| Used to read this one when it was just a web novel so I'm totally not biased at all. Probably everything I want from an isekai. |
  |
| I decided to binge this. Honestly it started off well, but just kinda got worse as it went on which is kinda a shame. It was an isekai so I did not get my hopes up to high, but considering that first part of the series it felt like it had the potentially to be decent for the genre. Also the last part really felt out character/place regarding the fight with the inferno magician for Ryo especially after Abel intervened. |
| I liked how uncompromising Ryo was when his friends got harmed for no reason. He is absolutely on right point to just kill off that useless symbol of bad luck. Water beats fire ez, in the end it's just a misunderstanding fight for 2 mins. Such a useless arc. And this compromised Sera screentime. She deserved more screentime. Only among three good things about the anime alongside the banger OP and pretty looking water/ice magics. Story was mid and at times very boring. Except the akuma fight and few early episodes didn't interest me that much. But wasn't bad either. Defination of mid Isekai. But not a formulaic garabge. 6/10 This has higher MAL score than Shield Hero is a disgrace. |
| The final involving Oscar is the worst part of this series. The misunderstanding was totally forced and bullshit. One of them was dressed in a priest's robe and could use a holy spell. How could a bandit dress or use a spell like that? Oscar is a fire user, but he didn't need to be a hot head like that. He attacked them without asking anything. He lacked the maturity and composure necessary as a leader. Actually, he was also the one at fault. As a top-ranked soldier, he should have stayed at the manor, not strolling in the city market. Eto's group, at the very least, should have introduced themselves or tried to tell Oscar like who they are. But they also didn't talk about anything. And, also, who were those raiders? What were their goals? In the end, we didn't know anything about them. It was like they were just a plot device used for the misunderstanding between Oscar and Ryo. |

| Literally just why does that arc with the fire mage and the princess exist? The mc got pushed out of his own show and had almost no screentime while we're supposed to care about some randoms. The biggest insult was them expecting the viewer to care about ryo's roommates at the fight in the end. This could've been really decent if they just continued what they had. I don't even mean the first few episodes, but the mid point where ryo was hanging around in town lune or whatever its called. Focusing more on the characters that were already introduced and on the mc himself would've made for a much more entertaining spectacle. |
| A little taken aback honestly that the series is still presently sitting at a 7.12 ratings-wise, but possibly shouldn't be surprised. It's just incredible when you think about some other series on the site by comparison which are rated down into the 6s. |
TrashWaifuHater said: an MC with basically no ambition makes for a dull story and it shows It's all about the execution, you have to put "the elbow grease" elsewhere. Take as an example "Tanaka is always listless" series, that show works insanely well because half of the cast calls out Tanaka's lack of enthusiasm, and the other half think he's some sort of brilliant mind. There's a lot of charm in every single character despite the main focus being Tanaka being listless. In contrast there's nothing quite interesting, exciting or even amusing in the main protag or the sidecast of the wooder magician ajw215799 said: I’m 24 actually, I just don’t like Dandadan People say that the 40s are the new 30s and 30s are the new 20s. Same train of thought applies to the 20s, acting like they are in their teen years still. |
| Decent finale. Since I really enjoyed how furious Ryo was with Oscar, I’m curious about their “significant conflict” that’s supposedly happening in the future at some point. But that means I’ll have to read the source, since this isn’t getting a second season, so never mind, I guess. Was a fun ride while it lasted. |
| Wow this is actually pretty good. If Ryo finished his training with Fairy King maybe he will become much stronger. Judging from how he acted, it seems that he has been in that world for many years. He kept training from not being able to lift an icicle to many icicles now. I'm looking forward on his alchemy learning, if he can make golem it will become more interesting. Overall pretty good, looking forward to next season. Denkenisme said: There’s nothing to complain about regarding the graphics and art style of this anime. But the story is inconsistent. Some episodes are good, but most are mediocre or even bad. In particular, episode 11 — Oscar’s flashback — was really terrible. And episode 12… what even was that? Oscar came off as arrogant and stupid. He accused and attacked someone without asking first, and when he realized he was wrong, he didn’t immediately apologize. Ryo’s attitude at the start of the episode also felt out of character. Instead of looking cool when he got angry, his reaction just felt weird. And now they say in the later story, Oscar will cause problems for Ryo again? Seriously? This guy is already a mess — foolish, arrogant — and he still refuses to admit his mistakes? He’s going to keep being a problem? I’d rate this anime an 8 for graphics and art style, but only a 5 for the story. I don’t know how the original source material — whether it’s a novel or a manga — handles the story, but as for the anime, the storytelling is inconsistent and overall quite poor. Oscar was not in calm state of mind when chasing the princess, he found those 3 hoarding the princess so it's very understandable for him to attack those 3. Oscar did apologize, it's mentioned by Abel.  Oscar's group is guests from other country. A lot of people were dead too so no wonder it will become issue in the future which will involve Oscar again. I agree that his flashback was pretty bad, it ended abpruptly without knowing why he survived and why his hair color changed. |
| I really liked the background music that played throughout this show (the piano one especially,) since it offered the much needed life to the show. The ending is underwhelming and a bit of a letdown considering that the animation tanked the past couple episodes, but overall I appreciate the journey that was offered. The show was a true generic medieval-fantasy isekai, but even so, it possessed its own cozy(ish) identity/vibe. |

| @LeonLanford I understand his sense of unease, but seeing several of the criminals lying there, Oscar should have at least asked them first before recklessly attacking a group of adventurers who were weaker than him. The clash happened purely because of Oscar’s foolishness—he didn’t even bother to ask. And yes, it’s true that Oscar apologized, but he didn’t do it directly at the scene after the confrontation between Oscar and Ryo ended. Instead, he only conveyed it through Abel. Such an arrogant move. He should have been able to recognize that Ryo could very well have defeated him. Throughout the anime, if Oscar keeps causing trouble for Ryo, I can say that this character is the most nonsensical one in the entire series. |

| @Denkenisme He did not know the lying people were criminals or may not even see the bodies. In that state he was in panic and won't even bother to ask. Remember his previous trauma which bandits killed his family 2 times before? The flashback made viewer understand why he took that action. Oscar may be very busy after that assault and can't meet those three, remember that he's supposed to guard the prince and princess? He's not nonsensical in my opinion. Dunno why you seem to really hate Oscar lol. edit: add image  |

| What a missed opportunity and frustrating writing. Ryo didn't even hurt Oscar a bit. Abel's interference was nasty. Oscar "apologized" off-screen. Using the full scale of the rating, it would be 4/10 for me. |
| Fire guy lucky Abel intervened. Also they seemed like they didn't care there were casualties in the raid lol. The action was fun, but only when Ryo is involved. Other than that, it's quite bland. 7/10 |
 |
| Ryo was ready to freeze the world. Sera was the only real bright spot, the rest was just average at best. Not good, but not bad either. Gets the dreaded 5/10. |
 |
| The fight between him and inferno mage was cool. but that couldn't save this nothing burger of an anime. it was trash. first few episodes had me enticed. and then it went downhill faster than an anvil dropped off a sky scraper. 4/10 |
| God I love it when the MC gets pissed off and is ready to kill on sight :} Was hoping for a bit more action between Ryo and Oscar, but it seems like Abel was right in stopping the two from clashing anymore. I really enjoyed this show and hope we get to see Ryo and his water magic again soon. But I must say this show really shone when it was just the bros in the first arc making their way to Lune. |
