My goodness, it's been a while since I've read the manga but after watching this and seeing it again, I can say I completely dislike the magician kid. The way the author wrote the him doing his tricks has to be one of the dumbest things ever. I don't care if he's the best magician in the world, the magic tricks he's made to do are just beyond complete bullshit with no resemblance to any actual magic tricks to the point fantasy magic would have made more sense. Just reminds me of some of the dumber shit he does in later episodes.

The mouth to mouth scene was as cringey as I remembered.

Seven high school students, all geniuses in their own way, mysteriously end up in "another world". Despite the title the series is actually fairly serious - well at least compared to the other 異世界 that have aired so far this season. They are trapped in a place where they have massive amounts of knowledge that the inhabitants do not have and in that sense it's kind of giving me Dr. Stone vibes. They are trying to figure out how and why they ended up in this world, but I imagine a lot of this anime is just going to be about overcoming obstacles within this world and less about actually attempting to return home (where's the fun in that?). Too early to judge how good this will be, it could easily go either way.

I mean she "just" made smartphones into walkie-talkies. There are apps that can do something similar.

Then I only use one app. There was no need to shows how intelligent and superior they are compared to others. Just that point causes people to get irritated and spoil the experience, the great arrogance and pedantry of these characters.

Isn't it amazing that 7 prodigies that are all the best in the whole world at what they do all happen to be Japanese? Incredible.

But seriously though, the premise of this show is absolutely retarded. I usually just laugh off the idiocy of isekai anime and enjoy the shenanigans, but this seems incredibly dull and uninteresting. Not only is the premise already requiring us to withhold a TON of disbelief, but the characters themselves are unrealistic. They just all so happen to be happy-go-lucky people who get along swimmingly and just let that one guy take charge? This is just going to be another overpowered MC(s) show where nothing bad ever happens, they are always happy, and we are just supposed to enjoy how overpowered they are.

God this is getting ridiculous. At least we have a lot of great shows to look forward to in the coming weeks.

Not sure if I should spoil it or not but literally everything every prediction you made about the show in this post is wrong except for the unrealistic part but it’s anime what you going to do, not saying its secretly a masterpiece of a series but it gets way better after the first couple of chapters. And I don’t know if the anime has pointed it out or just left that detail out but the seven main characters are childhood friends so that’s why they get along well

I think that the main problem of this kind of story: Is the inability to relate to it. If i remember correctly the reason why usual isekai MC is so normal, is so it connects to a regular viewer(LN reader).

I really don't know who this anime will relate to. Especially when it's hard to believe a high schooler can be the top politic in Japan. And a magician who is supposedly takes off his head and makes it levitate.

The art and animation is outstanding though.

Hmm...I am sort of divided with this series at least from what i have seen from the first episode.

Well the positives i can say about it are is that the animation is pretty solid, the ost is ok, some of the characthers have a little charm particular the main mc i forgot the name but its the politician.

However there are factors that are a turn off.

One all seven are prodigies from japan? so your saying the rest of the world is stupid and cant produce there own? That will sit not well for international audiences which some of the comments i read is already taking shape.

Second there specialities is tremendously ridiculous even by prodigy standard.

Third if this series was not trying to take itself seriously it would of been fine but when a series has all of this and it does that is when we have a problem. It would seem to cringe worthy

Also we already got several inconsistent plot holes, I am no genius but how can cellphones operate without cell towers or satellite or carry a mini nuclear reactor without contamination and the likes What about a pilot if they were all at the back of the plane than who the hell was flying it? even with auto pilot there has to be somene at the controls full time, and dont try to come with a bs it was new autopiloted self flying plane as that is lazing wriitng.

, also where is the explanation for the magic tricks from the magician? some of it was way to elaborate to set up in a short time and no resources. Dr.Stone's while some would call is also an exaggeration of all this technology be used in a primitive area at least has the principle foundation of each new invention to fall back on for explanation but this ehh...

Also what was the point of that mouth to mouth feeding? was it really necessary? could of she just gave him some more watery food or crushed the pieces and mixed them and than sppon fed? there was no point for that besides needless fanservice.

Lastly the writers made these people so unrelatable with general audiences that people are going to feel alienated and cant connect with anybody and without that factor people will find it less entertaining.

I am giving it a 6/10 a fine rating but it needs a lot of issues to fix otherwise this will not be a good story to tell.

Actually, this doesn't seem to be like a bad isekai. They start was good and seems to have an interesting storyline. I'd say give it at least 2-3 more episodes to see if it's worth it. I like the main character, he seems cool.

Very disappointing. The concept of seven experts/geniuses improving a fantasy world is a great one.

And then they just give them OP magic powers. If we'd just seen a hidden wire or harness from Magic Shota's flying trick I could have got on board, but no.

Bonus points for the original intro, crashing an airplane into a fantasy world was certainly an unique sight.

Character-wise the main cast reminds me a lot of Mondaiji-tachi with its highly skilled unique youths helping out their new home in another world. Remains to be seen where it goes from here, certainly promising so far.

