You know....having read the manga and actively keeping up with it compared to what I just saw in anime form....felt like two different atmospheres. I'm just here to see the "content" animated. Tenka getting the focus in the ED has me wondering just how far they plan to go with this. Also...funny how just like with Akame Ga Kill, they straight up supersize the boobs in the anime XD
@DedPanda

Yeah, I did feel Tenka being the focus of the ED being a little strange. Why isn't it Kyouka? Tenka doesn't really feel right with the collar and all. I know Tenka is popular, but still felt off to me (especially when she hasn't even been introduced yet).

As if it matters-I know I'm just some guy one the internet, but this animation studio has lost my respect. I was really looking forward to this show. I'm loving the manga, and was hyped to see the adaptation on screen. This looks terrible though. I'm certain this will only last one season. There's no way it measures up to the manga's quality. This sucks because the story is quite good, and delivers way passed the fan service. The manga actually turned out to be an interesting plot with good action. Disappointed that the anime isn't going to measure up to those fight scenes from the pages.

TLDR: This material deserved better than this 3D-rendered dumpster fire.

This was deceptively, painfully mid.
Another isekai, with a really ugly and dumb protag, and a bunch of paint-by-numbers waifus... there's the lazy one, the bossy one, the cute one; each with corresponding hair colors. At least it does some setup by showing his life before he gets isekaid into a ...game? It has these really terrible monsters that attack and eat people..... yawn..... and chick finds him and tells him his duty is to be her slave.
Yeah...no

But on the other hand, there are things about it that seem decent. It has surprisingly good production values. It looks sharp, at least all the female characters look great (the mc looks like a goof) the OP is way too good of a song to open for a show like this, and the ED has really good animation, music, and there's even a preview screen at the end.
The thing is, the characters are all archetypes, and just looking good might not be enough to bring me backfor 12 weeks of this. If I want good looking characters, production values and music I can surely find them attached to a better anime.

"All men are beta simps who lost against onlyfans copium which gives only power to woman" the anime.
My thoughts as anime only first: its a type borderline misandry story that attracts submissive men readers and wouldn't be working if it wasn't for "power to only females" and "automatic ecchi reward" for the fan service. (Just a kiss is conveniently low for killing a lot of monster and saving 3 lives btw haha you already see the problem if you are smart) I can already see the dynamic that he's gonna keep being treated like trash but somehow save girls in every clutch times and be coveted by every girl around while falling into countless ecchi situations. But hey I know its fictionnal and you gotta turn off some parts of your brain regarding the story and fan service while enjoying the action and relationships.

Now my thoughts as manga reader (minor spoilers ahead, just the gist of the story):
So I wasn't sure I would continue to watch it as I'm watching many series (18) per season and have to make a choice so I went and binged quickly until chapter 84 ish yestderday so its very fresh in my mind. Then had to stop.


My verdict is that its not as good and engaging as people are make it up to be nor not as hype as ppl think it is and the ecchi scenes are just whatever. its faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from being "peak".

I had no idea about it and since I'm a fan of Akame ga kill, Esdeath is my favorite female manga character ever so before ep 1 I was expecting something great from the author like good characters, an interesting plot, problematic enemies, good fights, lots of threats to society, characters overcoming difficulties and going through hardship, lot of deaths around the mc etc mixed with femdom actions towards the mc but after ep1 and going to read the manga this is legit the dynamic that I predicted which is "Men and the mc are treated like trash (for 5sec) but somehow he save girls in every clutch times and/or he's coveted by every single one-note girl around while falling into countless ecchi/soft lewd situations that benefits him."



So I decided I will stop watching (and reading). If you want cute but simple ecchi action story its nice, if you are expecting more to the story or to have even good humor or really interesting action or overcoming difficulties or character development you will be extremely disappointed and mistaken. (Tho I managed to like and root for Shushu a bit lol).
And also they NEVER NEVER NEVER "tackle for real the gender inequality topic, gender roles etc nor dig into these themes in an interesting and complex way."

I expect smart people who expected more or something similar to Akame ga kill to realize they have been lied to around episode 4 I guess. Please do not expect anything Akame like other than the fights, plzz forget the deaths and dark tone etc. every threat/monster is fodder & useless unless its a hot girl who's gonna ALWAYS join his harem in any possible way even defeat still maake a girl/enemy join the harem. Tho people who are just here for the erotica scenes and a generic ecchi harem will be satisfied. People expecting femdom toward the mc or bdsm etc will get nothing.


Its not very bad tho, its just mid at best but not worth my time, I'm glad I decided to read ahead quickly to make my decision.
I expect most of you to comeback to my post and quote me saying "Fuck, he warned us".

Thought maybe the uncensored has something to offer but it literally the same as the censored version...

For an ecchi anime, maybe it isn't ecchi as it I thought it would. I felt mix vibes: Akame ga Kill + High School DxD = Mato Slave?

If it follows the manga, and what you want is more ecchi, just give it another episode.

It was alright. This is just a typical action+ecchi series. I have seen stuffs like this many times. I would actually enjoy it more if there is a comedy element like the "Gushing over magical girls" show aired this season.

This is pretty interesting if it's in the Ecchi and Harem category haha. So in this world of Japan, girls have special powers while guys don't, and some of the girls work to fight off demons that appear in a sud-dimension, pretty cool!! Yuuki and Kyouka seem to already be a great combi, people who wish to get stronger in order to reach a high goal is something admirable! Kyouka's slave ability to give them a reward for their work sure was something, even if it's just automatic I wonder if this'll spark something between these two hahaha

It was good ad I understand there is gonna be more ecchi in next episodes I just hope its not gonna ruin the action moments and fights. Other than that the girls characters seems basic but still good and I love their designs but I dont know why I really hate the design of the MC maybe its he’s hair but I just cant he looks bad. But other than that solid action and interesting story for now

This is an absolute abomination, calling this an "animation" is a travesty. I've seen fan made hentai games done by a single person that had better quality than this.

Horrible 2D with out of proportion characters? Yup

Horrible 3D with generic models and appalling animation? Yup

Just for a good measure they have also added 2D scenes made with 3D cell-shaded models (or at least that's what this looks like). If anyone is familiar with Koikatu games - that's the quality level of the models if not worse at times.

The choice of VAs is also questionable, to me personally it's almost entirely missed.

My wholehearted recommendation is to skip this anime entirely and just re-read the manga...

A fun and sexy first episode! I started reading the manga around a year or so ago but didn't get very far, so I knew the basic premise and characters. The animation had some good moments, and I appreciate the stylistic approach they're going with the CG which helps make it look like less of an eye sore. They added variable thickness in the lines and that pencil/sketchy look to shadows making the models look more 2D.

That kiss was something else though. I think it may have been censored in the middle there, but it was sexy regardless. Can't wait to see more of this one.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
