Don't be fooled by the sub-8* rating.. this anime is one of the best comedies ever aired so far.

Funny and interesting characters that actually HAVE a character (every..single..one..), plot that actually makes sense and goes on, and clean animations & narrative. The art in the manga is already good and the animation & sound teams did a great job bringing it to life!

I can't recommend it enough to both adults and teens -- enjoy watching 😁


(this is where I wanted to stop my review but apparently I gotta go on.. If you're not convinced yet feel free to keep reading :p)


The story itself is a ... unique twist of the standard high school comedy genre, with a good level of involvement from the Isekai genre, in which the main drive is our protagonist being some sort of 'impostor' and trying to avoid being exposed as a human.
I'm no fan of Isekai anime in general but I usually fancy anime that have a school-setup focus, because I believe that gives the most freedom to the creator's imagination to go wild.. and WILD it is for this particular one.

As for sticking to reality, the creator chooses the easy way out of certain stuff that 'trouble' the MC quite a few times, but I appreciate that as it lets the COMEDY aspect be the main focus of the anime.

WHY
IS
THIS
SO
GOOD!?!!!!

Simple, great writing, great art, great characters, great sound.
Was super happy to find an anime I could rate 10 after years :)

Writing and character seem to be superb compared to what's usually airing.
... Art and animation was not super special still on a very satisfying level.
Sound was extremely well polished and even played a heavy part on overall enjoyment. The staff that worked on sound must feel very proud (as they should)!

It had me experience a variety of feelings and moods, and had me enjoying every single second.

I highly recommend this masterpiece to everyone, and I hope there'll be more to come :)

This is my first review but the ratings REALLY displease me.
Please excuse my ranting ^^
--no spoilers--

Pre-review Ranting: [This anime just messes with the anime rating standard. I dropped it multiple times and had to watch the last few episodes recently in order to catch up with "Season 2"(which sadly follows the same drill).
I seperated the ranting from the review, so feel free to only read the review :)]

General Review: [The story and the art aren't bad, and the characters are actually interesting, but the pace the anime is progressing, especially while in matches, is really annoying.. The main character is hardly considered the ... protagonist, though he is clearly special, for an unclear(?) reason. The (writing-)reasoning behind "why things happened the way they did" are so bad that I sometimes felt that the writer was insulting my intelligence. It also had it's moments, though; moving certain emotions and funny moments.]

Reasoning + Ranting: [The manga indeed has a lot of pages without dialogues, but that's alright because u can catch on what's going on pretty quick and move on, and in my opinion this is alright for a sports manga(although the writing is still terrible). The makers of the anime just took those icons and animated them for, like, ages. I'm actually surprised it has such high ratings, but i suppose it was aimed on a YOUNGER audience(I'm 22 and started watching this anime when i was 20).]

Conclusion: [If you value your time I suggest you skip this anime, or watch in 3x speed or something, or even read the manga, as the story is actually interesting.]
PS Note: My low rating on animation doesn't mean that the animations are bad, just badly executed in my opinion.
