This is similar almost to Devil Is a Part Timer since it's the evil lord getting reincarnated to modern Japan. But unlike that this one is actually evil and not misunderstood like Maou is.
if you the manga reader damn im happy to hear this, the first time i know the corpse god got reincarnated im thinking "oh is this like other isekai shit, is he going to be a good person? is he going to be a hero? is he going to be an energetic and idiotic person? is he getting harem? something like that" (i hate this common thing in isekai lol)
i hope they didnt change some shit from source material.

Whoa, can we say that this looks like "Hatruka Maou sama" cu'z it obvious that it is the villain that got isekaied.

So can we say that Zettai Ryoki assasin girl is dead?





Ohhhh Hooo, they never shown Misaki's panty flash.

This episode went all out with those plot twists. I genuinely thought this was gonna be an everyday dark fantasy generic anime. Started thinking it was gonna be the budget Goblin Slayer x Solo Leveling collab. But that's to only be surprised with a sweet turn of events! A reverse isekai, something I was looking for from your everyday isekai weeb, and many in general were looking for. After watching The Devil Is a Part-timer season 1, I really wanted an adaption. But the adaption was not living up to my expectations/standards of even a decently trash isekai so I dropped it mid way even after wanting to really try my best to complete it. Eventually, with the spring of new anime, I found myself wanting to watch this anime out of keen interest since it came as one of the recommendations recommended to me by a website. And low and behold this anime turns out to be exactly what I expect of a reverse isekai, had my low expectations at first glance but then. Unpredictable plot twists, great animation, great music, great characters and great gore. Geek Toys studio are not known for making your top tier anime, instead there known for making mid to low tier anime like Date A Live or Plunderer which to be fair is utterly garbage.

| Very Short Spoilers Ahead (From this ep):
I was really surprised by the intense turn of events honestly. Modern technology and change of languages. But what's more is that I never expected it to be a person originally dead to be joined by a new soul. Normally isekais or generic fantasy animes in general would want to refrain from exposing identities or make sudden changes not sure why. But this anime is completely different and defies that. 

All in all, I really look forward to what this anime has to offer, it seems to have potential and more way for development. But I wont leave my expectations too high, since you never know what could happen with these wild cat isekais.

Oh nah bc this was n amazing fr. Like the story is so unique i dont even care about the cgi. Also the action is what i look for im anime man. THough its a pain that i have to wait every week for a new episode which is most-likely going to end with the cliff hanger. Just might make me read the manga fr. But over-all 10/10

I genuinely wasn’t expecting the villain being the one being reverse isekai’d and honestly I’m all-in for it, really enjoyed the first ep and probably gonna be peak anime this season (for me anyway)

Honestly a pretty solid first episode, and DAMN did the animation look good for a GEEKTOYS adaptation. Let’s hope it stays consistent.

As for the story, I haven’t the slightest clue the direction of the plot so far, but maybe that’s a good thing. I’ve seen a lot of manga readers saying they might be confusing the tone of the story in the adaptation, so I really hope that doesn’t take away from the anime. If it’s supposed to be more comedic than edgy, the vibe there was definitely confusing. As for me, I never read it, so I will just see where it goes! Good start.

I really liked this story plot and how they executed this reverse isekai scenario. Bringing him to earth is indeed perfect for his powers.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Because he's used to fighting fantasy world people with OP healing magic

A necromancer should be used to people dying, especially considering hi body count.

That's not the point. He's probably killed plenty of people, he's just used to them being way harder to kill and using magic to heal themselves from wounds like the one he gave her no problem. By his home world's standards he thought he had just thrown a light little opening attack but by this world's standards it was an instant kill.

I thought it would be some sort of isekai battle royal but it seems it’s not the case.

Well, it’s still better than most isekai shows this season, so let’s hope it won’t disappoint.

Geek toys this year is much different from geek toys a year before. They have 35 employees vs 10 employees back then.

Also this anine would not be as good as it is it was for DAL IV. Since it was a success that was how they were able to take on more work and get more contracts. Dal is not garbage but within the top 1% of anime franchises.

Another factor to consider is the director worked on sao alicization.


There are so many stupid people on mal who think the anime studios cannot grow and get success. They just need hits.

