Welp, the final battle. I think it was destiny for Setsu to pick up that sword for this particular fight.

This was one of the most predictable finale though. They basically had two of the strongest characters in this series duke it out in a climatic fight. I guess they managed to make peace in the end although it feels like an open ending. Setsu's journey is truly over.

With Dezas and Levia being ambushed by Toma, Setsu comes to their aid, facing the brunt of the rematch with Toma for the predictable fight of insane proportions. And unless Setsu is down for the count, Toma would go on forever and ever until Setsu has fallen.

As if that's not enough, Toma lives on borrowed power to make him strong, and Setsu looked like he was on the verge of defeat, but he had a trump card to trap Toma within his dimensional magic to eat the curse within him to restore him back to normal and atone for his sins in his human form, by summoning magic to transfer all of Setsu's classmates back home, and going on his own trip. With this, Setsu is off to his own as well, but not before Yuhi joins him on his aimless journey.

Thank God this show is finally over. Good riddance to a squandered potential of an Isekai.

I feel bad for Toma
What Setsu did to him was kinda messed up...

If Toma had the ability to go back to his old world all along, then why didn't he go back when Setsu did too????

What an excellent episode. I will not allow anyone to call this trash. I suddenly feel like watching all the past 11 episodes was worth it for this ending. It was not as bad as foe and not as good as mushoku tensei (which airs in 3 weeks) but the story was honestly something true to the genre isekai. When we think isekai we think magic, monarchy, different races, and this had it all. And this is the reason i love isekai. I get why some people might hate this but my honest review score would be 7/10.

God this was an horrible isekai, it takes alot for me to concider an isekai anime bad / unenjoyable to watch and this one managed it perfectly, but hey atleast all other isekai this season was pretty decent and fun to watch.

2/10 for this one at max

Can't blame the studio if the source content is weak. This whole thing just skip relationships and world building by calling everything a "second time" as if to insinuate a faux nostalgia. This of course falls flat just as fast as one gets tired of seeing "second time" on the name of every episode. I can't escape the feeling of if I'm watching a bad 3rd or 4th season of something that was much better in past.

That was the best battle we got in this season, everything was wrapped up well, Toma is going to atone for his sins and setsu with yuuhi is going to explore to what this world has to offer than to go to his original world.

So, Toma gets to live, without any real punishment for that matter, but all the people that were experimented on only to get "saved" by Toma into being forced to become killing machines are K.I.A.? This ending is HIGH up there for one the most hypocritical endings I've ever seen.

Setsu saved Toma, he's now a good guy, meh. The students got sent back but ofc Yuuhi ofc stayed with Setsu. Was hoping to see a harem end but well this got an open end. Was below average isekai anime, if it got a harem end would have been worth it but anyway.

Well thank God this is over. Felt like a second season to a show we got no first season for. Wanted us to be emotionally invested when we had no reason to be. Y’all know I give everything a 10 but this was ass. Not even good fanservice to carry it like most mediocre isekai stories. Dunno what they were cooking here

Eh, at least the final episode was decent in that it had a final battle and I believe it briefly showed most, if not all, of the characters after Toma was defeated. I was a little surprised that Setsu did not kill Toma but when Setsu saw a vision in which Toma was cursed he realized that Toma was not in complete control of himself and I think that's when he realized that Toma was being manipulated. The brief showing of a sorceress or mage made me think that maybe there is someone else out there that curses objects and could eventually corrupt another human or humanoid. (Rhetorical question, does that mean that there could be a sequel where we see this for a third time? I kid....)

Anyways, the "second time" gimmick didn't work out as well as it was probably planned but beyond that the animation was lackluster and so was the storyline. I didn't care much for Toma's reasoning for getting upset with Setsu and I think he did kill innocent people and I don't mean the ones that he "saved" from being experimented on. When Toma reached Dezas and Levia it looked like Toma had killed a bunch of guards, what about atoning for that? I was conflicted on what score to give but Elka gave me a chuckle and Yuhi seems alright so I'll give this a 6/10.

