Review of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

Death March is a typical Isekai harem anime without anything to lose your mind about. And it's fine exactly because of this. What DM does better than most is the prelude of the story involving MC and his way of life, it's more involved, makes more sense and has some thought put into it. The ironic nature of MC gaining his "op" powers also works logically well as without a single nuance MC didn't exactly have much going on for him in the beginning. Overall it could be better described as a road movie or a Slice of Life kinda story, rather than your typical - thereis a bad guy, go get him. In fact there really is no "bad guy" in the whole S1 and instead it focuses on world building, exploration of that world and the rules of it. I find that a great attempt among the bland - collect a team + kick ass anime that we usually get in the genre.
Because of this, DM is easy to watch especially while having a meal or generally trying to pass time.

Not exactly ecchi, while it has some moments, those are rather episodic and very mild. The only thing yet that I found rather weird (but this is generally a "weird" trend) is a strange view on slavery and how MC just goes on with it (in Shield Hero, MC at least wanted to fix that). The way it is, they might address it in S2 or later.

Production quality is surprisingly good, visually it's pleasant, however animations occasionally drop the ball.
Characters are your typical anime prototypes, but I lost hope in expecting generic commercial anime to provide any fresh takes on that, which is exactly why I value something like Redo the Healer for that specific reason.

All in all it felt solid, fun time and unlike most Isekai aka MMO anime, this one HEAVILY plays with the UI/game/MMO part of it and I appreciate that. Surprisingly there is even a Meta storyline going on in the background (not involving bad guys btw).
