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.

I really don't understand why people keep giving such low ratings to anime like this one, and at the same time one of the most boring anime ever produced, like Sousou no Frieren, is currently Top 1.

Reincarnated Aristocrat is just good. The main idea is very similiar to Realist Hero, Genius Prince, Finest Assassin, Slime, Overlord. (watch these last five if you haven't yet).
It's a political world buildind show where, instead of the MC being OP or a smart genius, he's a normal person reincarneted with one simple but useful ability: detect people's talent.

He'll recruit raw diamonds people, warrior, magician, strategy 1, strategy 2, ... diplomatic etc to surrond himself with valuable and loyal individuals that will help his small feud thrive during times of was and turbolence.

The only downside for this anime is that the main character isn't someone you fully fall in love with. He's a bit too naive for my taste: doesn't kill anyone and wants to build "a world with no wars where every child can smile". This minor defect is fully balanced by the personalies and entertainment of the side characters he discovers and recruits. They hurt bad guys and are more realistic than their naive master. But they love him exactly because of his naiveness and kindness.

It's just good. Watch it. The real score should be an 8. I gave it a 9 to counterbalance the ungratefull hypsters that keep downgrading Isekais just because "It's just another isekai with the same plot. My tastes are so elevated and pure that i score 10 to Sousou no Frieren to feel better and more educated".

Mixed Feelings

Welcome to another episode of: Why the HELL is this isekai?

Let me preface by saying it's a fantastic series, but let's talk about what's the main point of an Isekai anime. It's to utilize the knowledge from our world in a more permeative setting, thus bringing unlikely scenarios like pitching a dragon against a rocket launcher. If we take out the first minute of the first episode, this anime has ZERO isekai elements attached to it and becomes a relatively decent low fantasy story.

Recently the concept of Isekai has been reduced to either:
1. Gain some bullshit OP ability that nobody else in the world have.
2. ... "Wow everything works just like a video game!" with the more stupid ones even having the HUDs and skill points.
3. They just want to have isekai in the title, nothing the MC does differs from people of this world.

This series falls victim to all three to some extend. First, instead of having a good backstory or world building, MC's bullshit (but not really OP) high fantasy power is granted when he got isekai-ed into a low fantasy world. Then the power manifests in a way that can only be applied to video game logics, with different class and skills accompanying a numeric value and rank to each one. And finally he does absolutely nothing special with his previous life's knowledge, except for some obscure references inside of his own head.

I usually rate shows very generously, so as long as they don't bore me to death they earn a passing grade. That being said the show is an easy 8/10 with great visuals, story, and character design. But I'm inclined to give it a 7 or even 6 due to the massive wasted potential, the literal clickbait title, and the lazy attempt at giving the MC special power with the excuse of Isekai. As a true Isekai connoisseur who would watch any isekai no matter how trash they are, this is both a surprising delight at how good it is and a disappointment at the fact that THIS SHIT IS NOT ISEKAI.

Imma say it, Kanseiskill is quite bad. Most people seemed to have dismissed it as a 'It was a pretty good anime, different from the usual isekai trash', but I beg to differ, while risking this being my longest and most garbage review, hear me out. The story follows a 35 years old npc who died and is now reincarnated as an aristocrat with an advanced stat viewer. The premise has promise, for the first few episodes, I went in with the 'let them cook' mentality. The MC isn't a dense, self insert, OP fucktard who goes 'Whoopsie daisy, did I do something :0?', ... after firing a spell strong enough to wipe out a city. The MC doesn't have a harem of one dimensional girls reassuring him at every step, craving the gear stick and emphasizing how 'kind' he is every single fucking episode. The MC is not a powerhouse, and the anime is focused more on the 'world building', 'political' and 'character driven' aspect of the shows, which already makes it unique in the world of copy paste isekais, so that must mean its at least a decent anime right? No.

The GOOD: Blink and you might miss it. The MC hasn't fucked kids (yet). It's different from the usual isekai. The side characters are likable and fleshed out(for the most part), they were by far the best part of the show. I enjoyed every time they were on screen, especially Rietz. There are genuine emotional payoffs with great setup, especially the midpoint of the anime, it was tastefully done with overindulging, and ngl, it hit me in the feels. The animation is good. The pacing is good overall. The anime doesn't make you want to kill yourself(most of the time).

