In my opinion first Episode was really great. The visuals, animation, story, music, etc all were really good. I guess it will definitely be one of the best Fantasy anime in 2023 if they maintained this quality and story don't go downhill

Yet another rip-off of Solo Levelling but without the good and most of the bad. The story is currently bland, not much world building or interesting characters introduced so far. The MC's transformation and ability is a carbon copy of the first ten chapters of solo levelling, and I mean you could read this and watch this episode and think its the same story with a poorly done anime adaptation.

it will become even more cringe especially the mall scene where he meets the female model there will be a big ass cringe scene with cheap drama and 3 rate villain lines

The animation was a little weird and stiff in some places, but I like the art style a little. The music is also good. Too soon to tell anything about the story, but so far it's alright.

HAHAHA, another "Mary Jane" anime, where protagonist doesn`t need to do much to get to top level. First word to describe this is " convenient"! The artwork is beautiful and I am a sucker for isekai/gaming anime, so going to watch it all.

The most obvious, unapologetic, loser MC power fantasy that I have seen in a LONG time. Did give me Lookism vibes, but at least in that one he had a loving Mother lol... It really went the extra mile to make him look like a waste of space.

I do enjoy power fantasy if it's executed well enough and not boring. Decent start.

it's been ONE episode. And considering that it was pretty good. And btw this trend of acquiring skills and leveling up is seen through the power fantasy genre. This setting existed way before solo leveling. Even tho solo leveling was pretty good, it ripped off what already existed and it turned out really good

Really disliked the first episode, mainly because of the normally of bullying, the MC then being physically chnged to meet everyone else's beauty standards, and how contrived the rest of the episode went from there. Hopefully the rest of the show is better.

Haha, thank you!

Apart from being over-the-top cliche and somewhat simplistic: MC has been bullied throughout his life for being fat (read: not meeting certain social expectations). Solution? Just turn him into a wiry-ripped über hunk, yea! If this doesn't tell you that conforming to the norm is king. Maaan, it's so wonderfully Japanese ...

(I'm sure there will be a deeper lesson later on.)

Didn't he have his uniform changed BECAUSE of his transformation (or did I dream that?) only to be surprised AFTERWARDS?! Mirror broken or not, he fucking took measurements, right? It was so weird.

I like isekai. However, there's a few things I noticed about this series from 1 ep.

-has hentai looking visual
-modern workd plot copied from Lookism's bully and perfect body thing
-fantasy world traveling from Saving 80k gold coins.
-MC (before) never lose weight even though he works and go to school. The heck, did he even tried or is he cursed by gods. 💀
-MC (after): how to get abs in 24hrs.



Edit Update on 4/6/23: I actually found the damn answer. It was the same creator all along. Same big boy with transformation little to no little work put in losing his own weights. Yes, they both were bullied. The new one doesn't have the gorilla though.

this part imidiately made my question the quality of this anime. Even blind person would notice it's pwn body change, and he can't?
I will try episode or two more, but I think it's a skip for me

My impression, they skipped quite a bit from the manga.

Episode 1 is up to like chapter 5  in the manga, but is missing the other-worthy stuff, they only showed the MC point of view stuff.

They missed the part where MC rescued a child that was going to be flattened by a motorcycle after he came back from the other world, and the part where he banged his head, because he grew taller.
In the anime there was a comment from one of the girls admirers saying "whoa his legs are so long" in reference to that missing part that was not shown.

This is a good humor anime because of how ridiculous everything is so it will be super entertaining, my only complaint is that I will have to wait for episodes weekly instead of them dropping the entire season since I prefer to binge animes rather than trickle watch them.

I am amused this crap was ever printed or animated. Terrible. Absolutely no efforts, "best in class" abilities, weapons, clothes, food, skills, infinite money, full body replacement. Out of nowhere, for no reasons. Never seen anything quite so lazy and pointless. They only forgot to make him shit gold.

MC was surviving on ramen cups doing part time jobs. That's how he become fat as pig. Horrible parents overfed him out of malice, I guess. There is no way to get fit without magic. And when he suddenly become ripped and higher by two heads - he had no idea because there is no mirror and without a mirror there is absolutely no way he can look at his belly.

From creator of Shinka no Mi, another pile of steaming ****.

My first impression was "why this looks like the director doesn't know how to do shit?" and then I saw the horrible artwork and the stiff animation. I had to rewind some scenes just to see if my eyes weren't fooling me in how bad it looked like. The plot doesn't help it at all since it just stupidly generic, and it looks even worse because it not only makes him OP in the isekai but also in the real world.

I'm just watching it because there aren't many times where you can see something so bad, this seriously might take Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni S2 title as worst anime of the season and even of the year.

Surprisingly not bad. It has several key isekai tropes that I'm not a fan of (bypassing the language barrier, OP character, etc.) but the visuals are really good and there is potential for quality later on. Most excited to meet the rest of the main cast.

