Preliminary (10/12 eps)
I enjoyed the manga, but watching the anime it loses alot of its flair and ambition. Needs more chuunibyo, less monologuing, and more attention to the action scenes. A power fantasy that was converted into more of a carefree slice of life.

The story is adapted from a manga, and follows it well, but the direction and focus of the anime takes away its magic. Its an isekai where people reincarnate into their game characters with all the looks and skills fully imported. While much time has passed between the game and their reincarnation, we follow the main character who is a summoner also adept at close combat, and dubbed the "One Man Army" at some point in the past. The action scenes are average at best. We know the MC is strong, but it doesnt feel that way because we dont get setup to feel that way, we are just shown that she just is.

The art is nice, but I feel there is too much focus on the main character's design that every other character feels bland. The "badass One Man Army" had too much of a child-appealing downgrade that he just looks like any other ordinary wizard. The side characters all are abit too generic, their outfits are just to mention their class and does not do anything in the show.

There is not much character development. They feel the same as they do at the start middle and end. There is no change in motivation, character, etc because there is no goal or trial or be overcome. MC goes to place ABC to do tasks because some other player said to, meet a couple of "strong" demons, and nothing changes from before and after. We are just shown the "threat" and it is verbally said to act as a build up, but there is no weight to the trauma, the looming inevitable villains, etc.

Overall this anime is more of a time killer than an actual art. Could have been greater, but the direction it took did not do the source material justice.
