English Dub Review: The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter “The Future of This Harem”

Overview


In order to gain LP and money, Noir and the others enter a Harem Tournament. In this tournament, contestants show off their harems to be judged by a harsh mask-wearing crowd. Noir gets close with Emma, Lola, and Luna in order to try to impress the judges and win!




Our Take

The first half of the proceedings was quite funny. I do believe this is the first time I have seen a protagonist harem arena battle off. Heck, this is the first time such an idea was ever conjured up at all.

With how the plot was structured, the masked audience members were fucking brutal to those other contestants, but of course, the episode wasn’t perfect in places as it sometimes relied heavily on cringe-humor. Also, the Harem Tournament itself feels like a dumb excuse to strip some of the women in Nori’s circle of any sort of agency.

Overall this was quite a funny episode even if half the jokes didn’t make me laugh. It also managed to resolve a particular plot-thread with Maria which is nice. Who knows if we’ll expect this level of wackiness again in future episodes…
