I really don't get why so many people give this show a bad rating. Compared to other shows that have come out this season with a similar premise (isekai), the animation is average but the story is easily more interesting and plotted out in a well-made manner. I am guessing that this anime gets poor reviews solely due to the anime-goers who expected this show to be your typical "loser gets isekai'd to another world and instantly becomes overpowered and obtains a harem of beautiful women". Although this anime has no shortage of isekai-tropes, the story easily stands out because of its unique premise. If you're bored of the typical isekai, please give this series a shot! Only four episodes have aired at the time of this review being written, but the series has offered an intriguing plot to follow. Please don't be deterred by the borderline average animation, as it is still superior to most animes being aired this season.

Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs
Tweekums27 June 2022
This anime series is centred on Leon Fou Bartfort, an officer worker who dies and is reincarnated into the world of a video game. It isn't a game he likes but an otome dating game his sister forced him to play. He is a lowly male character in a world where women rule and characters like him have a hard time. From his knowledge of the game he manages to acquire powerful equipment and enrols in the prestigious Holtfort Academy where he rubs shoulders with the elite of this world. Inevitably he makes some enemies here, as well as a few friends.
I thought this was a decent enough series. The isekai genre is somewhat crowded and there are certainly better examples than this... there are also far worse. It is the sort of series that is fun while you watch it but is likely to be forgotten about soon after it ends. The characters might not be the most original but they are entertaining to watch. The action is solid and there is a decent level of unforced humour. The animation is pretty good and the characters are suitably distinctive. Overall I'd not call this a must see but it is worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Good comedy. Some good moments

Overall the animation the animation is average, and the story makes sense. It's fun to watch and it's not so serious, it's more easy going and one complaint is i want to see more of the "women are more important than men" thing about the story, it occasionally pops up for comedic reasons but it would be cool if it played a bigger part in the story. In conclusion, pretty good anime, but it can be better.
Could have been one of the best

The animation is very good and i like it, i like it so much i read the manga although the manga is not completely translated it's a very good. The anime might not be bad in the slightest for people who did not read the manga but the anime is very fast passed long conversations might geting borring in the anime, yes but those do add a good feel to the plot would suggest to go more according to the source material and get season 2 confirmed instaed of rushing it 👍👍

It's the best Anime in Otome game Genre
ahmedevan28 October 2023
I fell love this anime. It is one of my most favorites anime now. Usually I don't like otome game anime. But this one managed to win my heart. I love the characters development of the main 3 and also how they get closer over time each character overcoming their insecurities. It was wholesome to see. Hope this doesn't get cancelled. Angelica and Olivia's chemistry is great. I love Leon's trash talking he's not overly kind and is on savage side. To me characters that way to morale are boring. Leon's savage but still kind hearted inside personality is what makes the show great. Eagerly awaiting for season 2.
Love this and waiting for season 2

Everything in that series was fine and perfect. To be honest, I have given a review because it touches my heart. If a show can't get to my heart, I Don't review that.
But this series was excellent. Storyline, characters, background was perfect. Can you please bring season 2 for your support and fans. Please give us any confirm dates or trailer so that we can understand that it will release. To be honest, I am waiting for a long time. And I am just upset because, we didn't get any confirm dates or news that it will release in this year. Really, we are waiting for this series, to see the next part of the story.
Hope you guys will give us any good news soon. And Thanks again for this series.

Out standing!!!

This is an outstanding Isekai anime!
It's hard to find anime that I can engage with how the main character feels. This anime definitely does that for me.
The main character's attitude was so well done, it's hard not to laugh at how he acts in this amine. The plot was hilarious as well. I consider this one of the many masterpieces among Isekai animes'. I won't get into the details because I don't want to spoil it for you, but this anime is worth watching.

Super funny

One of my new favorite animes! I love the reference it has references from SpongeBob & The Wizard of Oz and more that I don't remember at the time. This is one of the funniest anime series I have ever watched, with comedy everywhere! The main character is the funniest and always makes me laugh, the story of the series is similar to other animes where the main character reincarnates into another world but this one has a twist with females ruling the world. I hope this anime gets a second season because of how much it still has to tell about its story, how the characters act, and for the comedy!
