Review of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

This anime feels like "Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni."... except even in comparison to "Iseakai Smartphone" it is extremely borin, extremely dull, and feels needlessly prolonged. Although "Smartphone" wasn't good either (I rated it 5/10) In "Smartphone" you could at least have some fun trying to figure out in which silly way current situation is going to be resolved. Here, though... the pacing is mind-bogglingly slow, and it feels like it takes two episodes to present one episode worth of material. It also doesn't really have the "peaceful silly fun" atmosphere "Smartphone" had. So, all things considered, there is little reason to watch it. Detailed breakdown below:Ratings:
3/10 story, 5/10 art, 5/10 soudn, 4/10 character, 4/10 enjoyment, 4/10 overall.

Story 3/10.

It is usual (for nowadays, that is) "game isekai" where protagonist gets thrown into a game-like world, except he is overpowered. Similar titles are "Overlord", "Smartphone", "Log Horizon", and few others. "Game isekai" anime can only be fun when there's non -game conflict/story (like those in the good episodes of overlord), or when protagonist is overpowered in either a clever or fun way.

None like that is in this anime. The whole thing feels like overly long exposition with next to non-existent conflict. The "cute girls doing silly things" aspect also isn't strong enough to make it fun.... so all things considered, it is bland and dull with exception of a few moments.

Art: 5/10:
Actually, it is decent with a slight touch of originality. One side character (golem) is quite cute and a bit unusual in design, protagonist is generic looking, and few small sidekicks could work as "cute characters" as well. THe whole thing feels a bit low-budget, though, and there are few noticeable instances of CG use, or "animation saving" tricks like panned shots, etc.

I believe there was one or two decent ifght scenes with fluid movement, but fight scenes are so uncommon in this anime, that it doesn't really help.

Soudn: 5/10:
The "watashi tachi no party" ending sounded nice, and opening wasn't bad either, but overall the music simply doesn't stand out much.

Character: 4/10:
Walking stereotypical carton cutouts. Everybody is a stereotype, acts their story role, and is not very believable.

Enjoyement: 4/10:
I found it to be dull. The events within episodes feel stretched, and it would be more intersting to watch the anime if it was "compressed" or had better writing. Overall it feels like this is 6 episode worth of events in it.

OVerall: 4/10:
It is boring to the point where it can put you to sleep. There is one nice moment in the beginning (fight), and nice moment in the middle (another fight), plus one somewhat cute/interesting character, but it is it.

If you REALLY want to watch "game isekai" you could try "smartphone" instead, or first 5 episodes of overlord 2 (lizardmen arc). Those will be better.

OVerall it is not, horrible, but it is so dull that I can't really recommend it.
