This anime isn’t an isekai, but it follows a lot of the standard isekai tropes. It features the protagonist, Noir, gaining a number of skills that make him overpowered and then a bunch of girls fall in love with him. What I think makes this a bit unique is that it felt like it was much more open and blatant in being a wish fulfillment fantasy compared to most similar anime, for better or worse. The primary example of this is that his OP abilities are literally powered by wish fulfillment, in that in order to use them he needs to spend LP points which are gained by fulfilling worldly desires. I believe this essentially means committed any of the seven sins, though with Noir that means a bit of gluttony, a bit of greed, and a lot of lust. To be clear the anime isn’t all that ecchi so things don’t really go all that far, but there’s a lot of hugging, cuddling, and kissing.
The anime doesn’t really have much of a plot at all. It’s just a bunch of small single episode stories showing the protagonist getting into various situations and resolving them in a pretty amusing manner. There’s no depth to any of this and very little carries over from episode to episode beyond the characters. There’s no character arcs though and characters are all really flat. There aren’t really relationship arcs either. There are a bunch of girls that very quickly fall in love with Noir, but that’s about it. Noirs abilities are somewhat interesting in that they involve using spending LP to gain or modify any skill, on him or others including both allies and opponents. This is very rarely used all that well though unfortunately. Still, despite all the issues, the anime moves fast enough and for the most part is a very clear on what it wants to do and sticks to doing just that, so it’s a pretty fun ride if you know what you’re getting and just turn your brain off and go with it.
With that said, I found the writing to be surprisingly lazy even considering what type of anime it is. Sure, I get it. The protagonist’s abilities are so overpowered that it would be impossible to have any semblance of a plot at all if he used them properly, so I’m fine with the gaping plot holes and steady stream of inconsistencies that arise from working around that. But even beyond that there was so much wrong that really felt there was no need to be. Like I can accept that the amount of LP points gained from specific acts and spent on specific abilities making no sense and being completely inconsistent because it actually factors into the story. But it makes no sense to me at all why the level scaling is inconsistent and nonsensical as literally all that needed to be done to fix it would be to change some numbers. There are also very easily solvable plain old mistakes, such as a part where Noir is shown to be losing a bunch of abilities, but despite having lost one he still seems to have it in the next scene. All that would be necessary to fix that would be to not show that as one of the abilities he’s lost, or to show him getting it back. There’s also issues like how there’s a flashback to 200 years prior and the world doesn’t seem to have changed at all from then, or how despite Noir claiming he wants to remain incognito he bizarrely explains his unique abilities to everyone he meets for no real reason and with no plot effects afterwards. It felt really amateurish, which I suppose makes sense considering it was originally a syosetsu web novel, but these issues usually get cleaned up by the light novel version, let alone make it into the anime adaptation. Now considering what type of story this is, in the grand scheme of things none of these probably matter at all, but still…
The art and animation are mediocre. They can look good at times, but are generally pretty weak. I did like the character designs for the heroines, though the protagonist is boring even by generic isekai protagonist standards. The soundtrack I suppose is decent enough at getting the job done but doesn’t stand out at all. The OP and ED are both solid enough in terms of the songs and visuals. There’s an accompanying series of mini-episodes with chibi’s, but it was on the weaker side of the things when it comes to those.
