Seriously, this is a really well made show. Great production values in the art, sound and directing. The premise is interesting with an ensemble cast of varied characters with different skills working together in an otherwise pretty typical isekai fantasy world. Also, the mix of light-hearted tones mixed with dramatic moments and a committment to be sexy without it coming off as literal fan service (or "box-ticking" as I like to call it)... all great.

But what is it about making characters OP in isekai shows? It ruins the tension. Far too many moments in this show there has been a raising of the stakes before one character just Mary Sues their way out of trouble.

I think I could really like this if the characters weren't so OP. The cliffhanger from the last episode is the first time I've really felt tension as to what will happen next in terms of feeling like they are in actual trouble. I really hope the next episode doesn't open with a 10 second, half-assed explanation how one of the characters used their "genius" to stop the attack on the city at the last second.

ikr it's a generic kind of anime but a good one at that, the only thing im bothered with are the repetitive animations and some other small details

It's my guilty pleasure. xD I'm just enjoying whatever they throw at me at this point. (And yeah, it's really pretty so that helps lol)

That's why I love Cautious Hero (which I see you're watching too). They know it's silly so they go all the way with it. :)

I think what ruins any literal plot on this is literally the premise that they're already, as we know it OP. This is the premise and something that we cannot escape from, I feel like. Yes we've seen the world, and the ppl from it. But that doesn't mean anything at this point. Even the backstory of the HSer doesnt interest me one bit. It's like watching Overlord all over again, what I could only care is how the outside/the ppl in the world reaction to how the MC is wreaking havoc.

Thinking the same thing.

Interesting concept, ruined by OP, single-dimensional characters that always win, regardless of the situation.

The only thing I save from this show is Ringo. And I agree, it could have been so much better.

What's a single-dimensional character? You mean one dimensional character? Pft, you can't even write proper english, how should I take your 2 line comment that provides nothing but an empty generic bash in a serious manner.

One dimensional characters aren't bad if the show isn't taken completely serious. Same goes for the overpower trait.

It's ridiculous that you gave a 9 to Cautious Hero, a show with one dimensional characters that will win no matter what, but you can only come with a lousy "it's really bad" comment on this show with also one dimensional characters that will win no matter what.

Pft, what a poser

LOL a fanboy getting triggered

They are absolutely right imo the show is trash way too much plot armor and silly comedy that ruins all seriousness (I like comedy if it's well executed, which in the case of this anime isn't the case)

I see people saying that they are OP, but that's at best only part of the problem. They are OP, with plot armor, plus enemies that can't tie their shoes without help. I mean we are at level where if you call them comic book villains, actual comic book villains will get up complain and say they're nowhere near as bad.

Lol.

You're a funny kid.

Also, "Pft" is traditionally spelled, "Pfft" - And using someone's neglect of the English language as a bashing point is laughable. The English language is trash, just like you.

Dude the difference between cautious hero and this show, was Cautious knew it was comedy and played it that way, while Prodigies is trying to play it straight for people who can't get why it's bad.
