Here we go, yet another isekai, and there’s not much to say about this one, aside from the fact that I’ve played the ED theme for this show like a hundred times, it’s a generic plot line of “Person dies because of this reason, and is completely overpowered in another world”. It’s a slice of life isekai more so than action, and is just ok. Wish they expanded on the game mechanics and why Leadale shut down in the first place a bit more. However, just because it's generic, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad, and I'm sure this show does better than another certain isekai in this anime season.
My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20
STORY: 10/25
The story is basic and inoffensive, but rather uninteresting. Cayna is reincarnated in another world and goes on an adventure, helping people, having fun times with her quirky family, and meeting a whole bunch of people. Again, I wished they went more in depth about the game mechanics and why the game shut down in a more in depth way as well. There was much more they could have done with the story for sure. Overall, there's just not much to remember from Leadale, other than that the story is set in a cozy place.
ART: 7.3/10
Fine art, nothing much to say here. The creatures lot a bit ugly, but the fights are alright, and it’s ok to look at.
MUSIC: 8/10
The ED is awesome! One of my favourites of the season! Soundtrack otherwise is fitting for a cozy isekai like this.
CHARACTERS: 9.7/20
Quite forgettable, but pleasant. We have Cayna, our pleasant overpowered MC that’s probably pretty old inside the world of Leadale, we have her kids, and her grandkids, and they’re kinda quirky and provide comedic relief. If anything, the comedic aspect of these characters were enjoyable at times, but forgettable at most. Overall, good interactions between characters made it somewhat interesting.
ENJOYMENT: 9/15
It was decently enjoyable most of the time, the characters were fun to watch.
THEMATIC EXECUTION: 10.5/20
The theme is a bit muddled, is it a slice of life, or action? I suppose it’s both, but to me, the slice of life elements were handled well. Wish there was more world-building to create the fantasy atmosphere in a more interesting way, as it did get somewhat boring at times.
OVERALL: 54.5/100
A simple generic isekai that was bland, but fine to watch. In a weaker anime season, this is definitely not the worst show, but also this is far from the best. Watch it if you want some nice comedy and simplistic story! Wish Lytt showed up more, since she's so prominent in the ending theme. Overall, just a cozy, inoffensive time. Not awesome, not bad.
