Basically a seinen isekai. Work exploitation themes are probably not going to make laugh a typical 13 years old audience, but for those who can relate there's plenty to enjoy in this show.

Instead of a loser bland MC that gets a harem just by breathing, here you get a character with questionable work ethics trying to rise in a capitalist savage world.

You can almost tell the author has seen some serious stuff as you most likely can't write such on-point satire without having experienced it closely yourself.

Animation itself is nice, the characters have funny personalities and the voice actors did an awesome job, Wanibe in ... particular was great.

Both the opening and ending sonds are absolute bangers. The ending lyrics fit almost perfectly the story. Honorable mention to the special ending sequence with a coreography that is reminiscent to that Fujiwara dance from Kaguya sama.

Overall, the adult themes make this show feel like a refreshing change from the typical generic isekai and I hope to see more of this in the future.

An enjoyable isekai that makes you think of the good aspects of other shows. Imagine the comedy style of Konosuba, world building of Slime (on speedrun), power fantasy like Overlord, and a bit of dark aspects like Re:Zero.

The MC has a meme harem with a couple of waifus that have unique and quirky personalities. The plot progresses rapidly and the world is established quickly. Supporting characters are added to the story without having to wait a full "arc" on them.

Production wise, the animation has good quality, the art style is nice, the character designs feel unique and you can perceive the artists put a lot ... of attention to details. OP and ED songs fit the show nicely as well.

If I had to be nit-picky, my only grips with the show were that the running gag of the MC considering himself "unlucky" (in a world where he's basically revered as a god) dragged for too long and perhaps that the dark aspects could have been explored deeper. Maybe next season?

Overall, despite using tropes that we've seen before, it still managed to feel refreshing by combining them in an original way. It seems to take the nice aspects of those tropes, while leaving outside the boring and cringe low quality features we're sadly given constantly in seasonal shows (like bland MCs, harem-filler dull waifus, pedo pandering content, etc).

Looking forward to next season!

A reminder that a waifu character alone is not enough to carry a show, especially if she's already dead. This is a Frankenstein anime made of a convoluted mix of tropes: harem, mechas, tentacles, werewolves, aliens, terrorists, you name it.

This anime did everything it could to call attention to it: white-haired waifu bait, a few seconds of high quality animation in episode 1, vtubers cameos, character designs that look stolen from 'Date a Live' and harem merchandise marketing, but after it got the attention it wanted, it was an utterly disappointment since it didn't have anything to stand on its own.

The "mystery" consist of characters ... saying that they "knew it all along" without providing any logic explanation to the viewer. The "comedy" consist of cringe "quippy" lines from the male MC, who is a middle schooler that somehow looks and acts like a salary man and doesn't change physically despite going through 4 years of puberty.

Characters are devoid of personality and sometimes even their basic reason for existing in the story is not clear. Female characters are harem fillers, enemy characters are dumber than a videogame set on "super easy" mode and the overall plot is full of contrived and absurd developments.

This anime may be a good watch for those who want to analyze a case study on "how not to write a story".

Repetitive and unimaginative. Episodes feel the same and jokes get old quickly. The story has no depth and characters are simple archetypes that sadly don't have much originality to offer.

Animation itself is just fine, nothing out of ordinary as expected for this type of show. Not much to say about sound either, op song is catchy although I would put the ed song in the "for hyperactive kids" category.

Other than watching the overused trope of "looks like a child but it's actually a hundreds years old demon" with bondage-like clothes and having her pants fall whenever she shrinks, I don't see what else can a ... show like this offer to justify a 20 episodes run.

Hopefully it will get better in the future, but I won't be the one spending time to find out.

I enjoyed every single episode of this season. Humour is great, animation was TOP NOTCH when it needed to be, the story and art style feel really original and refreshing, characters are likeable, sometimes even more than the MC. OP and ED songs may not have been as catchy as the previous season, but they still fit the show pretty well.

With plenty of moments filled with laughs from funny absurdity, to serious atmosphere, to action scenes, to romantic moments with the potential of unleashing waifu wars in forums, both young and veteran viewers will surely find something to enjoy in this show.

You can almost feel ... the love people from the studio put into making this when you start noticing even little details like those changing 'easter eggs' in the op and ed songs throughout the anime.

For a shounen anime, this one gets a 10/10 from me.

We've seen this before: a loser adult man gets isekai'd and builds a loli harem. But is there more to it? As it turns out: no, that's all there is.