7 Highschoolers are the best in the world at what they do, including a Politician. They are all from Japan. All 7 get on a plane going somewhere that doesn't even get mentioned (with no protection). The Plane Crashes. All 7 Students from Japan survive who just so happen to be the best in the world at what they do.Time skip. Its been 1 month and they've fully recovered, and all 7 are wearing the same clothes they crashed with. And they just so happen to learn a story about 7 Foreign Heros who Defeat a Dragon. One day they notice trouble is stirring up by some local soldiers. None of the soldiers notice 2 students that are right in front of them, walk up behind them. The 2 students then "Sneak attack" the group. (You dont see the attack, just the soldiers falling) The soldiers retreat but a Student uses Parlor trick magic as a way to scare them into not reporting the incident. Dropped.

If anything, it managed to wildly divide the people who watched it - and that's a whole lot more interesting to watch than the episode itself was. Approximately the same amount of ppl giving each of the scores, no big extreme anywhere. The posts here also range from "omg this is awesome" to "omg this is pure garbage". Quite interesting indeed.

I actually enjoy the fact that all 7 characters actually get along with one another rather then having misgivings with each other.

The characters so far are okay, but the art and animation are the stand out stars so far in this anime.

Prince Akatsuki was pretty funny.

I'll stick with it for now.

Good first episode!

We were introduced to seven character, and each one is overpower in her own field, i got interested by that in the sinopse and it was really fine for me, i liked them all in their ways!

Didn't expect, totally, that kiss at start, 0 predict about that!

The scene against soldiers was funny!

Curious to see more about this and what they will do with their talents!

It is the fourth isekai of the season, and I really liked the start. Seven prodigies of the earth that end up in another world, at first I thought it would be a story with generic animation, but it was not like that, the animation is good, I feel that I could be surprised at later episodes. The protagonists already have skills that have been improving over time, so when combined with magic, they will be much stronger.
This season and its isekais are much better than the isekais of the previous season, at least, it seems, hopefully they continue like this 😁. Another anime to the list.

Ps: The first episode, and the group leader, the prime minister, already kissed the elf, did not make us wait xD.

Huh. I don't dislike this. I probably will dislike this, but for now it's alright.

The production is actually solid. That kiss was legit by favourite bit of fan service out of everything I've seen this season, and I absolutely hate giant tits most of the time, but that kiss was really well executed.

The cast seems interesting but there might end up being too many of them for any proper character development. Typical thing in anime where they try to do too much with too many characters.

This will rise or fall on how serious it takes itself. It was difficult to tell at points here, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and treated it like a bit of fun. If it becomes difficult to give that benefit of the doubt later on I can see myself dropping it.

I don't know if I should feel happy or sad that there are more kiss scenes in these types of isekai's as opposed to actual romance shows

rest was ok, was kinda hoping they didn't just skip 1 month in randomly, could've been a Kanata no Astra type scenario with the cast

Oh, and if one thing was clear to me in this episode is that bras don't exist in this place.......and it was nice....

it's the little things that have the biggest impact

Dude. I didn't realise but that's it! That was what made that scene so good. I usually hate giant boobs but they worked here and I think the realistic movement was a big part of it.

Also I'm 100% with you on the kiss. As I said above, that was some really well-executed... I don't even want to say fan service, because it felt really natural in-scene. But I'm a little suspicious that we won't get something like that again, and it will end up having been just fan service to get people to hooked.

Also agree I wish they didn't skip a month.

this series: high school prodigies (being arrogant on top of that)
danganronpa: hahaha! so cute.
have you ever heard nagito's laugh before ?

i thought the concept was interesting but unfortunately, too many things went out of hand or logic. i mean, journalist = ninja ? all of them are japanese ? even though number one in the world ? thats a big statement. I seriously thought having all of these prodigies went into another world is pretty interesting, moreover, it's not one guy and the rest is a girl. just the way they approach it, the way they introduced it, the way they explain how they will get into another world could be way better than that.

wasted potential imo.
first 2 minutes, I thought it would be interesting like a guy that turned into slime in another world but meh.. im gonna stick around for a while to see how things going

i dont dislike it that much though, it ok(in enjoyment perspective).
looks a little bit fun.

Those who say this is generic probably don't watch many animes.
Honestly this is quite different from other isekai and main reason : no stupid harem.
The adaptation of the characters was done really well and fast.
They actually looked for an objective by themselves, no world to save, some interesting skills though a bit too op.
What is common with others is that they easily do what they want.

Ok, now it seems even more generic. The whole plot will probably consist of "look, how cool we are" showcasing each character one by one. If only we could take them seriously. Yeah, good job making a business work with seemingly no effort but it's fine as long as the show is considered a childish fairy-tale. Which isn't bad in itself but I'm just not sure I'd want to watch something like that.

The scene with cutting wood with katana made me laugh and cringe at the same time.
The random girl who doesn't even look all that useful apart from just being there for cute loli fanservice was already annoying.

Well, I guess, I'll give it a couple more episodes.

Isn't Samurai de gozaru from that phone isekai? At least Politician, Nin Journalist & Ms Black Jack are interesting roles... and Tsukasa's hot enough to watch.
