Don't watch this show for the animation. Don't watch it for the music, and don't watch it because you expect a deeply original and profound story.
Watch it to be entertained, to laugh at the absurdities, to feel connected to the side characters who have real stories and screen time in a very non-shonen* way.
This show is extremely entertaining. Now look, I'll be the first to admit that the humor is not everyones cup of tea but if you like this type of tea, then you will be highly satisfied.
The characters are charming and feel like real people in the most anime absurd way. Beneath the trope-filled fluff is a real story of a dirty, nasty, discriminatory and economically divisive world and a mobster rico swavey MC who is basically responsible for the world he gets pulled into...except h…

Feels like the product of a studio that didn't put in much effort.
For action, it's mostly slideshow style in that there's an enemy, an attack, and then the after effects rather than actually animating combat and making things look good.
For the plot, I'm guessing off of the anime that the source material focuses on how the world is and how it's being changed. The anime seems to speed through this though so it's not very good either.
For comedy and characters, not enough animation is put into facial expressions or body movements for these to look that good either. The voice actors always do a good job though.
Bottom 10 of all anime I've finished. I imagine it could've been great but the people who made it didn't let it shine.
There are some good moments, but those are what clips are f…

I ran out of stuff to watch so I randomly found this. All the ratings made it sound trash but I get wet from isekai so I still decided to watch. Best decision ever. All the characters and events are very similar to every other isekai but different enough to be entertaining. Every episode managed to make me smile, ridiculous stuff happening all the time. Art is good enough and animations are completely fine. Sound is well done: background music has been picked to suit the comedic mood of the show. Honestly this anime is trash but so am I and if you are too you will also like it.

So basically it's not that bad an anime I have seen worse and also Most Isekai I watch are pretty generic yeh this one is kinda different in a sense also I recommend you watch it

Man I have watched a lot of isekai and out of the bunch this is a pretty generic anime Title but some isekai are literally garbage and out of Most of them I have watched this is one of the best so I recommend watching it

CHARACTERS-[Little Spoilers]
One kind-hearted Middle-aged man. One small cute, perhaps even overly timid loli. Mean and crappy villagers.
Some things I like about this anime? How they depicted the development of the protaganist, Oono Akira in just a single episode. At first, Akira is viewed to be a grumpy old man, who seems to be like the kind of elderly neighbour that glares at you from his backyard when you make too much noise. Not a surprise since Akira is the manager of a certain MMORPG. The kind of guy that has a business-like personality and is no-nonsense. In just one episode, he transforms from a delinquent squat into a nice wholesome guy who protects young girls from their pitiful fates. Comes along in the forest is our blonde fairy, Aku. Yes, her name is Aku. I wonder what were…

IF THE MOOD IS RIGHT, THIS ANIME IS ENJOYABLE!!
This is an ISEKAI anime with less ACTION, more COMEDYY :). So if you want to watch this anime make sure to watch it if YOU RUN of any ANIMES or want to RELAX a bit from some SERIOUS ANIME. If you ask me what anime that is similiar to this anime is Overlord and Log Horizon MIXED!
The story is not really that good but not bad either, but it just keeps you watching until the episodes LAST if you liked the CONCEPT!
The sound is just normal, the OP is good the ED is forgetable but don't worry you are watching this anime not because of the OP and ED!!
Character development is normal too but I liked the main protagonist because he's really a BAD-ASS guy and MANLY!
The animation is just normal, it's just a regular 2019 anime.
SO it's just up to…

A middle-aged man doing stuffs in a fantasy world. Never thought that it'd end up better than I expected. Sure, this is an isekai but other than that this anime is very chill and I enjoyed watching it.
This is a pretty decent anime to watch if you're super bored and just wants to chill. I wouldn't say that it succeeded overwhelmingly as an anime overall but this is just kind of like those one-when-needed shows where they're not necessary to watch but could still be watched solely for amusement anyways.
Seeing some OP old dude beating up people and making places. This was exactly what I needed because I was incredibly bored and depressed. Although I was already occupied with an anime. The anime I was occupied with is too "good" that I feel like I shouldn't consume it yet and instead put…

