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

Everything in that series was fine and perfect. To be honest, I have given a review because it touches my heart. If a show can't get to my heart, I Don't review that.

But this series was excellent. Storyline, characters, background was perfect. Can you please bring season 2 for your support and fans. Please give us any confirm dates or trailer so that we can understand that it will release. To be honest, I am waiting for a long time. And I am just upset because, we didn't get any confirm dates or news that it will release in this year. Really, we are waiting for this series, to see the next part of the story.

Hope you guys will give us any good news soon. And Thanks again for this series.

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.

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.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

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.

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.
