Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga.

During a school trip, a bus full of students is suddenly transported to another world by a sage named Sion. She bestows most of the students with powers called Gifts, seeking to recruit them to become sages as well. However, a few are excluded from receiving a Gift, resulting in the others leaving them behind.

Yogiri Takatou, one of the students who did not receive a Gift, wakes up to find a dragon attacking the bus. Amidst the chaos, he executes the dragon using his innate ability to instantly put anything to death. Alongside fellow survivor Tomochika Dannoura, Takatou sets out to find a way back to Earth, all while eliminating anyone who dares to underestimate him—including his former classmates.

This anime is the best type of garbage, expected the usual sludge that they pump out every season, 'A normal, average highschooler is yeeted and now he's op. This dense, annoying self insert will now beat people in increasingly boring ways for 12 eps while being surrounded by other annoying characters'. What we got instead is arguably worse, but its a 10/10 on the enjoyment scale. It's the OP protagonist trope taken to its logical extreme, and its just hilarious. It's just junk food anime, OP protag batshit insane no story power fantasy parody, and I love it.

The MC has the depth of a kiddie ... pool, as generic as it gets, but he is by far the most enjoyable part of the anime. Not a loud ass goody two shoes, dense, 'lets be friends' mc, nor a boring edgy killing machine, a great in between. He's a laidback, reasonable person with a decent moral compass who has no issues eliminating any threat if needed. The female lead, again, generic af, buuut, by some miracle, isnt the usual useless name spamming love interest who contributes jack shit to the plot. She is actually competent, understanding, and has pretty chemistry good with the MC.

If you're looking for a story, there aint one. I have to say though, some of the dialogue, especially when it came the MC's morals were quite sharp and caught me off guard, the world building and pacing isnt the worst either.

Is this anime absolute dogshit? Yes. Should you watch it? Yes.
If you're a sucker for isekais, shitty animes, or OP MCs, give this a shot.

~~ A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ ~~
Overall Rating: 4/10

----- Reason for watching? -----
Heard of the premise, was morbidly curious

----- Reason for finishing? -----
Was amazed by the ridiculous premise, was morbidly curious to see how long it kept the bit going

----- Story: 2/10 -----
... I can safely say that having only just finished the show I've already forgotten most of the major details. In fact I don't think there is a single plot point that interested me or made sense, which in itself is kinda impressive

----- Art: 5/10 -----
Absolutely nothing to say here, it's art arted, and there was certainly animation. Not really bad in any way, but I wouldn't say it was good either

----- Sound: 5/10 -----
There was not a single memorable moment of sound design or OST, which in itself is disappointing. I'd rather it be awful so I can laugh about it

----- Character: 8/10 -----
In all honesty, I loved a few of the characters enough to keep me going through the whole thing. The MC was hilarious in his cardboardness, and the main girl was honestly very likeable. There was some side characters that were fun and others that made me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty soup spoon, so good job on that I suppose

----- Enjoyment: 10/10 -----
I was in physical pain and astonishment from the start of episode 1 till the end of episode 12. Fever dream of a show and I kinda loved it, not because I enjoyed the experience but because I knew I'd made it to the end somehow and could move on with my life and be a better person. Still would 100% watch a season 2 though

----- Rewatchability: Never/ maybe once for shits and giggles -----
You'd have to pay me to sit through this again, and even then I'd have to seriously think about it. Or you know, re-watch it future me to see if I'm being too harsh. I dare you.

----- Afterthoughts -----
I realise it is a parody of Isekei, the thing is it was too good at being a parody. There were many times I couldn't tell if something would happen intentionally to mock the genre or if it was just hilariously terrible unintentionally. Extremely well done if it was the former

----- Disclaimer -----
A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ is for my own benefit, since I have a hard time remembering shows or why I liked them and I wanna document the journey through this massive anime watch list. To anyone other than future myself who stumbles across this somehow: I don't recommend you listen to me, I'm a dumbass

This show is so bad that it’s made me climb out of my swamp-ass-infested gaming chair out of pure testosterone-fuelled rage just to write a review, which is something I don’t normally do.

——— Story: 2/10 ———
The only reason this isn’t getting a 1/10 is because there is some semblance of a story, and I say this out of pure generosity because the string risking life and limb to keep this narrative intact is incredibly thin. It introduces itself as a clear parody of an isekai, and it’s all downhill from there. Countless plot holes, no clear objective to the main story, and multiple sub-stories ... are just some of the issues. The worst part is that nothing that happens in the story matters. An antagonist shows up? Not to worry, dear viewer, don’t waste your time getting invested in the antagonist’s character or even remembering their name. Our trusty MC will kill them in the most anticlimactic way possible before their voice actor has time to wonder if the quick paycheck was worth having their name attached to this project. I’m not even kidding when I say that outside the main characters that keep the plot going, a character is lucky to live past the same episode they’re introduced. It all finally wraps up in another anticlimactic way that you’re numb to by the end of the series. Also, there’s some mecha stuff that I forgot existed in the story until they were shown again in the last ep.

——— Characters: 3/10 ———
In terms of the MC, you’re getting exactly what you came for: an OP giga chad that has never and will never come close to losing EVER. PERIOD. I’m not saying that kind of MC can’t be fun, but here it just flops for me because he makes everything that happens in the story pointless. Like I mentioned, there is no reason to care about any antagonist because as soon as they pose a threat to the MC they die, which by extension, makes it difficult to care about the plot as a whole. The MC is also pretty two-dimensional outside of a backstory they interject with occasionally, which is fine I guess. Everyone else is generic af and plays into some kind of lazy trope. Also, get ready to be bombarded with a million names almost constantly, but if you’re anything like me, don’t bother remembering them because chances are they either matter very little to the story or will die in a few scenes anyway. I swear to god, one episode in particular hits you with at least a dozen names in the span of five minutes.

——— Animation: 5/10 ———
There really isn’t anything much to say here. Frames are in fact playing in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion. The animation/art is just the safe, modern anime style you’re probably used to watching. Nothing bad, but also nothing great. It serves its purpose.

——— Sound: 5/10 ———
Just like the animation, there really isn’t anything noteworthy in this department. The op is fine, although completely forgettable imo and there’s no part of the ost that didn’t just fade into the background. Again, nothing bad but also nothing great. It serves its purpose.

——— Overall enjoyment: 4/10 ———
I picked up this show because it sounded up my alley, but man I can’t be more disappointed. The best thing I can say about this show is that, although very scarcely, it randomly made me chuckle with a gag I wasn’t expecting, probably due to the fact that I lost all ability to expect anything from this show somewhere after the first couple of episodes.

——— Do I recommend watching? ———
I don’t recommend watching this anime if you’re looking for a show that begs at least a handful of brain cells from the audience. If you want something that just barely surpasses children’s YouTube content in terms of narrative and creative quality, you could probably do worse.
