Despite not recommending it, I would totally recommend it if you wanted to spend an evening watching slop, which is exactly what my friend and I wanted to do.
There are many problems with this anime, mainly concerning the setting. Merging sci-fi and fantasy is difficult, and the anime did not do it well. Students are sent to fight in dungeons with classic fantasy equipment, but then in the next moment, they are fighting duels with Gundam-style battle suits. Despite having this technology, the flying jet skis require magic to actually fly. The world being a collection of floating islands was interesting, though, as it meant airships were necessary for maneuvering.
Another aspect of the world's setting that makes absolutely no sense is how this world is a matriarchy? Every person in power…

Sometimes you find a great story, great characters, nice animation and all that... is ruined by just one character, a character so annoying, a character so unnecesary, a character you could remove and the story could've been not only more interesting, not only more straightforward, but just plain better... in this case, that character for me is Olivia.
When i started watching the story i find it interesting, i liked the concept and how was it being develop, but from the first moment she appeared immediately i knew she was just gonna ruin something and the story was gonna be a mess because of her. Not only she has the worst type of personality where she doesnt understand her position and HAS to have an opinion in everything, also HAS to talk in every freaking situation when she shouldnt an…

One of the best anime I've watched in a long time.
The premise doesn't do this show justice. Leon does get trapped in a game that he played, however the game has deviated from the one he knows. It's not by a lot and certain events still happens, but it's different enough that makes it interesting.
So what makes this anime so good? LEON. This MC is awesome. He does what he wants and says what he wants. It's refershing to see an MC with actual PERSONALITY. Don't get me wrong though- Leon is still very kind. His goal is still to be a mob character, however through unforseen events he has to make decisions for him and his friends happiness. In short, Leon is a wild, but thoughtful man. I absolutely love him as the MC.
It's not just Leon though. Almost all the characters are good. Angelica…

This is just an anti patriarchal propaganda anime.
Anime finds every excuse to include propaganda and dehumanizing men.
If such anime was created about women. The world will be in turmoil. This is just a weird premise to take. Didn't like it.
Maybe it’s just me who found it like this.. Others might just take it as just another anime topic or premise. But I just couldn't look past it.
The anime might have taken another route along the way but the starting pissed me off so much I quit watching past 5-6 episode.
And the things they discriminate about is so generic and predictable clearly trying to paint the normal patriarchy as evil and trying to make this anime world the opposite. But, in doing so they are exaggerating too much.
The characters are bland the Main character too. A basi…

It’s trash, but the kinda trash that’s hard to stop watching. Equal parts dumpster fire and trainwreck, this anime is a mess of convoluted plots, one-dimensional characters, and awful animation.
It’s the perfect anime to watch slightly drunk while bored on a saturday night.
To be honest, it really doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. I don’t even know why I’m recommending it or how it could possibly have gotten greenlit for a second season. It’s probably the beer.
Anyway, only watch this if you’ve literally exhausted all other isekai and you’re trying to decide between this and something like “in another world with my smartphone”. It’s better than that.

Listen, it may not have the strongest story or beginning for that matter. But particularly the dub is hilarious. I was thoroughly entertained because the main character is absolutely based and is funny as hell, so much so that I would watch it again for the laughs. You can try and act like a stuck up food critic all you want, but the story doesn’t have to be great for it to be a solid and enjoyable anime. It just had to make up for it in other ways, which it absolutely did. The protagonist is definitely the most memorable character, and the art style is nothing to complain about but not spectacular either. Overall, I enjoyed Otome and you will too, give it a good shot.

