Shinka no Mi: Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei

One day, a man claiming to be a god suddenly hacks a certain school's intercoms, ordering all of its students to team up and prepare to be transported to another world. There, they will be given special skills in the hopes that they become that world's heroes and defeat the Demon King that ravages the land.

The initial transfer is a success. However, Seiichi Hiiragi, who suffers from his classmates' constant bullying due to his somewhat undesirable appearance, is left behind as no one is willing to be his teammate. Nevertheless, the self-proclaimed god decides to send Seiichi to the parallel world and lets him join his peers. Unfortunately, this fateful ordeal causes Seiichi to arrive at a location deep in the forest, far not only from his schoolmates but from human civilization as well.

Desperately searching for a way to change his predicament, Seiichi's miserable days only seem to continue to worsen. Yet when all hope seems lost, Seiichi discovers a strange fruit known as the "Fruit of Evolution"—which may be his first step toward a significantly better future.

If you treat this as a light hearted parody of the isekai genre it's honestly bloody fantastic. It's not a serious show, it doesn't try to be one. It's a bit of light fluff that is making fun of itself and the genre it's in. To the point where the MC is complaining that he doesn't want to be more OP!

The show will of course have it's haters who were looking for a serious self-insert protag. But this isn't the sort of show they were looking for. The art is almost deliberately cheesy at times, reminds me a bit of ... whoever animated Toriko, (It's not that I don't think, but I can see some stylistic influences here and there.)

Honestly If you liked the "Airplane/Flying High" type stuff from the 80s, and like anime, and are aware of all the isekai tropes, you may enjoy this. If you're looking for dark gritty self-insert crap, this is not your bag.

It's not laugh out loud funny, but it gets a fair few snickers and chuckles.

Mixed Feelings

Shinka no Mi: Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei" is an isekai anime that, while showing some potential in its narrative and character development, ultimately falls short of delivering a memorable and compelling story. The characters, while diverse in their appearances, lack the necessary depth and complexity to make them truly stand out. It feels as though the potential of the series was left untapped, with a superficial and mediocre execution that fails to deliver a truly captivating experience.

While I cannot say that I recommend this series, I will acknowledge that there are viewers who may find enjoyment in its premise and execution. However, I caution ... that those expecting a deep and engaging plot or any significant plot twists will likely be disappointed. If one is seeking a casual viewing experience, then it may be worth considering as background entertainment.

That being said, I hope that the second season of "Shinka no Mi: Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei" takes the time to address the shortcomings of the first season and elevate the series to its full potential. Only time will tell if it will deliver the improvements needed to make it a truly great isekai anime.

'The Fruit of Evolution' is allegedly an anime television series based off a light novel of the same name, but personally, I take issue with this dubious origin story.

In 1969, Adam Levine published a notoriously controversial text — one that, without doubt, had a substantial impact on perceptions of religion, morality, media censorship, and even on the very substrata of modern culture. There are many factors attributed to our divergence from faith, but none can as succinctly elucidate this drift as a question I asked myself as a child — and one that many people have pondered upon:

"Why?"

Why? Why am I being told this? For ... what purpose, and with what explanation?

Clearly, the author of this series had similar thoughts. Only a blind man could create something so profoundly devoid of light. On that note, here's a quote from the aforementioned Satanic Bible:

"Can the torn and bloody victim 'love' the blood-splashed jaws that rend him limb from limb?"

Allow me to correct for context.

"Can the unfortunate viewer of this show 'love' the cursed world in which they were born, just to suffer through it?"

No, they can't. I can't. I have no more faith left — not in God, not in myself, not in the world.

...

'The Fruit of Evolution' reaches a degree of flagrant incompetence that I didn't think possible. To refer to it as 'bad' is insulting to anything I've ever called, well, merely bad. It's incomprehensibly terrible. It stoops so far below the realm of mediocrity that it's absurd. There's not a singular positive quality: the animation is dull, ugly, inconsistent, and stiff; the characters are fools with no actual 'character' whatsoever aside from the most mind-numbingly tropey bullshit; the humor is lame, immature, and in utterly poor taste; there is no depth to the story, nor any semblance of interesting or detailed writing or theming anywhere to be seen.

I swear on all that is holy, one of the most important scenes in the entire series is literally only possible because the authors forgot how to do basic multiplication. That's how little effort it was made with. Not only that, you know what the annoying, bland, unfunny, uncool, pathetic excuse for a protagonist says in spite of this?

"It's basic math!"

You're a basic bitch. You also made out with a gorilla. Freak.

1/10
