There’s nothing sweet about the show nor about his reincarnation.

Let's be honest, at first, we surely thought this anime would be that slice of life isekai, where the mc is making pastries and sweets in another world. Just like the "Parallel World Pharmacy" but with sweets and pastry, and with the MC opening a bakery or sweet shop. But sike! It's actually "How a realist hero rebuilt the Kingdom!"

While I don't hate the show for what it was, I can understand why others dislike it for this very reason. The actual story was relatively decent, but it seems to be diverging from its initial ... premise. After all, the show is called “Sweet Reincarnation” for a reason. We were expecting a cooking and baking show centered around pastries and sweets, not another politics and war isekai.

It's a slow burn show with an okayish pace. The worldbuilding is present, although it's a bit shallow in every aspect. Nevertheless, it's better than any other current or previous generic isekai. As we progress through the episodes, we get to learn more about the geopolitics, magic system, and war, all of those funsies details slowly build up.

Strangely, this anime reminds me a lot of “Ascendance of a Bookworm,” but it lacks the unique charm that Honzuki has. In Honzuki, the story is primarily focused on Myne/Main, the main protagonist, and we intimately follow her struggles and journey to make a single sheet of paper for her dream of becoming a librarian. However, in this anime, it seems like the story revolves more around the people surrounding Pastry, the main protagonist. While he faces similar struggles to Myne, every time he tries to pursue his passion, it's constantly hindered by others, whether it's his father, his friend, his brother in law, or unnecessary diplomacy with other fiefs. For God's sake, let him cook for a moment!

All that aside, yet it still lacks baking or making sweets. For a show called Sweet Reincarnation it's incredibly lacking on those thing. I swear I could probably count how many sweets he's made throughout the entire series with just one hand. All I want is just one episode dedicated to making pastry/sweets and with Pas as the main focus, no politics, only sweets and pastries. Maybe a second season would bring justice to this anime.

Anyway to sum it up, it's a fun show about a patissier that reincarnated in another world although slightly a bit lacking in the pastry/sweet department. If you are looking for a foodie show, this is not it. If you are looking for another generic isekai that is slightly better than the others, this would be perfect for you.

Maybe the real sweets were the friends that he made along the way. Seriously, his fiancee's name is Licorice.

Tensei Kizoku, I expected less from a generic isekai of this season. The plot, as may you expect are very generic and simple. Basically, the whole premise goes like this; Cain did OP thing, everyone is surprised, the girls simp for him, he gets scolded by the king, repeat. Honestly? I felt sorry for him being reincarnated in such environment lol. Its true that the pacing in this Anime is kinda weird everything seems in the rapid phase like you move from one scene to another very fast.

One thing that I want to point out about this Anime, than any other trashy isekai this season, ... is its so entertaining. No matter how bad the story is, but watching Cain doing OP thing is surprisingly fun to watch. The story is very light, and there's might be a virtue about it. It may be boring for some because there was like zero engagement in the story but you know why you keep watching, not for the plot, but for some reason, its so damn entertaining.

Story : Meh | 3/10
Characters : Eh... | 5/10
Animation : Could've been better | 6/10
Is it trash? : Yes | 10/10
Fun to watch? : For a trashy panda like me yes, its fun to watch, but its depend on you | 8/10

And for that I gave Tensei Kizoku a 5/10. Not great, not terrible.

"It's so bad that it's good" is probably the best way to describe this isekai. I feel like I've been trolled by this show. At first, I thought, "There's no way this CGI can be any worse than this," and then I watched episode 4. I felt defeated. There's no way they didn't do this on purpose. It has to be intentional. The studio has to be on some kind of drug to have produced such a masterpiece like this. They know they can do good CGI when they want to, its proven by episode 4 that they can do a good CGI. CGI aside, ... the comedy is basically a shitposting and a good one at it. Other than that, the mc basically has no any OP ability well ofc except that loli god.


TL;DR: It's a shitposting in anime form.

"Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu" is a fun isekai anime that is perfect to watch during your free time. The story is lighthearted and entertaining, making it easy to follow. Unlike most isekai shows, Mitsuha Yamano is not trapped in the isekai world but can move easily between the different worlds. Realized by her unique ability, she started to "money laundering" (I dunno the correct term but she basically discovered the money glitch) by selling normal items to the isekai world.

The issues I had with the anime are the pacing is somewhat weird especially between episode 9-10 which escalated very ... quickly and the bgm somewhat being cut off suddenly like huh.. it just ended like that. However, it is still an enjoyable experience to watch as there are plenty of funny scenes here and there throughout the anime.

"Ascendance of a Bookworm" isn't your typical isekai anime. Unlike other shows in the genre, there are no demons or monsters to be killed here. Instead, it's a wonderful journey of a bookworm who's reincarnated in a world without books. The protagonist is Myne a sickly young girl live in poverty. She was originally Urano Motosu, a librarian in her past life and her only purpose now is to be able to read books once again. However, her journey is far from easy due to the limitations of the world that she's in, and it seems like the whole world is against her in her ... pursuit of reading books. With the knowledge of previous life, Myne was able to bring several "new" inventions to this new world.

One of the best things about this anime is its worldbuilding, as we get to see how Myne's knowledges of her previous life have an impact on her surroundings as each episodes progressed. However, I have to admit it was a slow-burn anime but if you love this kinds of thing then you will love it.
