History YMMV / DidntISayToMakeMyAbilitiesAverageInTheNextLife

* SoOkayItsAverage: The ProductionPosse who made the anime have a slew of high-energy slapstick shows under their belts, including ''Manga/{{Mitsudomoe}}'', ''Manga/YuruYuri'', ''Manga/HimoutoUmaruChan'', and ''Manga/GabrielDropOut''. The show's Japanese trailer even banked heavily on the staff's pedigree. But compared to those, the ''Average Isekai'' anime is fittingly a bit more... average. There's very little energy in the cinematography, and it has none of director Masahiko Ohta's trademark frenetic camera dollies, like the first episodes of ''Mitsudomoe'' or ''Himouto Umaru-Chan''. Judging by the fact the [=ED=]--in contrast to their previous work for ''Doga Kobo''--is literally just slow pans over concept art, it seems the studio didn't lavish a whole lot of money on the production.

* LesYay: Adele thinks that Morena's "a super-cute princess!" when she sees her. (She's recognizing the latter as a trope, but that doesn't stop her from sounding just a little subtexty.)

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans of the light novels weren't exactly happy about the anime's decision to add {{Fanservice}}, have the girls constantly whine about chest sizes, and shove in a predatory pedophilic PsychoLesbian villain in the first episode. They note that the anime's decision to cater to the {{Moe}} and FourGirlEnsemble crowd caused massive MoodWhiplash with the novels' serious tone.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Pauline. While her greed is meant to be her character quirk just like Mavis's suicidal bravery and Mile's [[IJustWantToBeNormal wish to be normal]], some find her actions, including attempting to ruin a merchant for lowballing the party and trying to sell bandits into slavery to make some extra money, to be legitimately unscrupulous.

** Whenever the Crimson Vow can capture bandits and hostile forces alive, there is frequently talk of selling them into IndenturedServitude alongside the subjugation reward. Pauline especially is happy about all the extra income this provides, to make the transportation hassles worth it. The people who end up with this sort of punishment are mostly portrayed as {{Asshole Victim}}s; why banditry is so common in the first place (inequality? frequent exiles?) isn't really discussed.

* FanNickname: "Average Isekai" - more often applies to the anime, and used by those who find it SoOkayItsAverage.

* EarWorm: The OP for the anime. ''Wa-ho! Wa-ha!''

* ValuesDissonance: As befitting the nature of the world and the real-life cultural practices it was based off of, there is ''plenty'' of completely serious, played-straight talk of treating children (girls especially) as bargaining chips to be married off for their and their family's financial futures, and possibly also social status. When Mile first teaches the Wonder Trio about magic, they are ''overjoyed'' that their spells give them so much more value in the marriage market, and they don't need to fear being forced to become the mistress of a rich old man or merchant.
