Sinopse:
A long time ago, the ancient saviors of humanity founded a village as their haven, with their descendants said to assist humanity in times of extreme chaos. This village, Kunlun, is located just beside the infamous "Last Dungeon"—a place where monsters of unimaginable strength reside and which serves as the hunting grounds for Kunlun residents.
Despite being accustomed to defeating powerful enemies since childhood, Lloyd Belladonna regards himself as the weakest in his village in terms of magic, strength, and intelligence. Even so, to fulfill his desire of becoming a soldier, he goes to the Kingdom of Azami to enroll in its military academy. However, as someone whose upbringing defies common sense, Lloyd's innate power might just prove to be the key to end the crises enveloping the kingdom!

Did you want another fantasy with a main character that is perfect, and with a comedy that relies on people screaming and getting hit all the time and girls falling in love with this MC in two seconds? Well, my friend, this is your chance! If you didn’t, run away. Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari (yes, I had to copy-paste the name because I don’t even know it, lmao, why do they make names like these) is a fantasy anime that is mediocre and poor, but not THAT bad. The story is the same fantasytrope: a guy, called Lloyd, who comes from a little town that wants to be its pride and joy by entering the hero academy. He makes a lot of friends on his way because of how nice and innocently pure he is, and the most important is that he is strong as hell and he didn’t even realize that, even being insecure about his own strength and power. The repetitive joke that goes around all the time is that he is soooo strong that everybody gets surprised when they see his huge power. Just another character whose creator is in love with him.
The story starts with a pacing that is chill. It is acelerated, but is not so rushed. Later on, by the third episode, it just explodes. The pacing gets real rushed and you don’t have a clue of what’s going on. A lot of characters, suddenly, change their personalities and they reveal their real personalities, and the funny part is that they are just dumbasses that start to behave differently. That was taken out of nowhere. One witch suddenly is a lost princess, one of the army (that is a potus for the first episodes) suddenly becomes some kind of traitor (or mister culprit, as they call him). And from one moment to another they are invading a castle and having a fight against a Demon Lord that has possessed the king. Wait a minute… what? Am I watching the same story that I was watching the last week?
Things like that happens all the time. One episode they are doing one thing, and in the next one they are in a total new stuff, and this is not episodic, this is just a bad work. Characters with no charism nor meaning appear like that and don’t contribute anything to the plot. They can’t stop over-joking, and in the next minute you are supposed to take them very seriously.
In terms of characters, what I want to center the most is how this work’s author don't have a clue. Not even one single woman in this anime is well writen, they are not even close to be decent characters! I want to start with the one I hated with my entire heart. Selen is the typical drooling dog that only cares about main character’s dick. She is the most freaking annoying, disgusting, shallow and pathetic character I’ve seen in a while. All she does is to talk about Lloyd, to follow him, to blush around him, to be useless and to do her favourite task: to keep away, to threaten and to act like a cringe yandere to every woman that wants to talk to Lloyd. It is so vomitive that I wanted her to disappear from the show. The worst part is that a big part of the comedy in this show is about her being disgustingly nosy, and meddling in Lloyd’s interaction with every human being. If you still think that this kind of jelausy jokes are funny instead of painful, I admire you. Selene was a princess who was known as the “belt princess” because she had a belt wrapped on her head that couldn’t be unwrapped, and she seemed to be an interesting character the first twenty seconds, until she meets Lloyd an he unties the belt and lets her free. She takes that as a sign of fate and decides that he is the love of her life. After that, she just becomes Yuno Gasai but without the killing, just the cringe part. What is it Yuno without her killing and her dark aspects? Well, nothing. That “nothing” is what Selene is.
At first I thought that those jokes about her being unbearable wouldn’t take a great part on the story, so I letted pass, but when I was about fourth episode and I knew it wouldn’t stop, I knew this was going to be really lame. When she knows the witch that lives with him, she totally freaks out and cries and makes a whole unnecessary drama. Even after that moment, they start to deal with serious matters, and she is just like “then… are you his wife?” and cries. STOP, THE JOKE SHOULD HAVE ENDED A LOT AGO. I want to think it as a joke; otherwise I will be the one crying.
The other females are a thieve that has not even one interesting feature but she is reckless and a hot mercenary. That’s all. Later we have the witch I mentioned Lloyd lives with: she is so clumsy and stupid that all the jokes that revolve around her are about her being beaten, her screaming, her insulting her boss (and everytime she does that, her boss appears and makes fun of her. All. The. Time), her tripping. For those minutes that I spent watching those scenes I thought I was watching an Adam Sandler’s movie. Only the fart jokes were missing.
The last female is the witch’s boss that has her relevance but that is only a loli that can’t be taken serious and that all she does is to praise Lloyd and to annoy the witch because she has nothing else to do. Amazing female characters, I’m so proud. Letting them aside, the other problem here is the dear MC, Lloyd. He is so perfect that it really kicks me in the masculine genitals that I lack. He is not interesting at all. He is just so good that everyone loves him for no reason. I just... I can’t say no more because this main character is almost non-existent.
The visual art is mediocre, is colorful just like a fantasy is, and soft; animation is nothing to save.
In conclusion, this anime doesn’t have anything good to rescue. It’s bad written, is disorganized, has terrible characters, lousy pacing and has like no story. Don’t watch it, not even if you love fantasies.

