I’m honestly shocked how much I enjoyed this. It didn’t have the weird isekai trope where the MC was a looser in his past life and now he can become someone cool and powerful in this world. The main character was a millionaire and when he got isekaied decided he was gonna be a millionaire again lol like bro already had it all
That’s not the only trope it broke, there’s technically no harem. Yes there are technically 3 girls (ones a child, ones a femboy teenager and the other is an adult fully clothed women) but there is no weird “omg I love this guy and want to marry him” trope. There was admiration and found family aspect between him and the 3 girls.
The child people mentioned was only sexualized in her adult form once and that was it. The rest of the time she’s sleeping, beating someo…

This was a different angle.
After rising to the top and achieving NEET-dom thanks to some smart investments followed by setting up passive income our hero is Isekaied. Broke and in debt he must now work overtime for da man like the "little people" he used to look down on. Dungeon grunt edition.
The different angle here is that our hero was never a salaryman nor did he have any interest in being one. He was always a hustler, borderline con man and the "don't work hard, just exploit others!" kind of guy.
It's an odd take to have the "hero" of the story use the same exact tactics of exploiting staff and unpaid overtime as big corp does... which is the villain in this anime so... brave choice.
A few things.
1. The show is aware that he is in the wrong and will call him out / punish him…

An isekai anime different from other isekai series, it has a unique sense of humor and is filled with characters with strange personalities, especially Ninomiya. I will particularly remember the moment when Rim was about to eat a man's head, and Ninomiya placed a wing in her mouth, transforming Rim from a monstrous state into a cute girl happily eating a wing, as well as Ninomiya's personal yandere gun.

I would love to say that this does contain spoilers, but sadly, you can't spoil a story without a plot. YES, I know that it wasn't COMPLETLY plotless. That's the only reason that I gave this anime a three instead of a one. Now let's start breaking it down.
The main character. I have many complains about him. Fisrtly, he literally USED people to get it his way. He's manipulative, self-centered and god damn selfish. I still doubt that he really even CAN feel empathy towards someone. I don't want to be rude, but he seems like a jerk. Like the type of person no one would like having around them. Secondly, kinda thirdly if you count the selfishness as a point itself, he is extremly smart, but never puts it to good use. Fourth off, I can lietrally not STAND how he didn't give a damn about anyth…

The Dungeon of Black Company is such a refreshing addition to the isekai genre. It brings a unique twist that really sets it apart from other shows in the same category. The animation style is vibrant and really helps to bring the fantasy world to life. It's quirky and visually stimulating, making each episode a treat to watch.
What I love most about the show is the protagonist, Kinji. He's not your typical isekai hero, which I found so intriguing. Instead of being overwhelmingly powerful or a complete pushover, Kinji is morally complex and it's so refreshing to see that. He may not be physically strong, but his determination and ideals really make him stand out. His ability to motivate and manipulate those around him creates such a unique dynamic within the series. It's central to the st…

Guys, this is one of the best anime of the time it was released, I would even put this on the top 3.
Amazing anime, it's been four years and I still have not got season 2 and it's very sad.
This anime is perfect in a lot of ways, art, story, characters, every aspect was good, no drawbacks.
I don't know why Silverline Studios has not yet renewed the seasons, at least Kadokawa could take the initiative as they were co-producers, just like " Houseki no Kuni / Land of the Lustrous", " Idaten deities ", "Dead man wonderland", this anime is also kept in dark.
It's an amazing, feel-good, comedy, and relaxing anime, please everyone watch it.

You know, I held off on watching this for a long time. I've seen similar stuff, and I didn't like it, so I supposed it'd happen the same with this one. And indeed, I was correct. At first, I thought the show was taking the route of "extremely smart but not OP MC uses his brain to overcome the obstacles" - the kind of show where the MC has to find new ways and strategies to fend off the challenge of his new world.
Instead, what I found was a boring show where stuff *kind of just happens* all the time, often with no decent introduction, either - there's no linear plot development or progression, and while that might be a good thing if done correctly, here it just makes no sense.
It's kind of sad when an Isekai tries to do something different, but, instead of 'deconstructing' or subverting…

I really enjoyed it at the start. It was different from anything I've seen. But my interest gradually dropped. It took me a month to finish 12 eps. And even the last 3 eps I barely managed to finish.
It started so good. With the whole isekai. Character establishment. The working environment in other world. Magic. Beasts etc. But then time travel...boom. You lost me. The gag just got too much for me.
The concept and idea was very interesting and unique. The whole plot would be better off without gag. Humor yes. But not gag.
Overall somewhat enjoyable. If you don't mind gag then you should definitely give it a try!

tl;dr: A comedy anime about corporate exploitation in a fantasy world with a great protagonist that pendulums between lame and awesome.
In the modern era, most everyone is running the rat race of life. Working long hours at jobs they don’t particular like in order to pay for things that at best make them happy short term. However, Ninomiya Kinji was determined to escape such a life at all costs. And he did, taking crazy risks but quickly becoming rich enough to do whatever he wants as an Uber NEET. But then he got isekai’d to a fantasy world. And unfortunately the fantasy world is very similar to ours, especially in terms of how it’s full of corporations exploiting their workers. However, just as he did in his previous life, Ninomiya is determined to become an Uber NEET in this one as wel…

Anime that subverts the usual tropes of the genre. Instead of being a hero or a chosen one, the protagonist Ninomiya Kinji is a corporate slave who has to work in a dangerous dungeon for a greedy company. He is not overpowered, but rather clever and resourceful, and he tries to find ways to escape his miserable situation.
Great comedy that satirizes the harsh realities of capitalism and exploitation. It also has some fantasy elements, such as monsters, magic, and different races. The characters are quirky and funny, especially Ninomiya’s companions Rimu, Wanibe, and Ranga. The animation is decent, but not outstanding. The music is catchy and fits the tone of the show.

