![]() ![]() In comparing the DesuMachi anime story’s progress against the manga, volume 4 was about exploring the Cradle and defeating Undead King Zen, and that story arc was over by anime Episode 9. Fans point out that the anime’s pacing is more like a slice-of-life fantasy intermixed with the occasional action sequence and high-level-creatures-turned-into-food anime. On the positive side, the anime’s plot doesn’t get swamped down in harem rom-com antics like so many isekai anime (think Isekai wa Smartphone). Some critics consider Satou’s character to be banal and he’s technically even more overpowered than Ainz from the Overlord anime. The main criticism of the anime adaptation has been the slow pacing and the fact that the story conforms to many isekai genre tropes. Satou is also not a lolicon who takes sexual advantage of the girls, and in Episode 11 he states, “As your guardian, it’d be ethically wrong to lay a finger on any of you.” On the other hand, Arisa openly believes she’s part of a harem. He declines, but it still comes down to an older “hero” choosing not to sleep with an 11-year-old former princess-turned-sex slave.ĭefenders of the anime point out that Satou does not treat the girls like slaves and they’re more like an adopted family, not a stereotypical anime harem (even though they insist on the master/slave relationship based on cultural imperative). Worse, one of these girls, Arisa, is a Shotacon-loving Japanese woman stuck in a reincarnated 11-year-old body who attempts to seduce him because Satou is stuck in a younger-looking body. Derided as Satou’s Harem March by critics, one review called the DesuMachi anime misogynistic trash because the main character, Satou, gathers a harem of literal slave girls and technically does not free them from slavery. Reviews of the anime have fans either loving it or hating it.
