I came into this show with somewhat low expectations. Lot of characters introduced, especially the girls group in class.

Some of the cheeky commentary were hard to get used to especially seeing how cartoony it was and Haruka talking. Speaking f Haruka, he's a bit of an airhead. Otherwise, it's an average start imo. Got the basic themes and story set up but it needs to do a lot more to improve the plot.

Fall 2024 has finally kicked off with JP early streams...and the first has to be an average Isekai of all things from lone author Shoji Goji.

By choice, Haruka chooses to be a loner against his class cliques of delinquents, valley gals, jocks, nerds and class reps, as he and his class gets Isekai-ed Arifureta style, and no matter where he hides, he's gonna get teleported like the rest of his classmates anyways. Of course, once he gets into another world, facing an old man giving him an introduction, as well as a wall of leftover skills and job classes that are weak and useless, barring that his classmates had taken all the best skills. And out of sympathy, all of the remainder classfiications are bestowed to Haruka, as well as his Villager A starter set to get his "Loner Life" going. But little does he know that when combined together, even the useless skills are worth something, that at least got him through the first day by setting up camp in an unused monster lair.

Day 2 of the Loner Life, and while preparing meals with the little that he has is a cinch, Haruka has to plan ahead, and that's where he finds monsters like small goblins to defeat and quickly become OP by surviving his first battle. Other than feasting on mushrooms day in and day out, Haruka continues his training as per usual while craving for meat all the more with defeating stronger mobs of goblins, and by Day 5, he's more than efficient to kill monsters and survive on his own. But with his classmates closing in, especially having the class rep as a childhood friend of interest, choosing between a potential girlfriend or the loner life...the latter matters all the more.

It's a mediocre start, nothing too fancy for a Loner Life-esque Arifureta premise.

Man, this is another favourite getting adapted.
So far, the animation is smooth and I like it.
I hope, as well as the others, that every scene wouldn't be skipped.
I'm expecting a lot from this.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Decent start nothing to really write home about.Basically the standard isekaid scene and mostly showing using his useless skills in not so useless ways.At least non outright to be actually OP just yet.

The backstory with class rep was sort of interesting,also the good production.Dont have to be unique just need to execute it well is what looking for in these shows.

That's my "trash" seasonal Isekai.

Atleast so far they are committed to loner concept.
I think I first time saw guy trying to avoid get isekaid.
The skill systems were kinda overwhelming but the mc was decent at explaining. As expected those useless skills were pretty good. But still he has to work hard to survive. After 5 day finally caught a rabbit for his meat and it escaped..
Decent chill start, nothing special but did the basic Isekai 1st episode alright, animation quality is good too as well.MC is fine so far not a edgy weirdo neither too annoying. Also chose loner lifestyle instead of childhood friend. Respect+1...

Easy skip if you aren't into isekai.

Don’t know why the entire class getting isekaied has been the new norm apparently, but you know, at least for once we have an MC that DIDN’T want to get isekaied and let it happen for once lol. Dude tried to vent out and that magic circle just kept coming to him xD

For an isekai, an actual unique and nice start. Better than most of the slop we get, I guess. Just hope it would last more than like two episodes of this feeling.

P.S. I find it funny that this and Arifureta are airing in the same season lols.

Both LN published by the same company

He even was reading Arifureta LN before he got Isekai

Kind of meh, but i'll give it two more episodes. I like the art style and the humor sets a nice self aware tone to it, but the first ep alone didn't really do anything to make me interested.

Episode 1 looks like a generic class Isekai with an overload of skills that is impossible to follow and the usual 1 girl that the MC is fine with.

My expectations are not high for this anime.

Some comedy was funny, but it was still an average start.

As usual, the loser skills are actually OP.

I hope the almost parodic tone will continue because if it gets serious, like Failure Frame...

I like the art style of the characters.

I like the character designs and animation.
Luckily, there's no CGI.
I mean this is Passione we're talking about.
The monologues were boring at times, he should have kept it to a minimum.
I found him to be annoying at times but I was able to endure.
"I am gonna master this world alone".
Good, stick to that.
Cause bruh, if you start attracting girls for a harem and gain companions, I'mma be pissed fr fr.

