| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, they didn't waste much time jumping right into the magic and action for this anime. Myth & Roid performs the OP song and it's not bad but didn't feel as powerful as some of their previous work (compared to the Overlord theme songs anyway) First episode seems to focus a lot on Taichi and Rin as the main characters. They encountered some demonic horse monster...talk about having a weird day. There's also the guild themes in the show as expected as most isekai/fantasy these days. |

| im gonna be watching this later on just because with arifureta i feel like we've already seen the worst of isekai this season, this can only be an improvement xD |
You son of a .. turtle  |
| Meh, this is so generic. They're not even trying. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Damn, the worst isekai show of the year contest is filling with strong participants, first shield hero then kenja no mago, arifureta, even before maou sama and now this. Is there no stopping it. |

| Another Isekai anime huh. This one doesn't stand out at all. Anyways. So we have Taichi and Rin being sent to another world and the right away they had to deal with a horse monster. Good thing other adventurers were there. |
 |
| I feel like I can't watch this. The animation feels like an eyesore. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Rie Takahashi deserves better. Dropped halfway through. 5/10 |

| It might as well have the worst opening ever made, the animation looks like a bad anime from 10 years ago and the characters are as lame and cliche as it gets. I watching it cause this anime is trash but so am I |
 |
| Isekai Shit magician is worst isekai 2019. I read 3 manga volumes. It is just stupid cliche story with good art. Anime adoptation even don't have avarage art judging first fight. Look at his "mighty" tornado. Also MC will gain cheat power in last episode of anime. Good luck. |

| Standard Isekai so far. Has a black ball for having female warriors but a white ball for the MC already having a GF from the start. So it balances out. |
| It was okay. Very generic isekai stuff. The pacing was alright, there was no horrible CG and the episode didn't feel like it was falling apart so that puts this one above Arifureta and Maou-sama Retry for me. At least so far. |

Is there no stopping it. blame those novels creator and Japanese. we have atleast 5 new books about isekai in every month. |
 |
| Hooray! A proper introduction! Compared with Arifureta Shokugyou, this is a masterpiece. I will give this 3 episodes. |

| One of the worst Isekai i've read getting an adaptation, what could go wrong ? And to think it would be one of better Isekai anime of this season, there is no salvation. |
| To think that the season's worst isekai going to this or either Arifureta, I can decide with both being absolute trash, the Kenja no Mago of the season. Oh, and Maou-sama Retry! too, that abominable lovechild of Overlord. Nothing really stands out, and it seems that EVERY studio is trying their hands on an isekai series, with White Fox's Re:Zero retaining the champion's seat with absolutely NO competition. Too bad we can smell bad ones and their aftertastes over miles away. zamandzoe said: Rie Takahashi deserves better. Yes amen, man of culture. Feels like the recording people told her to cut her usual voice-toning down, and for the worst. AdrianRubinsky said: Compared with Arifureta Shokugyou, this is a masterpiece. Say that to infinity and beyond. |
 |
| This Isekai seems to have a better first episode than Arifureta. |
| I frown at recent installments of Persona and Trails of Cold Steel that introduce harem-like elements in the story. We need more JRPGs like the past Lunar series, where there are multiple romantic pairings in the party other than for the protagonist and main heroine. |

papsoshea said: This season has to be up there with birthing the worst isekai in existence... maybe this year. The show looks horrible. Nothing else to say. Not worst.....That goes to Hyakuren no Haou lmao. I have one opinion about Isekai Cheat, though. The main heroine of this show, Rin, is not as cute as the main heroine of Kenja no Mago, Sizilien. Sizilien is more cuter than Rin IMHO. |

| What can I say. Watchable. At least for now. I don't have any expectations. I started it only because Takahashi Rie. First Tate no Yuusha espisde wasn't bad too... |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| This is about as boilerplate as isekai get. Still a marked improvement on Arifureta because the story is really straight forward, it plays out as generic as possible. Also the artists can actually draw faces consistently. Who knows how long that will last though. The animation is a contender for worst of the year, god damn it's bad. The bike sliding across the screen on a motion tween, that disaster of an opening was incomprehensible when it wasn't still shots of characters. I have no reason to care about the main character whatsoever. Regarding the first episode of all the isekai this season, this one is easily the most forgettable. |
 |
| Alright The 3rd isekai anime out of 4 this season, and all three of them has a score below 7 with a messed up first episode Please J.C.Staff, you're our last hope with Okaasan online |

| Well better start than I expected.Lol he brought his heroine with him. Rin looks like a gd fmc since she jumped right into the circle for him despite not knowing what will happen to them. Well even if this turn out to be a generic isekai anime, I still love watching isekai animes with over powered mc so proly gonna enjoy this too. |

