When going into this anime, especially considering other animes of similar premise, I didn't expect what I ended up seeing.
This anime is a surprisingly alright watch.
Characters: I think the characters here aren't robotic enough to be enjoyable; this means, having behaviors resembling actual thinking persons, as supposed to reacting, and acting in typical anime fashion, e.g., character tastes food, after which there's a pause, and then they say "oishiiii". The male MC, in his "cardboardness" I found him interesting, yeah he is strong and also lacking much expression, but there's an actual plot explanation for that, which I considered funny and entertaining personally. While he doesn't react much, he does have smart dialogue, takes initiative in situations, has his own opinions on things…

A very great show about a guy who got an "instant death" skill (along with a couple of other skills, actually).
Design is really good (I loved the strokes, skin tone, blush/fear effects, etc.), humor is omnipresent (even among some villains), characters are interesting... It is "a bit" like Psychi K. (how OP yet casual the MC is), except it does not happen in our world and therefore revolves less around typical "realistic" issues, but rather gaming-like content (a main quest, with fighting, enemies, villains, etc.).
I am so sad that there is not a second season yet! I reaaaally enjoyed this show!
This is painful that MAL is demanding that we add more and more content to our reviews. What I wrote is clearly enough, I am not writing an article nor a book about the show. Just giving my cas…

The power dynamics are messed up. The invincible protagonist is not alien in itself, but here there is no build-up. The villains come and go, and there is no difference in power among them because they are simply eliminated without whatsoever reason, making us feel the protagonist achieved nothing.
Moreover, he is not endearing; apart from his skill, there is no attribute he has other than being lazy and nonchalant. The world is fine, but what's the point if it collapses head over heels without the viewer ever knowing what's happening? Only the objective is slightly clear, and other than that, it's just haywire. Though credit where it is due the show can be a little funny at times and the sheer effort and tropes is slightly enjoyable

So, I was so close to dropping this show right at the start. It was just so stupid. I always hate it in shows where character act/react to things in unrealistic ways, and this show is the epitome. People are dying left and right, and people are for sure not reacting appropriately. I just had to check the discussions on the first episode, and found people saying this show was supposed to be a parody. After that, I got it.
It's just so stupid, but I couldn't stop watching. The trope of the protagonist getting jumped by bandits at night happens, and he's just like, "I guess I'll kill you now." He's constantly interrupting people by just killing them. His nonchalant attitude is very relatable, yet he isn't some sort of villain/edge lord. The other characters are pretty ridiculous as well, but…

This anime is hilarious, and I don’t get what people don’t get when watching it. The title was a huge turnoff for me and so was avoided for mad long but.. wow was I wrong to make assumptions. I can only imagine that the people who hate this had gone in expecting like.. any other average tier isekai out there and were taking it seriously
So what is it that makes it so great? Where do I begin? Essentially the main plot is “OP MC is chill as fuck, but everyone wants to kill him since he’s so OP” or maybe even “People trying so hard to stop the end of the world that they’re inadvertently causing the end of the world”
Despite the ridiculousness of the show, the main characters were some of the best. Actually, they were probably one of the most level headed and rational main characters of th…

Robot-chan best girl, change my mind. This anime is about the most OP character ever, you can't kill him, but he can end everything in existence. Nickname: Waifu-kller. If you want to find new waifus, this anime is not for you; 99% of all waifus will die.
You will not understand the story at all, they skip almost every piece of information from the LN. The characters are mid, basically, the whole anime survives only thanks to the power of the END, which is the power of the MC to end anything.
You can watch it if you want to see MC that doesn't give a fuck and just kill everything that doesn't appeal to his eye. As somebody said, it's the best type of garbage anime.

