Isekai Shikkaku

Just as the famous writer Sensei is about to accomplish his life ambition and commit double suicide with his lover Sacchan, he is hit by a truck and transported to another world. Deemed an adventurer by the local priestess Annette, Sensei is given the daunting mission of slaying the demon king. Refusing to play into his new role, Sensei decides his efforts are better served looking for Sacchan in the hope that she is somewhere in this new world.

Early on in his journey, Sensei crosses paths with the martial artist Tama and unexpectedly saves her from mortal peril. Grateful for his actions, Tama decides to escort him. The pair are soon joined by Annette who, seduced by the writer's strong personality, has sworn to protect Sensei's life.

As the unlikely trio wander the dangerous, monster-infested lands, they soon realize that human beings might be the true threats to the peace of the world—and Sensei might be the only one with the power to stop them.

I saw that anime on 11-12/03/25; honestly, it is one of the strangest Isekai that I have ever known. The MC, constantly searching for suicide, finds himself in the battle between demons and evil forces, without having any overpowered magic or legendary weapon. The whole journey is exciting to witness him battle against these threats with sheer will and strategy.

In this anime, you will find many small/adventure stories that the MC with his friends will solve and build the story line for Season 1; at the end of the season, it gives a hook for Season 2 but not in a very normal way - ... you know, apt for such a strange, yet intriguing story.

I would give a 7 out of 10 to it - strange, yet, just the thing for a one-time watch by really dark and bizarre Isekai lovers.

Mixed Feelings

I was very excited to get started on this anime, given the main characters personality and the seemingly unusual plot. Unfortunately, the other characters design and the outcome of the plot is, well, pretty boring and predictable. I enjoyed watching the show but couldn't get really invested in their adventures and the other characters, both being too stereotypical. The opening and ending were great though and I do love sensei as a character, he's unusual and tbh pretty hot ! If a second season comes out I'll probably watch it, but I don't have any high expectations nor would i really recommend it unless you're ... an avid Isekai consumer.

Informative

No Longer Allowed in Another World* is a painful example of how not to write an isekai. The story starts with an interesting twist—Sensei, a writer on the brink of double suicide, is hit by a truck and sent to another world. Instead of embracing the adventurer’s life, he searches for his lost lover, Sacchan. This premise, which could have offered a profound exploration of grief and purpose, is squandered on shallow character arcs and tonal inconsistencies that leave the narrative feeling hollow.

The characters are as lifeless as the monsters they fight. Sensei’s brooding cynicism quickly grows tedious, as his refusal to engage ... with the world isn’t balanced by any meaningful growth or introspection. Annette, the priestess, and Tama, the martial artist, fare no better, serving as little more than obligatory sidekicks who are drawn to Sensei for baffling reasons. Their motivations are paper-thin, and their interactions lack the chemistry needed to sustain the story. The trio's journey through a world supposedly fraught with danger feels like a series of disconnected vignettes, with neither stakes nor payoff.

What’s most frustrating is how the story attempts to balance comedy and despair but ends up trivializing both. Sensei’s nihilism clashes awkwardly with the slapstick humor and shallow commentary on human nature. The darker themes are neither explored with the depth they deserve nor juxtaposed effectively against the lighter moments. Instead of a thoughtful critique of isekai tropes or an engaging story of personal redemption, *Isekai Shikkaku* delivers a muddled, uninspired tale that neither entertains nor resonates.
