Review of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

If you ever have the fantasy of taking a tour to somewhere unknown, not having to worry about money, future, where to go, or in general literally anything, this is the show for you. Many people here seem to think this show is trash, and while I completely agree that the show is bad for specific reasons, I think they are missing the point. Death March isn't an Isekai anime, it's a Travel Documentary with lolis. More than likely, you're not going to watch Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown or the YouTube channel Abroad in Japan and start criticizing about why they aren't starting with $0dollars and having no experience in navigating the area, or questioning why they are given access to certain places that might be more restricted.

The show doesn't want any difficulties or conflicts, because at its core it is about sightseeing and relaxation. There is a reason why some say Death March is a cooking anime. Back at the start of my review is the EXACT fantasy of our overworked main character's and a lot of overworked office workers'; to completely relax and not give a care about anything.

You SHOULD feel that the first 10 minutes of Episode 1 to be relatable in some way. If it is not, or if you dislike Travel Documentaries, and find the idea of not having to worry about anything appalling, this show isn't for you.

My number scores don't really mean anything. Objectively speaking, numbers are a pretty bad way to judge this kind of shows that only target a very specific audience.
