| Welp, it looks like the episode decided to show off what main protagonist Mathias is capable of with a test and his fighting abilities. Lurie and Arma also makes their appearances and seems to be impressed by what they see. Mathias also seems like the type of guy who isn't shy to show off his skills. For what's worth, the episode introduced magic as a major element for its combat system. Lurie and Arma needs to work on their magic though. |

| Ah yep, another J.C.Staff fantasy show. But novelist Shotou Shinkou has this show and another adaptation coming up soon this year: Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life a.k.a My Isekai Life. This thankfully ain't Isekai (though the premise is just like so), but it presents much of the same tropes seen in other shows done a million times before: reincarnated OP character being the strongest sage (Matthias "Matty" Hildesheimer) with a harem of girls (Alma Lepucius and Lurie Abendroth), with 4 crests they're borne with that determines different powers, except that Matty himself has the weakest of them all, the Crest of Failure, which can only do enchantments (that unfortunately exhibit the same OPness). And that wordless magic incantations are a thing, plus that baddies will find every nook and cranny to scratch his ego. The disparity between Academia of "how to use magic" is just so plain, that Matty's way of the Lost Art of wordless spellcasting is the only way to differentiate between academic schools of being on top. This is just a generically mediocre start. Also, speedrunning through an adaptation is always a no-no, which this episode did (manga or LN-wise). |

| Oh great, another isekai that is actually not isekai, but it also actually is with OP main character named John Panzerkampfwagen with black hair because Japan does not know other colors for their main male characters other than the black color. Also did PoRo made this ? |
 |
| For a premiere this was way too fast paced. So much happened in just one episode. Character design, visuals were pretty basic. Didn't find Lurie to be that cute, I like Arma more. Allright start for now, not hoping for much. |
 |
| A non-isekai anime that looks like an isekai. The first episode's pace was quite fast. BTW, the OP, Leap of faith, will be the last song for Yoshino Nanjo as fripSide. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| This perfectly fits into the vast amount of mediocre/terrible, forgettable fantasy anime out there. And this was poorly paced too on top of this and looks really flat too. Bonus points for ridiculous name for MC that I'll never be able to remember since its like many of its counterparts. |

phantomfandom said: Well at least the headmaster is hot, and the demon is hot, and from the preview, the King should be hot too! Yeah, and the show is a hot garbage too. |
|
| Ehhh a clear self insert power fantasy show, that's a pass from me. |
| Ah, I smell trash isekai, trash isekai that I love to death. An overpowered MC with good animation with a messy pacing? PERFECT. Anyway, that's the weirdest Japanese name I've ever heard. The pacing is speedy as hell but they'll probably do flashbacks and stuff inbetween. Actually, it ain't even an isekai to begin with LOL. |

| Misfit of The Demon King Academy Lite Any% Like it is funny how similar this anime is to Misfit and then doesn't understand why Misfit was so entertaining. Also, with how much happened this episode it feels like we are speedrunning through the story, which doesn't lent itself well to an anime which most of the fun is derived from the reactions of other characters. I am still gonna watch this since it is the most entertaining show of the season so far, but goddamn is it a downgrade from Misfit. |
| Well that was pretty decent for a first episode, I don't have high expectations but this seems the type of show that I will enjoy watching every week. |
 |
| I've seen this story a million times already. Not an ounce of originality. Not sure if I'll continue watching. |
| Am I missing something here? MC was an adult in previous life, why should he blush over a kid girl, do women not exist in previous life? Also why would he afraid against Headmaster when he literally defeat something like a final boss in previous life, or there is no human in previous life as well? Blacksmith mentioned it is hard to enchant, MC literally shown him the crest that is able to enchant and blacksmith instantly reply a crest of failure. ??????? Crest of Glory is well known as high class crest but require user to chant a short time, instructor said MC's crest is useless because of not being Crest of Glory. Despite that everyone still surprise and wow at MC's chant-less spell. ??????? Why ?????? Isn't it a failure crest ????? Lost casting style just because noble don't like it? What? this is actually something, the first time I saw a corrupted noble that don't want something powerful LOL Chant-less magic seeming like a imagination thing (like every other manga out there), why has no one ever thought of it and use it this well despite knowing the existence of this casting style? Are all the people in this anime idiots or what? Don't they use their stupid brain? MC's crest is also seemingly able to do all kind of things, why the heck everyone keep calling his crest failure? So, the people in this anime is really idiot? Just because someone persuade that having more than one crest is failure, then everyone with more than 1 is a failure? -facepalm- What the fuck is wrong with the logic in this anime in just 1 episode? EVERY FUCKING THINGS ARE SO CONTRADICTING!!!! |
| Signature removed. Check your inbox |
| everything went by so fast that it felt like a recap ep lmfao. gl to all the ones that'll be continuing this |
| starts out like every other isekai. But he died in that world and was reborn it seems? but extremely generic. really young kid and more powerful than everyone else with girls fawning over him. |
 |
| I mean...the Devils name was fucking Devilis...what more can I say about this Generic Fantasy anime? |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Isekai or not is merely semantics at this point. This is the OP Gary Stu anime the season. And as always, the girl MC isn't interested in is cuter. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| another one of these...so generic and predictable :( Hoping they can improve |
 |
| Yes, yes and yes. This first episode able to exceed my expectation. It's a bit fast-paced for a debut episode, but I don't believe the storyline is bad. I'm excited to see what this series has to offer. |
 |
| What exactly was the sages motivation to fuckin die and be reincarnated like a thousand years later anyway? Why? |
| Damn this looks like basic as hell and they kinda just speedrun it. |
| Glad I'm not the only one that felt like they were missing something - went by so quick! Really hope this isn't the case every episode, but after watching Seirei and last season's assassin reicarnated, this feels more of the same. |
 |
| Better than I'd expected so I'm happy enough to add this to my guilty pleasures list of ridiculous OP protag shows. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
KuroudoAkabane said: He said he didn't have a 4th crest and his crest had no more room to grow, so I guess he was too OP in his past life and wanted to redo it.I guess it's like when you beat the game but you make a new save to beat it again but with different equipment. What exactly was the sages motivation to fuckin die and be reincarnated like a thousand years later anyway? Why? |
 |
| Oh look another Isekai great |
 |
| Wow, they skipped a lot. I mean, I've been watching quite a few adaptations, but this one is probably one of the most rushed ones I ever saw, which is a pity... I have no clue how people are supposed to connect to any of the characters now... |

| Goddamnit, I hate when anime adaptations straight up skip the childhood years in a reincarnation show. Seriously, WHY? BTW yes, this is a reincarnation plot. You may not have noticed it because the first time MC mentions this is during the end credits. Good job, JC Staff /s Also I know the character designs are based on the LN but I like the manga designs better. What a mediocre start for a series. *sigh* shark420 said: Oh boy, the Manga it self is fast, but they shure rush it here with the story, hope what others say will come true and they give flashbacks that show what they didnt mention previously. JC Staff looked at the manga and said ANIME ADAPTATION ANY% SPEEDRUN LETSSS GOOOO |
| And awful speedrunning adaptation of a nice manga. I did not even bother to end this episode. |
| Well, looks like Matty and Lurie are meant for each other. LOL. As expected, our boy Matty is overpowered and before anything would've happened, he became a teacher who teaches everyone wordless magic spells because he himself is very good at it that he nearly blew the exams. LOL. The final fight was literally one-sided. Good going, Matty. He already found a love interest for himself and already made name for himself in the academy. Going fast AF. |
