In short, it's the dream of every ordinary boy who's never had a girlfriend, never kissed a girl, and lives a simple routine, to die and go to a world where he masters all magic with incredible power, being recognized as special and ending up surrounded by many girls interested in him, forming a harem of beautiful wives.
The animation is good and colorful, matching the lighthearted tone of the story. The script blends romance, humor, plot, and fanservice perfectly, without seeming rushed. The characters are captivating, and Toya's wives are all adorable.
One of the strengths of the work is precisely its good humor, and the group of women and characters that forms around Touya creates a fun atmosphere.

Yet another generic harem anime.
Honestly, if it weren't for a challenge, I wouldn't have watched this to the end.
There's a lot of issues with this show, but I think the main one is that it's a rugpull. "In another world with my smartphone", but the smartphone isn't even used 90% of the time. It's really just a Wattpad level competence porn. The protagonist is good at everything, can cast any spell for any situation, never runs out of mana, straight up copies Kirito's appearance, and I don't think he even gets hit in the whole show (outside gag situations where the girls smack him).
On top of competence porn, it's also straight up harem. I don't even know why he stops at 4 girls. Might as well charm one or two girls every episode if you want to go there.
I think I might have liked this…

Well, if the story is the only one, I believe so, of course there are several other Isekai animes but the story is very beautiful; good art style I agree that it is very interesting and it is very fun too; well, the characters are complete, intriguing, fun, they are very beautiful and their clothing style is top notch, they are also strong and intelligent; Well, I always found the characters' reactions funny, right? Very good because there were moments that were reactions of shame, joy, anger, very interesting, really good; good opinion of other people, I don't know, right? Some like this type of anime, others don't like it. My opinion is that the anime is great and not bad. There are people who think that the anime needs improvement and everything else, but their opinion, right? that the…

This is the definition of a generic anime. It's like eating junk food for a full meal, you'll finish it, but you won't feel satisfied with it. The main hero is the generic dense nice guy who has girls falling in love with him for no reason other than he has a pulse. He has OP abilities. But the biggest issue to me is he has no goals, and every time he gets one, it's resolved in minutes, and usually it's because someone else did it for him. He never actually works for a single thing he gets, despite how much he gets. It's fun to watch at first, but it quickly becomes a drag. I don't want to invest time in a show where the main character has no redeeming qualities, has no goals, and despite that, it seems the world bends over backwards for him.

Utterly appalling. Never have I seen a show succeed so well at accomplishing the single goal of wasting my time. If I could give this show a zero, I would.
Art: 0/10
Generic. Clinical. Frequently off model. I thought cruel and unusual punishment was illegal. Not a single thing stands out about the "art" in this show. The animation is laughable. None of the characters stand out in any way. Toya's design is as bog-standard as it gets. Backgrounds and locations lack any semblance of effort beyond the bare minimum. For once, I would say the criminally underpaid and overworked animators were fairly compensated for their work here. Just to be clear, the animators aren't the problem. This show is the problem.
Sound: 7/10
The voice acting is fine. Nothing crazy, but they do a good job. It woul…

I absolutely loved this show and hope for a second season.
The main character is a good intelligent brave kind young man.
The story was very well thought out, fun, humorous, enjoyable. The addition of the smartphone how they used it was good and I’m curious of what other ideas they can come up with.
The love story was cute and I would like to see another season to see the other wives.
This season caught my interest and I would very much like to see more.
And I watched the English Dub, I enjoyed all the actors choose for their rolls, but I was surprised at how many times the sound and voices didn’t sync up with the visual art.

I'm glad I gave this anime a shot despite poor reviews.
Turns out the reviewers were expecting something that they did not get...
I just wanted to watch an Isekai.
It wasn't a masterpiece, but it kept me entertained and I liked the characters.
The beginning felt a bit rushed as if we missed an episode, but I got over that quickly enough to not care.
One thing I didn't care for was how the last few episodes started becoming a fanservice trope about female body parts. It was still enjoyable though.
I recommend giving this a watch if you like Isekai, are not an anime snob that only watches the tippy top anime, and have time to kill.

