Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs (Seasons 1–2)

Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs (2022) is a Japanese anime series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Yuki Kanezawa. An ordinary office worker dies after grinding through an otome game for two straight days at his sister's insistence — and reincarnates as Leon, a minor background character in that exact game.

The world runs in reverse. Women hold all the power, men are treated as accessories, and the story's handsome aristocrats monopolize everything worth having. Leon doesn't fit any of those categories. What he does have is a complete memory of his past life — including a full playthrough of the game he now lives in. Takeo Otsuka voices him as someone with zero interest in being a hero; he wants a farmhouse and no drama. The game's plot keeps pulling him in regardless.

The isekai formula gets flipped here: not a chosen one, not an overpowered protagonist — just a regular guy who happens to know the spoilers. Stream the series online on iFILM.
