* Based on a fantasy light novel series written by Ryuusen Hirotsugu and illustrated by Fujichoko.
Sakimori Kagami is a young man who's spent four years perfecting his avatar in the online VRMMORPG Arch Earth Online. Going by the name Dunbalf, he's known across the land of this virtual world. But one night before bed, Kagami uses an in-game vanity case that's about to expire—opting to create his ideal version of a female Dunbalf avatar for fun. Waking up, he's surprised to find that he's now in the body of the avatar he created the night before, and he'll have to work his way from the bottom up! So he's a young dude, playing an old dude, who is now playing a young girl—who is still that old dude.
Which brings us to Mira:
Mira is described as a beautiful summoner who identifies herself as Dunbalf's pupil. And if you've been keeping up, you'll remember that she is Dunbalf, which means her abilities are the same as his. Despite her youthful appearance, she speaks like an old man.

Fun and pleasant watch. I highly enjoyed it, first part for kind of slice of life when you learn the world and settings and second part for more of story. The story is actually there and has some potential, it appears to be mysterious and even dark. This anime can still go in any way, gore or colorful. 1st season it's only the very beginning. I also enjoyed a lot adventures!

Just accept it as parody.
Many people had too high expectations here.
OK show - if You know who is Gandalf, Dumbledore, and all high fantasy & isekai/dungeons & dragons/MMO/RPG popular tropes of probably last 15 years.
(for D&D anime like Lodoss or Slayers it will be 30 years probably)

This seems like it could have gone any which way the wind blows, but I think they wanted this to almost be a slice of life isekai. It's simple and pleasant, with some humorous moments here and there. Was it fantastic? No. Was it terrible? No.
If you're just looking for something to enjoy for what it is and it happens to be an isekai, you'll find that here.
Give it a watch.

Gandalf turns into a cutie and goes on adventure. You won't find anything legendary in this anime (except Mira's invocation chants) but it's rather fun nonetheless. Also it'll likely have more seasons.

As far as MCs that are OP, this anime is by the numbers; however it was unique to have that MC change appearance. While this anime is generic, what made this enjoyable for me was the sense of adventure the MC goes on... it was pleasant. Unfortunately, what is very noticeable and this show did a lot was use bad CGI throughout and its apparent every time. Despite the bad CGI, I still had a lot of fun watching this series and wouldn't mind another season.

If you ever feel like you want to watch an anime where they are 'just going through the motions" and are "phoning it in", then this is the anime for you.