I hate reviews, they tend to sound really pretentious and Im not smart enough to express my thoughts properly. But I feel pretty strongly about this one and I'm afraid some people might just dismiss it based on the synopsis.
My reviews are based solely off of enjoyment.
This was a show that caught me off guard. I didnt really know what to expect going in. But it ended up being a show I really enjoyed. Majority of every episode had me grinning ear to ear. I really love the MC and Luxiem. Theyre both great characters. It was a lot of fun. Give it a few episodes. I'd reccomend at least getting to episode 5 if you can before giving up on it. That may be a big ask but for me that was when I was invested in the characters. I wont tell you its the best at anything in particular. But there was…

Another trashy isekai anime, this time under the guise of being trapped in an otome game setting.
Like many poorly written light novels, the title serves as both a short summary, and to describe a gimmick to make you interested in the series. Otherwise, how else would you discern it from the hundreds of other isekai series? Just like most works that follow this approach though, the title ends up having nothing to do with the series.
This is supposedly a story about a mob character trapped in an otome game, hence the title. However, the protagonist ceases to be a "mob" character after the first episode. He is suddenly incredibly rich, and has some cheat AI supporting him that can basically do whatever he wants it to do. He is a typical, modern isekai protag.
So the mob setting disappears…

With no budget to speak of, consigned by many to the guilty pleasure dumpster, 'Trapped in a Dating Sim' delivers an excellent fantasy adventure with action, drama, comedy, and romance, along with giant robot suits, surprise marriage proposals, pirate airships, race-track gambling, and high-stakes tea parties. Defying expectations, it's one of the best shows of the season: that's the value of consistently good writing.
The hero, being trapped in a dating sim, is thrust into conflicts of love, money, war, and class, some of which cannot even be resolved by beating people up in a giant robot suit. Many of them can, though, and the action scenes are exciting, despite the cheap animation, because we care about the characters, who stand to gain or lose a great deal in this surprisingly credibl…

Not everyone will like this, there are people who don't like Isekai, who won't like it just because it's an isekai, or the OP protag trope, or just the general setting/premise.
In terms of setting this feels like Next Life As A Villainess, but in terms of characters this is closer to Ixion Saga DT.
The MC reminds me of Kirito from SAO Abridged, which is a good thing, he's OP yet has a rotten twisted personality, he hates the world, he hates everyone in the world, he just wants to be able to settle down to a nice quiet life, but most importantly, find a 'good' wife. (Which in this world is easier said than done)
If this series was played straight, or didn't have Leon, this would probably be a 6/10 but this is a whole hearted comedy series, and it is able to hit the mark, and the MC real…

Story (6): The background character steals the main stage of an otome game or visual novel. In itself, the concept is a small twist to the isekai that we already know and the development that it takes is satisfactory within all.
Art (7): It's good, you have to accept it. It does not stand out for its complexity but it is pleasing to the eye.
Sound (7): The music is consistent with all situations and the voices of the actors convey the personality of the characters.
Characters (8): I really like that the main characters are not the stereotype of the perfect Hero in personality. He is lovable despite his flaws.
Meanwhile, the other characters show an evolution that is appreciated and makes them more interesting than being just what they seemed to prove to be at first.
Enjoyment (7): I li…

The beauty of this anime is its ability to be predictable. It is exactly what you expect, a power fantasy isekai with a slight hint of harem/romance. Its humor is very obvious and predictable like it already told you the punch line before even starting the joke. Not all animes need to be deep and thought provoking in order for it to be good.
The story is almost like any other isekai, the main character (usually a NEET/Gamer) dies in some way, wakes up in a new world and already knows all about the world because of their previous life. Then somehow they go about getting OP because of that knowledge and then Bazinga! They are at a school with a bunch of cute girls. If I had to say one thing that set it apart, it would be that the main character is not actually the main character, but actual…

Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu or Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs, it may be a run of the mill anime about guy getting transported in an alternate universe, but here it was guy to got trapped in a dating game. But unlike those run of the mill isekai game theme fantasy adventure, this one was a bit different given that the guy didn't started as this top jock rather he started as a low rate noble that has to be treated like shit by his upper class relatives but things turns around give that he has already played the game before so basically he has the experience after long hours playing front of a game console , cu'z his siter was just too lazy to finish the game. Now given that he is a mob character in that game world, he basically alters…

With an anime season full of surprises, this one might've surprised me the most. I genuinely thought that Trapped in a Dating Sim was going too bad, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the show carried itself throughout. Now I will say it's not perfect and I have my gripes with it, but overall it was really enjoyable, and anyone that like isekai should definitely give it a try.

