The main character gets rejected by the goddess... then immediately becomes stronger than almost everyone else.
The main character is overpowered, surrounded by loyal followers, and eventually builds a harem without even trying.
The side characters exist mainly to praise the MC and remind you how amazing he is instead of having personalities of their own.
The story keeps jumping from one side quest to another with almost no real tension or long-term stakes.
It's boring as fuck. Every arc follows the same formula, the fights are predictable, and once the first episode is over, it becomes another generic isekai.

The kingdom builder isekai without the wait. 7/10
TL:DR; Slime's ramp without the pesky need for realism. The power fantasy from [enter favorite isekai here]. It even has waifus - without the Re:Monster filth. This is a great alternative to Reincarnated as a Slime if it felt too happy-go-lucky and Isekai Slow Life if it felt too shallow. Effectively, you see a lot of known tropes, but they're adopted in a way that really feels different.
The Review:
At a high level, this is a great option for those looking to dive into a world and find out what would happen if you could build a kingdom in a vacuum. It's funny and has some nice running gags with very unique waifus. And when I say unique, I mean we've got a wholesome group of girls that are drawn to the MC because they appreciate his val…

How are bad anime on MAL so highly rated?
The Good:
Feel good, entertaining, funny at times.
The Bad:
Incredibly predictable, terrible characters, no depth to the story, animation and art.
I'll give this a 5 because it made me laugh and kept me a little entertained. Nah, 4 is what it deserves. Art and Animation: 3/10
Quality is poor, many freeze frames to show "action". Clearly the budget was low or they overworked animators.
Music: 3/10
Some pieces are clearly random popular OST tracks but with certain notes changed to slightly alter it so as not to sound like a copy.
Others, well, I don't remember them.
Characters: 3/10
They aren't human and they don't act human -- not even the demons and demi-humans. Also, super shallow, and all important girls want to do things to MC. Even enemies…

- This is a vanilla isekai series.
- There are no new concepts and the animation is pretty average.
- The MC has god like powers and was summoned to the world to defeat the demon king, tho he'd rather like to challenge the goddess of the world.
- The only "handycaps" for MC are human language and his ugly face.
- The side characters are over all not the brightest candles on the cake.
- At least all characters have had some kind of character developement, even if it's over all just superficial, like getting more conficence or being more sensitive after some time.
- It has its hilarious comedy moments tho
- not recommended for people who are fed up with isekai
- recommended for everyone who needs a show that's easy to follow while doing the laundry.

Another Isekai anime where the protagonist is practically a God, he can do and destroy whatever he wants; after being summoned to another world because of his parents, he gains supreme abilities, but the Goddess considers Makoto ugly and banishes him to a desert region, where he begins his journey in this new world, after his encounter with Ema.
The protagonist is a character with superficial development, without any enemies that put him at risk, he also follows the cliche of the hero who arrives in the other world and builds his own city without any difficulty, and the harem that cannot be missed, with two beautiful waifus and other options available, Makoto is not interested in any of them and the interaction between them is terrible; the comic relief comes from the interaction between…

The main character is an ordinary otaku high school student.
The main character is stronger than everyone else, has a harem.
The side characters are self-righteous, shameless, and brainless.
Events occur suddenly and the story lacks smoothness.
It's extremely boring and has clichéd comedy, with the music making the events even more tedious.
Ordinary event :
Bad Person: "I am a very evil being who has lived for hundreds of years; my magic is extremely powerful... Taste my magic."
MC: "Hmm, this magic doesn’t work on me because I’m immune, and so on..."
Bad Person: "Aaaahhhh, who is this, so powerful, it can’t be... (dies)"

