Preliminary (3/12 eps)
Awesome monster isekai refreshingly abandons so many annoying tropes!

In a genre that oversaturated with so many cheesy teenaged protagonists, it's so nice to see an adult main character who actually behaves LIKE AN ADULT! So no spoilers, but this MC responds to combat tactfully and then doesn't fall into the trap of "I have to be the only strong one." He first takes time to learn his world and situation, then seeks out to improve it.

And when it comes to female characters, he doesn't grossly objectify them and neither does he treat physical relations like they are the bogeyman. I think this just might be the first anime I've ever seen that suggests the existence of a healthy sexual response. He doesn't force desires on others, and on the other side of the coin when consent/interest is expressed he doesn't ridicule or shame the thought of it in return, like how every teenaged romcom does. And at the same time, this anime shows that sex between adults can exist without turning it into a hentai. Honestly, when the topic came up it hardly even felt lewd at all because instead it portrayed more like a sensible respectful fulfillment of everyone's feelings.

There are only three episodes of the show released so far, but I have rated this with top marks and will definitely be watching it to the very end. I think if more shows could move into this direction of a full adult cast and follow these trends then I think it would do wonders for anime as a whole.
