So today the last episode of this series just dropped and im sad cuz its going to end :( hope we get a new season soon :)
overall, i can say this show was one of the greatest isekai's i've ever watched!
The fun of this show is something else! Hits you where you don't even guess it and actually makes sense. I've seen others saying that this show is not good at all!!! Y'all need to chill. Like c'mon this show is that weekly show everyone enjoys. It's what everyone was waiting for every week. So overall MASTERPIECE :D
i hope we get see shadow-sama again sooon.
Can't wait :D.
I recommend watching this.
I mean i know they didn't follow the path of manga to some degree and skipped some. BUT this anime is good right now. Let's just forget about the manga for a second and talk about the anime itself.
It has alot to offer and its good and as a person how first saw this from anime and then read the manga i can say this anime is worth the watch!

Killed then reborn in a new world, the usual. But in this anime they don't explain anything. The main character as per usual is overpowered but they don't explain why he is so strong or how anything in this world works. He is pretending to not be the main character for no reason really. Not to mention the relationships between people are very weird. Like you could tell the anime isn't that well thought of but ya know it's okay to watch. 7,9 rating made me think that it will be close to other anime's with a high rating but not really. To be in full honesty this anime's real rating is 6,5 so don't get your hopes up.
Though I wasnt sure of the direction the plot was going to be taking, which took a few episodes to get into I found something truly unique. A main character trying not to be a main character is something no show has ever done and the comedic gags it brings along is really hilarious.
The protagonist is simple yet hugely likeable and the characters have unique personalities. Watch at least till ep 11 to give it a thorough understanding of the anime and what its trying to accomplish. Animation is decent and is pretty good in fights, shadow garden and the cult are well defined orders and provide an interesting rivalry.
Worth a watch!

While, the manga is much much better in all most every aspect! I try to judge anime's and manga separately there are references in this anime that I disliked, like this for example anime reference "Dark Knight" in my opinion is weak an overly used everywhere else plus you doesn't get a sense of what means for the characters! In the Manga they are referred too as "Spell-Swords" which is unique name an makes ref to magic swordsman very effective!
But this anime is still great in its own right, an is worth a watch! You don't need to even watch ep1 as it was terrible an there's nothing in it you don't gain from the other 3 eps of what is going on!!! After eps2 things definitely get better for watching!!

This anime was a real surprise to me. I only had minimal interest in watching it, but when I did I was surprised. The first few episodes were average, but by episode 3 I was hooked. Unlike most of my experiences with similar anime's, the episodes just got better and better.
Make sure you watch at least the first three episodes and make sure you watch it on a high quality format, preferably from HIDIVE. If you do you will not be disappointed. The biggest challenge you will have is to pace what you're watching, this series is very easy to binge.
One other advantage I found was the episodes were very re-watchable. I have watched it twice since I watched it originally and enjoyed each watch. I am Atomic!!!
