Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki

simple tldr:
the mc was a strong diviner, shaman, exorcist etc. basically really strong mage guy..
he got killed because of his strength which feared people and got betrayed from his companions,
and so he got isekaid into a rich family without magic, but he still can use his powers from his previous life..
his father enrolls him into a mage school after showing him his powers alongside a companion maid which has some sort of fairy powers..
now he makes his moves really carefully, and looks for the hero in this new world which he is, so the new Hero has companions and won't be alone like himself..

Q: why ... did I drop it?
A: generic isekai strong guy with some sort of uniqueness,
"tries not to become the best but oh well, he still is and probably better than the hero because he's the MC and no one can stop him"

Art: 3 (man, the circle which was drawn on the ground near the school is horrendous and we got some CGI)
Sound: 5 (pretty average, VA's good and general ok I guess)
Story: 4 (strong guy, isekaid, again strong, not hero but hero's friend, likely stronger than the hero.. that's it)

What is wrong with the anime industry for real? This season honestly sucked. This particular anime has not been as bad as others, but still, the industry is going downhill. I like isekais and generic shows, but when something is overused, it just gets old. The art is mediocre, the setting is generic, and the main character... let's just say I had good hopes for him in the first few episodes, but in the end, they made him act stupid, generic, and boring. The last episode was just okay, with not-so-fancy effects on a very tight budget, everyone lived happily, and no one was killed. ... I'm tired of animes like this. If it weren't for shows as terrible as this one, they could invest their budget into making good anime or creating sequels to popular and interesting ones like Re:Zero or Konosuba. Instead, they're literally wasting money on below-mediocre shows that no one will watch again or even after a few years.

If you want an interesting show to watch, or one that isn't too serious, or at least one you'll enjoy to some degree, then this show isn't for you. So, who is this show for? What are the otaku demographics? I don't know. I would probably drop it if there was an interesting show this season. I can't even imagine Gigguk, a trash isekai anime lover, watching this garbage.

Save your time, go re-watch some actually good anime, and skip this one.

Hi guys! I have never written a review on any of the animes I've watched. But, I have to write about this thing because I do not want anyone to see this idiotic piece of trash. The beginning was well and good. But as the story progressed, it became more and more senseless. I am here after watching the 8th episode. It was the worst ever episode of any anime I have watched till now. The MC is idiotic and has no basic sense at all. It feels like watching a toddler trying to solve algebra problems. He is a reincarnate but still has no ... IQ at all. Another major problem is story is boring and has no progress at all. A whole season is just wasted trying to do nonsensical work. On the outside, it may look like OP MC is enough for us to watch this anime, but on the inside, even OP MC could not save this anime from being given a horrible rating. I respect everyone's thoughts and wishes. If you want to try your luck, you can. But I would never recommend this piece of trash. It's just a waste of time and effort. I did not want to complete it but I did because I never leave anything incomplete. It is with a very sad heart I tell you all, this is never to be recommended to anyone, even if they are very much free on time.

Ah, another isekai that had a nice idea but couldn't follow through and instead decided to shit itself and start doing weird stuff with that excrement they call story. By now we already know how generic isekai has become but this one takes the cake. Main character, despite living through another life prior to current one still thinks like a toddler and tries to mask it as him being good. In reality he comes off as exceptionally predictable and stupid character but we are suppose to not notice that somehow.

Am dropping this simply because am fed up. There's only so much I can take before ... I get disgusted and fail to keep interest. Story is so indiscernible from any other show in same genre that you will have difficulties finding it on your MAL chart to update episode watch count. Below average animation aside, characters are downright stupid and shallow. Story doesn't exist, it's just random things happen today which will be forgotten by tomorrow due to story jumping to yet another trope. First it was competition, then it was dungeon, then it was dragons, etc. And it keeps going. Trope after trope.

Everything is simply bad. Generic, uninteresting power fantasy for people with self-esteem issues and lack of human contact.

Over rated...

