★☆☆☆☆ Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku [Review]

An isekai  harem of an overpowered bland self-insert teenager who used to be an adult game-developer corporate-slave until one day he got exhausted from overwork and died by truck-kun , err, I mean, safely went to sleep and woke up in his game world? Probably the same thing as Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni.  but I dropped that one first episode so I wouldn't know for sure. 12 episode partial light novel adaptation. 1/10★ - Enragingly mediocre. Strength: dirt cheap pet-slave-girl moe , if you are into that. Weaknesses: nauseatingly self-insert MC that will give you brain cancer, obnoxiously unexciting writing. Incomprehensibly bad. Worst main character I've ever seen. That this source story got an adaptation is honestly mind-boggling; anything else would have been likely a better alternative. Today I find myself asking: what makes a good protagonist? Whether lawful good or chaotic evil, motivated or lazy, heroically sympathetic or mind-my-own-business apathetic...

★★★☆☆ Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? [Review]

An  isekai  with an overpowered main character joining the underdog faction. Battles are "Gift games" with conditions for victory-defeat, and everybody has special abilities, called "gifts." Full of cockiness and "that can't be! How are you so OP?!" everywhere. It's a mix of One Punch Man and No Game No Life . 10 episode partial adaptation of a light novel. 7/10★ - Has its moments, but feels lacking. Strength: cocky overpowered MC. Weaknesses: plot, world-building. Although enjoyable and rather refreshing, with an unique cast, world and system, it doesn't have anything truly special to set it apart from the many other monster-of-the-arc anime, so it might leave you unsatisfied. The premise gives the expectation that the mondaiji , the "problem children," are all overpowered and would easily topple the Little Garden they just set foot in. That, would be epic, is what you think as you watch the guy show off how unbalance...
