Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku

High school student Haruka has always been a content loner. One day, he and his class are abruptly transported to another world and given skill points to use when choosing from an assortment of abilities and magical powers. Unfortunately, Haruka arrives last, and he can only use his points on the seemingly impractical abilities the others had no interest in. Although he is on his own again and must adjust to his new life by himself, he much prefers it that way.

However, Haruka's peaceful solitude is short-lived, as he runs into some of his classmates. Weak to their pleas for help, he ends up sheltering and helping them reunite with the others. But the different cliques struggle to see eye to eye, forcing Haruka to find a way to end the infighting and restore harmony between them to survive the unfamiliar world.

I almost dropped this anime, but I was exhausted and just wanted something simple, lighthearted, and easy to follow—and that’s exactly what this anime delivers.

The MC is an extreme introvert, but not socially anxious—two traits that don’t always go hand in hand. Many frustrating situations could have been avoided if he had more communication experience, but even more could have been prevented if he and the people around him just used basic logic. His maxed-out Luck stat is supposed to justify the plot armor, but a lot of things still don’t make sense.

This anime feels like the result of a somewhat ... creative writer with a bad habit of speaking before thinking—except in this case, they wrote a script and were too lazy to revise it. There’s no real story, and the plot is basically summed up in the intro, but it’s still fun if you turn off your brain. If it made just a little more sense, I’d give it a 7/10.

Mixed Feelings

Finished the series in one seating and honestly the class rep character really really REALLY get on my nerves.

Haruka is a chill MC the way i see it and the plot progression is okay but mannnn class rep is really annoying and noisy.

Typical isekai plot with a bit of different setting with the whole classroom.

I've never known or read the novel and manga but these 12 episodes are easy to watch, not a single heavy plot.

Kinda curious on how Haruka's power progression continue on because it's a combination of small power/quirks and not the usual imba MC buffs.

If there is ever a second season, ... i will watch it just to see how they carry on the story.

TLDR and recommendations - You can do so much better. If you like a loner having to deal with his class in a real way, watch Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. If you want a whole class that's involved, try Naruto or My Hero Academia. If you like simple skills being taken to the limit, try Kekkaishi or Charlotte. I hope you enjoy at least one of them.

You and I both probably saw the summary and thought "Oh, sending an entire class to another world sounds like a fun and interesting dynamic! I wonder what they can do here that other isekais ... can't? And the main character gets leftover skills! What kind of interesting stuff he'll have to figure out?"

Both of these questions end badly I assure you. Let's start with the more egregious of the two. The class. I'll keep the second one short.

The main character occasionally looks like a timid guy with occasional social skills, but only because he's like a metronome swinging between being a wildly successful and sociable guy who helps out other people out of the kindness of his heart... and being an utter psychopath who vehemently refuses to remember a single name of any character and instead places every single character into a horribly generic bucket, such as jocks or nerds, and refers to them exclusively in these groups for the entire show. He also talks to himself incessantly, which drags out even halfway decent scenes and makes ones with bad pacing worse.

The other characters aren't much better, doing almost nothing when the main character isn't involved (after the first few episodes maybe) and with one or two exceptions nestle themselves so tightly into the generic character type buckets that the main character creates that it's pointless for the viewer to think of them separately either. Essentially, the entire premise of bringing the whole class was their way to remove character development while putting as many female characters on the key art as possible. The final nail in the coffin is that aside from the clear villains, every character clings incessantly to the main character after a certain point in his interactions with their bucket. It undermines their development, it undermines the freedom of the premise, and it ties everyone together so tight it impossible to have the class be anything but a mob of random people.

As I said, I'll keep the second main issue short: crap skills.

The main character gets a bunch of crap skills, as is mentioned in the summary. It turns out, to the surprise of nobody, that most of these skills are better than they look by some technicality and therefore make the main character broken. After the high of seeing him discover new details and skills/subskills goes away, there's not much left. While admittedly the MC does make some actually designed combos and does some research or quick thinking to expand his library, in practice most of his power comes from either gaining access to every magic type and combining them all, or combining every physical strengthening concept he can think of into a vague and meaningless amount of strength. They just run out of stuff to do with it despite shows like Kekkaishi going to the moon with only one ability (barriers, in this case) (also if you like Kekkaishi read the manga, it goes farther and ends better)

FINAL SUMMARY

The start is kind of cathartic, but the show quickly devolves into a bland and meaningless slog, regardless of how much you liked the beginning. The main character goes from boring to an unlikeable, annoying, stereotyping chatterbox - (if you want a real character like this watch Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, where the main character actually has to deal with any real problems at all, including himself. He's a loner who hates everyone and himself and I cherish him dearly). The final arc brings it back a bit, but not much; like the rest of the show, there's a lot of potential lost and what's left is the most bland version of itself.
