I'm truly disappointed by studio bind. From the very first episode, the anime seems to deviate from the manga. The manga presents itself as a comedic slice of life with some wholesome and cute moments in it, sort of like lucky star or dragon maid. However, the biggest problem with this show is the fact that there's blatant and unnecessary fan service. It's uncalled for, and isn't even included in the manga. It's hard to watch the show when every minute theres a shot of mahiro's ass or tits despite there not being any in the manga.

It feels like that at any scene, the ... anime decides to purposely make it weird. It's almost as if the camera has to be from a low angle or has to focus on ass or tits. Why? This isn't what the manga is about and it really hurts to see the anime "lewd" the manga. Take the 3rd episode for example. It starts off completely normal and rather wholesomely. It follows the source material and then suddenly out of nowhere bam. Swimsuits, bikinis etc. Again why? Was this really necessary to include? Are viewers going to enjoy this show more now that there huge tits on the screen?

The animation and character design is somewhat similar to the manga, except that all of the colors are sort of "washed". The animation itself is pretty good, and I guess to some people the aesthetic is nice.

If you really want to enjoy what the show is truly about, skip the anime and read the manga.

And if you are going to watch the anime, watch it by yourself.

It started off good and then fell off a cliff. Great art and animation most of the time, but the pacing of show was awful. It's clear that the plot was dragged on in order to make this season 12 episodes when it really should have been 10. The ending was quite simply, one of the worst I've seen in a long time.

There was no reason to split up Rudeus's backstory into multiple episodes and then have to repeat the same information again and again. Furthermore, the last episode is only a setup for the next season, giving this season an unsatisfying ending and terrible ... aftertaste.

I don't understand how anyone could possibly enjoy this. From what I can see, it's simply a show with decent art and a possibly interesting start.

The main point of this show is that an unsocial high schooler gets tips and tricks from a riaju to help him become more social. The premise is really quite stupid as in real life, unsocial people wouldn't be talking with others let alone one of the most popular people in the school.

The characters in this show are somewhat unique, but they're mostly all disgusting people. Take the riaju for example. Her meeting with the main character is ... through a game called "tackfam" or essentially a rip off of super smash where she's rated 2nd in the game while the mc is 1st. To me, her real reason of meeting him is to find someone that's better than her and I'm assuming to date or hang out with. Unfortunately for her, she meets the mc, an unsocial guy in her class, and some of her first few words to him are just insults.

What is her problem? I'm not really sure, but she clearly believes that he's failed in the game of life. She's utterly disappointed that the only person that she found that was better than her was a quitter and basically a loser. The fact that you only respect people better than you is absolutely disgusting.

She accuses the mc of quitting in the game of life and that he's not a "gamer" and the mc is forced to either accept that he's a loser or get better in the game of life. However, there's nothing wrong with quitting. If you're doing drugs and someone explained that you're a quitter for quitting drugs, is there something wrong with that? She then decides to help him win in life. Why? There's really no reason for you to help him out at all, but one possibility is that you're improving him to date him.

She goes on to create a set of goals to help him improve, and one of them specifically is to get a girlfriend. Dating someone for the sake of achieving a goal is honestly really disgusting. You're toying with other people's feelings to simply feel good about achieving your goal and not to nurture the relationship. She clearly doesn't care about other people, yet other people view her as a goddess.

Another thing she recommends the mc to do is to memorize conversation topics. Yes. Memorize conversation topics. Does anyone actually do this because if they do, they definitely have some serious problems. Additionally, she tells him to start a conversation with a female. As someone with few friends in real life, I can confidently say that it's nearly impossible for me to do so and it will certainly be awkward. However, the mc feels practically nothing. While it is awkward, he breezes past it like doing so is normal. He doesn't even have a fml moment and acts like nothing happened.

The mediocre plot and the appalling characters make this show an absolute wash. While a few moments are nice and some characters are waifu material, I don't think they can save the show.

3/10

This is mediocre at best.

Like many others, I picked this up because it was isekai so it's pretty much an obligation to watch even if it's complete trash, and this show did not disappoint.

At first the story was pretty interesting. Being stuck in a game playing as the main character isn't original, but the twist the author puts in makes it pretty good. Unfortunately, it quickly turns into a harem of guys and girls all going for the mc.

The show is ridiculously boring and there aren't any really good reasons to watch it. The animation and sound quality are good, but the characters ... are bad. The mc is really outgoing and is willing to help others which is fine and all, but as someone who has already played the game, she acts like a complete dumbass

[spoilers]

She just casually steals scenes from other characters and "remembers" them like she had forgotten or something. huh? She does a bunch of random things to try to escape her "doom" which clearly isn't going to happen. Everyone around her is practically screaming I love you but no she's even worse than a dense male mc in a harem.