Comedy is Subjective. And the short answer is simple: Of course it is, don’t be ridiculous. Except when it isn’t. Clear? No? Oh...I thought this was going so well. Comedy is subjective because different people laugh at different things. That doesn’t mean it isn’t, nor does it mean there’s something wrong with our own sense of humor – it just means it’s not for us. Some people don’t find ‘Monty Python’ or ‘The Hitch-Hikers’ Guide to the Galaxy' funny. They are, of course, wrong because they disagree and that will never do. What’s that? I’m not the centre of the universe nor the arbiter of whatis and isn’t funny? Really? Have you got written evidence of that? You have? Oh okay, they’re not wrong either...it’s really not that complicated. Funny isn’t universal, it’s very, very personal. So personal in fact, that when someone doesn’t find a show funny they start issuing death threats and demanding the people involved be erased from existence. The effort and aggression people put into not liking the people who wrote/created comedy they don’t like is staggering and frankly a bit odd.
On the other hand, I’d say comedy isn’t subjective when it fails to amuse the people it was specifically created for. Let's say if you like a particular stand-up comedian and, in the middle of a funny set, he tells a joke which repeatedly fails to elicit a laugh from every audience he plays to, then it’s not funny. Move on. If you create shows aimed at the same audience who loves said shows and they hate it...it’s not funny. You’ve failed. Kill yourself, now. Do it now. Except...maybe you haven’t failed? Maybe it’ll find a different audience who’ll love it? Or maybe it won’t. Maybe I’ve no idea what I’m talking about and should shut the f*** up? On balance, that seems increasingly likely.
The point is, just because you don’t find something funny, doesn’t mean it isn’t. Unless the person was specifically trying to make you laugh, in which case it probably isn’t. Or you haven’t got a sense of humour. Or the person misunderstood what kind of thing you find funny. Or something else. Or possibly you’ll find it funny next time you hear it because you either didn’t get it or were too busy worrying about other things that would make your time more valuable. And that you can take it as a boon or a bane to your "funny" bones.
And now, back to Last Dungeon. Those recommendations you see that are similar to this show, they're oh-so-wrong. Instead, I'll refer us back to Spring 2018 with a little unknown show named Last Period, based off a gacha mobage game. To the minority whom have watched Last Period before, the similarities between this and Last Dungeon aren't that hard to match up with the same exact humor style of underlying fun with the silliness and stupidity cranked up to 11. Sure, what Last Period has an edge over Last Dungeon with lies in its blatant KonoSuba-ish tactic of references and puns strewn in for the comedic effect that fits and works, but that's not to say that what the latter lacked doesn't make up for in the comedic space. Last Dungeon rather, uses common tropes (in this case, a character that's incrediously OP on the outside and weak on the inside) and gives it the comedic push to good effect. It doesn't need to be "on the ball" or "over the top" like similar brethren out there, but it only needs to do enough to make it stand out from the crowd with the fantasy adventure meta lore, balancing out plot for comedy that doesn't feel like it's both oversaturated and stretched to the limit (though it can be felt at times).
If anything, Last Dungeon excels at its vast range of characters who each serve a purpose, even if they're nothing special to scoff at, other than the impending dumbfounded-ness that lingers at each and everyone's unique traits for timely comedic hilarity. Starting with the MC Lloyd Belladonna, you might think that he's the classic case of the usual OP character at first glance (and you're definitely correct at that), but take a look at the village that he lives in, and everything you see is the exact opposite. It's so easy to misjudge and label Lloyd as the typical OP-for-nothing character, but yet even when his ambition is made clear to protect his own village by earning his powers through hard work, that is a sign of the above-average generic character development that is a refresher in the fantasy landscape. Other than his non-common sense thinking that shrouds over the many girls that flout around him, I'd say that they have their strengths and weaknesses (although the one definite strength lies in the "intentional" harem): there's a loli grandma in a childlike body; a witch that beneath the coat lies a princess figure that otherwise is known for karma-cussing over the loli grandma for being Lloyd's guardian each and everytime; the occasional yandere "Cursed Belt" princess who always simps over the MC for a "white knight" appearance; the mercenary with one-arm whose love for money is unparalleled; and the strong girl with the fascination of matching her powers to the MC. Plus, the many side characters that serve to help integrate Lloyd into the human world, from the obtuse generics of a magic academy to the villains with hidden motives, everything is there to provide a course for the MC to follow and tread through, pretty much like a typical JRPG (but without the RPG elements). IMO, I personally love when characters make a mockery of themselves, only to be hilariously lambasted of the perceiving hitting rock-bottom when reality hits hard. Of course, they do show concern for one another when situations go off-hitch.
At first I was skeptical of the "quantity over quality" of Liden Films helming 4 shows for the Winter season alone, the likelihood of production teams crashing midway to meet deadlines is a serious litigation point in the anime industry. But surprisingly enough, Last Dungeon managed to stay consistent with its decent production values, not to mention the easily simple, yet recognizable character designs and comedic facials for the relentless comedy hilarity; good ol' adventure-fantasy labelled visuals that are pleasing to the eye, and the above-average animation to back this show up. Same goes with the music, which also is the average so-so quality that isn't worth remembering, but fine at best. My only plus point is Luce Twinkle Wink☆'s ED, after the Gamers! vibe of a nice ED, the same vibes carry over to this show, and I instantly fell in love with it from the very beginning. What a song to end each episode with the 4 central girls (Marie, Selen, Riho and Phyllo) for that harem take.
Once again, in the same slew and veins of fantasy adventure shows, the simple case of "Comedy is Subjective" goes straight down to the viewer, and that's for you to decide whether this is worth or wasting your time. If yes, then great, come along for the ride, but if not, this isn't the type of show you're looking for. To say that I recommend this "good" show is just undermining the significance of Last Period and similar contemporaries which may have done the comedy gag job the same or better. Try other similar shows first before coming back to this one, and see how your tastes vary.

