Fantasy for Pedophiles
Ever wondered what the dumbest thing to watch might be, after binging every single episode of The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, and How I Met Your Mother? The answer is In Another World with My Smartphone. Not the dumbest anime - just the dumbest thing ever made. Period. Here’s the premise: 15-year-old Touya Mochizuki is accidentally killed by God via lightning. To apologize, God reincarnates him in a fantasy world and grants him one wish. Touya’s choice? His smartphone. God upgrades it to work in the new world - complete with magic charging, news, and Google Maps. He also boosts Touya’s abilities as compensation for the whole accidental murder
thing.
With his overpowered abilities, Touya roams from country to country solving disputes, completing quests, and amassing a harem of clichéd female characters: Cute lolitas, busty sex bombs, and even 600-year-old vampire queens in teenage bodies. The focus soon shifts to which underage waifu Touya might marry, punctuated by irrelevant battles that are resolved in minutes. The series feels like it was written by a socially inept preteen with no grasp of human interaction ever. Episodes devolve into Touya choosing which of the girls to ogle, while ninjas and dragons are just irrelevant background noise. It’s neither so bad it’s funny
nor entertainingly absurd - it’s just sad and awful.
I endured the whole show, not out of hope for improvement, but sheer laziness. In Another World with My Smartphone isn’t just nonsensical - it’s an insult to storytelling and intelligence. Its creators abandoned any semblance of plot to showcase half-dressed fantasy girls vying for the affections of a bland protagonist in a white pimp coat with a magic phone. Even the most pedophilic Steven out there must think that he's being screwed over. If you’re thinking about checking out In Another World with My Smartphone to see for yourself, then I can only say: No! I forbid you to do so! Even roadkill could provide a more compelling narrative. This anime isn’t just bad - it’s the worst. By far.
