| I wasn't expecting much but on the animation quality side, it's actually decent in terms of technical quality. First episode went into details about main protagonist Ard's life, although it's more of his childhood. Oh and can't forget about Ireena. Their relationship is actually kinda cute if you ask me. Of course a fantasy anime like this would have goblins ...lol. |
 |
| Remember Maou Gakuin a.k.a Misfit of the Demon King Academy and last season's Shikkakumon? This show is exactly like both of them, but combined to double up on the typical reincarnation mediocrity of a trope. The Demon Lord Varvatos reincarnated as a typical nobody by the name of Ard Meteor, he's just like Matthias to want people to impress him...which he quickly turned on that and went for the girls instead and earn himself a harem friend, which at this point, is really tiring to watch the same overused tropes. I'm willing to bet that whoever is voicing kid Ard also voiced Matthias in Shikkakumon. Typical children, NOPE. But this Ireena Litz de Olhyde girl whom is very closed off, got scared of Ard too much that he literally stalks her from day and night, wanting her to be his friend. And of all things, you have to start with the infamous Goblin Slayer sequence, just to showcase Ard's OP-ness and childhood simping for friendship. Yelp, I cry for help for anyone watching this cringe travesty, and this work is first conceived in Syosetu in 2017...what the hell are these newbie novelists thinking of copy-pasting overused tropes??? |

| I thought it’d be something similar to Misfit of demon king academy, but I guess judging something from the title itself is too big of a scam. For a moment someone can ignore the obvious blandness of the plot, but it’s too tall of a task when it comes to dealing with this main dude, like who’s even voicing him for god sake. Well just leave it be, going any further will just pile up the wastage of time anyone would get from watching this episode. |

| That was such a terrible start. Well, the good thing is we got through all the boring past and now we could probably get to the good stuff. Hopefully... |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| The Misfit of Demon King Academy is a lot better than it. |
 |
| That was some new level of desperation but atleast his stubornness paid off. Fmc is cute but the fmc from his past life is cuter. |
 |
| So maou Gakuin s2 eh? Sign me up. Solid first episode, won’t make you love isekai if you don’t already, and if you do, well you’ll enjoy it like me. |
 |
| Hey a fellow most powerful person in the world quitting being a Demon Lord like the other guy who quit being a Hero. He is reborn as a Typical Nobody except he isn't. He can fly, and casually defeat monsters and goblins with his eyes. What's even the point? Also, animal abuse Still, him being unable to make friends due to not knowing proper communication was at least a nice detail. Well, let's see if Typical Nobody is able to make 100 friends. |
 |
| Decent one. It was pretty hilarious how MC tried different strategies how to make friends lmao. Child Ireena is activating my lolicon side LOL. |
   |
| Ehh.. Thanks, but no thanks. |
 |
| Those two's relationship is really quite cute and adorable. This will be my cup of tea. I gotta say, this background story was rather good and enjoyable but skipping a damn 7 years doesn't sit well with me. It will be great watching them in a season while they're still kids but we didn't get that kind of thing, sadly. Reincarnation and not an isekai is welcome for me. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Yesterday Yuusha Yamemasu had the opposite values of this one, lesser animation but way better comedy. The comedic bits in here feel way too forced and almost like a highschool chuuni story. The most important bit of why the demonlord choose to reincarnate is completely missing in this episode, and thus there's less interest on my behalf on taking him seriously. I'll watch one more ep and decide to drop it or endure some more mediocrisy. |
HiddenByDesign said: I'm sorry, Misfit of Demon King Academy is easily one of the best fantasy reincarnation stories, even if you hate it by a long mile.Yo dawg, I heard you like demon lords, so we put an isekai in your isekai, so you can reincarnate while you reincarnate.

Yet you gave misfit a 9/10. One day you will eventually learn almost all isekai is generic trash. Too bad, I've already learnt what is good and what is bad, and you're not a Chad to say this. |

| Really didn't like this. The premise is incredibly bland and done better elsewhere. It's hard not to draw negative comparisons to Misfit of Demon King Academy. The MC in this doesn't seem to compare to the Voldigoat. The power system also just seems less interesting compared to the over the top summoning entire castles and flexing on people with your heartbeat. MC's mannerisms were straight cringe to read too; actual eye pain from it. I'm just glad he somehow managed to get a friend, but I dunno... probably going to drop this soon. Maybe give an ep to see how it is in the academy. |
| eh that was actually pretty fun, a lot better than I expected |
Call me Ren  |
| Idk about anyone else but I personally enjoyed this episode. There is no plot but a dude monologues about him trying to get a friend and that gets me.. The animation is endurable.. strangely it had better 3d goblins than aot s4 p1 3d titans and lmao I personally am looking forward to the next episodes.. The MC is OP but not dense in dense sense.. |
| Great episode! Ard finally makes a friend-Ireena after saving her and now we have a timeskip of several years in which she proposes they both enroll in the magic academy! Their relationship is pretty kawaii nano desu xD. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| This show basically asks you if you have quality standards for media. Do you? |
 |
| Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha reboot, except the MC is dumb and annoying. Got it |
| If we're just going to get no plot and dumb shit I am in. This was actually pretty funny overall. What I assume will be the Opening went hard AF as well. And the potential for an abundance of waifus...yes please Ard is basically Anos fused with Lloyd Belladonna. |

| In the last part where Ard saved Ireena from goblins and then conversation started between Ard and Ireena about frendship and all it reminds me 2nd last episode of Oregairu season 3(bridge conversation). |
| Well I didn't come into this show expecting some kind of revolutionary plot or Shakespearean levels of writing lol. It was ok, in the "turn off your brain and enjoy the dumb fun" type of way. Not gonna lie, seeing Ard's social awkwardness when he was trying to befriend people was actually a little funny. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I fell asleep halfway through the episode. It's just so boring. |
 |
| So we have another being who is too powerful to the point of being feared in this season, but this one decided to be reincarnated. It was hilarious to see poor Ard trying to make friends, I like how much of a dork he is. Also, I loved Rie Takahashi's male voice, hard to tell it was her. Ireena is pretty cute, I really like her design... I want to see more of her grown up version. Pretty fun first episode, looking forward to more (including the other girls haha). |

| tbh i prefer rewatch misfit at this point, this anime start totally like misfit, Anos/Ard start with massive growth, both parents very looks like (they really love them kid), meet 1 girl at very first episode, totally looks like each other, the different is Mc just want friendship i give 3 episode rule again, tbh rewatch misfit is not bad idea |
| What a great start. Kinda interested more in this isekai than any of the other seasonal shows. Even though its your typical op and smart main character, it is still very exciting. |

| Interesting start. Tho still kinda generic, LOL Then we get the typical "Time Skip" that a lot of Reincarnate series seems to be doing. ___ ___ ___ Also... if Ard did the same "chasing" he did in our modern world (stalking + peeking at other's naked physical bodies without permission), it's technically a criminal offense if the girl pressed charges and Ard could be arrested, fined and jailed for up to 5 years... LOL Ard's just lucky that Ireena was also alienated by others cause she also had stronger power than others like Ard. And this Fantasy World doesn't have laws against stalking apparently... |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Every season, there had to be one slot on my watchlist for the most horrendous isekai/fantasy. This show is in a huge lead for that slot. |