This show is bad. Why you ask, one of the most important things in an anime is the characters and the mc obviously, good animation and sounds are nothing without characters that you will be happy to see, not like this pathetic garbage excuse of an mc Lloyd. I understand the idea of an op mc who is oblivious about how strong he is and the harem around him (not that I like it too much) but in this show, they took it on a whole new level I am pretty sure that the mc doesn't think that he was in adangerous situation in the first 11ep and he is just dumb, not the funny dumb but the annoying kind of dumb, the kind that if the show was good it becomes horrible because of this dumbness.
Enough about the bad mc, the story is trash, we hardly know anything bout the villains and suddenly
(spoilers) they are doing it for Lloyd just because (end of spoilers)
yeah sooooo this isn't even the type where it's bad but you can watch it to waste time no, please don't watch.

I'll get to it straight away. This is not worth your time. It's best if you just watch some small clips on youtube or something. The story follows a boy who believes that he is weak just because everyone else between him is strong. To put it in perspective, he is level 99, while all the others around him are level 100. But because he has low self-confidence, his level gets reduced by 20. (btw, there are no level concepts in the series itself, I was just making an example. Don't misunderstand.) It's a great and unique concept... but the story itself is just a pile of clicheand bad plot. It's a shame because if it had taken itself seriously, it would've easily become one of the greatest zero-to-hero stories. But instead, we got a "comedy" anime that isn't actually funny.
The characters are pretty boring and forgettable. They are all one-dimensional characters that are trapped by their archetypes, not being able to develop. They don't develop because the series needs to run the same old jokes over and over, and developing just one character would ruin the entire formula of their joke.
The animation is decent. It's stuttery at times, and even has a lot of off-model frames, but it's decent. Don't expect too much.
The music is a mixed bag. The ost is dogsh*t, even insulting at times. It's just fart noises and vibration that makes the action feels... comical, but not in a funny way.
The OP and ED however are complete bangers. I could play them on repeat all day and still not find them boring.
The enjoyment I have here is non-existent. The first few episodes, 1-4, had me laughing and had me hoping that this will be a good anime, or decent at the very least. Oh boy, how wrong I was. The middle to the end is so boring that I felt like I wasted my time watching it. There wasn't any tension to the serious scenes at all since we all know that it will end in a comical way. Also, the jokes that were funny in the first few episodes are beaten to death, stretched across the entire season.
It's annoying, making the same jokes over, and over, and over, and over again. I'd laugh way harder if I saw a 2010's Dinosaur meme.
Overall, just like I said, don't watch this anime. If you didn't listen, then that's on you. Prepare to get bored in this anime if you decide to watch it.
(3.8/10)

