Review of I'm Standing on a Million Lives

This show appears to be another generic anime about being sucked into another world. Well... it is. However, there is more depth here than one might believe. The story is fairly interesting, but not at first. At first it feels bland and just like every other low budget isekai. Towards the end of the show the story actually takes an interesting turn. The first season ends strong, and I'm gonna watch the second season. Basically give it a fair chance and you might be surprised by it. Well maybe not surprised, nothing mind blowing happens, but it is much better than initial impressions might leadone to believe. 8/10

The art is just kind of eh... Not bad or offensive in any way, but not impressive in any capacity either. 6/10

The sound is a little bit of a mixed bag. To be clear I watched the dub so your experience may be different with the sub. The voice acting is mostly good with the exception of a couple of characters. I won't go into it, but I found their voices to be slightly grating. Another issue is in some of the early episodes delivery is a little off, but that only happens in a couple of scenes. The ost was kind of generic with the occasional track that caught my attention. The intro and outro were good, but not great. 7/10

The characters are the real meat of the show. They are actually interesting. 9/10... Just kidding there's more. I enjoy anime where the characters aren't one dimensional or flawless. This is an anime where, especially for the mc, that isn't the case. Characters don't have issues that magically vanish after a couple of episodes. Really the characters have unique and provocative points of view, which is extremely refreshing. Best part of the show by far 9/10

My enjoyment was mixed throughout the show. The first few episodes held my attention, but I was only mildly entertained for a couple episodes after that. Then out of left field the show started getting interesting, and suddenly I was dreading the end of the season. The last couple episodes really got me into it, and I can't wait for season 2. Despite a couple of slow episodes 9/10

Overall I would recommend this to people who like isekai. Also people who don't, but you need to have a decent attention span to get anything out of it. It's a hard anime to score because there are some flaws, but I really loved the last few episodes. So I'm gonna be a little more subjective here, partly because their are a lot of isekai that are similar in rating, but are way less interesting that this. 8/10
