Synopsis

In the kingdom of Earlshide, Merlin Wolford was once regarded as a national hero, hailed for both his power and achievements. Preferring a quiet life however, he secludes himself deep in the rural woods, dedicating his time to raising an orphan that he saved. This orphan is Shin, a normal salaryman in modern-day Japan who was reincarnated into Merlin's world while still retaining his past memories. As the years pass, Shin displays unparalleled talent in both magic casting and martial arts, much to Merlin's constant amazement.

On his 15th birthday, however, it becomes apparent that Shin only developed his combat skills and nothing else, leaving him with blatant social awkwardness, a lack of common sense, and a middling sense of responsibility. As a result, Shin enrolls in the kingdom's Magic Academy to hone his skills and mature among other teenagers. However, living a normal life is impossible, as he is established as a local celebrity almost as soon as he arrives.

As Shin Wolford adjusts to his high school life in the capital, he makes new friends, learns about the world, and fights off the various forces of evil surrounding him and his city.

So to preface Kenja no Mago is a show which I have seen over 30x since it aired (I do not understand the rewatch mechanic on MAL).
Kenja no Mago is a somewhat unoriginal isekai that has fun with what it is. Starting with the MC, hes a bit thick skulled and not the most aware of what is and is not normal which the show plays with a lot specifically in regards to power and romance, but the people and world around him in general. The main appeals of KnM would be similar to shows such as Misfit of DK Academy and similar where he ...

Mixed Feelings
I have never been this type of person. The one to say, " Read the manga." Mostly because I didn't really read enough manga. However, after watching this show, I really wanted to read the manga so know what happens next. Well, after catching up with the manga, I had to re-score this adaptation. Like they really didn't do the manga justice at all. I believe season one covers the first 15 chapters but there is only like four chapters worth of information in this anime. I wouldn't be made except that this whole anime was rushed. ...

I came back here after watching the iseleve anime, I just wanted to raise the rating of this anime a little above the anime. because after I watched Iseleve, I realized there are anime out there that are much more cringe than this anime. in terms of story, I think this anime is better than Iseleve, it's just that in terms of visuals, I think it's lacking. indeed, today's isekai anime has a strange and cringe story, almost all isekai anime that I have met today have a story that can be said to be almost the same.



but the conclusion to this anime is of ...
