THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
What a start this is, and a decent job for a newbie studio starting out a major production work. Okuruto Noboru, I'm expecting good things from you, since your studio is handling Isekai Maou Season 2 next season.

A "medieval" aristocratic social caste system, shouldn't be surprised there for MC Noir Starga. Bearing a rare skill of The Great Sage, and already havng the childhood friend relationship. But it's damn stupid, it's funny to have lewd kisses after using such an ability of headache kickbacks. BTW, Emma IS BOOB STACKED (and so is Olivia).

Encountering a beauty "goddess" trapped in a hidden dungeon (Olivia Servant), and it's as-is for an NPC-like character. Transferring her skills onto Noir to do lots of lewd stuff...yeah...refill your MP by doing things of lust and desire, and cheat your way through any system to grow to be OP.

With a story like this, prepare for more harem moments incoming, whether or not it will honour the LN/manga is up to your depiction. Otherwise, this is just your average fantasy show with the harem being the central "plot". Ready to call this the guilty pleasure show of the season.

that intro kinda reminded me of the one piece opening lmao.

so far, the art/soundtrack and overall the production quality was actually surprisingly good. story and characters are pretty average but i can see some potential. really loving the character's designs though. also alice is cute af. also how tf do we somehow manage to already have that many kisses in the first episode lol. those exam results were way too predictable, quite overused trope, i'd probably have been more shocked if they didnt get ranked

judging from this 'LP' system i can already tell that this is gonna be another one of those overpowered harem fantasy, im not complaining though since they're usually pretty enjoyable

Yeah the first episode was average/bad, not what you would like show as the first episode of an anime.
To be fair, I will give this Anime 2/3 more episodes of chances before I drop it.

First kiss was with the childhood friend that is also the female protagonist? I might be wrong but I believe that rarely happens in harem series. If anyone knows other series that has had this happen, please list some!

As other users said, this episodes was average/bad. Design was pretty good, especially because this is the first anime of the Okuruto Noboru studio. However, the episode was pretty static, Noir seems not to have any challenge or something, looks like everything will be easy for him (I know this is a harem with magic show, but things could be more challenging anyway).

I gave 3/5 though. It wasn't bad at all. OST seems to be good and dubs are also fine, excepting Noir's one. It should be a bit deeper I guess.

I won't drop this anime though. I still look forward to the next episode. Even though first episode matter a lot, we can't judge a entire show by it.
Read light novels!
2023 Update: Do NOT read light novels. Regular novels are better. Glory to Haruki Murakami!!!

Yesss! This right here is my thing. MC gonna be OP soon, childhood friend main heroine who he already kissed, a hot af sensei, brocon sister and doting parents what else do you need XD. Also he already made a new record, nice.

Production value is good for a new studio. I liked the premise, looking forward to more.

This kind of feels like a typical fantasy series with a few twists. The MC Noir Starga is not OP yet, but he will be once he masters the skills he learned from Olivia. I liked that the series did not hold back when it came to fan service and it seems to feature cute likeable girls like Emma. Its obvious that Noir is going to have an all female party so that he can keep his life points up.

Oh boy. Here comes the protagonist with his unlimited supply of girls chasing after him, falling for him, and joining his harem. Watch as he becomes an overpowered main character with the power of girls, girls and girls.

Well this is a new studio in town so I don't expect too much from this show but I don't mind having this pass my expectations.

That was funny. It was not revolutionary or epic, but it entertained me and made me laugh. There was good comedy, the characters are interesting and the ecchi was not exaggerated.

If this anime continues to be fun and uncompromised like that, I will continue watching with pleasure.

Blond hair, Blue eyes, (huge) Bouncy boobs, white pantsu and the voice of Crimvael. I am already loving this girl.

Childhood friend, check! Bro-con Imouto, check! This is gonna be a fun ride and he already kissed his childhood friend. He is putting all romance protagonists to shame. Also, did he really just shrink her boobs??? XD

Fun show, from a studio I have not heard of before. It has the right dose of fanservice, can't complain about that. I will continue watching this.

We're only at the first episode and the dense MC is already making out with the childhood friend.

I like Emma so far. Then again, I'm biased towards the childhood friend since I feel like they never win in the end.

Unfunny comedy based on dumb remarks? √

Useless parents that just serve as decor? √

Big boobed girl friends that eventually will crave for MC's deck? √

Horny imoutto looking for onisan attention? √

Bland protagonist with the most powerful skill that even Cartman would feel envy? √

Occasional pantyshots and other titilating fanservice to attracta "that kind of audience"? √

Good lord, the only thing missing is a degenerate pet that infodumps whatever is needed to know about the world or the girls that will fall for Mr blank slate MC.

I'm going to have so much fun the whole season shitting on this dumpster fire.

It is only the first episode, but this is already on of the worst anime shows I have ever seen.

It is bad on every level. The dialogue, comedy, characters, world building, direction, editing, art, you name it. The only thing that it has to offer is ecchi fanservice but I can just go watch hentai for that (and may find some better plots).

I want to drop it so bad, but I gotta watch 2 more episodes so that I have given it a “fair shot”.

