Abstract: This show is a little, actually more than a little, irritating

I think that the anime could've started off better without the unnecessary 5 minute narration on who the main seven characters and what they are talented at. It would've been much simpler to add that information as the series went on or became necessary, or even in character conversation.All the other six seem agreeable and follow the prime minister around like they're his agents or something, and other than the odd conversation or two, they don't seem to have any other personality than their talent. Given, that this story is between the seven of them the dynamic between them is nonexistent, and as such I have no idea how they are at all friends

Also it kind of pissed me off that prime minister guy didn't even care in the slightest about the pilots or the air hosts/hostess, weren't they your citizen too?!

The first episode didn't set up much of a world and only gave a generic bad guy empire, beast people which are just humans with fluffy ears, I know there should be some leeway but that scene with the elf girl kissing prime minister guy after first meeting him was way too ...you know..it was just very unappealing.

If this were a comedy or parody on the generic-ness that some isekai show have it would be so much better, but as its not...

I actually laugh when I read about the prime minister doesn't care about the pilot and stuff. I read the manga of this anime, so I know why that happen. But i can't give spoiler so just try to continue to watch it

Animation and character design is pretty good, but holy - this was some cringefest. For me at least.
Ridiculous backstories for the characters - worlds top politician - a high school kid, i wouldn't mind that if it was a comedy isekai but they are serious.
That kissing scene felt really out of place and i usually enjoy fanservice, i mean it's the first time they meet - come on.

Hopefully it will get better, but ugh, i did not enjoy this first episode.

I thought this would be 7 actual high school prodigies using their abilities with current day knowledge to own a fantasy world, but instead we get some "japan is number one" fanservice shit.

Also why the fuck are a swordwoman that meddles in other countries wars(at best she is a mercenary), a ninja that uses her spying abilities to do journalism and parlor trick magician considered world renowned prodigies?

Also also WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL THESE KIDS TOGETHER?! I hope they at least end up answering this, though I doubt I'll watch more than a couple more episode if it continues this bad.

If they thought that Senku's scientific ability was exaggerated, these guys leave him as an illiterate, they can do anything without any credible explanation. How can you modify a cell phone to work in another world? Without satellites without communication towers? It more would be credible if he said used magic, but not this is a bullshit

I used to not get why people hated isekai so much until this latest run of them. wow what a dumb concept. basically 7 super heroes whose level of accomplishments make no sense. also zero masculinity and the tough ones are all the frail girls. how come the journalist was able to beat half the soldiers? woof. this is straight trash. the whole premise is god awful. this has the potential to be worse than isekai cheat magician

What are you saying? There guys are that generic, if you'd look up the word you probably end up with a picture of the cast ^^

Well, despite the several plotholes, as well as infodumping and disregarding stuff like 'Show, don't tell' which like every writer ever should be aware of, I probably will continue for now. And be it only for that swordgirl. I mean, she's so generic that she actually was in Smartphone to tomo ni a few years back, but I dig sword girls. And last season we had quite some shows that surprised me, who knows.


You do realize that the word generic pretty much means common and nope, those characters are a lot, but definitely not common people. I was also rather making fun of the fact that this series is trying to be different with such an approach.


Are we talking common in OUR world (as anime chars) or in their world?
Because yes, in their world they sure are exceptional, thats the hook of the story, but looking at anime in general... If you want to, I can probably make a complation of anime characters from the last season, who pretty much are the same as our 7 friends here. The only stretch is that merchant guy, because, well, thats not something anime focusses all that much on.
And yes, I get that you were making fun of the fact ^^

Oh, just noticed, the aproach is really similar to last seasons Nakanohito thingy, if you watched that. 7 superkids from their respective fields. Why always 7 though... (I know its a stylistic choice, no need to tell me)

Speaking in general here, since they're not just the exception in their own world. Personally I haven't seen another isekai with a similar cast and if there's one that still doesn't make the idea itself standard fare. It also depends on how you want to apply the word generic here, in regards to their social standing or in terms of execution/presentation, I was aiming for the former. But I don't think that arguing about semantics will bring us to a worthwhile outcome here.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I can’t guarantee if you’ll enjoy the rest of the episodes though it does get better and develops a good story, but the reason on how the main character becomes Prime Minister actually means sense

Is this 1st time you watch anime ?

We have see many anime that has school kids who do adult stuff. Liking fighting war. Becoming generals or world leader (like code geass). Noting knew about that.

The kiss scene was great and erotic

That was so bad its actually fun.
It was so cliche, it made no sense, and handwaves after handwaves... over the top... I can break down how every scene made no sense but that is just too much.
Only thing that was done correctly was their prioritization of learning about this world and trying to go home.

It had such a good premise. All wasted by someone that knows nothing about the subject at hand. Science, medicine, politics, economy have such nuance and could be used to great effect on revolutionizing another world. It is a interesting premise botched by poor execution.

