This was one of the biggest surprises of the season for me. Krai and his hilarious misunderstand misadventures with a quirky and colorful cast had me engrossed from episode to episode just to see how much more chaotic the plot would be and how Krai would ultimately unintentionally resolve it.
Also, Tino and Sitri Best Girls. Liz is a bit...much. |

I liked this! It's nice to have a proper, non-isekai, non-reincarnation fantasy story, which can balance both story and humour. The cast are entertaining and, as per the review, the storylines tend to be unpredictable, generally in a good way. It's not going to be many people's show of the year, but it's a solid filler to round out a season.
My one gripe is that I wish they'd ditched the whole "levels" thing. If you've got the guts to ditch "isekai" and "reincarnation", you might as well go the whole hog and shed all of the video game trappings. |

This one was a pleasant surprise for me as well, just a good old chaos engine. I'd also like to shout out the characters practically singing the next episode previews as another touch of going above and beyond on the assignment.

And they also only played the full OP animation sequence in, like, two episodes. Not to mention that the singer of the ED was an actual character in the show. |

The fights could've been more interesting, and agree with Rogueywon they should've just dropped the needless 'levels' dressing, but the core of this was surprisingly entertaining. Solid chemistry between the cast, decent jokes. Fair bit of fan service that will turn some people off, though nothing super egregious. I had fun with it, and was a little shocked always to find myself looking forward to watching it, at least a little bit.

I'll have to watch this show. I read the light novels and quickly got tired of it, but it seems from the review and comments that they did a good job on the anime adaptation.

Yeah, it's a lightning-in-a-bottle type of great adaptation, the production team thoroughly understands the charm of the source material and execute it almost flawlessly, the voice-acting, music and animation (with limited budget, the show looks surprisingly decent) all come together. Definitely give this one a try! |

Of the litRPG and Isekai adjacent shows of the season this was my favourite newbie of the crop.
