MICHAEL M @MichaelMpeaty Aug 24, 2026 Pathetic he doesn’t have sex that’s so unrealistic no man would turn the women down the way he does See more Ry N @RyGuy Apr 20, 2026 A gamer stays online while servers are shutting down and gets isekai-ed into the game. Ainz's party take on Clemintine and Khajit of the Zurrernorn death cult before fighting a rogue Shalltear. This feels like a mix between Sword Art and Reincarnated Slime that can be perverted at times. See more Robert M @RT26987910 Aug 29, 2024 If you are looking for an anime that is darker, this is for you. It is nice to have a story about the villain that is well written. The world is well thought out and there is social character progression. He is super overpowered but that isn't what limits him. See more Alessandro A @RT14928326 May 9, 2024 There are so many flaws that it is hard to list them all. - Childish and immature inspite of being 13+ most of the time - Dialogues laughable - Poor plot and concept. Where do the authors want to lead us? - Illogical decisions of the characters, sometimes it contradicts itself - Poor rythm, sometimes it's really boring and slow Aside from that there are some good ideas, but all in all I doubt I would watch it now if I knew how I felt about it. See more Will W @RT93096103 May 3, 2024 A good start to what promises to be an excellent series. See more Jul 28, 2021 Just finished season one and really enjoyed it, hoping the other seasons will make it to Hulu sometime. See more Read all reviews
