To think that good old Gustav was able to return. Looks like his power has increased substantially as well. In a world populated by nations that will think nothing of starting wars showing force equal to and above them is foremost tactic for diplomacy to be successful. Still given his personality making that move must be killing Tsukasa's heart. Ringo's little speech to support him though was nice. Gustav''s storming of the rally though sure was proved to be a tense affair given his strength. While the threat posed by him was vanquished his death did serve to raise the empire's perception of them as well as introduce some rather interesting new characters into the fray. Overall a solid ep that managed to end the threat posed by Gustav pretty well while also introducing some new characters and developments that will serve as potent additions for the hinted sequel. While eliminated the effects that Gustav's last words had on Tsuskasa though sure created some interesting points that can be used to better develop Tsukasa's beliefs.

Honestly, when I saw the ending of this episode, I literally said out loud in a very sarcastic voice, "Wow, they're actually trying to set it up for a second season with more fanservice, bad fight scenes, more cliches, and bad decisions." This show was garbage. I'm glad it's over.

called it 2 weeks ago the "good guys" ended building a nuke which ended up being useless towards Gustav however some steel and a 9mm bullet (correction a rubber bullet!) was enough to finish him off... the fact this trash had the audacity to tease a 2nd season is insane.


there's too many ridiculous plot points to call out for a show that might've turned into something if the writing was even 1/10 decent for now all i can give it is a 5/10 maybe even a 6 due to the art designs being hella good.

I was jaw dropping when the missile killed the "monster".
Just how did, since when, where, why?

"God's Thunderbolt".
"And That's lots of fun"?
"This power will definitely serve as a bridge to happiness for the people of this world"?
What does this even mean?

So the missile explosion is completely healthy?
Nothing such as, radioactive materials in it, Keine solved all those flaws or something.

That's overly generous if you ask me. My final score is 3/10 And that was only because I wasn't entirely disgusted by it even though it was basically trash. The art was pretty generic honestly, but even if it was Violet Evergarden levels of quality, the plot, dialogue, and characters are just so bad that it wouldn't deserve more than a 5 or 6.

Tsukasa changed his mind as this series goes on.
He at first didn't want to stay and not get too much involved in this world's affair and now he seriously thinking of making part of this world one of their countries. why?

Those "threats" Tsukasa refers to, there are lot of them out there. The new enemies seems like they are begging for those missiles to be fired again. So missiles might be used more than too often that might result in destroying the world in my opinion. And "destroying the world" phrase, Tsukasa himself said that to the other six.

But still, they are supposed to be geniuses, they can easily should have take care of things in a way beyond and better than just using a deadly weapon to force opposing people to be peaceful.
I guess there are still limits.

If things are not supposed to make sense, then why the series is even trying to pretend to make sense then?

You dare for put Ascendance of a Bookworm in the same line was this crap
" Dr Stone " ????

Anyways AoB as way better than Choyoyu and as my favorite anime of this season " just losing to Kimetsu no Yaiba as my fav anime of year ".
But I really liked Choyoyu on those 1~11 ep but this this last one as... well
that anime deserved an 25 episodes at least to be a good, but everyone knows when the studios won't wants to spends tons of money on anime thats they don't know if it's will bring back money... " they made mistake at this point in my opinion " .

I think they worried they would run out of source material since they only have 8 for light novel and 7 for manga so hopefully they decided to stop halfway to procure a chance at season 2 but I doubt it. I actually enjoyed some of it and wish I got to be prince at the massage parlor but maybe he might be a she but it’s so weird that every girl in the anime is either flat chested or huge. I thought Roo was very kawaii bc I love animal girls. Anyway it would’ve been nice to at least see who the emperor is or to maybe say there is no emperor and it’s e blue haired general. Also who is the other elf, is she good or bad. I bet we will never know. 6/10

Sticked through just to see how bad this show can get. Turns out it is so bad that it's even terrible at being bad. I had to bump up isekai smartphone to a 2/10 to make place for this show.

The art is actually pretty good, which makes me hate it even more considering how many decent series got shitty studio with no budget.

Now give me a moment to erase this from my memory.

