The episode was great, but so much stuff happened Idk how interesting the rest of the season will be when the episode already established the mc is a prodigy stronger than essentially anyone in the kingdom (assumed from the fact he took a demon out by himself).

Haha this was a fun episode. This seems like the kind of anime one would enjoy the hell out of if they decided to turn off their brains.

Our MC is a pretty strong person who used to hunt down demons in his past life, he wanted to progress more so he decided to get reborn under a different crest, known as the crest of failure. Now throughout the episode we are shown just how strong our MC is. This anime feels like a generic shounen or isekai anime but is very enjoyable nonetheless.

There are cute girls, overpowered MC and lots of action. I'm in. I was in with just the cute girls part though. About the MC, as a person I don't think I like him very much as of now, lets see how his character is developed. Alma and Lurie are cute, so I like them already xD. Especially Lurie >.<

The pace was very fast if I might add, lots of things happened in the span of just one episode, he got reincarnated, passed his entrance exams, started teaching the professors of his academy wordless magic, many months passed by and he even entered the annual competition thingy, defeated a demon like nothing.

I don't know what to expect but we sure are going to see logic defying powers of our MC. I would like a little bit of kawai girls thrown in too, should be enjoyable.

For now I'm gonna rate it 7/10.

Here are some cute screenshots.

Not even that bad!

Rushed? Yes.
Unoriginal? Yes.

But I was still entertained and not bored for a single second. Sometimes that's all you can ask for, especially with something like a (sudo) isekai. I definitely was less interested in this anime before I watched the first episode, so it did a good job for me.

I had a little craving for more fantasy shows after finishing the Aristocrat anime back in the previous season, so I wanted to check this series out.

While I'm not one to drop shows, regardless of their quality, This first episode felt far too quickly paced for my liking, despite it being pretty okay. Whether the rest of the series will have this speedrun-style pacing or not,. who knows, but it's not left the best impression on me.

Aside from that, the characters are decently likable enough, even if it ticks off the usual common tropes of the genre this series focuses on. The visuals are good and the OP sounds nice, too. I doubt this'll be anything special, but hopefully the next episode will improves things, unless my blind optimism is being useless again. XD

This was so bad I kept on checking how many minutes were still left for the episode to finish, it's not an isekai but follows generic isekai setting to a T. I had already predicted it from the title but still gave it a shot since Ani-One was uploading it, they just wasted one of their slots on this garbage instead of picking up a better anime. Dropping it.

Another result of how rushed the anime is. The manga makes it clear that while the demon has 10x the magic power of the MC, the demon is very inexperienced when compared to the MC.

this anime version is too rough and too much rush things, making this like garbage

many scene was skipped even scene when matty was child on a village with his new family, when matty using storage magic after subjugate the war tiger on he road, when the storekeeper ask matty to give enchantment to all of stuff on store, when the teacher who lost to ruri and he runaway from school to store to buy the same sword like ruri, when headmaster to do retest matty to solve the unsolved questions by teacher, and when tournament it has to be 3 vs 3 not 1 vs 3;

some characters was erased and changed, like a teacher to show matty's perform that has be women not men and the swordsman that test matty at first is not look more intimidating than on manga;

the animation level was decreased from manga lol i thought anime version will be more amazing animation when do magic and fight. like matty did reinforcement magic to jump to sky before shot fire bullet on his perform.

i really disappointed, with this anime version

Hmm the show is pretty good so far, The mc reincarnates for getting 4th crest instead of his 1st crest (because it's more powerful and suitable for combat). But the era he reincarnated was messed up by invaded demons that disguised as humans and they spread the rumour 4th crest is "failed crest". So people believed that for generations and forgot(avoided) the wordless casting. It also mentioned 4th crest have only short range, And that's why he casts a powerful spell on that entrance test for compensating his short range (create shockwave to blow the target). I don't see any problem with the show, if you can find any reply to my post. (And I don't understand why it's receiving bad rating)

Well the animation is as expected from this type of show, not mind blowing, but there have been worse. I wonder why the pacing is so fast, due to which explanations and logic felt quite lacking. In fact, if you don't read the synopsis, you won't even be able to know how or why he transformed from that all powerful sage to this current body of a boy. The fight at the end was good, but again slightly let down by that fast pacing. This episode could have been made into three and nothing would have fallen out of place.

Holy shit that was bad. I didn't mind what I've read of the manga but this adaption is pretty awful. Felt like they shoved an entire volume into a single episode or something and just picked random bits to animate. The character designs also look... off and the battle animation is pretty much nonexistent. Shame, usually the first episode is at least decent in the latter. Then I decide to look at the studio/staff and immediately see JC. Ah, that explains it all.

This pacing is dumb, also they wasted the crucial time slot for world building by doing anything else, not even giving proper explanation of what crest is, and why it makes MC is special. Quite disappointing coming from the director of Bakuman. I'm guessing they're tight on budget, but that doesn't makes much sense since this title has a lot of huge backers like Square Enix, GREE, Universal JP, etc.

What a weird way to start.

While I havent read the source material for this anime, I could feel the rushed aspect of the show, I think the show just want to show off what our MC could do and then backtracking the story??

wierd pacing but no cgi dragon at least lmao


Whoever wrote the script and/or storyboarded the show must be on something. The first episode adapts 7 chapters of the manga. 7!!! That's nuts! There are soo many time skips in the story. His entire childhood and the relationships with his family arc, gone! His training, the first days at school, him actually teaching the other students chantless magic. The material they passed up is easily 5~6 episodes worth.

