Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki

This anime is mediocre. I will just point out the basic elements of the anime and you may decide if it is to your tastes.

Plot:
Honestly, take a paper and write down the most generic power fantasy isekai plot you can imagine. and just read that. typing it out is a waste of time. The summary is that, the strongest exorcist guy dies due to kingdom betraying him and using his students to kill him. he reincarnates in a count's home and will live a more fulfilling life by "being cunning" instead of flaunting his powers. There's some mysteries setup within the first couple episodes ... about MC's birth and stuff, there's a demon-human war going on, demon king gonna be revived or whatever etc..

MC:
MC's death in previous life is kinda like utsuro (gintama's sensei). the strongest guy killed by his students. In this life though, he's more like the MC from world's greatest assassin reincarnated. he wants to "use" other people, so that he can live is ideal life of "not being strongest". For some reason, his previous life's spiritual power and the magic in current world is different. he can't use "magic" according to this world. instead he simulates magic using "spiritual energy"??? we don't really have an explanation on why its different, but it doesn't matter anyway. He doesn't really have a personality. just that "goal" of cunning and gathering hot girls under him to further his goal (like world's greatest assassin). ofcourse, being a power fantasy, he doesn't need a personality. all he needs to say is "everything went according to plan" at the end of a fight and win.

rest of the characters:
there's a slave (maid) under MC, who is in love with MC bcoz he is a great master i guess?. there's another red haired girl similar to like eris from mushoku tensei, who might be a tsundere and wants to be strong . a family of MC with two brothers (one likes him. other is kinda like bakugo from boku no hero academia, jealous of MC). most are just NPCs who react to whatever our great MC does and be amazed.

Art and Music are nice. Unfortunately, there's really not much to praise because most of it is just going to be plot conveniences and MC planning everything in the background. there's nothing to criticize because this anime never tries to be something more than a generic power fantasy isekai, so you can't complain about whatever nonsense logic is used to move the plot forward.

I see that the One Punch Man shpiel has become hugely popular lately. Truth be told, it’s just about the only way to give a true overdog protagonist any kind of meaningful conflict. I am, of course, referring to the trope of having an overdog protagonist pose as an underdog – for whatever reason, whether by accident or design, theirs or someone else’s, the larger cast of the story does not recognize them for how powerful/competent/talented they really are.

In this particular case, the conceit is that in his previous life, our MC has become the most powerful Japanese exorcist, called and onmyouji, in history. He ... believed that if he obtained overwhelming power, nothing would be able to threaten him anymore, and as a result, he could live a peaceful and happy life without having to lose anything or anyone. Alas, though indeed no external enemy could threaten him anymore, the seeds of enmity and jealously were sown among his own allies, turning the people closest to him against him, eventually ending with his assassination. As he drew his last breath, he cast a spell to ensure his reincarnation and vowed to live more discreetly in his next life, to hide his true power, and live a quiet life as a nameless nobody among the nameless masses.

You are to, under no circumstances, make the mistake of trying to ponder the philosophical themes of the show. Is it safer to be weak and harmless or strong and dangerous?

In a sense, it’s basically a less inspired and more serious version of Eminence in the Shadow, that’s if you accept the claim that Eminence is parodic in the first place. Exorcist in Another World is nowhere near serious enough of an artistic work to warrant even a single solitary second of your intellectual labor. The premise is merely a vehicle to create an environment that lends itself to antagonists underestimating the protag, which sets them up for scenes of more or less satisfying comeuppance – nothing more, nothing less. Take it for what it is.

Point being, if you enjoyed Eminence, and if you enjoy overdog isekai stories at large, you will have a decent enough time with this show. If not, then do not waste your time. It really has nothing to offer outside of the niche appeal of its genre.

I was ready to dismiss this one as being mediocre, but I kind of liked it as it actually stuck the landing.

In many ways this is generic, bland, mediocre, and at first glance there is not much to this, but I'm not sure if this is deeper than it is, or if that is me thinking too much about things, and the problem with that starts with the ending.

