The anime stars Hiyori Kono, Kiyono Yasuno, and Justin Briner in lead roles. It is directed by Shin Oonuma and produced by Silver Link.

The series is set in a fantasy world named "Muno Barony". The plot revolves around Suzuki who, after working for 30 straight hours on a game, falls asleep right at his computer desk. When he wakes up, he is in a completely different world where he has become a young boy with his memories intact.

He discovers that he has been transported into a parallel world that is similar to the game he was working on. He realizes that he has become the character he created for the game, Satou Pendragon. The world he is in is a magical place filled with mythical creatures, gods, and incredible powers.

Suzuki, or Satou, soon discovers he holds incredible abilities that he acquired as a game developer, The abilities include a spell that can obliterate everything in sight and overpowering physical strength that makes him unbeatable in combat.

As he progresses in the world, he meets various characters from different races, including Liza, a half-human and half-elf, Arisa, the beautiful and deadly assassin, and Zena, the hard-headed merchant. They come to form a group that travels together with the sole purpose of keeping all obstacles at bay as they explore the world.

The series is filled with adventure, danger, romance, and comedy, and the characters' interpersonal relationships play out on screen in an engaging manner. The animation style is eye-catching, the action sequences are adrenaline-filled, and the music complements the moods of each scene perfectly.

One noticeable factor in the show is how the protagonist handles situations. While most characters in other anime would try to solve everything with brute strength, Satou instead takes a diplomatic approach to resolve conflicts. Throughout the series, we see him making deals and forming alliances to achieve his goals, which is a refreshing take on the isekai genre.

Another aspect that sets this anime apart from others is it's attention to detail. The world is meticulously crafted, and many small details and backstory are revealed as the series progresses, making it all the more intriguing to the viewers.

Overall, Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody is a fantastic addition to the isekai genre, offering a new angle on the typical narrative of being transported to another world. The dynamic characters, intriguing world-building and well-developed story create an experience that is sure to entertain anime fans.
