| "Most disappointing show of the season". Be real, nobody was expecting anything from this show except people with shitty taste who even bothered to read the manga and the light novel in the first place. Slimeshit, shield shit, wise grandson shit and now this... utter shit. Wew. 0/5 |

| I like the concept, but I feel as though this was the direct result of poor directing. It went lightning quick and we don't really know anything about the world. And where did he get the blueprints for a gun? Is he some genius? Because the show never established that. Again, I like the concept, but they flubbed this debut. |
| Typical case of the studio assuming the viewers have a single episode attention span so they feel compelled to rush through everything in the first episode. They should have stretched it out and ended the episode at his transformation. Fill the anime with pauses of him actually thinking between his monologues. Add scenes of him looking around and show us the place to build atmosphere. It's not hard to make this anime good. |

| Wow, this is even worse than I thought it would be. |

Why so generous? |
| Well that was an interesting first episode. And by interesting I mean bad: so many small yet important details were cut off. How is the viewer supposed to know just how weak Hajime was at the start? Or how insufferable Kouki was, or what a douchebag Hiyama is? Reaching Rewrite-levels of confusion on episode 1 is real bad, but hopefully there's nowhere to go but up from now on. Looking forward to next week. |
| Directing level of Tokyo Ghoul, bad animation and edgy main character, what can go wrong with this series? I would lie If I would say that I was expecting much from isekai genre but still I'm dissapointed. |
Digimon is the best Isekai  |
| This was the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time. In other words, the protagonist was a useless first-timer at first and after saving himself from being miraculously and conveniently killed from that monster, he becomes a totally different person because of eating the flesh of another monster. Everything from his personality, which at first was very shy, weak and introverted to having a personality worthy of a bloodthirsty killer. Another stupid thing was the increase in skills. If it were so easy, I think that someone else would have discovered it, wouldn't it? This protagonist seems to me a mixture of Kaneki Ken and Kirito, garbage. I don't know what's in store for us in the next chapters but my first impression is that it's going to be one more isekai rpg in the stack, I don't have many expectations. The only thing that stood out and I liked was the soundtrack, which I thought was very good and accurate. |

| Well, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, I think we've found our contender for the most entertainingly bad show of the year. I honestly can't even hate it; it's so goofy and ambitious despite having no idea what it's doing that it wraps right back around to being charming. This is exactly my kind of dumb trash, and I suspect I'm going to enjoy every Horrid CG second of it. |

| White Fox has some Top-Notch series of the caliber of Steins;Gate, Re;Zero, a terrible adaptation of Akame ga Kill, though it was good until they invented a horrible final, a masterpiece like Katanagatari, and more recently, the polemic yet highly enjoyable Goblin Slayer, among others. So I thougth that this pretty average, simple, yet greatly entertaning Isekai would have a decent adaptation. But if you see the works of the other studio, Asread, or something, they have literally just shit. C'mon, Mirai Nikki is their strong card. So I think White Fox just lend them the chairs and the desks, because they LITERALlY BUTCHERED THIS ADAPTATION!!! At least the introduction. And is funny. Most Isekai throw you along with the MC to the fantasy world, an that's all, let the adventure beggins. But here, it was important to see how pathehic and misfortuned was Hajime, to appreciate his drastic change down in the bottom of the Abyss. Yeah, then Yue comes in, and then Shia, and everything is sunshine, and things change, and this become pretty generic. So, if they don't explain in detail the only good part of the story, the part that gives sense to everything else, this adaptation doesn't have a reason to exist. They could have rushed everything else, but no this. This is the intellectual/artistic equivalent of terrorism. Too bad I'm far from Japan, because I would put a bomb in their building, they deserve it. |
| Shit production for what is shit source material. Sounds fair enough to me. |

Ventus_S said: It is isekai through and through... I don't get how you can't see it's an isekai. A bunch of high school students from Japan transfer to another world, how's it not isekai? I missed that bit, where did it show them transporting from Japan? Did they just decide not to bother with that bit |
| Man. This was sooo bad. I've been looking forward to this since I've read the manga and thought this could have potential to be one of the best shows this season if done right. Well turns out they are rather trying to ruin it as much as they possibly can. Literally everything about this episode was garbage. The adaptation, the pacing, the directing, the animation, even the opening looked like trash. It was so frustrating to see the entire character introduction and the MC's development being skipped. Then they just tried to squeeze the entire prologue into flashbacks, which was incredibly bad executed. It wasn't even explained that this was an Isekai. Feel bad for the Anime of onlies who are just thrown into the middle of the plot without receiving any explanation. Now this will just go down as the trash of the season and eventually be forgotten. Yikes. Well done for making this one of the worst adaptations I've ever witnessed |