It’s a shame - this show started out fairly decent, and the premise was kinda interesting, but then they started making hi-tech equipment practically out of thin air, which was ridiculous, as they weren’t using magic as an explanation. I was starting to accept the silliness of that, and a few of the mid-season episodes were decent, with the merchant guy, but then the “running as fast as a missile to hand-steer it” thing just really annoyed me. And now with the crystal thing in his chest - a (I guess nuclear?) bomb can’t put a scratch on it, but a sword cuts it and a bullet shatters it. (Extreme eye roll). Not going to miss this show, even though Tsukasa was kinda cute sometimes, lol.

Well... this was at least slightly interesting... kind of... not really. It was just boring, especially compared to other Isekai this season. And the only thing worse than a bad anime, is a boring one, at least to me anyway.

yeah i was being very generous with this show but the more i think about anything related to it i want to rate it lower but i save 4s for the death march's of anime with zero redeeming qualities Choujin was so stupid with how it took everything silly it did head on seriously was laughable it still managed to get me coming back each week to see what more dumb stuff it'd pull

One of the worst anime of this year, can't believe that i lost so many time seeing this shit.
I forced myself because I have no life and it’s week to week but this shit was horrible, the only halfway decent things were that the girls were cute even tho only 2 had some personality, the fan service decent, the op catchy, and while everybody has stupid asspulls they tried limiting it to their respective fields barely, but this and cheat magician are easily in a bloody battle to see which one of their shows are worse. I mean look at that retarded fight in the end and how while spewing fire they could apparently get near him and do the most basic bait and switch ever. And apparently bullets severely limited his speed for some reason, I hates the mc and magician and really wanted them both to die I hate this show so much

it was ok, nothing good but not that bad either, it has lots of flaws but it is a decent way to pass the time

i specially liked Shinobu and will be adding her to my blog as a secondary favorite <3

the other characters weren't as fun for me, but some of them did decent stuff, even if half of those were hard to believe lol

overall i'll be giving it 5/6, one of the lowest this season, not because i didn't like it but because it had those flaws and some characters were too strong for my liking, and because i don't want to give high scores to everything LOL i wonder if i would watch a season 2

It seems that Ringo has her information wrong about Gustave, he's still alive. Being able to penetrate like the Dark Arts, to think that the prodigies could counter this would be a miracle on its own.

To rile up against the "monster" that is Gustave and his insane power, the nation of the prodigies bond together...in the sense that even Tsukasa, the peacemaking politician, has no choice but to subject its citizens to democracy. Tell me if that ever made sense in the first place.

While Gustave etched the truth to Tsukasa, is it perchance that they'll tackle the issue? Even if there is a Season 2 to this, I'll just pass this up.

What a show to forget, the No.5 of 5 isekai worth watching as a dumpster fire.

Thank God this series is finally over. Personally I thought this anime struggled to its way out of the gate due to the plot being all over the pace and lack of character development from the prodigies with the exception of Ringo and Tsukasa. Having Gustave survive took away the destructive power of the nuke and it was a waste of resources. Its a shame because the anime had good character designs and the female characters were either cute or hot.

I give this anime a 3/10 due to the overuse of mayonnaise and I hate mayonnaise. Good riddance and God forbid if this anime gets a second season.

This was quite the enjoyable anime to watch. It was a nice chill watch inbetween the other stuff I watched this season.

This last episode seemed more to be showing us whats the come or whats next in the Light Novel which is a bit of a shame since they basically spent the entire last episode doing so when normally it would just be a 1 minute part at the end.

I think I'll definitely give the Light Novel a try if its been translated since I really like these stories of building a country e.g Log Horizon type of thing.

I did find during the last few episodes it to be funny how cliched some of the scene were with the swoop in to save the day hero style. Like that scene with the doctor coming to help the patients and Shinobu helping that knight. Its a pleasently cringy series.

Honestly, I only watched this show for Lyrule. Idk what the overall plot was meant to be or what direction they wanted to go in, but it wasn't done right at all. I am not sure if the LN's do a better job of explaining this or what. But what the fuck is up with this dude's obsession with the king? Jesus christ, it's weird. his sole motivation is wanting to kiss the king's ass. Then he survives a literal nuke? With just a hole in his chest? This was slightly above isekai cheat magician in my book. but not by much

The premise had a lot of potential and that's why I initially picked it up. Was let down several times but kept on watching just because I hoped that there'd be something good. Gotta say, was disappointed.

It had some moments... but really the only character I actually cared about was Ringo and that was after her backstory was revealed.

Also, can't say it enough times how ridiculous that Aoi guiding the missile scene was.

