Never had read the LN, I don't know how this anime will turn out. But I admit I'm impressed by the first episode. The way that the MC doesn't just accept that he's a reincarnation is plus for me. Maybe it is a typical isekai harem in theme, but there are many ways to tell a story, and I hope this one is a good one. And as a fan of Matsuoka, I sincerely hope this wouldn't turn out to be another flop.

I repited the train-kun scene for like 5 minutes, it was hilarious as fuck!!!!!!!!! This should have been a comedy but instead we got kirito following the "how to isekai" rule encyclopedia. The opening gave it all away, if someone doesn't have any clue of what is probably gonnna happen next.

The Death By Train scene was the best part of the episode and was worth a rewatch. Otherwise, it seems pretty generic on many levels. Most of the above posters have listed the usual items so I will just say that I do hope it gets some element of attraction coming up soon. I can't just keep rewatching the train scene....lol.

It seems that this will be another great isekai to watch this season.
Great start, i really enjoyed the 1st episode and the introduction to the MC. Glad that this time at least it wasn't a truck lmao

That ending scene, what a badass, this kid will deliver a lot! I do hope that his "gf" that he promised to marry will join him, oh and also i rewatched the 1st scene i am almost sure that the kid from the bus and that girl also reincarnated, the question is if that girl was his old friend, if yes then that would be a hella coincidence xD

Anyways, will be waiting for the next episode.

Yup... another generic Isekai. Really predictable and very typical. Damn... I wish we had some good Isekai's for fuck sake. But instead, we got this. Not saying it'll be really bad cuz that could change in a single episode but for now man this is your average generic Isekai.

I hope they turn things up a bit to make it more interesting. Rio seems like a nice guy but once again, there's nothing that differs him from other Isekai protagonists, for now. We'll see how that goes. Hoping for some cool in the future episodes. It's a bit darker than usual tho which can be really intriguing in the upcoming episodes.

Bro just watch it or don’t, I don’t think it’s bad, it’s watchable


Did I say it's bad? I said it's generic like every other Isekai out there.

Ugh

Generic isekai entry (at least they were nice enough to give truck-kun a day off and give the shift to train-kun), generic plot, generic villains, generic BGMs. Animation was decent, but not decent enough to save the story. At least the girls are cute.

Hopefully they do something semi-interesting in the next episode or two, or otherwise I don't see myself finishing this

I guess the only real different thing about this premise was the fact that he was somehow merged with a real person in a different world instead of either being transported as he was or being born with memories.

Honestly, I thought it was okay until the point where he brings the princess back to the guard and the others looking for her. Everything from that point felt incredibly contrived and the writing was very poor. It's clear MC made the connection that the girl he found was kidnapped and also the one the group he met before was looking at, yet when asked to explain the situation he consistently says "She asked me to". Like what kind of an explanation is that? He's just contributing to the misunderstanding. Is it really that weird to mention that you found her kidnapped and brought her back here and also mention that he can lead them right to the scene of the crime? At least, he eventually mentions that he rescued her and I assume he's the one who leads them to crime. Of course, we would have to see him treated like a criminal even though he clearly helped them. I mean, if he was really a part of the kidnapping plan, would he really bring her back?
I'm just saying, the scenario feels very contrived just so the MC could be X and Y characters important to the story.

I'll give it a few more episodes and the benefit of the doubt.


The way I see it, the knight did not bring him to the castle because she thinks he's the kidnapper. It was more like she wanted explanations and testimony since it was fact that he was with the abducted princess. They needed information from him and she also said at first to treat him courteously, but the knight in charge of the princess's escort messed up and was trying to make up by forcing Rio to make false confession so he could gain merit by arresting the culprit.

Yeah, I understood that. It's just that the whole scenario felt awfully contrived to me.

Black hair mc with a black hair attire, and same va? I can't help but it can be a meme, even with the later plot. Like, yeah, the mc got hit by the Train-san. Because the bus he got there, somehow, drunken.
So, thats it, the journey of the mc, retaining not only himself vague memories. But the body he got there too, under the name of Rio. Two soul mixed in one body? Or what? I still don't understand that shit much, together with those pink hair spirit, looks like. But, its looks a bit refreshing. So, why not, right?

The plot devices were so ridiculous, especially with the coins, too convenient, and those stupid short-tempered little princess and knight too. Perfect. But the girls are so good, full hair color, and a lot of loli too on these premiere, and later.

So, maybe i am just too drunk. But, i can understand that this will be my another kind of guilty pleasure to filling out my generic harem fantasy show presented by Matsuoka.
Oh, dear, i feel enlightened....

That certainly was quite a brutal entrance into a Isekai.

Immediately, I am very impressed with the art and animation, it looks really nice. So far, I've really been enjoying the anime that have come out this season. Tho, it's your normal cliche isekai, I find it quite entertaining, and look forward to more episodes.

