An isekai fan’s needs are easy to fulfill and are fulfilled quite faithfully in this anime this is an easy recommendation if you need any of the following.
1)OP protag who is relatively likable (But not distinct enough so that one can self-insert).
2)Harem, big tids, and beautiful chics. Not dense MC
3)Good worldbuilding but should also be a world that favors MC heavily.
4)Mecha (the twist)
5)harbinger of gender equality (shows no mercy to crazy fucks, male or female).
This is exactly the kind of fodder we isekai fans need to continue staying in our caves.
But if you want an actually competently produced show, please just drop this show and read the manga or LN, Yes I hate jumping on this train of “Manga is better”. But in the case of this anime. The anime is so garbage that the Manga (despite being a bit mediocre) seems like a gospel!
The character expressions are so well done in the manga, here it is as generic an isekai as the ones before it.
Let's just get into the review of this anime, ill keep it short.
Story (6/10)
Is quite good when talking about the source, in the anime however the pacing is downright horrible. They don't let you savor any good moments it's just one scene after the other. Most episodes end so abruptly you may wonder if the video got cut by mistake XD.
Art and animation (3/10)
they try to follow the source as close as possible in scenes that require less budget only. When a scene that requires high sakuga or budget shows up, cheap gimmicks like speed lines and terrible camera angles kill the moment. I do appreciate the fact that the mechs are drawn rather competently, but they use them as sprites to just fly across the screen with minimal to no actual movement. Broken mechs look more like Lego blocks than actual wreckage XD. They used only STILL FRAMES in one of the most anticipated Angie scenes (the punching one), it's a disaster. Art style is unique and I can tell they were trying for an Otome game-type styling but the characters look too shiny to the point they look like dolls.
VA and sound (6/10)
Rushed voice acting, with zero emphases on dialogues. The most hype scene of Leon versus the prince and his lackeys was delivered like it's a JAM speedrun dialogue-wise, with no zoom-ins, no powerful line delivery none of that good shit! (Makes you love scenes like Grisha and Eren from AOT) seem all the more legendary, Angie's and luxion’s Va do a good job however and you can feel that angie is noble by her manner of talk and delivery of lines.OP is alright music-wise. ED is just a lazy waifu showcase with a very out-of-place music choice.
Characters (6/10)
Enjoyable, sort of. the VA does kill a bit of the mood. But they do at least remain true to the source material. the main selling point is probably the anti-hero nature of Leon and the fact that character drama is a bit more natural and fleshed out like dealing with rejection, nobility and commoner issues, etc.
Probably just read the manga or LN xD, If you really don't want to give the first few a try and if you can handle this low-budget adaptation you may actually enjoy it more than I did.