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. (2017)
Story
Male protagonist gets Isekai’d but instead of dying of a heroic act or doing something stupid he was effectively killed by god by accident by a stray lightning bolt. He is then offered a new life, in a new world with a wish to have something as advantage. Touya choose to keep his smartphone which will work by magic and help with life going forward. As a kindness he is also made to be very powerful and is a likeable person. He finds himself in a new world going on adventures with a harem building around him very quickly.
Art
The art used in the show is of a good standard and is enjoyable to watch. Detail is good all the way through with various fan services. Some people do not like this but let us remember it is an Isekai with a smartphone……

Let me begin by saying I loathe this anime with all my being. It was so bad that I couldn’t even finish the last 2 episodes.
Story:
What story?
Art:
Hideous. If the girls were at least cute then I might’ve given it like a 2 but none of the girls were even close to being best girl and the show just overall doesn’t look that good.
Sound:
The worst animes usually have the best soundtracks (like Accel World) so I am happy to say that no music in this anime was really good Characters:
Cookie cutter at best. Potatoes at the worst.
Enjoyment:
Do I even have to tell you?
Overall:
I despise this anime. In conclusion this is an anime on par with the likes of Asterisk war except the girls aren’t as cute

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni: A generic anime where there are
Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni has as a great merit to be the perfect example of the generic that can be many anime that are currently broadcast.
Many times I have said that many anime series in recent years seem to be mass produced. It is as if someone has written a pattern and the others simply make copies of it. Well, to be fair, I will say that most people take the time to make some small adjustments ... but very small ones.
However, from time to time there arises a series that does not want to complicate life a…

In 2015, Hideaki Anno said the anime industry was walking to its end, that animators no longer had passion and what they did and anime was turning into nothing more than merchandising, and Japan was soon to be taken over by new animators from China or Tailand.He could have only been blind.While we do have a lot of empty shows, every year the anime industry do releases at least 9 or 10 shows overflowing with passion from the creators, and while that doesn't mean they are all great, from time from time we stumble upon masterpieces, sometimes innovative and creative, sometimes simply masters of it's genre.In 2010 we had Rainbow, in 2014 Barakamon, in 2015 we had the incredible Concrete Revolutio, in 2016 the breathtaking Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, and now, 2017, we finally have another on…

Oh dear, what have we done.
I actually recommend people watch this show. Not because it is good, but precisely the opposite. Watching Isekai wa Smartphone is like a crash course for the anime connoisseur in how to quickly spot horrifically bad and blatantly unoriginal writing. Throughout the entire show, red flags pop up everywhere hinting to how the creators are just trying to make a quick buck off a popular genre.
-Lazy character design. Every single character in this show is a one dimensional shadow clone of a character from a better show. This is not an exaggeration. Every. Single. One.
-The main character has NO personality. None. Zero. He's always positive about everything and never makes a mistake. His mood never changes. He can legitimately do anything.
-Right from the start…

A quick review here..
The anime is okay I my opinion, it is not bad and yet not great and the only bad thing I can think of about the anime is that the main character is WAY overpowered and has no challenges at all in any confrontations
If this is all we got from this series, then I think the anime should have had a lot more episodes in where the main character came up again another character who is in a way similar, basically what I mean is the lack of a rival made me not think of this anime as a great one.

