The generic title, synopsis and look of this show's poster may have sabotaged its own success, but this is a one-of-a-kind series that, despite being VERY flawed, is something I recommend all people looking for something different to try. This is not the kind of stuff I watch, but every once it a while, I'll give isekai #596 or Solo leveling clone #347 a try and even more rarely, it ends up surprizing me. This was one of those limited moments.
Story - 6/10
Going into this, I thought that this will be like every other piece of isekai gigaslop we've been fed for a good decade straight. It may seem like the most generic thing ever upon first review of the synopsis, but you'll find very quickly that it is actually quite the unique show...at least in some ways. Our show and protag start off a…

An underrated isekai gem! The only isekai that earns its edgelord tone by making its characters children and their quest to survive in the other world suitably traumatizing! They are 14, it is that deep, and viewing their journey as a coming of age will help you enjoy the show immensely.
The pacing of this series is phenomenal, elevating the tension of each quest in the the other world as much as possible. The action is satisfying and the race to complete each quest nerve-wracking. The show does a great job selling how out of their depth these kids are, and really manages to push them to their limits. I found it very enjoyable to watch the cast tackle the challenges of the other world, struggle to grow stronger, and learn to strategize and work as a team.
The characters give the impres…

This is a very interesting concept for an anime. It’s a little older compared to when i am watching it but i can assume it was a good foundational anime for a newer branch in a type of anime.The style and the panel flips from scene to scene seem to fit a lot of emotions into each part as the story enveloped. Very solid anime i would recommend this to someone else. I have personally seen a lot of isekai/ fantasy anime’s and could say that in some aspects it’s very generic in the characters and other parts of the adaptation of the anime; but, this anime also surprised me in a lot of aspects. I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. The main character had a good backstory.

(Spanish review on my list)
I'd like to define it differently, but it's actually just another isekai haha, the only difference is that here they return to their real world... and they're not so OP, the objective is more like a video game like "specific missions" and so on...
but it follows the pattern of teenagers in a world fighting against fantasy things, where the protagonist, even at a disadvantage, is quite OP.
hmmm well, it's not that bad, it's not boring but not very interesting either. It's a bit slow without much excitement in the chapters. Plus the animation, soundtrack, and "jokes" of the characters don't help much either. It's like playing a video game but you're just walking the whole time without using the run function. I don't know, it's weird. It's a world that seemed to…

100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru: The Coldness of Survival
100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru ("I'm Standing on a Million Lives") is an anime that tries to set itself apart from the typical isekai genre with a more cynical and pragmatic premise. The protagonist, Yusuke Yotsuya, isn't the archetypal hero who gladly accepts his new life in a fantasy world. Instead, he's a dispassionate sociopath, which gives his role in the missions a very particular perspective.
The premise that characters don't have a fixed role and can change classes in each new mission is an interesting and original concept, breaking from the usual structure of these anime. This forces the characters to be more strategic and think outside the box. However, the script's execution doesn't always live up…

I'm Standing on a Million Lives was a pretty interesting isekai, specially because of it's story. Normally Isekais are all about getting lost in another world, but this one took a different approach to the genre itself. Why I kept watching this was to see how far the story could progress while still being a good watch.
Frankly, I didn't think I'd like it this much!
It's different, sure, but the story is cool too. The character developments are steady, the story progression is good too.
If you liked other isekais but I want a fresh take on the genre, this is the one to watch. Contrary to the easygoing attitude the MCs have in Isekai animes, this one differs by being a mix between serious & wholesome moments.
That's all I'd say. Any more & it'll be no fun :p
Keeping it spoiler free, hope…

I’ve watched a lot of isekai, action, and adventure anime, and I can honestly say that 'I’m Standing on a Million Lives' stands out as one of the more interesting ones. While most anime in this genre follow a similar pattern — the main character gets reincarnated or transported to another world, joins a harem, and sets out to defeat the Demon King — this anime takes a different approach. Here, a mysterious Game Master summons characters and gives them quests. After completing each quest, they are allowed to return to their real world.
One of the things I liked most is that the main character isn’t overpowered. Instead, he’s clever and uses his brain to get through the quests, even with some strange or weak abilities. That made his journey more unique and enjoyable for me. The supporting c…

