ZBlastHistory said: How can even someone say SAO are "Isekai" anime? its just a online game you don't need to die just for log to your game So With harem member are This actually sums it up pretty well |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| So...I feel like I have two different conflicting feelings over what I just saw. The first feeling is that after watching this episode, it was about as generic as every other LN adaptation that's been coming out for the past...2 years or so when it comes to a harem set up or some shit. The MC is going to wind up being some beta male who winds up with a harem without even trying. The comedy felt...really stupid to be honest and of course the tropes are just so tired out that it's shameful. On the other hand, my secondary feeling is that if I was bored and needed something light-hearted and mediocre to watch for entertainment, then I'd watch this. I mean it's not overly serious so there's no point in watching for a ridiculous plot or something. But the sad part about the whole thing is that if I wanted this setting, I'd much rather have another season of KonoSuba than deal with this. Overall, it's pretty much a drop or something to put on the backlog because week-by-week with this kind of show is basically a waste of time. I'd rather just marathon it at a later date when I'm bored. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Felt really cheap and boring. I'll give it one more episode to prove itself before I consider it trash-tier. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| i really like the cute cut-ins between scenes |
| OMG this is an anime that will make SAO look like a fuckin masterpiece! Not that SAO is THAT BAD, but still bad you know.......... Anyways think of the most bland MC you can think of, put him in a world very similiar to Konosuba, with a large cast of women to be part of his harem, OP as Kirito but not badass as Tatsuya. Yea that's pretty much sums up this anime, not 1 thing I can think of that was unique. If you count using a internet on a phone to find a ice cream recipe. Worst of the season from what I have seen. |

| Personally, I found it incredibly mediocre. The first half was downright atrocious: gave me little to no reason to care about this random, self-insert dude who died off screen, the whole "God gave me a second chance at life" thing which is such an overdone cliche at this point, and they just started throwing in "Waifus"™ out of nowhere while not giving them NEARLY enough personality traits beyond their generic behavior to warrant actually caring about them. And when you mess up the women in your harem anime, you're basically doomed from the start. That's not even going into how blatant of a Gary Stu the protagonist is: I mean, God even says "there's basically no way you can die!" which ruins all the dramatic stakes from the very beginning and throws subtlety straight out the window. At least other anime are either subtle about it, or use the MC's overpoweredness as a running gag. This just feels like "we know that the MC is completely unbeatable, and we don't care about it". On the other hand, the second half was... better. Not good, but better. The whole "I have future technology and food you've never heard of: let me show you!" thing was actually really endearing, and I hope that this show does more of that as it goes on. Especially seeing as how the first half basically all but ignored his phone: which is basically the only thing separating this anime from every other fantasy harem anime so far. But I'm getting my hopes up. Chances are, this will just end up being another generic harem show with an overpowered protagonist and a concept that reeks of missed potential. Or maybe TV TOKYO will prove me wrong and actually produce something solid. Who knows? |
 |
| Nothing really impressive, but I guess it was ok for what it was. Not going to expect anything great though. |
  |
| I have read a lot of "different world" novel (and they are my favorite kind of novel), I also read this one at one point and put it on hold. I am happy that it gets an anime, but I feel like it's lacking. The OP is meh. The action is also meh at this point and base off of the OP (hope it get better). The characters are meh so far as well (nothing of the characters stand out, but I am looking forward to seeing the girl with the katana). For this episode, I will give it a 3/5. |
 |
| I don't think people should judge the anime too soon, calling it garbage. Who knows, there still may be a 1% chance that it'll get better. The first episode was OK - that's all it was, just generic. |
| That's my first anime with smartphone as both main and most charismatic character, but it wasn't bad at all (except simple and cringy plot). |
| What a lucky guy, he gets to adventure with twins and eventually a bunch of other girls. He can use any magic and has great ability's that might make him near invincible. Not to mention all the benefits he can get due to the knowledge he has which the current world he is in doesn't have. I enjoyed this, very much looking forward to the next episode. |

| Episode one and the MC feels 10 times more OP than Kirito from Shit Art Online |
| I miss kazumakazuma kazuya dayo But holy hell, this is as bad as some fanfiction out there Ukkoclap said: Episode one and the MC feels 10 times more OP than Kirito from Shit Art Online Lmao, at least kirito gets nerfed in later parts, this is just, holy motehr of fuck |
| Looks like a mix between Konosuba and Danmachi, with a sprinkling of SAO OP'ness thrown in... Nice Oh boy, I can already see the hentai doujins of the sisters being written |
 |
| I get the hate, but it is one of the better offerings this season. |
| This is the reason why I choose the isekai like Re:zero. Well, it's rare to watch the isekai show with the overlord beta mc. Will continue to watch this. |
 |
| It's not that it's that bad per se, but it's definitely lazy |
| Enough with this fucking isekai please. |
Sorry for my bad English  Humans see what they want to see |
| I like all the critique this anime is getting. People finally realize how badly SAO was written, bad story bad characters, full of ass pulls just like this. |

lordzeru said: This is probably the worst of the current airing isekai shows. Complete lack of creative writing, and the MC just reeks of gary-stu, shallow nonsense. It will be hard to imagine myself watching beyond this first episode. Did they really do that bad of an adaption? The Novel was written so well the mc was not a gary-stu it was creative and was better then most isekai animes and light novels. Haven't watched it yet but after seeing the reviews either. Anime viewers are hopeless - i find this less likely or It was a horrible adaption - i believe this will be the case. |

