Review of I'm Standing on a Million Lives
100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru ------------------------------------- Story - 2 This is one of the most boring plots in anime that I have ever watched. The only watchable episode was the first. It all went downhill from there. Almost nothing in this anime is even remotely original. Other unoriginal anime make up for this with interesting characters or cool art, but this anime has neither of those. The main character is transported into another world with classes and abilities. His starting class is a farmer and he's disappointed, as would be expected. Even if this concept is insanely boring, they didn't have to absolutely butcherit in the way that they did.
Art - 4
Considering this was aired in October 2020, the art and animation were mediocre. I'm aware that the characters' designs were taken from the 2016 manga, but they could be mistaken for anime characters from 2010. Much of the land was barren and the color of the grass was extremely saturated, making it look like a cartoon instead of an animated TV show.
Sound - 5
The opening, "Anti World," sounds really annoying to me for some reason. After the first ten seconds, it starts to become more bearable to listen to. The rest of the song is actually pretty nice. "Carpe Diem" is the ending theme of the anime. Honestly, this was a huge mistake. Now it looks AND sounds like a cartoon. The song just doesn't go with the genre of the anime. When I hear that song, it makes me think of a harem anime involving lolis.
Character - 1
I won't even have to say anything because it's so blatantly obvious. The characters are an absolute mess. I don't know how they accomplished it, but they somehow made weebs in anime even more unlikeable. The main character is a loner and outcast who becomes respected. Let's see what other anime have a character like this...KonoSuba, TenSura, Shield Hero, etc.
Enjoyment - 2
It's as though they had an incomplete thought and turned it into an anime. It seems like they drained all of their ideas on the first episode and the remaining episodes were thought up on the spot. I had no idea that 92% of an anime could be filler. If you watch one episode a week, you usually won't get bored of an anime. That does not apply to this show.
Overall - 3
There is nothing about the actual plot that is good. The only reason that I give this show a 3 is because the art was okay and the opening theme was pretty good. If you have about 20 minutes to spare with no anime to watch, I guess the first episode isn't horrible. If you intend to complete the entire anime, please proceed with caution.