Are we done with these idiotic power fantasies yet? No? Pity. Anyway, here's Yet Another. Reincarnated in another world, where all the adults are complete imbeciles, and all the females ages 12-25 want nothing more than to be breeding stock for the protagonist (again). I can't overstate how stupid the characters in this show are either. An actual conversation that happens is "You'll stick out if you go into the slums wearing fancy clothes." "What? These clothes are fancy? Not everybody wears giant frilly ball gowns?" This is a conversation that happens in a slum, and it's an adult expressing their disbelief at this remark. Which is quickly followed up by one of them going "Wait, I totally forgot I can just scry the entire area, making this entire conversation pointless, but also reveals that the protagonist's power level is over 9,000!"(AGAIN)

A lot of potential with this one, Rio isn’t your typical isekai protag. It feels like a mix of Maou Gakuin, Mahouka and Kaifuku. Definitely glad I picked this one up. I was hesitant because I don’t drop anything and I don’t like getting into bad stuff, but this has potential.

Okay let see:

*Incredible magic power and great fighting skills - Check

*Dumb boring cute loli potential harem waifus - Check

Ah yes this is 100% another Isekai garbage, now I will not drop it cause I wanna get some laugh of how crappy this show is (which I already did)

Jesus Christ, that's probably the most brutal isekai death I have seen so far lmao. Surprisingly enjoyed that, interesting that Rio is still Rio, it's just that he gained the memories of Haruto. Besides Rio, Celia and Flora, the other characters are damn annoying, I hope we meet more decent people later on.

Another harem to the harem king Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's list. Also like the artstyle, it's really crisp.

It's kinda funny by this point on how quick people get triggered over an isekai story. It's also very sad to be honest for me since people now so quick to judge a story merely by the premise and the first episode. For me what matters is not the typical isekai plot but the execution, development, writing, and characters are crucial as well. I like this story (read the LN) although the premise is so generic and typical because I love the characters and the execution of the plot, the developments, the interactions of the characters and writings are also very good.

As for the anime, I think it's kinda fast in pacing but for me it's still 100x better than Arifureta adaptation, especially on the animation side. I love that short fighting scene, you can clearly see the effort they put on the episode which is what most important to me since I often disappointed by the lack of quality of anime as if there's not much effort being put on. Hope they would explain more and slow down the pacing for the next episodes. I'm still very much looking forward for this series since it's one of my favorites.

Honestly I was already expecting these reviews saying its a typical isekai MC that's overpowered. The first episodes might tick alot of people off but it gets better after each one. Also, see the replies above me to understand how the MC beat off the kidnapper.

Yeah, I understood that. It's just that the whole scenario felt awfully contrived to me.
In addition to that I would like to add that there's two important points being cut off from the anime :

1. MC is basically in a confused state, his old and new personalities haven't completely merged. The old Rio would never bother saving the girl nor responding to them girls when they first met, while Haruto would never mistake his words/excuses infront of them when he was found out carrying the girl. This part was not explained in the anime (or rather, changed. In the novel he was looking up to the sky in a daze when the girls saw him). That's why he didn't try to explain himself to them properly, its because he's just a ten year old child who doesn't care about everything except revenge. Right now it is mostly his 10 years old personality combined with Haruto's morals and knowledge.

2. There's this important law inside the kingdom where a confession will be treated as the truth no matter what others have said, including the princess. The torturers are already aware that he is the savior, but he's just an unknown orphan so he tried to break his mind by torturing him and make him admit stuffs so he can pull up that law on him before the princess can testify otherwise. He's sweating there because he needs him to confess before the princess wakes up, basically race against time. Too bad for him, MC didn't break easily even though he's just a kid (unknown whether this is due to Haruto inside himself or just Rio's ego).

But in conclusion you are not wrong to say that this feels contrived and forced, though at least the author did have some excuses with it.

I think he could've easily got out of that restraining wooden handcuffs, unless it was fused with some kind of magical nuisance which it didn't seemed like, or just use his newly found enhance physical ability with magic to re-beat the crap out of the torturing guy, It kinda made me mad, anyways I love isekai's and I live for isekai's l, so yeah I will watch it till it becomes unbearable.

The 2nd Isekai show of the season, and for the main character like Haruto Amakawa, fuse every Isekai death reincarnation you know with the Mushoku Tensei reincarnation formula, and you get one body, two personalities: Rio, a lonewolf orphan who's fighting to survive another day in the slums and being an immigrant. Turns out he also can use magic by some unknown means, and that he learns quick to fend off an assailant.

The problems don't stop there: Getting into problems one after another that Rio can only comprehend situations he knows best, but all he got was allegations without trial for a kidnapping of royalty that he didn't commit. A good guy that got roped into some abhorring royalty torture treatment, and that put a detest to his face. All Rio got that out of the deal, is the enlistment in the Beltram Kingdom in the Royal Academy from Celia for saving the abducted 2nd Princess Flora.

A fantasy generic Isekai all the way through, will have to see more of what this could turn out to be. Hopefully it's not just a dark, revenge story for that sense, or otherwise it seems brain-dead to me that doesn't care much about it's obscenely fast pacing.
It's like a love child of Shield Hero and Wise Man's Grandchild but the baby is a normal kinda generic but entertaining baby that's the best way I can describe the LN and WN