Tatoeba is one of the hidden gems of the season, plain and simple. It’s nothing revolutionary or mind blowing, but it’s fun, and at the end of the day, that’s what anime is about. What I like most about this series is the fact that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Tatoeba knows it has an OP protag with a harem and all the generic fantasy tropes that we’ve come to expect from this genre, yet it pulls them off in a satisfying way. The effective use of comedy and banter throughout the series creates a really fun and light atmosphere that makes every episodeseem like a 5 minute short. The characters have their own fun quirks and feel unique in the context of the story, and their relationships with the MC, are a blast to watch. The story isn’t much to write home about, but you won’t even notice because you’ll be too busy laughing your ass off every episode.
The technical aspects of the show aren’t anything special, there’s one notable fight towards the end of the show, but that’s about it. The art is a really cutesy modern style which I enjoyed, and the OST is pretty good as well. On a side note, remember when anime didn’t have to boast the highest technical stats for it to be enjoyable? Tatoeba feels like a return to that. Good old fashioned fun.
I can’t recommend this show enough for someone who’s looking for a meme in anime form. If you want something funny to watch and just turn your brain off to mindless entertainment, this is it. It’s been the highlight of my Mondays for the past 3 months and I will definitely be sad to see it go. Tatoeba gets 8 snake belts out of 10.

Tatoeba Last Dungeon as I'll call it since I can't bother to write the entire name, is an absolute dumpster-fire of an anime. Lets start off with the story. First few episodes were decent, it wasn't incredibly fast paced nor was it downright slow. It was doing good. Then after episode 4, everything goes downhill rapidly. The plot was incredibly confusing, fast paced, and overall, shit. In terms of comedy and jokes, they're just nonexistent. Art and Sound: Decent, I guess?? There's really nothing to say about them, they're both mediocre and middle-of-the-pack. The Characters. Oh boy. I don't know what to tell you besides them being utterly shitty and unlikeableto the core. Our main character of this anime, Llyod, may be strong, but is completely oblivious to it. You'd think at some point, he'd realize, but NO. It's incredibly frustrating to watch him do something amazing and badass, and yet still be completely oblivious. And that's not even the worst part.
The side characters are just as worse, if not, even worse. I absolutely hate Selen. Words cannot express how much I want her gone from existence, but I'll try my best. All she does in the anime is literally just fawn over Lloyd to the point that it gets so repetitive and annoying. Like, ffs, please just do SOMETHING that isn't "Llyod this... and Lloyd that..." The other characters are incredibly generic, boring, and not interesting at all, so I won't even bother talking about them.
Overall, Tatoeba Last Dungeon is, as I said, an absolute dumpster-fire. I highly recommend you stay away from this anime, and instead, spend your time on an anime that is actually good, entertaining, and not a waste of your time.
provenom1
honestly this anime is the same thing over and over again, OP mc is OP and doesnt know it, this gag is repeated over and over and i get sick of it, it was funny the first 2 times after that every time it happened i wanted to just ditch the anime. i dont usually drop animes and i was determined to watch this through to the end because i had nothing else to watch on a monday afternoon. the charcters are boring and just a massive cliche with every single cliche haram girl you can imagine, it wasnt even a good cliche because we didntsee anything good, yes im a degenrate.
its boring, repatative and mundane, i really hope all the good reviews on this are satire because i cringe just reading them.
stay clear of this anime.

tl;dr: An anime that is good at using one narrow kind of comedy but doesn’t do well at anything beyond that. This anime is centered around comedy involving the protagonist, Lloyd, being overpowered but not realizing this and considering himself weak due to his background and immense naivety. There’s some variety to this, in that he’s overpowered at quite a few things ranging from fighting monsters to cooking and cleaning. And there are lots of characters that react to all this in different ways. Still, at the end of the day, that’s what the core of the anime is. If you aren’t fond of such humorthen you won’t like this anime. I enjoy this type of comedy and the execution here was pretty good, and thus enjoyed most of the anime.
Beyond that it does try to flesh out other characters at least somewhat. It’s not particularly good at anything serious, but when it’s just trying to make the cast amusing and fun it can work well, the best example of which is the hilarious yandere Selen who is surprisingly chill. Characters can also have pretty amusing dynamics, such as between the also overpowered airhead Alka bullying Marie, a witch that tries too hard trying to seem cooler than she actually is. However, it does try to give some characters depth in a serious manner at times and that generally fails pretty badly, though it isn’t focused on that much so it’s not too much of a problem.
Plot wise, the first two thirds of the anime don’t really have much of a plot at all. It’s just Lloyd and company dealing with a bunch of random situations. There are some hints here and there that they’re all connected to some overarching plot, but that doesn’t really take up much time so it doesn’t really matter. The last third of the anime however focuses much more on this overarching plotline, at the expense of not having as much comedy. The comedy it does have also starts going in different directions. I suppose the comedy was getting stale as there wasn’t enough variety to it so the writer thought it would be better to start changing things up, which is fair enough as the comedy was starting to get kind of repetitive and thus not as enjoyable. However, the overarching plotline is pretty terrible and new directions the comedy went in aren’t very good either, so in the end it still feels like the anime considerably declines towards the end.
The art and animation felt pretty lackluster. A lot of the time the half hearted art and animation actually work well with the comedy it’s going for so intentionally or not it works as a plus. However, the one thing that is pretty prominent all the time and bad to the point of distraction is how the characters often have weird proportions that look really off. The characters designs in general are decent enough I suppose, though nothing particularly special. The soundtrack is okay but not particularly worth mentioning. The OP and ED are also okay in terms of the song and visuals, but don’t really stand out at all.

