Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

The Isekai genre may have its most frustratingly mundane anime yet. This lighthearted story revolves around a super strong male protagonist living in a MMORPG type world with an envious amount of female admirers. An inspired concept!

Unoriginality aside, I am addicted to these exact settings in anime. But unlike the others in the genre, such as "Rising of the Shield Hero", "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord", "Wise Man's Grandchild" and even "SAO", the overpowered character does practically nothing with his level 200+, unlimited skill points and "Watch Dogs" type surveillance powers in a world where a Demon Lord is only level 70. He doesn't even use his holy swords. Yes! Plural!

Although his double digit amount of female companions don't know the true extent of his power, it's not a plot point. In fact, I don't think this has a plot. He doesn't try to search for evil enemies, doesn't go on quests, doesn't try to get back to Japan, doesn't even do merchant stuff although claiming 5 times an episode he's a merchant. I guess a positive from that is they don't have any plot holes...

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Much like One Punch Man this story follows more of the day to day lives of the characters and their friendships. The major difference is that this show has minimal anticipation, mediocre pay offs and the main character basically pretends to be a nobody.

I hope that the producer keeps making another seasons of this anime show because it is one of the best. P.S. You you like this you should also watch.. Overlord

I 100% understand what people mean by the main character is OP, yes he is, but you need to look at this in a different way. its not about how the main character struggles at winning the fights, its more about how the main character lives life in the world he is in. so instead of people looking at it as a story with a main character that is op and will win at everything, see it this way, HE IS TRAPPED IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND HE IS TRYING TO EXIT IT... sorry went mega gnar for a second

I love that the harem of girls actually has some more variety than usual. Plus, the different way in which the mc entered the world was neat. However, that Zena girl drove me absolutely crazy. If they every do come out with a season 2, they need to leave her boring predictable *ss completely out of it. Marry her off to someone and disappear her forever, please.

From the fantastic soundtrack, to the character relationships, it is beyond anything I expected. Masterful show, similar to ReZero, but very different. Just give it a try.
