Magic Maker: Isekai Mahou no Tsukurikata

A man who was thirty years old and wanted to use magic died unexpectedly, and when he woke up, he was reborn in another world. Named Theon, he had high hopes that there would be magic in another world, but there was no magic in that world.

Theon became depressed and lethargic, but an event led him to discover the existence of magic.

"That's right. If there is no magic, then I will make it myself."

With this in mind, Theon began researching magic from that day onwards. Eventually, through the spread of a disease that can only be cured by magic, and a chance encounter with an enemy that can only be defeated by magic, Theon becomes a hero who saves the world. This is the story of a simple magic fool who, while tossed about by fate, overcomes it with the power of magic and an indomitable fighting spirit, ultimately propagating magic to the people.

Best isekai of the season lol.

Magic Maker is in the same class of isekai as Jobless reincarnation and ascendance of a bookworm where the main character gets by using their Adult 21'st century brain in a medieval fantasy world.

The main premise is that the main character wants to establish magic in a fantasy world where nobody knows about it by using clues from the natural world piece together a magic system.

Honestly if that premise alone interest you then go watch it, the show does a pretty good job at giving the main characters clues about how magic works and the way they decipher them and ... experiment with the given data is compelling and realistic from the 3 episodes we've seen so far.

the characters are also good, they're all pretty distinct and i enjoy watching them bounce of one another, especially their friend who's a commoner girl that acts like a noble, I wish they use her more going forward.

they're not like S tier in depth interesting, but they're interesting enough to keep you entertained, which is a surprisingly a high bar to clear for most modern anime, especially most modern isekai , if we're judging by modern isekai standards then this shows characters are like triple SSS tier.

The animation is wonky and the pacing is a bit slow but not enough to be a detriment to the show.

like with any show where an adult main character gets reincarnated as a child, the show kind of dips it's toes into the icky territory with the way it handles it's relationship, if the contextual implications of that creep you out just don't watch because i feel like it's only going to get worse with how the show is dealing with it.

conversely if you like the contextual implications of that then keep watching because i feel like it's only going to get better with how the show is dealing with it.

tldr, definitely check it out if you like the premise, if you don't like the premise still check it out it's like probably like top 5 best anime's of the season if you're only counting new series

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Magic Maker: Isekai Mahou no Tsukurikata is yet another isekai entry this season. While it may not be groundbreaking or life-changing, it stands out for at least trying to be different. It’s not perfect—there are definitely some rough edges—but the effort to just not be another super OP MC power fantasy anime is much appreciated.

The story is fairly straightforward: it follows a fantasy enthusiast in his 30s who gets reincarnated into a world where magic hasn’t been discovered yet. With this blank slate, he embarks on a journey as a "magic maker." What sets this tale apart is how it truly feels like the story ... of a pioneer—the founder of magic itself. The magic in this world is far from the flashy, awe-inspiring spectacle we’re used to. Instead, it’s raw, impractical, and, quite frankly, underwhelming—almost boring to look at. It shows the struggle of building something extraordinary from nothing,you know,just like every invention of technology in our world.
This anime does its best to ground magic in "real-life" logic. While it's not perfect and the science can be stretched to absurdity at times, the effort to bring a sense of realism to the fantastical world is evident.

One of the standout aspects of this anime compared to other isekai this season is that the characters feel like actual characters.They aren’t just bland, cookie-cutter tropes we’ve seen a hundred times before. The story takes the time to show who the main character was before being reincarnated. We see his passions, how he lived, and even how he died. His journey of adapting to the new world feels organic and grounded.

The supporting cast also gets meaningful attention. For instance, the MC actually has parents who act like parents—they’re not just background props but integral parts of his life and growth. This level of care extends to other characters as well. They all feel like they’re contributing to the story, playing their roles, and actively participating in the narrative, rather than simply existing to orbit the protagonist.

The music for both the opening and ending themes is exceptionally well-crafted, standing out as another highlight of the anime. Once again, the creators show their effort to break away from the norm, opting for something more unique rather than relying on the usual fantasy stock soundtracks.

Now, let’s talk about the downside: the animation. Unfortunately, it’s rough—noticeably below average compared to other anime this season. While it’s not a PowerPoint slideshow or a CGI disaster, it’s far from a high-budget production with fluid, 10,000-frame sequences. The lack of polish is evident, and it might be a turnoff for viewers who prioritize visuals. Still, the animation gets the job done, even if it struggles to match the ambition of the story.

Also here’s a heads-up: while this anime might appear to be tailored for "casual" viewers at first glance, it’s anything but. From the very first episode, it becomes clear that it’s designed to cater to a specific audience. This focused approach might leave some viewers feeling a bit weirded out, but for others, that niche appeal could make the show even more enjoyable.


Overall, it's not really a "first pic" or a must watch anime,but it's still enjoyable to some certain degree.

🟢New anime early NO SPOILER review
Story: Believing that if you reach age 30 as a virgin you'll become a magician, our main character conjures a "spell" which results in nothing, shocked from his discovery that his long awaited dream isn't real he dies. The next time he open his eyes he's a baby named Shion. Raised together with his older sister who adores him to a rich family household, Shion remembers his previous life memories and understands that he's in a different world, a world with fairies, monsters and goblins, but the word and concept of "Magic" is unknown, and so he decides to pursue ... into searching for his dream once more until he discovers a mysterious light that not everyone can see, is that "Magic"?

Review: Ok so first thing first, based on the opening song there seems to be a time skip, so the characters don't remain children. Second, the art style is giving off a very low budget generic isekai anime vibes. On the interesting part, the concept of "creating magic" here is actually explained in detail so that's nice. What's not nice is the weird siscon feeling i'm getting when the sister told the MC that she wants them to stay forever together. I'll say that the sister reaction is totally normal in that age, even IRL little girls say that they want to marry their dad when they grow, in that age kids don't understand nothing, what bothers me is that Shion has a 30-year old brain in a child body, his first reaction is to say we can't stay together forever because he knows they're brother and sister (hench proving his maturity), but when the sister gets hurt as expected, he promises not to marry anyone and stay with her forever, where the f*** did that come from? and again he's portraited as a very smart kid that thinks like an adult, but to remind you that he actually believed that reaching age 30 as a virgin will grant him magic? This is an average slow-paced chill anime to pass the time if you got nothing to do better, but i'm continuing to watch for now due the interesting magic concept, but it's not an anime that i'll recommend to others to watch for now. (Update: as of episode 5, the brother-sister relationship is safe now, still not making what happened before not weird)

🔥HOT BONUSES!
1. Reaching age 30 as a male virgin doesn't grant you magic, i can prove it.
2. Generic looking as it is, the goblin drawing design has the scariest look i ever seen in any anime with goblins.
3. Banging sisters is NOT OK, unless it's two sisters not related to you.

⚠️: I will edit this review at the end of the season with my final thoughts with no spoilers at my "Anime List" on my profile, i will NOT delete this early review. If you want to check the season review or other anime reviews i do, you can check it here: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Ron014