For context, I'm writing this after re-watching the series after watching the first half of the second series.
I will preface this by saying I like this anime overall however for Season 1 it is a poorly executed adaptation, so much so that Season 2 had to go back and try and fix many of the things that Season 1 messed up.
Overall the series is fun, it has interesting concepts that allow it to stay fresh and stand out from the masses, the characters are likable, however season 1 doesn't give enough time to develop them, this is a common issue with season 1, it doesn't give time to anything.
The story is horribly paced, everything is so rushed and even without reading the source material I can tell that huge amounts have been skipped over to 'save time' which is such a baffling decision by…

tl;dr: An anime that’s a lot of fun but is moving really slowly in progressing or fleshing out anything of substance.
Tsukimichi is an isekai that’s plays with a lot of the standard tropes of the genre, though not quite to the point that it becomes a parody. The protagonist Misumi Makoto, in standard isekai fashion, was summoned by the goddess of another world to serve as a hero to fight against demons. However, upon the goddess actually seeing him, she calls him hideous and punts him off to the edge of the world. Thankfully, even though the goddess of the new world he arrived at turned out to be a bitch, the god of his old world had his back and gave Makoto all the power he could muster. That combined with a few other factors result in Makoto fitting quite well into the typical overpower…

"Tsuki ga MIDchi" (Anime Onlys)
Butchered. C2C's adaptation here just doesn't cut it for what the author deserved.
The Big Problem - How the Plot and pacing was handled.
If you watch it for yourself, read the reviews or even read some of the source material, the general sentiment is that, the show's best moments lack emphasis, or any staying power. 12 episodes were simply not enough to flesh out the breadth and depth of this story.
The pacing is just awful. Too fast, too many cuts too many plot points left hanging unexplained. Poor pacing breaks the golden immersion factor. The type of captivation which abducts the viewer forcing them endlessly through scores of episodes. The best examples for me are shows like FMAB, or Death note. Which I finished over 2 days, completely neglecting the…

Loved it!! So very much so!
I stumbled upon this by accident so I went in without any expectations and goddamnit, it got me from episode 1! The world-building, power scaling, and power systems were brilliant. And props to Kei Azumi for giving the character the ability to name ad create variations of his own powers - thought that was a brilliant touch actually. Also loved how meta Makoto gets.. and how he trolls classic isekai tropes. But above all, my favorite thing about this anime is badass moments of my dude, Makoto dispensing kai, GODDAMN! And the fact that there's so few battle scenes of him showcasing his bad-assery makes it even more enjoyable cause it leaves you wanting more. Season 1 ends on such a high and badass note, I can't wait to see the second season. Truly can't recommend…

Just the usual trash anime. A geek comes to another world an is OP. It is sad to see that this is what appeal to most people that are watching anime, but it does show that the Japanese people knows their key audience.
Make a "relatable" character, cheep comedy and give the MC alot of anime girls. Then the young audience can live their twisted fantasy of being popular with the lady.
If the show at least had some originality, but there is really nothing. If you are new to anime this show will probably be a good watch for you, but if you are looking after something different, then this is a wast of your time. There are other anime`s out there, that in my oppinion, does what this one tryies to do, and they do it alot better.

Indifferent. It wasn't bad but it was so painfully bland. Everything lacked weight behind it and there were a lot of elements that felt like they were just thought up on the spot on added. 70% is just autism. The classic anime syndrome where characters act retarded like no human would actually behave themselves in real life. It's literally like the whole showed rellied on dumb moments to carry it. I thought it showed promise but nah, it stayed bland almost all the way through. The quality is relatively good. Watch if you are bored and desperate, there are plenty of much much better animes out there.

A lot of people seemed to be hyped up for Tsukimichi, the story that reportedly paved the way for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Unfortunately having watched it, it seems that whatever it was trying to do, Slime, and other shows, have clearly done it better.
The summary is that this is an OP-MC, Civilisation-Builder Isekai, with a sort-of harem and some curveballs for the lead, Makoto. For example, although he is indeed hugely overpowered right from the start the Goddess who seems to be in charge decides he is too ugly to deserve to live with her hyumans (sic) and sends him to the middle of nowhere, denying him use of the native human language as added insult.
The supposed ugliness doesn't seem to matter to the non-humans he interacts with and he decides to wear a mask when dea…

tl;dr konosuba but worse. A lot worse.
There are a few tried and true formulations for a good isekai. For starters you can have an OP main character like Tensura or Overlord, relatively balanced MC with some special skill like Log Horizon or Danmachi, or a completely underpowered MC, like Konosuba or Kusoge. Your second choice is the difficulty, from pushovers such as Demon Academy Misfit to impossible difficulty like Grimgar and Re:Zero. And of course you choose overall tone of the show, then the size of your harem, those on a serious/comedy axis and a loner/ottoman axis. I digress.
In the first 10 seconds Tsukimichi tells you that it's unique. Let's examine this claim. In this show we have an OP MC, basically Rimuru but human. We don't have a lot of real challenge; most everything goes…

