| it has actually been one of my favourites this season |
| I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT |
| Expected it to be way worse, but it's actually pretty good for an OP MC isekai! |
 |
| It's pretty enjoyable for a blatant power fantasy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It started alright but each episode has pushed it towards generic territory, the Harem is icing on the Generic cake. |
| Would have settled for this being my trash watch of the season. Then I started thinking it's "not bad at all" But now I recon it's actually pretty entertaining. |

| It's very generic, but it's competent. Competency alone makes it better than a lot of isekai. |
| It's not terrible but it's far from good. There's no real conflict in this show. All we know is that Lugh has an objective and he's getting stronger in order to achieve it, but it feels like there are no stakes. One reason is that the goddess seems to be picking up randos to complete a task that I don't think she really gives a damn about. I'm supported in this by the goddess picking up a fucking MC and thinking that the man would be able to slay the hero with rhymes.Another reason comes from Lugh having zero issues accomplishing anything. So far the worst thing that has happened to him post reincarnation has been morning wood. |
FreezePeach said: Goddess prepares for this event literally for decades, she clearly does give a damn about it. Not all her efforts are fruitful but her task is not simple. Heroes are strong, they are legendary beings. The idea that there must be a conflict for show to be good is rather weird. The show must be entertaining, that's all that counts. How it is achieved is secondary. The goddess cosplays every time she summons a new hero, she's never serious and might I remind you, she summoned a rapper. She really seems to be just doing this for fun and that's why she is the best part of this show. As for the hero, all we know is that they have 30 S tier skills and will kill the demon king. That's it, and I find that to be really hard to build stakes around as the hero has been barely mentioned through out the seven episodes we have been shown. All in all, I think this show is fine. |

| Yeah, Lugh isn't exactly rushing to find the hero or anything. Yes, everything he does prepares him for the confrontation, but he doesn't act like he's under a serious time limit. He barely even mentions it because he's too busy focusing on tasks at hand - which he pretty much dominates anyway. He's just level-grinding. The isekai angle feels pretty wasted because so far, all it's done is give him the opportunity to be better at everyone and know everything. There's been almost no struggles with him adjusting to different lives. He's supposed to be manipulating his harem into being his minions, but it feels no different than any other isekai harem in practice. The premise is good and seeing assassins in action is pretty fun. But this show's about as deep as a puddle. |
FreezePeach said: You find it hard to build stakes - well, first, the stakes are clearly high so it is weird. And second, the story doesn't need "high stakes" to be entertaining. Someone mentioned that story is not through the 1st volume yet and there are already 6 published. It would be pretty dumb to insert a midboss battle every couple of episodes to keep "high stakes". To be honest, I think I'm expecting too much from a generic isekai. I was thinking of dropping this after episode 2 because I hate Lugh as a character. But episode 3 for the most part was really solid at compelling me to keep going. It fooled me into thinking that this series would him developing as a character. Which is great cause episodes 4-7 has got rid of any of those notions cause he's still the same shitty person he was in his previous world. I hear he develops in the books but I don't know if I would stick around for a second season. The world's pretty generic and the characters aren't really that interesting. But the art is really nice and there's only like 5 episodes, so I'll keep watching. |

Which is the perfect depth for a show that has clearly set out to be that way. There are plenty of shows I can't watch for all the relentless lecturing, this one is pleasingly dumb fun. |