Interesting. Surprisingly better than expected. I hope the psycho girl stays dead, though her presence in the OP says otherwise. I suppose the hero will find way to this world as well.

if you've read the manga you'll know that the first episode is absolutely nothing like the rest of the series(multi protagonist multi perspective conspiracy mystery thriller like the deus ex games)

man, that was crazy. can't wait to get more backstory on the original guy. too bad he killed the girl, she'd make an interesting and cute underling, but given the details page i won't be surprised if he uses necromancy to bring her back, seeing as she's a mc.

Well that suddenly took a very different turn! This was a pretty good first episode imo though the horny schoolgirl assassin feels a bit... Ugh lol idk I didn't like them that much, but I enjoyed this overall. For some reason I didn't piece it together that the kid was actually the Corpse God. I thought that was Shagrua, but I think I like this more because of that!

Also lol that post credit scene. He must've known they were dead right? Or are people just more resilient in that last world?

DAMN what a plot twist! Revealing that it was the villain how reverse-isekai'd to our world instead of hero probably just made this story twice as good as it would've been. I like how you're thinking it's the hero, especially when you see those eyes light up red, but then you have to remember: the villain had previously said to the hero: "you have those eyes... TOO!"

So the hero of the other world, the "calamity crusher" or whatever his title was, saved his own world, but doomed earth. I wonder if those characters of the other world are going to realize their f*ck up and come to save earth, or maybe they don't care and will be satisfied that at least their world is safe, but I hope its the former that will be the case. The calamity crusher, or Shagura Edith IS listed as a supporting character, so I'm just going to assume that that's not the last we'll see of him or anyone from that other world for that matter.The script probably has planned for them to realize that the villain, the corpse god, is still alive and kicking, and is in fact gaining power rapidly in our world which happens to be full of spirits and magic he can feed off of, and still places a threat to them because no doubt he could probably become powerful enough to teleport back to their world. 

Whatever the case is, as far as first episodes go, this one has be even more hooked than usual. Can't wait to see how things play out.

I think they'll probably explain it plainly later on, but I think the people in the world he came from were... hardier stock. It's probably not that she died, but that she died almost instantly. Likely he expected to talk to her for info or just heal her instead of... well, what he does.

i know its silly and pointless but it really irks me how the protagonist doesn't notice the drone in the room, it doesn't matter how far technology has gone, any electrical machine that size would have a substantial amount of sound coming from its engine and propellers tip or tip-less. Its an irrelevant plot device but i felt they could've done some creative writing around it. Its just sloppy but I digress overall irrelevant although draws away from immersion.

The fact that this is from the same author of Durarara and Baccano made me curious, but oh well it's shit. I think it can be fun tho, edgy version of Devil is a Part Timer.

No way that girl's dead, she's a main character. Maybe she'll come back to life or something because our mc is a necromancer.

I don't think that's correct assessment. Everything that we got first episode is still present in future. It get more complex, introduce more characters and there is more humor I guess, but it just means it get bigger not different.

nah I am currently caught up.

practically not a single character aside from his imaged flashback of the emperor kid, ever appears again,
because not a single person from the fantasy world is relevant again. and none of them ever appear outside of flash backs.

this is like a sequel to durarara if anything. its about gangsters and interesting people etc. with some magic.

no generic isekai element is ever going to be present every again, it just set the tone of it.

in fact its similar with oshi no ko for example.
where the isekai thing is completely forgotten few chapters in and it becomes a drama anime about acting and idol industry. only once every 50 chapters does oshi no ko ever takes not of the reincarnation or isekai element even the its glossed over.

for all intents and purposes nether of these series are like any isekai anime or any type of fantasy and act more like drama series.

WOW this is edgy as heck from the manga of the same name from mangaka Ryohgo Narita, being a Darwin's Game derivative, but with substance.

The legendary hero and member of the Church: the Calamity Crusher Shagrua Edith Lugrid vs the necromancer of the Corpse God, it's an intense, all-out fight for the 1st half, to save humanity. And all of that encapsulated in an overkill...that has the Corpse God relive a second chance of a life through reincarnation, albeit with a slit throat.
And what will happen to the "legendary hero"? Will the Church continue to weaponize him? Or like most stereotypes, in Isekai genre, the Fantasy Church and local kingdoms, out of corruption and greed, will brand the  "legendary hero" as a heretic that is deemed to dangerous to live in a peaceful world. 

anyway, I hope Ryohgo Narita will eventually add his Fate/Strange Fake Characters to Fate/Grand Order. Still waiting for Hippolyta and Francesca on my side.
