Did they speedrun the story or is it actually like this in the manga? The pacing seemed all over the place, so just wondering if its like this in the manga or they just adapted it like this.

I encourage new viewers to read the manga instead. I'm still going to watch the anime regardless.

I read the manga and they skipped quite a bunch of scenes.Episode 1 literally put 7 chapters.In the manga it didn't feel rushed cause they took some time to explain here and there.If you want a better explanation on what happen go read chapter 1-7 (Episode 1 stopped halfway through chapter 7)and I know the anime is adapting from the light novel.But I wonder why they put all that in the first episode.Plus I was really looking forward to seeing Matthias's older brother sigh

I also expected Matty's older brother and more than anything the voice they would give him since in the manga Matty is arrogant since he was the wise Gaia The truth is that they did the first chapter very hastily. I'm going to keep watching and I'm going to look for the novel to see what it is like.

yea, they skipped quite a lot of content compared to manga. basically this first episode show no character development at all, and show little amount of mc ability other than necessary.
taking into account of how much a story can fit into a single season of anime, my guess is that they want to focus on later part not the early part of story where usually character introduction and development takes place. as there is a lot of content the skipped. (they didn't even glossed it over either, just cut here - skip there and done. read manga and you will understand better of the story and his ability. at least the early part.)

Yes they did. What's even worse, they butchered the tone manga was going for. I dunno about the LN but the manga adaptation is very light-hearted and genuinely funny (it has BACKGROUND JOKES ffs). There was not a single actual joke in episode 1 of the anime. Also anime went with the LN character designs that are generic AF. This is a terrible adaptation.

also seemed to put a lot more focus into Matty x Ruri than the manga.

The manga imo kinda lightly touches Matty’s interest in Ruri, whereas Ruri’s is very clear, but episode 1 had him literally constantly getting flustered when he’s usually very cool and stoic.

Ep 1 skips straight from him casting Reincarnation to the end of Chapter 3.
Chapters aren’t short in the manga. Usually one chapter is around 60 pages.
They’re literally speedrunning the story.

I was extremely excited for this, as I’ve been following the manga for a couple of years now, but now I’m just disappointed. I’ll continue the anime to the end, but it’ll probably he a 5-6 rating based off what I just saw versus a high 7 for the manga.

I dunno about that, I guess manga just didn't focus on it too much, Matty is basically confused at first, then figures that he's in a teenager's body and accepts it, then it's just relegated to background gags (which I found nice TBH)

I thought of dropping it after 1 episode, but I guess I'll give it 3 episodes. The other isekai series I was excited for (She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man) turned out to be a similar disappointment. I have nothing else to watch this season except Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (which is fantastic) :/

Exactly. Background gags. Not Matty blushing his ass off every 30 seconds when he looks at her lol. He acknowledges her beauty in the manga and definitely has interest throughout, but it seems a lot more pronounced in the anime, and I’m worried they’ll try and use it as a hook for the anime-only crew.
I’ll watch it all the way to the end, but I’m def bummed.

Same here with Pupil of the Wise Man.

Sono Bisque is fantastic tho.

Fantasy Bishoujo is gonna be a solid romcom, so look into that.

Pretty certain Sasaki to Miyano will also be good.

Sorry for getting off-topic, but I wanted to drop you some recommendations.

I read the manga sometime last year and I just watched episode 1 and it was one of the weirdest anime adaptations I have seen. They skipped so much so fast that it felt like it was more of a rapid-fire recap montage of the first half of a season than the first episode. It just didn't flow well or make sense. They also changed the tone of the show. Really bizarre choices. It was already a fairly generic isekai, they didn't need to go out of their way to make it worse.

There's also a manga.

Majority of ppls tends to read Manga over Novels. Hence the reason why most comparison in anime forum is with manga before novels.

___ ___ ___

And as said, the anime is rushed, so it's missing a lot of story/ lore/ character development.

And it's also the reason why a lot of people are just skipping the series as the anime is pretty much only showing generic Isekai settings.

Stuff that's "boring" but gives setting development are skipped.

Why they're skipping, no one really knows, but there are multiple reasons.

Such as:

Stuffing everything into one season.

The anime acts as a Promo for the Manga/ Novel.

Or trying to go with the past Isekai series pace of faster actions, which apparently Japan ppls likes... As can be seen that Isekai series are extremely popular in Japan. Especially ones with OP MCs and fast actions.

No one cares about the manga tho it’s not the source material whether or not you prefer to read it is irrelevant. Pacing would be based on the LN not the manga. And LNs are infinitely better too btw.

1. Then if the pacing of the anime was based of the LN then the Light novel sucks at pacing.
2. The Manga is another adaptation of the original source material. So it is an accurate thing to compare another Adaptation to.
3. I bought the manga cause the LN isn't available where i was at at the time. So i care for the manga.
4. Saying that LN are infinitely better is just your skew opinion and is no different them putting people doen for their tastes.

4. A yes a gatekeeper. Should i bow to your mightiness cause you can read a LN. O wait i don't cause i read them too. guess im on the same high horse as you except i also buy Original language LNs directly from stores and read them. Its dumb to think that one medium is better than another. Alot of times i read the LN the read the Manga cause some LN have way to many tangents that never pertain to the story.

Gonna be honest, even the manga kinda feels rushed, and matteus comes off as alot less likable in the manga (think his anime counterpart with more prideful boasting).

Probably the biggest problem with this one though is that it skips the prequel series, which explains a few things in better detail, matteus's odd friendship with iris and the implied origin of demons and monsters.
Also as far as i know, demons are always chaotic evil, iris is technically a monster, just a absurdly powerful and intelligent one, even most dragons are jerks in the series.

Tip: when the source is a Light Novel, ask the LN fans. Manga adaptations of LNs are not the best representation of a show since they cut out context, though it's easier to understand on a visual scale if you're not the kind of person who likes wordy works.

But then again, to answer your question, yeah...they rushed it.