I'm quite saddened by how poorly written the show is shaping up to be. The fact the the animation is actually amazing for an Isekai makes me even sadder. They are skipping too much story, exposition; important & interesting exposition. I don' think its worth watching if they rush it like this. Its seems like an extended traitor rather than an anime episode.

For shame Square Enix and Noriaki Akitaya[Director]. You did an actually decent Isekai dirty

I am a trash power fantasy enjoyer as well, but damn how TF does this get a 6,8~???? Everything was extremely rushed, like we have a few centuries time skip after he decides to reincarnate, skip everything on how he was raised, a single scene where he shows he's the OP MC by taking out a giant monster and then we just jump to a blacksmith that he enters because why not; In the blacksmith a girl trusts him entirely without a single reason to do so and he even reveals he has the "weakest" crest (even more reason to doubt him in this setting); Then after they do all the enchantment mumbo jumbo we just skip to the school trial where he wipes the floor with the instructor and the guy is like "wow you're son of that guy (never before mentioned) and that explains a part of your strength" and that's it, he then proceeds to become a special instructor in the school for some reason (Not to mention that the director said they couldn't really teach wordless magic because 1st academy but then they proceed to teach it anyway) and he trains the entire class for some not apparent reason as well since we never see the class actually doing something with it and then we have another 1 month time skip to a tournament that is also skipped to just the last battle where he kills a demon that was supposed to have 10 times his magic strength in a one sided match?

So just to make sure I did not forget a thing, in 20 minutes he: Gets tired of life, reincarnates, goes through his 12 years of life, power harass some poor monster in the middle of the forest, acquired his party (Future love interest[?] and "trust weird strangers" girl){discovers he can destroy the economy by doing quick enchantments whenever he wants to},power harasses the instructors in his exam, enrolled in school, became a instructor in said school, train his class for 1 month, skipped over an entire tournament arc, power harasses a demon that has 10 times his power, creates the resolve to wipe out demons in the human world and then ended with him in front of the throne. Did I miss anything? and once again, HOW DOES THIS GET ALMOST A 7????? again I love trash anime, but this was an entire season into a single episode

6.78 rating is too high of a rating for this anime right now. It's a 5 MAL rating at the very best. This first episode was just a god-awful adaptation and had terrible directing.


rating on MAL are always completly bloated to begin with. 6/10 is basically a 1/5 and a 9/10 is a 4/5. This way it´s more accurate. 5 is supposed to be average but like every show on here is a high 6 even the worst trash

I predict that next MC will kill Demonias, Evil-kun, Luciferius, Baddie-Baddie, and many, many others. Without raising his heartbeat. On the other hand, he's kind of cute. Only fan service can save this show.

Am I missing something here?

MC was an adult in previous life, why should he blush over a kid girl, do women not exist in previous life?
Also why would he afraid against Headmaster when he literally defeat something like a final boss in previous life, or there is no human in previous life as well?

Blacksmith mentioned it is hard to enchant, MC literally shown him the crest that is able to enchant and blacksmith instantly reply a crest of failure. ???????

Crest of Glory is well known as high class crest but require user to chant a short time, instructor said MC's crest is useless because of not being Crest of Glory. Despite that everyone still surprise and wow at MC's chant-less spell. ??????? Why ?????? Isn't it a failure crest ?????

Lost casting style just because noble don't like it? What? this is actually something, the first time I saw a corrupted noble that don't want something powerful LOL

Chant-less magic seeming like a imagination thing (like every other manga out there), why has no one ever thought of it and use it this well despite knowing the existence of this casting style? Are all the people in this anime idiots or what? Don't they use their stupid brain?

MC's crest is also seemingly able to do all kind of things, why the heck everyone keep calling his crest failure? So, the people in this anime is really idiot?

Just because someone persuade that having more than one crest is failure, then everyone with more than 1 is a failure? -facepalm-

What the fuck is wrong with the logic in this anime in just 1 episode? EVERY FUCKING THINGS ARE SO CONTRADICTING!!!!

1. Hormones (in the novel he thinks it's weird that he finds her attractive)
2.he is not as strong as in his past life at this point compared to the humans in his past life he is above average for his age but still weak
3. It is called the crest of failure because it cannot use chant magic and that is the only one people know exists. Also all crests can enchant his is actually the worst at it
4. It is called the crest of glory because it is the best at chant magic which is the only thing people know exists
5. It literally says at the end of the episode that it's because of the demons tricking everyone into not knowing chantless magic is real
6. It's not an imagination thing it requires them to know how to move their mana and use magic circles to use chantless magic in the novel it says the hardest part of teaching them was teaching them how to move the mana
7. They don't know he can do those things and also that is the official name for the fourth crest in that time. Every crest can do everything it's just that each one has specialties and the only things they know how to do are the things that first crest (crest of glory) is best at
8. Wdym he only has 1 crest
And for reference it says that no humans have known about chantless magic for hundreds of years and demons have actively steered them away from rediscovering it

This one doesn't even hide the fact that this is just a ad to boost Light Novel and Manga when comparing to Manga. Because they skipped and even fastened unskipped way to much, so it felt like watching last couple minutes of first episode with episode 2 then watching first episodes. But animation was not bad so far.

I was really hype but then the first ep was sooo rush that really annoying to watch.
Some scene even appear twice with different dialog.
Some funny moment like Alma just casually as Matty about enchanting the Sword and take it as a joke. But instead, she trust him right away.
They skipped the test of the school principal
They skipped the team training part
And they don't even let Ruri and Alma to fight the 2 guys in the demon team in the Tournament but instead let Matty do all the work.

Edit: They move training part to after Ep 1... Why?

But Ruri still cute though so I will try to hold on and watch the whole season
