I didnt expect much but at least had some hope that would be at least around average or slightly above and i was right...

It will give you a couple laughs here and there but nothing more than that
While Isekai Ojisan offers a unique twist on the isekai genre, its reliance on humor and character interactions over action or world-building may not be for everyone. The pacing can feel slow at times, and the focus on comedy and slice-of-life elements might not hold the interest of seeking a more dynamic or action-packed story. Although the dynamic between Ojisan and Takafumi adds some
charm, the series lacks ... the depth and excitement many expect from an isekai, making it an enjoyable but ultimately average experience.

A solid 6/10, worth watching if you’re a fan of laid-back humor, but not a standout in the genre.

This will be my longest yet review so buckle up!

The early arcs show some potential with interesting villains and high-stakes battles, but as the series progresses, the plot tends to meander. The villains, while charismatic in design, often lack the depth needed to make their confrontations with Kenshin feel truly consequential. Several of the later arcs seem like a rehash of earlier material, relying on formulaic tropes rather than pushing the narrative forward or introducing more meaningful conflict.

Characters: Shallow Yet Familiar

Kenshin, the central character, is one of anime’s most iconic "tragic heroes," but his personality is far from complex. His constant internal struggle between his ... vow not to kill and his need to protect the innocent is an intriguing concept, yet it becomes repetitive. His character arc—while grounded in redemption—is frustratingly static for much of the series. Kenshin's decisions often feel predictable, as his sense of righteousness overshadows any real growth.

The supporting cast, while colorful, are not much better. Kaoru, the headstrong dojo master, is a familiar anime archetype—a spirited but emotionally volatile woman who exists mostly to serve as Kenshin's emotional anchor. The side characters like Saito, Yahiko, and Megumi are often reduced to caricatures or plot devices, lacking the depth that would make them truly memorable. Their relationships with Kenshin are predictable, and while they do add moments of levity, the overall character dynamics feel one-dimensional at times.

Conclusion:

When it comes to the animation, Rurouni Kenshin is competent but rarely exceptional. The fight scenes, which should be the highlight of any action-oriented anime, are serviceable, though they often feel repetitive. The animation quality dips noticeably in the latter half of the series, particularly in some of the less action-heavy episodes, where characters are poorly drawn and backgrounds look generic. The lack of fluidity in certain battle sequences detracts from the intensity that the show is supposed to deliver.

The premise of this anime looked really good and gave me hopes that this might be "IT" to watch and enjoy it fully. But although the plan looked good, it was kinda poorly executed.
The characters never really seemed to develop from what they are and that is bad news for anime that is 25 eps... i mean it would be ok for me for they to stay the same if it was 12 eps but not acceptable for 25 ep anime.
Also if you think oh its anime about a legendary pro hitman and crime and its going to have some hot action packed and stacked.... ... well think again it has only the bare minimum.
And dont even bother with the "comedy" and "suspense" genres. i mean there is almost no comedy, at least i didnt find it funny, interesting? perhaps but not funny to make you laugh, and nothing suspenseful in this anime, since we all know how things will end every time after the first thing that happens.

In general this is an anime that had great potential but squandered it and honestly i cant fully recommend it although it is not bad, its nothing special, its interesting enough to fill your time if you dont have anything to do or any better anime to watch, but i cant say its a must watch sadly.

Hello there... First let me say i have read few reviews about this anime how its nasty and its people trying to normalize loli and some f-ed up other stuff, and kinda made me scibitty scoob pap pap around it if you know what i mean.
But after exhausting my other anime on my list i decided to watch it, thinking "eh at least lets see how bad can it get".

So this anime is not bad by any means and i kinda see where people can get the idea that its like trying to normalize weird things, but i think its mostly blown up out of ... proportion after finishing this anime. It has feelings and meaning behind it and its a little more unique than the most classic fantasy isekai...

But thats kinda where it ends, yes its not some fantasy world its same world and its showbiz its not slaying monsters and so on, BUT there is not much shown here in the sense of action or even mystery and so on. Its very simple, so people that like simple things i do recommend this anime, it for sure good enough to fill in your time, and its not boring to watch it, but for people expecting some mystery and solving it or some action at least from time to time, that wont happen, so id advise you to look for something else.

Overall its mostly the freshness in isekai that made me gave it a solid rating, and also the animation is good and it can make you feel once or twice so so there's that.

When you read Synopsis you might think this might be an awesome anime if you into action and fantasy, well.... you might be wrong and right, let me quickly say why.

The animation style is really kind weird compared to other mainstream anime, so that can put you off, as it did for me at the start, but as i watched it i got used to it, so it didnt bother me later on (although i still dont like it).

So if you can get pass that then this anime isnt that bad actually, it has action, erotic characters(a bit fucked up and i didnt like that ... part) and some questionable things going on if that intrigues you...
The part that made it a bit different from other anime is that the "good" guys are just op compared to the bad ones and they just whoop their ass easy, no random fake struggling and then they win in the end, and that made me like it.
But the saddest part is that it ends unfinished and i doubt it will ever get the end it needs.

So in the end its not a must watch anime by any means but it can be good for a lot of people.

Honestly i didnt think this anime would amount to much, but after a year or so seeing such high rating i decided to give it a try finally.... and oh boy i got exactly what i thought it would be... an average anime with no major "feels" moments, no action basically no anything in particular...

I have no idea how this anime got so high ratings, its not really a comedy since there is nothing funny there like not even basic jokes or basic funny moment attempts, the drama starts decent, you think it will develop more, but nope stays on that level and slowly fades ... away near the end...
The adventure isnt much of an adventure as well, i mean this anime had potential especially for the antartic part but ironically even though that was the whole point of this anime it showed there even less than when they were home.

Overall disappointing anime, only watch it if you got nothing else to do, then its good for killing time, or if you want a bit of cozy/comfy atmosphere...

6/10

Honestly when i saw this anime i thought it had a potential, i mean come on detectives, mysteries, lots of money and gadgets, super technology, whats not to like right ?
Well... the whole story was kinda lackluster no real mystery, you can tell from start pretty much whats going to happen, some of the things are unexplained and kinda ruin the emersion. Also no real action going on.
Anyway if you think this anime will blow you away, with any genre aspect, it probably wont, Overall its meh, if you are bored and got nothing else to watch this is not bad. Otherwise put priority on ... some other anime.

Well there is a lot to say here but if you want a long anime that will manage to keep you interested all the way, then this is for you.

if you want good story with adrenaline moments and epic fights dont even finish reading this review just start watching it already what are you waiting for !

It is not action packed all the time even though it has epic fights so dont mistaken that but nevertheless it is very good combined on the action part with breakdowns in between and it also has its own feel moments, so its a good mix of almost everything ... you would want in a action/adventure/martial arts anime.

So overall if you dont mind that it has fillers for a few episodes, few times in the anime then you should give it a try for sure, it wont disappoint you