Doing things a 'second time' doesn't make this generic isekai with an overpowered mc and bland characters and story any better.
Honestly the premise of it being the second time had some potential like how 'the hero is always cautious' handled it

I agree setsu is self centered and the type to makes sly remarks to a blind beggar. I dislike how the mc didn’t even acknowledge his on mishaps on how toma actually came to be. Dude was in a carriage with his new friends see his old friend and doesn’t say a thing And was surprised how toma turned out ? Sounds inconsiderate toma should have been the mc fr

I can't believe Toma really came out here with the machine gun

Honestly it would have been an insane twist if Toma won somehow, sadly he didn't

I am really disappointed in the outcome. No one died, not even Toma. It's a bit too easy. Like... what were the consequences? There were none. It's like nothing happened. 

Anyway Toma... he was a pretty good villain in some aspects. He would've been a really good hero. He should've been the MC. His backstory was also the most interesting out of everyone.

But... this anime is just a bunch of concepts that could be good that are ruined

I gotta say, this final battle was very intense. Since Toma brought a gun to a sword fight. Toma's gotten even crazier just because he wants to be by Setsu's side, and I really that he was gonna kill Toma! At least Toma has calmed down, sent everyone back home, and determined to atone for his crimes. I like that Yuhi stayed and is traveling with Setsu, they're basically a couple, and sure adventuring and fighting monsters is the highlight of an isekai life, but it never hurts to have a peaceful slow isekai life once in a while. I know I would want that if I was fighting in a year long war!

Just a generic mediocre series, never really bad per se, but it rarely did anything great, interesting, or even just fun. The final fight with Toma was a rare exception, the animation was a step up and the battle had a certain intensity to it lacking from the rest of the show. Granted the final victory felt like an ass pull, but meh. Aside from the last episode the only other times the show caught my interest were the flashbacks. I would've much rather watched Setsu's first time in this land, it seemed far more compelling than the retread.

One of those anime that tried to have like the whole entire LN series crammed into 12 episodes. I get it, if you wanted to actually adapt full material properly for any LN, it'd take like 6-10 seasons of 24-26 episodes. But to think you can create a proper adaptation by taking bits and pieces of important moments/scenes with only 12 episodes, and expect that will get people to buy the books is beyond me. This is why I can't take any of the anime seriously because more often than not, the books actually give a proper story and detail that makes you wonder what kind of crack they smoked to create this kind of hot garbage out of a story that is definitely way better than they adapted. It's not like these books are incredible, but there is always a huge difference in how much better the story is told compared to the presentation from these adaptations. Oftentimes, they add their own little things that make the story or people even more childish, or feel like shounen characters.

I swear there used to be a time on MAL, roughly 12 years back or more, where incremental scores could begiven instead of just bland "whole" grades. For example, I give this show in question a 5.5/10, and I rate shows as such in my notes for each show after completing them because its not enough to just say "Oh this is a 5, but almost a 6...if only the scoring system was better". BUt it is what it is.
Isekai Shoukan was ok in many regards, but it really missed the makr in terms of either making this a longer show wiht up to 24 episodes so we could really be immersed ( it felt rushed, like most modern anime have felt over the last decade and a half). But really if they had just introduced us fresh, from the protagonists point of view from episode 1, then after he won the day and all that, brought him back in the way that this shows plot presents, it would have been a much more enjoyable and comfy show. WORLD BUILD PROPERLY! Dont just show us one place with demons, and another with cat folks ffs. Overall the look of the show was good enough, and the action was ok, but everything really happened at the end, and the main dude, Setsu, was another typical overpowered MC. Thus...5.5, and I dont feel there will be nor should be a 2nd season, but whom knows. *shrugs Moving onward, ever onward on my road to one day see 5,000 or more anime lol

so... those guns...

Does this mean Toma somehow also travel to "Earth"?... since the fantasy world they're in have no actual guns, especially machine/mini-guns...

Or he got those from someone that knows of Earth knowledge...

Well, that was a weird end...

Tons of mob and background characters died, even that Drag-guy... pretty sure he's DED-DED from being stab through the heart.

Also, I guess this didn't actually end up as a Harem, the Earth girl won.

It's not actually. Anime seems to cover the first 3 novels and leave 2 of them out by changing the final battle to skip the parts about Crystal, which I assume is the actual final boss.
