"When Haruhito awakens, he's in the dark. He doesn't know where he is, why is he here, and where he came from. Around him there are several men and women who have the same circumstances. Haruhito and his companions find themselves in a "game-like world" called Grimgar and must form a party, cooperate, and learn new skills to survive the harsh environment together." -ANN

Thought Overlord presented a too OP MC? Then this show is for you: The main characters can't beat a single goblin grunt even when ganging up on it.

These kind of shows are now popping up like mushrooms after a rain. Humans from our world suddenly finding themselves stuck in a game world. There might be some differences here and there, like in this show they don't actually have solid memories of their origin, only they sometimes catch themselves thinking weirdly or using weird words. And they are pitifully weak. Actually there was another bunch who gathered all the capable guys leaving the dregs for the MC group. Since I'm usually for strong MC (or to be specific determined MCs), I found myself initially thinking it would have been nicer to watch the progress of the other group, but in the end these weaklings did start to grow on me.

This series isn't going to make anybody go all wow like Overlord, but it was quite entertaining and the characters varied. It's hard to imagine these folks saving the world (or destroying it), but I hope they will achieve something and it won't all be trying to beat their first goblin.

I'll keep watching for now.