So this is my fist review ever made. Why?? Because this anime is so awful I ... I cant!! There is no character development, no plot or anything that would make it entertaining!
Entire "plot" is just rip off re: zero and konosuba by that "oh you died heh. welcome to the different world HEH!!" Except those shows did it well! Here we just have guy who is overpowered and pretty much retarded (bringing guns to such world??? WHAT THE FUCK) I dont understand why would god ever make someone that strong, it just doesnt make any sense. Also why nobody really questions him? He pulls out the most stupid excuses for his phone or stuff he knows and everyone there is like "uhmm makes sense!" and why no one havent thought about stealing his stupid magical phone???
Animation is SO lazy. I wish I was blin…

Initially I gave this a 2. But having finished the show, I was wrong.
This show is deceptively good, it'll have you think it is a terrible show, hence all the bad ratings. However this show is unique in that it goes all out with its premise, which I can appreciate.
Now, why it looks bad:
- Bad art and animation
- Shoddy cliche characters
- Bad character designs
- etc etc Why it is actually good:
I want to start this with stating that a show should be scored not in relation to other anime in general; this show is a flat 0 in comparison to the greats such as FMAB etc. Rather a show should be scored based on how well it does what it has intended to do, i.e entertain, inform, send a message etc.
This show's purpose was to go all out in its premise and by doing so make fun of all the other s…

I see a lot of people harshly judging this anime. I understand why people might hate it. But today I am here to tell you exactly why Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni is the best comedy anime this year if not the best of these past 4 years.
Let me set something straight :
This anime is the literal apex of ironic comedy anime.
You heard me. Ironic comedy. If you don't like ironic comedy or you are one of those people who actually care about serious, in-depth stories, this is definitely not an anime for you. Now allow me to elucidate on how this anime perfectly accomplishes exactly what it is intended to accomplish.
To begin, this anime is full of clichés. If you could not tell this anime was a cliché filled anime from the title, it will be pretty apparent within the first episode. However,…

Isekai waka waka smartphone desu is the very definition of mediocrity.
If mediocrity was a city, isekai famalama smartphone dingdong would be working a low paying office job in it.
Don't assume that this anime ever gets exciting just because it has isekai in its name -- because this anime is 100% through and through slice of life
*spoilers ahead* nothing EVER goes wrong. (that being said it is still somehow more interesting than log horizon)
Every episode before 12 goes like this: Touya and his incredibly boring harem go to a new location, they reach a threatening looking hurdle, touya dono casts slip and it falls over allowing him to claim victory
The remaining 10 minutes of every episode is every character introcuded so far making loud guttery slurping noises
WOW TOUYO DONO YOU ARE S…

You know, when the main Japanese demographic your anime markets towards ends up hating your anime, then you know it blows chunks. Not even pretty girls can remedy that fact. I should’ve listened to OtaKing. Well, rationality is incomprehensible to anyone involved with this show's existence. If you don't want to see a rant on this crappy piece of work that is the cheap bootleg equivalent to Konosuba and an insult to harems, isekai, and entertainment, leave immediately. The gloves come off and the spell of death is cast.
Creative bankruptcy. It's something that any artist of any medium worth his or her salt should dread when creating a work. It's when the art has no soul of any kind, no artistic purpose behind it, meant only for the money. That brings us to our target: Isekai wa Smartphone.…

"Anime is trash, and so am i"
This anime is so extremely terrible that it manages to keep me entertained, thus making it very enjoyable.
Don't get me wrong. Everything about this adaptation of the original light novel, is absolutely trash. From the story, to character development and even the characters themselves and to even the art and sound is absolutely terrible.
To me it just seems like they took everything that is considered hated in the anime community, and just mashed it all into one single anime. This anime is basically a clichefest.
In the end. All the bad things made me like it.
All in all 10/10 just because its fucking trash

Throughout the generations of anime, we have been given the genre called ''Isekai'' or ''In Another World''. From the video game genre of Isekai like Log Horizon and SAO, to the parallel world Isekai like Konosuba and then this anime, we all loved and hate the genre as well.. Summer 2017 season will end soon and for the past few months, it brought us a few Isekai animes. One of them is ''Isekai Wa Smartphone To Tomo Ni'' or ''In Another World With My Smartphone''. Now, when I first look at it from it's poster, I thought the anime will be good and comedic like Konosuba... Like Konosuba.. with a Smartphone! But sometimes, when you make higher expectations to something especially anime, it bounds to fall down. And it really did for this anime. 'Isekai Wa Smartphone To Tomo Ni' revolves to the…