By that what I mean is, through there series we get given a few subtle hints that put you down a path of thought, where you start to think "ah I can see where they are going ... with this, and it would be cool if they did do it"
Now most mediocre series are a let down because they throw away all potential and just follow the standard generic path.
This series however followed through with its promise and delivered on its ending.

Which then makes me ask, was there more to the rest of it? Or was it just bad?

So, first thing, the MC reincarnates, after being killed for being too strong...
So this time he decides to hide his true strength / abilities, and play it smart. Now if this is him playing things smart, then I hate to see things when he's being an idiot, because his decisions are the dumbest ever if he intends to keep a low profile, he keeps patting himself on the back for how he's able to keep a low profile and ensure that there are others that seem stronger than he is.
Yet the good thing about this series is, some people do seem to see through this and recognise him as being super strong anyway...
So is this intentional?

And then there is his lack of relationship with Yifa, and how he treats her. This is more than the dense protag debuff, it goes beyond being oblivious to her feelings, he's emotionally uncaring to the point that you wonder if he has emotions, and I have to ask, is this intentional?

So the problem I have is, because this is so mediocre in so many ways, and goes through the motions, can I call it decent simply because the ending was okay, and that it lived up to its promise, and because certain aspects may or may not be intentional depending on how you read into them.

Final verdict: It was okay

well this was a ride that i don't know how to express ! like first of all the starting of this anime is very good with some decent action and lore behind main characters back stories ! but as the episodes progressed the mess starts to pile like atleast that's what i felt personally ! the lore becomes confusing and somewhat uninteresting for me ! the main character choices and moments become dull for me ! all in all everything starts to crumble for me in the later half of this anime! like male lead saves some dudes who are not that important without any ... excuses but let main or partially important character to die ! fir no actual dangerous reason ! despite having so many drawbacks of this i still watched it because of the female leads i mean this is clearly harem i know that there is not clear hints but just looking at the poster it gives off the vibe of isekai harem ! so female leads and their interest towards male lead steal the interest of me ! so as for me it's - 6.2 stars / 10 stars the ending was a mess in my opinion that was not executed well in my opinion for an last episode

This is a VERY GOOD anime to GREAT... AT FIRST. It's still interesting to watch though, especially the 1st episode where they really make effort to gain more viewers for it. But as typical as it is, there's still MUCH MUCH BETTER isekai anime than this.

When other side characters, mostly females, started to appear, the craze of DISAPPOINTMENT began. The development of the character/s become TOO SLOW and the quality of the content is more like mediocare to average *hope they don't gone BAD as story progresses 😮‍💨*.

To those who are fond of cutesy cutesy girl and HAREM genre *since cutesy girl characters often ... in a harem 🙄*. This anime is most likely to be on that person's liking.

“If you don’t have anything else to watch, this might be a decent way to pass the time.”

That’s probably the best way to sum up this anime. It doesn’t bring anything particularly new to the table and ends up being a fairly generic take on the isekai genre. The main character is extremely overpowered, yet tries to avoid drawing attention—something we've seen plenty of times before.

That said, I appreciated that the protagonist isn’t portrayed as spineless or timid. His backstory as the strongest exorcist in his previous life adds a bit of depth and is a nice touch instead of him being a weakling and ... suddenly becoming overpowered.

I haven’t seen many exorcist-themed anime, so I can’t say how well this one stacks up in that subgenre. However, I did enjoy the show overall. The use of “Shiki” and how the powers differ from traditional magic was interesting and gave it a slightly different flavor.

Still, I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it. There are definitely better takes on both the isekai and exorcist themes out there. But if you're looking for something simple and entertaining to kill time with, this might be worth a casual watch.

It's a generic Isekai of Hero and Demon King, but the plot was well written and became an interesting story to watch. MC Onmyouji is an interesting differentiator that I really appreciated, but I think it could have been better explored.

Both the magical system of the anime is poorly explained and poorly explored, but the isekai world magic is very intuitive so it did not become a problem but could be better. The Onmyouji magic is less explained and explored which seems like a flaw since the story is about an Onmyouji. The MC uses a variety of spells but we don't know much about ... how it works other than some having similarities to FMA's alchemy.

