About I'm Standing on a Million Lives

If you are hunting for a new action series, I'm Standing on a Million Lives (100万の命の上に俺は立っている) deserves a look (2020). The setup goes like this. At its core: Aloof and logical middle school third-year Yuusuke Yotsuya is transported to a game-like alternate world. He grows into a third player and takes on a perilous quest with his classmates Iu Shindo and Kusue Hakozaki, who were transported there earlier.

Further in, the cold Yuusuke eschews emotionalism and examines all elements with detachment, sometimes even toying with the lives of his companions. Can he protect his party from attacking monsters, difficult incidents, and mighty scheming enemies and win the game?

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Yuuto Uemura as Yuusuke Yotsuya and Makoto Koichi as Yuka Tokitate. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
