Ore wa Seikan Kokka no Akutoku Ryoushu! I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire

Anilist
After a life of honesty left him betrayed, Liam is reborn into a vast interstellar empire with one goal: be the galaxy’s worst evil lord. But no matter how hard he tries to be a tyrant, his “wicked” plans keep backfiring into peace, prosperity, and adoring fans. Galactic chaos, magic, and mecha await in this hilariously misconstructed tale of a villain who can’t help but to impress.

three episodes out, for some weird reason, this works for me.
the drama parts hit, the comedy is nice, and the far-away action is also exciting enough. I thought the mood swings would take me out of the plot, but it ties the story together.

Quite a different start compared to the manga. I wonder if it was like this in the novel. I kind of doubt that. The anime director must have thought the MC's suffering in Japan would have been too depressing for the average watcher, resulting in the first episode doing poorly. This way of doing it, however, reminds me too much of the infamous manhwa Chapter 0s, which are always full of spoilers, sometimes to the point it feels pointless to read the manhwa anymore. At least this wasn't that bad.

I get why, it makes the first episode flow better (not depressing), sets the ending of the season, and has some action scenes.

also, I don't know why, but when I read the manga, I was under the impression the AI girl was modeled after his ex-wife, but I guess I made it up.

This series is a satire. I read the LNs.

It is strange how they are presenting it as if it took itself seriously, when really most of it is just making fun of the OP reincarnator genre.

Neither the manga adaptation or this anime look like satire. The manga might be laughing at itself more than this anime, though this is still just the beginning after three eps, but I can't see this as satire. Not to mention 99% of isekai is sword and sorcery, whereas this is scifi with magic. If this was supposed to be a satire of the average isekai, the setting is poorly chosen. Though that being said, much of the isekai genre is so trashy that it's like satire even without trying. But after a while you get so used to it that it's hard to see anymore; if you read 5 non-satire and then 50 satire titles, your default view moves toward the satire being the "normal" one. So, maybe I'm just blind to it.

The most obvious satirical aspect is the school of the one flash, that he is learning right now. It remains to be seen how much they will lean on its actual satirical nature.

episode 4. still good.
this one didn't focus on much on him attempting to be "evil lord", but the fondling robot was great.

Liam has such a good teacher. He's learning skills few have seen before, granting him more power than mere money could buy.