I dont really think this anime deserves its low ranking. Let me tell you why. Let me get this out of the way: there are very legitimate criticisms that can be leveled against this anime. It's trite. It doesn't really have a plot. The characters are one dimensional and exhibit little to know growth throughout the whole thing. If this were trying to be a serious anime, it would be a 4, ,maybe, if I'm generous. But here's the thing: it's not. It's not a serious anime and it's clear that this anime has no intention of taking itselfseriously, and does not ask you to either. It's a lighthearted, comedic romp whose sole purpose is to make you laugh. And, at least for me, it succeeds in that completely.
You can tell it's not serious because most of the characters are named after chemical compounds or elements.
So just take it for what it is, a humorous , slightly parodic romp loosely based on the fantasy genre, and you'll probably be entertained, expect more out of it than that, and you'll hate it. Personally, I took it for what it is, and laughed all the way through.
Shabo-kun
Okay I understand why this show gets so much hate, but honestly it wasn’t that bad. This show is in my opinion perfect example of stuff to watch if you want some cheap entertainment. It’s generic, sometimes annoying, predictable and LOUD with clché Japanesse anime style of homour. On the other hand humour knows no bounderies as many of reviewers already said and it worked for me although it was too much "cringy" sometimes. On top of that it looks good, has some enjoyable characters (some not), solid sound effects and if you won’t take it seriously and mainly don’t expect too much you got exactlywhat I said. It doesn’t mean it’s a good show at all tho. There isn’t anything else except of nice animations and humor which would make this show more enjoyable and these are primary aspects which somehow carries whole anime.
STORY: 2/10
It’s obvious story is not main focus of this piece of "art". You can predict almost each exciting moment like fight, small dramas or another plot. Thing is it doesn’t take itself seriously and I didn’t mind. Even if I roughly knew what will most likely happen I still enjoyed the outcome, because it was well presented. Each problem was solved with humorous outcome and thanks to this it fulfilled that role of comedy on point. Adventurous part of the story was dissapointment, becuase there is not much of a world exploring and adventure as such at all. Story is pretty fast pacing and almost every problem is solved in one or two episodes and you got another right in next episode. This is typical thing for medicore and generic fantasy shows.
CHARACTERS: 5/10
One of the bigger issues for me was main hero. He did not have single enjoyable or interesting character trait. He was just prototype of boring fantasy MC, but even more dumb and dense. Even that style of humor which was applied on his character wasn’t my cup of tea. Other female characters had mostly one thing in common and a that was obssesion with our MC. It was like watching some talkshow with Justin Bieber where he surprises his maniac girl fans. Except of this insanity each girl character had some trait which make her fun (OK Selen is exception). We don’t really need to speak about antagonists, because they are here, but they’re so much forgettable it would be waste of time. Shouma gets almost no screentime to introduce his character and you only know him as brother of MC which turns to evil just like that. Overall characters were mostly fun at that time of watching, but after i get some good sleep tonight I’m not gonna remember a single shit about them.
ART: 8/10
Hurrah, at last another thing you can actually appreciate. Animations looks good and that goes for fights as well. On the other hand it’s from big studio and producers made in year 2021, so nice animations are somehow expected. That doesn’t change the fact it looks stylish and it’s probably the biggest plus.
MUSIC/SOUND: 4/10
Not my type of thing and something which would make me thing about it. OP is like you would pick some cliché isekai song to copier, find some generic singer to sing that crap and put it right there. This is appliable for every single one song in this show and OST was terrible even more. Sound effects throughout the anime were on point unlike that music.
ENJOYMENT: 6/10
If you are reading to this part, maybe you wonder why I wrote it wasn’t so bad and then shit talked so much on this show. Simply because there are undoubtedly lot of thing wrong and I cannot overlook them.
Despite this I had fun and it’s mainly because of it’s humor, ease and almost no expectations from my side. As they say in my home country „if you don’t expect anything you cannot be dissapointed".
Overall: 5/10
For sure not type of thing for anybody. This show is definiton of contradiction so it’s purely subjective. Thanks to this I cannot recommend it to anybody and only to people with "wider" spectrum of sense of humor. It’s solid thing to watch if you look for something easy which doesn’t require a lot of your attention or simply as I said in the beginning if you look for cheap entertainment.