Aomine251 said: Are we all going to IGNORE the fact that MC who is nearly OP , blessed with such gifts/skills , a guy who if wanted could have wiped out this entire gang of corrupted royals who were kidnapping & mistreating girls for 2 years ( 2 years??.....there is no chance he wasn't aware of situations of those poor girls otherwise he is the DUMBEST assassins in the world) .......but he chooses not to intervene. why?.....cause he needed a PAWN in his squad. Okay, he can't directly interfere as he can risk blowing his cover....still there could have a thousand ways to handle the situation. (again I m saying.....there's no way he wasn't aware of this misdeed in the town) Am I being too emotional......if yes , then the writer shouldn't use such sensitive topics if he gonna handle them so poorly with no proper justice. i may like the anime....but cant say the same about MC. A total A$$hole Yes, because you are a bot account! just post the same with your real ACC (because you have one otherwise you wouldn't know the forums in a few mins.) and we can take your posts seriously! Fake bot acc! |
| For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations. |
| Definitely one of the best this season! For an isekai is pretty good, despite having magic and everything (that can be a shock for the one that has been reincarnated) it is based a lot on the natural (non-magic) skills of each person since not many people have magic. This combined with a professional assassin and his new slice of life, while he still has an important mission to fulfill, it turn out to be awesome! The best part is not him adapting to this world but him adapting this world to his past life skills (new cooking for his nutrition, creating known weapons with the use of magic and not using magic as a weapon, using his skill on persons like he would do in his normal past world). The actual unchanging methodology of his action is the thing that makes this anime unique and very much appreciated by the audience. |

| I am at episode 3.. and other than his mentor being a little kid (no spoilers please) I had not complaints .. I loved the op song ,loved the character intro in ep1 , also liked the strory pacing , progression , blend of comedy and dark isekai vibes , I have high hopes for this one |

FreezePeach said: ] So, you wasn't honest before and all your previous comments were an elaborate ruse? And I thought your previous comments were strange. Well, your preferences in isekai don't really concern me. Drop it, keep watching, it makes no difference. Okay I wasn't lying with my other posts, I just tend to overuse/misuse the phrase "to be honest". I just thought we kinda ran out of things to debate, so I figured we would end it there. I had no intention in deceiving you and I hope you continue to find joy in this anime. |

So it's impossible to have knowledge about the forum just because you didn't have an account ?? really?? so you are saying it's impossible that there are people out there who just like Referring to MAL site just for anime reviews & ratings but never wanted to involve directly in any discussion, but one day he decided to do so. Come on Man! Way to introduce yourself to the community !! How about you take a deep breath, put a bit of effort into humanizing your profile, start by focusing on what you like and maybe be a little less strident and defensive about what you don't |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| So, general consensus? I'd say, this show has been surprisingly entertaining so far. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| It's pretty good for an Isekai. But I'm starting to lose interest in watching the next episode... or just my mood. |
 |
| Anime of this general nature have a 99% chance of being crap. But this is the 1%. Very much pleasantly surprised. |

Can't blame you...i should have known better that you can get mixed up with those retards who actually likes to play BOT. Ok, now that everyone knows that you are not a BOT, let see your comment then... First, the MC is not that OP. In the 2nd ep, you learned the odds of every type of skill he has, more than that you see him choosing his abilities and trace a plan with those in mind, and in last you saw 2 things, one is that the goddess gave him the opportunity to choose his abilities with the purpose of him to do his "job" and not to became over-powerful, only to have the opportunity to "end" the hero (this one yes, is OP as hell! 5 top tier skills and 20 2nd-to-top tier skills, while the MC have 5 skills, one of each tier); and 2nd you saw that she put him in the best place to do his job, in an important family of assassins. Is not that he is OP, is that he was literally "made" to fight the hero and have a chance to defeat him (her in this case). Now the rest. As you can see right now some part of your original post is outdated and completely false. Since he arrived to the point that Maha had already the papers of her adoption to the MC "fake" family, it only passed 6 months, which means that he did not wait 2 years -.- And since those papers did take some time to be done (1-2 months) we can see that the time Lugh (now Illig Balor) had to adapt, take informations and knows what's happening, and take action in the most detailed way, he did not take that much time as you originally thought. Despite that you were right at one thing, he is on a mission and he needs a pawn! If the girl did not have magic he wouldn't act as quickly as he did, especially because of what you mentioned "he can't directly interfere as he can risk blowing his cover". He wouldn't definitely act soo promptly just because that was a bad thing, he would do it in a more wide and ranged way. He would find those on a higher scale, associates, and do a proper interrogation to see if he can take more information for future acts! The girl being there was a bless for the other girls, and I cannot blame him for that. The job he has up ahead is not one that I would choose to pick if I had a choice, but he picked it and he's trying very hard to accomplish it! If you cannot see that... well, is up to you. |
