Review of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

In short, painfully average and shallow. It's basically cheap entertainment that is predictable and dull most of the time. Main character is definition of impotent harem owner who while being omnipotent is at the same best person ever born and doesn't abuse his powers. In fact initial few episodes might lead you to believe he is capable of so much more but the reality is he never uses any of the skills. Frustrating to say the least. All the other characters are too busy of oooing and aaaahing at MC to have any character of their own. They are given some shallow stories but basicallythey all behave the same. I guess writing interesting female characters was asking too much for this show and best they could muster was children with developmental issues, even those that are actually grown up.

Story is nothing worth mentioning either. At one point main character will be criticized for looking at girls or touching them but the very next moment when he somehow ends up in a brothel he's criticized for shtoping rent-a-girls when he has a harem in his carriage. Plot conveniences are present left and right and it feels like writers made an episode about whatever they felt like doing that day and tried tying it in with the rest of the story. To achieve this they have grown this nasty habit of over-explaining mechanisms how things work only for them to never be explored in detail or serve some other purpose than "aaah look at what I can do now".

So, should you watch it... well I don't know. I'd say no unless you are hitting up on a dry period. I have dropped it couple of times already but finally decided to wrap it up. Turns out I managed to watch it until the end at some point but have completely forgotten I did. Story is that memorable.