At first, it seems like your typical generic isekai anime, but as the story progresses, it gradually takes a darker turn, reaching its peak in episode 12. It’s strange how, all of a sudden, the tone of the series becomes much more serious and somber—it feels a bit unnatural to me.
However, one thing I have to highlight is that this anime, at least in its first season (I’m currently watching the second), is clearly made with a lot of love from the animators and the production team as a whole. The music, at times, is incredibly emotional and well done. I’m not sure how faithful it is to the manga, but I can say that it was at least made with "passion," so to speak. It’s something that, at least to me, is noticeable.
So yes, I definitely recommend this anime. It’s far better than the averag…

So, 100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru (I’m Standing on a Million Lives) is an isekai anime that aired in 2020, produced by Maho Film. It takes the usual "transported to another world" concept but gives it a bit of a twist—our main guy, Yusuke Yotsuya, isn’t exactly a heroic, kind-hearted protagonist. Instead, he’s super logical, kinda detached, and sees everything as just a "game."
At first glance, this might seem like a generic isekai, but it does have some interesting elements. That said, does it do enough to stand out? Well, let’s get into it.
Okay, let’s be honest—the animation isn’t amazing, but it gets the job done. Maho Film is a smaller studio, so while the character designs are fine, some action scenes feel stiff or awkward. There are moments where the art style looks gr…

This anime is complicated...
It has a future, but, something is wrong. The studio isn't the best and the story-line, huum, how I can say, bad...
Some points are very good, but the essential is bad. Simply bad. The characters are more or less and the animation is very bad... in others words, the animation is horrible.
So, why you marked this as mixed feelings? How I said previously, this have a future, but it has that to make right. It's 8 or 80, or is very bad or is good. The final, without spoiler, is the best part of the anime.
But, Neither all is so horrible. The anime has some points interesting, despite this don't be sufficient, it's a plus for the anime... If you is a critic, as me, this isn't for you. If you want fun, this is cool, but exists others by far.

An exceptionally boring anime with essentially zero power progression from start to end. They start out exceptionally weak, and finish being still very weak. From start to end there is maybe like one semi-decent fight. 90% of this show is about teenage girls and their inane highschool troubles (at least 30% of the show is memory flashbacks, no joke). And maybe if the male MC had been decent he could have salvaged something from those useless sidekicks... but no, he is actually the one that's most unlikeable. I am convinced MC is an actual sociopath, even until the last episode of season one he acts as if no one else matters to him, and in fact declares this outright towards the very end of the last episode. He is pretty much an asshole constantly for zero reason.
It's not just him though…

In summary, this anime sells itself as a standard isekai fantasy, but it’s not that at all, and it’s very likely that many will end up disappointed when they find out it’s actually a psychological fantasy anime.
I almost categorized this anime under "mixed feelings," mainly due to an unexpected plot and narrative twist that hit me like a cold shower. This anime quickly transitioned from being a classic level-up isekai fantasy to a kind of mystery and fantasy story with sci-fi touches. I would even say it has significant psychological elements. It’s not a conventional isekai at all, and while there are cases where this kind of twist makes the story a masterpiece, I’m not entirely convinced that’s the case with this anime. Without a doubt, the story and the plot twist are very interesting a…

It's an ok anime to pass the time.
100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru is a "pseudo-isekai", that suits well when you don't have anything better to watch.
The anime don't bring anything new, but if you enjoy this genre like I do, you can watch it to kill some time. I DO NOT recommend this anime to someone who wants something new or a good/great anime.
The story it's ok, the characters are generic and the animation it's barely an ok.
If you need something to enjoy while you don't have anything better to do, this anime it's a good call.

