"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Read the manga. I can say it's not horrible if I remember right. |
 |
| The isekai truck keep chugging along, no survivors. |
 |
| Nothing special just your regular harem in another world anime well as long as it's better than Smartphone then I will give it a try I suppose |
| It sounds like it doesn't have even an ounce of originality. |
 |
| What is that anime that started this isekai trend again? Why are most isekai MCs overpowered af anyway? |
 |
| Why, why my favorite Isekai series still didn't have an anime adaptation. Sigh... Well this series is good , I have a fun time when reading the manga, hope the anime will follow the source perfectly. |

| The first sentence was enough to make me roll my eyes. The isekai adaptations are never-ending. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| OHMYGOSH that synopsis is hilarious xDD enough to make me want to watch it! Looking forward to it :D "I forgot to teach him common sense" LMAOOOO |
| As long as a good studio picks this up it should be interesting. The synopsis does sound hilarious, a boy with no common sense, it should be a fun ride! |
| Looks like a solid pass for me |
| Sounds lazy, terrible and entirely unoriginal. Pass. |
| Don't pass up the chance to watch yet another of those 100 same anime that came out in the last 5 years. Anyways, I have read it in the past and it is boring. If you think you are in for some comedy, nope. It tries to be funny but the humour is pretty low-tier. It won't make you laugh unless you are one of those who laugh at anything (like an idiot). Also, it surprises me how on earth these stories get 7+ in MAL. What's so great about reading rinse and repeats time and over again? |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| more of the same shit anime.. |
| I have read few chapters of the manga version of this series and i had to say that i enjoyed it very much so i am happy to see it getting an anime adaptation.Now,if only 'mushoku tensei' could also get an anime adaptation. |
| Looks so good I like the way the girls dress !! It reminds me of Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records from last season |
| I've added the manga to my ptr ages ago but now that it's getting an anime, I'll watch it instead and see what it's like, hopefully it'll be good. |
| Another isekai, so this is the revenge for those two nukes ? |
 |
| This is sum up what happen in the LN! MC: Use magic without chant. Other: Wow cannot believe he did that. MC: Make something he thought ordinary. Other: Wow it must become national treasure. MC : Invent something yet again. Other: Wow he is crazy. Anyway that is what happen in the LN when MC did something and other look in awe. Another thing is this is not harem since he only have one love interest. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| @NeoAnkara the main love interest in this Ln is a tsundere? |
 |
| Nope. They often unconsciously flirting with each other even before becoming couple. Other people can see it clearly and ship them. |

| @Prog_upworks13 @NeoAnkara thx guys from a quick research people say that she is a very nice girl so i'll give this anime a try |
|
| Haha, that fucking PV. "Are you a normie with no taste!? Fam! Step right up!" |
 |
| Read its WN & LN together to a pretty far away, all I can say is its NOT a harem. lol |
| PV? It is just copy/paste of the manga. After checking the manga, it's not that bad. The strong point seems the romance with a heroine that looks like a deredere. |
| Yeah... if you're not a fan of isekai there's no point in checking this series out. Unless the romance interests you or you like OP protagonists. Edit: Oh my god that PV is trash. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Ugh, and people didn't believe me when I said shitty LN isekai adaptations were incoming. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
Merlin said: "I forgot to teach him common sense"! I can almost see the waifus untouched... In very different ways! I was just fully aware of my situation... I'm dreaming... Indeed I am.... |
MortalMelancholy said: Ugh, and people didn't believe me when I said shitty LN isekai adaptations were incoming. "Incoming?" We've been living this for about 2-3 years now. Death March and Tate no Yuusha are coming up soon too. |
| I think they could've had just pull a reverse-isekai than just a normal isekai with this plot. The "I forgot to teach him common sense" works on isekai people coming to Japan. |

| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Another day, another isekai where the MC dies and put into another world. Also, the PV... dammit. Without a doubt the most creative PV I've seen to date. |

Kuma said: It's good at first but the novelty start to wear off each passing chapter. Still decent read if you are into romcom since the rom part is quite straight forward.NeoAnkara said: This is sum up what happen in the LN! MC: Use magic without chant.

Kuma said: It's more on the idiotic couple territory. They fall in love at first sight when the MC save the girl from thug. He is smitten by her beauty and she too is smitten by his strength and kindness. Not too much spoiler since this will basically in the first episode anyway.NeoAnkara said: It's good at first but the novelty start to wear off each passing chapter.

| I don't see this being good as an anime tbh. Its should stay as a manga. |

I like how you can somehow determine that based on basically nothing. |