Even trying to ignore the questionable fanservice and the obsessing over little girls, thinking that "maybe there's a decent story behind all this", it ends up being just a waste of time.

Characters are as bland as they get. Not even Kazuma's voice actor could make the MC interesting. Episodes feature generic plots while slowly increasing the size of the pharmacist's harem over time.

Character designs are mediocre, most of the effort seems to have gone into designing ... bloomer panties and empty personalities that fawn over the MC.

Animation itself is nothing to write home about. It works decently along with the soundtracks.

Overall, the generic escapist fantasy of a loser man that is suddenly loved by everyone in an imaginary world coud be decent when done right, but with such a lack of substance in this case where you even question whether this is an isekai or not, even fans of generic isekai might find this one to be too much of a letdown.

A story that had potential but was dragged down badly by the low quality animation.

It's very difficult to present a credible romance story with emotionless CGI faces that can hardly convey expressions. The maid seems more like a sci-fi sex robot than a human.

In terms of romance, nothing is really developed. The story begins with the main couple already being in love, so the audience is expected to fill in the blanks from the past at this point.

This Master-Servant relationship wasn't written exactly as wholesome as you would expect, since the maid simps for the boy for no reason while he treats her as a ... simple servant (instead of an equal), for example ordering her to go do some chores when he's annoyed by her close presence. Or after she gives him some heartfelt love words, all he has to reply is "ok, now I feel like having dinner" lol. He also has her living in what appears to be some small wooden barn outside his mansion... is that how you treat someone you want to marry?

Most of the fanservice and comedy is based on situations where the maid and side characters are at constant risk of dying by acting careless around the cursed boy and almost touching him. Not exactly funny, it simply comes off as being dumb (either that, or the characters have some weird death wish fetish).

The maid blue-balling the boy with her sexual advances also gets old after a while.

Sound and music are decent, so not everything is bad in terms of production value.

Overall it's a show with several flaws in the story with the slow robotic expressionless faces making it hard to overlook them.

This anime feels like watching Pepé Le Pew from Looney Tunes, but with the kitten falling in love with the skunk for no reason.

In one line, it's a show trying hard to romanticize sexual harassment.

This is the story of a creepy grown ass man romantically pursuing a high school girl by stalking, harassing and gaslighting her. His obsession starts by the simple fact that the girl apparently has been the only non-shallow woman he has met that rejected his creepy advances, so he immediately sets on a mission to conquer her whether she likes it or not.

Even though the MC girl already told him to ... stop and that she's uncomfortable with the unwelcome attention, the male MC still continued relentlessly after that. Some of the creep's actions include: multiple unsolicited phone calls even late at night, sending unwanted gifts, pressuring for dating, touching the girl while she was sick sleeping, etc.

The second harasser is the male MC's sister, who acts as a plot device supporting her creep brother and providing him with all kinds of intel info on her "friend" and setting up convenient scenarios so he can prey on the MC girl easier (e.g. literally gave out her friend's home address since episode 1, brought the brother's gifts to school, tricked her into giving out her phone number, schemed all kinds of settings to facilitate their encounters so they would appear as "coincidences", etc).

There are even more red flags when observing the male MC character's behavior that provides a clear view on the kind of toxic relationship he's pursuing, just to list a few:

1) VIOLENT: He had no trouble in assaulting an adult woman in a public place and threatening her with further physical abuse.

2) POSSESSIVE: Got triggered just by the fact that a classmate was talking to MC girl and felt the need to act in a threatening way towards the teenage boy. His own male friend is aware of this, who is seen SECRETLY hanging out with the female MC admitting that he himself would be in trouble with the creep if he knows they're hanging out. Not being able to casually hang out or even talk with friends sounds like the depiction of the worst type of toxic relationship.

3) MANIPULATIVE: Despite the fact that the creep is the one harassing the inexperienced girl ignoring her requests to stop, when the girl tried her best to take a strong stand against his behavior and called him out, all it took was him doing a pikachu surprised face to make her feel guilty resulting in HER APOLOGIZING TO HIM. This is not a light observation, as the creep was literally shown rejoicing himself in the fact that she was the one who apologized to him. That's some dark stuff right there for those who can see past the shojo-esque colorful backgrounds and cute faces.

