This anime is probably the most forgettable piece of media on the planet. I watched this when it came out, then re-watched it a couple years later and realized halfway through that I had already seen it. Then I did the same thing, watched it a third time, realizing halfway through that I had already seen it!
The thing is, it's not THAT bad, it's just weirdly forgettable. I've seen plenty of worse anime out there and even worse MCs. I really don't understand why this one keeps leaving my memory so quickly. I very rarely re-watch or re-read because things usually stay fresh in my memory for years, but not this. This fucking vanishes like a fart in the wind.

to be honest, it's a nice show to watch and unwind, sort of like an anime mixed with a slice of life and a little adventure, we still didn't get fight scenes or some grand twist in the story, thus making it perfect to enjoy the story as they try to give us a world-building, don't judge unless you try for your self with an open-minded mindset.
an honest review for an honest anime.
the story itself is like almost any isekai, the MC gets transported into a magic world where he finds himself in a place unfamiliar to him, but it hints for twists in the future and I can't wait to find out.
as for the style of this anime, it's not bad considering it came out in 2018.
for the characters in this show, they are balanced for the companion, the MC is smart, and careful and knows what he's doing, unli…

After reading reviews for this, I've put this show off for a while. When I was finally in the mood for some Isekai trash, I gave it a watch and I'm genuinely surprised that this show gets so much hate.
On the surface, it has several things I typically dislike in Isekai. A bland, dark-haired teenager and a harem of girls that want his D. But I found that those aspects are really not that bad in this. MC is fairly average amongst the nice guy protag's we usually get in these, but we fortunately get an internal monologue and a slow but steady increase in their skills and abilities as they go around the world. He is OP, but he's still learning how to do things and what skills he can use and the various problems he comes across use a variety of actions and abilities to solve. He doesn't just i…

Death March is a typical Isekai harem anime without anything to lose your mind about. And it's fine exactly because of this.
What DM does better than most is the prelude of the story involving MC and his way of life, it's more involved, makes more sense and has some thought put into it. The ironic nature of MC gaining his "op" powers also works logically well as without a single nuance MC didn't exactly have much going on for him in the beginning.
Overall it could be better described as a road movie or a Slice of Life kinda story, rather than your typical - there is a bad guy, go get him. In fact there really is no "bad guy" in the whole S1 and instead it focuses on world building, exploration of that world and the rules of it. I find that a great attempt among the bland - collect a team…

I have always enjoyed easygoing animes. This anime is a prime example of that. I have given this anime a perfect score because of its simplicity. The anime itself focuses on a man named Satou who is completely op. So if you enjoy watching a person breeze by life and having fun then this anime is for you. If you are looking for a serious anime or an anime with any decent plot or character development then do not watch this anime. Also I must point out that this is a harem anime and most likely will not appeal to female viewers.Th

Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku Anime Review
By: Ainana Hiro
April 25 2019
Overall: 9.2
Plot: 8
What if one day you wake up and you're already in a game? What if your normal disastrous and stressful life turns into a more enjoyable one? This kind of theme is not new in an anime series. It is rather famous and currently one of the most picked plot. The story starts with the protagonist Satou and his busy life as a game creator at the age of 29. Sounds amazing, right? Though it isn't. He spent days and days fixing bugs in different games without having the time to rest at all. One night when sleep comes to him, he woke up seeing himself in a life or death situation, with features of a game only he can see, with a familiar place he already saw, with the age of 15. His journey…

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody has the single most overqualified score I’ve ever experienced in anime. Every single track is excellently suited to its task, and the way they all work together results in the perfect musical accompaniment for a whimsical, laid-back fantasy adventure more interested in the simple mundanities of life in a magical, quasi-Medieval world than any sort of grand, epic journey. The ED song in particular is so memorable and homey that I would rank it up with Konosuba’s fantastic relaxing fantasy/country fusions. There were so many moments across these twelve episodes where I found myself thinking, “Man, I’m really going to enjoy listening to this music on Youtube once I finish watching this show. I might even imagine a better anime it hypothetically might…

