Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata Episode 1 Discussion

its not yet out. damn.

meh... The healer lady seems like an annoying bitch

its fun to watch even though the premise is too mainstream

Novelist Kurokata's LN here...it's one more Sokushi Cheat situation again.

Waterweed's OP definitely sounds Shonen, though that's the only good thing about it.

For the average and unremarkable student that is Ken Usato, he just looks the same ordinary person. But being affiliated with the student council, namely both vice-president Kazuki Ryusen and president Suzune Inukami (who looked like they're dating one another), they're just doing the honorary work. Apart from discussing about their future aspirations, someway, somehow, the 3 of them suddenly hearing a sound, to then being Isekai-ed to another world, facing the Llinger Kingdom and its king of Lloyd Vulgast...to request them to become heroes. This is exactly what Suzune envisioned being in another world...though to the chagrin of Kazuki being forced their way here due to desperation. Ultimately, the king and his subjects bowed to them first for the confusion, and thanks to mage Welcie identifying them as heroes...Ken was dragged along for the ride being a nobody.

Still wary of their doubts, the trio gets their magic abilities tested, but with the case of Ken, other than his perfect image of Suzune shattered into a million pieces, he's been endowed with healing magic...so much so that they CANNOT let the ONE person: Rose, the captain of the Kingdom's Rescue Team, know about his powers. That, with Ken unknowingly speaking of his green, emerald powers, the king and the rest try their best to shield him away from her, which to no avail of her stealing him away and training him to be a fine healing magic user...with her team of bandits, or rather subordinates of Tong, Mill, Alec, Gomul and Gurd.

How will Ken survive in the new fantasy world on his own being trained by Rose? As a healer...non-Keiyaru style...

A rather decent start for a typical Isekai...with a bit of comedy being its centerpiece? I highly question it...

Man, this episode was pretty slow. I do prefer that to a pace that's too fast, so it could be worse, but no healing in the first episode is a bit of a bummer.

I liked everything about this except for the most important thing.. the Mc.. I guess I’m just tired of the ultra shy, no self worth, lovable loser trope. Honestly though, I liked the other 2 players in what is this isekai sport but Usato just blows. Maybe it’s not really him exactly but just this “type” of hero.. doing 75% of his stuff by accident, being oblivious to any affection by the opposite sex and having absolutely zero backbone. I gave this a 7 and it’s a deserved 7 for me. Personally I just hope he can grow up a little.. REAL FAST lol.

So there is someone out there who thinks EXACTLY the same thing. But you're wrong about one thing. He's not lovable, just a loser. The way he grabs the other guy's arm when he's scolding the king... I bet his uncle used to diddle his asshole, what a beta pussyboy. You cannot watch stuff like golden kamuy or grand blue, both of which even have actual homo jokes, and then watch this without wanting to kick a kid in the balls.

I mean, if you've seen the pv or trailer you should know, but probably this is all to set up his transformation into an actual man, but they fucking overdid it. Such a contrast was unnecessary.

my perception was probably warped by other stuff I watched today so this take might be trash

Yea I love this show already. Don’t think I’d ever heard of the LN. Great first episode though. Poor Usato, bro’s just been thrust into the craziest situation imaginable

Bumping into two of the most popular kids on the way out of school should’ve been an indication that something bad was gonna happen lol. At least they were both friendly and ended up being totally normal high schoolers

Instead of panicking when being summoned to another world, Suzune straight up embraces it and is excited to get pulled to the other side lol. Stark contrast to the boys

Seems like the situation is pretty desperate in this world. The king actually comes off as a really nice person, just in a bad situation and in urgent need of reinforcements. I appreciate that he promised to send them home ASAP too. Again, Suzune is just geeking out the whole time 😂

Traditional fantasy world appraisal scene.. what’s bad about the orb lighting up green? Well, looks like that’s for healing magic which means Rose, the recovery team leader is going to be after Usato. Hilarious sequence with her chasing after him. All Usato had to do was be quiet until she left the room and he opened his mouth lmao. At least he gets to be trained by mommy dommy

The dorm and crew he’ll be living with seem great, can’t wait to see what type of training Rose puts him through and learn more about the world.

First episode definitely hooked me. Art is gorgeous, Shin-El snapped on the production values. It’s funny and has likeable characters. Let’s see where it goes

@IhnalakoKaina Actually, I think your description of the show and MC is wrong.

The show introduces the MC as the other world views him in contrast to the President and Vice President, as a nobody, forgettable, no one pays attention to him, nothing special, inexperienced, unaccomplished, run-of-the-mill.

The MC expresses being unsatisfied with his life and hopes for some better, even something extraordinary and fantastic. Then they show him being caring and kind with the birds he placed back in the nest, playfully being humorous about the situation.

With the Pres & VP, he is embarrassed at first, because of not having an umbrella, never having talked with the top students everyone praises, he is surprised that the VP knew who he was and is nice to him, then he is kind of taken aback by what seemed like a flirtatious way the Pres was speaking to him.

As they walk, they show him recognize that they are different then how he thought and comfortable enough to open up despite their status at school, honestly speaking to them about how he viewed them before and asking direct questions about their relationship, not acting like those that never speak to them but spread rumors behind their backs, which the other two recognize and compliment.

Then in the other world, while the Pres is acting uncontrollably excited and silly, the VP is angry and demanding to be returned, Usato, although at first confused and concerned about the Pres, he is patiently listening to the king and tries to settle down the Pres & VP, recognizing the difficult situation they are in.

When the VP reminds him of the circumstances, not being a hero and accidentally summoned, then asks why he is not upset, he calmly replies with a levelheaded and mature response, appreciative that he wasn’t treated differently and allowed to go with the Pres & VP, knowing that nothing could be done so working to make the best out of his situation, and he even expressed wanting to help in some way while they are living in this world.

I think the MC is a good character and I think you should give the show a chance.
