| atleast the heroine is pretty cute loli !! |
| cgi is really bad, art is ok. hopefully it doesnt get worse from here cuz i really like the ln |
| Did the female VA have other commitments? That silent montage at the end was...awkward to say the least. Also the overuse of 3D graphics is really hard to take especially for Ep1. Not a good way to start a series. |
| There are rules for writing a story. One of them is show, don't tell. Now there exists an Anime that in it's first part breaks this rule with an adamantium hammer swung by a mountain giant, and then sits on the debris like it was meant to be a silent movie with strange facial expression and the conclusion that mirrors exist only in one shop at the end of the episode.. And the CGI is hurting my feelings. Sub-mediocre, bad storytelling, ugly and cheap use of CGI and the character has nothing to give, I bet it's just a reskin and they can use all of their powers right away. Keine Kaufempfehlung. |
| The Gods and Demons you fear and worship are as nothing to me! |
| Interesting to find out as well that apparently the director, Keitarou Motonaga, is the same director who directed Malice@Doll. |
| well i decided to try out Funi's simulcast dub of ep1 after seeing a file of the sneak preview. yup, all that was removed from ep1 in their vid on YouTube was the EP/song. shrug. ah well, i can't be right about everything all the time. i still like the show and i'll keep watching it. as otaku from now till probably the end of time will say, 'At least it's better than 'EX-Arm'. :> source gatekeepers, quitcherbitchin and be happy you got an anime at all! every. single. show/movie/game in entertainment HISTORY has deviated in some way from their source. here's 3 examples of my own! after reading Robert Jordan's epic fantasy 'The Wheel of Time' novels since #1 came out in 1990 i was hopeful when the Amazon live action series was announced. but i was utterly disappointed and couldn't even get past the first 15 minutes of ep1. i won't be going back to that show ever again. i started that novel series when i saw my first anime EVER! i loved Jim Butcher's 'Harry Dresden Files' urban fantasy novels and enjoyed them since 2000 when 'Storm Front' was published. it got the same horrid treatment with the Sci-Fi Channel single season bomb in 2007. Terry Goodkind's 'The Sword of Truth' epic fantasy novels that i started in 1994 when i graduated from highschool, got an even WORSE than the previous novels' adaptations. it was so bad it went straight to TV syndication in 2008. do you think 'Xena Warrior Princess' and Kevin Sorbo's 'Hercules' were bad, ok, mediocre? The Sword of Truth TV series was worse than BOTH those shows. so? does anybody here have a franchise they've loved for... 31, 7, and 14 YEARS suddenly get a craptastical TV version? yes i'm talking about the number of years between when the books first came out and their TV series... i have kept reading all those books many MANY years after the shows came out. yes i got angry, yes i talked trash about the TV shows for quite a while, around a week to 3 weeks for each one. but i do hope that those ... ugh! .... nightmares would have brought folks to enjoy those authors' works. so be a little bit more lenient lads n lassies. why scare off anybody who might enjoy a franchise? |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| did the production already run out of budgets on the second part of this ep? |
| I think im the only one who liked the first episode lol. He went from an ancient mage to a loli girl XD. |
| Isn't the back story of episode one contradicting? It was bleach period for magician in Age of Strife, but look at those 9 wise men. Luminaria single-handedly destroy a whole army. Soul Howl also single-handedly not only defense against whole army but also destroy a whole army. Then there is this Dunbalf, who also know as one man army. Just these 3 alone is equal force to 3 countries... If these other 6 also have the same ability, they could easily taken over the whole world. |

jmstructor said: Comparing this and kuma bear is an interesting choice. Like they are both fantasy isekai with a "cute" female main character that has overpowered abilities. But the comparison kinda ends there, like the studio could surely bend it over backwards in that direction by jamming in slice of life moments and focusing on the down chapters. But it's not really a slice of life with adventure subplots, there are pressing concerns in this story with more serious characters. Comparing the LNs is also weird since wiseman is a much harder read, with longer arcs, and more complex topics. Like kuma bear isn't devoid of topics like embezzling funds, but it resolves it in like 6 pages then goes back to making pudding. Wiseman is almost nonstop: arcane circles, micro-energies, treatises, video game chat, engineering, tactics, town politics, debating situations, and also cute moments. Like danblf is always working in the realm of countries and politics; Yuna is just trying to find japanese food, make friends, fix things with her amazing japan knowledge (like child labor? always putting orphanages to work, never change japan) and fill her time with some adventuring. Danblf is immediately thrown headfirst into a situation involving the country he helped build under imminent existential threat and he is decades behind the times. As for how interesting it will be. I dunno, the studio could easily ruin both volume 1 and 2 easily enough. I can't speak to the later half since it's not yet translated and the book is pretty hard in Japanese compared to something easy like kuma bear. Then "Reincarnated as a Sword" should be the next best thing as both plots revolve around a cute girl going on adventures and fetch quests while meeting new peeps. Or this genre has been done to death in the medium lmao The main point I'm comparing Wiseman to KKKB is their similarities on how they handled their first anime episode with the events rearrangement which were executed really horribly |