One of better isekais, at least stayed fun till the end like the nice OP.
Some great stuff with Merchant & a bit of politics/war tactics, and ridiculous stuff like Aoi's missile, Akatsuki as god magician, and "vote nuke republic for happiness" prevents it becoming forgettable.
Gustave overstayed as an op 1D villain, at least give more backstory or details of his power source, and his relation with emperor he seems to adorre. Animation could've been better at points, but designs stayed nice.

It was fun, but I think if they focused more on actually putting their knowledge of the modern world into it instead of just throwing Aoi and Shinobu at nearly every problem then it would have been a lot better. I can ignore Tsukasa knowing some form of martial arts but skills with a gun as well were far fetched.

Surprisingly as one of my least favourite subjects, I enjoyed the Merchant's (can't remember his name) episode the most. Would have been much better if it was a merchant in another world. Or have a series where Ringo has to apply her knowledge of technology to another world. Ringo and the Merchant could really impact the world and rule it without announcing to everyone they're forming an independent nation!

It started well. Those first 3 episodes were good. Then my brain got shut down due to the genericness of all this. A concept that i found interesting (the different prodigies and their desire to change the world according to the skills/knowlegde they have in each of their areas of work) turned out to be underwhelming because the characters had little to 0 development and the story didn't click with me at all. I reached a point where i just stayed for the fanservice and Ringo, and that's it.

This could have tremendous potential tbh. The concept is really interesting. But not executed correctly. A 4/10, not even an average show.

Well, that was alright. Really good production quality, especially the music choices, with nice art, though lacking animation. I felt like the team behind this did the best they could within a budget and dealing with pretty weak material. Premise was interesting and fresh as far as isekai goes, but the story was pretty uninspired. Too many events and plot points that were various combinations of predictable, boring, unbelievable and cliched.

But there were a few really good moments sandwiched in there. Enough to say I'd watch a second season for sure. Characters are actually interesting enough that I care what happens to (some) of them, and I could see myself enjoying it alot if the plot improved, especially with how well produced this season was.

Low: 4

Did this get a budget cut part way through? The early episodes sort of made sense, then there was a lot of time wasted with a hot springs scene, then the last episode was really rushed.

The intro shows an ending where all the major characters are standing in a park overlooking Tokyo Tower and a dragon flies over. As if there was a completely different ending planned.

Out of all the isekais this year, I feel like this on the level cheat magician, and half step below wisemans grandchild. It honestly became a chore to watch it half way through. Honestly the show was doomed when they did character is OP x7. Even more so when almost all are completely boring with Ringo and business dude being the exception.

Funny, I felt that Wiseman was a chore to finish it due the extra edge from the annoying villian, not to mention the poor animation that got in the final episodes. And with Isekai Cheat I didn't even bother after 5 episodes.

With the Prodigies have a hard time in another world, at least the animation quality was consistant and even avobe on some scenes and all the characters had their own charm. It knew how to mix lighthearted comedy with some grim storytelling.

I'll take Choyoyu any day of the week over other other low tier isekai shows.

Wiseman was a chore too, but at least it was the first one for 2019 where MC is OP, so it honestly didnt feel that bad. Cheat magician and this coming behind it in consecutive seasons did not help at all. Of the isekais i watched this year, i enjoyed the comedy ones a lot more than the serious ones (exception being shield hero).

And thus a nation is born. Well that sure was...something. Okay I'm gonna be blunt here: this show was stupid. It was outlandish, it was over the top, it was alot of other things, but above all it was stupid. Now if I'm having fun I can overlook certain types of stupid like a girl literally running while carrying a missile. Heck, I got a kick out of the ridiculously absurd idea that the genius doctor literally altered her enemies' brains to become willing slaves. That was hilarious. I'm less tolerant of an incredibly stupid backstory where a mother becomes jealous of and abandons her own creation/daughter. Not to mention multiple rape teases. I was ready to give this a 6, but really a 5 is being generous. Outside of the Ringo backstory nothing really infuriated me. At worst I just rolled my eyes or gawked in disbelief. Make no mistake though, this really wasn't a good show and I doubt I'd watch anymore if we got it. There were some big, beautiful tits at least on elf girl and doctor(no, this show doesn't deserve remembering character names) and I'd love some doujins involving them or something. Regardless, generous 5/10.
