I'll start out by saying that this anime isn't for people who dislike the Isekai trend in anime. I would say that it could be considered 'Isekai trash' from those who don't enjoy Isekai anime. But from someone who has found much enjoyment in them, I would have to say that it is one of the better ones. I love the characters that for the most part carry the show but I also get a bunch of enjoyment out of the show.

Story: 7, Good
The story isn't really anything special up until the end where it seems to take some kind of 180 but just ... because the story isn't that special it's relatively charming. I went into this show saying to myself "only in Japan would they make a show about a guy going to another world with a smartphone" and expecting it to be really campy but I was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't. The show took its story somewhat seriously but not too much and I found myself laughing at the outlandishness of every time the main character found some new overpowered way to function and use his magic. It was a little crazy but it was extremely fun and exciting to watch. The story never relied too much on suspense but I don't think a good story has to. The pacing is pretty good overall and it was just fun to watch it progress.

Art: 7, Good
There isn't much to say here. The art isn't bad and I'd say it is at least above average. Each character feels distinct in their art styles and as though I'd recognize them out of context and I don't think it looks too samey to other anime from the studio.

Sound: 7, Good
It is the relative same here, between the sound effects and the voice acting I never really found myself taken out of the world by it. Each voice actor does a good job at portraying their character and the sound effects in the show, while they may not stand out among other shows, are still good nonetheless and do their job which isn't something that can be said about a great number of other anime.

Character: 9, Great
I love the characters in this show. Every time I go into an Isekai show I expect some cut-out character for the MC and so far I haven't actually found that. The MC Touya having a personality of calmness, not because he is overpowered, but because that was the way he was raised, especially in the beginning scenes, stands out making you think he would have to be some kind of nice guy who is always calm. But adding the fact he is a "closet pervert" with a harem constantly surrounding him just gives him another layer that is often used for comedy but it makes him less 2-D. On top of Touya, each of the girls has their own personality (myself especially liking Sushie) that makes them shine without much overlap. Especially when considering characters like Sushie, Yumina, Leen, and Yae who have their own backstories it makes them feel real and makes you want to root for them and their own personal goals. Supporting characters like Kohaku and the King and his brother always are extremely fun to watch on screen. Characters like Alfred are extremely lovable beyond that of other supporting characters just because they exude personality.

Enjoyment: 10, Outstanding
This is the one category that I believe to be completely subjective. And I loved every moment of the show that I watched it. Character interactions, how just OP Touya is, the formation of his Harem, the cliffhanger at the end, everything was right down my alley. Maybe that's why I score this so high compared to others, it just comes down to the enjoyment of not only Isekai, but the more looked-down upon genres in anime like the harem genre. Everything just fits together perfectly for me and to somewhat go off of Nux Taku, Isekai is the perfect genre because it can literally be anything, and still be relatable because it is so easy to contextualize. On top of that, I love seeing cool characters do cool things using their powers, I enjoyed SAO and many other shows with an overpowered main character that does cool things for reasons like this.

Overall while I can see why people that dislike the idea of somewhat trashy Isekai/Harem anime, I think if you like either you will like this show.
