Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita?

A 20-year-old shut-in is suddenly transported from his apartment, only to appear in front of a goddess who offers him a second chance at life. Although she grants him overpowered magical abilities in this new world, when he awakes as the newborn Prince Reinhardt, his talents are only measured at Level 2. Thinking their child to be an abysmal failure, his royal parents abandon him in the woods. There, the prince, who names himself Haruto, encounters Flay, a Flame Fenrir who decides to devote her life in service to him. Haruto's relative, Gold Zenfis, meets them both in the woods and decides to adopt the child as his own.

Nine years pass with Haruto under the care of the Zenfis family. His mastery over his overpowered barrier magic increases by the day, though Haruto would rather not use it to help others. He practices his magic in secret, preferring to have his family believe that he is weak. However, his younger sister, Charlotte, discovers his strength, and with the assistance of Flay, Haruto protects her and the rest of the Zenfis family from harm. With a shifty plot stirring in the kingdom, Haruto only wishes to stay inside and watch anime, but it seems he will have to use his magic to keep the family that took him in safe.

At it's core Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita is yet another isekai with overpowered protagonist that hides his power for whatever reason. Overused setting can be a bad thing if it repeats cliches or is generally just a reskin of same old thing. But in my opinion this anime doesn't fall under those, so judging it purely on the fact that it's isekai or has OP MC would be unfair.

Overall, Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita is on lighter side. There is no drama, conflicts get resolved very quickly. Art, from colors to characters designs, to their facial emotions, all seem aimed towards making this a ... comfy and cute type of show. On top of that I found comedy to be pretty decent and refreshing, with some nice parodies. Characters fit nicely too, with all of them being likeable and quirky but not exactly typical archetypes.
On the other hand villains are rather disappointing, being just boring evil guys. Story itself is pretty much nonexistent as far as anime goes - which I don't consider a downside, but I guess some might say it's "boring".

As a relaxing, comedy focused anime I absolutely recommend this one. It's just a great time filler that doesn't pretend to be anything more.

This is without a doubt an anime to "pass the time", one of those animes where you turn off your brain and don't worry about understanding the story or the character development, one of those animes that you put in the background while you do homework or clean .

It's actually not bad, it's just mediocre, just another isekai to kill some time.

You will like it if:
◼ Do you like isekai
◼ You don't like to think, or you don't want to do it
◼ If you just want something to kill some time

You will not like it:
◼ If you are looking for a deep story with development ... and intrigue
◼ If you have expectations
◼ You like that anime stand out for a "star" genre (Everything here is "meh")

Español:
Este es sin duda alguna un anime para "pasar el rato", uno de esos animes donde apagas el cerebro y no te preocupas por entender bien la historia ni el desarrollo de personajes, uno de esos animes que colocas de fondo mientras haces tarea o limpias.

En realidad no es malo, simplemente es mediocre, un isekai más para matar el rato.

Te gustará si:
◼ Te gustan los isekai
◼ No te gusta pensar, o no quieres hacerlo
◼ Si solo quieres algo para matar el rato

No te gustará:
◼ Si buscas una historia profunda con desarrollo e intriga
◼ Si tienes expectativas
◼ Te gusta que el anime resalten por un género "estrella" (Aquí todo es un "meh")

Not Recommended

English: My experience was bad. Despite not reaching the point of abandoning it, the plot and the main character contributed to a constant feeling of boredom. The protagonist, far from embodying the desired qualities in an isekai, seems to resent every aspect of the adventure, from fighting to simple work or study. The plot, which promised a lot with typical elements of reincarnation, broken powers, and difficult missions, failed to fulfill any of its promises.
One of the few redeeming aspects was the occasional entertainment provided by images during pauses. However, the overall humor left much to be desired. Secondary characters, on the other hand, lacked ... depth and did not contribute or detract from the overall experience. The lack of richness in their integration into the "team" (if it can be called that) left much to be desired.
As for the magic, it turned out to be quite bland, adding nothing new to the genre. The mysteries presented throughout the episodes either were quickly resolved without any impact or were so basic that they failed to maintain interest.
My overall rating for this anime would be a 5/10, and I am not interested in watching a second season. The series does not stand out among the genre's options.

Español: Mi experiencia fue mala. A pesar de no llegar al extremo de abandonarlo, la trama y el personaje principal contribuyeron a una sensación constante de tedio. El protagonista, lejos de encarnar las cualidades deseadas en un isekai, parece resentir cada aspecto de la aventura, desde pelear hasta el simple trabajo o estudio. La trama, que prometía mucho con elementos típicos de rencarnación, poderes rotos, y misiones difíciles, no logró cumplir ninguna de sus promesas.
Uno de los pocos aspectos rescatables era el entretenimiento ocasional proporcionado por las imágenes durante las pausas. Sin embargo, el humor general dejaba mucho que desear. Los personajes secundarios, por otro lado, carecían de profundidad y no aportaban ni restaban al conjunto. La falta de riqueza en su integración al "equipo" (si es que se puede llamar así) dejaba mucho que desear.
En cuanto a la magia, esta resultó ser bastante insípida, sin aportar nada nuevo al género. Los misterios que se presentaban a lo largo de los episodios o se resolvían rápidamente sin impacto alguno, o resultaban tan básicos que no lograban mantener el interés.
Mi calificación general para este anime sería un 5/10, y no estoy interesado en ver una segunda temporada. La serie no destaca entre las opciones del género.