Though I do not know if this is the author's original idea, I believe that to enjoy this anime to the maximum you can't take it as a fantasy type anime with comedy elements to it, but instead you have to expect a gag comedy in a fantasy setting. I remember in the early episodes a friend of mine complaining because he felt that a gag appeared to soon and ruined the characters' development and the more deep side of the anime, but I disagree and say that the more serious scenes in this anime serve only as a set up to the gag, inthe way that the contrast of them both is supposed to make the gag funnier. Now, does it do it successfully? Not really. They repeat this formula too much, and don't really execute it that well.
At the end of the day, none of the characters are really remarkable, the art is okay, the background music is okay, but they aren't a big deal. This is those animes that you watch and within two to five years you won't remember that you watched it nor any of the characters in it. It's not necessarely bad, but it's not memorable either.
So, if you have free time, have already watched almost every single anime on earth and just feel like watching something light to chill, sure, go for it. If you have a 50+ Plan to Watch list, honestly, put it at the bottom of it, or don't put it at all.
PS: If you truly want to watch a gag comedy in a fantasy/ isekai setting, I'd recommend something more like Ixion Saga DT, and not this one.

This anime fits right into my kind of show. It has a super-strong main character along with all the females falling for him. The storyline isn't the best, but they make up for that with really enjoyable scenes. Although, I hope there will be a bigger plot to follow in the coming episodes. The main character is portrayed as super strong and unique, as all the females love his personality. However, I wished that he would beat his opponents more easily (as in the arm wrestle), as the whole idea of the story is having an overpowered character. Where can I find more like this?!
citricphrenia
possibly the most forgettable anime imaginable. its genuinely impressive how mediocre it is in every capacity. the rawest 5/10 you could ever conceive. watched all in 1 go and if you ask me or anyone else in the watch-party to name a single plot point, theme, or more than 4 characters names it would be a struggle. i have no hate towards this show. i have no love towards this show. it is nothing. your time is better spent elsewhere. but if you desire pure slop to not think about for a second, then perhaps this is for you WDYM MY REVIEW NEEDS MORE INFOMATION. ITS NOTHING.SELEN WAS KINDA FUNNY, WHITE WOMAN JUMPSCARE. I LAUGHED PERHAPS TWICE. IS THIS YOUR GOD? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED????

"Tatoeba - Suppose a kid from the last dungeon boonies moved to a starter town" is a fantasy themed Anime with some aspects not unlike several Isekai, especially an oblivious but overpowered MC and a kind of harem thing are similar. This is a humour-centered show with no outstanding/redeeming features otherwise. Many aspects are average, including the story. Although the visuals are quite good. I've seen far worse and the animators did a good job here. Thus, the humour is a make or break thing for Tatoeba - if it makes you smile/laugh, you will enjoy the show like I did. If not, well, you mightfind yourself among the people writing a 2star review....
Comparable to other shows with a naive/stupid/oblivious MC, the other characters are generally more interesting. Although I should say, that I've seen really annoying MCs of that category and Lloyd isn't bad. The humour and overall tone of the show is reflected in the portayal of the MC and the other characters. Of course there are the typical anime and isekai tropes, but some of the characters are indeed interesting, especially Riho and Selen.
This show keeps from start to finish a casual, light-hearted tone and I like that consistency in a show. No heartbreaking tragic revelations and plot twists here.
There is quite a lot of plot packed into 12 episodes and some of the story arcs feel rushed and story as well as characers loose some depth compared to the light novels. Maybe the same problem as with "Reincarnated as a slime" - too much story in not enough episodes. I think some of Tatoeba's story arcs would have been better told in 3 instead of 2 episodes but I can see why the studio wanted to end the show where they did.
I feel confident to say that if you like the light novels you will enjoy this show as well. Everyone else will have to see for themselves if they like the humour or not. I can say I did and give this show an enjoyable 6.5 out of 10 points.

This anime is the epitome of wasted potential. At first it seemed like isekai One Punch Man with a bit more oblivious MC, mixed with goofieness of animes like Konosuba. Then it surprised with a really good mix of comedy and serious subplots in first episodes. In the end the show failed to mix the serious storyline with its comedy, which it was soo close to doing right but it always kneecapped itself by the end of each story arc. Most of the characters were fun but overdone or undercooked. The biggest victim of that is Riho who could work as the Kazuma of the series just gettingeverything in place to a satisfying conclusion but instead her charater was cut short of doing anything meaningful.
Lloyd's naivety and the obsession of EVERYONE in the cast with him was overdone and there was absolutely no character proegression at all besides for slight advancment for Selen throughout the series.
Overall its a fun but a disappointing show leaving it at a 6/10, which is a shame because it had clear potential in animation and voice acting to be an 8/10.

