| AbemaTV streams this a week early. Episode is fine even though the goddesses in these type of shows all seems to have the same type of personalities. The main guy Takumi Iruma gets the alchemy skill which turns out to be far more than what he bargained for. Not much else to say as their world contains the typical fantasy stuff including the usual creatures. Iruma better get used to his skill..although I guess it shouldn't be hard given what alchemy can do in this show. |

| ABEMA Early Weekly Airing. Novelist Maru Kogitsune's series is a return to the "Am I the Greatest" shitck found in all of Isekai. Can be fun, let's see. DIALOGUE+ is nostalgic news, and this OP...is kinda OK. Same goes with harmoe's ED. The nobody of Takumi Iruma being mixed up with the summoning of heroes towards the fantasy world of Asgard, Mildgard, in the Holy Sidonia Empire, to then be offered any skill he wishes from the Goddess of Lady Nolyn (which conspicuously IS Aqua's VA Sora Amamiya of KonoSuba fame) as compensation (and adding her blessing of protection), with the jobs being offered just like any game-like RPG is a starting point alright. From figuring out what he can do, to saving a girl out of trouble from monsters, and learning as he goes. The chosen heroes, on the other hand, get their standard Isekai-summoned introduction at the Holy Sidonia Empire, and this is only the start of their troubles. Takumi meeting hunter Banga and his wife Martha by bringing their daughter Molly back to the village where she came from, and already he's making his fame and reputation known by becoming the alchemist and blacksmith he wanted to be by helping fellow blacksmith Bobon with the fusing of different ores into ingots, but too much mana usage can literally dry him to death. But to come across a Huge Armored Boar stronger than him, and an injured Poison Spider missing a part of its legs to help Takumi a bit to help defeat it, it eventually stuck with him taming it, thinking of him as a friend and naming it Maple with its evolution into a Killer Spider, and the village benefits from his endeavors once more bringing the boar back for a celebration. And to think that Takumi's summoning was a year before the actual hero summoning, what gives of the world-building going forward? This is a start alright, it's decent. |

| The first episode establishes a classic isekai premise, with the protagonist being transported to another world and gaining special abilities. In terms of narrative, the episode quickly sets up the setting and the protagonist’s objectives. However, the story could delve deeper into Takumi’s motivations and better explore the world around him, avoiding common clichés of the genre. |
| it was not a bad ep nothing wow,but why not, i will see after 3 eo if I continue |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| Reincarnated guy against his will having a good time, good watch so far. Power chart seems kinda non existant right now. Hopefully the skills gimmick wont be too shallow. |
| . |
| Decent enough start Takumi seems a really nice guy |
| There are a lot of so-so isekai in the current season... Well, artwork is there at least. Some logic, I guess. It's nothing so far. But it's not disgusting either. It's worth watching the next few episodes. The first one is a practical standard run. It's like entering the game menu. Hopefully the secondariness will end and there'll be something. |
| I basically picked this one because I knew DIALOGUE+ would be doing the OP lol, the premise sounded like it could be fun but it wasn’t one that jumped out at me when I was picking Winter 2025 shows, but you give me DIALOGUE+… I come running lol, always love hearing this group in an anime season, not sure how I’d pair it with their past songs yet but I do really liked it, and it’s not their only OP/ED this season either. I also really liked harmoe’s ED, I’ve only heard them in two other shows but they make cute and catchy songs, I still hum “Love is a Potion” often lol, and the visuals of the waifus were quite tasteful, they’re definitely something I’m looking forward to in this show. And as for the episode itself, it was the typical Isekai start, our MC Takumi got sent to another world and quickly started getting abilities and skills, and in the process befriended villagers and got himself a spider companion, and the spider is definitely cute too, I don’t mind that it talks really, although I thought it would become a waifu at first lol, looks like that may not be the case. There’s an interesting thing happening with the plot in this one tho with Takumi being sent to the past while the chosen ones are in the present, I can see some cool things happening with that. But overall this seems like it’s gonna be more of a chill Isekai show, if so I’ll be happy but I’m down to see if Takumi’s alchemist path brings in some action too. |
| Just another isekai, nothing too new |
| It also reminds me a lot of "A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring", same preamble. If the local mc-kun has more balls than his counterpart, it would be more interesting. |

The funny thing being, both MC’s were guys named Takumi who received blessings from a deity before being sent to their respective new worlds

