Synopsis

An arrogant scientist awakens in the middle of a muddy pigpen, and the last thing he remembers is eating a raw pig liver and collapsing in the subway. He quickly gathers that he has turned into a pig and is now in a strange fantasy land. As he struggles to grasp reality, a young girl named Jess comes to his aid. Jess happens to be a Yesma—a discriminated class of servants distinguished by their telepathic abilities and the silver collars around their necks. Despite his inappropriate thoughts about her, Jess makes sacrifices for his sake, and the pig resolves to repay her the best he can within the limits of his new body.

But Jess' generosity does not absolve her from the prejudice the Yesmas face daily, and the pig begins to suspect that Jess is in greater danger than she thinks. While he wants to visit the royal capital and beg the king to change him back into a human, the pig realizes that he cannot simply turn his back on his kind savior.

I like this anime for the character's charm, the simple story, and the fun and unique idea of a man being turned into a pig. The art style was good and fit with the anime. The storyline didn't have too many cheches, but I will have to say it will get dark at some moments in the anime. The characters in the anime react to situations and events in realistic and clever ways. Being a pig he needs to plan out how to get out safely without or Jesse getting hurt.

The series has some minor flaws, but if you enjoy a silly isekai, I ...

ButaReba - I'm telling you, man, the Isekai Reincarnation shows have gone bonkers.

By this time, I don't really need to tell you what reincarnated Isekai shows are like; it's the same doofus premise that we've seen time to time again. But, in a case of silver lining, there's the "I turned into XXX" plotline, which gives a somewhat refreshing take to the reincarnation angle. From 8-bit's Tensei Slime franchise (which has continued to go strong even as the series hits its 10th anniversary in 2024) to Studio Gokumi X AXsiZ's last Summer's offering of Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou a.k.a Reborn ...

Initially I was interested in the first story being wrapped in mystery, and the magic system that uses crystal stones.However, after following all the episodes until waiting for the last episode which made me wait 1 month.My enjoyment turned into laziness with stiff animations when fighting enemies, drama stories that talked too much that annoyed me.And, the last episode where almost the entire animation is an image slideshow. I'm the type of person who likes to like all anime, but if the story point is just chat and stiff animation which makes me lazy to continue watching, sometimes I want to just finish watching it. ...