The BAD: Our MC is a 35 year old salary man who bit the dust because he was overworked to the point of death, he reincarnated in another world with inferior technology and knowledge, and an extremely unique skill that only he possesses. You would think that a person who lived the life he did, would bring a more jaded, realistic, and mature world view into this fantasy world. Using brain over brawn, and his ability to instantly recognize talented individuals, biding his time, slowly rising through the ranks, and making absolutely sure that he would not go down the way he did in his previous life. The potential such a premise has is immense. Nope. Blud has the mental capacity and ideologies of an actual grade schooler. He goes around frolicking through life like a six year old on a sugar rush. The entire anime pretty much goes like this: He finds a person with good stats > Uses his title as a noble, and has this conversation 'I make world better place for everyone :D. Come work for me'. 'No'. 'Please?'. 'No'. 'Pretty please?'. 'No'. > ~Insert stupid event here that makes them join. Example: Gets kidnapped and has to get saved~. > They join. Rinse and repeat. Most of the people he hires are from much lower classes and are struggling to survive because of the horribly corrupt system that the nobles control, so to have this high and mighty spoilt aristocrat brat talk about his childish ideas of world peace while they don't even know if they will survive to see another day, is almost comedic. Their intention was the MC to come across as your usual non controversial, kind, 'good guy' character, but the implementation is so badly done, he just comes across as insufferable, dumb, and ignorant. I don't think I can put into words how much I disliked the MC, he has the most generic and shallow 'kind' response to every situation, without a second of thought put into his decision; A noble was caught faking signatures to cause chaos and war between two factions, what do we do about this heinous act? "Forgive, because everyone make mistakes and work together strong :D", consequences be damned. Everyone around him warned him against hiring an extremely sketchy drunk woman, but no, because ofc, "Her stat high, and she seems like a good person". The MC is so one dimensional, predictable, naive, dumb, and so superficially 'kind', that you could bring a serial rapist who rolled a juicy 100 on the 'aspirations' stat, and he would be hired instantly, because 'his stat high and everyone deserves a second chance'. The MC does nothing relevant or memorable all season, his cool high stat pokemon, I mean subordinates do pretty much all the work, all the fighting, and steal the show, while he just exists, emoting like a kindergartener "Ohhhhh!", "So cool!", "What did I do? :(". "Wow, stats so high!", it just becomes sad at a certain point. The MC is reduced to a mere plot device to introduce more interesting side characters. Oh, I forget to mention, the MCs love interest is an 8 year old... He gets extremely flustered by her advances and says, and I quote, 'If it wasn't for my appraisal skill, I would've fallen in love with her'. Make of that what you will, mushoku fans. The reincarnation aspect doesn't play a role at all, it seems like they forgot about it after the first 20 seconds, its almost as if the only hopped on the reincarnation train due to certain *ahem* popular reincarnation anime; he doesn't bring any of his knowledge, experience, or even a tiny bit of personality to this life, for all I know, he seems slightly slower than the other kids of his age. I've seen actual children who have more grounded, nuanced views on the world than this creature . The MC is truly a piece of work, a fucking frankenstien of failed ideas, and badly executed cliches. It almost feels like they were trying to go for 'found family' type of bond between the MC and his retainers, because he believed them when no one did! But that theory goes down the shitter when you realize that Ars only approached them because of their inherent high stats, so instead of the 'found family', its more like they met Ars' stat requirement because they were born with it. The world building is painfully average, the 'politics' in this anime just feel like a 15 year olds first attempt at a wattpad historical fiction. Most of the other aspects of the show are not outright bad, but it won't be impressing you either.


But hey, if you enjoyed it, found it to be a breathe of fresh air from the usual isekai slop, I respect that. It the end, this is just my opinion and what I felt watching the show. I can see the appeal this anime has, but to me, it just ended up being the mushoku reject disappointment of the season. TLDR: I didn't like it, if you're really into isekais/more laid back animes, give it a watch and decide for yourself; else, stay away, waste of time and braincells.