| well i'm really gotten sick and tired of all these VMMROPG whatever kind of genre...but at least this has good visuals let's see the plot... 3/5. |
 |
| What the bloody hell was that episode? Did someone seriously think it was fine to air this? It seems to be in the depths of production hell from the get-go. From The Man That Brought You School Days? ...I have a lingering suspiction he consciously tries to prove School Days wasn't the worst his work. |
 |
| this is so fucking boring lmao |
 |
| the only thing I liked is the OP theme music... honestly, watched the OP twice. The rest of the episode is incredibly bad. I kept getting the urge to stop the video, and just give snacks to my pet cat. lol not sure if can stomach one more episode of this... but will try to watch episode 2. |
Lord_Godwin said: I just wanted to check the airing schedule only to find out it's already rated 5.70 score. I don't even have the courage to watch this now, one of my most awaited adaptation. The most i can hope for is a studio change if season 2 will be a thing. The studio that animates this currently does not have a good reputation. Exactly what i wanted to say |
| Heavens committed a sin. |
| Episode was really bad info exposition with shitty Overlord quality CGI. But end part with mute scenes with background music was brilliant. It was very artsy. Whole show should have started there without any explanations. It would have been so much better that way. But no matter how bad first episode is, remember three episode rule! All this season's isekais had very boring start and second episode of Leadale no Daichi nite was very good compared to first episode. |
 |
| But why do anime studios ruin good sources? I can't comprehend this. Why is it even allowed? |

Are you saying that Xena Warrior Princess is bad show? I disagree. It is legendary. It was at time very good show. But overall I agree. These days companies just seems to want ruin good sources. Wheel of Time series was dog shit and that was dear for me too. Lots of anime are same. Anime industry just ruins those sources because some shitty company will just grasp my favorite anime. Why can't good studio take these good stories and make good anime? Why are good stories allowed to be ruined by bad studios? Bad studios should just take bad sources and make bad anime from them. Entertainment companies always say that one can't not adapt source very faithfully because medium is different. I always hear the same excuse. But then comes adaptation which covers source as faithfully as possible like Dune and it is masterpiece. It is just lazy excuse for companies to say that because they don't have competence. |

| That was honestly one of the most boring 16mins of my life. I say that long, as the actual last few minutes was actually good. With how it was presented, but the stuff with the old dude just...Wasn't interesting or kept me entertained in the slightest. It's almost as if I'm glad the turned into a chick thing happened, cause otherwise it was looking quite poor and boring. Like, I could care less about how the foes look, I care more about the story, and the way it was looking, it was just a sleeper. Hope that improves massively. |
| Wow, i thought the mc was the that pretty shouta king. But its turned out the mc that turned out to be the cute loli actually the one that act as an old man. Now, that's, interesting. The ex old man now don't feel so weird while interacting with the king, if you know what i mean. But damn, wtf with that goblin and dragon 3d. 100-man memory triggered and intensified me xd. Second kenja show for this blessed season. Idk if i should be proud of it or not. But, they look strong enough to me to waste my precious time. So, ofc i can't wait to see the next... |

But then comes adaptation which covers source as faithfully as possible like Dune and it is masterpiece. It is just lazy excuse for companies to say that because they don't have competence. ;) when Lucy Lawless can do a guest starring role as herself in a convention interview panel on an episode of The Simpsons and basically lampoons all the 'problems' with her show by saying, "If you have a problem with something in the show, 'A Wizard did it.' that will be my only answer." then the geeky guy in the audience keeps asking her questions about the show and that's her only answer, "A Wizard did it." actually, visual entertainment 'honchos' are exactly right. trying to take the written word and put it up on screen isn't easy. sure, anime studios for 40+ years have gotten lazy screenwriting down to a near science. but look at it from another angle, everything i've read for 30 years now generally states: that if it's from a light novel, it'll take 4-6 BOOKS to make 12 episodes of anime. as i've shown before, i'm a HUGE fantasy/urban fantasy nerd. our 'Western' novels (especially hardbacks!) are 350-500 pages! what's the average LN these days? maybe topping 250-75 pages, and that is including the illustration pages? if you tried to take the first 4 books of the three series i mentioned previously and turn them into 12 episodes of anime? snort! that would be physically IMPOSSIBLE! for example, i've read SEVERAL statements/interviews Mr. Butcher has done about making his novels into graphic novels. he's said multiple times that's the HARDEST form of writing he's run into to date. there's just so much he's written into his novels that wouldn't make a lick of sense inside a comic-book. from the other direction, manga only based anime? i tell manga purists and gatekeepers this all the time. 'if you want a manga to anime that is 100% correct it will be: in black n white, everybody will have thought and speech bubbles, there'll be minimal animation, and it. will. suck.' |

| From time Mira appearance to the end it's felt like promotional Namco RPG. I'd say they did great with landscape background art and BGM. |

| They really wanted to save money with that second half, lmao |
| Ughhh tht CG monster is horrendous but unfortunately that is not the ony thing bad, everything is bad.... 4/10 |
| I used to say,"how could you rate something below 5?" Well this episode answers that XD |
 |
| Mira trying to don her suit feels a lot fanservice-y. Other than that, it's the same adventure stuff with the same jarring CGI that doesn't do one bit to enhance the action. Mira continues to be OP as usual, but every power emancipation needs its own stop animation...which is a no no. |
 |
| Been hoping to see Kenja no Deshi get animated ever since I read the manga years ago and so happy to see it finally came through. Even if the animation and jarring CGI isn't all that pleasant, I'd still continue to watch this. |
| MMORPG player getting reincarnated into a loli in the fantasy world, I think you can't be even more basic than that... |
 |
| The last five minutes with no sound and only background music was... something. |
 |
| the game idea is good if it had existing kingdoms before with NPC with realistic AI, u could become king and also u can loose the place to a NPC again and NPC's reproduce i guess some1 made the sage char change in to what she is like in real life |
| Gandalf look-a-like turning into a loli, truly the dream of every isekai enthousiast. Production quality-wise seems quite bad but lets see if it improves (hopefully) |