There was an attempt. An attempt at being deep and nuanced, and doing something new, but while the intention is commendable, the execution is shabby and boring. Almost clumsy. I don't care about the surprise twist by the end, so I shall judge it based on what the show presented through the 12 episodes, and, honestly, what was presented was an aggressively mid, low production value product with immemorable music, mediocre animation + character designs, skin-deep dialogues, and 'moral challenges' (like that in episode 6) that a middle schooler at their first creative writing assignment could come up with. A series of poor ideas poorly executed.
To reinforce the point, this anime is sometimes the personification of the "I'm 14 and this is deep" meme - an immature kid pretending to be a thoug…

This anime follows protagonists summoned by a god and the world is facing destruction within three months. Each protagonist has personal struggles. They must solve challenging riddles within a time limit to get abilities in a world where time goes faster. As the complete the challenge they get sent the their world and back days later and meet friends that have grown older in their quest to complete more riddles and overcome their struggles and their odd friendship becomes normal over time. Think the show is alright is is different from isekai that i have seen The Opening is a BANGER imo!!!

To start off with Season 1 was not a Harem even though it seems to start going that route during episode 1-3 but as it proceeds it clearly shows that isn't the route it was going to go, even one of the main female characters ends up becoming a good wingwoman when she finds out someone likes the MC, it isn't a romance anime so don't expect there to be a relationship and thankfully there wasn't fan service.
This anime was interesting for the most part however it did have a few boring moments, not that many but still more than once or maybe I should say it had a boring character, the girl with the short hair, she is the useless one out of the main group and don't expect much from her, I was expecting character development however there isn't much of that, she does put in an effort to practi…

BINGEABLE!!! Good art. Excellent story. Nice characters!!! Real rating for this should be around 8. As this show is quality. Compared to those idiotic animes, where the hero is training in a room reaching LVL 37 and killing a demon boss while screamed on by the Ubiquitous stupid goddess idiot..... COME ON!!!
Highly recommended if you have watched most dungeon isekai character progression animes, like Hunter x Hunter, Log Horizon 1-2, Sword Art Online (minus horrible Alicization), supreme Beast Tamer, My Daemon, Jobless Reincarnation, Berserk, Goblin Slayer, Yu Yu Hakusho, Shield Hero, Re Zero 1, etc.. and are currently watching amazing Delicious.in.Dungeon, supreme Solo Leveling, surprisingly good The Unwanted Undead Adventurer and as they are currently ONGOING, so not bingeable yet .. an…

I randomly picked up this anime but do I regret it?
I’m standing on 100 millions of lives show cases the male protagonist who gets transported into a “virtual reality” or is it something more than that?..
If you like anime’s which are either fantasy or Isekai and are indeed interested in this anime I would say give it a shot. This anime has definitely surprised me in some plot twists and there were indeed moments which I would give it an 8/10. Compared to other more popular anime’s this would be a 6/10.
If this anime was more like a comedy thing for pure entertainment it would be a good one to watch, which I enjoyed despite not necessarily enjoying these genres of anime’s, which surprised me.
While watching the anime and taking a sneak peek at some reviews I noticed someone mention how…

"100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru" is at first glance the typical cardboard cut-out isekai anime we get every season, however this anime has an intriguing world building and base plot with lots of initial potential, this made me super exited for the future of this title but sadly it ended up not living to such expectations due to all the other factors especially the lack of compelling characters in the main cast.
Plot: As mentioned this is the average isekai fantasy world type anime where the characters are viewed as heroes by the civilians in said world, however the whole gist of this anime to try and stand out from all the other anime in it's genre are mainly three aspects: 1st is the fact that our main cast goes back and forth between the two worlds rather than stay stuck in…

I started giving isekais a chance, this is the second one I'm watching! if the review is bad, forgive me, it's my first time 😵
the anime as a whole gave me a good laugh, there were a few hours that it was impossible not to become joker and I was bordering on the insanity of committing 98 crimes.
I ignored a lot of those typical obligatory isekai moments and found it nice to watch.
the story is ok, I liked the plot that was having to scare them but like... out of nowhere I saw the birth of a Light 2.0 in this protagonist... and I was nahhhh 😬✌️.
6 is the perfect grade for this anime, he didn't deliver much but he didn't deliver anything either, he delivered what he promised.