Meikyuu Black Company is one of the weirder series I have watched. I wouldn’t call it bad, but I can’t exactly call it good, either. It’s definitely memorable for having exploitative “black companies” as its theme since stressful work environments and long working hours are quite the issue in Japan.
The series starts off with the main character, Ninomiya Kinji, getting transported to another world. As such, it’s technically an isekai series. That said, the events that unfold over the course of the series don’t make it feel like a typical isekai.
Kinji has a lot more personality than many generic, faceless, ambitionless isekai main characters – not that this makes him likeable, mind you. And while he isn’t particularly powerful by himself, he does become “overpowered” over time because of…

Watching this anime is like going to a very expensive high-end restaurant, ordering super delicious meals, only to wait for 2 hours while watching every other table next to you get delivered the same meals. You see the waiter approach, hoping for 'This time, it's mine!' only to watch the meal go to a table that ordered after you.
After 2 hours, the meal finally arrives, but it consists of small portions, leaving you hungry. The whole anime, except maybe the last arc, revolves around the protagonist taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back, or sometimes 5 steps forward and 6 steps back, constantly. While the comedic value is nice, the narrative progression feels painfully slow.
Was it bad? No.
Was it good? Sometimes.
Would I recommend? Do you like something serious; No. You want to watch…

Ultimate NEET busts ass to generate passive income to retire early and be a lazy bum. But just as he accomplishes his dream, he gets Isekaid to a world where everyone is a corporate slave in an industrial age fantasy land. Hell on earth, along with plenty of comedy, ensues.
Animation / Art / General Visuals - 8/10
-----------------------------------------------
Nothing overly remarkable but the art style is charming and designs interesting. Animations aren't mindblowing but hit just the right spot, from combat to facial expressions, to simple movements.
Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 8/10 ------------------------------------------
Voice actors put in a lot of work, especially the MC. His passion and energy is absolutely radiating. The soundtrack is also pretty nice with a couple of…

This is a nice hidden gem to the Isekai genre. It's not about fighting or having the MC be some overpowered hero type. Honestly, you can learn a little about how economics work and be entertained by the theatrics of this show. The MC seems like some selfish prick but it's totally called for and with good reason. The business world translates well since it's not something we usually see in connection with a fantasy world. On top of that, this show is hilarious at times. It's a good hit, however I can see a certain amount of viewers being bored with the exposition of the MC and his theatrics of monologuing about business practices. It's definitely something worth watching but with a grain of salt since this isn't your typical Isekai anime. The MC isn't a hero and he doesn't desire to be, and…

Amazon's targeted suggestions got the best of me on this one. I purchased the blu-ray for this without ever having heard of it previously because its Limited Edition was available at a steep discount. Now having actually watched it, it really wasn't too bad at all. Reviewing comedy anime in particular is challenging because humor is so personal and subjective and what might have one person rolling on the floor choking on their laughter may not even amuse another, or hell it may even outright annoy them. My subjective reaction to the humor in this particular anime is that it was inoffensive and occasionally worthy of a chuckle or a snicker but the vast majority of the jokes didn't land for me or draw any kind of reaction from me. They're likely targeted at an audience younger than I am.

favourite anime. based main character and actually interesting take on the isekai genre. it's basically someone gets teleported to another world but the demon lord is the CEO of a corrupt mining corporation, so he begins a rival business and overthrows them. could have benefitted from a higher production quality since cgi is very bad at times but the story and MC carry this for me. if you are bored of cookie cutter fantasy/ isekai anime this is will most likely pleasantly surprise you with how wacky the writing is. overall, its a unique anime which is very fun and has surprisingly good pacing. i would recommend to any anime enjoyer.

'The Dungeon of Black Company' is a blast: it's a standout adventure comedy that offers something new every episode. A lovably obnoxious anti-hero and his more-or-less unwilling friends scheme and bumble their way through a wild variety of conflicts, from underground dragon-slaying expeditions to corporate shareholder meetings and others I don't want to spoil. I had no expectations going in, and it took me a few episodes to figure out what the show was trying to do, but by episode four it was smooth sailing, so stick with it.
'Black Company' actually turned out to be exactly what I wanted, but ultimately didn't get, from similar shows like 'KonoSuba' and 'Combatants Will Be Dispatched'. The main character is motivated by a clear goal and drives the story forward. He faces an interesting v…

Meikyuu Black Company (2021)
I knew this would be a speed run show, called it. Yes, that means the story essentially is a start to an ending of no return likely. I am not sure how they could come back from this really without it losing its vibe. For a show that covers so much so quickly it does it well because honestly, you don't really care about the characters because the story doesn't want or let you.
Isekai for a successful NEET that has got to a victory stage of life who then is pulled away from it in his prime to restart. You see some nasty tactics used to then go through the climb to success again. It is a fast-paced show that covers a lot very quickly so pay attention.
The art style is actually very good and nicely done. It has some intensity to it but at the same time keeps a…

What. A. RIDE!
This is such a mediocre anime in terms of production, but the characters and concept are INSANELY GOOD! The main character is one of the funniest people in anime history, and the supporting cast is equally fantastic. No harem nonsense so far, no suffocating seriousness, it's just a good time.
In terms of story and production value, they are as I already mentioned pretty mediocre. In fact, the story is completely nonsensical; I mean the MC gets isekaied, then reverse isekaied, but it was actually just a dream, then isekaied to the future, then back again, and I mean... what do you even do with this?
But it doesn't really matter at all, since that's not the purpose of this anime at all, and it makes no pretenses in this regard, and that's honestly its strongest point. The c…
