 https://myanimelist.net/anime/59265/ Plot Summary A man who was thirty years old and wanted to use magic died unexpectedly, and when he woke up, he was reborn in another world. Named Theon, he had high hopes that there would be magic in another world, but there was no magic in that world. Theon became depressed and lethargic, but an event led him to discover the existence of magic. "That's right. If there is no magic, then I will make it myself." With this in mind, Theon began researching magic from that day onwards. Eventually, through the spread of a disease that can only be cured by magic, and a chance encounter with an enemy that can only be defeated by magic, Theon becomes a hero who saves the world. This is the story of a simple magic fool who, while tossed about by fate, overcomes it with the power of magic and an indomitable fighting spirit, ultimately propagating magic to the people.

| Episode 1 And it begins with Shion reincarnated into another world as the son of a humble family in the countryside with her loving big sister Marie. He's in a fantasy world, but the concept of magic doesn't exist in this world. Marie has been training with the sword, while Shion has been doing lots of research and looking to discover its existence in this world. His first opportunity to discover magic comes from the river when lights are glowing. It turns out it comes from a common species of trout falling in love seeing that females are quite rare. And then after Shion and Marie become determined to stay together, and Shion glows. So Shion now knows it does exist, but hasn't been discovered yet. While it's another isekai show, the concept is at least a creative one where it's all about creating magic in a place where the concept is foreign. |
| It's off to a slow start. It looks like they're going to build up the magic gradually. In some ways it's the opposite of Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of all time, where the main character jumps right into being a capable magic user. In other ways it's similar, since Shion will have the monopoly on magic in this world, giving him huge advantages. I'll probably keep watching, but the cast needs to age up some more. |
| Interesting seeing an Isekai from the perspective of someone other than the reincarnated person. Will we stay that perspective or focus on Liam from now on |
| Is this going to be a wincest isekai? |
| Well, that took a weird turn. I thought he was going to create magic through sheer force of chuuni but it turns out the key was wincest. Extra creepy wincest given that he is presumably an adult mentally. I'm going to assume they aren't blood related and mom just found him in the woods or something. Or at least I'm going to hope that is the case. |

So basically, the kid's a trout?
| @marklebid A horny trout specifically. |
| Nice to see that isekai can still throw a few twists out there. His hypothesis of having somehow internalized the magic from the fish seems like a pretty wild leap in logic and I really hope it ends up being wrong. It will be telling for what kind of show this is if every first supposition he comes up with is correct. There was a moment partway through when he was looking at his sister and I was thinking hmmmm. But then Rose showed up and you could see his obvious interest there so I figured we weren't doing the sister route. Then they pulled the ol double switch on us. Of course this being an isekai he could easily end up with both and a few others too. |

zkeleton said: Given there are 4 girls in the promotional image that seems likely. Of course this being an isekai he could easily end up with both and a few others too. I suppose we have to wait and see which one turns out to be his slave. -.- |
| It's the magic of wincest! I do like the isekai being shown subtly like this. Maybe it will not even have stat screens! |
SparkyBob said: Maybe it will not even have stat screens! One can only hope... If it does, at least it got nabbed by Crunchyroll and not HiDive. Every time HiDive simulcasts a show with stat screens half the stat screen gets cut out or are dotted all over the screen so it's hard to read them. |
