Reception

Writing for Monsters and Critics, writer Patrick Frye compared the science fiction anime to the isekai genre "except that an entire city is thrown into a new world via time travel." Although the character development, plot twists, and CGI animation were praised, it's claimed the "biggest negatives centered around the protagonist Daisuke who suffers from an obsessive hero complex for most of the first season ... which made watching the first eight episodes feel grating or insufferable." In May 2019, Anime News Network listed Daisuke one of the most, "scrubbiest scrublord protagonists”.[11]
