THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Finally, it's over but man, this show was one of the most predictable ones I've seen this year. Not to mention, we got a powered up Taichi taking up an enemy that looks like a demon in the finale.

Meh. I'm glad it's over. One of the weakest series I've finished. It's pretty fucking bad and felt like an advertisment of the LN.

I'm going with 7/10. Solid last episode. There were anime witht a last episode that was a lot better - but were the previous episodes were not as good. Other anime had worse last episodes. Can't say anything against your usual typical last episode that ends the battle and clears up most stuff - whille still leaving other stuff open ended. That's your usual setup.

Show was entertaining most of the time and I liked how it teasered bigger background plot from the beginning and got beter continously. Not too bad - the writing.

Yeah animation and stuff might be subpar - but I care less about these.

Compared to great fantasy like GATE Densetsu Yuusha and Alderamin it is a lot worse. But can easily compete with generica game story anime (Granblue) or "for the fap only" anime like DanMachi (plot on same niveau but more fap material - with it come more annoying moments ... more harem-like stuff more boobs).

The service - besides Aery being a bit annoying (cute little and the annoying voice) - was really tuned down and the main acted pretty normal towards most girls.

Nobunaga anime and Genome were worse - out of the other 7/10s I watched this season. Astra same level. Besides that I only watched 3 other anime which were much better (Cop Craft, Vinland Sage and Carole and Tuesday).

I absolutely love Isekai but I just couldn't fucking stomach this one.

The entire season the choices the characters made were just ?????? and how forgiving they were about everything pissed me off too.
They weren't acting ANYTHING like they would have in a situation like this. They're basically acting like they were "Heroes" born into this world.

The plot went by so quickly, and they barely had to struggle to get people to see everything their way.

Honestly the saving grace to that whole fight thing was he finally fucking killed someone.

But that ending scene though... They've only spent like a month and a half in this world and they're acting totally fine with the priestess never being able to send them home...
"I quite like my life here :) teehee (: We have precious friends here :) teehee"

In the majority of Isekai I've read/watched the characters at least show they're fucking upset in some way.
If they got hit by Truck-sama they're like "I hope my family is okay" at least.

I don't know how the manga or LN is but I'm sure it conveyed a lot of details far better than this anime.

Isekai Boring Magician is finally over. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either : started up ok-ish, became really pointless to watch & gave me a sleepy mood in the middle, ended up being ok to watch.

What I didn't like : the main characters were too bright, too gentle & too kind. Placing myself in their situation, I'd be extremely pissed off to have been literaly kidnapped from my world to save another one I had no clue it existed. But no, Taichi & Rin genuinely smiled at the girl who's responsible of their kidnapping...

Then the fights themselves were not epic or at least, did not make me feel like the abilities were "cheats" (very ironic for an anime named "Isekai CHEAT magician"). Even the most powerful abilities looked like a mosquito's attack on screen, despite everyone being "ooooooohh" in the background with an impressed face on.

Also villains were quite ridiculous (not sure they were really antagonists actually) like Cassim & her friend, or even the 2 loli twins who invoked goblins.

Lastly, Taichi did not accept Sumella's proposal, which is a real shame.

Things I managed to appreciate : not many to be honest. Some characters were decent or even enjoyable to discover but I would not end up loving them either.
The story is basic but can't expect more from an isekai since they all start alike (what makes a huge difference are the characters at first and then the internal development).

At the end, I can't give more than 5/10 (or maybe 5.5/10). But strangely, I wouldn't mind seeing more of this show eh.

It's finally over oml
If this was 'just' advertisement for the LN I definitely don't wanna read it. Ever.

It's just so bad
In the end there were still many unanswered questions. Maybe some of my questions were actually answered but ai just dozed off when they were.

Taichi just grows stronger and stronger with no limits. Ofc Aerial->Sylphid had to be a Great Spirit. She had to have a 'normal body size' body too orcourse because otherwise she wouldn't be good harem material

Speaking of harem- Taichi's harem just grows and grows with no limits too

And if Taichi ever gets in trouble again he will most likely just summon some other Great Spirit and everythings cheating again and again.

