| the animation quality is surprisingly good for an isekai, though the world itself seems kinda bland. My main problem is that they hardly introduced the main story yet, theres no conflict just a lot of background info. It made it super boring to watch all the way through. Well, now that the useless exposition dumps are over, maybe the second episode will introduce something actually interesting. If I recommend this to anyone, I'll be sure to tell them to skip this episode. |
kysmongo said: my problem is the same as almost every isekai. why is it necessary for him to come from another world? does it add anything to the plot that you couldnt tell otherwise? Yes. 1. Scientific knowledge (which the anime did demonstrate if you paid attention). 2. Japanese Written Language (anime didn't show it, but he uses Kanji to more efficiently use inscription magic). |
 |
| I'd already put this way above Smartphone, death march and Ragnarok (not difficult). It's not original either but I don't care, I think I'll enjoy this one |
| It was okay, I guess. Synopsis made it clear that the main character is going to be OP, but was it really needed to make him the usual idiot MC? It's not like the first episode was totally awful or something, but it'll probably end up as another so-so Isekai. Nothing special. However, I'm curious about the guy with the long white hair; I'm guessing he'll be one of the antagonists (or THE antagonist?). If so, I hope he's not another generic bad guy. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| I usually try to stay as far away from isekai anime as possible, not really sure what made me even watch this one. I mean it wasn't bad, there just wasn't anything interesting about it either. Will give the next episode or two a try, but if it stays as boring I'll probably drop it before I crack my jaw yawning. 5/10 for the episode |
| Well yet again a isekai with a op af MC, nothing new here. But why he is living in the mansion of KonoSoba party?? This is some kind of prequel that I didn't know about [sarcasm off]?  |
 |
| It actually was pretty okay. A bit surprised about the high score though. (Would have expecte something more between 7.0 and 7.5 instead higher than 7.5. Then again a lot of worse anime even have better scores. :D) Not going to watch it though. I'm not that much into the mood for generic stuff which doesn't stand out in at least one point. Basically nothing special in every area and the studio usually is known for only "okay-ish" stuff. Showing his childhood after reborn - does not happen that often. Last time I remember it in a fantasy setting ... I think it was in Knights and Magic (which was a better anime). Showing the scenes before his death remindes me of the Slime anime. The comedy is okay only. (Nothing top level like KonoSuba.) The setting seems your usual stuff + the plot (going to academy, getting to know some girls). Not really that intersting. Still watchable if in the mood for it. (I'm not this season.) Only think a bit annoying is that they did not use anything from his prevous life. (Could have worked without Isekai.) Or does knowiing school chemistry from earth help him with the spells? (Other than that he seemed your usual office worker. Not a programmer or something intelligend like with other Isekai that use that as base for super powers in the fantasy world later.) |
Minecarter said: this is a japanese cartoon. Have you ever seen an isekai where the MC has an european name regardless of the environment? About throwing random shit maybe you are right but it does not even come close to how much random shit is thrown in NGE and some actually enjoy that garbage. Or in Fate/Stay knight . My point is yes the fact he references Merlin may be a bit out of place but it does not ruin the fun, at least not for me. Also as a side note, aren't you tired that almost any magic anime out there has to have the MC the reincarnation of Abe no Seimei? I mean there is only so much one can reuse an idea before it gets boring.nightcrawlercyp said: Maybe he felt the name by his aura? who cares? It just shows that the writer didn't even try. He just threw random shit that he read on-line in his free time. |

I think it was pretty fun though I don't have much to say yet. Not a lot happened so I guess I'll have to wait for the next episode |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| I do not come to waste time watching this, I did not even see the episode, but it is worth a 1/10 because it is an absolute and boring garbage. |

Japanese Written Language (anime didn't show it, but he uses Kanji to more efficiently use inscription magic). But do they need this? make him come from another world just to justify him being OP? cant they just make a character that needs to work for it? I return that question: Do we really need yet another MC who has to "work for it" like every single shounen MC ever? I can't speak for others, but one of the reasons I got to like OP MCs was because I got tired of all the shows that couldn't help but have "underdog" protagonists with perfectly scaling antagonists who are always "just the right amount stronger" than the MC, so that the MC could beat them after the next training arc, but it always felt like it cheapened the accomplishments of such MCs because it always becomes worthless the moment the next antagonist gets introduced and it starts all over again... When I see an OP MC, I know from the get-go that at least that sort of thing won't be issue for that series. |

Every time I hear them saying "Shin", it pisses me off because it's out of common sense. |

