Welp, this show definitely has the isekai tropes with the fantasy world, monsters, knights, etc. It actually took on a serious and dramatic approach at first despite how it was advertised.

Setsu seems like the guy with a slight ego but that "fight" was ridiculous. A slap on the ass? Lol, and Eruka's reaction was even more ridiculous. I swear, this anime has some sort of fetish. This anime adaptation also felt like a dialed down version compared to the manga. But whatever, I didn't expect that much.

From the studio that brought you the abysmal Summer 2020 show Gibiate, comes the typical Isekai that's like Arifureta in every other way.

For Suzaki "Yuki" Setsu, the Isekai theme has been his waiting game, and other than childhood friend Yuhi Hanabashira, his class arriving in the Kingdom of Distinia wiith no know-how, this is the typical Isekai trope of lending aid in being a trial of danger, trained under Elka and Glein. And between Setsu and Elka, all it takes is a literate slap on the ass to remember that she's his servant that's full of masochism. Along with the potion maker Thea, Setsu is back for a 2nd time, while the war with the demons didn't end as he hoped.

The 2nd time around, Isekai-ed back to the same world, and what was supposed to be Setsu's free-roaming peace, has once been disrupted by the Demon King Toma, and war has struck out again, so it's time to eradicate the source once again, even if it's Toma back at it again. The retrieval of Setsu's magic sword Kuromaru (effectively making him a Kirito wannabe with Guts's sword), and though this is his 2nd clearance, bringing Yuhi along will result in her being deadweight, so other than a slight haircut from teh childhood friend, he's off to meet the old acquaintance.

Kind of a decent start, just like any subpar Isekai.

Damn this was actually really good. It’s INSANE to think this is from the same studio as Gibiate. Production quality is in a different plane of existence.

Could be the isekai sleeper of the season. Gave off heavy Arifureta vibes. But with the unique twist of this being his second time in the world. I was a little confused tho when the MC mentioned being reborn on earth with his memories after he disappeared from that world so was he originally from a different world?

Looking forward to next week.

This guy travel to isekai more than I travel to foreign country.
But look carefully, this guy has different background from other heroes of the same genre, he was here once, but he was sent back, not to his old world, but to another world, and was sent back here again.
But I still don't see how his different background will contribute to the story, when other elements seem 'isekai business as usual' to me.

A nice and interesting start, Eruka seems the Lalatina (Darkness) type of girl-knight... XD but more useful.
Nothing super-original but I liked the variation in the summoned trope, good vibes and good animation.

LMAO this trash anime is censored as hell.

They completely censored the spanking scene, as in the manga her complete ass was bare and we could actually see the spanking and she also wasn't wearing spats.

Holy shit is this shit censored beyond recognition.

Nah this anime won't get a dime from me, gonna skip figurine and merchandise and gonna answer with my wallet lol.

Yikes, I want to hate this but for the love of isekai, I can't. The pace feel awkward and stilted, but the backgrounds are lush and gorgeous. It looks cool. It's trashy, tropey, and I'll be back for more, but it doesn't feel top-tier.

Not the worst start for an isekai, I can appreciate that the MC radiates more personality than his peers.

interesting premise, but...gonna wait until the next episode and see if my initial opinion about this change. but i have a feeling it's the king and his consort that are the bad guys here and the demons are just retaliating from something those humans did to make it look like the demons are the ones wanting a war.

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.

So the dude was summoned to another world, died, reincarnated into another world and then got summoned back to the previous world, wow. Was a typical isekai start but I like it and there are cute girls too so it's gonna be fun. Also Elka's personality switch was amusing.

I’m really looking forward to this series I wasn’t expecting the end of the episode to be chill no twists or anything like that just a easy to understand story that’s not too convoluted😄

9/10!!! Great animation and adaptation!!!
Watching this first episode made me reminisce about another quality adaptation like Mushoku Tensei and Slime, but this time, there's no crappy line like "This is like from a Light Novel where the MC is isekai" or something similar.

After reading the manga, I was actually persistent in my thoughts that the story is actually a bad one (since the fan-TL was a bad one or probably the pacing was?), but after watching this first-hand makes me think that this is probably more entertaining than I hoped it could be.

LN was completed a long time ago, I see, while the manga is still on-going. Looking at the database, the manga is the source rather than the LN. 👀👏

I have high hopes for this anime, I hope to see more of it!

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

It seems that it is fine, although it is the Isekai that does not innovate in anything, it may become entertaining.

I like that they will tell things quickly, I hope that this dynamic continues.

Due to the personality of the protagonist, it seems that he will not be the Kirito on duty, or at least that suggests that this already gives him positive points.

This message sort of contains spoilers for episode 1. I really hate how they didn’t respect the manga at all, that is what is supposed to give it a lot of personality, here are the changes that should be done to match:

1. They are summoned by the royal family, not “by unkowned means”, in the castle, not on a battle field

2) he is supposed to kick glein in the nuts to prove to him that he is Setsu

3) he didn’t disappear fighting Touma, he was forced back to earth by the human royals because after he made peace with the demons and beasts, the human royals find him too dangerous and forcefully send him back. Thus incurring the wrath of the other species who really loved him and getting them to start another war on the humans for Setsu’s sake. That is why setsu should also be enraged to find out the demons are attacking the humans and go out to make them stop. That should be the trope explained in the first episode and Touma is supposed to stay a mystery because Setsu hates to even mention him, so we come to know of him much later

4) they don’t have to sneak in to get kuromaru because they are with the frickin captain of the knights

5) he doesn’t just leave like that, normally he would force Elka to put on a gig and kick him out saying he is useless so that he can be free to leave

They are on their way to ruining a pretty decent isekai manga into a shit show. Like they did with Arifureta.
