Decent start to this but I didn't care much that the MC became fit and taller overnight, I thought it would've been better to see him lose weight overtime as he ate better and trained with his newly found weapons.

Anyways, I do like the art style and character designs. Production values seem good too. Btw, the girl that showed up at the very end, is that the same one that he indirectly rescued by getting beat up by those thugs? Definitely curious what role she will have as this series progresses.

Holy shit what absolute lazy writing and pandering to lowest of low selfinserts. Fatso had already own house, now he also has become chad after killing monsters that couldn't touch him.

I read both the manga and light novel, for me the first episode is just way too fast. I don't get the feeling that I got while reading the manga/light novel. There's so much description that skipped and it's kind of dissappointing.

After reading the Manga, I'm disappointed that they seem to have cut out the part where the teachers also treat him like excrement... I'm glad that they managed to make it to "Chad version being picked up by the girl fatso version saved" point quickly, but it seems like the censors might be toning down this Anime already, which would not be the best sign given that it may mean the Manga's plot developments (which can be pretty brutal/censor offending) might be toned down too.

I agree that this panders to the selfinserts, and so far it seems to be the "junk food from a knockoff brand" of anime, but sometimes that does serve a market

I went into this with zero expectations and just thought it was just going to be return of Truck-kun, be reborn as an OP character, and be full of pure fan-service etc. etc. but I thought the way they delivered this first episode was really good:  the way it established his background etc. and didn't go the traditional "death by Truck-kun and then reborn" route.....

Imo gave it a bit more uniqueness compared to the other Isekai manwhas/anime/manga I've read recently.

Has potential, Really interested to see how this goes...

The animation is beyond my expectation (I haven't watched the trailer)
but wow, I hope A-1 doesn't ruin Solo Leveling.
at first I thought MAPPA animated this, but it's not.
the sfx when the ogre (?) attacked him, I also thought ufotable did that lol.
The animation is great, but the story is kinda lame/clise/too fast for episode 1, the way when they explain about the system was ridiculous, he just beat 1 ogre and leveled up to level 100 wtf, even that ogre was high level monster, it acted like hilichurl when see traveler lol.
I'm looking forward for the next episodes

The first episode is similar to classic isekai but with a nice twist, it feels fresh to watch alternate worlds. Ower all a pretty nice entrance to the series.

The art was amazing, but I was pretty disappointed that the MC suddenly changed into some generic character design. His original design was cool and unique. The story was pretty awful though, the MC gets OP for nothing and in the most boring way possible. The Fruit of Evolution had a better and more unique version of pretty much the same first episode. I don't think I'll be giving it another episode since there are already multiple better isekais out this season + shows with great animation.

Why do people feel the need to bully larger people and then when their appearance changes, suddenly not recognize them and love them? Doesn't work that way. You can't be forgiven for being a bully; I'm looking at you you twins in the background.

Ep 2 was so terrifyingly accurate that it had to pause it halfway through just so I could compose myself and prepare for the rest of the episode it almost gave me a panic attack but it’s fantastic how close to life it is :)

Wow, really just like a "and everyone clapped" type story just everything everyone complains about isekais that it's just the main character has a difficult life but suddenly everything turns out perfect when he found a portal to another world.

I thought this was gonna be another trope shitshow, but it's actually got a pretty good foundation and main character. Also the art is really good, and you can actually easily tell characters apart because of the great artstyle.

I hope the later episodes dont use much or any CGI. I feel like that would be the one thing knowing this studio that could ruin the adaptation.

Yuuya's voice didn't really feel like it fit right with him being overweight. You don't hear the weight in his voice any. Sure there are heavy people with voices like that im sure but the VA could have put a little something extra into it to make it more convincing he's overweight and without going overboard on it.

I think I like the art style of this. Mainly the eyes.

Earlier part of the episode was more interesting than later. Yuuya finding that room was cool and all but him just getting leveled up for no reason just feels dull to watch.

idk if its because im half sleep right now but i thought this was really boring, the animation was also kinda bad specially on the scenes were the characters were supposed to walk or run away, it looks like they are standing still

but... first episode, maybe it gets better...

I hated how everyone hated Yuuya just cuz he's fat, even his own family. Only his grandpa's nice to him. His grandpa traveled all over the world and brought momento's, and one of them was a door to another world?? How fortunate. Sounds like a Narnia thing XD. Yuuya gained a lot of weapons, items, and a new look just from spending who know how long he's visited. Can't wait to see how this'll effect his life in the real world!

What an awesome first episode for an isekai! I love the backstory and personality they gave the MC, not enough stories do that. I also like how he transmigrated to another world, of course it isn't anything super special but it's new and different, at least for isekai anime. The first episode was immersive and I like how gradual the tone shifted. I also enjoyed the "insert character" MC where I could feel the awesomeness, but also the initial curiosity and terror of being in another world. He'll certainly be OP but they presented it in a satisfying way. I also like how the author of the story is the same for the fruit of evolution, I feel some similarities especially with the game-like nature of the world, even though that story is very different from this one.

Ok this anime is like your generic isekai but is like more
At the beggining you truly feel like the MC doesn't have a good time and the bullying is like so much hard than others animes where the student is the part time loser of the classroom
I like how everything is taking form (the MC is a f'cking camper literally farmed like 10000 xp in his house taking advantage of the invincible wall)

The only thing that i didn't like was the moment when everyone see him with his new body, I wanted a 'HAHAHA BITCH.S LOOKS WHO'S BACK' but no... it was more like 'h.. ey guy...s plz don't hurt me' 
Bruh you killed a demon in your backyard why are you scared of students?

Yuuya Tenjou... What an interesting specimen...

I felt so much pain on the inside watching Yuuya's struggles and knowing the only person who was kind to him was his grandfather. I'm glad his grandfather was smart enough to make sure there was no way for Yuuya's parents to take away his inheritance.

I wonder if he was simply born fat and could never lose the weight or if it's more of a psychological thing that happened.

Either way, his upbringing is reminiscent of Naruto since both were treated as outcasts by practically everyone around them. That woman that he stood up for didn't though, and I don't know how she was able to seek him out.

I wonder if he'll continue to explore the magical world. Interesting stuff so far and I can't guarantee that I'll watch the entire series, but at minimum I will watch the second episode!

A concept that has been used before, however, it seems this may be focused on how he uses his skills outside of the isekai world.

Yuuya's grandpa has changed Yuuya's life ever since Yuuya has discovered the other world.

Loved how this episode introduces me on how one went from living a life full of hell, to now living a life that's actually worth living.

All in all, I really love this introduction to the series and hope that it can bring more fun and exciting events that are worth watching.