Shield Hero That's one. Re:Zero That's two. now name an isekai where the tension has meaning and is integrated organic and nothing forced in the narrative. there are thousands of animes that not depend tension and that does not make them bad, what makes them awful is the bad writing. |
| I don't know but i feel like the blond guy in the op is gonna be a jerk |
 |
| I liked what I saw. My only real issue is that I hope the MC doesn't remain this idiotic for the whole show. I really like all the other characters that make up the MC's family, though. The animation is also great. |
| People are more angry about the simple fact of being isekai than content itself, which is not the big deal, it's just typical, but it's a typical thing of older shows, remember the beginning of dragon ball? Practically the premise is the same as that of an orphan boy who was raised by a very strong old man specialized in something that made our protagonist very good in that matter, until Goku was shown as someone very strong at the beginning being able to lift a car, fight with dinosaurs and resisted the bullets of a machine gun the only difference is that nobody complained at that time. Even the lack of common sense was also something typical of goku since he was isolated from everyone he did not even know was a woman lol |
| Oh, used to read this one when I got the Isekai fever. This won't be a great show, just your cliche isekai with a super OP mc. Like the smartphone but without harem Mullerio said: Wont be top 10 this season judging from the first episode I don't know, everything I've seen this season has been pretty bad, lmao. kysmongo said: But do they need this? make him come from another world just to justify him being OP? cant they just make a character that needs to work for it? What @Grey-Zone told you are the reasons why he becomes much more OP than what he'd be if it wasn't an isekai. And what if it wasn't needed anyway? The author might had just wanted to write an Isekai so he did it. And I don't know about you but I'm tired of shonen where they work hard but just win because of random power ups thanks to the friendship. Minecarter said: Every time I hear them saying "Shin", it pisses me off because it's out of common sense. Common sense? This show is about a man who dies but then is reborn in another world where magic exist, and a fucking name is what triggers you? Hahahaha |

| This is one of the best Isekai romance i know and the first episode was great.The Magic animation looks really good and can't wait to see more in action... |

This is some kind of prequel that I didn't know about [sarcasm off]? Wow. Anyone know if it's some generic stock or reference to a famous building? Here's the mansion from the manga, looks different [/quote] |
| Been a pretty long time since I read the manga for this but man, this felt ridiculously fast pace. Well anyways, magic school plus isekai. Not sure how many people will take that, isekai already is already looked down on and being pretty generic, this show, can probably seen as a turn off for many. As for me, enjoyed it a bit more than I expected, the visuals and interactions were a lot more quirky than I remember reading. Made it a lot more fun. |
| Interesting first episode. Typical overpowered character sucked in to a different world after meeting his demise in his own world, but at least the build up was gradual and I like the supporting characters already. |
       |
| Good pace, the faster the better for this kind of "trashy" anime. And it wasn't that bad itself. Cliche; but watchable cliche and also kinda parody show I'd say. |
 |
| Yo dawg, we heard you like isekai tropes. So we added isekai tropes on top of isekai tropes so you can be tropy while still iseka-ing. |
took the words right out of my mouth MC kun, despite that i didn't hate it seems to be a main focus on fun and the girls are super cute thanks to that Tiv ish looking character designs  |
 |
| Well that was fast paced but in a good way though. Everything happened so fast, he lived, then died, got reborn, grew up, became a genius and saved girls, what a life he's had so far. It's a full novel on his part. I wonder if the other worlds these characters get reborn in are so weak, since they always become overpowered? Anyhow I enjoyed it and it is better than the stuff I'm watching right now. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| It was ok. What I want to know is where is @coolitzhubertxvi? Considering he was hyping this to no end... |
| Finally some solid animation. So the gimmick on this to differentiate from other Isekai will probably be, "lack of common sense", I don't dislike that so this might be fun. |
| Well that was bad. It almost filled the typical isekai cliche checklist in a single episode alone. Make it self-aware doesn't make it any better. Will keep watching for the cute girls in the OP though. OP make this series looks kinda fun tbh. And apparently this might not be a harem? Since there are quite a lot of other males in the main group. |
 |
| This isekai started good for your average isekai. I like how it introduce the MC as kid and let you know his character a bit. Too bad is gonna be your typical magic School setup. Still gonna watch just 'cause. |
| Didn't need the focus on the bewbies when one of the girls was introduced at the end, gross. Still fun anime, Shin easily makes this worth watching because of how powerful he is, but also because it seems he's at times really naive. The other people that carried discussions this episode were hilarious. |
