I didn't hate this show, but yeah, there are much better shows recently that could have gotten LEs instead, like the above-mentioned Saga of Tanya the Evil (I would have gotten that in an instant) or Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. I'm also really irritated that Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond isn't getting one even though the first season did since a) I liked this season better, and b) now it won't match on my shelf.

....ok this just surprised me...goes to show how different peoples' tastes are entirely. I buy every single harem anime that gets dubbed and after watching this I became obsessed with it. I love the characters and story!I Intend to now buy the physical copy of the novels and trying(but failing)to find a plush version of Kohaku. already chain watched this 4 times after getting my limited edition bluray. It happens ever so often that after watching an anime i go all in with the localized novels/manga Did the same with trinity seven,freezing, sekirei, danmachi. and Rosario vampire.(monster musume is the 1st that i bought the manga before the anime) With this and SAO I encounter alot of people who seem to hate what i like! |

This was one of those shows where you could tell from justing looking that at the very nost the best it could ever hope for is decent.

I went back to read the blog you brought up, interestingly they only specifically state that Gal got high Simuldub streaming numbers, but I assume that rule applies to the bulk of their LE selections. I am curious if Crunchyroll gives them a general idea of how well certain series streamed (I'm assuming they don't give exact numbers). Although Gal doesn't surprise me too much- Rightstuf and Funimation people have always said that the ecchi/fan service stuff sells extremely well.
Yeah, we just like different things. I don't mind some light stuff, and I don't even mind OP heroes, but Smartphone just made things way too easy for Touya. I also didn't care for Death March (though I haven't read the novels or manga). Generally I do prefer the hero at least having to make some token efforts or at least be a fun character. So I'm a Spider and Arifureta have the heroes start out weak, even if it doesn't take long for them to get much stronger. Overlord's Ains has charisma and generally I find the cast of characters are all varied and colorful enough to help make the series enjoyable. |

Yeah, I REALLY wish Tanya had gotten one. So much cool art they could have used for that great show. Same for BBB&B. It was great and I really thought that would get one just like the first season. I was really surprised when it went up as just a regular edition. Another super confusing one was last year's awesome Drifters. Still in shock that didn't get an LE. I hope they are going to bundle these new eps that are getting made, maybe two at a time or something if they keep getting made this way rather than as a new season. |

The biggest problem I have with Isekai Smartphone is that most of the best parts of the volumes covered in the anime weren't included. The next biggest problem I have is that it would take like 2 more seasons to get to the conflict that actually does potentially pose a problem big enough to be a threat to Touya.
I've been enjoying the light novels, but I dunno if I like the anime enough to buy a limited edition of it. |

The show has only limited sales potential, so the way to maximise profits is by soaking its few fans for as much as you can get away with. Good shows don't need gimmicks to sell. |

I rather enjoyed the series and definitely hope it gets a second season to continue or finish the story. I haven't checked out the manga but might if the local library gets it - I'm buying a few too many series already.

See, y'all, remember when people complained about Sword Art Online?
SAO was one of the good ones. But now they've already burnt through the good LN's like the Monogatari series, SAO, Konosuba, etc., and they're starting to adapt the completely trashy and utterly insipid web-novel derived light novels that are a dime a dozen these days. Prepare yourselves. And honestly, amongst the new genre of "isekai where protagonist is hilarious overpowered and wins everything", Smartphone is still near the top. They haven't even gotten to the really awful isekai. Those'll make Smartphone look a 9/10 series. |

Josh Grelle is the guy to cast for harem dubs. It's become a forte of his. |
