I'm almost going straight to the point why I absolutely can't stand this anime and why I really, really don't recommend this at all.
I enjoyed this anime as the ecchi harem it was the first 10 episodes, not taking itself very seriously and just being quite goofy with its characters. But suddenly it decides that it wants to have this big serious story all of a sudden, where it takes a RIDICULOUSLY dark tone. There's nothing wrong with sudden changes like this, some of my favorite stories have done this type of sudden tonal shift. But this one, it messes up basically everything in the
...
span of a single episode by creating massive contradictions and horrid character writing.
Early on we're very specifically told that it isn't possible to use magic to resurrect people, so this puts the stakes somewhat high for a magical isekai world. This doesn't really matter for 10 episodes. But episode 11, we end up getting the most ridiculous and painful torture scene I have ever seen. It is to the point where literally anyone would look at the victim, who is in an entire room covered in their own blood with a lot of stakes sticking out of them, and say "yep, they're 100% dead". But no, this anime decided that they are in fact, not dead. That in fact, a potion is enough to heal them, even though they basically stopped breathing for a very long time. This torture scene happens so suddenly, and it is so grotesque and agonizingly long, that it completely removed all and every enjoyment I had of what should've been a silly isekai harem.
BUT, I'm not done yet with the absolute retardation of the character writing. We get to know this one girl, who seems innocent, but of course is the biggest sadist ever and a mass murderer of civilians, to the point you could call what she does ethnical cleansing. She's seemingly some leader in a cult, dead set on summoning something which basically entails the end of everyone, and to summon that, she has tortured and killed THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. So with this in mind, you might wonder, this person is just a terrible villain who's probably going to get punished heavily and killed by the end. BUT NO, how can you be so foolish to think that? This absolute unit is going to get a redemption arc! All of the people she tortured and murdered? Yeah, all will be resolved in a grand redemption!... Actually, no, she just says that she regrets what she's done and apparently all is fine, even by the person that got tortured nearly to death. And then she's also a part of the growing harem in this anime. No joke, the mass torturing villain becomes a part of the harem and episode 12 ends up with literally every girl in the harem taking all their clothes off and smothers the isekai protagonist in lots of oppai. Of course this isn't rated R+ so don't get your hopes up.
It has been a while since I've watched this, but I had to write a review because I have never seen any piece of media going from a solid 8/10 down to a 0/10 in a single episode. And that's the only reason my final score isn't a 1, it's just fine until it's not. For the love of god, if you want to watch this anime, skip episode 12 and 11, maybe even 10 for that matter as it does build up to the garbage ending. Or just don't watch it at all. I would rather watch a vending machine isekai than watch this pure garbage.
