Reviewing both seasons together:
You probably know someone who has impressive thoughts but struggles to articulate them clearly. They start saying something profound, but it comes out as one or two disconnected sentences that only make sense if you already know what they’re thinking. This anime is the equivalent of that person.
There’s clearly a much larger world and deeper story beneath the 24 episodes shown. Instead of offering a brief world map and political overview—which would’ve helped a lot—it jumps straight into political action and somewhat loose character introductions. It skips over essential background knowledge while, at times, going into unnecessary detail about less important plot

This anime wasn’t exactly what I expected—but in the best way. I thought it would be a typical comedy mixed with some light power fantasy, nothing too exciting. Instead, it turned out to be fast-paced, over-the-top, and genuinely exciting, all without falling into typical power fantasy tropes. I binged the whole thing and now I can’t wait for the next season.
In a lot of shows, things go wrong for the MC in ways that feel forced, or annoying side characters are used to create cheap drama or comedy. But here, none of the characters felt redundant or irritating—in fact, I liked most of them. If the ... Apr 3, 2025
This anime features one of the most realistic magic systems I’ve seen. If a world existed with magic while following physics similar to ours, its magic would likely resemble what’s shown here.
However, despite this great concept, the execution, story, and production value are rather average. The characters don’t leave much of an impression, the plot is decent but lacks depth, the animation is unremarkable, and the humor falls flat. There was so much untapped potential, and I hope season two makes up for it. While my rating isn’t high, I still recommend watching it for the unique and somewhat (but not enought) ... Mar 28, 2025

I planned to watch just one episode during lunch yesterday and ended up binging the whole thing...
While the premise is similar to other otome and non-otome isekais, the execution is refreshingly original. The MC is a 52-year-old civil servant, a former and current otaku, and—most importantly—a loving husband and father. This matters because the anime subtly teaches life lessons that you’d normally only hear from a happy and experienced parent. It almost feels like someone like that was involved in the writing. But don’t get me wrong—this isn’t some preachy, lesson-driven anime. It’s just a welcome part of the story. The anime ... Mar 27, 2025

I almost dropped this anime, but I was exhausted and just wanted something simple, lighthearted, and easy to follow—and that’s exactly what this anime delivers.
The MC is an extreme introvert, but not socially anxious—two traits that don’t always go hand in hand. Many frustrating situations could have been avoided if he had more communication experience, but even more could have been prevented if he and the people around him just used basic logic. His maxed-out Luck stat is supposed to justify the plot armor, but a lot of things still don’t make sense. This anime feels like the result of a somewhat ... Mar 26, 2025
As others have pointed out, this anime has some similarities to "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom", but it still feels unique. Aside from a few unnecessary clichés, nothing seems directly copied—at least from other anime; I can't speak for the manga.
Like "Realist Hero", some of the challenges were fairly obvious, but Uchimura managed to solve them faster and with less information. He successfully applied real-world business strategies, which, being more advanced than those of a medieval fantasy world, helped him improve the country and its surroundings. While I rated "Realist Hero" an 8/10 (rounded up from 7.5), this anime barely ... Mar 19, 2025
Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsushi?

A very plain isekai with low production value and somewhat shallow characters, yet still worth a watch.
The art and animation are at most average, the voice acting is fine, and there is not much of a story—but the plot is at least somewhat unique. Unlike many recent low-budget isekai, it doesn’t feel entirely copy-pasted. While it does use some clichés, they don’t stand out too much. It is weird however how an almost 40y old guy who got reincarnated into a 17y old body acts like a 15y old in front of the girls. Overall, it’s a mediocre anime, but it’s easy, relaxing and ...

This is probably the best 7/10 anime I’ve watched. Not because it barely missed being rounded up to an 8 with a 7.49, but because it did many things very well, but somehow remained a solid 7/10. The anime has great visuals, a strong soundtrack, good world-building, a decent plot, and likeable characters. The MC isn’t overpowered, but his intelligence, wisdom, and experience shine as he quickly—yet realistically—adapts to the cyberpunk setting.
Unlike traditional "demon lord fantasies," he doesn’t rise to power through nepotism or sheer strength alone but by using his abilities strategically. This would make it seem like the anime deserves an ... Dec 5, 2024

This anime had potential, and I can see why some people might enjoy it, but it didn’t work for me.
The MC is actually well-written—he’s not perfect, but he’s compelling and has depth without being a flat, overpowered character. That said, the "joking" sibling romance subplot, driven by the sister, is straight-up gross and awkward to sit through. It’s not funny, it’s not charming, and it actively drags down the experience. The pacing is another big problem. It’s already slow for something billed as an action sci-fi, with not nearly enough actual action, and those uncomfortable "rom-com" scenes only make it worse. I usually enjoy detailed explanations in ... Nov 26, 2024
I keep it short and simple, as I am sick.
Don`t really understand the hate for the anime. It is mediocre and just a bit bland, but there is not much to make people hate it. The story and mc are decent (but nothing innovative), but the execution is lacking. Relationships develop fast, so it feels rushed, but somehow the makers still put a bit too many common cliches inside. For a non-harem anime it feels a bit too "haremy", but at least there is some logic behind it. It is a simple and somewhat entertaining anime that you can watch with your brain turned off. |
