I’ve been watching anime for awhile now and I always thought my first review would be epic. I should’ve specified because this won’t be.
I like the isekai genre. I’ve always been a fan of OP MC’s or ones that defy all the rules. This show had the potential to be great. I got vibes from all different kinds of shows. I really wanted to like the MC too because he’s got OP powers but is an introvert and has to actively try to fit in the role he’s created for himself. It leads to some pretty funny moments.
But holy heck Batman! The fan service ruins EVERYTHING. I tried to suffer through it. I made it to episode 7. Without going into much detail, there’s a scene in which fan service reaches consensual activities. I didn’t sign up for that. I can do a lot of things, but I can’t do non-consensual in my anime. It’s just not worth it. Especially when the anime isn’t set up to be hentai or ecchi.
I get it, fan service is practically unavoidable. But it should NOT be a consistent PLOT element. If you don’t know how to advance the plot decently, surely there are better things to do in an isekai than go for gold in the lewd Olympics.
I’m disappointed, but it surprised. This is an anime that you’ll have to watch with a grain of salt. It’s not an isekai with a serious factor in it. Which is again, disappointing, because I like isekai. Overly cautious hero, SAO, All routes lead to doom, all had goofy elements to make the story fun. But there was still a central serious factor that tied the story together as a whole. That’s not this. And it should’ve been advertised as such.
Meh. It be like that sometimes.
