(Six episodes watched): In general, I am disappointed with this show. I had fairly high hopes for a show with a title such as this, but once you get beyond the idea of being sent to a whole new world the plot doesn't seem all that novel. Pretty standard Isekai fare, actually. The frequent references to 'tits' cheapens the show; I wonder if it will be comedy or fanservice that predominates here. #6 is fairly perverted and I neither hate nor like him. The characters in general seem dim-witted (except for Alice), and with the jokes as weak as they are that annoys me. Who wants to spend time with idiots if they don't at least make you laugh? I wish this show had been either funnier, or had had a more interesting plot, or both. I can't help feeling that an opportunity for some truly good comedy isekai anime has probably been wasted here. Episode two wasn't all that bad, now that I knew what to expect. Certainly not LOL funny, but sort of amusing and I was curious just what #6 and Alice would attempt to do. They assemble a team consisting of buxom women with strange powers that were not exactly defined clearly. One is very hungry and can somehow absorb the magical powers of creatures she eats. Another can cast curses and be revived unlimited times if she gets killed. I'm not exactly sure why these abilities were chosen or if they were anything more than jokes. In general, this show is far more about humor than action. Maybe that was a mistake, because the jokes are modest at best and I sensed what might just be an intriguing plot in bits like Snow overhearing #6 and Alice describe themselves as 'spies'. It was definitely a mistake to rely on fanservice as heavily as this show does--well, on second thought, who am I kidding? That was only to be expected. It would be more accurate to say that this show didn't try hard enough to be attractive to viewers without fanservice. It didn't try hard enough to have genuine quality. Still, it is kind of fun and I kept watching for half a season. Once in a while somebody says or does something amusing or meaningful. #6 seems to be feeling a conflict between his task to prepare for the invasion of this new world and the friends he has made there, which could be intriguing if it were taken seriously. But Kisaragi is a joke rather than a serious evil organization, after all. There's no way this is going to mature into a well disciplined, engaging story or a LOL one. It will be average at best. I decided that I could not spare the necessary time for it. Last updated Friday, June 11 2021. Created Tuesday, April 06 2021. | ||||||||
