Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu

Overall the animation the animation is average, and the story makes sense. It's fun to watch and it's not so serious, it's more easy going and one complaint is i want to see more of the "women are more important than men" thing about the story, it occasionally pops up for comedic reasons but it would be cool if it played a bigger part in the story. In conclusion, pretty good anime, but it can be better.

This is an outstanding Isekai anime!

It's hard to find anime that I can engage with how the main character feels. This anime definitely does that for me.

The main character's attitude was so well done, it's hard not to laugh at how he acts in this amine. The plot was hilarious as well. I consider this one of the many masterpieces among Isekai animes'. I won't get into the details because I don't want to spoil it for you, but this anime is worth watching.

Trapped in a Dating Sim offers a delightfully unique take on the isekai genre, where the protagonist is reborn not as the hero, but as an ordinary NPC in a matriarchal otome game. Using knowledge from his previous life and quick wit, he cleverly navigates the absurdities of the game world, disrupting rigid social hierarchies while keeping the story light-hearted and entertaining.

Every character feels distinct and memorable. From Leon and his AI companion Luxion to the supporting cast, each contributes to the charm and humor of the series, making the world feel alive and engaging. The writing is sharp, the comedy is consistently clever, and even subtle emotional moments are handled with care.

While the animation is decent, a slightly higher-quality production would have elevated the experience even further. Nevertheless, the inventive premise, clever humor, and strong characters more than make up for it. I'm eagerly looking forward to Season 2.

Overall, Trapped in a Dating Sim is a brilliant mix of isekai, comedy, and clever storytelling that transforms the life of an ordinary NPC into something extraordinary.

My rating: 10/10.

Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs earns a solid 7.5 out of 10 for its unique take on the isekai genre. The story stands out with its clever twist: instead of the usual hero's journey, we follow Leon, a brutally sarcastic and reluctant participant in a world designed to favor beautiful, over-the-top protagonists. His cynical attitude and realistic reactions to the ridiculous "dating sim" tropes are what make the show truly entertaining. The humor lands well, often poking fun at cliché anime conventions, and the reverse harem setting adds a chaotic charm. While the animation isn't top-tier - especially in non-action scenes - the mecha battles and character expressions are handled decently enough to support the tone. The world-building blends sci-fi and fantasy elements in a way that feels fresh, even if it's not super deep. Supporting characters like Olivia and Angelica add more than just romantic interest - they show growth and personal stakes. While it doesn't dive too deep emotionally, the show's strength lies in its self-awareness and the balance between satire and actual plot development. Overall, it's a great watch for fans of isekai who are tired of the usual power fantasy and want something with humor, irony, and just enough heart to keep things engaging.

Let me know if you'd like a version with more emotional focus, comedy angle, or something personalized with your opinion!

I really don't get why so many people give this show a bad rating. Compared to other shows that have come out this season with a similar premise (isekai), the animation is average but the story is easily more interesting and plotted out in a well-made manner. I am guessing that this anime gets poor reviews solely due to the anime-goers who expected this show to be your typical "loser gets isekai'd to another world and instantly becomes overpowered and obtains a harem of beautiful women". Although this anime has no shortage of isekai-tropes, the story easily stands out because of its unique premise. If you're bored of the typical isekai, please give this series a shot! Only four episodes have aired at the time of this review being written, but the series has offered an intriguing plot to follow. Please don't be deterred by the borderline average animation, as it is still superior to most animes being aired this season.
