Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu (Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy-)

As part of a mysterious contract agreed upon by a goddess and his parents years ago, Makoto Misumi finds himself sent to another world to meet the goddess and become the hero. However, the deity deems Makoto to be "hideous," refusing to even lay eyes upon him and revokes his heroic title. Disdainfully giving him the ability to understand all languages except the human language as compensation, the goddess drives Makoto off to the farthest edges of the wasteland, far from human civilization.

Due to the disparity between Earth and this new world, Makoto's inherent physical and magical capabilities awaken, making him extremely powerful. He meets various demihumans and mythical beings who all end up being captivated with his characteristics and join Makoto in building a new community where all of them can peacefully coexist.

Nevertheless, despite this success, Makoto still yearns to meet fellow humans. In a world where the goddess herself has barred him from interacting with his kind, it is up to Makoto and his companions to fulfill his desire—and perhaps reform society along the way.

tl;dr: An anime that’s a lot of fun but is moving really slowly in progressing or fleshing out anything of substance.

Tsukimichi is an isekai that’s plays with a lot of the standard tropes of the genre, though not quite to the point that it becomes a parody. The protagonist Misumi Makoto, in standard isekai fashion, was summoned by the goddess of another world to serve as a hero to fight against demons. However, upon the goddess actually seeing him, she calls him hideous and punts him off to the edge of the world. Thankfully, even though the goddess of the new world he arrived at ... turned out to be a bitch, the god of his old world had his back and gave Makoto all the power he could muster. That combined with a few other factors result in Makoto fitting quite well into the typical overpowered protagonist role you often see in the genre. As such, the anime is full of the standard scenes you would expect from such a protagonist, such as always appearing weak but shocking everyone in how powerful and capable he is.

As he journeys through the new world he finds himself in, he finds various allies. Most notably the two that he forms contracts with, Tomoe and Mio. Tomoe is a Greater Dragon with the power to manipulate memories, who upon examining Makoto’s memories quickly becomes enamored with period dramas and becomes a wannabe samurai. Mio is some sort of super spider that loves eating and getting hit, and seeing as Makoto is one of the few that’s strong enough to actually hurt her and apparently tastes quite good, she becomes his loyal servant. It should be noted that both of them turn into beautiful women that are incredibly in love with Makoto and aren’t afraid to show it, especially Mio with her constant jealousy. It should also be noted that while the two of them aren’t anywhere near as powerful as Makoto, they’re still incredibly powerful in the context of the world, and thus have a lot of overpowered moments of their own.

The plot of this season involves Makoto building up the demiplane, a subspace outside the bounds of the world that Tomoe can create that was originally small nothingness, but due to the power from her contract with Makoto turned into a vast forest with ecology resembling Earth’s. Makoto recruits a number of demi-human species to begin living there and ultimately plans to form a trading company that’ll set up trade with human cities. In the process he gets involved with various situations that have decent, though incredibly simplistic, plots. But what really carries the anime is the comedy that’s pretty constant and amusing throughout. There’s also some action, but other than the final battle, it’s played more for humor than for the actual action. Still, the last episode is pretty epic and felt like a good way to end the series.

While this anime is a pretty fun ride, what felt lacking was how it doesn’t really seem to have any depth, or at least not yet. The thing is that it does have a lot of aspects that seem to have a lot of complexity to them that it’ll likely tackle eventually. For example, it touches upon the themes of racism and religious zealotry resulting in bigotry against demi-humans but doesn’t really do much with them yet. There seems to be some deep seated trauma or complex in Makoto involving a girl from his old world named Hasegawa, but beyond showing that it exists nothing is really explained yet. Furthermore this seems to be a roadblock that’s preventing him from any relationship development with Tomoe or Mio either despite their best efforts so there’s no depth there either. There’s some major conflict starting up between the humans and demons, which is after all why Makoto was summoned to the new world in the first place, but that too is essentially just background noise for the most part without really being fleshed out at all. Now, slowly building up to things is perfectly fine and at an individual level I have no problem with the storyline taking it’s time to progress on any of these aspects, but holistically not moving anything at all results in things feeling somewhat hollow.

The art and animation are pretty solid. The character designs are for the most part just okay and pretty generic, but there are a few that stand out pretty well, mainly Tomoe and Mio’s. The OP has a great song and visuals, and the EDs are okay in both regards. The soundtrack works well enough but wasn’t particularly memorable.

Mixed Feelings

Butchered. The source is great but C2C's adaptation here, is not.

The Big Problem - Story

If you watch it for yourself, read the reviews or even read some of the source material, the general sentiment is that, the show's best moments lack emphasis, or any staying power. 12 episodes were simply not enough to flesh out the breadth and depth of this story.

The pacing is just awful. Too fast, too many cuts too many plot points left hanging unexplained. Poor pacing breaks the golden immersion factor. The type of captivation which abducts the viewer forcing them endlessly through scores of episodes. The best examples for me ...

Just the usual trash anime. A geek comes to another world an is OP. It is sad to see that this is what appeal to most people that are watching anime, but it does show that the Japanese people knows their key audience.

Make a "relatable" character, cheep comedy and give the MC alot of anime girls. Then the young audience can live their twisted fantasy of being popular with the lady.

If the show at least had some originality, but there is really nothing. If you are new to anime this show will probably be a good watch for you, but if you are looking ...
