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…

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…

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.

I'll try to keep this spoiler free, as such I'll stick to things that were established in the first episode.
I'm going to start with the positives.
I like the concept behind this, it's trying to take the standard hero isekai and turn it on its head.
Our heroes are incredibly weak, and the MC is given the useless non-combat profession of farmer, and they also quickly learn that as long as one of them survives, they can die over and over again without any disadvantage, reviving almost instantly (after 20 seconds) which they then use to their advantage.
I also kind of like one of the characters in this, but it's a side character who appears later on, otherwise I find the characters to be bland or just unlikable.
Which brings me to the negatives,
The characters, I am just not that intereste…

I'm Standing on a Million Lives is a show that suffers from the many issues other Isekai shows are plagued with. A high school boy who is dissatisfied with reality and would rather live in the virtual world is hardly an original concept, and with the rest of the cast being as forgettable as the MC himself, I just couldn't invest myself into these characters and their goals.
While there were some interesting aspects of the show such as the Game Master character and the way characters gained power was unique, the story itself and the quest that characters go one were not interesting enough to carry the show, and alongside the bland characters watching the show became a chore.
The show is passable art and sound wise. The show looked fine and the music was serviceable, but there wasn't anyt…

100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru
-------------------------------------
Story - 2
This is one of the most boring plots in anime that I have ever watched. The only watchable episode was the first. It all went downhill from there. Almost nothing in this anime is even remotely original. Other unoriginal anime make up for this with interesting characters or cool art, but this anime has neither of those. The main character is transported into another world with classes and abilities. His starting class is a farmer and he's disappointed, as would be expected. Even if this concept is insanely boring, they didn't have to absolutely butcher it in the way that they did.
Art - 4
Considering this was aired in October 2020, the art and animation were mediocre. I'm aware that the characters'…

Story(8) - realistic, fantasy action - to my liking
Art(8) - to my liking and my requirements aren't very high
Enjoyment(10) - The philosophical side, the characters, the fantasy and the action made a very enjoyable anime for me
Character(9) - because of the realistic side of the anime we got a very realistic characters
Sound(7) - wasn't bad, wasn't that good but was made good in other scenes(isn't memorable for me except for the OP and ED)
Overall(9) - the story is the cap of tea for me and it helped me gain some insights
*go to the story open minded(a tip for life in general)
I personally really like this anime, i have read the manga before and they both have their strong point.
In the manga the story is set in a different darker tone but the anime changed it and it's reasonable for t…

Well well well! 100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru... I have mixed feelings on this.
Story: 6/10
In terms of unique story, this is not it. An Isekai anime with very unoriginal and overused ideas for the most part. However, the ending, to me, was amazing! Totally steered from my original expectations, and raised the score a lot. I really really like the realisation from Yotsuya about his actions and the consequences. Really developed his character a lot. I am excited for season 2 due to this ending alone!!
Art: 7/10
The art style was pretty, though the animation was cheap. The scenery, however, was beautiful! I loved looking at it and there was never a dull scene.
Sound: 9/10
Aah!! The opening and ending songs for this anime were phenomenal! Beautiful songs that I would love to h…

When i was watching it i thought this was a mediocre anime...
in fact I skipped a bunch of it sometimes
Until you reach the last 5 minutes of the anime and think about everything he has been doing and how that relates to what he has done
then rewatch it if you need to...
and let that sink in for a minute. Actually comprehend what the Mc just said.
WHAT THE FUCK AMAZING ANIME 10/10!!!!
JUst Cause of that ending i swear
I highly recommend if you you're patient, you overthink things too much and you like being mindfucked

What can I say, this was probably the original creator's , Yamakawa, Naoki's worse creation after his successful series "My Hone Hero" and this was probably studio, Maho film's worse choice to give this series an anime adaptation, cu'z as of today this anime is standing over a lotta bad reviews...It was merely just a quintessential isekai for this Fall of 2020, dang I hope that Covid 19 be over by next year. so WTF is the Fuck about this anime????:
Story- Pathetic 1: I gave it such score, cu'z though it can be classified as cliché, they actually made the story plot go from mediocre to worse , when you have what suppose to be the usual isekai, turns out to be something were the setting was somewhat there were two earths in existence both spaces that were overlapping and then you have some…