[Having been a huge fan of isekai, fantasy, an OP MC type of anime — this anime is definitely coming out on top! A light and happy anime with non-complex yet profound conflicts, all masked with silliness and love, definitely one-of-a-kind. — 10/10] Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town? is already a silly title, so expect lots of silliness! Silly is the perfect word to describe the amount of comedy in this anime, which is one of its features that stands out the most. It's lighthearted with comedy all over the plot yet not to the point that itdeserves to be considered a parody because there are adequate serious moments as well. Nevertheless, to watch an anime with such a title while expecting an anime with complex conflict, 12-episode-journey that has to follow strict standards of intro-conflict-resolution, etc. would be insane, and to review the anime badly because it's silly when it's meant to be silly thus should be appreciated for fulfilling its goals? should be a crime.
The first episode was a perfect introduction to the anime to the point that having finished the first episode, I knew I'd rate this anime 10/10. From then on, it's exactly as it's introduced. In short, the plot is about a kid's struggle to resolve his inner demons as he innocently helps everyone and saves the nation. That very same innocence and kindness brings him a lot of love from everyone around him in all kinds of forms, to the point that it even the conflict arises from that very same thing. Each character showcases different experiences one would have with our lovely MC, but not only that, this anime brilliantly managed to tell the stories and struggles of (pretty much) all of those characters, making us fall in love with every single character eventually.
The world building is quite interesting. However, instead of explicitly explaining what is the world that the characters are in, they do it through each characters' stories, and I think it's a nice take on it. Sure, we end up not knowing too much of the world, but enough to understand the characters' sentiments, and that's wonderful for a 12 episode anime.
More about comedy and seriousness - perhaps things can be considered choppy and can give an impression of "suddenly this, suddenly that" but personally, I did not lose track of the plot even though all the fun comedy existed and I did not dwell too much on the intensity of the scene though all the serious conflicts existed. The balance of the two tips towards comedy, but I assure you, as long as you enjoy some silliness, you won't find yourself struggling to enjoy the plot beyond that comedy. The conflicts are very, very light, but they're conflicts, alright. Trickery, ambition, jealousy, boredom — the core of the conflicts still can be felt and understood even when it's packed in a silly way, and with this perspective, the story is definitely well-written.
The graphics are wonderful, the colors are vibrant and bright. The voice acting and the music are nice and enjoyable. Overall, the production quality itself is enjoyable.
For what it's going for, it's done a perfect job. A nice, light watch full of love and happiness that will entertain and will not bore. 10/10

I know this will be a divisive remark, but I think this show is trying to do something similar to One Punch Man, but with the standard Harem Isekai tropes as well. To that effect, I think that under certain circumstances this show is very high quality and manages to succeed in this endeavor. I watched this show at 1.5x speed on dub. That being the case, many of the jokes managed to not only land, but occasionally catch me off guard. In particular, the absurdity of some of the scenes, like a belt talking about its grandchildren, in the moment may not seem completely absurd,but it quickly builds until a genuinely funny joke appears when you were already somewhat cracked. I am a somewhat cynical person and force myself to be more understanding for many of these reviews, but I genuinely don't see what it is people complain about this show for. The writing isn't the greatest ever done, but this show is just one in a series of many of the "OP Humble MC" verse, and it manages to at least entertain while it does it.
The characters are almost entirely waifus that shotacon over the MC, regular guys with zero libido, villains who are evil for one reason or another, or the unsettling people from the MCs village. There is an argument that some of the women being so much older than the MC is creepy and I would agree to an extent if it wasn't so clearly only used for humor. The characters are utilized in a simplistic fashion, usually relegated to being "how different people would react to the strange event" writing, but this ends up only being a reflection of the relatively peaceful setting of most of the show. Whenever a genuinely important story beat is occurring, there is usually some distance put between the characters and their personalities do interact with the situation in meaningful ways. However this can't be said for some of them who get in similar positions multiple times (Marie and Mikona).
The characters have a generic fancy school uniform, and the important characters have distinct fancier clothes. It does make visual delineation between important and unimportant characters faster, however it also somewhat removes us from the experience if you are left to dwell on it for too long. Characters often are drawn off model, but this is oftentimes a shorthand before they devolve into chibi for a comedic reprieve. There are some jarring moments where the animation is lacking, but this show is not one to suffer from slideshow syndrome. We are unable to witness most of the usual animation stuff we would like to see, but that is in part due to the in-universe explaination that the characters are so powerful that dust kicks up whenever they break something, or that their actions are so fast as to be unanimated / instantaneous to keep with real time.
The production on this is a bit lackluster. It is the same generic artstyle of most fantasy shows released over the last decade, bright and saturated color tones, fields of wheat and towns built of grey cobblestone, wood, and red tile roofs. The artstyle of the forrest near the MCs hometown has a beautiful painted look for a few of its scenes, reminiscent of the painterly art of "Made in Abyss", but that is quickly replaced by normal fantasy fair later on. I wish it had stuck with the look for longer, like Grimgar, but it turns into a standard show.
They are definitely setting up for another season, and I don't think I will skip on it when it comes out. While this isn't a masterpiece, I think it is a great little romp through an LN premise which anyone who enjoys anime would find fun and funny. The gags at some of the episodes genuinely made me laugh out loud, I can't get enough of this show... And I doubt I wouldn't find them funny on a repeat watch.

