look at this in a diffrent view

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

Light hearted harem fun

A computer programmer is mysteriously transported into a game-like world where he learns first hand what it's like to live in the world he and his colleagues have created.

Hence, he arrives with potential for greatness and uses his powers in a kind, heart-warming fashion; defending the helpless, protecting the weak and yes; rescuing pretty damsels in distress. Very soon; he ends up with a retinue of emancipated slaves, demi-humans, reincarnated Japanese prepubescent little girls and clones! Talk about a teenager's.oversexed sensual fantasy come true! But just one minute; the master rebuffs all advancements by an over-enthusiastic Lolicon and remains chaste in favour of a; wait for it; female soldier!!

I was most impressed by Liza, an emancipated slave who is loyal, smart and brilliant at martial arts. She is also taciturn and is the mother-figure for the two demi-human girls Pochi and Tama. Now that is one sexy lady; instead of the dolt of a love interest that is our lady soldier, Zena!

Still, enjoy people, this series for its light-hearted fun; just leave behind too much cognition and enjoy!

A Barely Mediocre Isekai

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.

Enjoyable and slightly different Isekai

The core of the show centers around a "OP" protagonist trying to understand the world he's in and maybe get home (no shock) but the difference in this case is how he handles it.

Overall he's avoiding making major waves, careful in most instances to hide what & how powerful he is and when cornered underplays his part giving others credit. Again not reinventing the wheel but handled fairly well.

The majority of the show seems to center around how the protagonist is handling his interactions and individual relationships and mostly subtle attempts to try and change the world views / prejudice of those in the same world.

Although it's technically in the Harem category and does give some "Fan Service" in a few instances the reason for the women following him make sense. It's a feudal world and a "man" (he's roughly 15 in appearance) who's not treating those under him horrifically (power wise, servants and spaces) and treating women as equals is unusual and would be a draw logically. The few "Fan Service" moments aside he's going out of his way to avoid inappropriate interactions / allowing his female companions to make sexual advances and instead is making a safe environment for them.

Add in some moments where the character struggles with some real concerns (before he's lost in the enjoyment of the new experience) and it's an above average anime. However it won't appeal to all due to the lack of action in every episode, the focus on relationship building etc.

Genre's are Fantasy, Isekai and Harem

Could have been made better

Why the isakai characters are acting so polite and kind. It's not cool, more like dumb. This guy reaches the top level at the first episode, still fights like a noob.

Been there done that, a monotonous watch

The series got one of the most common plots in anime, getting stuck or transported into a online style game and not able to log out. However this time around the MC starts as an overpowering god like character, along the way he forms a harem, has some adventures and the anime end midway of the ongoing journey.

So while the show borrows ideas from other anime, I am still a sucker for the genre. Problem for me was the pacing, just too slow with nothing much happening. Tons of time is spent in solving straight forward problems, the way the MC plods along is frustrating. It is easily one of the dullest things I have watched.

The animation itself was on the better side, everything looked good.

Gold

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.

Disturbing fantasy

Who is this anime for . It's like shield hero but from the mind of Gary Glitter and Epstein . 30 year old gets a harem of 5 to 18 year olds .

How was Midori banned and this not . Doubt we will see a second season , creator is probably in prison and the kids of Japan are safe . Whoever rated this over 1 star and is not clinically insane or under 15 should be looked up .

Like serious in catch a predator just invite a few suspected child predators make them watch this , if they give a good review just lock them straight up no need for court .

One of the most disturbing things I have watched in a long time .

Excellent, waiting for next season

I don't understand why people are giving such less rating I think it has a great story and animation is also very good. I can't understand what people expect from isekai harem anime which was not in here. It was just how I like to see. If you want to see deep anime with complicated story then you shouldn't expect it from it. It is pretty entertaining anime with op mc. I think it deserves next season for sure.

Really Good!

When I first started to watch this anime, I didn't expect much because it had IMDB rating 6.6. But When I started watching I really liked this anime. The idea of programmer going into game is pretty common in isekai animes. But this anime is kind of different because it has less fight sequences and emphasizes more on the life of the MC in the parallel world. If you want to watch a lighthearted isekai anime with some fight scenes then this anime is for you.

Just what I needed

I love these types of anime. The character progresses nicely with a good many likeable characters around him. I have watched this series at least three times and enjoyed it every time. While such things may not be for everyone... I like them. Please make another series!

This really is a great isekai

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.

Strange series. 29 yo with a harem of 11 yo girls

The series has a nice concept to start off with then it becomes about a man that's 29 who builds a harem of underaged girls with lots of sexual innuendo slipper in between. You'd think it skews some strange side joke if not every girl the main character meets is like 11yo half naked, completely naked or cladly dressed and falling in love with him.

I don't know how stuff like this gets a pass or what Japanese culture is really about but there's way to much fetishization about young underaged girls. I'm not even sure why anyone would bother to dream something like this up and even for the ages this anime is rated for at 14 to intended viewer would still be too old for the age of the girls featured in this anime.
