The second season of Fruit of Evolution already got announced, though, so I can only assume that Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World is simply another random act of psychic violence made to prove that, if there ever even was a God, He has long since abandoned us to a universe guided by chaos and apathy. This is just pathetic. Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World? So we get every tired isekai trope in the book thrown at us with pure apathy. This, it is clear, is not just about hapless, horny seventeen-year-old isekai victim Michio assembling a harem in a labyrinth in another world – it's about him buying a harem in a labyrinth in another world. He gets to have sex!! However, setting it in stone by spreading his character arc over several episodes would have likely been a better choice. Except there's the "Harem" portion of the title, which we get a glimpse of when our hapless "hero" gets lured into the sex-slave trade. On one hand, it needed to do an awful lot of character building for our hero and introduce us to the world. It's a little too blasé to be palatable or even to work as a plot point, and while it may be intended to indicate that he's a hardened consumer of isekai media, it just comes off as lazy writing. Well, actually his first questions are whether the slave can kill him or run away, which demonstrates an understanding that hey, enslavement is actually pretty awful and what he's doing to another person is indefensible.
The episode seems to loosely imply that this is a coping mechanism—something to help keep him sane when faced with the true gravity and implications of his situation and his actions in it. I'm not even mad about the slavery stuff, at this point, since that's just par for the course with the genre, but Harem in Another World can't even succeed at being shameless trash. The Summer 2022 Preview Guide. Despite being billed as a super horny fuckfest, this premiere is entirely about going through the dull stuff you have to do when you're pretending your porn series has a narrative. That's because otherwise, this premiere would be a total dirge to get through. That's the kind of amazing, unintentional art that can make for a hilarious time. To all of this it must be added that there's not a whole lot going on with the plot, either. Or hell, just do away with attempts at justification and make Michio a total scumlord who enjoys it. But really, that's the stuff that's true of a lot of these shows. Michio, like another isekai protagonist this season, failed to read the pop-up on his computer, and that catapulted him into what he thought was the VR game of his dreams…but then he can't log out. It's just watching this anthropomorphic department store mannequin check his stats and read info screens on his video-game menu while characters dole out meaningless exposition. Well, now that I've gotten my silly joke out of the way, all I have to say about Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World is that it's bad. Unfortunately, trying to do both in a single episode leaves the former feeling a bit too rushed—especially given all the heavy lifting it has to do in explaining why Michio is able to throw out his earthy morals and get right into buying slaves.
That he really wants to buy a sex slave. Even if this was all that Harem in Another World was going for, it would still be the worst premiere I've seen this summer, because it doesn't even have the dignity to pretend like it has a reason to exist. It's an obvious attempt to paint over the fact that everything he's doing is objectively unsympathetic, and the mealymouthed excuses only serve to make him less likable than he already was. I have been informed that "nars" is the in-world currency in Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World. That he is truly a stranger in a strange world.
What really kills this story dead is just how badly it tries to justify and rationalize why it's totally cool for our protagonist – who the show insists is a perfectly nice guy – should buy a woman exclusively to have sex with. Doesn't make it good, and I won't be bothering with another second of this mess, but at least it made this delve into the labyrinth tolerable. The point is slavery fetish porn, and the version on Crunchyroll is censored to hell and back, including, hilariously, bleeping out the words "sex slave. Just a single tube of lipstick costs over $30. The first two-thirds of the premiere is the most paint-by-numbers "Reborn in a Video-Game" isekai imaginable. His real-world morals can be completely ignored, just as one would do when playing Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty. That we cap off the episode with him heroically vowing to earn enough money to buy his dog-girl slave of choice just puts the rotten cherry on top of the shit sundae that is this whole premise. On the other, it had to set up the first driving goal of the anime: making enough money in five days to buy Roxanne. If we actually get more into his psychology and how his morals from our world are clashing with his actions in this one, it could be an interesting examination of the whole "slaves are totally cool to have" thing seen in so many recent isekai anime. All in all, I'm not sure how I feel about Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World. So with that bit of unpleasantness out of the way, let's talk about the other unfortunate thing about this episode: it's censored.
Basically, in this episode we see Michio grapple with the following facts: - That he is trapped with no way home. Either way, it's a distasteful plot element made worse by the fact that he only gets into lady-shopping when he's specifically sold Roxanne as a sex slave by a canny, yet utterly reprehensible, slave trader. Discuss this in the forum (216 posts) |. It is sure to anger anyone trying to watch this show for its sexual content, but for my money there's no better way to watch this show. I often say that the one job that a premiere has to do is make an argument for why a show should exist, and Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World fails on all counts.
