Review of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

Death March is a quite frankly a rather cliche, uninspired, fantasy Isekai with a loli harem. Premise is very similar to Overlord or Slime, with the main character being incredibly overpowered from the get go, but the execution far worse. Death March has nothing unique going for itself. And it doesn't even try to do anything. The main character lacks any sort of personality, any sort of motivations beyond basic human instincts of: shelter, food, companionship, curiosity. He's a good guy with good morals, but there's nothing really driving him. Despite having powers comparable to a god and beyond, he cares almost nothing for it andputs in no real effort to utilize his skills for much anything aside from the completely mundane and arbitrary happenings.

Other characters in the show are similarly devoid of much personality. So much so that they're written in as slaves to the MC, so that the writers don't even have to bother giving them a personality, as they have to do what the MC says and ask for permission for everything.

The world they inhabit is also complete fantasy cliche and next to no effort is put into building it up.

Death March just doesn't seem to have any reason for existing. Watching it gives you the feeling of watching filler episodes of an already mediocre anime. All it really has going for itself is standard quality art and sound, so you at least have some illusion of watching something worthwhile.

It's a bit sad because the show has a decent enough of a foundation to work with. They just decided not to do anything with. There are minor scenes of comedy, romance, sex, epic battles, but one decent fight in 12 episodes or 2 minutes of laughs doesn't do anything for the show as a whole.

If you've completely exhausted your supply of fantasy Isekai anime, you may as well give this a watch, but don't expect it to be anything. Like seriously, it's as forgettable as it can get.
