I wonder after how long have I enjoyed an isekai anime this much

This has really good potential unless they fuck this up like any other Isekai.

Myth&Roid never disappoints

I like Listarte and definitey she's the one carrying the show with her facial expressions and tsukkomi and the OP by MYTH&ROID is better too than Isekai Shit Magician.

Alright Now that i have watched the first episode i can finally say my thoughts on it.

Well it had an ok start but i felt kind off by it.

I Feel like it tried WAY to hard on trying t deliver the jokes, especially the amount of exaggeration and character personality traits.

Also i am seeing way to many similarities with another series Konosuba with this one in both of the main leads, with the goddesses personality seems similar to Aqua and The main leads straight dead pan humour is similiar to Kazuma's although he does not his perverted and shadeness at least(not yet anyway.

Even the animation is like it's trying to copy's deen style for konsubas animation. In that regard White fox is actually doing alright and i still refuse they had to do anything with arifuerta as that definitely was more on Asread side.

Which is more irionic by the fact that it is airing on the SAME DAY as Hataage which is written by the same author for Konsuba and while it does also share similiar themes, its first ep was enough to be less of a copy of that than this one.


Well i still like it enough to continue watching it for now but if it hopes to get my interest higher it needs to move more away from that and establish it's own identity.

Also Myth and Roid...Another fantastic track as ever, they sure have come along way since there debut single with Overlord. Keep it up :)

Damegami who is also a pervert, very nice, guaranteed a good anime for me. I like the way Ristarte knows about the isekai phenomenon and I found it funny that the names on her paper stack are so repetitive. I found her buzzer thing funny as well as it made me think she's a narcissist for having a figurine of her for that. Lastly, Ariadoa made Ristarte look normal by comparison, especially looking at them from the side during their chat . ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Alike to Seiya being overly cautious about his situation, I am similarly over cautious about another isekai. However thus far it has strayed somewhat from the standard and formulaic approach followed by a considerable amount of entries in a plagued genre. The humourous dynamic between Listarte and Seiya seems to be the foundation around which the show is built, and is solid enough to keep interest. There's hope yet. We may end up with a decent parody isekai.
Great to have 'MYTH & ROID' back for the op as well.
RIP slime.

Funny and amusing first episode!

Rista is pretty, sexy and their expressions are really hilarious, "SIX PACK"!

It is really funny how much cautious is Seya, i laugh a lot when he spammed skill over a lvl 1 slime!

The demon that appeared in the end was really powerfull, obvious Seya would run!

The image before ending was really funny!

I didn't expect it to be this funny, the goddess and her inner thoughts are priceless!

The premise is basic, but it's nice to see it from another perspective. Hope this won't disappoint and will only get better.

live posting:

I only read a few chapters of this beforehand, but it wasn't as addicting as reading ascendence of a bookworm. Not sure what to think of this ahead of time.

the isekai meta talk as she goes through the papers, lol.

aww, they didn't sub the full text of the papers. (Probably a good thing, since that usually comes out looking super awkward.)

chalk in her bust, lol.

nice OP, yooo! can't wait to see him burn down a church

oh damn, a girl with sleeves that go past her hands. she looks like a villain, tho

"oh, six pack" PFFFT!

ew, her voice when stuffed with food sounds so nasally

I forgot that he was so paranoid...

oh yeah, here's the overkill I expected, wasted on a slime.

oof, that ending shot. Rip to anyone thinking Rista was pretty, lol

cool-sounding ED, i guess

~~
gonna keep watching this for now. I love comedy anime, after all~

Not bad, but so far it felt like a less funny version of KonoSuba. Hopefully they have a clever way to twist the joke, because I can already see it getting old in a few episodes.

Pretty funny first episode, Seiya and Ristarte make an amusing pair. The only question will be if the show can maintain its humour and not fall into the generic trappings of the genre (it has used some so far, but differently enough I can overlook it so far).

Also, wow, that MYTH&ROID OP was absolute garbage, really bad by their standards.