But that's not the main concern of this show's audience, is it? Or buying the harem to go into the labyrinth. It turns the scene of the friendly neighborhood slave trader selling our hero on his finest dog-girl maid into a joke right out of Yu-Gi-Oh! How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord managed to have its cake and enslave it too by having Diablo's pair of D/S girlfriends get collared by pure happenstance. If this is your kind of fetish then more power to you, whatever floats your boat, but if the story wants to indulge in the sexual fantasy of slavery, it either needs to go whole-hog or find a more clever way to dance around it. But thankfully the version I watched was slathered with error screens and other equally hilarious ways to cover up tits and taints, and had the cadence of an especially spicy episode of The Jerry Springer Show. Going by its premiere, Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World is one of those perfect storms of garbage that I almost have to suspect was a prank created specifically to make me suffer, personally. You could easily do that here and it'd save both the show and audience a lot of time. I feel that this first episode of Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World was stuck in a bit of a no-win situation. I'll just have to watch a bit more and see.
The writing is dull and the story is poorly paced, although it is kind of funny seeing the slave trader Alan utilize car salesman hard-sell tactics to convince Michio to invest in a sex slave. That is a lot for a character to go through in a single episode—much less the first episode. Over this in a heartbeat. Michio is Yet Another Kirito Clone except that he thinks solely with his dick the moment sex comes into the equation. Moreover, each step is important because it forms how he comes to view the world he is stuck in and his own place in it. Instead he basically decides slavery is totally fine because hey, everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't he also participate in a dehumanizing system that turns sentient beings into property? Even if I were a person with no scruples about what I consumed, who did not feel intensely creeped out by how Michio had no compunction about purchasing a woman to have sex with, who was totally comfortable with slavery fetishists, I would think it was a bad show.
Rating: Holy crap, a slave costs 60, 000 Nars products? He hears he can pay money to get his dick wet and asks, "How much? " While there's nothing quite as bizarre as the digital artifacting that turned WEH into a dada-ist masterpiece, we instead get a show entirely built around our hero buying women to have sex with, where they have to bleep out the words "sex slave. " There's just not enough here to make up for its deficiencies even if all of those deficiencies don't bother you, so if you're looking for sexy fanservice, I'd recommend Bastard!! If, however, what we got in this episode is all we ever get on that front, I think I may pass on the rest of this series. I had a bad feeling when all of the ladies in the opening theme had collars with a place for a chain to attach to. After all, it would make him far more empathetic than he appears in this episode—especially in scenes like the one where he is lusting over a virgin slave that the slave trader assures him it's okay to buy and have sex with "because she actually wants it. Seriously, what is the point of airing a show like this during broadcast hours when all of the sex and nudity is going to be censored to hell and back? The censorship is an interesting combination of the massive amount of coverage we saw in World End Harem but done with road signs and computer error messages rather than a five- year-old with a sharpie, and I'm hard-pressed to say if it's better or worse; at least it's not as ugly, I guess?
But if you're watching this for the mature rating and sexy bits, you may find yourself disappointed, because you really can't see anything besides some highly questionable boob "jiggling" (they move more like clappers) and, as an added bit of censorship, several of the spoken words are beeped out. Man, they got that second season of World's End Harem out fast! Every game has its rules—and so does this fantasy world. As long as he follows these rules, he is in the clear.
He doesn't feel disgust over how common slavery is in this world for a single instant, but accepts it with a shrug and, later, an erection. How else could you explain this show, which somehow combines the two absolute worst recurring trends in modern anime? Yet here we are just three months later and we've got a contender that could be even funnier than its spiritual predecessor. Multiply that by 60, 000 and it's well over a million dollars. Michio's vibes, by the way, are absolutely rancid. Just add its name to the baffling long list of "Anime That Desperately Wants to Be Porn But Are Too Cowardly to Commit". How was the first episode? That he murdered a whole bunch of people. That this is a real world, not a game world.
I'm never gonna be into this whole slave-wife shtick that so many isekai like to dip their toes into, but I'd at least respect the story more if it admitted its hero was an amoral creep who just shrugs when he inadvertently sells one person into slavery and then is easily massaged into buying another. High school student Michio Kaga was wandering aimlessly through life and the Internet, when he finds himself transported from a shady website to a fantasy world — reborn as a strong man who can use "cheat" powers.