This was the worst isekai anime I have ever seen. The show is about an overworked video game programmer who falls asleep after an exhausting day at work and suddenly wakes up in a video game-like fantasy world where he has been summoned by an unknown person (to be a hero against the forces of the Demon Lord who threatens the kingdom - that part's not important to the plot at all). The show’s (cliché) premise and edgy title imply that the series will be dark and full of action, but instead the show is extremely slow paced, features almost no action of any kind, and instead focuses on our hero Satou’s travels around the world with his ever growing harem of slave girls with no distinct personalities… Yeah…
The problems with the show start in the second episode, in which Satou starts as a pow…

This anime is so bad i can't even imagine that someone will enjoy this shit. There are 0 action, main character is ussles shit, he's got a badass power but dont use it at all. He's weak and stupid shit who thinks he's smart. That's so bad i cant even speak more about it. Only art keep this anime watchable but plot and character are so poor... Dont watch it. When u see some1 got 300+ and other guys and moster has 30-40 max you expect that he will destroy everything or will be resectable hero or sth. But he's just hiding his power all the time! He didin't even fight in anime srsly once!! That's so bullshit, whe the hell he has so much stuff,power,lvls when he;'s not using it at all!

Everything comes in cycles. Just a while ago it seemed like the “traditional” isekai was on the way out, with the most notable entries in the genre being subversive takes on the premise of being transported to another world such as Konosuba or Re:Zero. In hindsight, they were mere blips, as it appears we are living in a new golden age of isekai anime, given the upcoming adaptations of Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu and Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria. If Death March is any indication of the quality of these upcoming shows, we’re in for a rough ride.
At first glance, Death March’s premise is somewhat interesting. An overworked game developer gets transported into the world of one of the games he’s working on, complete with a standard MMO UI. Those ten minutes in th…

This is the kind of anime that i watch when i go to bed
Its really enjoyable the kind of anime that i like when I'm just relaxing i hope that everybody feels the same with this anime and everybody that watch the anime would think from a start that its just a dream yes its a dream because of the setting that's its just a dream so the MC will just do what ever he wants and i hope that the developers for this anime doesn't ruin the dreamy feeling that this anime has and PLSSS give this anime a outstanding ending.
Overall this anime is outstanding and this is my favorite anime of this season and i hope that the MC dream is a happy one and also hoping that MC didn't die in the actual world he lived in and didn't get transported because the setting of him just dreaming is already good and its a…

"Acquired Title: Buffoon"
The anime industry is no stranger to Isekai anime. Hugely popularised by Tenchi Muyou in the previous century it has come a long way for better and for worse. Death March is another of those fantasy cliche harem Isekai with an OP MC not unlike last year's infamous Isekai Smartphone. Where was Death March different? Was it better? Is it watchable? Let us see.
Starting off strong, Death March started off with a guy named Satou who is a 29 y/o programmer and is transported to a fantasy game where he becomes OP almost immediately. What I liked about the starting was that it didn't jump off straight into the harem action and instead gave a small backstory about the MC. Sadly it was completely washed out by (guess what?) all the harem action that followed and till the…

I would definitely recommend watching the whole anime at once. It would be enjoyable that way and you will not lose your patience.
The Anime itself is not complicated and relaxed all the way to the end. This is the Anime you would want to have with you because you can rewatch it again and again. This Anime won't make you cry or laugh but make you smile.
This Anime is the prime example of Not all Anime has to have good story, action and be fast-paced to be enjoyable.
Those who don't enjoy this Anime are busy people who can't afford to watch Anime for fun because they have forgotten Joy of relaxing while watching Anime.
So, when you have lots of free time open a large cola and chips bag and enjoy the Anime.