Oh boy, another fantasy show about a loser who hears a mysterious voice telling them RPG skill information and slapping status screen crap up on the screen constantly. Boy, I haven't seen one of those in… *checks clock* four whole hours. And their first skill is some form of appraisal? Wow. We're breaking all the molds this season, aren't we? Oh, but he wasn't reincarnated in another world, and not in the body of a monster. Well then. Completely different. Carry on.

This one's big twist is that fanservice gives him points to use to freely manipulate the world however he wants. And… that's also its primary joke. Well, that and that every female in the show is desperately thirsty for his useless dick. Note that they don't use this for "Oh crap, I'm in a hopeless battle, give me a second to jack off." Aside from being a punchline Oglaf has used repeatedly, that's far too creative for the show. No, he simply goes "Oh wait, it costs basically nothing to turn a tiny bullet into a giant bullet." There is no joke to that sequence. That's his creative moment of triumph, using all his 'limited' resources to overcome impossible odds.

Childhood friend route basically confirmed, MC kissed Emma already, and more than once too, fancy. He also got the most absurd set of OP abilities to exist in the universe which is very RPG styled for some reason, even though it's not actually a game world and somehow everyone who he ends up interacting significantly with is a girl? Funny how this anime is basically isekai in a nutshell but it's technically not an isekai added with the fact that we even got the childhood friend route confirmed ( I hope), take that harem tropes.

All that said, I enjoyed this. It's pretty much a pure power fantasy and wish fulfillment styled show but you know what I'll indulge. I had fun with the first episode, the show doesn't seem to be taking an overly serious route. It's light hearted with fluffy romance, I hope we get more of Emma x MC and of course sensei. They had the best scenes.

Hmmmmmmm.....so theoretically speaking the way his skills and LP work couldn't he just bring Emma to the dungeon and constantly make out with her in lockstep while destroying everything in their path? Regardless aside from the little sister love teasing and boob reduction scene(at least he said he prefers big boobs) this wasn't terrible. I definitely already ship him with Emma and hope they become an official couple. I am worried Master Olivia might become unshackled and become competition for her though. That and the other two girls in the ending theme makes me think this may be going the harem route, but I'd prefer he just end up with Emma and her not-reduced, big, beautiful tits! XD

Emma is hella cute and thicc, really like her so far. Main characters powers kinda reminds me of masou gakuen HxH or dokyuu hentai hxeros where the guy powers up through lewding girls as well so I kind of know in which direction this will go. Just hope it will have some romance in it, depending on the fanservice this could be quite fun and enjoyable since character designs and VAs are really good imo

It's MAL; despite the policy of no series reviews until at least three episodes, the haters have already posted series reviews after just one episode airing. As have the fanbois, of course. *sigh*

Me?
It's got good art. Excellent voice acting. While it covered a lot of ground in the first episode, in my mind nothing vital was removed, the social system is already made clear, a lot of interpersonal relations have been established, and some of the pluses and minuses of his abilities, innate and acquired, have been shown. A good solid beginning.

It differs from the WN. It differs from the LN. It differs from the Manga.
If it didn't...it wouldn't be much of an adaptation, would it now?

I liked it. I'm going to keep watching.

I'm not asking this to be patronizing, I'm genuinely curious. But what is the appeal in this kind of anime? Plot seems pretty awful, yet another OP MC with every single female character head over heels for him. I'm also baffled at the people praising the art... it's literally as generic as it possibly could be, and the animation is a 6/10 at best. There's nothing wrong with lewd/ecchi material as long as there's actually something interesting going on, but when it comes to shit like this, why not just watch hentai or something? I mean this show has absolutely no other redeeming qualities

Yeah just one of those shows that they’re only good for the doujins that they’ll inevitably inspire. The real deal is sadly and dreadfully boring. There's nothing to offer here than Lalatina Darkness long lost sister (and her name is Brightness coincidentally) but she's not even on the same level of amusement.

Yes sir it was a good adaptation. The first major work for a new studio called Okuruto Noboru (they need to decide on a new name though) and wow it was good. I read the manga and I know it's going to be a ridiculous story. But they actually have the production to boot the anime up.

Childhood friends Noru and Emma are already kissing to each other with passion. And it looks like they're really alright with that damn I'm jealous. And it's all to alleviate Noru's headaches when he use his Great Sage skill, I'm sure when Emma found that out she already wins the game of love.

Anyways, Noru finding out the Hidden Dungeon with Olivia-sama in it helped him big time. Having the power to imagine, bestow and edit skills is really OP and with good management will be a powerful asset for Noru. Only that he needs to recharge his LP by hedonistic activities aka kissing, sexual affection, gluttony and money (wow). Yeah this anime is ridiculous but it actually worked. Yes even Noru editing Emma's boobs (like he crazy?!).

I like how they adapted it, so far so good.

Average harem plotline, we had the typical routes,Sister,Childhood friend we're still missing the other routes for it to be a complete harem plus adding the sensei (This time go to the sensei route she's hot af) But i think the route is set i think the childhood friend will win this (damn that kiss tho) anyways The setting kinda reminds me of konosuba also his sensei reminds me of aqua but useful and Op, im gonna look forward for this hopefully they dont make the Mc too powerful
