Now I know people are going to disagree with me on some regards but this is how I feel about this series and personally I love it and look forward to each episode also this is my first review for an anime so don’t be harsh
Story: (7) It’s a typical Isekai story but the main difference is the main character goes to a video game world as apart of a government project and his mom is going with him, I don’t think a story has to be creative in order to be good so I don’t really mind that it’s an Isekai
Art (7) Arts pretty standard as in animation wise, from what I see so far the characters and the world itself look good and CGI is used for monsters but it looks pretty good so far and looks like it fits into the world. The only thing I say is different art wise is the characters designs and how they look specifically the eyes and honestly I love how the eyes are drawn and creates a bit of uniqueness design wise
Sound (7) Soundtrack is standard though I do think the OP is very catchy visually and the song itself not much to say here
Characters (8) I admit that I read this series before this aired at least a couple of the light novel volumes so I knew that the slime scene was going to happen and honestly I don’t like it and that is the only thing I dislike about this series (the very weird Ecchi scenes) but what sticks out to me is the characters and not as in they are beautifully written and are the best characters of all time, they aren’t but what I like about them is how real the are in the sense that their stories felt real to me and they show more then just one emotion outside of the characters stereotypes.
Take Wise (the Tsundere for example) when I first saw her I thought I had her figured out and who she was some semi bitchy tsundere who is very rude to our MC Masato despite the fact that she likes him but I was wrong...sorta she is sorta rude and isn’t really a wonderful person but not only does she know that they way she treats him is a problem but actually tries her best to apologize and try to get along with everyone in the party again and honestly I felt sad when she told her story about her and her mother and how the way she is treated is just awful
I know I spent to much time talking about Wise so I’ll just make the rest of the characters short as I can
Masato (our main lead) Though he is a bit of an ass to Mamako he shows that he truly loves her and it’s not that he doesn’t love her it’s the fact that he doesn’t want to be treated like a little kid, he’s also really funny at times and his cringe faces always put a smile to my face
Mamako She’s pretty standard as the doting mother type but honestly the way she is with her son is kinda adorable and she’s just trying her best to be a good mom but she does need a bit of a backbone when it comes to Masato, even though he immediately apologizes to Mamako after he is rude to her she just needs to be a little more strict with him
Porter Their isn’t much to say about her yet, she’s adorable she’s actually a asset to the team and she isn’t lewded at all so that’s a plus
Shirase Funniest character in this series I love her and her role to the story as the Shirase (informer) she tells you things and then she dies love her
Medhi: Personally my least favorite of the bunch but not saying it in a bad way, sometimes she can be really funny and roast the shit out of the side characters and sometimes she’s just a bitch
Enjoyment (9) Though their is some cliches with this story (it’s a freaking Isekai it’s has to have some cliches) I say that it utilizes what it has well and makes a really fun story
Overall 7.5 It has some unenjoyable things in this series like the faint incest undertones but the mother and son only view each other as mother and son so I can deal with some ecchi scenes as long as they don’t end up together (it doesn’t seem like it in the light novel and manga) but overall it’s a sweet and hilarious mother and son Isekai story that I know isn’t enjoyable to all but you can’t satisfy everyone especially with Isekai so I know that some people will say it’s the worst story ever but they are just exaggerating
