So it all begins with this gamer named Kon playing an MMORPG and then takes a request that has him in a different world. And he travels with a swordsman, a princess, and a gun-toting maid who is actually a guy. This party is being pursued by a bunch of bishounen that seem to be ripoffs of the Negaverse Generals. They fight one of them named Variation at the start where he was defeated by Kon falling into the world, and they fight another named Erec at a town, defeated by a groin kick while he does his ultimate attack.

This episode was alright and at the very least, the groin kick at the end of the episode was hilarious. Other than that, this show doesn't exactly look like something I would want to continue watching.

From a gamer to an actual knight.
I bet that kid never expected something like that.
The whole situation was pretty LOL
Lots of guys in this anime though.
I was kinda surprised by that.
Interesting anime, pretty fun too.

Oh hey, it's this show again. This is becoming more and more of a regular thing, isn't it? Well this was definitely one of the weakest attempts at what's becoming a tired trope at this point, but it wasn't so bad that I'm about to drop it.

Well, if nothing else, it's got Jun Fukuyama as a crossdressing maid.

Besides that, it's got a guy who's smart enough to realize that someone charging up for an ultimate attack is a prime target for a groin attack. That was definitely funny.

I'll give it another episode, I guess.

Episode 1:

- ...this OP. >_>
- Oh boy. With these low level production values and this annoying male lead, I have a feeling I'm not going to last very long with this.

- Well... that's definitely Fukuyama Jun. o_O
- !!! Ecarlate is Mikami Shiori! AKKARIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! Okay I have to at least finish this episode just for her.
- Heh, maid is pretty amusing. I think Fukuyama and Mikami can make up for my initial negative reaction.

- lol at the stacked male seiyuu cast on the bad guys' side.
- Well, Mariandale definitely isn't just crossdressing. Those are honest to goodness boobs right there. Magical plastic surgery? Hermaphrodite?
- Kick to the balls. Even worse, a spike to the balls... ow.

Um. Well, this is a really throwaway show in most respects but I'll totally watch at least a few more for Princess Akarin and Boobs Fukuyama.

I gotta say, FukuJun's "feminine but deep" voice actually isn't bad, I would not be 100% opposed to that.

But still, s/he's CC with Lulu's voice, which can't be a coincidence.

Also this show is really, really stupid.

[FUNiOP]

"Tama" puns are kind of untranslatable. I guess the subs do about as good a job as they could given the situation. I bet Takamatsu has been saving these since Gintama.

Poor Erecpyle "ED" Dukakis has lost one of his balls and his balance is totally out of whack. In the meantime, Kon "DT" Hakaze picks up a sword, and it turns into a hammer. With it, he delivers another blow in the groin.

That was a funny episode there with all those "tama" stuff going on with ED, and then there was that ending showing off the bishonen enemies who are too funny to really be all that evil. After a slow start, this show might actually be worth something after all. I wasn't expecting much out of this show, but seeing how funny this episode was, I think that this show might be worth something even if it is another one of those dumb shows. And of course, Jun Fukuyama continues to be great as that crossdressing maid sound so convincingly like a woman.

Episode 2:

- He lost a testicle. o_O Ow.
- Pouty protagonist. Shut up and serve Princess Akarin!
- Or just get seduced by Fukuyama Jun, that works too.
- More ball pain for ED.

This ED. >_>
