Review of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

When I started watching the first episode, at the beginning, I thought to myself, "This is just gonna be another average isekai anime". Boy, was I wrong. I appreciate the light-dark tone of this anime, showing the harsh reality even in a video game/fantasy world. Ranging from slavery to racism and child abuse, which is something that is uncommon in other average isekai anime(s). My only issue is the main character, Satou. He is a Kirito clone. That's it. But the way he keeps his relationship with his travelling companions (especially the little girls), is very wholesome. The combat scenes are good because the characters have great teamworkwhen it comes to using their skills to defeat enemies. But it gets a bit boring when you see the main character one-shot everything when he's going solo.

To close off my review, I would recommend this anime to newcomers and returning anime fans. It has great value and it deserves a second season when the novel goes further into the story, providing more source material for the anime to go on.
