| Seriously. You'll probably have to ignore the limited battery life, limited features, no guarantee your clothing can hold it, how fragile the device is, etc... My guess is that the MC doesn't have to worry about these limitations and has some attachment to his smartphone. There'd be a problem if the device couldn't charge, so we'll assume it can be charged. Letting your imagination do the talking is the whole point of this thread. If you've read or watched the series already, please avoid spoiling it for others... is what I'd like to say, but it seems we've already pasted that point. It's pretty obvious what one would do after watching the series now. |

| @AniSus: Guess I didn't make myself clear. That's the whole point of this thread. If the phone actually has value in the different world you're sent to, it's possible it'll make life even easier there. The phone being linked to magic makes sense. On the other hand, at least he wasn't reincarnated. There's no way a baby would be born along with a smartphone, but being able to summon the device at will may fall within the world's logic. That way, it won't break or need to be charged. It'll simply last as long as your magic. The usefulness of the device is a different story. |

cataclisto said: Personally I would use the internet, this is a mideval/magic world right? How would you use the internet when there's no internet in the other world? Basically, the fact you'd have no way to charge it, no way to contact other people with it, and no way to access the internet with it, makes it largely useless. I suppose you could set the brightness to lowest and use it to make photos with while the battery lasts. Those could serve as memories once you get back to the real world. (I haven't watched this show, so I have no idea what happens in it, lol.) |

| @AniMatt17: Answering this question with an open mind is easier for those who haven't seen the 1st episode yet. I made this thread because the synopsis alone isn't very appealing. The answers you see only prove my point. Re:Zero did the exact same thing without it being a wish. There's obviously more to the story, so don't assume no one here is aware of that already. |

| @AniMatt17: You misunderstand. Guess it's too late now that you've spoiled it. Viewers like you are the reason I made this thread before the series aired. I suppose it was unavoidable. Anyhow, I did intent to watch it. You should've checked my PTW list before making that statement. After watching it, I realized the real dilemma. The MC states his wish in the form of a question: "Can you make it so I'm able to use this in the other world?" Kami just added a few features so that the smartphone still has some use in the other world. It'd be pointless otherwise. My real plight is that the synopsis didn't explain why he chose to bring his smartphone. Based on the 1st episode, it would have been sent with him regardless. It was simply a matter of whether it worked or not. Again, much like Re:Zero. If it were up to me, I'd change the synopsis because of how misleading and unappealing it is. "keeping his smartphone" was the same as keeping his wallet and clothing. Being able to use his smartphone is the same as being able to use what money he had left from his world. Did you even read the synopsis before replying to my earlier statement? In the end, it would seem Kami simply gave him the ability to use magic to charge his smartphone. |

Unleashed_SM said: I'm enjoying this. I love how we're shown that the MC is given magic by God. Now I'm already seeing people shitting on this series because of how "generic" it is, but people need to realize that, nothing is going to be original. We've had so many anime come out throughout the years, that it's going to be difficult to find a 100% original anime. Every series has some sort of non originality and that's a fact. The problem is that more than other genres, the Isekai genre is plagued with genericness because it is literally the same plot over and over. The thing that makes these stories interesting (and really any story) is the characters and what makes it different from others like it. "I was sent to another world." Well, what else happens? What is the difference between this story and others like it? So far in this show the protagonist is a bland, blank slate with no personality, he's OP from the get-go, and we have the beginnings of a harem in progress. I've read plenty of Isekai stories, and those three points pretty much fit the template of how many of these mass-produced Isekai stories are. The twist is he has his smartphone, what of it? So far he's used it for literally nothing relevant. He uses it like once as a map, this could easily be replaced by him using a normal map or just wandering around to wherever he needs (he'll get wherever he needs for the sake of the plot). I'm not gonna drop it yet since it's still setting stuff up. From the review of the first novel, it sounds like it'll set everything up relatively soon, so what happens after the initial setup will determine whether or not it can do something different with its main plotpoint "having your smartphone in another world." Because if he just ends up using it for nothing and instead using magic for everything then what the hell is the point? |
| Considering the magic abilities and a smartphone where u can find all kind of useful information i would try to open a store where i can sell the stuff that doesn't exist in other world like modern cloth, ice cream and etc for a high price. |
| Considering how the phone can be charged with magic, learning magic is obviously priority. And god gave him affinity so he already got that down. Wasn't a stupid move tbh. I wouldn't of picked my phone, I would of made a wish that is much more general, like borderline reality warping if I can push it. A phone is a decent choice if anything better fails. Like unlimited knowledge or summoning objects from no where etc. The phone is a very good device, you can use it for maps, much more accurate than any maps drawn up in the old era. Not many people seem to realize that here. Also IRL humanity didn't discover every land until the late 1800s, so a phone with a satellite map is extremely useful. It also provides accurate data such as direction(north, east, west) and coordinates, elevation, terrain etc. No historical map can do that. Do realize compasses start to be inaccurate near the poles, modern devices get around this via various electronic capabilities. No medieval map will replace a phone. The next thing is the vast knowledge of the modern world. As shown, he made ice cream. But can be used so much more. He can even make guns for self-defense given he had the required resource. Compass, clocks, carriage, stove, etc. You can argue some of these should already exist, but as you advance further, the modern knowledge is very useful. Steam engines, turbines, internal combustion engines. I doubt his intelligence as these are very complex machines, but just examples. But in all honesty, firearms, optics and the like are fairly simple in mechanical operations. Navigational tools like the sextant would be very useful but also simple enough to make. All this provided through the vast information of the web. The phone can also provide him vital knowledge on survival. Poisonous fruits, climates, animal habitats etc. As he will probably see this in a rather rural setting of such an old era, the phone can provide vital information for surviving in the wilderness. How to start fire, avoid animals, how to cross certain terrain like quick sand. Heck it can teach him first aid in the case of injury. And in other cases provide knowledge on a good diet and exercise routine as he will need to have a fit body to survive in the new environment. And the video and photo capability allow him to use it to keep track of where he been or even use it to remember things long term. Notepad app can store dozens upon dozens of paper worth of notes and information. The whole recording ability can be used as evidence for crimes. It is limitless. of if you are missing something, take a photo, more accurate than any description you can give to people. And of course entertainment when you are bored. All in all, the phone with internet can help you learn new skills you need to survive in a new environment. And you can use it to learn about economy, open a business and do some sneaky little business tricks to get ahead. Most of these concepts didn't exist prior to the industrial revolution. So things like vertical and horizontal integration, monopoly, assembly line is non existent. You can sue this knowledge to propel your business in a new world. |