Trivia-man-Frank said: Ah, so this is the kind of Isekai where they acknowledge the existence of Isekai and are aware of the premise... I love those, so much potential for meta humor. Poor guy, summoned to another world because a God made a mistake- I can think of a few protagonists that can relate, lol. Always enjoy a nice, light hearted Isekai and I hope this is the one for this season. Probably won't be spectacular, but its something I can enjoy. Looking forward to next week Yes, so far, it looks like it’ll be pretty average—which isn’t a bad thing. It seems like it’ll be a decent, enjoyable watch. I just hope they don’t ruin it later by introducing tired clichés or turning the protagonist into a slow, dull, hint-missing, criminal-forgiving, talk-no-jutsu type of guy. |
| Norn has a better character design than Aqua... lmao I'd rather have Norn than the drunkard Aqua. MC has a very generic personality and voice actor, in a sense where there's yet to be something that would make him standout... probably. P.S. The Character design is good, because, fortunately, the animation is solid and smooth. My current expectations: 9/10 |

| 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. |
| that was very generous of the goddess to give him some really OP-ish skills. the other girl summoned with the guys was gifted with a good skill, and although she didn't hear the goddess's warning to our MC, her instinct activated a good skill for her to use & she was right to not trust that woman. will her path cross with our MC's i wonder. |

| intersting for episode, we will see where this leads |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| Close enough, welcome back Aqua. It’s not the most original story is it? But the fact it’s self aware of itself and able to make fun of common isekai tropes means this has the potential to be fun. Takumi’s alchemy ability has some interesting possibilities and most importantly, the girls look cute. Sending him back one year in the past instead of to present day is also an interesting development. We’ll see where it goes, again low expectations but first ep wasn’t bad. |

| I loved the first episode! I'm really curious if anyone has read the original? Because, as the commenter above wrote in the manga Takumi was moved to a new world 3 years before he was isekaed and I have my doubts about whether it made sense for manga adaptation to stretch out the plot, but maybe I'm wrong. I think it was the anime's writer who shifted the time frame from 3 years to a year to fit everything nicely into 1 season. |
| Nolyn's super support is awesome. Takumi already has a versatile skill set and a great place to call home. I can't neglect to mention that reveal of her sending him into the past one year before the hero summoning. She must have really disliked this extra work that holy sidonia empire left for her to deal with. Also Akane's first skill being a blaring warning that she's in trouble is wild. I can't help but wonder what exactly that empress has in store for the heros. |

| They took so much inspiration from Konosuba for the scene before the OP, they even had Aqua's VA in the role of the clumsy/silly goddess, haha loved it. Other than that, it genuinely looks like a really fun slice of life isekai. It's only the beginning and we haven't met yet the cute female cast but I already love the MC, his pet spider and the villagers! The story about the empire, sending him back into the past and the guys summoned from our world... are all intriguing facts for sure, I imagine it will play a role in the later stages of the show. Was not expecting anything coming into this one, but it looks like it has some solid writing and voice acting, so I'm looking forward to the rest of the series :) |

i like the characters, beside the goddess. Takumi isn't a battle junkie who's overconfident with his OP skills and the villagers are nice folks where they welcome the outsider and made him a home. Takumi shares a boar's meat together and a comment between villagers that Takumi's presence made the village brighter are just wholesome moments. nice episode...for an isekai
| @Adverrito Um... For a village in the pre-industrial era, this was the norm. And, yes, you would hardly rush to build a house overnight. In reality, it would normally take a peasant community about a week to build a house. With magic, they could do it in an evening. The surprising thing is that they accepted him into the community so easily. And hospitality, like letting him stay the night, was a normal practice. |
| My this was a first episode with alot going in quite a high tempo. Wish we could see more of him trying to figure out things, because it seemed like he knew how to do everything from the get go. Oh well, i ended up enjoying the episode non the less, and will be looking forward to seeing how the story will build up (though the end seems to give quite clear hints as to the direction it will head). I wonder if Takumi could hear the spider talk, or if that was just a treat for us viewers. He didn't seem to really react to any of it |
  ⠀ ⠀ 【Ｎａｗｉｃ】 Enjoy the shows you love, relish the feelings you have, but never forget to keep an open mind. Challenge yourself and you'll truly find your own thoughts and feelings. |
| It seems to be a happy enough show, plenty of cute girls per usual, I'll keep watching for that cute spider, I liked the MC, just a chill carefree guy. |
| An unpromising anime, just delivering the classic and basic isekai that has been repeated over the years Well, this first episode shows the protagonist being summoned "accidentally" by a mistake, and because of that he reincarnates in this world, where he gains blessings and everything... which is strange that the protagonist doesn't want fighting skills, maybe in next episodes he has this thought that he will need this, well let's wait until then. |
| Not a terrible start. Interested enough to keep watching I guess. I want to see what exactly the Goddess has planned for MC, like why did she send them a year before the others were summoned? And they told the summoned heroes to not trust that queen or whatever? Seems a bit off. Maybe she's counting on MC helping the heroes when they get there in some way. |