As for the rest of characters, most of them seem to have been designed by the author to create an unrealistic sexual harassment fantasy where all the society surrounding the abuser is happy about his actions. Just as an example, you have the girl's mother who was being enthusiastic about all the unwanted gifts (instead of the more realistic approach of being suspicious/worried) and also not caring at all even after she found out the dude sending them is a grown ass man... instead, the mother was instantly added to the male MC's harem.

The animation is nothing special, just alright and the art style is average. Nothing really stands out.

Sound quality was awful mostly with the character voices. The opening and ending songs are quite cool though, which thankfully can be purchased and enjoyed independently without having to watch this anime.

Overall, this looks like a typical trash josei story with an abusive male MC where the author went overboard with the harassment fantasy and destroyed all credibility of the world depicted, converting this supposed romance comedy into something mediocre that is neither funny nor romantic in the slightest.

A child molestation fantasy story decorated with some generic isekai elements.

The story begins portraying a horrible middle-aged pedophile with the main flaws being a recluse (hikikomori) + leech living off his parents (neet) + literal pedophile. After reincarnating in a fantasy world and getting a second chance at life the MC says he will take life seriously now (it's literally the title of the show), so there was a reasonable expectation from the audience that it would be an interesting redemption story, only to utterly fail at that: the first 2 issues are quickly and magically fixed in the first few episodes while his lust ... for children never gets fixed and instead is written off as cheap comedy gags throughout the show.

The MC received for free all kind of benefits just by reincarnating: good looks (from the character's point of view), family with good social status, big magical power, secretly having an adult mind to take advantage of others, etc. He got for free things that a stereotypical loser character think they need for being a "better person", hence, it comes across as a shallow wish fulfillment story where the MC's creep behavior is rewarded with typical things that a lolicon otaku would want (loli harem, little sisters, etc).

The convenient plot writing is all over the place making sure the MC is involved in all kinds of ecchi situations because "he can't help it" (e.g. convenient misunderstandings, "it's legal/not big deal in this world" stuff, most males portrayed as worst than him so he "is not that bad" compared to them, etc), and the inner monologues reveal that this is how the MC fulfills the disgusting dreams he couldn't realize in the past life.

Besides that, the story is the typical generic isekai having the MC going on quests as an adventurer with the purpose of making him seem like a cool hero.

In terms of production value, the animation is good and the art style is attractive, although the quality went downhill in some episodes towards the end.

Male characters are unlikeable as most of them are portrayed as perverts or cheaters, which I guess is convenient for the underlying ecchi theme going on. Female characters seem to mostly exist for fanservice and to fall for the MC.

Overall, this looks like an ecchi anime that pretended to be a redemption story but ultimately failed at that.

A show containing the typical elements you would find in most Shoujo: the bishounen tropes where guys are drawn prettier than girls, colorful sparkling backgrounds for short scenes that are supposed to be cute and a school romance atmosphere intended to make the heart of teen girls go dokidoki depicting the usual (unrealistic) fantasies girls have around that age:

- A boy that is a nice guy but at the same time has a "rebel side": MC looks like a regular guy at school but wears piercings outside of school. How rebel is that, uh? Oh, his beauty level is also supposed to be increased dramatically ... just by removing his glasses.

- A boy that is calm but at the same time has a "wild manly" side: MC resorts to unnecessary violence and the whole thing is simply shrugged off with a puppy face saying "I got a bit angry" (you can imagine the girly screaming audience "aww he can protecc")

And generally speaking, an environment with multiple pretty boys where teen girls can choose their best husbando. There's almost no drama in this show, most issues being resolved quickly with maybe an occasional cat-fight between boys. The focus is mostly in "cute" moments while severely lacking in the comedy department.

By the way, the deep secret or hidden identities of the main couple that you read in most synopsis texts for this anime is exactly as it's written, and nothing more: the boy has tattoos and piercings, and the girl does housework... and that's it. Why doing chores at your own house is worth mentioning as a secret identity? it's beyond me, but in case you were waiting for a deeper meaning, you will be disappointed.

So what to do if you want to sell an average girly story in a competitive market? How about you put a label to it saying "this is for young boys", maybe also throw in a creepy pervert teacher character to show up occasionally harassing his underage female students (because that's what young boys like to see, right?). Result: pure marketing genius.

If you're already a fan from the manga, please enjoy the anime adaptation and have fun choosing which one of the boys has the prettiest tongue. If you're new to this anime, please be aware that you may be mislead by the "genre" labels, the synopsis and the initial hype from manga fans.

Overall, I cannot recommend this show.