The big problem with this anime is the bad animation. I'd give it a 7 for the plot, but a 4 for the animation. With the animation so bad it might be better to skip the anime and read the manga

Mediocre story, another isekai, no unique plots whatsoever. Usual art style, nothing really special. Main character thinks a little which is a little surprising but that's all, not that special or anything.
.
Let me give you an important question regarding this series. Will you let a horny rabid dog be alone with your female childhood friend that you holds in high regards? She'll potentially get attack and you knew it deep down but just decided to let it be something like "Yeah you know what? Fuck it she'll be fine regardless". That's your usual type of dense main character mainly found in Isekai genre. It's that ... stupid breed that you could find anywhere. Would you watch the show? Fuck it right? Maybe you would or nah. Who knows.
.
Once again Japanese writer shows me their loser virgin mentality. What a letdown. After getting in contact with Korean & Chinese literatures such as manhwa, manhua, and their webnovels, it became more apparent on how bad really was Japanese male main characters facing their women counterparts. What's saddening is nowadays this kind of writing became more and more enjoyed by average Japanese youth thus gaining popularity and getting serialised. Japanese male youth, what's wrong with you all? There must be something wrong with your heads...

Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki
The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World


This anime is your typical Isekai with an overpowered protagonist that everyone treats like a saint because he is the only capable person in the whole universe.
It's just like I said, only with the slight difference that the anime has a decent plot and progression. Until the last episode, there were several events that you didn't see coming and that were unusual. Likewise, the protagonist was given some depth through his background. Positive words aside, the anime remains just plain dull average after all, even though I found it interesting from time ... to time. The problem is simply that it does everything you do in a weak isekai, except that the story is a bit more mature.

The most interesting aspect of the show for me was not just the protagonist's use of alternate magic. It was the way he was trying to live his contradictory life. He wanted to prevent it from ending the same way as his previous life and talked about it so many times, yet he chose the wrong paths over and over again. It was misleading at first, but it was resolved by the end.


Unfortunately, this Anime will never be able to grow out of itself because it simply lacks essence. It's empty, there's just nothing there. Empty fights lead to nothing, except to show how strong the protagonist is. The dialogues are just written one-sided to hype the protagonist. If you could ask what the job of the other main female characters is, it would be this - "You stay right here and try to look cute". There's nothing more to it than that, they have no particular relevance and there's no moment that didn't have to be solved with their help. The protagonist could have done everything on his own and you wouldn't even need them.
Thank God the characters were average and not annoying, which makes the whole thing more bearable.

Only the last 2 episodes were really interesting, even if the result disappointed me. The anime had many decent basic ideas that unfortunately came to nothing.

I'd like to give them more, but that's beyond the realm of possibility. Compared to the protagonist, they were all just showpieces. They had minimal personality, that was it, there is nothing more behind them.
As said before, the protagonist was the one-sided dominance of this series, who gave no one else the show. Which simply allowed nothing to happen.

The animations were also very erratic, now and then they reached an above-average level and then again they were just bad. From episode 7/8 on, you saw a particular drop in quality. Backgrounds were also only average.


[Conclusion 4]

The anime is not bad and for me one of the "better" Isekai I have seen. However, it is crammed with ideas, where none was executed. Which is a shame, in more capable hands it could have been even a better Isekai than Shield Hero.

[Enjoyment 5]

Animation was mostly average, not very flashy, but not offensive. Well, the cg was especially ugly. However it was pretty consistent with no notably janky animation to speak of. Voice acting was average and annoying. No stand outs, don't like that the protagonist sounds like a girl. I don't have a problem with a woman voicing and boy, it's quite common. However, since the dub casting choice are so limited I've heard this voice actor play a multitude of female characters so can't really hear anything, but a girl the entire time. The Japanese voice acting is a little more ambiguous, which was much more ... fitting(although I only watched one scene). Yafi or whatever her name was had a terrible voice. However it overall was pretty average(slightly below) for a dub. Music was fairly average, the couple of scenes where I did noticed it was pretty good. Characters were fine, not very deep. The only character with real depth was the main character, but it wasn't really explored very much. Story was fairly basic, but the main characters mind set made it at least a little better than average. Pacing was fine, there was some episodes that felt like filler, but overall the pacing kept things feeling fresh. That being said I don't feel like we covered a lot of ground. Overall it was acceptable, not very note worthy just kind of meh. Not a waste of time to watch, but I wouldn't call it an anime worthy of your time. 5.80/10

The typical anime "a guy died as X and reincarnated in a new world as Y". However, this piece is trying to bring something new and some good ideas into this genre.