But I Heard People Say It's Good And Saw The Cast For It And Decided To Check It Out And I Really liked It, I Really Like The Animation And The Double Life Aspect Of It...It's A Fresh New Take And I Really Like It, Excited To See The Adventures He Goes On As He Coexists In Both These Worlds

Men why do people instantly think of solo leveling when seeing an anime with a leveling system like there were a lot of animes before solo leveling with leveling system as well. Like I get it solo leveling is good and all but still it wasn´t the first of its kind.

Yeah, will this be the same trope as other isekai? No language learning, max level with no/little effort... the leveling system has no fault, but this way of using that is boring.

bad because it feels like we're watching a streamer who's playing a game for the first time, but has bought the "quick start" pack.

Like, why is every weapon "unbreakabe and cuts through everything". What's the point of the weapon distinctions?

So character is ugly, fat, self conscious, but good at heart and brave enough to stand up for others, if not himself. I can get behind that but am disappointed that he get's good looking. I kind of think it cheapens things for the push over being bullied for being ugly to have his bad life fixed by becoming good looking. They don't exactly show his life being fixed. The bullies are confronting him, along with his shitty family members. But pretty girl he saves while ugly is there and if she become his love interest after he got good looking it takes a lot away from the potential story. I think stories like Accel World, Ore Monogatari, and Isekai Ojisan have the right idea of making a pretty girl fall for a ugly guy despite him being ugly. 

With Accel World the girl is interested in his ability in a game world so she doesn't care what he looks like in this one. Not really sure if that is good or not. She is kind of unrealistic as a character and even though he is not famous for his skill it is similar in feeling to having a crush on a ugly celebrity because they are famous. He also has a small support system in his 2 best friends who are kind of attractive and dating each other making him a third wheel until he starts dating the pretty girl.

Ore Monogatari the girl is saved by the big ugly guy and finds herself attracted to him. Not sure if she has a fetish or not or if it really matters. He also has a really attractive male best friend that his crushes have been throwing themselves at. The rest of the series is about other people getting past their prejudices and ether falling for ugly guy or atleast understanding how she could find him attractive. Fun series and did a good job.

Isekai Ojisan is kind of like the later half of Ore Monogatari with women falling for the ugly guy or at least respecting him, but he is too dense and obsessed with his own interests to care about or even understand their feelings. It is also fun and does well but the uncle's single mindedness and obliviousness make him feel more "Ace"(Asexual) or "Incel"(Involuntarily Celibate) because of his treatment of the women in his life, it gives the impression that either doesn't care about women or hates pretty women because he feels scorned by them.

Fruit of Evolution did the ugly guy become hot and gets the girls, but it is not really a good anime and has a lot of problems. Hopefully the rest of the series doesn't follow that one's example.

Remembered another ugly protagonist one Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy. Like Ojisan he is so ugly in a world full of pretty people that he gets treated as a monster and this one seems to have non-human women falling for him and taking on human forms like Fruit of Evolution, but not because he is nice or anything to do with the right reasons to be with someone. Instead it is because he is strong. I am glad this one chose to not make the character get attractive but it still it would be nice if the protag got someone who likes him for him.

First episode opinion: amazing.

Like, I came into this thinking, Guy is gonna go to another world and come back. Did not foresee that it would have a whole character transformation thing like Fruit of Evolution.

Totally satisfied having this series right after Eminence, the two would have clashed hard if they were in the same season.

This is 100% anime of the year right here!

Its like taking every trope that is terrible about isekais (unexplained video game mechanics, arbitrary numbers for stats, being able to backtrack and go between worlds, becoming OP with very little effort) boiling it down into a concentrated goop, and injecting it into your eyes! Its so garbage that it hurts!

But that is what's great about it! Even with all of this! and its probably going to get worse in the future, because it is well animated people are going to eat it up like candy and say that its good! its an acquired taste for sure but seeing something that is all terrible ideas put together to become the best idea? This is the kind of thing I live for!

FML, you literally said everything I said in my head watching the show. I was HOPING, it wouldn't be shit and kept thinking "I hope they make him earn his transformation and powers." Nope. Though I will still be watching this trash next week as well. I truly believe its going to be a shit spring season. Good thing I saved two shows from last season to fill in the crap days for this season.

Just wanted to highlight this quote that excellently illustrates my problem with these cookie cutter instant gratification wish fulfillment power fantasies. It’s even worse here because the streamer might be “playing for the story”, but in these types of shows the extent of the story IS the MC being overpowered and having everyone fawn over him.

I have to wonder what’s going on with Japan that so many of these keep getting churned out. Is it a backlash again the Japanese work ethic culture? Instead of working for success just have it handed to you on a silver platter along with your very own harem?

I don’t get how the mc of Tsukimichi is ugly tbh. I think he looks decent, just a bit short maybe but not ugly. Btw, I really want season 2 of that. I know it was announced but I wonder when it will release