I am having facepalms strarting from cast introduction. Ok, I could buy a prodigy inventor, prodigy doctor - well, ok, a swordsman that cuts bullets? A ninja-journalist? If it was a cast for some over-the-top comedy - it could pass for me, but it is all shown with a straight face. Next - feeding scene - like really, did author had an urge to insert some fanservice from the start? Mini nuclear reactor that survives plane crush - very funny. If it was some kind of futuristic world they isekaid from - ok, but they showed AK in that fight scene with swordsman. And politician dude also has martial skills to throw a fully armed man, how convenient. What is even going on, why did author need to do those GREAT CHARACTERS when he can't even make them a passible background? It feels like another cheat magician or smartphone isekai.


My thoughts exactly. The first scenes with the big boob'd elf girls already made me facepalm because jfc can this be more of a stereotype... I was twitching during the character intros, and then it went into outright cringefest. I'm having a hard time comprehending how this trash sells in Japan - isekai in and of itself need not necessarily be bad, but these pure garbage versions tarnish the entire genre very well and very easily. The whole thing is just Bad.

wow, starting off with an airplane crash into another world.

this description is reminding of the beginning part of danganronpa, what with all the "Ultimates".

she brought a sword to a gun fight... and won

*slams the shota r34 button* "ya sure he's in high school?"

oh, a girl ninja descended from Sarutobi... rip the original, Sarutobi Ecchan (Thanks to ErynCerise for introducing me to that). Oh, but she's a journalist! Nice twist.

aaand a boy with heterochromia. gotta make some for the lesser-known kinks. I'm joking, I swear it would be hard to show that in a dj anyway

"There are seven, including you" I hope that means it was an auto-piloted plane... and him moving his arm showed that there are nipple lines when she's leaning down forward like that.

aaand cue the mouth-to-mouth food transfer.

ah, they pierced the aspect of the language barrier!

aand he said it

pfft, the Magic-Shota is the one in shock, huh?

whelp, had to have a conflict somehow. I'm guessing the journalist is probably used to lots of research.

"mini nuclear reactor" Oh yeah, that's totally just something you should mention offhandly! Yikes

ok, nvm WInona's son being the conflict, fuck those soldiers.

damn, Akatsuki is actually pretty good. Sorry I called him the Magic Shota. I will be searching for him however...

not quite what I imagined from the trailer (which was much worse)

still haven't seen much of the ultimate nurse, tho... oh, and is that another half/rival of our main MC in the song that looks like it'll be the OP in the future?

i guess the small red beastman joins them, then. so both child baits are covered

this looks like it's just gonna be some dumb fun though! probably gonna watch some more

They just met and elf girl is kissing ML.

I came into this with reservations, I was thinking the cast was going to be unlikable snobbish elites but they are actually cool. I didn't even know who the studio was but the first millisecond I laid eyes on Riruru I knew it was the same people who made Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?

The concept is good on paper! I would be very excited about this show if I thought that it could live up to the concept but I don't believe it will. I expect a lot of random fanservice and harem. I also expect that the show may fail to develop the characters properly. I am generally going into this show with a very negative outlook hoping to be pleasantly surprised as the episodes progress.
As for the first episode, it was just okay, nothing to sing odes about.

1/ 5 vs 5/5 for the 1st episode. It do seems many have mixed reaction on its 1st episode. Well we do have OP characters but this time its not the usual one character only that has all the skills as this time they have different skills per character. So lets see what will happen on next episode.

Ohh please i hope it will not be as generic as ISEKAI CHEAT MAGICIAN

I get your point and what you said was actually kinda funny but I read some of the manga and a bit later on (probably next episode) it’s revealed that the only reason why he became Prime Minister was because his father was the Prime Minister and he discovered that his dad was doing awful things to the country without nobody knowing so he had his father arrested then killed for his crimes so then the son had to take over in his place

Isekai No.4, and it's Project No.9 with their 1st isekai anime, AND THERE'S A SECOND ONE ON THE WAY NEXT WEEK. We're really breaking new records aren't we.

7 prodigies in another world, written by the novelist of Rakudai Kishi no Calvary. Hopefully this'll be decent at least. And all are high school high-flyer students in their areas of expertise.

To the 7, getting accustomed is as simple as 1,2,3. Friends, foes, they all take the cake.

Will Fall 2019 be the season where NOT ONE Isekai anime really suck hard? That's seems the case for me...

To be fair, if you had nuclear reactor in plane then you would do everything in your power to prevent reactor from being damaged during crush.
So if you are buying having nuclear reactor in plane in the first place then this situation shouldn't be surprising.

Well this isn't new concept https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_aircraft

in 2011 Fukushima was struck by tsunami which led to a relatively small damage in which only one person died. It all depends on how many stages this reactor has and what kind of fuel it use.
