Tensei Kizoku, Kantei Skill de Nariagaru

After passing away, a Japanese office worker finds himself reincarnated in another world as Ars, the newborn son of the noble Louvent family. The Summerforth Empire, where the Louvents rule over a small territory of a few thousand people, is a medieval-like land plagued by social inequality and political instability. As Ars grows older and learns more and more about his new environment, he becomes convinced that war will soon erupt.

Fortunately, though Ars was not blessed with unrivaled strength or extraordinary magical aptitude, he does possess Appraisal: a seemingly unique skill that allows him to instantly grasp someone's current abilities and latent talents merely by looking at them. In an effort to prepare his domain for the imminent strife, Ars resolves to enlist the most exceptional people he can find, paying no attention to superficial qualities like race or social status.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

One of the most unique isekai I've ever seen. It's not just an mc power change, or a wack world building change, but a completely different take on how to approach fantasy isekai story. The MC isn't OP in any combat abilities in any unique ways, but instead have the ability to see people weakness and strength then need to learn to forge good relations or bad one with them, is such a fun premise. It will more focus on mind games, psychology, and politics, more than fighting.

Recommend for: Mind games, Politics, Character, Directing

Full review:
THE Potential CONS:
Lets get the cons out of the way first. ... First of all, it's production quality is pretty average for an isekai standard. Not that bad that it make you question in the middle of the show, so good enough to support the show [7/10]. So if you enjoy flashy scenes, or epic OST, this might not be for you. There's no prominent story line, other than to grow stronger right now, and is a pretty shenanigans story[6/10], so depends on you if you like that or not, however, the character IS what making this story shine, which will be talked about on the next section.

THE PROS:
The characters in this anime is VERY good. As you might expect from the gimmick of the story, it's about having the right people, and making the right conversations, so of course you would need good character to pull that off since it's literally the gimmick. So every named characters, have some pretty good writing, with non 1 dimensional writing. Most side character and the small villains right now seem a bit still pretty 1 dimensional, as they serve just from scene to scene. So overall very good [9/10].

Next is the directing. Even with the average production quality as it would go after the budget, the directing still shines through, and make you FEEL for the show, the characters, and the story. It's very reminiscence with Frieren, where the directing focus on the journey, the beautiful music and scenery, the life of the people of the land, and the powerful talking, overall mix in for the maximum feels and is very aw inspiring [10/10]. The pacing is also perfect! Not too boring but also have progressions. [9/10]

Lastly is the psychology. With in just 3 episodes, they prove that they can make good and realistic talks, mind games, and writing. The protagonist doesn't get it easy in this show. Even with his appraisal skills, he still need to talk to them, most characters have their own circumstance, they won't be win over that easy, so he would need to adapt, and learn to understand people for the better. [10/10]

IN CONCLUSION:
This show have very good gimmick, with the characters, the story, and the directing to support that gimmick and story to the fullest. The production quality might be average, but it's good enough with the very good directing that it is very enjoyable.

Recommendation:
If you like journey animes, with characters development, feel good vibes, and portray the nature of human being (the good, the bad, and the reality) very well. This show is SOOOO for you. [If you enjoy Frieren, u might like this too]

Overall score as an Fantasy Adventure Isekai: 9/10
General score as an anime: 7.8/10

Mixed Feelings

Well-written

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Another day, another isekai. But so far at least this one seems to keep away from the worst offending usual trappings. The MC is not OP from episode 2 onwards, does not look like it is going into Harem direction, and the MC is somewhat unique.

And I don't even know why they had to make this an isekai. We're told the MC is a reincarnated something or other, but that is already forgotten halfway through chapter one. For all intents and purposes, the MC is just a child with higher-than-average IQ and a magic skill.

The graphics department is... OK, I guess? Although the color palette ... is too muted to my taste, it gives it some bland, generic feeling. And 'generic' is a word I'm going to be typing a lot in this review.

Audio and music are... forgettable, nothing to write home about.

The story is somewhat interesting although the worldbuilding is generic as it comes. The world is a single continent shaped like an island (boooring), split into multiple semi-autonomous kingdoms. Your run of the mill middle ages society (closer to Renaissance seeing the cities) where the Emperor is not really that powerful and has to thread carefully with the local kings. And war is at the doorstep with the current Emperor being a child with not one but several advisors with conflicting agendas, and the kings smelling weakness like sharks smelling blood on the water.

To its credit, the anime shakes things a bit by putting our MC as the child of not one of those kings but two steps down the ladder. His family runs just a little district inside one of those kingdoms. They are bannermen, basically. Lowest you can be and still call yourself 'noble'. They have a nice house, a few servants, enough soldiers to at least have some infantry, archers and cavalry... and that's it. The father is smart enough to see that war is coming so they seem to be preparing for it (or at least training a lot) and, when the MC starts showing his "instinct" to see what people are good for, he is happy to see his child has some skills and is not totally useless.

The characters are... serviceable? MC is smart and basically a good guy, and realizes that a healthy kingdom is one with good economy and no poverty. Then we have generic highborn dad, generic male fighter, and now in chapter three generic slave mage girl. But none of them are idiots and their actions and decisions make sense, so there is that.

This anime looks so far to be leaning more towards "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" than the more action-focused counterparts, with the MC building a team and taking a more managerial position himself, which is nice for a change but nothing groundbreaking.

All in all, it has some potential. But I fear that the unique strong points in this anime are weighted down by being soooo utterly generic in every other aspect. Generic feudal setting, generic magic system, generic people (at least we don't have cat-girls for fanservice once again, though), generic 'discriminated minority with just darker hair', generic everything. Even the 'child protagonist' is generic by now with Mushoku Tensei, The Apothecary Diaries & others. But let's see how the season pans out, episode three was fun after all.

I can tell that the Japanese producers believed if it's and Isekai, it will be popular.

However, it's not. The plot is ass; it's so boring. Even after four episodes, there's still no development.

The art is disappointing; it's what I would expect from a 2015 anime.

The characters are as unique as a brick; they leave zero impressions and are terrible all around.

Don't watch this; trust me, it's terrible.

... To summarize, it's bad. It reminds me of "In Another World with My Smartphone" - complete garbage.

If you watch this, you will surely regret it. There is no plot, no character uniqueness, and all in all, it's terrible.
