| Given the current state of their world, this gives survival vibes. Jose and Kai are the main leads here. Then, there's the demi-fiends and ogres although I wonder if there's a main antagonist in the show or just just a war between the factions. Jose so far leaves a decent impression but he has to show a lot more for his character. Good to also know this show is taking itself seriously so no nonsense in the story. I think this might have some potential. |

| Tsukasa Tanimai's series is quite the intriguing series going into traditional historical fantasy. The ruthless brutal warfare between humans and demi-human tribes, such as the Ash Monkeys of Macaques dealt by guardian bearer Olha, the son of Moloha Vezin, to save Lag Village, he is one of few people who is revered with the godstone, which replenishes their spiritual energy. But for the ordinary village boy of Kai who has to work hard to become strong, he has quite the unorthodox energy to see memories of people in another world, induced into his own memory, but trying to command the magic to work is the knowhow that he doesn't know how to activate. Together with his buddy and leader Manso, Kai gets along with the village people, though the horde of orgs that he thinks he can defeat one of them by trying to use his fire magic, it put him on the line of fire towards death not knowing the side effect of using magic that burns his spiritual energy faster than most, and furthermore to get dragged by the same org towards the ocean, facing imminent death for real. Aimi Noda's OP and AKB48's sister group STU48's ED are just alright. Asahi Production's animation seems better this time than Fruitmaster last season. A traditional fantasy with a reverse Isekai twist, Teogonia is quite the intrigue. |

| PLEASE STOP RATING!!! less than 4 means that you don't know how to judge Anime / Manga!!! best recom on https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh or Discord https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7 |
| Hmmm..... STU48's ED. No wonder why I felt an idol-ish vibe while listening to the song. |

| This world’s seriously brutal—how can anyone live in peace when demi-human tribes are constantly attacking one after another? But life’s about to take a major turn for our protagonist. With memories from his past life, he gains knowledge of magic and starts applying it in this world. Like your classic weak-to-OP protagonist arc, he’s nearly killed by an Ogre… until he pulls off some fire magic just in time. The show’s definitely interesting on its own, but yeah, I wasn’t a fan of how the episode ended either. Kai could’ve used the blade on the Ogre, but nope—for plot reasons, we had to let the Ogre carry him all the way to the river. Classic. |

Love the first episode and it's interesting to see a female warrior like Kai uses magic. It seems that they are using godstones to refill their spiritual mana. The orgs attack their company and Kai finally able to create a fire magic, and it's a literal cliffhanger at the end. This anime has a potential to be good, the animation was on fire! 🔥  |

| From an initial glance, its giving Twelve Kingdom's vibes, but of course it adds in demihumans as antagonists. But at least the setting is finally different than the slew of other isekai that we've been getting over the years, looking more like ancient Asian countries than what most typical isekai do, which is more European fantasy type settings. |

The first episode of Teogonia made a packed start. Although the art was simple, the animation and fight scenes were average. It didn’t bring any major innovations or surprises, but it was a nice episode in terms of starting. I’m curious to see how the upcoming episodes will turn out. |

| Well, that was... Fine, I guess? It felt pretty unremarkable. |
| What I've seen so far is interesting, but it has yet to impress me. |

| @Chillmanga I'm sorry if I had a wrong impression about his gender. I read the description of the anime and it said that he is really a male. 😭 |
| Wait what? Japan's Avatar cartoon? |

| Not much more pleasure derived from watching than from initially reading the synopsis, considering the fact that it's an introductory episode and a fairly basic and standard one at that. But the world holds enough promise to be further fleshed out and become sprawling chaotic fun. I like these neverending war anime which are essentially about just one large intractable conflict extending out in every direction and the rival ideologies, interpersonal conflicts and drama, and internal conflict and demands of inward reflection & growth contained within and partially borne of that overarching conflict. This seems to be a pre-industrial age, but we're seeing scenes of rural tribal villagers. There are rural villages all around the world on our planet today which in isolate look 100 years or a few centuries back in the past. So it's not enough context to tell how advanced their whole nation and civilization or the whole human species in this world is, basically. (Western-style) ogres, orcs/goblins, and the Japanese-style (porcine) orcs are such standard go-to fantasy baddies I'm so accustomed to seeing fantasy (including isekai) works inundated with them, and even though, at least in the English subtitled translation I watched, the pig demi-humans are called ogres, they're not like either Western ogres or oni, but more like those Japanese-style orcs rearing their heads again. But the macaque demi-human fighters are a type of opponent we don't normally get to see. The main thing which has been weighing on my mind over this episode though is once again the isekai aspect. Is it just one of the ones which doesn't really "need" to be isekai and which the role of the main character's previous life and identity and all those other world references will be extremely marginalized and seldom brought up going forward or will it actually be heavily plot relevant? If it's the former case then it will just come off like another of those series cashing in on the isekai trend without using it thoughtfully to much effect. I am curious about the mechanism at play in the reincarnation here though. Perhaps those who regularly watch a boatload of isekai and have seen far more than I can weigh in, but are there other ones like this in which the main character's perspective is entirely from the completely brand new consciousness of the new person in the (non-Earth) other world and their only knowledge of and connection to that previous life and person is through fragmented glimpses in dreams/daydreams/visions? Because in last year's The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash it followed a similar approach, but that one was still unique and different from this due to - something I had never seen before. Either way, this is the second to last series on my cobbled together, makeshift, aspirational list for this season which hadn't aired yet (the last being Mono, which finally airs today!). It definitely wasn't impressive and immediately gripping enough to make me decide to watch it in full like a few shows this season deftly managed so far, but nor bad enough/enough of a turn-off for me to drop after one episode either like a few other shows, so this is definitely a wait and see, give it two or three or so episodes and see how it goes type situation. |