Pompous generic Isekai whereby the guy gets reincarnated after being too stunning in his previous life so they murdered him.So he decides to keep low profile but that didn't last long due to his natural tendency to interfere and forget his own words, now he back pedals behind the hero while being better in all avenues.

Somehow he can use previous life shamanism in his new life with no practice or experimentation. Just plug and play mentality.

Also nobody around him questions it or finds it suspicious that he invented a new magic that over powers all other magic & which has never ... been seen, all before he has even reaching puberty. Because MC's now days don't need to go through trails anymore they all just born beyond gifted & Blessed by the heavens. Leading to a lack of any real connection to the character or development.

Bunch of girls just fall in his lap with no real character development, while they fill their trope assigned roles and he acts like some protector & mentor.

The characters either come of as overly brash & stupid or overly sensitive & monotone & shallow.

Environment & battles are far to fluffy for what they trying to sell.
This is for those that think murder & killing demons is a child game with no blood or gore it would actually take.

They handle every enemy easily without effort because of some OP guides training tips while pretending elite skills can be picked up in a day.

Can't say Im impressed with the cutie, slash sensitive audio actors take on the characters either.

The world feels extremely limiting, generic
Art and CGI also cuts corners and is just the below standard animation and art we expect in most under budget shows meant to generate income more than leaving a legacy to be remembered.

There are many other problems I care not to write about for this websites Text box for imputing the review seems to lag heavily when I type too many words, to the point I need to wait 1min for the webpage to catch up to the words I typed before showing me what I have typed into my Keyboard. Ok maybe 20secs but I can't understand why this happening unless what we type is being live streamed to their severs.
Anyone Else Having this issue

Before I started watching this show, I read several reviews about how bad it was. But I still persisted on watching it because I liked the plot and the whole Exorcist in Magic world thing. But that was a grave mistake. I should have listened to the reviewers.

Pro
+Good art and animation
+Decent Romance (with the yellow haired Slave)

Con
-Extremely bad plot development
-Extremely bad world building and magic system
-One of the worst climax I had witnessed
...
Now, this review is mostly just my ranting rather than a proper review. I just finished the show and I just couldn't hold back myself from criticizing it. It's probably because I went against the public opinion to watch this series because I liked the settings. But was disappointed in the end. I'll try my best to avoid major spoilers (But there is nothing to spoil in the first place, it's just a generic Isekai)

Plot: Most of the plot just doesn't make sense. To start off, the MC is as powerful as a God, there is nothing he can't do. He is literally immortal and can even bring the dead back to life. Yup he can cast Rinne Tensei without any cost or efforts. So how the heck did he die in his previous life!?? Anyway, he got reincarnated and wants to live a life as a weak person, because he doesn't want to attract too much enemies. But in the next scene, he "stages" a fight in front of everyone to show off how powerful he is, just so he could join a magic school! Note here that he doesn't have any magic power and there is no reason for him to learn about magic in the first place. Even after 13 episodes, I still don't get why he wanted to join the magic school.

Character: MC is just retarded and he had constant mood swing. He doesn't even know what he want to do, or why he does what he does. And FYI, the MC ain't some teenager from earth who got hit by Truck-kun. He's an old teacher with several disciples, and already has a wife in his previous life. But the Author probably forgot this mid way, so you'll never see the MC acting wise or respectful in any of the situations. The remaining characters are all just common Isekai topes like the Red haired Tsundere, White haired Kurudere, Half-elf slave, etc. But those girls and their backstory are are only things that kept me watching till the end.

Now, the thing that got me infuriated was the Climax aka the last 2 Ep of the series. If you are planing to watch the series anyway, I suggest you to just skip the last 2 eps, that's if you still want to keep your sanity intact. But here's a summary of what happens in Climax: The demons and humans had been in harmony for a very long time and both of them wants to continue this peace. But the birth of the Hero (Red haired Tsundere) after several hundred years causes the balance of power to be broken. Neither the Human Kingdom, not the Demon Kingdom wants the War, so both of them decides to get rid of the Hero (who threatens their peace). Now, the MC (if he had even a shred of wisdom) could have resolved the situation in many peaceful ways. But he decides to annihilate the Demon Embassy and slaughter hundreds of (innocent) human knights to rescue the girl. Not even considering the impact it could have on their family, friends and relatives. The story ends with both of them eloping into some neutral lands after escaping from the battlefield. And the other 2 girls were also waiting in the neutral lands for him. A perfect harem ending.