Death March to a Parallel World Rapsody is very refreshing and relaxing anime, it's not great desconstructor like Konosuba or Rezero was, but it did well on what it tried to do and that is, nothing. Yes, you did not read wrong, this anime is a very simple Slice of Life on a parallel world, nothing more, nothing less. At the start of the anime, you see a little of Satou's past life, as a proggramer, to me that was actually very important and fresh, because I always found myself asking: "what the hell Kazuma or Subaru did on their past lives". It's just something that won't matter anyway to the main plot of most isekai anime, but it's nice to see more of the character, even tough Satou may be seen as an self-insert character(to me he is, as I'm also game developer), not everyone can relate e…

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody seems almost as perfunctory as anime gets, as if to be the self-appointed embodiment of “anime today, 2018” . By that same token, it manages to actually somewhat succeed at being incredibly basic and even generic (temporarily), because sadly, it's hard to find a show that can pull this off. Giving the finger to SAO, Re:Zero, and Isekai wa Smartphone, this is Death March’s brief time in the limelight.
I'm sure that at least some who are aware of my outlook on a variety of shows of Death March's ilk are recognizing me as daft for even glancing at this show's general direction. However, the intention goes far beyond having an excuse to malign another anime. Put it simply, I want to prove the existence of a hierarchy.
Every genre, and every categor…

Oh, shit another one of these, jaz wtf is studio Silver Link and Connect were think when they come up with something like this? Shit now every time there is a fantasy genre it gonna remind us of something like this:
Ok so what gives:
Poor 3, story:
Frankly this is another version of Isekai wa Smartphone, where the execution wasn't too smart, in fact just like the latter, the original creator Ainana Hiro just played it too safe, to the point were everything were just too self inserted tragedy that all goes well for the MC and too plain as if you're watching something that was chore that fun and skimming it and won't feel bad since that character would be ok anyways.
Good 7, Art:
The only silver lining here were the occasional fanservices around here and that's as good as it gets.

Death March is the most pro-slavery tract of fiction produced since the end of the American Civil War. Death March's main character, Satou, is the most insidiously passive protagonist I think I have ever encountered. When thrown into a world with a legal and normalized institution of slavery, which includes the prostitution of children, Satou is apathetic at best – and eagerly complicit at worst. Satou is a fucking sociopath.
Let’s explore this.
Satou is thrust into a fantasy world (with inconsistent video game elements because there is no spark of originality to be found here) and, of course, he’s totally overpowered from the get-go. He soon enters a city where slavery is accepted, slaves are peddled alongside food items and clothing, and slaves are publicly beaten. The people of this c…

Death March is one of the most innovative anime that I’ve seen in awhile.
Now wait a second, I’m being completely serious here. I’m not trying to coerce you into reading my review by starting off with a lame sarcastic statement. Just bear with me for a bit. Now Death March has a typical isekai plot that is generic in every sense of the word. The visuals and soundtrack are plain, and the protagonist is yet another incomprehensibly dull Kirito knockoff. But this anime is truly unique in that out of the entire lead female cast, none of them have BIG BOOBS. That’s right, all of the important girls in this show either have modest chests or are lolis. Now I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen a plethora of harem/eiichi/isekai/anime with a bunch of girls in them, and these shows always showcase…

Death March is an isekai series similar to One Punch Man. It focuses around an overpowered mr. nice guy Jesus named Satou who saves women from slavery among other things with the powers of an I.T. guru, and makes them his property.
The events include mr. nice guy raping and pillaging like a viking, except he does the polar opposite because he is nice. Other characters in this series are women. Slave girls 1-7 and a knight. Most of them are very much into mr. nice guy but he himself is a nice guy who doesn't use women. We shan't never know what type of a glopping sound this guy makes.
What about the most common quality trait in anime: character development? Satou is already perfect so naturally, he isn't developed, but our main girls and side chicks all like Satou more at the end than in…

Before actually deciding to watch this show called “Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku”, I have to ask a question: do you really watch a show for enjoyment or do you watch a show to get the most out of it? When I sat down and decided to give this series a try, it felt like an anime that I would not have high expectations on. The premise, character visuals, and just overall idea of it sounds like a copy-paste story you can find in almost any light novel medium these days. But for Death March, this proved to be one of the blandest anime I’ve seen in recent years even compared to similar premises. It’s a literal slap to the face to anyone who expect this to be better than what it looks like.
Just for reference, I have read the light novel and keeping it up with took a lot of commi…
