Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill. Ridiculed and bullied by his classmates for being weak, he soon finds himself in despair. Will he be able to survive in this dangerous world of monsters and demons with only a glorified blacksmith's level of strength? (Source: J-Novel Club)

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou on MAL

Jesus the synopsis is all i can handle.


Isekai - check
MC useless - check

Looks kinda meh.. from it's original source material

I'll rather read this (Maybe not)

>Into PTR you go and never bother it

Doesn't look too promising, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.

Be careful not to be cut by the edge. It's really sharp.

Seriously though as far as I read it's enjoyable aside for the treatment that Shia get. I cannot careless of Tio though.

These announcement threads are always the same:

People shit on it based on a one paragraph synopsis and a picture.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!, spring season is saved.

Hoping for 24-25 episodes since it is White Fox and the LN is very popular.

Saw this coming from miles away. They've been teasing this ever since the site went live.

They need to make this 2 cour at least or it will be super rushed.

Oh Whitefox, I have so many conflicting feelings for you, at least don't fuck it up as much as Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho.

EDIT: Scratch that, I just checked the reviews for the Novel and they're not good.....*sigh*

So uhh ..isekai except the whole cast is transported over instead of just the MC?

No it's isekai with Tatsuya level MC but with more edge.

Reminds me of Black Bullet.

Oh so its that kind of MC, damn.

Also with more edge you say ? can't imagine that.

>White Fox

Well here we fucking go.

As @NeoAnkara said, it's the complete opposite from what you say. It's a super edgy OP MC.



But the director worries me. It's the director of the first season of Kingdom! You know, the guy who let the series that adapts one of the greatest masterpiece among manga be turned into almost entirely CGI and it even skipped an entire arc...

HOLY SHITTTT!!!!!!!

The savior of anime is finally here!!!!!! (Warning) Get ready for some next level edginess and some harem.

Similar to shield hero?

Now you got me, Jesus.

Never was able understand what people can see in those Mr. bombastic MCs, guess it's Nippon thing.

Hope he has "Slip" skill though.

great, the worst novel i've read gets an anime D:

Well

Knew this would get an anime sooner or later.

Yeah this is like Guilty Crown and Re:Zero Combined, gonna fucking watch it for the reaction of viewers, it's shit but fucking lit.

There it is, White Fox doing it again, hahahahaha, There should be a good scene for the sex scene

Edgy MC's are hit, damn I want Sawano to compose the OST, it's gonna be epic even if the story is Shit, Damn I want to read it Again, this shit is truly enjoyable for reading while listening to Sawano's Music

Fuck this shit, this got an anime while Sevens still doesn't have manga adaptation.

Just a little look at the edginess from the manga version. It's before he gets his edgy white hair though.

Yezzz finally they will make a anime adaption

Kinda, but more mature and edgy, doesn't hold back in many ways

I might be interested after all, for the edge of course.

Wow killing a puppy. As edgy as my disappointment.

It is disappointing if you're looking for full blown edgy Character

is the novel good? is it well written? i can handle all these isekai cliches if the writing is good.

it's horrible. the MC is not mature or well written. this is just a power and harem fantasy of the author

Kek, my expectations plummets to the negatives.

Fuck no, it's an example of badly written story full of disappointment, it's inconsistent and filled with problematic story telling, It's a good novel to past time while listening to some edgy music, but not recommended to be read for critical purposes.

Well, yea, the "edginess" early on turns into simple indifference later on.



I still think it's thousand times better than "Smartphone" though.

If sawano makes the music, it's gonna be lit, I bet Edgy Character doing edgy slaughter with edgy background would make it perfect, I've read it on Sawano's Music and I felt comfortable reading it even with problematic plot

oh damn i'm definitely passing on this. i'm not going to waste my time on another power fantasy series. these shows aren't my cup of tea tbh.

Kaijura might work as well... but probably only for the first arc.

Smartphone is more like Kenja no Mago (also got anime) but with more simplistic story.

Yuki Kajiura
Oh yeah, she's definitely gonna be good

Not at all. Smartphone focuses a lot on the harem aspect, unfortunately by relying almost entirely on cliché (some characters that weren't so bad early on suddenly became personificated archtypes later). Magi's Grandson however doesn't even have a harem as far as I have been reading and character interactions feel much better written there as well. The characters actually seem like individual people with their own lives.

In that regard Arifureta isn't even that bad. No matter what kind of archtypes the girls may follow, it still feels fresh because the MC is different - i.e. NOT a "doutei" protagonist.

I liked Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho tho. What was the wrong with it?

I'm talking about the no commonsense part that both MC shared. It just that the side character in Kenja no Mago is quick to give tsukomi around to slightly upset what MC is doing instead of just simply shrug it off like in Smartphone.

I second to Grey-Zone
The MC is not a Virgin!!!!
That's thousand times better than most harem you'll ever encounter.... LOL

Honestly these adaptation is getting worst, the Good Web Novel like Even a Cicada Becomes a Dragon if Reborn doesn't even have a Light Novel Adaption, that story is far better than most adapted Modern Light Novel, it has good poetry and character development

Holy shit that is so accurate and self aware, I love it.

That aside, I cannot believe it actually got an adaption! But at the same time I saw this coming. Its one of those that just screams got an anime adaption.

Well, the standard isn't set very high with doutei protagonists, so...

Anyway, not every novel is good for adaption though. Just like Sevens which I am reading right now (currently at vol. 9 / chapter 141). Unless it becomes a long-running series (i.e. much more than just 30 episodes) I just can't see it working well as an anime. And recently most anime even only get the 1-cour treatment, i.e. 13 episodes max. That's also why I think Mushoku Tensei wouldn't work well either.

A Kuro no Maou anime though... that might work... if it's adapted as a tragedy of sorts with a "hope lives on" feel with only few survivors after that battle at the river.

The one that I want to see the most.

We still have a lot awesome studios beside white fox.

As I already mentioned, I absolutely don't like the fact that the director is the one who did Kingdom S1...