Each episode was streamed one week in advance of the TV broadcast from September 27, 2024, on ABEMA and HIDIVE. Regular broadcasting began on October 4, 2024.

It was literally written for you in the background section.

As a big Isekai fan, was looking forward to this one because this season is surprisingly sparse on them; think there's only about 3 that aren't a season 2 of a returning show.

Already knew I would enjoy this one when they started with the meta jokes at the beginning; you know the genre has become big when its reached the point where even the characters know its an Isekai and say "its just like those novels!"

Don't know why he had to knock the mushrooms though; mushrooms are pretty great when you make them the right way.

I could tell from the cover art alone he's not going to be a "loner" much longer, but the usage of tropes is not a problem in and of itself- its what you do with a trope that determines if its good or bad.

I consider the release of this show to basically be the start of the Fall 2024 season; looking forward to what's in store the rest of the season

side note- I keep track of Isekai mechanisms; score one more point for magic circle. Man, the "truck cliche" isn't much of a cliche anymore, lol

Incredibly dull and boring. Isekai authors please do not devote the entire first chapter to testing powers and monologuing to yourself unless your main character is one of the most enjoyable or interesting characters

This was a fun 1st episode.
I like this main character and his positive energy.
Looks like the skills he got are great for every situation.
I am definitely going to continue to watch this.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

1st trash isekai of the season. Decent animation but as still as trashy as most other.

But it wasn't that boring though. I could finish the whole episode without getting distracted once.

Not a great start, but that was to be expected. I've read the LN and the trouble with the story is it starts off as a super generic isekai, the funny stuff with Haruka constantly forgetting people's names, arguing with the Adventurer's Guild about the jobs board never changing and doing other eccentric things thus triggering lectures from the Class Rep probably won't start for another episode or two I think. I would definitely urge people to stick with it until then as that's when it gets fun.

Until then, it's just going to be the generic loser MC gets super strong despite having been given seemingly rubbish powers. They should probably have debuted with a couple of episodes to get past the generic stuff.

Trying to run from the teleportation circle only made it worse for him lol or maybe not? He got all the leftover skills which looked shit at first but looks like they work well with each other and has room for growth as well like how he learned fire magic after warmth skill evolved. Villager set A is sus though, doubt it's from a random villager.

First anime of Fall aside the leaked/limited premiere ones. Not a bad way to start the season.

I really want to like this adaptation, but it is even worse than I've expected. The production is plain awful, no two ways about it, the direction is flat, and the story flow is all over the place. I understand the desire to get past the boring initial parts (any adaptation to a visual medium can't hold a candle to the novel's schizo ramblings that made even the beginning entertaining) quick. But this first ep made even the few highlights they have fizzle away.

Pointing out and laughing at every isekai cliche and then doing it anyway doesn't make your story a parody or satire: it just puts a giant spotlight on your lazy writing.

The idea of a guy trying to get by as a loner in another world but circumstances not allowing it sounds like a fun premise, but this first episode wastes it. Hopefully, the next couple of episodes pick up the pace.

Oh look… an Mc who reads manga and LV’s all day but then in true Japanese fashion doesn’t want anything TROUBLESOME.. well look where that gotcha buddy. Like most of these generic isekai adventures I like the world and the supporting cast isn’t bad but the show would probably be better if the Mc had just stayed at home πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Why is a half decent protagonist so hard to come by these days.. maybe I’m just mad that this stupid hurricane came through and I haven’t had power for 18 hours now. I’m going to have to go BACK out to the car to charge my phone and iPad.. frustrating πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

My fave trope is when shows know they’re generic seasonal fantasies, make fun of the tropes and still manage to be ass. πŸ”₯

we just said goodbye to failure frame and now we got another whole class summoned isekai . This is gonna be mid, but the trying to be a loner and avoid people could be a little interesting and funny.

Low expectations for this one but it is nice to finally see what the story is about. I see the book in stores all the time and was always curious about this one and “roll over and die” since they have similar book fonts and designs.

The Anime skipped quite a lot of stuff from the manga, nothing major, but it takes away from all the hard work that MC did to beautify his cave / house / mansion.
