Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs

I fell love this anime. It is one of my most favorites anime now. Usually I don't like otome game anime. But this one managed to win my heart. I love the characters development of the main 3 and also how they get closer over time each character overcoming their insecurities. It was wholesome to see. Hope this doesn't get cancelled. Angelica and Olivia's chemistry is great. I love Leon's trash talking he's not overly kind and is on savage side. To me characters that way to morale are boring. Leon's savage but still kind hearted inside personality is what makes the show great. Eagerly awaiting for season 2.

"Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs" is an entertaining anime series that combines the elements of romance, comedy, and isekai (another world) genre. The story follows the protagonist who finds himself trapped in a dating simulation game as a side character, facing various challenges and comedic situations. The anime offers a lighthearted and humorous take on the isekai concept, with enjoyable character interactions and witty dialogue. While the animation and artwork are decent, the series truly shines in its comedic moments and clever twists. Overall, it's a fun watch for fans of otome games and those seeking a light-hearted isekai experience. Rating: 9.5 out of 5 stars.

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.

This anime series is centred on Leon Fou Bartfort, an officer worker who dies and is reincarnated into the world of a video game. It isn't a game he likes but an otome dating game his sister forced him to play. He is a lowly male character in a world where women rule and characters like him have a hard time. From his knowledge of the game he manages to acquire powerful equipment and enrols in the prestigious Holtfort Academy where he rubs shoulders with the elite of this world. Inevitably he makes some enemies here, as well as a few friends.

I thought this was a decent enough series. The isekai genre is somewhat crowded and there are certainly better examples than this... there are also far worse. It is the sort of series that is fun while you watch it but is likely to be forgotten about soon after it ends. The characters might not be the most original but they are entertaining to watch. The action is solid and there is a decent level of unforced humour. The animation is pretty good and the characters are suitably distinctive. Overall I'd not call this a must see but it is worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre.

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.
