A male officer worker getting reincarnated into an otome game just sounds bizarre and that’s exactly what happens in the upcoming anime series – “Trapped in a Dating Sim.”
The daily life of Leon comes to an end when he is reincarnated into a very awful dating sim video game, where women rule and men have no say whatsoever.
“Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs” anime’s 2nd trailer previews Luxion’s cast, the opening theme song (Silent Minority), and staff members.
The trailer follows Leon, who is reincarnated into a particularly punishing dating sim video game. In this game, women reign supreme and only beautiful men have a seat at the table.
Nevertheless, Leon has a secret weapon – he remembers everything from his past life, which includes a complete playthrough of the very game in which he is now trapped.
A strong determined Leon stands at the center of the visual, while Olivia and Angelica, along with Prince Julius and his group surround him. In addition, Leon’s combat armor gets featured along with Julius.
The opening theme “Silent Minority” performed by Kashitarō Itō has also been unveiled in the trailer.
Kashitarō Itō is a singer-songwriter who performs an edgy rock opening theme song – Silent Minority. He is well-known for his performance in Osamake: Romcom Where The Childhood Friend Won’t Lose.
Luxion is an AI-equipped spherical robot. He speaks with logical thinking and no emotional blurrings, but occasionally speaks with sarcasm.

If you are bored of harem anime, you must go for this one. Not only will you get an utterly exhausted protagonist, but you also get infinite satire for free.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Leon utilizes his past life memories to solve the game.
