Pretty typical fantasy/isekai show. Characters like Yogiri and Tomochika makes their appearances. Sion also makes an impression with her commanding presence.

There are some magic and spells being shown off although the most noticable is Tomochika just being tougher than anyone else. I guess the show lives up to its title so far. An average start imo.

Author Tsuyoshi Fujitaka's completed 14-volume LN generic work here just reminds you so much about Arifureta, in the same literate copy-paste sense.

Hilcrhyme's kinda hip-hop OP...IDK, but it just felt weird. Even Anna Suzuki's debut ED tries to be all hip, but it kinda fails at doing that.

For Yogiri Takatou, reliving his memories while being awakened by Tomochika Dannoura to have a wyvern attack the bus they're in, and thanks to her caressing her boobs on him, he does the one thing he knows best: flex his power...then continue playing his game like what he saw, never happened.

Apparently, their bus got Isekai-ed while on the way to their trip, to be met by the sage Shion who requires them to be sages, granting almost everyone a "Battle Song" of their Gifts...all in the span of a month. Needless to say, people like Dannoura, Ayaka Shinozaki and Yuuichiro Kiryuu didn't get that power, and suddenly throwing them a mission to defeat a dragon, it leaves them vulnerable in the midst of the rest granted a Gift, leaving them as decoys. Which...is where lands both Takatou and Dannoura alive with both Ayaka and Kiryuu dead, though their classmates could care less about them either way.

For the ones who returned: Daimon Hanakawa, Ryousuke Higashida and Yoshiaki Fukuhara, it's clear that they came back to get her, though Takatou's ability to "Instant Kill at Any Target" with a sound of his breath, that makes him one of the most broken Isekai protagonists ever. Even more so, he can sense intents for people to kill him...which if they were adventurers and manage to make it back to their normal life before, then there's definitely a way back home.

Takatou is definitely protecting Dannoura who has no Gift, though he's partially confined to her soft boobs. As for Shion, her right-hand man Youichi giving a status report on the deaths and completion of the first mission, she did not expect an Instant Kill power, though at this beginning stage, it's nothing to worry about.

Not very optimistic for what to see going forward...

Okuruto Noboru is at it again with another isekai, and you know what? It actually seems pretty good.

Yogiri Takatou wakes up in the middle of chaos and destruction during a school trip. He then he realizes his whole class has been whisked away to another world. What's crazy is that he slept through the whole thing and missed out on getting these cool powers (Gift) that everyone else got from a mysterious Sage. To top it off, he and another classmate are ditched by their so-called friends to serve as dragon bait. While Yogiri isn't too bothered by the idea of biting the dust, he reluctantly steps up to protect his only companion.

So, unlike the usual isekai protagonists, this guy decides to poke fun at the whole trope instead of falling into it. His power is pretty straightforward – if he wants something gone, it just bites the dust, no drama. Surprisingly, the fan service I was expecting didn't happen in the episode. Instead, when Dannoura starts speculating that Yogiri saved her for some typical isekai reason like her looks, he casually mentions it's because her boobs were soft, leading her to declare there's no decent man in the world. The animation is solid, handling the magical and mystical stuff well. And even though the main character can wrap up a fight in an instant, the combat scenes are pretty satisfying to watch.

It's funny how I was so sure this series would be just average, but within minutes, I'm totally convinced otherwise.

Initial thought: generic Isekai at it finest.

The lack of situational gravity really bother me, some aspects are briefly explain yes, but most of it treated as inconsequential.

Transported to another world yet barely reacting to the fact, even with prior experiences, it should still warrant some remarks.

Hopefully things will be more nuanced in the future. If not, this series gonna get stale fast.

Having read its manga I more or less already expected another trashy quality isekai, both visually and story wise, but what I did not expect was them to censor some of the deaths. Wow, how lame, it's not even that graphic.

MC ability is literally instant death, the most OP power? Classmates are garbage, wonder if they'll all end up dead. Atleast that general guy should. The sage woman is annoying too. Seems like an average isekai anime. Btw both OP/ED were nice. Hilcrhyme's anime songs are in general pretty good.

So basically, he's not invincible right, he can't stop incoming attack like if there's a hidden attack or when he wants to talk with the opponent but the attack is already launch, cuz it doesn't seem like he know how fast the opponent can launch a punch, at least for now. I hope they made it clear in the future, its not fun if he and her get lucky all the time (plot armor).

Not funny, didn't laugh. My feet are fucking sweating so hard from the cringe. I thought the failures of 2023 could not be topped but I was wrong. This is as bad as https://myanimelist.net/anime/50220

If you can't make it interesting, serious, (I hate to use the word but) nuanced, then by god at least make it funny. 3 ep rule though.

Ah right, this. I thought it sounded vaguely familiar and after looking it up I realized I'd read the novel some time ago and it left such an impression that I didn't have anything more than that nagging sense of familiarity.