Just don't know what it is but this anime ticked all my boxes when it comes to the fantasy shit, I love all genre of anime, but this isekai anime was just amazing. Its so funny and straight forward, there is not a great amount of character plot, but that just adds to what the anime is good for, I very much enjoyed this anime and binged watched it over 2 days, left me wanting a season 2 and even being quite attached to the characters, it has a strange charm and does not deserve the low rating these hyper critical virgin weebs are rating it. Go and watch for yourself!

This is basically a more comedic approach to Overlord and I love that lol
as people would say, "it's so bad that it's good!"
this series is exactly that. I almost lost faith watching the first two episodes but oh boy when the story progress handling the most isekai tropes in a comedic appeal I was enthralled!
Summer 2019 had a lot of lackluster isekai theme anime airing this one was a breath of fresh air.
I definitely had a lot of laugh throughout watching this!
nonetheless, I still found myself confused several times because of the lack of explanation given but I learnt to just enjoy the ride

Maou-sama Retry is an Isekai Anime in which you can Enjoy for what it is. This Anime takes a step back from seriousness within its genre and adds a nice touch of both Comedy, and Wholesomeness. It's not focused on a certain objective that the protagonist wants to achieve therefore it opens up potential for Funny travels and Adventures with the characters Hakuto the Demon Lord meets. I think this is a good show to watch because it allows you enjoy a simple setting without demanding much from it. If you enjoy shows with funny situations and good values then this Anime deserves a try.

It is the second anime I watched this week having low rating (~6.5).
And I am REALLY disappointed by this mess.
I am asking a question "what's wrong with these people, which pose themselves as experts, and sets low rating" to myself, but I have no answer to it, except a "vanity".
This anime is really cool.
It is so funny and kind, interesting and beautiful, so I have watched it with delight!
And I hope there would be a sequel. Maybe I will find & read an original manga or a novel.

To be blunt, this anime was obviously done on shoestring budget, doesn't really look like the original manga, deviates from source material somewhat, tries to do fanservice and fails at it quite miserably, and has poor production qualities all over the place. Also it is definitely not sure what it is supposed to be about, as by the end of the season it doesn't get anywhere.
Yet it is still for some reason enjoyable. It is a huge mess, but has some sort of appeal despite that.
The highlight of the series, interestingly is its music. Whoever was writing the soundtrack had a blast doing that and it is probably the main reason why it is even interesting. There's amazing short metal tune right in the episode, and past that point there's sort of interesting tune that plays out all the time and…

Ok, so another mediocre isekai anime has ended, thought it was the usual generic anime, I gotta give it to the original creator Kanzaki, Kurone for not using the usual good guy always lucky hero kind of character and instead opted fro a somewhat anti-hero older guy who would pass as a Mafia Boss, in fact this would be one of those unique anime where the main character is a mafia boss who has two henchmen (one of which is a woman) for this anime and not limited to a harem. Unfortunately, he was still this usual always lucky guy whom the original creator wanna play safe with so this still qualifies as a generic anime, so, here's how I rate this:
Story- Mediocre 5: Isn't it obvious, guy playing a game and gets transported in that game and that's fucking that.
Art-Good 7: Well, seeing some o…

** Contains some spoiler**
well how to describe this anime, " it is little different from other isekai anime."
as far when it comes to a iseka anime what we see and get is that the MC is transferred to another world and start his new journey and trains him self to become stronger, and for his great work and fight he is called hero, savior ect. ect. or what we some time get is - a overpowered a hero is get summon in a new world to save it from demolition. There are many isekai anime that we have seen and after watching those all we are still getting something little different here.
The Protagonist who is a gamer gets sucked into one of his game at last day of its sever closing time.
and what he noticed that he has became the character of his game HAKUTO KUNAI which he used to play and to…

