leon Fou Bartfort who died in the real world after playing a streak game to completion. And of course, being in a nobles-commoner situation, the unnamed brother is Isekai-ed into the Otome Game world, only to live in that game as a background (or mob) character. So think Catarina Claes but with a goal and objective to match, and on the commoner side of things. Re-routing the Otome Game's sequence of events to survive just like how he conquered the game, everything is as Leon remembered with a few surprises here and there. Being close to extermination from a sentry robot explaining this "New Humans" plot to exterminate those with magic, Leon is a mix of Old and New, just wanting to take what's his. With his rebirth, Leon's ready to take over the world with his load of treasure and wealth with shrewdness, starting from the very academy that he hated, and let the mob character disrupt the way he knows how. With studio ENGI on board, this is looking to be like Full Dive, so I have some expectations for this one. |

| First things first, the OP and ED are pretty good, one of the best so far in Spring 2022! But my first and expected impression, what the fuck are those eyes? also don't get me wrong I had this moment with other animes too and the character design in this looks goddamn awful just by the appearance but honestly that's expected in any of those type of anime so I can't really blame to whoever implemented that part so gotta grew up with it :/ Anyways the dating sim part is an interesting premise and my man Leon is very addicted to this type of game and he even got huge eyebags, how relatable as to those living otakus out there. For the most part though I'm quite intrigued with the gaming and action oriented aspect plus I kinda really want the direction to where they used more of a first person perspective for the Leon guy more often because it kinda looks cool in the beginning ngl but overall the adventuring part is pretty interesting, also the fight between the robot was pretty much a nice highlight episode for me. Not a bad first episode I can't wait for ENGI to pull up another the detective is already dead shenanigans and it got potential yeah. |

| Sorry, but the eyes still bother me even when seeing animated. I applaud their attempt to keep the mecha scenes in 2D as much as possible, but it was all for nothing if they destroy the character designs like that |
| Don't read source material, but this one feels like a standard ENGI adaptation: extremely cheap visuals, laughable direction and boring storyline. Dropped after 5 minutes |

Dropped after 5 minutes You seem like a troll that has nothing to add to this discussion, especially since you dropped it after 5 mins. I enjoyed the first episode myself, the animation seems a little sub par, but enjoyed the plot so far. |

| good eps 1, i don't have the problem with the animation or character design even the eyes design sometimes make me sick but i like the story. |

| they went with the premise that nothing makes sense and it looks like it's gonna continue in that way only. I'm gonna keep watching |
| That was... "interesting" |

| if anyone wanted to read similar plot like this anime, there was manga and webnovel title "Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess no Matter What!" Plot "Allen, an eight-year-old boy from a poor family in the royal capital, is living a poor but happy life together with his mother. One day, however, memories of his previous life suddenly come back to him and he remembers that he is in an Otome dating sim game and that the capital will be destroyed by war if he doesn't do something about it. If this continues, both he and his mother will be killed! With a sense of urgency, he decides to rise to the occasion in order to save his precious mother's life and save his favorite character, the villainous young lady Anastasia, the only girl he liked in the game, from her all too tragic and ruinous end. This is the story of a man who isn't even a character in the game, but who strives with his steely determination and uses all the knowledge he has to turn overcome fate!  |
| Mmm, the mix of fantasy, harem and sci-fi elements presented in here is very interesting, I wanna see more of it, I don't really mind the character desing. Crossing my fingers ENGI won't screw it up. |
 |
| Character designs are mostly fine. People freak out over the smallest things as always. It's interesting that the show is openly saying the setting makes no sense. Gotta love it xD. Not sure I like the MC, but it teetered along that line this episode: I don't hate him or anything. I think if they tip toe that line without becoming annoying cynical, he'll turn out alright. Animation was pretty decent and the absurd setting led to some cool scenes already. Info dump wasn't too bad either, and the ED was actually a bop! Liking this so far at least. |
| Well, truck-kun seems like he's off-duty for some time. Man gets isekai'd straight into the one world he absolutely hates, and by his own words a world with totally unreasonable settings. Would be interesting to see how his experience from finishing the game would aid him through this life. A decent start I guess. |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| The episode was good actually. At least better than expected. I thought it would be way worse after watching the trailer. Of course the character designs are unacceptable. But everything else is fairly good. |
| Nice episode.The animation was ok in my opinion but the eyes are awful.Apart from that the everything was good in this episode. The story is good so if the anime maintains this quality this will be a good adaptation. We got introduced to Leon this episode and how he got Luxion.Also his adventure was shown.Finally we are beginning Academy next episode. |
 |
| Imagine your sister is blackmailing you into playing an otome game? 😅 The way he died on the way to the convenience store after playing till exhaustion was also hilariously dumb. Seriously, it feels like these isekai authors have too much fun outdoing each other when it comes to their set up scenarios. Ok start. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| #1 rule: Do not base your impression on pilot episode. |
 |
| especially when the studio is ENGI |
 |
| I mean the first episode of anime ENGI produced: The Detective is Already Dead was also pretty good, but then it went downhill after that for the next 11 episodes. So i still don't want to put higher expectation on this yet, at least for now.. |

But everything else is fairly good. Yep, I'm agree.. Eventhough isn't it a bit rushed at the part when Leon was talking to Luxion at the first time? But it still acceptable tho.. everything except the chara design.. Though maybe we'll get used to it after few episodes more.. Just if ENGI can mantain the plot progression and everything will be fine i guess? |
| People are complaining about the eyes/animation; excuse me we had 2 trailers showing what the show would look like. I'll give this show the three episode rule, if I don't like it I'll read more of the manga. Hopefully our main character isn't going to be constantly screaming "all men are kings, women trash." I want this to be good, I've heard good things about the manga and the first few chapters impressed me. |
| Little too similar to Bakarina for me, but not a bad start |
| Studio ENGI.... Ok so I think Detective is already Dead was a shit story to begin with and the studio screwing it up didn't help much. Otome Game's source material is a fun read as is and shitty character designs, and probably pacing can only mess it up so much. I think most people will look past it and enjoy the series. |
| interesting anime, not an ordinary isekai tbh lmao |
| Alright so trapped in a dating sim is actually pretty original, assuming it stays like this. Instead of being the center of the harem,being a mob is a pretty unique take on the Otome genre, hopefully it stays good. |
 |
| I hope next ep does smth not to keep it bad... Is this for male audience too...? sighs |
