@ myskaros - Anything that’s similar to To Love Ru on some level will always have my attention. Okay then, thanks for telling me this and I’ll be open to trying this out when it premieres. Hopefully, it will at least end up being entertaining/fun to watch.

@ Nyron - You’ve made it quite clear in the past that you don’t like these types of shows, so your massive sarcastic and sweeping generalization-like posts are quite unnecessary and doesn’t achieve anything other than making it harder for you to make friends here. Why would anyone post something on a topic/genre that they don’t even like? Sounds like a waste of effort to me.

It does have a rather skeevy sounding plot summary but I will give it a try since a good number of people say that it has a good story.

That is unfortunate and personally I enjoy different shows such as Escaflowne, Gate, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, Log Horizon, Re:Creators, SAO, and The Devil is a Part-Timer.

all of those shows are the same except for escaflowne. escaflowne had too much world building and original aesthetic and drama to be a successful isekai show.

cheaply-made romps about teens who are actually walking tvtropes articles getting into harmless hijinks or comically violent hijinks are both fine because ultimately they're just brainless filler. as long as i don't have to think or feel emotions when watching shows except for "oh that's violent w0w" or "ha ha ha the tsundere is yelling at the aloof guy", i'm very content.

i was not going to watch grimgar at first, because the art was great, but as soon as i heard that it was an isekai plot for absolutely no reason, i jumped on it instantly

Don't worry: he decides getting the collars off is one of his priorities pretty quickly(as in early enough it's not a spoiler quickly).

Lawd! Dat oppai. Great visual. Plot sounds good so I'm interested. Looking forward to a trailer.
