| I'm sure there were a lot of ways to make this anime better but nope, they seemed to followed some sort of instructions of 'how to isekai' and this was the result. Stopped the video at the 7th minute and that's the far I'll get on this one. Dropped. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Seems like the overused concept of boring character dies > gets reborn/transported to fun fantasy world > becomes really op for "reasons" = generic isekai. Not sure how to feel about it, with the generic troupes they hit, they also just kinda used them all to build the world which was interesting take on it. They also went through the like first 15 years in that new world really quickly which again seems like it was just to build the world up. I'm pretty interested where this show is going to go. It seemed really generic at first, but I think that's going to be completely ignored for the most part besides him being incredibly overpowered. |
 I love to talk anime and manga, feel free to message me! |
| One thing I don't understand about isekais is the stupidity of initially presenting the mc as a loser and then, in the next act, transporting it to another world turned into a fucking Gary Stu. Obviously this is done with the sole purpose of fulfilling the fantasy of self-insertion, but come on, realize that it's a fucking shit D: |

felipeliborio said: Is a really good series. The ending is a bit meh as they rushed it but it is worth seeing.nightcrawlercyp said: There is so much he can do with science and magic. It reminds me of this dude https://myanimelist.net/character/23100/Saten I haven't watched Needless yet but indeed the Kanja no Mago manga makes some really interesting use of magic merged with science. I'm liking it more than I thought I would. |
| Distinctly remember reading this manga years ago, then life got in the way and I dropped reading manga entirely... Good to know it's going strong enough for an anime adaptation. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| This is giving me HUGE Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni vibes. I really loved that show. |
| Watching this made me physically ill |

| This is the clichie's of all cliche it made me cringe almost through every scene. Animation was good for an isekai show but the main reason why I like shield hero and not this is... the MC here is too fcking OP, not that I'm saying I hate OP chars as a whole since I like Izayoi from Mondaiji but Izayoi didnt just randomly get his powers because he got teleported to an isekai, Izayoi was literally too OP for the real world so he took the invitation to another world so that he can finally let loose. I hate tropes that turns isekai MC's into some random OP God like being that everyone flanders and gets surprised around, like we fcking get it, HE'S OP! I may just stick around because the animation was quite nice but other than that the start and characters are massive shit. |
  |
| It was fine..feels like Subaru alter ego went to another different world...oh god what is this? AGAIN!?!?!? 3/5. |
 |
| It was alright i guess. Better than the Smartphone anime at the very least. Giving it 2 more episodes |
 |
| Another typical isekai anime *sigh*...... |
| So far in the first episode it managed to check every single overused isekai trope and clichés. Pretty bad first impression. But the mansion ripped of straight from Konosuba takes the cake. I'll give it a shot however, because for example Failed Knight ep 1 also was full of overused tropes and left bad first impression, but ended up being quite good. |
 |
| Just had the feel that the house in the city for Merlin was really the KonoSuba mansion. Oh brings back memories. And Kobayashi Yuusuke in a cheerful role is good to hear. This show feels lika a mix of Isekai no Smartphone and Death March kara Hajimeru Sekai. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I am skipping Isekai Bingo grunts. There must be one of such show each season and I think this one is closer to Knights&Magic rather then Smartphone. Let's talk good stuff. In the OP (presented at the end) girls were ranked in the oppai-size order, last one protested and got rank up. Now I am rooting for this girl instead of main couple. |
| Another good Isekai show |
| EXPECTEDLY... Combine EVERY isekai cliche and troupe (TenSura's reincarnation + past tried isekai (Smartphone, Death March)) and trounce them into one package: That's Kenja no Mago for you. Didn't think that this isekai show would keep on burning bridges, but with the overly use of its gag comedy (which the synopsis has already mentioned), it's...gonna be a fun ride? Hopefully this keeps up though as that ONE rare isekai that isn't Shield Hero, TenSura, but one that is worth an honorable mention. |

| Having Subaru's VA make this show so much better . |
 |
| Someone should edit and mash together a clip of all the anime openings where the mc gets killed at the start lol |
 |
| And of course my trashy self somehow enjoyed this cliché fest At least there was effort put into this as opposed to Ragnarök and Smartphone. I've always said that clichés aren't necessarily bad if done well, so let's see where this will go |
 |
| It's amazing how terrible the pacing was for an opening episode. I'm typing this halfway the episode LOL. |
| Another Isekai, Truck kill and Over Powered Main Character. People get sick of this but not me I love it and I want more... The Best part is that the Main Character isn't annoying and that's all I want. this has successfully replace Tensei Slime. 5/5 Loved it. |
Dudi4PoLFr said: Well yet again a isekai with a op af MC, nothing new here. But why he is living in the mansion of KonoSoba party?? This is some kind of prequel that I didn't know about [sarcasm off]?  Just checked it and fvck it’s true. Lol Perhaps konosuba party will be mentioned at later time. |
Minecarter said: So how did a European oldman give a Japanese name to a newly born european kid? 🤣 Believe it or not, but shin isn't a strictly japanese name, it was a name in some mostly dead languages such as Celtic, it's not commonly used anymore outside of asia though, and i doubt the LN author thought of it. As for the anime itself, it has potential but it's far too rushed, they need to slow it down to a sane pace. |
| Jeez, the pacing is toooooo faaaaast!!! As mostly a shounen guy, I felt like I just watched 3 episodes. The characters just talk fast and talk and talk and then do some more talking. But it's really good. |
 |
| I'd love to know who did the animation for action scenes in this episode. Those scenes looked rather cool and had nice flow to them. |
| Don't see why they needed to make this an isekai rather then a straight up fantasy anime lol |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Isekai and overpowered protagonist. Nothing unique. But it's actually pretty good. I like the light-heartedness of this show. We got to see the heroine too. She looks cuter in the anime. |

| This episode reminded me a bit of Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, but it was a decent watch. The story is light, the animation is good and it was funny! I can't wait for next week to be honest :) |
 |
| because this isekai also seems to me to be sympathetic, it is the happy type, unlike the supposed avant-garde harem such as goblin slayer and shield hero. |
 "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." |
| This is so simple but I actually enjoyed it. Surprised but glad I picked this up as I wasn't going to initially. |
| Starting to hate this already. |
The only funny scene, and only because it made me think "like this anime" |
| Looks like it will be a nice watch and of course he's op as hell |
 |
| Best kind of anime. Fast pacing but it works. |
