Calling this a comedy would be the best joke in the entire show....
Story about OP MC that's only supposed to be OP alone, but the story does great job ignoring this fact completely, leading to the biggest disappointment at n1 :
Comedy - most of the "comedic situations" revolves around our OP MC being OP and casually clearing strong monsters, etc...with the punchline being his honestly nice and cute, but annoying and nosy class rep-friend giving him shit for doing anything mildly dangerous, or like any good mother, leaving house w/o permission or coming back late (yes those are real examples). And the OP MC able
...
to solo clear whole dungeon simply takes it and listens like a good boy cause he is...oh yes "not very good with social interaction". Which you might have guessed never happens or matters, unless a "joke" is needed.
Action - most of the fights are static, so action is almost non-existent
Char design - at least here I have nothing to complain about, everyone looks good and we have some
Over all I am kinda mad I didn't drop it when I wanted around ep 3-4. During that time I read someone's review here and for some reason forgot that fanboys exist. That person was begging readers of his review not to drop this sh..show and give it a chance. To give him the benefit of doubt it is possible that the sauce is good and with better budget, more episodes, or some miracle this would be decent show.
But as it is now, I don't believe this is worth anyone's time, even as a "eating show".

* Update, after 2 (6/13) more episodes, not much more happened and I dont think this is worth your time anymore *
...heard you missed KageJitsu. Good news, we have KageJitsu at home...its called "Whatever is this called"
Its not bad, obviously it being action comedy with goofy premise its not good either, but jokes are ok, girls are cute, mc isnt complete idiot and its not cringy (iirc).
IMO its a decent pick for watching while you eat so far, but who knows if its still the same at ep 7 im prolly out xDD
___
Not a spoiler: the last ep surprised me with how brutal that crazy
...
cute girl was in that verbal abuse she gave to our cute thic short-twin-tail girl and that MC didnt rly help that poor litt...ehm that much, but I get that hes scared of her too. And Ai did such a great job in that scene, as usually ^^
Still I need to see some character improvement and giving the pacing till now, I have my doubts - just an FYI

If you can stomach the naive MC (its not that bad tbh, he seems to have some idea) then I would suggest waiting if next season drops.
The audio-visual is great, and its not rly boring per se, it just have pacing of 20+ep anime. Sadly it only has 12ep right now and we got some proper action and villain intro just now at ep 9.
Hence the recommendation to wait for next season, unless you wanna see 4 action episodes, followed by cliff hanger and wait 2 years to continue.
Over all its pretty good and who did their homework and checked what else the author
...
made they probably know whats up.
Solid 7/10 where visual isnt just wasted on mid plot...well at least so far. I did not read the sauce and we will have to wait and see when and what comes in the future.

I am a sucker for revenge story, but the GCI rly hurts my eyes, but then the MC is competent...
Action 1/5
The action is lacking, theres basically none since all he does is say Paralyze and Poison.
Char design 3.5/5
Elf (elves) is cute, and goddess mommy is exactly that.
Animation 1/5
I cant give it 0 as its doable even for me who hates most CGI, so if you dont mind it you can give it a try
Story 2/5
Classic revenge story in isekai
...
We really entered an era of dumb protagonists when I am able to stomach this lvl of CGI. And I mean incompetent, not just stupid MCs. Naruto isnt very smart, but hes not incompetent, but so many MCs these days are, and this guy is not. I was ready to drop it at 3rd ep when he was still doin his Dexter thing about making sure he only kills rly bad guys. But for reasons of gettin used to killing or author just abandoning it, he stopped and just deals with hostile ppl right away.
Overall its not good or bad, just another one of those seasonal filler shows.
Oh ye, and theres some annoyingly squeaking slime. IDK why we are getting these lately like that rat in that Dungeon harem bad comedy with servats thats airing this season, but if you also get annoyed by someone jumping on dog toy to make a "cute" sound, be aware.

If I were to rate only episodes 1,2,7,8 this would be 8/10, but for some reason someone decided to throw away budget for another 4 (lower budget) episodes with filler. And the last episode went unreasonably hard on animation.
So you get 2 episodes of story, 4 episodes of shounen filler (training, zenitsu beying annoying af, ppls faces melting with emotions,..) and then you get over the top epic finale with insane amount of slow-mo flex.
This season could have easily be a movie or 4ep OVA and I would be happy, instead I dropped it half way thru and just now finished it, surprised it
...
actually had some end other than "Your training ends here MC".
TL:DR - watch 1,2,7,8 and skip the rest, you are welcome

Possibly the best into into this universe (no it doesnt matter, but all the stories of this author have very similar vibe).
So far the funniest, and most consistent story from the author.
I might be biased cause as much as I enjoy Lookism, the fact that drama/comedy/SoL/satire on society turned into handsome teen boys with questionable powers leading life and fighting said organized crime did not make me very happy.
This story on the other hand is very straightforward action comedy about a guy who curses his high school bully into reliving his high school days from the body of the loser.
The story starts as they both
...
occupy the same body, bully as a operator with loser as a "ghost" presence enjoying the torment. The main turn comes when someone who was a bully their whole life just wont take no shit from anyone, even his younger self, who he hilariously glorifies and praises all the time as handsome, cool and strong even at this age, and starts to work out and fight back with skills he got in the future as he still practiced martial arts his whole life. This gives an interesting point of view on the while bullying issue which I wont spoil.
Side characters are great, specially the FMC who is a sucker for strong guys and he special skill "Makeup removing slap" left me in stitches for a long time.