First of all, the thing I love about this anime is the unique story. Once again we get a isekai story, and maybe a lot of people are bored with it and immediately give a story like this bad marks. But, putting aside the slightly random story and animation work that I think is lacking (stiff graphics, etc.), this anime is still worth enjoying.
I don't know how the story revolves at the source (manga) and just watching the anime leaves me still shrouded in mystery about the story in this anime. But that's not a bad thing, the more curious the audience, the more they want to know what happening next. However, indeed, there are many repetitions of the past of the characters that I think are going to be made a mystery, but instead seem unclear about the purpose of expressing them.

The most important stuff at the start:
I watched the first episode of this and thought it was a parody, like Konosuba. Since I liked the intro I started reading the Manga and OH BOY DOES IT GET GOOD!
Sadly this first season never reached those "good" parts. What you can see in those 12 Episodes is merely the introduction to a story, that goes very into detail about society, politics and consequences of your actions. But since this is a review for those 12 Episodes and not what comes after it:
- You have very endearing characters and some you are meant to - and will - hate. The male Protagonist is a little edgelord, but pretty decent otherwise. The first girl is kinda capeable, the second girl is the heart of the team and the fourth teammate that joins after the first adventure is a litt…

Yotsuya Yuusuke is a boy that started to hate everyone after an event that happened to him in his childhood (nothing special), so now he is a gamer who prefer to play solo and doesn't care about anyone but himself (generic). Here coms the perverted gamemaster and forces him to play with others in a game were there life is on the line (heard this a thousand time).
The first ep starts somewhat good but nothing really interesting happens through out the whole anime. The only good ep is the last in my opinion but from what I saw about the second season its not that exiting. If you want to watch it just because you like the iskia genre go for it, but don't get expect anything good

overall score: -high four- (4.8)
This is probably the biggest disappointment this year. It had such a unique concept and a unique promise. But the way the show executes it is just horrible.
From how they introduce each character and how the world plays out is just to generic. From when they first start there journey to how they end there journey just doesn't add up. The way things are going from one thing to another is pretty rushed and had plenty of Bullshit plot armour.
it feels like when you made a apple juice but decided to add broccoli and whip cream on top of it, which makes it disgusting and doesn't make sense. this show had so many potential but none of it came through. it's not everyday you can see a edgy MC with a class farmer as a hero which made the show unique as i was say…

The show had felt quite generic and predictable, feeling similar to many other isekai out there. The characters act a bit cringingly and there isn't significant action involved in the show.
The show felt like a solid 6/10, something which was simply fun to watch only because there wasn't something better to do at the time.
However, the final episode on its own was done in an exceptional manner. Even though each episode until that point felt shallow and very simple, they build up quite nicely for the final episode, revealing a deeper character aspect for the overall generic protagonist.
There is a second season confirmed, so I hope we see the show improving further through it.

When I read the title of this anime, I imagine that the show would be the complete opposite of what was presented to me. 100-man chose me to be an anime that would have content involving fantasy and isekai, but that perhaps would create some element focused on battle royale. Why did I find that? Well, when you look at an opening in which a badass man becomes the only one alive in a pile of dead, it is evident that something happens by gigantic. But the show is deceiving, it does not develop a war, nor does it leave the comfort zone of the generic isekais that we see every season. Incidentally, 100-man is the bad isekai this time.
Basically, 100-man tells a normal story, without much news, but that creates a concept that I admit I liked. When it comes to isekai, we imagine a complex of sev…

To be honest, I really want to commend this show for doing something different in the oversaturated space of the overly generic Isekai medium, but as it stands, it fell short of expectations when things were only starting to get better. But then again, it's one of those "go read the source material" shitty settings that I'm honestly very tired of and lament in the usual practice of marketing, but in this case, it's for a VERY GOOD reason. Why and how is that so? Let's take it from the top.
As far as Isekai standards go, 100-man does showcase the usual tropes and clichés, but further down the road, it becomes something that takes the same concept and flips it around on its own shell, making for a boring world somewhat unique on its own. It starts off as the stereotypical Isekai type of sho…