| This had a solid start. I liked it. It's rare for an isekai MC not to know they've been isekaii'd or anything about their previous life. |
| I liked the narrated title card and the show starting with the OP, gave me 2000s/90s anime vibes and I'm all for it! So far we don't know much about the supposed prophecy that will affect Kai, so I'm curious to see how things will go from now on. |
   |
| This show has potential, but could end up being something very basic. Time will tell. |
 |
| well that was a decent first ep ig. kinda cool how the mc doesn’t even know he’s been isekaied lol that’s new for me. but eh it’s not really enough to keep me watching. the fight scene was meh, convo between characters didn’t hit, and the world just feels boring so far. maybe i expected too much but yeah it was just too plain. |

| That Pig-man is pretty tough. Thought for sure he was bacon after the blazing inferno engulfed his face. Felt like he was just standing there getting cooked for a good minute too. Pig-man shook that shit off quick and went for the ring out victory. MC probably should have went for that belly slice a bit sooner. Now they are both in the soup. It was fairly underwhelming and the dialogue was pretty bad. They kept doing the thing where two characters are talking to each other, but explaining the world to the viewers in the most unnatural way possible. It wouldn't have been that bad, but they just kept doing it multiple times to where it was distracting. Even aside from that though, it was pretty average. I'm already watching a ton of shows, so probably not going to continue this one. I will pick it back up if I hear good things. The OP and ED both sounded really nice on the first listen. Going to have to add those to playlists and see if they stick. I almost want to continue watching just for them. :P |

| Not a bad series, until they dropped the isekai genre. Instead of learning who he was back then in Japan, he forgot who he is, but was able to remember things he didn't know... Either way is fine, but MAL not tagging this as isekai is.. 😅 For now, it's passable... Let's see how they animate this series. 🤔 |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

| @jrry_kn Kai is male. |
gh0stwriter said: The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash... has a similar protagonist that doesn't have a clear sense of who they were before. The difference there is Femicia/Ivy and her previous life are actually two separate distinct consciousnesses. We as the audience don't get to hear what they sound like, but he or she actually talks to Ivy as like a voice from within her head. That's never been done in isekai before, at least to my knowledge and that I've seen. Kai in this series seems to have residual buried memories. It's closer to how it's thought it would work in real life if reincarnation existed and people could somehow access memories of their previous life through dreams, meditation, etc. |
| I watched 6 minutes of the first episode and thought "the exposition is clunky, and they are not showing us the action... I want to see the monkey's head being chopped off". I have better things to do with my time. Thank you very much. Oh, and I also didn't quite like the opening song. During the entire thing I was critizing the singer for not having the voice to actually sing. Nevermind. |

| I had the volume 1 and I wanted to read it before, to be sure if I'll watch it, I did and I guess its fine But the anime is cutting a lot, mixing and interverting moments, for episodic reasons I guess.. This first part was fast imo, and the animation is meh And of course, zero blood, the manga is way bloody, we miss the old bloody animes... Ive stop at volume 1 one so I cant say much, but I dont think its Isekai, for now, people need to stop freaking out just because we saw a modern city, but I understand Maybe he's a time traveler who doesnt know it, or an previous life he forgot, or memories from someone else from somewhere else, reincarnation, Idk ~ The title is all about gods, and demi gods, Im sure its gonna be all explained |
| Not a bad intro ep. An unwitting isekai'ed MC, ha? |