Maou-sama, Retry! (2019)
This series is actually quite good for an Isekai because although it isn't very different from our main protagonist being overpowered insanely it is played out a bit better. This time although our main character has massive strength that makes most fights laughably easy overall the MP has got weaknesses he is going to try and prevent from hurting him. This is unusual since normally if any weakness it is not very major. The story itself has a nice flow and does cover good content in a good flow.
The art used is not anything special but then it is also good for what you are watching and offers little wrongdoings.
The sound in the series is also good, the battles have really good music and sound which is defined really well. General sound including voice acting a…

This is one of the Worst Isekai Animes ive ever watched, let alone, one of the worst Animes ive ever watched. However, what else can you expect from EKACHI EPILKA? It's not like this studio has a big name for itself already but surely they could've done a better job.
The art-style is probably one of the worst i've ever seen, the only thing unique being how poor it is.
The sounds where honestly not that bad but the music was dreadful. The OP was alright as I've got to give credit where credit is due.
Honestly, after watching this can anyone tell me what the plot is? The last episode was a bunch of fan-service with no connection what so ever. I probably wasn't paying attention but from what I was watching I couldn't ever say to myself: "Oh yeah, that made sense".
The Characters weren't the…

The story is pointless and by the last episode i had totally forgotten that this show had any plot whatsoever.
The art is atrocious and there is like a single decently animated scene on the whole show.
The rest of the time there are some horrendous zoom out's that make everyone look like stick drawings or scenes in which the characters faces are drawn like some shitty comic.
There is a fucking scene with a fat dude masturbating ffs.
The sound is repetitive as hell and i could not remember a single piece of OST even if someone payed me for.
Also most of the dialogue is made entirely on the single defining trait of the character.
Most characters are entirely one dimensional (except Queen god i love Queen i wish she would step on me).
But god damn if this piece of trash isnt unironically…

So why would I give this anime a rating of 7 overall, meaning that I find it good, while it mostly is cliche?
The reason of it is the anime has embraced it so much that it became funny instead of trying to be good it became cliche, so cliche that it became funny... Yes this anime made me laugh made me enjoy those 20 minutes every Wednesday, it didn't have an epic story, the characters were simple, the budget was not high, the effects were nothing new often even bad, and yade yade yada...
anime should not have top notch quality, the best story ever written, the best voice actors ever lived, the best art that was ever created to be good, it needs those to be outstanding, to be a masterpiece...
But a good anime is one where the person watching it can enjoy the time they spent on it. And I…

The floodgate of isekai anime continues to remain open and from it, more and more isekai gets introduced every year. The latest entry to join this long list is Maou-sama Retry! (Demon Lord, Retry!) Let me just say that the fantasy and adventure genre seems to have some sort of marriage relationship with isekai. Almost every one of these tends to drop a protagonist into some unknown world and we follow their adventure. The idea of that world being connected to an MMROPG is recycled idea used over and over again.
At first glance, this show may evoke some memories for those who are familiar with the Overlord franchise or that ridiculous ecchi show called “Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu” from Summer 2018. What do all three have in common? The lead protagonist becomes a “Demon…

Don't waste your time.
I'm generally pretty tolerant of tropes and standard isekai plots, but I could barely stomach this series. The only reason I managed to reach the final episode of the season is unyielding stubbornness, and I deeply regret not giving up sooner.
The plot goes absolutely nowhere for every single episode. The main character wanders about aimlessly, finds people who are jobbing to monsters or "powerful" opponents, and defeats them effortlessly so people can worship him. When he's not doing that, he's collecting a loli harem and doing poor, meandering world-building that doesn't really teach you anything about the world itself (I assume this is to encourage reading of the light novels, a common tactic of LN-to-anime adaptations, but that doesn't help the anime's score at…