Tatoeba last dungeon Yeah first thing you've noticed about the show is its unecessarily long title, the editors may have confused the title box with the synopsis box. Now going through the show these are the things I've noticed; it has a really bad control of atmosphere, the emotions presented are all over the place with some scenes suddenly becoming comedic during an intense scene or vice versa. The comedy is not exactly wack but it always corporates the loud=funny vibe, I have no problems with that if its used correctly but in this show its used really often that 70% of the show's comedy ismostly composed of shouting and raging. other things are its weak plot and cliche setting.
Moving on to the show's progression. The show's intro is super messed up, too many names and characters are introduced not making time for making the audience keep up on familiarizing the show's characters names. And it really feels like the show is being played on fast-forward. The pacing feels really fast in episode 3 we're already in one of the most intense moment in the show. It may be still considered as introductory for the main antagonists but it just feels really fast in my opinion.
On the middle phase of the series we are introduced in a hotel arc which in my opinion is the best arc in the show. Not only it has the most fun moments it also had the least predictable events. Hot spring episode is also poggers.
Now through the last episodes on the show we are presented with pretty much what we have predicted by now. But what we really didnt predict was the main he- antagonist's goal is.
The characters are memorable design wise but not name wise just because of the ruined intro, after watching the show I have forgotten most of the characters except the most mentioned ones. I don't have much to say about character progression since it has almost none.
Animation and visual presentation wise the character designs are pretty. The animation is fairly mediocre, its not the best but its not bad either. The show surprisingly corporates its mediocre animation well since they use it to enhance its comedic moments.
Conclusion, the show is unsurprisingly surprisingly enjoying to watch, although it has a cliche setting and all that shabby sounding stuff. It still has its fair share of fun moments. I've enjoyed the show but it feels like its just short term enjoyment. I would only recommend watching the show if you're finding something to warm-up upon before watching another one.
Overall rating 6/10

You know, there are two shows with "Dungeon" in the title this season, and I very nearly stayed away from this show due to its stupidly long title and terrible-sounding premise. I never liked the idea of having an overpowered MC be the core of an entire series and I generally dislike harems in the first place. Thankfully, Tatoeba Dungeon is a standout comedy on all fronts and a fun experience all around. Let's get this out of the way first, yes, the premise of Lloyd being ridiculously overpowered yet unaware is unfunny and the joke is incredibly stale and repetitive. However, unlike most other comedies(and non-comedies) with a similar premise, the show has other jokes as well. My word, expecting a comedy show to have more than one joke, but man, do we live in an age where even basic competency needs to be praised. Anyway rants aside, the show is genuinely very funny a majority of the time, and even the Lloyd being overpowered does have a satisfying payoff that comes too late, but it's more than can be said when compared to most other shows, like the other "Dungeon" anime. If there is any downside, it's that some of the more serious moments do not have a place in the show and can dampen the mood a little, but otherwise it's still a solid comedy throughout.
The cast of characters is incredibly strong although it may not seem so at first. Virtually everyone is likable from the low self esteem Lloyd (who may actually be pretending all this while), to the short-tempered butt monkey Marie, to the perverted lolibabaa, to even a goddamned belt, everyone brings their A game to this show and it is truly a sight to behold. When a belt has more character than most other MCs of other comedies, you know you're in for a real treat. But the MVP, the real star of the show is the yandere belt-hime, Selen. My God does she steal every scene she is in with her crazed obsession over Lloyd reminding me of Urara from Sabagebu. It's a celebration whenever she appears. Even the villains, though they may appear out of place in an otherwise overly cheerful lighthearted show, do turn out to fit the setting more than you'd think.
Like I said earlier, one of Tatoeba Dungeon's strengths is that it has proper payoffs to its comedic scenes. For instance, a scene where Selen threatens to firebomb a place in order to spend more time with Lloyd may seem like a throwaway gag at first, but later on has actual plot-importance and a proper send-off to the joke established, forming an elegant payoff in the end.
Some of these may sound like faint praise but it's just so nice to see a fantasy-based comedy be actually funny. I was totally fearing a Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear or Average Abilities situation at first, but man, does it pay to be wrong at times.
7/10
