DEATH MARCH KARA HAJIMARU ISEKAI KYOUSOUKYOKU ANIME REVIEW
-AINANA HIRO
(APRIL 25 2019)
Overall: 9.2
Plot: 8
What if one day you wake up and you're already in a game? What if your normal disastrous and stressful life turns into a more enjoyable one? This kind of theme is not new in an anime series. It is rather famous and currently one of the most picked plot. The story starts with the protagonist Satou and his busy life as a game creator at the age of 29. Sounds amazing, right? Though it isn't. He spent days and days fixing bugs in different games without having the time to rest at all. One night when sleep comes to him, he woke up seeing himself in a life or death situation, with features of a game only he can see, with a familiar place he already saw, with the age of 15. His journey began upon the realization that he isn't dreaming.
Unlike other MMORPG themed anime series, this one slightly touch the core of being in a game such as doing raids, having guilds, PVP. It contains of more simple things in a game such as obtaining different skills and titles, mastering different professions like crafting and alchemy, living a peaceful life with the slaves he helped getting their freedom back. It focuses more on the little things of the game that is mostly taken forgranted. The anime pace is slow but satisfying. It is great to see a common concept of a story but with different shades of it.
Characters: 9
The protagonist of the story is overpowered, but not in a way most character is. His level is very high, yes. But the familiarity of every skills and the game itself needs time. His character is calm and smart. That even if he was brought to a different world, his 29 years old self won't change. It is cute how he is always smiling and have a pleasant look on his face. It is also amazing how he made choices depending on what will be the outcome and not just pure instinct to show his strength. This story is a harem and there are different girls on his circle. They're too cute and funny. And it is cool how the author made a limit on them in between of master and just fan service. I just really don't like that one character who keeps on flaunting on the protagonist assuming their relationship. I hate her, honestly.
Sound and Animation: 10
I freaking love the voice of tama. It's so cute and funny. It feels like watching a very irresistible pet in front of you. Her voice is the best! The shift of the animation from the viewers perspective to the protagonists itself is also cool. It is shown how the surrounding should be in his eyes since there is menu only he can see. Though the protagonist looks like the typical character with a black hair and a black clothes long enough to hide his body, he is much different. Every characters of the story is cool on their own and it is a plus that neither of them all, nothing acts like an NPC (Remembered Emilia).
Enjoyment: 10
This anime is so satisfying. I felt like playing some MMORPG my whole life. Their daily adventures and moments felt like their just living normally. And I think that is what the author wanted the viewers to see. Its great to watch anime like this once in a while.
Ending: 9
I don't want this to end. I want to see more of their clever doings, their cuteness and innocence. The ending show how the protagonist make use of his skills, how he can help others by using his mind than using his sword. I really love his character. Mature, calm, always smiling, reliable. Being near him will make you feel safe. Their struggles on the end and how they solve it is a great way to end the series. Though I think, this story is still ongoing and there's a still a lot of adventure they must take. Must check the manga of it.