Now I am not gonna lie, the art and animation were really average at best. The character design is a little rough and the action scenes could've been animated better, but on the bright side the rest of the show makes up for it.
Sound: 8

So I completed this show and im really surprised how much I enjoyed Otome game Isekai, that concept might sounds weird but trust me, im really not a fan of mechs but that show is fire!
Story (8/10)
Plot is only kinda decent but the concept is really insane, look most of people play mobile games this days and it obvious have microtransactions, so just imagine how fun it would be to summoned to your favorite game with your pay2win content.
Art (8/10)
Well well, mechs and objects are mostly handly animated with some really rare 3d exceptions. I really enjoy animation in this anime, its kinda unique.
Sound (7/10)
Music its just climatic, I have never had problem with it in this show.
Character (10/10)
MCs in my opinion are really good in this show, Leon personality might be harsh sometimes but…

Look, the manga is good. The adaptation, though… could have been better. And not only because of the obvious, ugly CGI from the latest episodes.
"The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs" is centered around Leon, the ultimate asshole that was reincarnated in his sister's dating sim game. Luckily for him, he's just a mob character, so he doesn't have to deal with the male harem of the game, which he hates; after all, they are just a bunch of useless and utterly annoying pretty boys. So he thought; yet, he is forced to go to the nobles' academy from the game, so he can avoid literally dying.
Oh, and… in this world, women seem to hold the power.
The anime follows the basic "reincarnated as a mob in an otome game" formula: the MC wants to live their lives comfortably, yet they become inv…

Eh, Katsuragi Keima got you beat every day of the week at dating sims Leon… just saying.
Well, anyways, here’s your isekai about the protagonist tripping and falling down a set of stairs, only to be isekai’ed into the dating sim that he just beat, but this dating sim is a matriarchy, so he’s not overpowered at all, he’s actually a background character in a dating sim, except he has background knowledge of the game, so actually, he is overpowered after all. The show is pretty shallow overall, the politics, fights, and plot are all pretty mediocre, but the thing that stands out is the smugness of the protagonist (still not as smug as that Anya face though).
My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20

As you imagine, a title like this will spark and make you scratch your head about what to expect. It's essentially about a guy who reincarnates into a world where women reigns supreme. Being a mob, or otherwise a background character, main protagonist Leon plays his life like a game as he's trapped in this dating sim world.
At first, it wasn't easy to figure out exactly what this anime is trying to be. An isekai otome harem? A fantasy school drama? Or one of those wild unpredictable stories carved from the author's wild imaginations? One thing is for sure is the anime follows a recurring trend we've seen countless times in these recent years: reincarnation. Whether he likes it or not, Leon is reincarnated and more importantly, trapped in a world where women rules all. He is pretty much a…

You gotta be kidding me...another studio ENGI ugly-ass production values with an all-too-familiar setting and a crude story that works? What kind of world are we living in that we can pass bad production for good stories?
More often than not, reality hits harder than expectations, and novelist Yomu Mishima's Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu a.k.a MobuSeka is just exactly that: a HameFura rip-off, but replace the female villainness lead with someone who's not even the main character, who's literally: Trapped in a Dating Sim, with the world of the Otome Game being tough for mobs a.k.a background characters. And since this is a novel that started in Syosetu that lasted from 2017 to 2019, that expanded into the LN and manga versions of the novel, it's safe to say that what came…

Otome game is exactly the sort of generic isekai Power fantasy trash that everyone seems to hate. You know you have seen many of these before, there is a formula and a bit of a twist.
An isekai fan’s needs are easy to fulfill and are fulfilled quite faithfully in this anime this is an easy recommendation if you need any of the following.
1)OP protag who is relatively likable (But not distinct enough so that one can self-insert).
2)Harem, big tids, and beautiful chics. Not dense MC
3)Good worldbuilding but should also be a world that favors MC heavily.
4)Mecha (the twist)
5)harbinger of gender equality (shows no mercy to crazy fucks, male or female).
This is exactly the kind of fodder we isekai fans need to continue staying in our caves.
But if you want an actually competently produced sh…
