Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody or Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku, is based on a japanese light novel and in case you can't tell, it's a isekai anime. The story centers around Ichirou Suzuki, a 29-year old programmer for a company called orbital, who falls asleep the day before the game he was working on, Freedom Fantasy Life, and then gets stuck inside of it.

The story begins with showing us how Ichirou thinks ahead in his train schedule but forgets that sunday is when the train schedule changes, which doesn't really matter because it just means that the train departs a couple of minutes sooner. He doesn't miss the train, so this scene was pointless. Then he arrives and talks with one of his co-workers about how someone quit right before Freedom Fantasy is set to launch and all of the responsibility is shifted to him but he says he can handle it. So they talk a little about things relating to actual game programming, which is a nice touch and makes it so we don't just jump right into the fantasy world, there is at least one thing that it contributes to later as well, which I'll get through in a little bit.

What is pointless is how many times they state that the main character doesn't have a girlfriend, that is essentially the default assumption when going into a anime and considering that this guy will gain a harem later on, it makes it even more clear that he would like one. It shows a shot of a maid cafe and then later he makes a comment about how he should make one of his co-workers take him out to a place with a lot of cute girls on staff, which works well together, but there is a entire scene that could of been removed and they could use that time to show more of the fantasy world.

So on the day before the game is set to release, he falls asleep and enters the world of Freedom, actually Freedom and another game they were working on, War World, combined into one and not only that, he is also now 15-years old again, oh well seeing a anime about a working adult was nice while it lasted, but for some reason it has to be a teenage boy when there is a male protagonist. After he gets his bearings he sees a lizardmen army coming his way and then they start raining arrows down on him. This is when some of the game talk from earlier comes into play with him being able to use just three meteor showers and does so on the lizardmen, killing all 300 of them, I mean I know that they were attacking him and all but that's still 300 intelligent beings he just massacred, but I guess the bigger problem would be that just that many lizardmen, or enemies in general, would earn him over 300 levels and I know enough that I can say that there is no RPG in the world that would let you level up that fast.

But then he gains the ability to use meteor shower whenever he wants even though it was just supposed to be a item, luckily the next time he uses it he destroys the entire canyon that he spawned in so he deems it too dangerous to use, though it's kind of strange that a moblie phone game would have destructible terrain, then again, this game lets you level up to level 300 after defeating the same number of enemies, so I'll let this slide.
So after escaping into a different area, which apparently is actually just a different map and the area he WAS heading to was just the background, after that he goes to sleep, goes to a ruin, encounters a wyvern and then has to go save a army after it runs in their direction, or so he thinks but they can handle themselves and do, actually. But he does save one of the heroines after she gets launched 100 meters into the air, which is nothing considering Ichirou can jump that high, and one of the other mages used a fall damage resistance spell anyways so there was really no point.
It's about what you'd expect from a isekai anime, the main character gets sent to another world and is incredibly strong there, a number of girls that are all in love with him. It hasn't really done anything to set itself apart. I would recommend it to fans of fantasy and especially isekai, but not very much towards people who aren't very into those. Thank you very much for reading, look forward to my look at Violet Evergarden, Märchen Mädchen and Koi wa Ameagari no You ni. Please have yourself a wonderful day.
