Isekai Shikkaku

A Good Funny parody take on Isekai Genre.
The most comparable anime to this one would be kunosuba, but this take on a more dark tone, with more real life and adult perspective, a bored to death adult writer one as that. As well as this is one of the few isekai that the MC is not from the present day world, but the 1900s instead, so there's also many interesting aspect in that.

Recommend for: Isekai, parody, comedy
Not recommend for, if you don't like: Isekai, Travel/journey style story
Neutral: Animation, production quality, directing

Full review:
First of all, the concept and parody itself is pretty good, funny, and unique. ... Since the protagonist isn't from the present day world, he find many things that's already cemented itself in isekai as normal as weird things, like concept called "stats" etc. Which in concept by itself, can already make for a pretty fun anime to watch for me, but add in with its parody nature, and the bored to death adult nature of the MC, make this even more funnier. Also the fact that the protagonist is a writer, making fun and self aware jokes to this isekai world is hella funny too. [10/10 comedy, concept]

Secondly, I will talk about the characters, pacing, directing, and world building. The few main prominent characters we have is actually fun, have good and well written story and personality, that when mixed together is very enjoyable to watch by itself, while the side character while only is single used so far, is ok and believable enough, or just a complete goof ball for the sake of the joke [9/10 characters]. The pacing is also pretty good for an isekai and as an anime in general, with average of 3-5 scene / action per episode, make for the perfect pacing for a comedy anime [10/10 pacing].

The directing and world building is pretty ok in this anime. While not too flashy, it did it job, with some above average world building and lore behind it [8/10]. The production quality is also pretty above average for an isekai, and did play well into the comedy and scenes when it's need to [9/10]. Lastly I will mention this for people that want action, there's barely in here, so don't even think of wanting one, it's just not the style of anime.

Last but not least is the message. Many people will barely even expect this, but as most comedy show do, they will always have the lurking message of the anime that will punch out the comedy and drown you with wholesomeness sometime. This anime message is pretty good and actually not one that've been in many anime much, and it also play well into the MC comedy style as well [10/10 message]

Overall, this anime doesn't have much flaws, other than if you don't click with the protag adult cast style, or the journey/travel story style,. The only concern I would left off is that the future of this anime is very shaky still, since they will need to be creative to keep this up and there's no direction toward the end goal right now. If you've watched many isekai and other anime before this, you will find this anime very enjoyable and relatable. Just enjoy it as a comedy parody relief.

My rating as Isekai comedy [9.4/10]

I was going to wait for all episodes to air before writing my review but having watched episode 4 i cant wait no longer!

This is a comedy story about a person who was about to commit double suicide but failed as he was hit by a truck before he and his lover? could actually commit.
(We all know that being hit by truck-kun means you get reincarnated in another world).

So how can a story about someone who want to commit suicide be funny? Is it even funny?
The answer is yes! Its definitely quite funny, despite me having a close family member who tried but ... failed to commit suicide themself, I definitely be enjoying the show.

This show has comedy, a big-bosom-blond-elf!, a big-bosom-black-haired-cat-girl! not to mention all the super powers, “cheat skills” that comes with any isekai which is a comedy.

If you like comedy-anime or isekai-anime, this show is definitely for you to get watching.

"Isekai Shikkaku" is a kind of parody of Isekai anime. The main character, who often contemplates suicide, is transported to another world. There, he continues his journey with the same dark intentions, seeking to find a girl he likes and die together.

Despite this seemingly generic premise, the anime offers more depth. Currently, only four episodes are out, so it might not seem very detailed, but by the end of the 12 episodes, you'll find it quite interesting. Trust me, there are unique twists that I can't reveal without spoiling the story.

The main character does redeem himself a bit as the story progresses. He has ... some special powers, adding to the uniqueness of the premise.

The animation quality is good, even better than "Tower of God" Season 2. If you prefer a main character who is carefree and has a dark sense of humor, you might enjoy this anime.

Overall, it's a good watch if you give it a try.

Your Typical Isekai is a weak MC from a normal world, gains powers, and becomes an OP hero in a fantasy world.

Isekai Shikkaku takes a rather unique route.

This dude wants to die. A very melodramatic writer who wants to kill himself in the real world ends up in this fantasy world where he still craves death. But your cliche troupe of women followers want him to live!

I would say this anime is a nice change of pace from your typical animes; it has funny moments and some dragging points. Beyond the main preface, the other fun part is that this is a world ... in which it is normal to summon people from other worlds, but they all seem to suck at being good.

I would spoil it for you, but if you want something a bit different but nothing that is going to blow your mind, this is a fun anime to watch

For such a straightforward anime with a weak main character, it's surprisingly good. It doesn't dive deep or get too complex, but it brings something totally fresh to the isekai table that you just don't see often.

It takes a bold step away from the typical isekai formula; where there are no overpowered characters here, no intricate magic systems, and no kingdoms to save. Instead, what "Isekai Shikkaku" offers is a unique slice of life perspective that just feels earnest.

What's most interesting about this anime is its ability to hold the audience's attention without relying on common tropes, but simple fresh humor. The protagonist isn't ... here to save the world or uncover hidden powers, but to navigate the peculiarities of life in another dimension, as a man whose only wish is to die, preferably with a lady.

Visually, the anime doesn't aim for flashy animation but opts for a more onsistent aesthetic that matches the tone of the story.

I can't believe I'm saying this, given how critical I've been of anime lately, but I'd actually give this one an 8/10.
What really caught my interest was how the story manages its protagonist, I always find myself questioning what he's going to do next.
He simply stands out through his personality and self-awareness, which he unintentionally uses to help out other characters and humorously defeat enemies that come into the story.