Memory's a funny thing though, and seeing this in action was like ripping a scab off an old, festering wound with just a whiff of gangrene to it. It's not the worse isekai out there, but with its bevy of absolutely s**t characters it definitely ranks up there with the obvious similarity to Arifureta. I think I'll just say no and dip out before one of the most obnoxious ones gets introduced next week.

Been seeing this one in the bookstore for a while now. Art always looked interesting, but never really got tempted to pick it up.. first episode has an OK set up. Seems like a mix of high school prodigies have it easy and Arifureta, but there’s no gravity to the plot at all. At least in Arifureta Hajime had to grind to get OP. This dude just spawns completely broken, and not the cautious hero type of funny broken.

MC literally can just say die and people drop dead? What stakes could there possibly be in the story? What challenges will he have to overcome? I suppose that in and of itself isn’t inherently bad, since a lot of people just like seeing really OP main characters and hot girls. But for those with less time on their hands, this probably won’t be a must watch.

Same generic rapey trope with the students wanting to use female lead’s body as a sex toy after killing her.. nothing really stood out here.

I do like the art style and I’ll probably enjoy some aspects of it because I’m an isekai seasonal merchant, but low expectations here. I don’t think there’ll be a compelling narrative, more-so just the satisfaction of seeing the MC kill bad people with his ability.

I do think the girl is really cute too so that’s a plus.

The censored gore given it’s on Hidive was a surprise though.

I really appreciate the way the mc handles his ability. No whining and cringe moralization, he just casually ends his classmates. Most likely a psycho but that's a huge plus, god I hate whiny bitch mcs so fucking much. This thing alone makes Sokushi Cheat better than most isekai.

I had zero expectations and hey, I'm actually not disappointed. It seems pretty bad so far, but there are some good things: for one MC not being a wimpy "nice guy" is good start. I'm also surprised that this sage is a cute girl. Usually I'd expect a middle aged guy with annoying smug face in such role.

Ah, its one of those series. Everyones a dick. I like the main couple at least. This is probably gonna be one of those series where theres only a very select few good people and bad things will happen to most.

The villain sage really caught me off guard. She has the entire demenor of a good character but just blows the face off the driver for no reason. And the female lead's reaction to her classmates being killed in front of her was a bit lacking. Like she doesnt care in the slightest? Not even startled? Thats how it felt to me anyway. Bit weird how calm most of these people are.

I hope we eventually get some romance between the main two but since its not in the tags i wont get my hopes up. Look forward to the MC insta-killing all the dicks. Probably mostly his classmates. (Then again the OP has like 50 billion people in it so I'm expecting a lot of one off introductions then killed since that is the MC's thing) Interesting to see the full class getting isekaied. Only seen that on two instances as far as I can remember. (Arifureta and I'm a Spider So What)

Why did I even expect this to be good.
1st ep thoughts: Nothing made sense. Characters didn't act like real humans at all. Even the dragon was animated badly. Comedy was 3rd rate (tsukkomi by the brown hair girl)

That was pretty good, they’ve captured most of the initial set-up from the LN and also managed to sneak in some of the backstory that was always included at the end of each book as bonus chapters. The OP is really weak, it’s a shame they couldn’t have got something a bit more listenable. I’ll definitely be watching the whole season to see how it turns out as I always enjoyed the various crazy situations that came up.

I’m not sure why Yogiri has those blue strands of hair, that wasn’t in the LNs. That said, just about every isekai protag looks the same so it’s probably to help distinguish him from the pack. I also notice his 3DS from the LN got upgraded to a Switch! 😂

So they started with final part of light novel volume 2. Hopefully, they don't get further than that since then I'm lost. Haha.
Good start on the series in my opinion. Good to see Dannoura make some slapstick comedy.

The MC is great at least. Has some good people skills and sense.

Tomochika might develop into a better character, at least she wasn't completely intolerable.

The current story for now doesn't seem that interesting (some flashbacks). Can derive that the MC already possessed the skill in the real world or has visited one earlier, but it doesn't create any impact or real story building for now.

Some crazy censorship too.

Hopefully the story building will gain some substance or have the MC just 'Die' everyone.

The characters and fantasy leave a lot to be desired. As I think others mentioned, the characters have little to no concern after coming to this world and is just jarring. Then we have creeps being creepy to a girl for the sake of being gross. The MC’s death skill is kinda funny so far so I’ll probably stick around as long as it’s stays funny. Hoping the story gets better in the next ep or two.

People dying left and right but almost no one bats an eye. I think only the teacher and driver acted like a normal human for the few seconds they lived. The whole class just decides without ANY remorse or hesitation to start murdering classmates? No one even questions the magic and being in another world? This defined a new low as the worst isekai I have ever seen.
