Review of I'm Standing on a Million Lives

The most important stuff at the start: I watched the first episode of this and thought it was a parody, like Konosuba. Since I liked the intro I started reading the Manga and OH BOY DOES IT GET GOOD! Sadly this first season never reached those "good" parts. What you can see in those 12 Episodes is merely the introduction to a story, that goes very into detail about society, politics and consequences of your actions. But since this is a review for those 12 Episodes and not what comes after it: - You have very endearing characters and some you are meant to - and will -hate. The male Protagonist is a little edgelord, but pretty decent otherwise. The first girl is kinda capeable, the second girl is the heart of the team and the fourth teammate that joins after the first adventure is a little shit that is sometimes usefull by accident.

They are all flawed in their own way, but they all have their strong points as well.

- The story is pretty mediocre, a lot of stuff is watered down (for example the riddles in the dungeon tunnel they have to cross as a shortcut) but all in all it is just an introduction to the whole setting. some may argue it is very long and I don't disagree.

What is the story? A loner gets transported to another world with 2 of his classmates and has to do a single task. Failing the task will result in all 3 of them dying. They get assinged classes like in a fantasy game, the MC rolls very low and gets assigned the "Farmer" class while the others are a warrior and a mage. Turns out he levels up much faster and the other two are rather useless. They also return to life after 30 seconds as long as their body is not eaten and one partymember is still alive..

Sounds silly, is silly, but trust me - it gets better.

This is not an Isekai with the "you can't die" plot like Re: Zero alone, but an Isekai that shows you the consequences of your actions. Why you ask?

Because after they finish the task, the group gets transported back to the "real" world - where no time has passed. And after a few weeks they are back in the other world again. But 10 years have passed there.

Art and sound are nothing special.

so yeah overall i give it a 7/10 - but I'm probably biased because of the Manga. Read that!
