~~ A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ ~~ Overall Rating: 4/10 ----- Reason for watching? ----- Heard of the premise, was morbidly curious ----- Reason for finishing? ----- Was amazed by the ridiculous premise, was morbidly curious to see how long it kept the bit going ----- Story: 2/10 -----I can safely say that having only just finished the show I've already forgotten most of the major details. In fact I don't think there is a single plot point that interested me or made sense, which in itself is kinda impressive ----- Art: 5/10 ----- Absolutely nothing to say here, it's art arted, and there was certainly animation. Not really bad in any way, but I wouldn't say it was good either ----- Sound: 5/10 ----- There was not a single memorable moment of sound design or OST, which in itself is disappointing. I'd rather it be awful so I can laugh about it ----- Character: 8/10 ----- In all honesty, I loved a few of the characters enough to keep me going through the whole thing. The MC was hilarious in his cardboardness, and the main girl was honestly very likeable. There was some side characters that were fun and others that made me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty soup spoon, so good job on that I suppose ----- Enjoyment: 10/10 ----- I was in physical pain and astonishment from the start of episode 1 till the end of episode 12. Fever dream of a show and I kinda loved it, not because I enjoyed the experience but because I knew I'd made it to the end somehow and could move on with my life and be a better person. Still would 100% watch a season 2 though ----- Rewatchability: Never/ maybe once for shits and giggles ----- You'd have to pay me to sit through this again, and even then I'd have to seriously think about it. Or you know, re-watch it future me to see if I'm being too harsh. I dare you. ----- Afterthoughts ----- I realise it is a parody of Isekei, the thing is it was too good at being a parody. There were many times I couldn't tell if something would happen intentionally to mock the genre or if it was just hilariously terrible unintentionally. Extremely well done if it was the former ----- Disclaimer ----- A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ is for my own benefit, since I have a hard time remembering shows or why I liked them and I wanna document the journey through this massive anime watch list. To anyone other than future myself who stumbles across this somehow: I don't recommend you listen to me, I'm a dumbass

This show is so bad that it’s made me climb out of my swamp-ass-infested gaming chair out of pure testosterone-fuelled rage just to write a review, which is something I don’t normally do. ——— Story: 2/10 ——— The only reason this isn’t getting a 1/10 is because there is some semblance of a story, and I say this out of pure generosity because the string risking life and limb to keep this narrative intact is incredibly thin. It introduces itself as a clear parody of an isekai, and it’s all downhill from there. Countless plot holes, no clear objective to the main story, and multiple sub-storiesare just some of the issues. The worst part is that nothing that happens in the story matters. An antagonist shows up? Not to worry, dear viewer, don’t waste your time getting invested in the antagonist’s character or even remembering their name. Our trusty MC will kill them in the most anticlimactic way possible before their voice actor has time to wonder if the quick paycheck was worth having their name attached to this project. I’m not even kidding when I say that outside the main characters that keep the plot going, a character is lucky to live past the same episode they’re introduced. It all finally wraps up in another anticlimactic way that you’re numb to by the end of the series. Also, there’s some mecha stuff that I forgot existed in the story until they were shown again in the last ep. ——— Characters: 3/10 ——— In terms of the MC, you’re getting exactly what you came for: an OP giga chad that has never and will never come close to losing EVER. PERIOD. I’m not saying that kind of MC can’t be fun, but here it just flops for me because he makes everything that happens in the story pointless. Like I mentioned, there is no reason to care about any antagonist because as soon as they pose a threat to the MC they die, which by extension, makes it difficult to care about the plot as a whole. The MC is also pretty two-dimensional outside of a backstory they interject with occasionally, which is fine I guess. Everyone else is generic af and plays into some kind of lazy trope. Also, get ready to be bombarded with a million names almost constantly, but if you’re anything like me, don’t bother remembering them because chances are they either matter very little to the story or will die in a few scenes anyway. I swear to god, one episode in particular hits you with at least a dozen names in the span of five minutes. ——— Animation: 5/10 ——— There really isn’t anything much to say here. Frames are in fact playing in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion. The animation/art is just the safe, modern anime style you’re probably used to watching. Nothing bad, but also nothing great. It serves its purpose. ——— Sound: 5/10 ——— Just like the animation, there really isn’t anything noteworthy in this department. The op is fine, although completely forgettable imo and there’s no part of the ost that didn’t just fade into the background. Again, nothing bad but also nothing great. It serves its purpose. ——— Overall enjoyment: 4/10 ——— I picked up this show because it sounded up my alley, but man I can’t be more disappointed. The best thing I can say about this show is that, although very scarcely, it randomly made me chuckle with a gag I wasn’t expecting, probably due to the fact that I lost all ability to expect anything from this show somewhere after the first couple of episodes. ——— Do I recommend watching? ——— I don’t recommend watching this anime if you’re looking for a show that begs at least a handful of brain cells from the audience. If you want something that just barely surpasses children’s YouTube content in terms of narrative and creative quality, you could probably do worse.

