Synopsis

Akira Oono is an ordinary working adult who manages the MMORPG Infinity Game. Fifteen years after creating the game, Oono decides to shut the servers down once and for all. However, as the clock strikes midnight, he somehow finds himself in the body of middle-aged Hakuto Kunai, Infinity Game's Demon Lord! Soon after his mysterious transportation, he witnesses the demon Greole chasing after a little girl named Aku. Although he effortlessly dispatches the creature, Hakuto is still concerned; after all, he does not remember creating the girl or the demon! Doubting whether he truly is in the world of his creation, Hakuto decides to investigate. Bringing Aku along as his guide and companion, Hakuto sets out on a journey to find out exactly who or what summoned him to this fantasy world—all while leaving chaos and destruction in his wake.

So why would I give this anime a rating of 7 overall, meaning that I find it good, while it mostly is cliche? The reason of it is the anime has embraced it so much that it became funny instead of trying to be good it became cliche, so cliche that it became funny... Yes this anime made me laugh made me enjoy those 20 minutes every Wednesday, it didn't have an epic story, the characters were simple, the budget was not high, the effects were nothing new often even bad, and yade yade yada... anime should not have top notch quality, the best story ever written,the best voice actors ever lived, the best art that was ever created to be good, it needs those to be outstanding, to be a masterpiece... But a good anime is one where the person watching it can enjoy the time they spent on it. And I loved watching the 12 episodes of this and got a great laugh out of it.

Don't waste your time. I'm generally pretty tolerant of tropes and standard isekai plots, but I could barely stomach this series. The only reason I managed to reach the final episode of the season is unyielding stubbornness, and I deeply regret not giving up sooner. The plot goes absolutely nowhere for every single episode. The main character wanders about aimlessly, finds people who are jobbing to monsters or "powerful" opponents, and defeats them effortlessly so people can worship him. When he's not doing that, he's collecting a loli harem and doing poor, meandering world-building that doesn't really teach you anything about the world itself (I assume thisis to encourage reading of the light novels, a common tactic of LN-to-anime adaptations, but that doesn't help the anime's score at all). The plot is just an overall mess where not one significant event occurs for the entire run. The only things I'd give it credit for are interesting character designs (visually, anyway, development-wise they're all generic and boring) and a semi-decent OST that's relaxing to listen to but ultimately unmemorable. Even if you were to take it as parody (which is a hilariously bad take), it's still horrible even then. I want the hours I spent on this garbage back.
