Really is a shame that the series ended right where you meet spoiler[ Ende and you really start to learn about the Fraze] It actually gets a little better with vol 3 and further on.

Episode 12;
The 'future' harem, at ~21.10 mark. 
Being a novel reader I think I know all of them, with the exception being the pink-haired elf, I don't think I have encountered her yet in the j-novel version unless I'm forgetting something?... |

A lot of the criticisms in the review are shared by people that generally enjoy this genre. I honestly question the sanity of anyone that didn't cringe at least a little bit at a whole episode dedicated to them settling for polygamy because Touya is such a great guy. |

I get why a lot of people didn't like this show and I understand all the criticism it's getting, but I liked it. It was a kind of lighthearted adventure with few conflicts, no drama just everyone gets to be happy. I liked the chemistry between Touya and the girls. I liked the little bits where Touya utilized his original world knowledge albeit in a very simple way.
So yeah I'm sorry guys, I found this anime to be enjoyable. Not great, but enjoyable. |

The anime covered Smartphone's 1st 3 LN volumes. IIRC there are 10 volumes out now in Japan.
White haired guy in the post-credits plays a major recurring role in future volumes of Smartphone. The action and plot escalates starting from this point, and the interdimensional enemies that Touya and he will fight are a recurring enemy as well. Apparently the source LNs are Hobby Japan's (Smartphone's LN publisher) bestselling title; though whether this'll translate into a S2 is another question entirely. |

I'm genuinely surprised at him having nine wives-to-be mentioned at the end. I don't recall that being mentioned at the corresponding point in the light novels, so when they flashed on screen it really took me by surprise. Sue is no surprise since she was mentione much earlier as potentially joining when she is old enough. Leen doesn't really surprise me either, it's been hinted at enough. I wonder who the others are.
I swear that Ende had more screentime in the opening credits than in the series proper though. |

Yeah, I'm fine with not entirely original LN based anime series, but this one was garbage. I've even read quite a few of the LN adaptations that get widely shit on and enjoyed them. This is easily the worst LN adaptation I've watched in recent years. There might be more to the series in the source, but the anime sure as hell didn't show it. |

Smartphone season 1 has ended and while the story was average I thought it was pleasant. There are elements in the show that are worth criticizing but I had a lot more fun watching this show than I did Rewrite. Smartphone was a rare combination of harem, isekai, and iyashikei.

ipputasai: 一夫多妻: 1 husband, many wives = polygyny, not polyandrous polygamy.
Anyway, even somniferous SoL like K-On had at least SOME conflict, like staging the concert or the girl having to learn how to play her guitar, not entering the world as Clapton, Hendrix and Segovia rolled into one. Smartphone is just a walk through the fantasy park: Perhaps a pleasant diversion for a short time, but any more investment would be annoyingly tedious. |