When you think about isekai surely one of the first things that come to your head is that it has an OP MC. This show is completely about this, about an OP MC killing things, that’s why it’s called Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga aka Instant Death, and just as those other shows where the OP MC makes every single battle uninteresting because they have no stakes, this series is no different, actually, it is even worse because of how Yogiri is designed to be, he is designed to try to be the strongestcharacter, and not just from his own series, the author of this very clearly tries to make Yogiri the strongest when compared to other characters from other shows. Actually, Instant Death is not a show, it is VS debating brainrot. If you don’t know what’s VS debating is I’ll give a little explanation, have you ever seen people asking “who will win Goku or Superman?”? Well, VS debating is taking that question and actually trying to answer it, people will search feats of the characters, use physics to calc their speed and destructive power and even classify every single one of their abilities, and while classifying them you will get to a tiering system to put the characters in some tier of power level. What do I mean with VS debating brainrot? Well, obviously, some characters will be created unintentionally powerful to the point of being ridiculous, but then what if someone knows about this kind of stuff and decides that he wants his character to be even stronger than them? Well, this series happens, that’s why you get some really specific details about how Yogiri’s instant death ability works, to make it able to affect characters when compared to him in VS debating, that’s why there are random scenes of people saying “oh, he killed my avatar and was also able to kill my real self” or introducing a character to kill their external power source that was in another dimension, this is to showcase his feats, because the creator of this series knows about VS debating, so as I said before, this isn’t a real series and it is more a wanking fest of a character to make him the most powerful fictional character. This makes the series completely worthless, as it doesn’t tell a real story, the characters are just there to have different powers and abilities to be defeated by Yogiri so someone can say “my character can beat this other character” in a discussion. Honestly, even if you watched it because the main character has the ability to kill people and see stupid people “paying the price” for what they did, it would still be a waste of time, the way they die is so instantaneous that it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t feel satisfactory to see idiots die because they just drop dead on the spot. You can’t watch it for the animation because it is terribly done, none of the battles between other people matter because the protagonist can kill them with a thought and they just drop dead. This series is a pit of nothingness, there’s nothing here, it doesn’t exist, because it’s complete and utter shit, it’s the meme of the OP isekai MC but taken to the absolute extreme, so it is just boring to watch. Honestly, the only reason why I knew about this series beforehand was because of hearing about Yogiri in VS debating posts, because there’s nothing more to discuss about this show. Thank you for reading.

Robot-chan best girl, change my mind. This anime is about the most OP character ever, you can't kill him, but he can end everything in existence. Nickname: Waifu-kller. If you want to find new waifus, this anime is not for you; 99% of all waifus will die. You will not understand the story at all, they skip almost every piece of information from the LN. The characters are mid, basically, the whole anime survives only thanks to the power of the END, which is the power of the MC to end anything. You can watch it if you want to see MC that doesn't give a fuckand just kill everything that doesn't appeal to his eye. As somebody said, it's the best type of garbage anime.