A proper Isekai with super natural elements and comedy.
Trigger Warning: The series kills people (including classmates and gods) like its just a comedy routine. Some may find it offensive.
Plot
An entire class is summoned to Isekai and granted gifts (powers), so that some of them can become "sages". But 4 were not granted gifts and abandoned by the rest of the classmates. Two of them are killed by a dragon and when FMC wakes up MC (who has been sleeping through this entire plot), MC kills the dragon instantly. And so starts the adventure of our MC to return to his world. Anything that stands in his way shall be killed instantly.
Review
1. The series is very meta. It refers to a lot of Isekai tropes and the characters directly make jokes on them.
2. The series never takes itself seriou…

Damn dude, this Anime is my favorite isekai after i watched Average isekai anime, This not like another isekai anime wich is have a boring storyline, i can tell this anime have a little fresh content, like a get betrayed from his friends but MC dont care about that (Not like Average mc, choice to Revenge).
according to me,minus of this anime is the Animation Get bad executed,They cut the important part of manga,and no news about this anime get Season 2(I WANT THIS SERIES GET SEASON 2!!!)
About the character,im so confused why mc status with FMC is Girlfriend/boybfriend,its like i need to read the LN😅
i think people will dislike this series,but for me is Masterpiece
(Sorry for bad grammar🥲)

It's bad not because I hate it. It's bad because I couldn't care less what happens.
Here we have the nth take on the isekai genre - this time permutating an entire class getting transported to another world combined with a main character whose overpowered skill is being able to kill anyone, anything and even any concept just by saying the word "die". If that sounds bad - yes it does.
It's not so much the poor animation, stop-start pacing or even the storyline itself - it's the sheer quality of the characters, or lack thereof, and the sheer quantity of them getting thrown at you every other minute in each and every episode. Characters get shown on screen, their names get flashed, their voice actors get to shine with a few lines, and then they die. Like literally within minutes, sometimes…

For a gimmick Isekai anime, it was surprising. It didn't feel cliché at all. There are many characters all with different powers, sages and even invaders from "other worlds". Also, the real world is represented, when in many Isekai you barely see it and then forget about it, in fact the MC gets his OP power from the real world and not the Isekai, and I thought this was a very original trope.
Now there are many many deaths and you realize the MC isn't a typical "hero" character but actually a kind of like a roman god that doesn't follow idealistic human morality, another point that is quite original. I really liked too that the real world scientists who know about the MC are terrified of him, basically like he is a horror movie monster, but at the same time he seems to just be a normal kid…

This show is so bad that it’s made me climb out of my swamp-ass-infested gaming chair out of pure testosterone-fuelled rage just to write a review, which is something I don’t normally do.
——— Story: 2/10 ———
The only reason this isn’t getting a 1/10 is because there is some semblance of a story, and I say this out of pure generosity because the string risking life and limb to keep this narrative intact is incredibly thin. It introduces itself as a clear parody of an isekai, and it’s all downhill from there. Countless plot holes, no clear objective to the main story, and multiple sub-stories are just some of the issues. The worst part is that nothing that happens in the story matters. An antagonist shows up? Not to worry, dear viewer, don’t waste your time getting invested in the antagoni…

~~ A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ ~~
Overall Rating: 4/10
----- Reason for watching? -----
Heard of the premise, was morbidly curious
----- Reason for finishing? -----
Was amazed by the ridiculous premise, was morbidly curious to see how long it kept the bit going
----- Story: 2/10 ----- I can safely say that having only just finished the show I've already forgotten most of the major details. In fact I don't think there is a single plot point that interested me or made sense, which in itself is kinda impressive
----- Art: 5/10 -----
Absolutely nothing to say here, it's art arted, and there was certainly animation. Not really bad in any way, but I wouldn't say it was good either
----- Sound: 5/10 -----
There was not a single memorable moment of sound design or OST, which in itself is di…

Sokushi Cheat takes a more extreme approach to the "overpowered protagonist" concept; the protagonist Yogiri Takatou not only never loses, but he also rarely showcases internal conflicts or opinionated goals to work towards. Author Tsuyoshi Fujitaka mentioned in an interview that this is exactly what he wanted to play with — a protagonist who never struggles until the very end. Fujitaka's concept naturally alienates many, for by design there is little to get attached to in the story's journey, and there's essentially no tension. However, this idea has potential to carry out a more lax attitude regardless of the intensity of scenarios. The nature of nothing in existence being able to threaten Yogiri enables him to engage with the fantasy world in a detached and reactive fashion. The most ca…

Summary: Giving a twist on a mess does not make it good, but even worse.
Over ten years of isekai boom, we are all tired of MC's cheat ability. The original novel perhaps tried to criticize those mass-productive isekais by twisting their cliche, but it just created the worst of them.
Many compared the MC's ability as that of Death Note without the note, but that was not the only thing this one lacks of. No thrill or suspense for being caught, no pierce dialogue with an enemy to justify own cause to each other, but just full of hatred and misogyny.
At least, the animation made a great improvement so that most characters got their name tag displayed with short summary when reappear. Since it is very hard to remember those "designed to be killed" mobs.