Wery unpopular opinion, but Myth&Roid produce only... vocal litter. It just so happens to have a lot of loud sounds and featured in popular (however quality-less) series. Analyzing their songs would provide more insight into this problematic, but not like I am going to waste a fibre of existence on them.

Am I stupid or some... less complex viewers with all seriousness consider this series to be a contender for something like "Tate no Yuusha"? If anything, this series at least has some decent humour. Without even trying to appear serious, like some third rate series already mentioned in the middle of this input.

Wow, this is entertaining, it got vibes similar to KonoSuba and I like it. The characters were funny, I like how cautious Seiya is that it makes everything funny. The way he intended to level up on the room just by exercising was funny, as well as when he repeat the same strong spell just to defeat a weak slime.

Take a look at my webnovel, read and seek the hidden truth behind the cursed ducks.

Rista's reasoning for always choosing a Japanese person as her hero-- "apparently books about people being reborn in an alternate world are popular in Japan. therefore, he should understand the situation quickly" -- this is already too meta for me.

tbh i never thought an anime with shitty anime and a generic isekai nonetheless can be so enjoyable lol

the main female lead's voice is the best part of this episode for me. She has such a wide range of voice it got me chortling in mirth so many times. her expression in the end had me dying roflmfao!!! you're not supposed to be a demon dammit!! X'DD

i can only hope the animation gets better and they fix the male lead's face. he looks kinda weird. his manga counterpart looks a lot cooler

Lol I've been looking for the page of this anime since yesterday.

This was way better than I expected. I expected this anime to be very generic but it turns out to be very entertaining. I really did not expect the animation to be great.

The goddess reminds me of Aqua except she's not useless hahaha and the MC's cautiousness is so funny.

First, are we sure this is not done by Trigger instead of White Fox? I'm getting strong Trigger vibes.

Second, I found Listarte annoying despite her gracious looks, which is very rare for me to feel like that towards female characters.

Third, comedy is somewhat 'tryhard' with overreactions.

Not a good start but not bad enough to drop on the spot either. At least I'm glad that isekai(s) are starting to try something new instead of following a textbook, even if that 'something new' is bad.

Isekai parody, next to Kemono Michi??? I can see this becoming another favourite next to said series.

Ristarte (or Rista) for short, she's just like Aqua, want the benefits without the work. Annoying stupid, but that's her character from the get-go. She reminds me of Jashin-chan in the joking appearances.

As for "summoned hero" Seiya, although in appearance he's EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS, but I'm not gonna hold my hopes up for now. Even as far as going plus being OP and going Super Saiyan, he's ridiculous to the insanity.

Episode 1, and enemy in sight. The end card is simply...wonderful??

Intriguing watch, could be good, could be bad. We'll just have to see.

This first episode was quite cool, the hero reminds me a bit Goblin Slayer : using expensive and powerful attacks/items for supposedly weak creatures while showing a serious face.

Hilarious, i love it.

The more you know about how a lot of isekai goes, the more its funny when the MC breaks it. The goddess is the one trying for the standard isekai but the MC gives no farqs about what she expects.

The slime overkill was hilarious as well

Uhm, this whole comparison between Aqua and Listarte is kind of weird because for starters in Konosuba the tsukkomi was Kazuma. I think regardless of a few common traits Aqua and Listarte are polar opposites in the comedic placement of their respective shows.

And yes, this was a great and fun ride. Seiya's single quirk was hilarious in this episode (perhaps it will wear out, but right now it's working) and the huge effort in animation and voice acting put in Listarte's performance it's charming and lovely, and it really adds to the show's comedy.

Surprising early favorite of the season for me.

How is this a Konosuba ripoff? Did Konosuba invent comedy and parody in isekai?

Agreed that it's a bit annoying that people mention Shield Hero which has nothing to do with this show.

So... this is White Fox's redemption from Arifureta?
(I know the author basically fired them in the middle of production, but their name is still attached to the anime)

Looks very promising so far. Very Trigger like animation. Not to mention, "soka" is back.