TLDR: This story felt like it was written by a middle school dropout who had social phobia and hated his family for no reason. The series is about himself fantasizing about world domination and being surrounded by harem.

The unoriginal and emotionless Isekai, by definition, is starting to seriously wear me out with these works that bring nothing to the industry. This entire piece is overdone and repetitive. The only thing that sets it apart is the past of Seika, its main character, but this aspect is underdeveloped in the plot, even though it was, for me, the only idea with potential in this work. They didn't even bother to play on this and make it an important element in the plot and story... Speaking of the plot of this anime, let's talk about it:

There, I'm done. Nothing more to say about the ... plot of this anime. Like any good trash Isekai, there's no long-term plot, no specific goal or real objective. We simply follow the main character going from place to place without really knowing why in the end.

Like any good trash Isekai, they'll do everything to make you love the main character with fanservice by giving him some "badass" moments where he'll show that he's the strongest and can beat everyone. But OH, we're in a trash Isekai, so nothing serious should happen to the protagonists in the end. And if the villains are humans, they'll come back to life; if they're monsters, it's okay, we can let them die!

Like any good trash Isekai, you'll have recyclable and reusable backgrounds, lifeless settings seen in 4,623,745,623 other animes, characters without significant distinguishing elements. Seika stands out slightly due to his past, as I explained at the beginning, but it is poorly utilized.
The animation isn't disastrous but rather flat. It's worth noting the attempt at "fake 3D" on certain elements like the horses/carriage (if you pay attention, you won't see anything else because it's so ugly, but hey, they deserve credit for trying).
Musically, whether it's the Opening, the Ending, or any of the OST, I saw absolutely nothing noteworthy.

I wouldn't recommend this soulless work, copied from dozens of other animes.

Isekai, the so-called: Genre with limitless potential and stories has now devolved into a factory assembly line churning out recycled magic and fantasy tropes that have lost their appeal when presented in traditional fantasy narratives.

We find ourselves encountering the same tired elements in every Isekai story, with a feeble attempt at novelty by introducing minor variations, such as having the main character be an exorcist. Lord help us...


It's starting to feel like these stories are being mass-produced to meet the demands of platforms like Crunchyroll and other desperate streaming services for clients, resulting in a lack of effort, originality, and memorable characters.


Anyways. skip.

Overall it was ok, but it felt disjointed. I did not get the point of going to school if the MC is going to be out and about solving mysteries and problems. The school part makes no sense if they are not actually attending school, then they keep introducing characters left and right, so it makes the story even more convoluted and all over the place!!!! Maybe the writer suffers from ADD and in the middle of writing he saw a "squirrel" and lost the train of thoughts in between. These stories need to be more focused...I know it is just anime, but still there ... is no reason to put trash out there when the story could have been good since the actual main idea was kinda great. Sadly, I don't think I will be watching the sequel, if any. Hope you enjoy it more than I did!

