Harem In A Labyrinth Of Another World Uncensored

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. 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. 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. 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? 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.

That's because otherwise, this premiere would be a total dirge to get through. 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. You could easily do that here and it'd save both the show and audience a lot of time. That he is truly a stranger in a strange world. 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. 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. Rating: [404 Error – Not Found]. 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. Michio is Yet Another Kirito Clone except that he thinks solely with his dick the moment sex comes into the equation. It's boring as all hell, and barely animated since all of the production values were funneled into the jiggling, cranium-sized bazongas that are now locked behind those censor bars. 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. Michio has literally not a single discernable personality trait, and he apparently got reborn into a bargain-bin RPG that probably cost a dollar in some Steam sale. Yet here we are just three months later and we've got a contender that could be even funnier than its spiritual predecessor. Basically, in this episode we see Michio grapple with the following facts: - That he is trapped with no way home.

Seriously, I figured it would be a good long while before we saw another show so desperate to be porn, held back by the strictures of TV broadcasting until it morphed into a surreal, hilarious car crash. 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. 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. 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. On one hand, it needed to do an awful lot of character building for our hero and introduce us to the world. I feel that this first episode of Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World was stuck in a bit of a no-win situation. That is a lot for a character to go through in a single episode—much less the first episode. Michio's vibes, by the way, are absolutely rancid. 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. He doesn't just decide to make the best of a bad situation, or to do as the Romans do. 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. Basically, Michio is able to deal with everything that happens by couching it in game terms. 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. 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.

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. Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World? How was the first episode? Just add its name to the baffling long list of "Anime That Desperately Wants to Be Porn But Are Too Cowardly to Commit". Or hell, just do away with attempts at justification and make Michio a total scumlord who enjoys it. The first two-thirds of the premiere is the most paint-by-numbers "Reborn in a Video-Game" isekai imaginable.

I'm not sure if that's original to the source material, but it is fairly annoying; sure we can guess what words are being used, but it makes about as much sense as how words are edited out of songs on the radio – if we all know, why bother? 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. Discuss this in the forum (216 posts) |. 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. Over this in a heartbeat. How would you rate episode 1 of. 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. 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. But really, that's the stuff that's true of a lot of these shows. 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. 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. Just a single tube of lipstick costs over $30. Every game has its rules—and so does this fantasy world.

I have been informed that "nars" is the in-world currency in Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World. 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. 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. 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. How else could you explain this show, which somehow combines the two absolute worst recurring trends in modern anime? Don't worry, though, he's pretty chill with that, even though it means that he's become a murderer by wiping out an entire bandit gang and got a guy sold into slavery, because…that's just how this world works?

I'll just have to watch a bit more and see. That dissonance made this premiere one of the funniest things I've watched in a while. He hears he can pay money to get his dick wet and asks, "How much? " That's the kind of amazing, unintentional art that can make for a hilarious time. 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.

To all of this it must be added that there's not a whole lot going on with the plot, either. 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. However, setting it in stone by spreading his character arc over several episodes would have likely been a better choice. That this is a real world, not a game world. 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. Rating: Holy crap, a slave costs 60, 000 Nars products? The Summer 2022 Preview Guide.

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! 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. 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. This article has been modified since it was originally posted; see change history. So we get every tired isekai trope in the book thrown at us with pure apathy. 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? 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. Potatoman wakes up with a magic sword and the ability to read game menus, proceeds to kill some nameless bandits and shrug his way through a tutorial village, and then gets talked into buying a slave so the actual point of this show can presumably happen next episode. On the other, it had to set up the first driving goal of the anime: making enough money in five days to buy Roxanne. Man, they got that second season of World's End Harem out fast!

The characters can't even say the word for the smut they're trying to peddle—and that's usually not a good sign for the quality of the smut! His real-world morals can be completely ignored, just as one would do when playing Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty. He gets to have sex!! I can't even give it my lowest score, because that is usually reserved for shows that make me actively upset or miserable. That's an expensive makeup brand! 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!! It is startlingly ugly, with its hand-drawn characters poorly composited onto computer-modeled backgrounds worthy of a Windows 2000 screensaver and baffling directorial flourishes. So with that bit of unpleasantness out of the way, let's talk about the other unfortunate thing about this episode: it's censored. 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. " As long as he follows these rules, he is in the clear. That he really wants to buy a sex slave.

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.
