Once again, Taiwanese author Miki Nazuna is back at the Isekai Reincarnation trope slop, as with his 3rd anime series in 3 years since Summer 2023's Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu a.k.a My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1.

SUPER★DRAGON's 1st mainstream OP sounding too K-Pop-ish despite debuting 10 years since, but it really is just OK.


It doesn't pay to know that the MC of noble Noah Ararat, is a reincarnated being with him being the 13th Prince of the kingdom, with cheat powers of his own, this is his rising to fame with an infinite level cap and a skill to gain the abilities of those who serve him. With the servants under his beckoning (as is every royal family), the closest being his personal maid of 18-year-old Zoey, the gift of the Crown Prince's cursed water sword Leviathan, which matches Noah's SS-rank ability, it's accursed evil at work. Though when it comes treating his servants, Noah treats them with respect, as is helping Zoey's hometown Dosso, which apart from where his butler Dylan came from, is rife with a flood and conmen, utilizing his given nobility privileges for the better. Even his brother Henry seeing the commotion begs a look, though a test ofr the cursed water sword as well for a start.

Being in disguise, Noah going to Dosso to take a look at its developments granted from the empire, and soon he finds quite the problem with ruler Rowen Green's minion Lord Garil and his men tyrannizing the common folk with poor rations. And when Rowen shows up, the 13th Prince made his presence felt after beheading Garil, which he shows no mercy for corruption. Even better, is the empire's Emperor of Meeres acknowledging his work for a clean-up, where his water magic will become beneficial to the end.

Alichey's VA Azusa Tachibana's ED is nice, but that's all.

An average start as is with any Isekai Reincarnation story...no, sorry, scratch that.
This IS definitely the best start from the novelist's works turned into anime BY FAR.

@KANLen09 you clearly have no clue what you're talking about. I've watched plenty of isekai reincarnation stories that had excellent starts. From re zero, kage no to saga of tanya or konosuba. And dozens of others in between. Educate yourself before claiming more ridiculous things such as these top shows having average starts.

This was pretty rough. Especially when the prince woke up in his bed and they had this "time lapse" effect, but they were only skipping a couple seconds. Laying in bed - standing in bed - bed without the prince - maids appears beside him - (other angle) maids standing in front - maids dressing him.

the story, setup, worldbuilding, art-style/quality levels, and acting are good! but the animation is QUITE iffy in too many places for me to give this 1st episode anything more than a 5/10...

example? when the villagers all bowed down to MC they went from 'standing around' to 'kowtowing' with ZERO transitional animation. it was just 'stand' then \snap of the fingers/ 'heads to the ground kneeling'.

i'm going to keep going with this one and i hope the animation improves without losing any of the interesting and attractive artwork quality.

Hmm another Isekai show!

Mc with a powerful sword called Leviathan.

Let's see how this story goes so far okayish!
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Kind of an average start. Not terrible, but the sound design is lacking and the dialogue is stiff making the whole episode feel flat. Definitely has potential. Also everyone is calling this an isekai, there’s nothing to indicate that yet. For all we know he was reincarnated within the same world, and in fact that appears to be the case based on his familiarity with his status menu and his comment about his status being “reset to level 1.” This is simple reincarnation, not an isekai.

I'm certainly no izekai expert but that seemed like a pretty strong start to me. I loved the mc he's ethically sound, smart and pragmatic. It was serious without being too dark and grim. Animation did enough to make it look good. 8/10.

Average start, I'll give props to protag-kun for doing something no other protagonist has ever made in the very first episode, I wonder what's his brother play, why he gave him that cursed sword? For now they won, I'll keep my eyes on this another week.

This is another trope that has been seeing more animes lately. Reincarnated as 7th, 8th, 13th etc prince and then working their way through and stuff. This one mc isn't hiding abilities and crown prince has it in for him so we are likely to see political stuff along with some op action. Again they somehow kind of made the ability of the mc a bit unique with how his companions power him. Though the first episode felt pretty rushed, idk if this is how it is in the og source but this just felt like the anime tried to get to the sword scene to grab some viewers. Production is okay with below average stuff in certain scenes which looked awkard. Anyway not expecting much. Just here for the usual fantasy stuff.

The usual condescending tripe in the chat. Does nobody actually like anime any more?
Not the slickest production, there isn’t a bottomless pit of money available it seems. But a reasonably paced start to a reincarnation power fantasy (probs not isekai from info available) with mainly interesting characters and politics. Could turn to shit, but I try to stay positive so I’ll look forward to next week!

Decent first episode. I ain't sure whether this anime is actually going to be action-focused, as it’s already listed, or more political, considering the protagonist is literally a prince. Either way, I’m curious to see how it turns out.

The political and administrative aspects were good, but some other things weren't. And I don't know what fixation anime creators have with Water element protagonists; in recent seasons we've already had this one, The Water Magician, Kunon the Sorcerer Can See...

@MegamiRem We need a betting market for just how high the prince number will go before the industry barfs up any more attempts to recycle this already-cliche setup

That was rough...both the multiple weird "we just drew the storyboard instead of animating it" parts and the horrible audio quality. Here's hoping that's CR's fault and not the sound guy for the show thinking it's better to increase the levels until it starts peaking.

Pretty okay start. Nothing yet to really set it apart from every other isekai for me. But it has just enough interesting stuff going on that it hooked me at least enough to be interesting. At least the characters look pretty and it does seem like a show you can just watch without having to think too much, so great after a long workday.

@robertino129 wow, thanks for exposing me, but more importantly, to others that you are an anime tourist. What makes you think that MAL scores are indicative of quality, when everyone may have the same or different opinions from you? You can choose to respect or ridicule what people think, but going after others defending why they like or hate, is just seriously poor taste.

And just to make a point, your anime "knowledge" is levels shallow compared to mine.

@KANLen09 What a sad comment to someone that has been around the site for over a decade is an anime tourist. Typical of people who make anime their entire identity while also being terminally online.

ANY aggregate scores sourced from hundreds of thousands to millions of people are indicative of quality, kid. It's the sole reason every single purchase or piece of art has a rating you can give it, that data itself has value.

Defending? You didn't defend anything, you literally attacked all shows in a specific genre without providing any arguments - not that you could, since there's about 500 very diverse shows in that category. Now THAT is poor taste.

Go back to your lair and brag to your inanimate objects about your "knowledge', which is so vast that you call high graded shows with multiple awards as well as nominations as being average.

An incredible start to another isekai. Screw the first 6 years of his life, just slide into the meat of the story. So much intrigue and potential storylines. Clearly the crown prince is a douchebag and who knows what the king’s plans are, but maybe Henry is on the level. Can’t wait to see how the story develops!

Good episode

Decent animation, and it looks good. Story seems pretty bare bones but its just starting so this can change. Honestly I am not a fan of the reincarnated genre but this seems different from what I am used to. It was someone from the fantasy world reincarnating into a royal from the same world, which is interesting. Also holy shit that one guy got his freaking her chopped off, that was so visceral lol.