Sizilien is more cuter than Rin IMHO. @papsoshea 3 ANIME IN A ROW. BAD ONES INCOMING (this, Arifureta, Maou-sama Retry!). This year has birthed some of the worst isekai. @Ehurvaks I agree with that Ragnarok one being the worst of last year. But focus this year, and clearly the isekai traits show up in the worst manner possible. And I deride with Kenja no Majo. The plot is shit but the characters are nice (Shin, Sicily (NOT Sizillien due to translation errors)). -Aincrad- said: Alright The 3rd isekai anime out of 4 this season, and all three of them has a score below 7 with a messed up first episode Please J.C.Staff, you're our last hope with Okaasan Same here, REALLY crossing fingers and praying that isekai-MILF is the savior of the season. |

| "Hey, we have already got enough of generic isekai. People are complaining." "How about instead of transporting one person into isekai, we transport TWO persons into isekai?" "Genius. That would make it totally not generic." |
 |
| Ok. What the Hell is with this attitude of judging entire anime/season just by one episode? |
| Manga recommendation: - Spy x Family (Ch.109/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.198/? - weekly) - MARRIAGETOXIN (Ch.114/? - weekly) | Machi and Oboro (Ch.19/? - biweekly) - Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ch.82/? - biweekly) - Monochrome Days (Ch.11/? - biweekly) Anime recommendation: - Deca-Dence (Finished) | Wave, Listen to Me! (Finished) - If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished) - Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished) |
| Quite a generic episode. I guess it will get better later on. BTW this show is also from kadokawa so it maybe the next entry in Isekai Quartet |
| another iseka and I'm already shipping Taichi x Rin lol |
 |
| 47 seconds. I don't know why I bother. Remia looked pretty sexy, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to keep watching. Okay. Bye |
| First episode is very good,i must say. Pacing was good,music was decent and character introduction was good as well. However,how is going to be like in next episodes,is it gonna get better or worse? We will see in next episode. I know what is everyone saying:It's generic,so f***ing what? I don't care how generic is it,it's not simple or easy to give characters good hair colors or not to make them look same as other characters you already seen before. Even though 90% of all male anime characters and 10% of all female characters look generic,i have seen worse character's art designs,not because they were 'generic' and other trivial nonsense,it's just looked objectively bad. There are worse anime series that do deserve negative criticism,but Isekai Cheat Magician is not one of them because judging anime from just first episode is like judging a book by it's cover. Once all episodes are done,i would give an honest opinion. |
| There is no bad waifu,only bad anime. |
| compared to arifureta adaptation this is an oasis... |
| I know Arifureta was garbage but it wasn't as boring as this one. Everything about it screams ''I know it's 2019 but allow me pls'' |
| poop |
| Will stay for the probabily non existent romance between the childhood friends, and feel bad that they will only hint about it. And, Got a weekness for redheaded ponytail girls. |
| It's strangely okay-ish for now. But you can tell after the opening scenes that the show is kinda setting itself up for disaster. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt FOR NOW. I don't see this show really getting necessarily better from this first episode, though. |
 |
| Wow such originality :o |
| Oh look, another trash isekai that is very generic. This was very bad. |
 |
| Welp... There goes 3 out of 4 Isekai Anime this Season. IMO it's better than Arifureta at least. But still, the animation kinda 'stiff' and pretty generic like any other Isekai. Also, why Rin looks so familiar though?? Lol I'll stick around. |
 |
| A question to all the "this is so generic"; "isekai trash" and so on faction. Is it that hard for you lot to NOT comment here? Is it that hard for you to continue with your sorry, sad and boring lifes instead? Seriously. |