| @TheUnlocked: Look at it this way. Who says our MC's smartphone still functions as one? His device is more of a walkie talkie now that Kami is the only one he can communicate with. As for the internet and its websites, it's more like a downloaded app that is updated regularly. Kami acts as the service provider and the app developer. Kami doesn't have to directly connect our MC's smartphone to his old world; only keep the device uptodate. |

| @TheUnlocked: Your greatly underestimating Kami here. I don't know why you believe Kami has to follow human standards, but who said he had to program to begin with? Your probably trolling me here. If you watched the 1st episode, how do you think our MC got his powers? You can't tell me Kami enhance our MC using science. Kami transcends whatever science you know. Oh, I may as well go out of my way to bring up Knight's & Magic, where magic is basically programming. Enough said. P.S. If I were you, I'd bring up how much data storage the smartphone would need to hold a world's worth of information next. In any case, stop questioning how the smartphone works. It's intentionally outside human understanding. We're not talking about space travel here. |

| @TheUnlocked: Well, you leave me no choice. I'll play the bible card. It's your choice to believe what is and isn't possible. There's a reason the MC has to avoid explaining how his smartphone works. Bringing up Kami would always be considered nonsensical to someone who doesn't know what he's capable of. Examples: 1. Describing modern technology to someone from medieval times or further. 2. Describing color/sound to someone who is blind/deaf. 3. Describing flight to someone who has never seen a flying creature/object. 4. Describing creatures that breath under water to someone without prior knowledge. 5. Describing microorganisms/galaxies to someone without a means to see them. Most of these are instances where your description would be considered nonsensical to the other party. If you don't believe it's possible, what point is there in explaining? On the other hand, why should Kami reveal all his secrets? Anyhow, no hard feelings here either. I understand your stance on the subject. |

| Kami is a plot device. God can do anything, pretty sure we all know that... At least in traditional Western religion, god is omnipotent. So it does make 'sense' because god can do whatever even if defying science. HOWEVER it does make for bad writing. It is like how deus ex machina are bad. There are exceptions to these especially for comedic purposes. It works because God, which can do anything. lazy writing yes. illogical? Not exactly. You should not expect anything when you have a MC with no emotions other than to help people... Girls that does nothing but apparently look cute, they don't even have a goddamn archetype for god sake! MC is open from the start because MC buffs him. His death isn't even explained. No background for anyone. everyone loves him, he has god and the national government supporting him. Latest episode he gets the most OP pet around. Every problem is solved in seconds by MC-kun. Do you seriously expect the author to not use the God card? Just feel pointless to complain about something so specific when this show is worse than run-off the-mill since there isn't anything separating it at all. other than the opening I can't defend this show at all. Still watch it since nothing else to do. |