'My Instant Death Ability' is a fantasy adventure-comedy, an isekai parody, that fails to entertain in any way, on any level: it fails as a fantasy adventure and as a comedy; it fails as an isekai and as a parody. Rushed, vacuous, convoluted, dull, predictable, and most of all forgettable, it is the sort of parody that can make me look back fondly on the parent genre's least beloved entries for the endearing sincerity and simplicity of their incompetence. Come back, 'Reign of the Seven Spellblades', all is forgiven!
Let me say a few words about the genre. It's not unusual for new fantasy series to embroider themselves with isekai kitsch: it's practically a cost of doing business, and it doesn't necessarily harm the story. Going someplace new is an evergreen theme, for Odysseus as much as…

Sokushi Cheat suffers from a classic of an author writing themselves into a corner with a main character that’s too powerful. Most stories evolve into this, but Sokushi Cheat starts there and as such never manages to feel compelling or engaging. If it’s meant to be a deconstruction, it fails to do that either and just feels like a run of the mill isekai.
When you have a main character that can literally kill anyone or anything with one word, the show is always going to struggle to stay interesting. You’ve removed the stakes from the start. At that point, it’s essential that you introduce other characters we can get attached to and give them challenges. If the main character can’t die, at least make us worried that some other fan favourites will. The author fails to do that in this story.…

Trashy isekai with the most busted MC to ever exist.
It fully leans into the most played out tropes and archetypes.
The best thing about this show for me was that you really never know what kind of randomness awaits.
Nothing makes sense, it's incohesive and chaotic. No matter how much anime you've watched you'll have a hard time guessing what kind of ridiculous thing is going to happen next. The story is all over the place but that's not much of an issue as the main draw to this show is the kind of 4th wall breaking comedy.
Animation quality is what you'd expect from a trashy isekai. Watchable but very close to hentai level.
Give it a watch if you have some time to kill.

When you think about isekai surely one of the first things that come to your head is that it has an OP MC. This show is completely about this, about an OP MC killing things, that’s why it’s called Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga aka Instant Death, and just as those other shows where the OP MC makes every single battle uninteresting because they have no stakes, this series is no different, actually, it is even worse because of how Yogiri is designed to be, he is designed to try to be the strongest character, and not just from his own series, the author of this very clearly tries to make Yogiri the strongest when compared to other characters from other shows.
Actually, Instant Death is not a show, it is VS debating brainrot. If you don’…

Saitama kills his enemies with a single blow? Pfft, how about instant death with just a thought?
Superpowers. Superpowers range from the ability to ignite flames in the palm of your hand to the ability to destroy the universe at the snap of a finger. I bet that each of you at one time or another has wondered "what superpower would I want for myself?", I'm sure that most of you will give an answer on the level of "the ability to fly", or "the ability to pass through walls", or "the ability to see through clothes", it depends on how you look at it. But what if I told you that's nothing compared to the ability to kill with your mind? Hell, yes, it's impossible in our harsh real world where there's no trace of magic, but this is I-S-E-K-A-I, everything is real, you can get anything and become…

This anime is the best type of garbage, expected the usual sludge that they pump out every season, 'A normal, average highschooler is yeeted and now he's op. This dense, annoying self insert will now beat people in increasingly boring ways for 12 eps while being surrounded by other annoying characters'. What we got instead is arguably worse, but its a 10/10 on the enjoyment scale. It's the OP protagonist trope taken to its logical extreme, and its just hilarious. It's just junk food anime, OP protag batshit insane no story power fantasy parody, and I love it.
The MC has the depth of a kiddie pool, as generic as it gets, but he is by far the most enjoyable part of the anime. Not a loud ass goody two shoes, dense, 'lets be friends' mc, nor a boring edgy killing machine, a great in between.…