Entire story is built on top of the strongest exorcist who is using his skills instead of magic in a magic world where he got reincarnated. Trying to play lowly side character and hide his powers, he isn't always able to do so and creating some OP-like situations.

Story is giving some good ideas regarding main characters or even about world itself. Character development is something that you can bump into in almost every episode ... and it's satisfying.

BUT... I really have issue with how chaotic and different is last 1/3rd of the anime. Things are just getting chaotic, some characters are put completely into background, different ones, not interesting ones, are put in foreground. And we are starting basically a new story line as we are introduced to some new characters that are playing the major role in the rest of the story.

This is all ending in a way which is not really connected to the story or characters at the start of the anime and also feels a bit rushed for some reason. You can't even enjoy some really epic fights because they are usually stopped right before some juicy moment.

I believe this piece missed it's potential/possibilities and it's a pitty, really. Could be a lot better. Maybe S2 could fix that? Who knows... For isekai fans this might be something interesting to try but I believe there are many other and better pieces. This is not bad but it can really disappoint you.

English: When I watched this anime I thought it would be totally generic, with a "hero" and "demon king", but it honestly caught my attention for running away from the "standard" good or egocentric king, the proper king not knowing of its existence makes things more curious
The anime features a lot of "Time-skip" that pleases me even, because it does not give the feeling of bad unfolding of the story
I feel like a sequel with more to explore the past is a good one
But besides that there is not much to stand out, besides the protagonist being good, my note ... for the anime is: 7/10

PT-BR: Quando assisti esse anime pensei que seria totalmente genrico, com um "heroi" e "rei demonio", mas sinceramente me chamou atenção por fugir do "padrão" rei bonzinho ou egocêntrico, o propio rei nao saber de sua existencia torna as coisas mais curiosas
O anime apresenta bastante "Time-skip" que me agrada até, pois assim não passa a sensação de má desenrolar da historia
sinto que uma continuação com mais a se explorar o passado seja uma boa
Mas alem disso não há muito a se destacar, alem do protagonista ser bom, minha nota para o anime é : 7/10

Your average overpowered Isekai. Still a good watch but the ending was a bit rushed and didn't do enough story-telling.

I absolutely love the idea of Isekai. So, I rated this pretty high. However, the progression of the series (which felt steady and natural at first) suddenly became a rollercoaster the last couple of episodes.

I liked the idea of the plot twist towards the end of the season, but even that I felt wasn't properly ushered in. It was alluded to, surely, but to be given an episode out of the blue about it felt thrown at me. I would have liked a bit more ... story building but maybe it was going for the shock factor.

The last episode was thrown at us, definitely out of the blue. They tried explaining at the end of the episode why it happened, but it felt super out of place, at least for the world it had just began to enlighten us about.

All in all, I hope it gets another season, and that it gives us more time to see things and events surrounding the characters a bit more.

This best represents the reincarnation of the most powerful exorcist since his entry into another world. It is a typical ISEKAI anime with a hint of Japanese mythology, action and fantasy, and there were a total of 13 episodes, which I consumed in a single day, and even though it touches on the most common trait of an overpowered protagonist, it does well to be entertaining. This drama involves Seika Lamprogue, the reincarnated exorcist, who ends up within a magical world where he uses all that he knows and can bring powerful abilities to overshadow the rest in sheer ease. Fans of series like That ... Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime or Wise Man's Grandchild will find similarities here.

The anime features awesome action sequences, light comedy, and a bit of romance, but nothing groundbreaking in terms of the whole genre. The BGM as well as intro music are tolerable and not catchy enough to skip. The downfall is that Seika found it very easy to defeat each and every one so it doesn't create tension and excitement basically. The season finale is not satisfying as it does not end with a clear conclusion nor it leaves much anticipation for a second season. It is an okay one-time watch but not really in the league of Solo Leveling or Tower of God. 7 out of 10 for me-not boring, but not extraordinary either.

