| Combat was just underwhelming, the hype wasn't even a reality. But overall nb. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| while it didnt hit me as hard as the manga did (i see some ln readers fuming), it does it pretty good job summing up the show. it isnt as actiony as many others and i think it falls real flat on that. the manga was pretty awesome and mainly targets older viewers. so many feels there compared to the show |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| Ok-ish end after disastrous ep. 11. At least emo-Will didn't take too long. |
| I loved the first half, but the moment he left Blood, Mary and Gus, it almost changed the pace and was a bit confusing, especially the last two eps. Even the final battle felt...empty. A shame, because honestly, I enjoyed the show up until then. Still gonna look forward to S2 though! |
 |
| Better episode compared to the ones in the middle. The fight with the Chimera reminded me of Dragons Dogma's fights. |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |
| My 179th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
ShikishimaKrile said: And now after 12 episodes thinking oh i love the ending song of this anime, i realized its from yanagi nagi no wonder then lol. I was a little sad they didn't play her ED theme in the final ep, such a good outro song ❤ one of my favorites for fall season themes. The insert song in EP12 was sung by Suzuki Eri (Bee, the shorty who sings tales) "Saihate no Bukun Uta" by Robina Goodfellow (Eri Suzuki) (ep 12) source from ANN (and went back to ep 8 (@8:50) to make sure it & it's the same VA) |
Respectfully ofc |
| It was a really normal ride. It's my first time watching an anime where they took a whole season just for character building. But at least we now know the MC's goal. I hope in second season it gets more intense. In this season barely any serious event happened. 6/10 for this season. I hope it gets better so that I can give it 7. |
| So, not the best anime, but it was ok, a little slow but Im ok to see the character grow etc, and then starting his adventure Like a lot, I prefered the first half with Mary Blood and Gus, I miss them ;-; Really liked the musics tho ! |

Ryuseishun said: This ended up as easily one of the most boring and bland fantasy series I've ever watched in the recent years. While it at least didn't try to be junk food in the beginning, the lackluster production value DID NOT help at all and even then, everything was quite boring to say the least. The lore and initial setup were kinda decent at first, but poor directing and lack of interesting hooks brought down whatever appeal this might've had. It winds up as just as a typical RPG-like fantasy story now with very uninspiring attempts at worldbuilding. I especially did not like Will; he was boring as hell. What was the point of him being reincarnated? It's not like with Rudeus where with the aforementioned being reincarnated in the first place actually mattered a lot by itself. With Will here, on the other hand, they could've discarded the isekai stuff altogether and it would've went the exact same way. Might as well give it 1/10. Not only because it was so bland and tasteless, but also because it did next to nothing commendable aside from a decent OP and ED theme. Disclaimer here, too: I read both the manga AND the LN, and they're not that much better story-wise sans the usual additional "readable only" details. At least the art from the LN kinda slaps. I was actually shocked to see so many people actually state that the story was bland. I feel like I should ask what fantasy/isekai stories these people are reading to call this bland. Even with this anime's shoddy adaption that seems to pretty much apply to all isekai that comes out of japan, this is still better then like 95% of the isekai that Japan has pumped out period. AhriTheS3xyFox said: I'm confused, why did Menel call Will a "coward"? What? Is that suppose to be an attempt to insult him? Man, all this feels cliche... And the plot is awful... This was not an enjoyable watch, it was boring, the voice acting were horrible, especially the scenes that William cried in. Just another typical Isekai 2/10 for me This hurts my soul. "typical isekai". I feel like we live in alternate realities. A typical japanese isekai is usually along the lines of "the overpowered hero is cautious!". To label this story that attempts to actually be serious and tries to spin an emotional tale the same as the other generic self insert broken power fantasy isekai's has me curled up in a ball. |

| The action is so lackluster, but I don’t hate it.. the story is fine. I like William and Menel, they’re cute.. |
 |
| Solid ending. Certainly doesn't deserve the shit rating it has now. |
Sigmar-Unberogen said: Solid ending. Certainly doesn't deserve the shit rating it has now. Even a 6.00 rating would satisfy MAL's criteria of being labeled as "Fine" per MAL's own language and descriptors for the numerical ratings. A high 6 (presently 6.94 at the time of this post) can hardly be called "shit" in that context. For instance, I rated it a 6 and it had its strengths and weaknesses. It was mostly "passable", "serviceable", or "decent", but I'm not going to pretend either that it was as good as or I personally enjoyed it as much as (or both) anything I've rated a 7 or higher. |
| not bad, but I wouldn't say it was good. the first 5 episodes took too long for the introduction. and here I thought Will would come to find the old elf that makes a deal with Augustus back then. I guess I would hope that happen in 2nd season. |
| he did all that without knowing it makes him a lord in the end :D i am sure the priest will want hes daughter to marry him, its so predicable outcome |

| So when’s season 2? This show is too awesome to just be merely 12 eps. |
| A bit lukewarm season ending. I still might watch the next season though. |
 |
| I'm impressed. Not everyone can manage to make story in a fantasy setting so boring. |
| The way the battle unfolded, witnessing Will and Menel employing distinct debuff and status magic while gradually wearing down the chimera was truly impressive. That final song about the faraway paladin was a perfect touch. I'm still quite intrigued about how the penetrator handles battles. Single-handedly taking down a dragon speaks volumes about his strength. Considering the hint dropped in the post-credit scene, it seems the next season might focus more on the political aftermath of Will's actions rather than individual adventures. But for now, I'm content with where they left things in this season. 6/10. Here's hoping they allocate a larger budget for animation in the upcoming one. |

| This was disappointing like most Isekais. I liked the concept but the story and the writing is just a mediocre and dull fantasy with religion. It had an interesting start but once the adventuring began it became boring to the point where I had to force myself to watch it. There is nothing remarkable about the characters either. Will's effeminate personality mixed with a female VA doesn't help his character. He is crybaby who is kind of OP but has a self-loathing nice guy attitude with an emotionally unstable mindset which makes him even more irritating to watch regardless of his pre-isekai loser past. His androgynous tsundere Elf friend with a male VA was a bit better. But Reystov and Bee were okay. Overall it was an utter waste of time. |
| It could've been a lot better in my opinion, the premise was good, the start of it was stellar, the whole undead parents raising a human child something that I haven't seen since I watched " Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi ", but after that the show took a nose dive and it almost came crashing down, if not for some good moments at the end, even if it was rushed and from what I could gather the producers changed a few things from the LN counterpart. I enjoyed about 70% of this show, the percentage would've been a lot higher if the animation wasn't a power point presentation. Maybe the 2nd season will be better. |
| It's great that we see a story devoted to the dwarves. In shows it's always humans this, elves that, dwarves never get their due. Nice to see. Also Bee is so cute omg. |
 |
| The second with him as a baby training under the three heroes was PEAK. The rest seemed like more build up and him growing. The finale wasn't really a finale just like a stopping point. He honestly did have a point. He is on a different level than most people and he needs to allocate people to roles and tasks they can handle better. I enjoyed it quite a bit. |
| Found this pretty decent, or just straight up good. While it can't be said that the pacing is always up to par, everything else is solid. Was impressed with the worldbuilding, unique aspects that distinguish it from other isekai of this era, and the thoughtful introspection you see Will undergo throughout. A few scenes also had mediocre animation, but I didn't notice it for the most part, meaning the animation never actually fell below being passable enough times for it to impact the watch. |