Recommendation: A solid comedy series for most of its runtime until one of the most ill-conceived dark twists you'll ever see burns an entire season's worth of goodwill in half an episode. Almost worth watching just to see what a mess the writer turns this thing into by the end of the season, but I can't actually recommend it just for that. Contains spoilers for the final 2 episodes
Story: Tsukimichi follows Makoto, an ordinary high school kid, as he is taken to a standard isekai fantasy world to fulfill a contract that his parents made with the goddess of that world when they went to the human world. Only the goddess decides that he is too ugly to be her champion and banishes him to the wasteland, where he picks up allies and harem members among the demi-human residents. And that's kind…

An anime that undoubtedly surprised me because despite having a main character, it is very original at the beginning. , it is very original to my perception the same for its reception the goddess made it by ugly, in which isekai have we seen a protagonist who is not wapo? There is not and that gives a plus to the work, the work from the beginning to the end surprised me I create a city of monsters (tension) without his consent xd but he governs it and does not look for wars or adventures, just create his company and that's it. I love it, I was never bored
The main character is very good and I reach her peak when I kill the woman because of the hatred of the moment that makes you see that she is not just any flat protagonist, she is someone who hates her and I cry when I kill her that make…

Tsukimichi is a very messy anime. Yet, it works. It's funny, it's enjoyable, it has good twists on the tropes in it and relatable characters. It's actually pretty damn good. The only complain I have would be the possessive harem trope, which I really hate, but that's not such a big problem given all the good parts about it.
The premise sounds interesting, and altough it's not really something new since it's more like a mashup of tropes with ocasional twists, it isn't boring at all and it actually lives up to the expectations. The MC ends up in a different world (yet not after dying, like the usual), but the goddess of the world in question ends up hating him and trying to torment him because he's "ugly". She sends him in a deserted place full of monsters only, and he has to work his way f…

An enjoyable isekai that makes you think of the good aspects of other shows. Imagine the comedy style of Konosuba, world building of Slime (on speedrun), power fantasy like Overlord, and a bit of dark aspects like Re:Zero.
The MC has a meme harem with a couple of waifus that have unique and quirky personalities. The plot progresses rapidly and the world is established quickly. Supporting characters are added to the story without having to wait a full "arc" on them.
Production wise, the animation has good quality, the art style is nice, the character designs feel unique and you can perceive the artists put a lot of attention to details. OP and ED songs fit the show nicely as well.
If I had to be nit-picky, my only grips with the show were that the running gag of the MC considering himsel…

You ever got into trouble at school and put into detention for something ludicrous? First phase is the denial, then comes the anger. That sort of reminds me of the reaction I got after watching Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu. Yes, this show is a ludicrous anime adaptation.
To the surprise of probably no one, Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu's anime announcement was about as inevitable as any other popular light novel in these years. Kei Azumi's light novel takes place in a fantasy world inspired by the endless isekai trend. Here, we have a boy named Makoto Misumi who gets summoned to a world by the God Tsukuyomi. After realizing his ugly appearance, he gets banished into a Wasteland realm. The catch is that Makoto is gifted with powerful abilities and it doesn't take long to start gai…

Isekai by itself is a huge genre spanning lots of good and bad iterations, but parody series like KonoSuba's are really far and few in-between just to shake up the AniManga scene by sheer, pure undulated mockery of its tried-and-true genre of many sorts. And Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu is one of those works where strangely, there isn't any amount of hype and marketing prowess behind it. But if there's one thing I want to make it clear about this show, is that I can guarantee that this is one of the low-key better Isekai shows of the Summer season.
Rightaway, put off everything that you've seen of the same Isekai repetitive tropes, because Kei Azumi wants to make that point clear to us that this is a parody, first and foremost. Through the series' central MC Makoto Misumi…
