That was my first thought when i saw the anime. The art, the story, the dialogue, the world... All of them were something I've always longed for but never found.
This is one of those times when the anime is better than the source material. You might want to check that out. Don't do it! After the 3rd volume it messes the things completely. Especially the couples. Sometimes I wish there were some tags like "wrong couples" or "annoying white-haired main heroine" (or am I the only one who thought that about Akashic Records or Ansatsu Kizoku, huh?). But I digress.
The world, the art, the storytelling... They are all top-notch. 10/10.
I don't care if it is isekai or not, if it is harem or not, if the chars are overpowered or not, if the pace is slow or not, it is all about "how good is the story". Like I've said, the world of Grimgar is fantastic. It is something any RPG lover would feel like home. And then they went higher and gave us one of the most amazing art styles. Again, better than whats in the LN (some "cute" distorted characters, no world view). And there's the pace, the struggles, the fight scenes. It's all good.
The soundtrack it nice. I don't know what more to say about it. Not really something to remember, but definitely didn't bother.
I've enjoyed this series a lot. I was hoping for a 2nd season but after reading the source, I hope we'll never get it. Unless they change the story. Oki, one more season would be ok. I think. maybe. If the stop right after Volume 3. Otherwise its a hard "NO, ty".
From time to time I keep re-watching this show, even 2 times per year, because I miss the story and the graphics. The art, man! Until I remember how the author fked it up and robbed us of something that could've been the foundation of a new era. And the worst part is that this anime helped him make more money. He "lied" to us with those beautiful 3 volumes.
Anyway, yes, it is a must watch show. Don't read the LN. Just enjoy the anime. Thats all. Have a nice evening.
