This was first announced back in March, so that it was coming eventually has been known for a while.

I reviewed the first novel back in 2019, and at the time I said that it would adapt well into anime form. It should be crazy, sexy, flippant fun somewhat in the spirit of Konosuba

Is it good? Kemono Michi it's by the author of Konosuba too, and it sucked.

Better than kemono michi, but it's definitely weird. If konosuba is an isekai parody, I like to consider this an "isekai parody" parody. I just made that term up, but just calling it a parody of isekai isnt enough for how ridiculous it is. It starts with spoiler[not even technically being an isekai, it's technically just scifi. But it's still totally isekai as well. A parody of the very idea of isekai instead of just being an isekai but with tongue and cheek humor.]

While his behavior is somewhat Kazuma-like, "super-abusive towards the female characters" is not accurate (unless he behaves way worse after the first volume).

Like with Konosuba, all of the core cast members have major issues; the MC is a meathead whose ideas about being evil (which he's supposed to do as part of his job) mostly involve petty annoyances, another is an android with an attitude, the female knight is perpetually in debt because she can't stop impulse-buying for her sword collection, and so forth. It's a wholly different mix from Konosuba, but can be fun nonetheless.

he pulls down female knights underwear in front of a lot of people, with the necromancer , he does the pull up the akirt and tie it that was considered hardcore bullying in ikkitousen. i am trying to remember if he beats up one of the females, tho i think he does not so that would still make him tamer than a shoujo lead male

Since both Combatants Will Be Dispatched and Edens Zero (also by J.C Staff) is premiering on April and Funimation gained the license only for Combatants Will Be Dispatched, I have an odd feeling that Edens Zero will be licensed by Sentai Filmworks, Aniplex of America, Viz Media, Crunchyroll, or Netflix. Who knows?

Even Funimation co-produce it, but is it mean that an English dub is also being Guaranteed ? Since March last year when Funimation delaying their dub, Funimation never include a confirmation of an english dub if the new anime was being licensed to them like " X anime will be avalaible to Funimation Sub and Dub.

It's more of the same really. It's only for those who devoured everything Konosuba had to offer and liked Kemono Michi.

It's the same old "hopeless people in another world" gag. So, pass.

Yes! I'm loving this! The oppai is on point. I'm going to wait for the BD. TV quality is a no for this.
