Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku

High school student Haruka has always been a content loner. One day, he and his class are abruptly transported to another world and given skill points to use when choosing from an assortment of abilities and magical powers. Unfortunately, Haruka arrives last, and he can only use his points on the seemingly impractical abilities the others had no interest in. Although he is on his own again and must adjust to his new life by himself, he much prefers it that way.

However, Haruka's peaceful solitude is short-lived, as he runs into some of his classmates. Weak to their pleas for help, he ends up sheltering and helping them reunite with the others. But the different cliques struggle to see eye to eye, forcing Haruka to find a way to end the infighting and restore harmony between them to survive the unfamiliar world.

Since everyone wants to walk on eggshells about what's good and what's not, let me be the one to say this - stop going into shows like this expecting something more than what the title is giving you. This show is as generic as they come for isekais, so if you hate anything about either of those two words - stay away completely. I repeat, stay away.

Now that the riff raff is gone, let me speak to those like me, who will be willing to watch anything as long as it is ENTERTAINING. This show...is entertaining. It gives you plenty of plot points that ... would hook almost anybody, considering you want to see what the mc will get up in this isekai world, while also having to deal with his classmates. I personally really enjoy the concept of having an entire class of students being isekai'd, but most of the ones I have seen tend to fall flat, completely. However, this is one of the few, if anything - one of the two (Failure Frame being the other one...somewhat), that works pretty well.

Does the MC get away with a lot of things just because he is the MC? Yes. Are the fights innovative or revolutionary like most shonen animes? Absolutely not.

Will you still have a good time if you just sit down and watch it, without paying attention to bad reviews? I am pretty sure you will. So give it a try.

Tip: It got good for me by the second episode personally, so I recommend at least watching till the end of the second episode. If you don't like it...then toss it away.

Mixed Feelings

actually this is a good anime, it's just that there are some things that make me decide whether to give a recommendation or not.
first the MC is quite good, with bad skills but can be great beyond those who have ultimate skills

- in my opinion the title of the anime, a loner is a bit unsuitable for the storyline, where the MC is busy with activities with his friends both when he is still in the forest and when he is already in the city.
- his female friends are very annoying, I thought there would be a fantasy harem story but it turned out not ... to be. his friends are only obstacles for him.
- there is one thing that makes me quite curious, about the love story of Haruka and Angelica in the next season. it's quite late to bring up a love story in the last episode.
- if this anime does not tell the life story of the MC who lives alone in the forest, I hope in the next season he will have an adventure to another bigger city, get recognition from the residents there, and even get a noble title from the king for his achievements against monsters or demons. (this is a bit off from the concept of living alone though)
- that's why I'm a bit confused, but because the story is quite funny, I gave it a 6. but I'm still confused whether I really recommend this anime.

The words 'forever alone' is usually expressed as a reflective way of an individual's inability to commit to a relationship, friendship, or companionship in any shape or form. Most kids in school probably have heard of it and some will find meaning in those words in their teen and adult life. For a guy like Haruka, he embraces the role of being a loner and wants to be alone for the rest of his life.

It probably feels like deja vu at this point but this looks like another one of those fantasy/isekai anime we've seen countless times this year. In a twist of fate, ... Haruka and his class gets transported into another world. The catch for Haruka himself is that he got to choose skills and he took the opportunity to choose ones suited for a loner.

As someone who has read the manga, various red flags have already been triggered before the first episode aired. The amount of cast that were announced is one such example. When the premise met that Haruka's entire class would be sent to another world, they really did mean it. This translates into a mess of characters all collectively gathered in one place. While Haruka does stand out as the main protagonist, almost every other character look like leftovers. This isn't a show about character building for such a cast. Intead, it's about Haruka. That's it. Haruka, a loner. So in restrospect, we can throw character development out the window.

Yet, this is all felt so blend when we have him as a protagonist. He never hides the fact that he wants to be alone through the action of his skills and personality. There's many levels to this but the fundamental idea is that Haruka truly wants to enjoy life as a loner. He refuses to join other groups or form a party. The first few episodes details Haruka's adventure in this other world that doesn't really set itself unique from other fantasy isekai. There are towns, guilds, monsters, items, skills, and just about everything you can expect. Due to Haruka's choice of skills, he has to use them cleverly. Thankfully, the anime doesn't make him into an overpowered protagonist although he is still more skilled than most of his classmates.

Because of his usefulness, he does attract the attention of others including the female group led by class representative Touka Tsuyuri. Perhaps the only other character that stands out, the anime made her into the class representative role model. She also represents the complete opposite of Haruka such as her ability as a leader, making friends with others, and being a social person. She also trusts Haruka despite his personality. The anime makes it very ambigious about the true nature of their relationship because let's face it, this got dumped into a 12-episode adventure. There is no shadow of a doubt it can adapt a light novel or manga that expands far more into its universe.

But let's treat this as an anime because that's what we're faced to do. So why not write off this series just about Haruka and the class rep Touka? The truth is, this anime wanted us to experience from a viewpoint of a loner. However, it's not a in-depth psychological study of Haruka. It's only what we see on the surface of his character. We don't know much about his life outside of this world but rather what he tries to be: a loner.

Passione's resources and lineup continue to grow by adding Loner Life in Another World. Their recent anime did show that it can faithfully adapt its character designs from the source material. Nonetheless, Haruka's character model looks like the typical teen. The female cast including Touka all have similar faces without any distinctive features. Unfortunately, character expressions throughout the show reminds blend at best and insufferable at worst. It's really like putting together all the medicore pieces of a puzzle together. And when it's complete, you get this mediocre anime known as Loner Life in Another World.
