So nothing involving a hammer but close enough. Would you recommend either of the latter two shows?
Also, what do you mean by "one of those fucking things instead of an isekai"?
May I Ask For One Final Thing is great. I haven't watched ROLL OVER AND DIE yet but I read a few of the LNs and those were pretty good.
"One of those fucking things" is the genre of "protagonist gets kicked out of their party for being too cool and then they show everyone by being super cool and stuff", which is somehow an actual genre that's approaching isekais in sheer proliferation (and it overlaps with them a fair bit too). I think Geoff Thew coined the "one of those fucking things" name for the genre out of, uh, contempt and exasperation I believe it was.
ROLL OVER AND DIE is a good one, though, both because it's yuri and because it channels the typical antipathy of the genre towards the elitism, chauvinism, and general shittiness of the world's institutions instead of just doing the school shooter ass "everyone's laughing at me, but I'll show them, I'll show everyone!" tone the genre usually takes.
