Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga.

During a school trip, a bus full of students is suddenly transported to another world by a sage named Sion. She bestows most of the students with powers called Gifts, seeking to recruit them to become sages as well. However, a few are excluded from receiving a Gift, resulting in the others leaving them behind.

Yogiri Takatou, one of the students who did not receive a Gift, wakes up to find a dragon attacking the bus. Amidst the chaos, he executes the dragon using his innate ability to instantly put anything to death. Alongside fellow survivor Tomochika Dannoura, Takatou sets out to find a way back to Earth, all while eliminating anyone who dares to underestimate him—including his former classmates.

This anime is hilarious, and I don’t get what people don’t get when watching it. The title was a huge turnoff for me and so was avoided for mad long but.. wow was I wrong to make assumptions. I can only imagine that the people who hate this had gone in expecting like.. any other average tier isekai out there and were taking it seriously

So what is it that makes it so great? Where do I begin? Essentially the main plot is “OP MC is chill as fuck, but everyone wants to kill him since he’s so OP” or maybe even “People trying so ... hard to stop the end of the world that they’re inadvertently causing the end of the world”

Despite the ridiculousness of the show, the main characters were some of the best. Actually, they were probably one of the most level headed and rational main characters of the genre and they worked together without all that extra drama.

They do trials, go adventuring, survive zombie apocalypse, go through a tower.. honestly it covers much of the isekai plots out there. It’s a well done parody.

Did y’all ever watch Scary Movie? I mean.. if you’re an adult and this is relevant.. anyways, Scary Movie was hella dumb and didn’t make sense. It just crammed a ton of horror flick tropes and references into a recognizable movie and was honestly pretty funny at the time. Well, Instant Death is to isekai what Scary Movie was to horror.

And just as Scary Movie had many sequels, I hope Instant Death will too 😂

Mixed Feelings

First, there was isekai. Then when people got bored of that, came the joke isekai that made fun of the whole thing. And then came the anti-isekai, the genre deconstructions that turned the whole premise onto it's head, etc etc...

And now, we have the post-isekai, where the rules go straight out the window and whatever happens, happens. I mean, this is one of those entire-paragraph-title anime that says all you need to know right on the tin. Dude gets isekai'd, wakes up in another world, but instead of embarking on the Hero's Journey or having some weird/funny ability or modern day technology, he just has ... the ability to kill anything instantly. Period. That's it. No chanting, no straining, no casting, no flashy animations, the guy just says "Die!" and the target just keels over, dead as a doornail. No explosions, no dragged out screaming and deathrattles, no bursting into sprays of blood and guts, just...dead. Works on literally everything. Hordes of bad guys, dragons, gods, unimaginable forces of evil, whatever it is, just gets unalived at the drop of a hat. No drawbacks, no limits, no rules, the guy literally just kills things, anytime, anywhere.

If that sounds insanely boring, well, it is. But it's also pretty entertaining in a weird way. The MC is as bland and bogstandard as it gets. He is also the most reasonable and likeable MC I've seen in basically any isekai, ever. He has one simple goal: he just wants to go home. He doesn't want to engage in any of the isekai fantasy otherworld hero's journey pseudo-video-game BS, he doesn't care about heroes and monsters, good vs evil, gods and demons, ethics and morals, one world-ending armageddon or another, the dude just simply wants to leave. He is not a murderous psychopath, a fish-out-of-water idiot, a flamboyant edgelord or some weird mix of these, he is just a simple dude who is over all this BS. He is not violent or angsty, but he is not over just straight up killing anything that threatens him. The one other skill he has - other than instant murder - is he can sense if anyone wants to kill him, and of course kill them right back whatever or wherever they are. This, aside from making him basically immortal, just removes any and all excitement when you realize just how low stakes are.

The rest of the story is just an incoherent mess. What makes the whole thing funny is just how desperately everyone else around him is trying to make the whole fantasy video game isekai stuff happen. Medieval kingdoms, dragons, spells, heroes fighting demons, leveling up, zombie apocalypse, resurrecting unimaginable ancient evil, blademasters, wizards, tournaments, you can find basically every single trope in here. And the MC is just over all this, he literally walks right through all that with a "no, thanks". I mean, some insanely powerful ancient evil keels over mid-monologue, dead, because MC was bored of their BS. It's stupid and very funny at the same time.

They try to cobble together some semi-coherent backstory, the MC being some ultimate alpha-omega embodiment of fate or something, but even the anime gives up halfway in a "whatever, you don't care, we don't care" kinda way. I mean it doesn't really matter, does it? The MC is just it's own plot device, pointing out just how ridiculous the whole concept is, which I can totally get behind.

In summary, is this a good anime? No. It's aimless, boring, incoherent and bland, cramming as many isekai tropes in a single anime as humanly possible and setting it all on fire. This anime doesn't just turn the isekai to 11, no, it rips off the friggin dial, stomps it to pieces and then pisses on it. There is fun to be had, watching the MC completely disregarding all the implied rules and laws of isekai and just side-stepping all that stuff. If you can turn off your brain and take it for what it is, it could be a reasonably fun time.

At one point the "chef" class character makes an unexpectedly impressive attack. The villain is taken aback: "how?" The chef replies, "because as a chef I must have the power to cut through any ingredient". If that was energy of the series this would be a real winner, like some kind of Isekai Excel Saga. But alas, it was one of it's few funny moments.

Despite being labeled a parody, this story actually takes itself like 95% seriously. It focuses a huge amount of story on the MC's backstory and powers, and seems far more concerned with the details and implications ... around crafting the most OP possible character than actually playing with any tropes.

Here's an idea: if you actually want to parody the genre maybe MC just has the power as part of the usual isekai process. There's a "chef" class, an "OP insta death" class, etc and the summoner god is like "oops" as MC accidentally kills them. That's fun. It immediately lambasts all the isekai that spend 50+ episodes building to revenge on the summoning god. This anime though? Just a boring justification of an OP character, who has a (mostly) boring power and rather thoroughly boring personality.

EP11 was pretty funny though. 5/10.
