Seirei Gensouki (Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles)

When 20-year-old college student Haruto Amakawa dies in a traffic accident, he does not expect to wake up in an unfamiliar world in the body of a young boy named Rio. As their memories and personas fuse, Rio realizes that he now also possesses magical powers. He is relieved to find that his burning passion for revenge against his mother's murderers has not subsided, despite his newly changed identity.

Not soon after, Rio comes across the kidnapped princess of the Bertram Kingdom and saves her without hesitation. To express his gratitude, the king grants him the opportunity to enroll in the Bertram Royal Academy. Believing this to be a new chapter in his life, he is excited to study at this prestigious academy, but life here proves to be difficult for him, a slum-dweller surrounded by the majestic children of nobles.

It is good, reminiscent of Mushoku tensei buuuuut worse in pretty much every single way. But still it is good

University student gets trucked into the body of a 6 year old orphan. He soon after gets superpowers and goes to the local academy. I don't personally quite understand why every isekai character has to attend school, it is the middle ages my dude nobody was attending school. The kids behavior is also totally weird 8 year olds acting like high schoolers it just doesn't make much sense. "You are sullying the name of this fine institution with your baseless slander" 8 year old kid says ... that??? You know what a 8 year old kid would actually say? "PEE PEE POO POO! FORTNITE!" Weird behaviors from characters in this show. Latifa is mentally 18 years old by this point so why does she act like an 8 year old? Hell, physically she is a teenager so again, why does she act like a 8 year old? It doesnt make sense.

MC also acts in this pampering "yes sir" simp way constantly. It is normal MC stuff but in mushoku tensei they actually bring it up but here it is just accepted as fact. Gets a bit annoying.

MC becomes laughably OP as well, dude becomes Goku or something halfway through the season like what?? Rudeus is pretty OP too but never to the point of it becoming silly. In this show MC flies around just casually and beats up a wyvern no biggy. He can also cast all elements, shoot fireballs build a bath in 10 seconds, completely busted balancing.

Events that take place are also a bit weirdly paced, MC goes to a place stays there for a while and then says "btw im leaving soon" Which causes a girl who loves MC to get really sad. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME MC GOES SOMEWHERE. Yet MC shows no interest in the girls because..... I honestly dont know. It is not explained, you dont get inner monologue or explanation so the only reasonable thing I can assume is that he isnt interested because he is in love with someone else. And this someone else is someone from the other world that he used to know. Im not a big fan of this, it has been 20 years AND YOU DIED, get over it man.

MC motivations for doing what he does are also kind of silly. He is motivated by his desire to take revenge on the guy who killed his mom (reasonable)and his desire to marry a 7 year old girl(not reasonable). Of course by now she is older than 7 years old but he made the promise to marry this 7 year old girl when he was 7 whatever, WHAT IS WEIRD ABOUT IT IS THE FACT YOU STILL REMEMBER THE PROMISE 20 YEARS LATER. In general what he does is just kind of weird, he wants to go to a place because his mom wanted to go there with him. Your mom is dead, why do you still want to go there? "Because he promised his mom" No he didnt, she just wanted to go with him, there was no promise. In mushoku tensei, Rudeuses decisions make sense. The things the characters in general made sense, here I am left wondering why the F is MC trying to cuck blonde guy? Because MC likes his professor? I don't think that is enough of a motivation frankly to plunge a kingdom on the brink of civil war to further chaos, especially as MC has shown no interest in the professor in any other way than compliments and platonic friendship. If you dont want blonde guy to marry your professor then marry her first is all, polygamy is accepted in this world so go right ahead bro.

It is alright but motivations are weird, pacing is off and taking into account by season 2 MC has become the most powerful guy in the universe or something I don't know where it is headed. ALSO FOR A HAREM SHOW THERE IS DISTURBINGLY LITTLE HAREM SETUP. Rudeus got laid by end of season 1 this guy has some catching up to do

Mixed Feelings

All I can say about the anime is it is very cliche, you definitely seen some of the most common plot and troupes in anime and yes, they are all *almost* here. Some of the examples are being reincarnated by "train-kun", being the lowest status and getting bullied by royalties, cute girls, op mc and many more.

If you don't like that then you definitely shouldn't watch the show but (very bias opinion coming), my take on this one is I personally enjoyed it. It's pretty fun and it's called fantasy for a reason, maybe it has overused troupes but it definitely has a good story ...

It's crazy how people think this is actually good, they clearly never watched actual good anime, you can see right away that this came out of a low quality manga.

I'll make this quick: low budget and limited OST, low tier animation (i don't mind tbh), low effort making the story hence screaming with cliché, 0 to nothing character development (i wouldn't expect much from a isekai doe), all girls have the same annoying loli voice, they forgot to add logic and emotions to the characters, mc saves everyone (girls) without coming up with any plan, basically superman without kryptonite, 0 thrill, 0 story, 0 comedy, ...
