Something about a woman having played a video game and being in that world and being overpowered.
Kinda stiff.

An ugly, unaccomplished, student discovers a hidden world within which he becomes a hero and transforms himself in that and the real world.
It might be quite good, but because the main character is superpowered it’s a pretty shitty story angle; not recommended.

A NEET dies and chooses to be reincarnated into a fantasy world as a hero tasked to defeat a demon lord, but he ends up as a party of four semi-incompetent members.
Fun and funny!

The future world is screwed, and humans struggle to survive in a poisoned world filled with monstrous insects.
About as good as you’d expect for a Japanimated movie from 1984, which is damned good.

A NEET dies but finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, where he grows into with the competence and usefulness that he ought to have been working for in his previous life.
Starts strongly, but really spirals down into pulp crap. Still perfectly watchable overall. Recommended even for people who don’t like this sort of entertainment but like the sword-and-sorcery topic in general.
Watched at the end of 2022; no notes were taken.
Inspired by Mushoku Tensei – (2012 book), by Rifujin na Magonote

Throughout the movie, there are men used as comedic relief and women as brave and smart.

A zombie apocalypse fells Japan and it’s up to an almost-NEET everyman to mostly save a couple of people.
A straightforward and largely unsurprising movie; fine for wasting some time.

A whore gets her face cut up, and a bounty is put on the heads of the two responsible.
Boring as hell; I couldn’t get into it.
