Lv1 Maou had an odd sort of mundane down-to-earth feeling, where Fred the cleric becomes a bureaucrat but even in his post-adventuring days is still able to effortlessly nuke Ganma's walls without needing to whip out any special moves or transformations. He just goes and does it, no speeches or anything. Leo stands parallel as the leader of a breakaway ~something~ and is also able to clear the forest in the same manner. They're in a league of their own, they're powerful in more than one way, but they're not kings or emperors. It's got just the right scale. The same goes for Max's and Maou's escalating sports matches, it's silly but it shows they're still damn strong.
I think that's important because it shows that these people are not a joke and don't stereotypically hold back either, they know what they're doing and so should Max. It provides a nice contrast, and it makes sense that if anything would've gotten him out of his slump it'd be going out and proving his worth in a fight once more. So, although I think the serious and action parts had their place and moments like Maou going out to fight just to get Max motivated I liked quite a bit, it REALLY didn't need to spend close to four episodes on the fight, and the flashbacks were indeed kinda pointless (especially the ones focusing on Yulia, since she wasn't present at all).
Probably the only one I'm going to vaguely remember.

>Basically just reset everything to the status quo
Hard disagree. The minister was ousted, Fred took his place, Leo became mayor of the now integrated Ganma province, and Max fixed his public image. It's not a reset, and it's much more of a resolution than your regular open ending.

Are there any hidden, or non hidden, gems that I could've missed? I barely watched anything.

>>114210That's a nice write-up. It's true that there was some good development, but I still feel that it failed to focus properly on its strengths. The unmotivated hero coached by a reincarnated former enemy and a relationship beginning to blossom was really nice. Well, I think I already said this stuff already. I just didn't feel invested in all the politics and fighting.
>>115006I didn't watch much, but I think a lot of people overlooked the vending machine show and dismissed it as a shallow gimmick. It has good characters, although they are able to insinuate a bit too much from the isekai'd vending machine guy's preset vending machine stock phrases. It doesn't feel like he's overpowered, but simply knowledgeable and using the tools available to him.
His obsessive level of knowledge of real life vending machines allows him to morph into the right machine for the situation which is something I found far more interesting than the usual isekai stuff.
Also it's getting a season two!