Yes it's another Isekai western fantasy anime fresh from the assembly line. We have the same recycled tropes here. Overpowered protagonist with zero personality who behaves like a child, even with a whole lifetime of experience. Harem. Magic School. Hero. Demon King. Ham-fisted demon or elf racism moralizing. No clear oveararching conflict, plot, or antagonist because it's designed for only one season, with a vague cliffhanger at the end in case it gets popular enough for a sequel. The gimmick of this particular isekai anime is right in the name. He's an exorcist of Japanese lore, so he can do all the exorcist stuff like ... throw paper talismans and summon ayakashi monsters. The battles and spell effects are actually the most impressive part of the anime. Unfortunately, they are wasted on short, one-sided fights with no resistance. The show would have been interesting if they had given the plot breathing room instead of allowing the protagonist to merely blink to solve all problems, nipping it at the bud before even allowing it to even bloom. The MC is especially irritating with his smug smile and know-it-all air. The biggest twists in the show are heavily foreshadowed, and the MC constantly contradicts himself in claiming how he wants to keep a low profile, but ultimately just does something flashy. He mostly speaks drivel as logic or even the semblance of wisdom is cast aside on a whim to keep things "unpredictable". They try hard to give him a sense of moral ambiguity and the bad boy, anti-hero charm, but he just ends up being an erratic psycho that the other characters won't stop characterizing as "kindness". It's just as bad as every other edgy, anti-hero protagonist from before.

Another day, another mediocre Isekai...how many of these must we trough our way through before these average shows are the bane of the AniManga industry as it is today, being oversaturated with shit like these?

Novelist Kiichi Kosuzu's Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki a.k.a The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World, is exactly what it sounds like: the same dumbass power fantasy Isekai that you've seen a thousand times over, wondering why does Japan love the hell about shit like these that the rest of the world know not of its demise. Unfortunately, being people that don't dictate how the AniManga industry works, we ... the audience only have one thing to do: watch or drop the shows, that's the best to give a teeny fraction of our distaste for generic Isekai.

Let's cut to the chase: the typical case of strong and noble characters, some being backstabbed and betrayed, which so happens to be the case for the world's strongest exorcist Haruyoshi Kuga, wanting to achieve an even higher power, at the cost of his very own life. And play the usual Isekai-laden death and reincarnation phase, with Kuga himself reborn as Seika Lamprogue, the usual oddball kid of unusual proportions and a disproportionate level of spirit magic...because that's the only generic way of making him stand out. Despite this, Seika is still armed with the elements of his past life: mainly his talisman and Jutsu...because (once again), the MC has always to be built different as such, that in the same way, makes him stand out too...in the most OP-est of ways impossible to be conceived in the fantasy world, because neither his allies nor his enemies understand his mystical techniques.

Combine that with the fact that the supporting cast are all Mary Sues on their own right, it feels like an insult to the viewers, not just on the basis of characters being bland for no good reason. You have Yifa the slave (which thinking now, seems counter-intuitive of defining how good or bad a show can be), Amyu the supposed Hero, and Mabel Crane the 3rd-party disguise of the Hero, especially when in the typical world like this of "heroes vs. demons" where having one Hero is trouble enough for the Demon Lord's army to act. Though Yuki the weasel demon is the exception of beng Seika's familiar in the reincarnated world, recognizing that he is her master, the rest of the girls play up on Seika's kind-hearted fancy, though Yifa is the closest that she grew up with him, and has the same typical romantic interest as you'd expect. Bland and generic is what the characters are, with no personality to them.

Studio Blanc is a rather small studio with not a lot of shows to their name, though the last work of Summer 2021's Uramichi Oniisan is a nice addition. And this production is seemingly like Studio Comet's "Eiyu-Oh" Isekai show this season, better than it actually deserves with actual work put into the show. Though at the expense of the show itself being generic as molasses, it felt like a +1 on the studio's catalogue of potential shows wasted.

Probably the only positive about the show is the OP itself. angela's "Reconnection" is a fairly good song, albeit with rather average visuals, and likewise with the character VAs of Yifa, Amyu and Mabel's ED song that is though influenced with the show, just your traditional "lover's (love)song" with the aforementioned MC Seika himself.

Man, to say that this show overall was forgettable is truly an understatement. There were clearly too many Isekai shows this season, and while this show didn't exactly hit the bottom of the barrel, though it's watchable, it was borderline bad. So, I'd say: pick your poison and see if you can tolerate the amount of cliché convenience plots that this show has before you ultimately give up the show for what it is.

I personally don't know why people find this good, but it's just legit "so bad it's bad" trash Isekai.
