Naze Boku no Sekai wo Daremo Oboeteinai no ka?

Look past the shadows of the obvious tells! Something is lurking there...

A deeper plot is unravelling behind the obvious plotline of the story. We might be witnessing a hidden gem, and I would be so bold as to compare it to Angel Beats (if my prediction holds true). I will not mention the subtile signs already noticed because that would spoil, but I advise people to pay attention to the smaller details. Because I believe there is a deeper plot surrounding the MC than the obvious signs we see that won't be explained, but remain hidden. It is for this reason I have set it ... to masterpiece, only the future will tell if that's a hit or miss.

Many reviews focus on the passiveness of the MC, and with good reason. Kai lets a lot of things slide by unaffected while using a lot of time to reemerge. This sometimes makes the anime feel stretched. Perhaps it is because of budget. It does make the brain itch a little at times. However, it seems as though such moments tend to hold value when listenting to what is actually happening and being said. This anime is not just about power and a strong MC who saves everyone.

Happy watching!

This show can't seem to decide what it wants to be. It has a story/worldbuilding that it set up, but every time that worldbuilding conflicts with generic anime tropes, they go with the anime tropes even if they make no sense in the show. Instead, we have...whatever the hell this show is becoming, a show which tells us that humanity is at war with 4 races who have essentially wiped out/enslaved the entire human race, but who Kai keeps befriending every time he runs into a character with boobs. I get it, actually defeating the other races is not where the story is going, ... but if the story doesn't work with the worldbuilding, then you should have written different worldbuilding. It's not like it wasn't under the control of the author. The MC befriending enemies just because they're kawaii is stupid, though not exactly surprising for anime, I suppose. Having multiple races become buddies and instantly forget decades of genocide the moment a single duel is over is nonsensical even for anime.

The story also sets itself up with Kai's journey to victory being "if you can defeat each race's hero, they'll be defeated, so if you defeat all 4 humanity is saved." Why this would be true when the entire rest of each genocidal and super-powered race is still there and perfectly capable of continuing to defeat humanity in the 99.9999% of territory where Kai isn't personally present is not explained, but the worst part is that we fairly quickly discover that each race has multiple hero-level characters (and why wouldn't they), so Kai's victories don't actually even do what the original plan told us they would and actually remove all the enemy heroes...and yet the story doesn't change at all. He still has to defeat one and only one of each hero. Just forget that the races still have all their forces and plenty of heroes to step into the role immediately after, OK?

And don't worry too much about how strong anyone is, or how magic works, or how weapons work. Sometimes Kai is superhuman, sometimes he's just a regular human with a literal plot weapon. Sometimes his plot weapon can rewrite reality, sometimes it's a worthless paperweight when the show would prefer some other character to have a chance to save the day. Magic? It just does whatever the author wants, apparently, with no logic at all as to its power, limits, or mechanics.

Mediocre at best. Watch if you have nothing better and are OK being equally frustrated and entertained.

This is my first review, and I must admit that I usually don't write about anime. However, I felt compelled to share my experience with "Naze Boku no Sekai wo Daremo Oboeteinai no ka?" because, unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointment. The premise, with a world that has been "rewritten" and where the protagonist, Kai, fights to restore the original history, seemed promising. However, the execution is extremely predictable and tiresome.

The story itself doesn't offer much originality. From the beginning, it's easy to anticipate the developments, making it difficult to stay engaged. Although I generally enjoy fantasy and adventure anime, this one failed ... to captivate me.

The art style is competent but nothing memorable. The characters are another weak point: Kai lacks charisma and seems to react passively to situations that should be decisive. Most of the supporting characters are also shallow, with no significant development or clear motivations.

As for the characters' behavior, they often act in ways that feel forced, as if their actions are merely to prolong the plot rather than evolve naturally.

Even though I didn't enjoy it, some might appreciate the anime, especially those who don't mind clichés and are simply looking for a straightforward narrative with fantasy elements. However, for those seeking depth and innovation, this anime is a real disappointment and not worth the time spent watching.