The Strongest Diviner with the Weakest Magic.

Guys, I don’t want to alarm anyone here, but we might be stuck in a time loop. Because I swear that this exact anime released last year under the title The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest. The strongest guy reincarnates himself into the future where he attends a magical *sigh* light novel academy and surrounds himself with a harem of questionably young looking women who are also strong, but not as strong as him, obviously? That’s the exact the same anime!

I’m being hyperbolic, obviously. Although they share scarily similar light novel DNA the way The Reincarnation of ... the Strongest Exorcist in Another World executes its premise is actually pretty enjoyable… for a while. The first arc is genuinely interesting because being a protag-kun born into a noble family as a child with no talent for magic, he has to balance being seen as powerful and book smart enough to attend noble families magic school number 1,865 and escape his abusive older brother, and keep his life interesting, whilst also not being seen as too powerful so that jealous people don’t try to murder him like they did in his previous life. Whilst the protagonist is so powerful that magic system doesn’t matter because he just destroys everyone in his way no matter who or what that may be thanks to protag-kun’s special boy plot armor, seeing an anime that highlights the differences between Western-based magic and Chinese magic is really cool.

Unfortunately, once protag-kun gets to be the irregular at magic high-school, the anime quickly becomes boring. Same old generic demon problem pops up, there’s a character with the title of “tHe HeRo”, theres a tournament arc the protagonist breezes through with no effort and a harem that surrounds him at all times, one of whom is his slave who has feelings for him and I really, REALLY hope I don’t need to explain why thats fucked up… yeah look, it’s just becomes generic light novel nonsense with bare-bones light novel animation you’ve seen a million times before.

What’s disappoints me the most about The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World is how by the fantasy light novel books it is. After a great opening arc and a show case of really cool Chinese magic, plus summons like the creepy-as-fuck monkey-thing Satori, who reads peoples minds before eating them, it’s disappointing to see something so promising become another anime in my “dropped” list.

4/10 Disappointment.

Let me tell you about "Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki" - a show that will leave you laughing at how far this fantasy genre can be stretched out. This anime is the perfect template example of the combination of action-focused power fantasy and a bit of supernatural reincarnation spice thrown in for good measure. Except now, the author used a fictional historical Japanese exorcist to be transported to yet another medieval-based otherworld.
The show follows the story of an exorcist named Kuga Haruyoshi, who is reincarnated in another world after he dies in a power conflict. As the title suggests, he is the strongest exorcist in ... his previous world and, basically, in this new world too. Reincarnated as Seika Lamprogue, he is now a young noble in a renowned family with a lineage of capable magic users.
Seika is accompanied by Yifa, one of the Lamprogue slave girls around his age, from early on in his life. Yifa is trained by Seika to be able to harness her magical aptitude. Their adventure in this season mainly focuses on his story of getting into and when he is enrolled in the magic academy. He has a group of quirky friends to 'help' him along the way. Together, they embark on action-packed adventures that involve Seika hiding his true power behind his friend's back to avoid getting assassinated in another power struggle.
One of the things that sets this show apart is its premise. The setting of a Japanese exorcist is enjoyable, and the author's usage of the possibility of such a role is spot on. It leaves the viewers wanting to know the extent of Seika's power compared with his friends. Although to be fair, the addition of romance progression into the mix (and even the choice of pairing him up with only girls) is questionable at best.
The animation is good in some scenes. Asking for smooth CG action sequences might be asking for a bit too much. But that definitely would have made the fight scenes more enjoyable to watch. The sound design is not that amazing, either. It has a faulty soundtrack that doesn't capture each scene's mood.
Overall, "Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki" is a potential delight of a unique isekai but falls short of the direction and execution of the premise. The spice of a romcom is not entertaining at all. If you're a fan of action-focused power fantasy or good old-fashioned (at this point, isekai is an old thing) supernatural hijinks, this show might warrant a watch, even if only for the premise.