Idk it just has so many faults even if you don't compare it with other isekai and try to view it as it's respective show.. I wonder if 4/10 is generous

Okay, why was there such a big, tearful, and purportedly meaningful moment when Aery revealed her “true form”... only to have her look, sound, and act EXACTLY THE SAME?!?! 😐
She coulda just been like, “oh BTW, my name is actually Sylphie, and im more powerful than you thought” 😑

A really bland title. In all honesty i dont think i have ever come close to watching any other isekai as it is so generic that is boring as hell.

The real problem is that even when a show is bad there is at least something about it you can make a conservation about like Arifuertas cgi and bad pacing or maou-sama's retry animation(I even gave maou an 8/10 of 10 cause at least the comedy and characters were funny and interactive) so im not that picky with titles but this is at that point where it is neither good or bad but at the same time it makes it so boring that your felt with absolute nothing.

I gave it a 5/10 as true average scale, i guess story wise it was ok and it could serve as a good title for anyone who is not familiar with isekai or anime in general but for most people i dont think they would get anything out of it. I doubt it will get a sequel or il ever watch it again.

eh, I didn't find it that bad tbh. Wasn't as frustrating to watch as other isekai like Shield Hero or Master of Ragnarok, and characters weren't entirely that bad. Plus it's one of the few isekai's that actually involves characters dying rather than magically living through everything

too much cheating/10

This show is finally over. Taichi easily handled that guy that turned into a demon.

If Taichi is an elemental summoner, surely he should also gain the power to summon Ifrit, Shiva and many other elemental gods.

but i have to admit, for me this anime probably has the best character design of the season, specially Myura looks gorgeous
i would probably rate it a 5/6 but like i said the design has to get a bonus so i'll give it a 7 =D

also, i wonder if this is a typical "read the source" ending, or if we will get any more seasons of this in the future, as i would most likely watch another season of this

forgot to mention, but i love the ED song too, just as good as Takagi's Op, Rie's voice just sounds so nice <3

This Rin's face taken out of context is quite funny.

Those berserkers are more respectful than one would expect, they literally stood still watching the romantic scene between Taichi and Rin lol

What! After everything that's happened you're telling me they just left the guy responsible for all this... there? lmao

Aery made such a fuss that I thought there was going to be a big revelation... but no, all that fuss and we ended up with the same Aery xD

Anyway, I don't care if a show is cliché, I didn't care that this show was cliché, I even defended it at the beginning but then it became so dumbly cliché that I couldn't defend it anymore.

Taichi was so uninteresting, well, I don't really think there was any interesting character. Maybe Ana, but we already know what happened to her. Heck, I wasn't even interested in the romance. I honestly would have preferred to get rid of Taichi and instead follow Rin's gay adventures.

Even Myth & Roid's OP was meh.

Goodbye ICM, one thing I can at least say for sure is that I liked the girls designs.

I see Aery has become Sylphid now, wooow! Also Taichi and Inimicus had the worst last battle I've ever seen in my entire life, on top of that he spouted some nonsense about getting stronger for his nakamas and next he said he wanted to get stronger for himself ( which is it exactly?). The bastard killed the villain because he dared him, the hell:-D :-D :-D :-D. I see the other suppose " villain" got killed, that king is heartless, especially since he killed his own brother and nobody tried to stop his ass, especially Taichi. Most of all they never even went home, and were really content with the situation. What about the female villain though, is she going to get away with it? That cheat Taichi did, was that it:-D :-D ?