Or maybe TV TOKYO will prove me wrong and actually produce something solid. Who knows? Ok i haven't watched it all watching it now but ill give this a go with the light novel in mind. Yes it's a cliche but cliches aren't bad it's a subjective thing whether you like it or not also they are just introducing the characters i can't say if the anime gave them less personality traits but they all started in the light novel like when you meet a normal person irl. You see nothing different with them and other people until you take a while to get to know them...that's EXACTLY what happens in the novel now i can only hope they apply this to the adaption. Haven't seen the anime fully but in the novel the character is far from a Gary Stu he is a held together kind man who is cheerful and goes out of his way to help others he has his interests and his dislikes. He is mostly motivated by helping others and discovery that in all makes him not a gary stu but gives him personality and a core now i must admit it's a slow start in the novel to develop him mostly because they focused on the world first which made up for it. He can die...God never says that he even says in the novel he will make it HARDER for him to die so he doesn't die just as he gets into his new life which makes 100% sense but he is not invincible people can still easily wipe the floor with him later on he is just above average in defence plus him being OP is kinda the point of the series. The second half is how it will start getting better and better as it goes on if it follows the novel correctly as it started off slow great but slow and sped up. It does more of that i can promise you that :) and it's not as harem'y as most anime's/lightnovels are so that's a plus. just keep watching if they don't continue to fuck up the adaption (they have a little from the 10 minutes i am in the middle of watching) it should come out as a great anime. |

It's meant to be a trope heavy novel / anime (that's a good thing imo) and is very different from Konosuba. I can't speak for the anime as what im seeing is a terrible adaption so far but the novel is far superior so i more or less thing anyone that wants to see this done right should just read the light novel. I'm kinda annoyed with the adaption so far but they haven';t skipped over the most important parts yet. The novel starts slow to be fair i would argue since the pacing of the anime seems alot slower it just feels dragged out and boring then at some parts the pacing sky rockets foward so it's like wtf? i'm gonna keep watching on. But you probably misunderstood what i was saying i went to watching it right before that comment i paused to do some stuff but more or less i'm recommending the novel if anyone is truly interested in this series. But i have high hopes they can still turn it around but by the pacing is atrocious. For reference the start of the episode (5 minutes in) takes 3 minutes to get to at an average reading pace the end of the episode takes 3-4 hours to get to at an average reading pace. Faster would suit an anime better yes but it's like....how fast do you need to go? god damn. |
RyuRabbitJul 11, 2017 7:29 PM
| Not a bad first episode and I enjoy it |
 |
| Very bland. Although it wasn't too bad after the half way point. |
| It is ok. Considering how rush this ep feels, I'm rather surprise they rather waste the time to put in some segues instead |

Yeah i watched it and they left out so much of the character development even the one inside the sword shop when he gets his Katana (They go over Eashen and everything adding detail). They have rushed it alot it took me a few hours to get to the icecream part at the novel when reading fast so that says alot. Very dissapointed with it so far it gets across the majority of it but removes what gives it character. |
| This turned out a lot better than I'd expected. When I heard an anime was being made where the premise had something to do with taking a smartphone to another world, I was very cautious on how it may turn out. I went in expecting it to be awful, but I found it to be quite enjoyable. Dying and going to another world seems to be a popular idea right now, and it's being run into the ground, but this is a minor difference and spruce of uniqueness that could turn out to be this show's anchored strong point, possibly enough to keep it relevant and afloat. Only time will tell whether this'll turn out to be as strong a series as something like KonoSuba. 5/5 |
| this was the show I was most excited about this season it's great I like it so far I'm excited for the other girls to show up, only 2 introduced this ep |
| Character designs are rather boring, shame since one of the only appeals of this show was the vast amount of girls. What the heck is the long haired twin wearing? Shorts that look like a skirt? Who created this monstrosity? And figured she'd be the flat chested of the twins. Holy fuck these transition scenes are awful and annoying. |
| Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and it's certainly not the worst first episode I've seen this season The best part about this was the twins for me because I found them to be pretty fun but other than that, there wasn't anything special about this and the MC is pretty much the a Gary Stu lead which is typical in this genre to begin with One thing I will say is that I like that he's not really like standard MC's in this genre personality wise but as of right now, he's kinda bland and that could be a bad thing in the long run |
| Amazing episode. I can't wait to see the other girls |
| When watching the anime, I realize they skip out many small information parts (except the one where he needed a weapon and talked about Eashen (or Ishen) and the equipment). Tbh I really felt they rush a bit too much here which is underwhelming. I'm thinking you are suppose to read the novel first then the anime afterwards cuz the anime is more of the visuals. The info is rather short if you ask me so reading it recommended. I will still continue watching cuz I feel it will get better later on. |
 |
| Yikes. This was bad. The MC is overall a nice guy, but he's yet another OP MC stuck in another world; and that's a dime a dozen nowadays. This will unfortunately be another overly popular and bland Isekai show. As people tend to eat these up. |
| here's to hoping if elze uses boost alot she equips dragon armor |
| The episode doesn't give me much hope of the potential of this show, however the people here seem way too harsh. Chill out guys, it's been 1 episode and it's mostly set-up. Also neither the main character nor the girls have done anything yet, it is 1 episode after all. Generic seems a little harsh, just because they don't have some dark edgy backstory doesn't immediately make them a boring/generic character. Give them time, geez That however is not to say I've got no issues with it, it bothers me seeing how much power god gas given the main character and that the show is a harem. It doesn't have an action tag, so there still some hope in me that the show will revolve solely around exploring the possibilities of the mobile phone in the alternate universe (rather than how OP the main character is). |