Too bad I'm far from Japan, because I would put a bomb in their building, they deserve it. Ya, they could easily have made this a 48 min episode and that would have been enough to flesh things out a lot better. But I would think the anime will get better later on when they get down to the real story. They want to reach the part when Kaori is reunited with Hajime, and is far away for a 13 episodes adaptation. But they could literally cut some fights here, some conversations there, and give this introduction at least a solid 20 minute, though this mini arc in the bottom of the Abyss, before he met Yue should have been at least 2 episodes long. They ruined everything. I will come back to watch it after it's finished to see if they mess it up even more, but this is already a trainwreck , and not a funny one. They literally won the Guiness' World Record of ruining an adaptation in the shortest amount of time, 10 seconds. |
| So im not into any isekais anime (im a romcom kinda guy) im just trying this anime out and also isekai cheat magician for 3 eps to see if its not generic and enjoyable Soo the 1st ep was very underwhelming So he gained power by eating monsters, the way they demonstrate it im like wtf also he got courage to fight couz hes hungry okay bud xD So im still gonna watch it till ep 3 if theres no improvement or still find it unenjoyable imma drop it |

| Good things: nothing. Bad things: Why is everything so dark? I can't even see shit. ALso the MC's VA sucks. |
| pacing is pretty bad but it's isekai with cute girls I'll watch it lol |
 |
| Well, that's some score. I don't usually pay attention to scores as much cuz people would score high bad shit, and low good shit, but I might on this one. I really was surprised to see this anime was gonna air this season, cuz I knew of the LN, mostly because Takayaki was the artist of it, and got instantly hyped. Takayaki's designs + Isekai + reputable studio? Hell yeah. Too bad it didn't quite turn out decent enough though. Shame, I really wanted to pick this anime out. I guess I'll wait to see a bit more down the line to see if people's perception change somewhat if it gets better. |
| I...honestly don't even feel impressed enough to check the original source. I really need to just avoid the isekai genre altogether unless someone like Gigguk sings its praises. Abort mission time. Only checked it out since I've seen the title dropped so much and White Fox was on the label. |
| Don't believe the hype. |

| As a person who doesn't read the light novel i agree this first episode is a bit confusing, at first i thought it's just some fantasy anime but then i realize i read somewhere that this is an isekai anime since they really messed up the introduction, there is no proper explanation why he is in that world in first place, even i know that information by reading the synopsis of the anime, and the way he gets his power just shook my head. The pacing is a mess and i feel they have no inspiration to do it for at least to make it leap out from mediocre level, at least from this episode only. Well nonetheless i still find it quite enjoyable for a "presumably" trash anime and will watch the rest i guess. |

| Was hoping that I would enjoy this episode but a couple things just felt off while I was watching it. It's starts with when Nagumo gets his arm cut off by the monster, the way he reacted in that situation felt weird. I'm not the biggest fan of the way the events were ordered in the episode and the pacing but since I'm an anime-only, I don't really have a proper point of reference for those things, just a gut feeling. Nagumo says during the episode that his classmates betrayed him but we don't really get to see how or why he was betrayed so his subsequent anger feels a little cheap and over-exaggerated. Hopefully the next couple episodes help alleviate some of my concerns. |

| :The manga / LN is better." TRY ECHOING THAT 1000 TIMES. The pilot episode just lost all conscience: Story, Characters, Art/Animation, Sound. All at an abysmal LOW. And you don't need IQ/EQ to understand how BAD everything was. Sooooo what's the delay for? At first, White Fox was supposed to air this last year, but complications handed the job over to Asread, and like their abominable fantasy show "Lord of Vermilion", add this one into the list too. I already knew that with a great source to work on, it could have been great, but instead, it suffered tremendously. Hi all! Let's welcome Arifureta as the worst show of the season! SOTS (Stinker of the Season) |