"Kono Kuso Yarou", are the only words to describe this anime! If it was tangible I wouldn't wipe my behind with this, as it is almighty shit itself. Everything it did was like a sewerage drain opening up, so laughable and mediocre. Even as an op anime, it was a can of smelly underwear, it needed lots of washing and airing. Taichi was boring as a protagonist, he made these potato chips I'm munching taste like cupboard. The only cheat I experienced, was my time being wasted and my potato chips! Fuck!l

It was hella bad, but I did not hate it that much. Maou retry sama was my worst and I hated that shit. I will be lenient, since it has the word " isekai" around it. But the fact remains technically, it was one of the worst anime this season and tops as one of the worst isekai ever! I'm going to by lenient and give a bias:

Isseki can be many things but it should never be boring.

This was boring with terrible charcters, an awful story and crap animation.

One of the worst isseki ever made along with Master of Ragnarok. This LN should never have been given an anime. It had not an ounce of originality.

HAH, zombie apocalypse for a finale apology of such a tremendously lame and boring series. The CG can be rivaled with Overlord S2 and S3.

Yikes, so much for "testing your opponents". The only deciding factor has been Taichi alone, let alone Rin.

I personally laughed at this, seems like this is the end-cards for me ROFL

In the end, we have the OP foreshadowed for all the world to see, it was predictable as hell. The "last" demon vs. the OP Taichi and Slyphie as the finale battle huh.

I have a serious bias for Isekai. I fall asleep thinking about myself in some fantasy world or other almost every night. Sometimes what I think about is influenced by the anime I watched that evening. I've given crappy Isekais a pass because there was at least something I could take away from it that I could populate my little mental Isekai world with.

This is the first one that has given me absolutely nothing. There was nothing about this series that I was envious off. There was nothing unique. Everything done has been done better somewhere else.

The art was subpar, lifeless, and generic. The sound was absolutely forgettable - hell, even the OP was fake with the serious auto-tuning. The characters were shallow. The voice acting was subpar. The only credit to this series was the story, and only in that it had a plot. The plot isn't very good or creative, but the story always pointed towards a singular end point.

I would say I am glad this is over, but I always forget it exists come Thursday morning.

This was an end and an anime that will pass without grief or glory for many, including me 😅, did not contribute anything significant to the Isekai genre, but at least it served to kill time. I'm not asking for it, but it seems that it is for a second season.

WTF? Leaving aside the fact that Aerial is the fairy queen, she just got bigger and now her name is Sylpheel, oh yes, what a great change xD.

This and smartphone were the most boring isekai for me just full of cliche plot points. This anime feels like it was written by a middle schooler with all the boring power ups. Instead of keeping the weakness of the main character with magic and allow the character to grow the author used deus ex machina to eliminate that weakness. They did the same thing in the finale here as well. Smartphone and Cheat were the most boring, but Master of Ragnarock/Valkyria still takes the cake for being the worst isekai for me.

battle: BOO!!! those armies being sent there are non sense.... and the inimicus vs taichi is just pure talk and few seconds of battle

I'm not on the Isekai hate train, because there are good Isekais and the genre can be interesting and a fun experience if done right, this was not the case with this anime.

Again, Taichi has a 3-minute long speech about how he's gonna sacrifice himself only for it to go into the trash can as Aery is now Sylphid, one of the 4 great spirits. Well, at least he's self-aware over his cheat.

The 2 good things about this anime were the soundtrack and the VA's. While the OSTs weren't amazing, they were often a lot better and epic than the anime itself.

It was pretty decent and enjoyable. It was a can of generic with a little bit of seasoning on top, but that's fine.

People are WAYYYYY too hard on this anime my god. It's worth like a 6 or maybe a 7 if generous... but 5 and under? Yikes. Smells more like people dumping their preconceptions and expectations onto it instead of trying to watch a show as it's own thing.

Imagine if this was the only isekai anime ever. If that were the case it wouldn't be so bad. Not great, but not bad.

I do like my isekai tbh, but this... was abysmal, in every fucking level i can think of.

Legit one of the worst shows i've ever come across. It's a 1/10 ez. For unoriginality, i'd give it a 20/10. See? There is a good score among all of this, cool.
