Considerations This is a spoilerfree review. 60+ in my rating means below average. Ive added one of the anime soundtracksED to the sound section. If you wish scroll down start it and use it as your background music while you read. Story The story covers Takuto a young man who after dying finds himself reincarnated into his favorite turnbased strategy game. Now embodying the role of the kingdoms evil ruler he must with the aid of his favorite champion build his empire from the ground up just as he used to do when playing the game. To be honest the story is average. A major issue is that the world is confusing it takes too long to be made clear if hes truly inside the game or in a completely different world that just shares its mechanics. As the story goes on the worldbuilding and its rules only become more convoluted. If you can ignore that significant flaw the plot of him steadily building his empire does progress well enough. Watching this feels like watching a cheaper version of Overlord. The core concepts are nearly identical: a guy gets isekaid into a gamelike world has an evil alignment and has to build an empire. This comparison makes the anime feel even more below average as Overlord is a welldone series that handles these same ideas with much more skill and coherence. Art The art for this anime is really average. The character designs are well done they are distinct and dont all look the same with just different hair. However theres nothing too incredible or memorable about this aspect of the animes visuals. 420https://media1.tenor.com/m/njjCC01EPkAAAAd/isekaimokushirokumynoghra.gif Example of animation The same can be said for the animation. It isnt terrible but it never impresses either. There was no moment during my watch where I was even slightly amazed by the animation quality which is a letdown for a series that involves battles and building a fantasy empire. Characters There are a moderate amount of characters in this anime. The cast is composed of the main character and his champion and it gradually expands to include others as he starts growing his empire making connections enemies and encountering different tribes. Theyre all okay with each character serving a specific purpose in the story. The main character Takuto is average to me. He takes very long to show any real strength or commands the presence youd expect from a dark king. Its difficult to watch this anime and not compare him with Ainz from Overlord and this is where the show really falls short. Takuto just isnt enough as a main character to carry the role of a dark lord. Soundtrack There is nothing too crazy in this department to be honest. Is this one of those animes where I would actively listen to or even think about the soundtrack afterward? No. Is it an anime I would remember for how bad the soundtrack was? Not really. So again its perfectly average in every sense of the word. https://www..com/watch?v=u7QkQcdU9Eg Conclusion If youre like me you skip everything and read only the conclusion because you dont want to get spoiled with other themes. So I will try to be brief on this point: Maybe try it out.You should only watch this anime if youre looking for something that is close to Overlord but you go in knowing that it isnt nearly as good. If you like the concept of this anime but havent watched Overlord then thats the anime for you instead. I personally dont even think Id watch a second season of this anime if ever came out.