Animation 7, Story 9, Chars 9, Char design 7 (matches the manhwa more, so Rachel finally looks on the outside as on the inside, S1 Rachel was too cute for what she is)
FFS EDIT: One think I notice is ppl seem to not realize that this lvl of animation would be probably the top we would get if this show should continue to air. S1 was the classic sauce ad, while S2 is what 1000ep sauce "shounen" adaptation could look like at best IMO.
Not everything is JK or KnY to be carried by stellar animation. Yall too spoiled brats! xDD
Yes its less unique than
...
S1, but if it means we get to get S3 and more, I am more than happy with it so give it a try for yourself, make your own opinion. The story will pick up...not like S1 was crazy filled with action, not to mention story depth which we didnt even scratch the surface.
For adaptation of sauce with 600+ chapters, following multiple "main" characters sometimes for multiple chapters, diving deep in backstories of side characters that will die in a moment, so much it made me take a break 2 or 3 times already (looking at you War of talks and Cat games) this is still good show and also much better than 80% of current season.
For this show to shine it would need continuous releases like major shounen titles like Narutardo and Wan piss. But I am afraid we wont get it when I am reading reviews of ppl here...

"Beautiful girls and almost useless boy" - 6/10, Animation 7, Char design 9, Story ???
Since I did not enjoy my time, like @XG_OG promised, in his bold prediction about 9 upcoming episodes... I wanna warn you all! xD
Given the authors other works from which I only watched part of one before getting bored, I expected pretty much what I got so far...an interesting mysterious story, thats mainly focused on the MMC+FMC relationship with some action.
I just dont like the exeution:
Char design/animation is pretty good, there is plenty of action and over all the show will probably not offend less critical or experienced consumer.
Issue for me
...
is that the MC is kinda passive...not useless, just not very smart or pro active. And I dont think its fault of the character, but the pacing of the story. It seems like the actions or the lack of them is caused by the need for the story to stretch longer.
You all know those stories where it would be done in 2 episodes if MC was competent, but cause he isnt, it takes 12 to fix his mistake.
Thats how it feels to watch the scenes in this anime, it might be me, but I swear I can see the plot armor getting cooked while characters stand around doing nothing and it feels artificial and bad.
I will give you some examples, so spoiler allert I guess:
1)
MC finds beautiful girl, saves her after she asks for help like any other good boy would. She then attacks him immediately, which he just takes passively, no anger, confusion, he just takes it and eventually defends himself by pulling plot armor he didnt know he had.
2)
MC now knows he has plot weapon, but decides to not use it till very end of exchange with baddie (pun intended), then after pulling out his plot weapon after almost getting killed, he then stands and watches 3rd party (that is also his enemy btw) attack his target and instead of striking them both at same time and saving us like 6 episodes, he watches them scramble...resulting in 3rd party escaping and baddie being back to ready to fck him up.
You might take it as bad writing, but for me this is making excuses to stretch story, and in my experience good stories dont this this, so I'm out dropping this, as there are plenty of good stories I havent watch yet

I see some ppl confused about the plot, as someone who read most of the sauce I decided to write one myself.
BTW...Yes its sauce is manhwa but comparing it to Solo lvling, is similar stretch as comparing Tokyo ghoul to Tensura (cuz manga).
Its by the same author as Lookism which is/was one of the most popular webtoons, and was sadly botched by its anime adaptation, just like Returner magic (its sad only mid mainstream shat like SL and God of HS got quality adaptation, while bein just mainstream mid)
Ranting aside...
This story istn about streaming, its a story about this goofy guy who starts
...
gettin famous by fighting deliquents. It is pretty funny story, I would say comedy 3:1 action, drama and later we even get some mild romance (not too evolved but at least proper human romance, not asexual or ecchi extremes).
Back to the story...As I said It doesnt take that long till things turns into some deeper shit including organized crime.
I dont think the 12ep will bet us there as I dont see those characters in the anime char list, but it should get pretty close, so hopefully ppl will give it a try and we will get S2.
OT: If you get interested in this and you wanna know what you gettin into w/o spoilers, I recommend checking Lookism, or if its too long (it kinda is) and you just wanna get feel for the author go check My life as a looser, its the shortest one and its complete and very enjoyable

Good spin on "that filler action/fun anime this season"? I think so
Animation 8, Char design 8, Plot 6.5, Execution 8
If you noticed the avalanche of bad anime with unreasonably good audio-visual lately (Nanatsuma, Ishura, etc) and were sad stuff with good source like Returner's magic, or silly but entertaining Villainess Level 99 are getting screwed on animation then THIS ONE MIGHT SURPRISE YOU!
We got MC that already stands above most other OP "new life" MCs just by doin what we would all expect, training and developing his skills! Yes he is too OP, but its always used as joke, not plot armor so that makes
...
is fine in my book.
What makes this MC special is also his insane obsession for magic knowledge. And I mean INSANE! (YKYK)
There are already 2 FMC that catch an eye. Yandere-ish beautiful and cool maid. And cute and pretty martial artist on a quest to find hot BF.
Where this anime stands out are definitely fight scenes and visuals, that might actually be it, lighthearted jokes, pretty girls and cool fights, which puts it immidiately above average for
The jokes are ok (its not Konosuba, but I didnt force myself to smile either).
Consider that this review is based on comparison to other anime of this sort and after only 4ep.
It scores this high for me compared to those filler anime like S-rank musume or Chiyu Mahou Machigatta, not main anime like Konosuba or Mushoku tensei comming.
