Every day she plays video games, pigs out on snacks, and pets her beloved cat. But this blissful existence is turned into a confusing mess when a magical creature transports her to an altered reality bereft of her favorite things. Now she’s stuck with hot guys instead! How can she possibly survive in such an awful world?! Anzu must play along in this altered reality before she can return to her normal life, so she begrudgingly makes friends with Tsukasa Kazuki. He unfortunately happens to be one of the hottest and most popular guys at school, and what’s worse, she realizes that he might not even be that bad of a person!

| Honestly, it appears to be a good show, but hopefully the 3D won't ruin the experience. |
  |
| Animation doesn't look good. |
ZXEAN said: eh, it looks aight. It's a rom-com it doesn't need to be a sakuga fest. As long as it's directed well enough and the comedy is good it should be fine.Animation doesn't look good. |

| Everything that's got netflix logo in it makes me cautious and have Zero expectation. |
| It's Morbin' Time! |
| Oh god Takahashi Rei is everywhere lol. Though Netflix partnering with a third rate studio.. no need to say any further. |
 |
| netflix logo there so no thank you |
| Great! I hope that all the manga will be adapted, it was fully released. |
 |
| Hmm looks okay I guess |
| It's such a subtle satire on reverse harems, right? |
 |
| This looks decent enough. I just saw the PV and thought I'd like it maybe. ZXEAN said: Well damn, it's going down the drain then lol.DatRandomDude said: Director's track record isn't that good either. Let's see although I have 0 expectation for this show.eh, it looks aight.

| More Rie Takahashi anime :D It's a reverse harem anime D: Well as much as I like Rieri, this already went out of my radar. |
ZXEAN said: not sure what's your definition of animation but this PV looks quite fine in terms of thatAnimation doesn't look good. |
nwssx said: U like it. That's great 😃.ZXEAN said: not sure what's your definition of animation but this PV looks quite fine in terms of thatAnimation doesn't look good. |
| I like the design of main girl. Gonna watch. |
 |
| The animation didn't look that good, but maybe it'll still pan out to be a decent watch regardless of the visuals |
| Another anime produced by Netflix, they haven't actually produced that much stuff by themselves in the past, so I'm curious to see how this will turn out. The studio doesn't seem to be anything special either. |
 |
| It will be ONA series. |

| ...huh... more from TWEWY's anime director and studio............ ooh boy... *sigh* What disturbs me far more than that though is that Viz Media is licensing the original Romantic Killer manga in America under their Shojo Beat line... when this manga was actually from Shounen Jump+... Okay, sure, they did make other weird decisions like putting Arina Tanemura's latest manga Idol Dreams under Shoujo Beat when its source magazine is a shoujo/josei hybrid target demographic, putting the shoujo series Children of the Whales under their Viz Signature imprint, which is usually reserved for seinen titles like Monster, printing stuff like Honey and Clover and Socrates in Love under Shojo Beat when they're both josei, but... marketing a shounen manga as a shoujo manga is something else... this is just straight-up false advertising...... edit: forgot to mention HachiKuro and SekaChu |

| Feels pretty last second, but I'm always up for ore Jump+ adaptions. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Another one of those otome game type of anime, prolly not gonna watch. |
 |
| ohhh romance reverse harem otome isekai? but its shounen? bit surprised since these are usually hardcore shoujo/josei but aight! ill tune in for a bit |
| Oh, I just watched the trailer for this the other day. It seems alright, I might give it a try. Harems just tend to give me anxiety because I invest so much time for the possibility of the ship I like not going through in the end, lol. Maybe I'll just wait until it's over first. Either way, the main girl's design is awesome, so that's a win. |
| I mean sure the visuals look average at best but what I'm most curious about is who will this girl end up being with :P |
