THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Yeah, definitely not a fan of the main guy in the show, at least his real life version.

That first fight definitely cannot be taken seriously when Seiichi fights a...monkey. However, it looks like Seiichi got a boost in skills. This anime pretty much adheres every isekai tropes imaginable including RPG elements. That Gorilla's fighting skill is no joke LOL

This is pretty much the harem version of Arifureta, made by a small studio which only did shorts for a time, then coming back years later for it's 1st full-fledged TV series. Despite studios feel. and Children's Playground Entertainment co-production on this show, Hotline is mainly on this.

Oh, combine last season's Tsukimichi on the comedy/parody side and Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? on the skill/ability side. U35 from Aquatope is doing the character designs for this one too.


MC Hiiragi Seiichi is what he is: a fatso version of Makoto Misumi, while the class are all transported right at the heart of the summoned town. Having to eat the seeds (or Fruits) of Evolution, he's a barbarian at best surviving in an RPG-like world to quickly evolve him into an OP character.

This Kaiser Kong gorilla character (who calls itself (or rather herself) Saria) that overshadows Seiichi and is almost like spider demon Mio in every way, goddamn it I'm not supposed to laugh, but its pretty faces sure got me laughing.

Decent production values with the OST, and will I see this as more of an influence from Tsukimichi? Yes AND no.

The most damning thing is that the MC is the same VA as Demon Slayer's Zenitsu, so take that as you will.

The MC looks just like Makoto from Moonlit Fantasy. LMAO. And, yes this is an Isekai as well. Here he's transported with his whole class into another world and it has the same Isekai features involved in it with RPG like setting, skill-boosting, etc.

He ate a Fruit of Evolution which obviously gave him quite a few skills and now he's ready to head on to his journey in this world. That gorilla was rather strong. LOL. Idk seems quite generic just like every other hundred of Isekais out there. But, let's see how this one goes.

Decent first episode. Yoshino Nanjo's OP and Poppin'Party's ED were pretty good though.
At this point, Seiichi will be a lot stronger than every reincarnated.

Basically Arifureta 2.0, just going to stick with this cause how I love shitty Isekai's.
Don't really like the MC but gotta live with it.
The OP/ED are pretty good and same goes for the OST.

Got Sekiro flashbacks fighting monkeys...

The show reminded me more of Tsukimichi than Arifureta. The same below average plot and the same strange comedy. Gotta admit though this one is way more retarded. Well, at least I had a few laughs...

Oh yeah...So
The trash tier Isekai of this season is here and i mean "bottom of the sewer" level of trash tier, in every season since a few year now we got one, i mean Isekai genre was never great except for very rare exception but that genre just become way worst since like 2016.
After Isekai no Smartphone, Master of Ragnarok, High School prodigies, Redo let's be serious that was a isekai in disguise in term of quality, let's us introduce the new entry in the abyssal level of trash, Shinka no Mi.

Another Anime where a trash tier MC, with no personality, a weakling shit, wihout any charisma, will use a bs power that doesn't belong to him, who get lend to him from some god or other bs event, therefore will 0 merit in his accomplisment.

And he of course going to have a bs Harem that come out of nowhere because the women will fall for the trash MC after 10 sec, because A4 white page without any charisma and personality are interesting.

I already know how it's going to go, drop.

Can't say I hated it though. These kinda shows keep me invested until the MC shows up in front of his shocked classmates again, which often takes a lot of episodes.

It's like Arifureta and Tsukimichi together. More comedy, and like both he defeats a creature and they become a sexy girl. Lmao they did a great job drawing the gorilla woman.. Also this just makes me REALLY wish Arifureta was out already, hopefully S2 has waaaay better animation and no production problems like they had in S1

I CHOISE ok. I like the episode, but for me was wrong he evolve and become skinny. Except that, was nice, but my question was, why did God take the whole school away? what is the enemy? how many they are?
Another think, why he send the mc alone for the woods? ESPECIALLY THIS WOODS? The god is like the earth god from tsukimichi or the evil tania?
About the fruit of evolution, if for primates the max evolution in humans what the Mc will become when he arrived the max evolution?

Need to watch few more episodes to make my mind if it's trash or something mediocre.
Right now visually is not that bad, but mc is very dislikable so far and the story is a bit too generic.

I am sold cause Queen Hanazawa is the pretty redhead!! Yet slightly turned off cause all I can hear in the MC is Zenitsu. It's not a bad start, I had kinda expected it to be worse, so I will keep watching. Already have Arifureta and Kumo desu ga vibes from it. All the others girl who appeared in the OP looks cute, so if anything that might just be my reason to keep watching it.

Yup, this show really feels like the worst parts of arifureta, spider, and tsukimichi, I mean, I get the idea but feels really bad executed, and that MC he really remembers me of anime 1st episode Asta, not a nice thing to remember...
Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

Hmm. I don't know about this one since I never seen Arifureta or Tsukimichi. It seems like an isekai parody, but I didn't find the jokes funny or entertaining at all. It just seems like a typical iskeai where the MC just bumbles his way through the new world as he goes from a fat bastard to a regular guy. It has the same RPG elements that you see in every other iskeai that is a dime a dozen. The interactions between the gorilla and the MC were not as entertaining as I thought it would be. Now I'm kind of pissed that I wasted my time watching this show when I could have watched something better. That's the price I pay for taking a chance of something. It's all about trial and error. lol.

Agreed, it's seems to have taken the absolute worst parts of every other isekai, and combined it with a thoroughly annoying MC and generic art. Not to mention it fails miserably at being funny. 1st show this seasons to go in the trash heap

Honestly it started off kind of like "Whatever" but for me this is comedy gold. Even if you don't like the comedy, I think it might be saved by the amount of good looking waifus in the opening and ending.

This Isekai gave a feeling of difference compared to other Isekai, I hope it doesn't get bad, but let it go, Protagonist losing weight during this invocation to this world is out of nowhere that, I hoped there was a plausible explanation for this,But this monkey fight was very funny there really was a comedy in this fight.

Dude, wtf? A freakin red monke with old man voice turned out to be a pretty girl? Bruh moment when knowing her va is HanaKana. Dude, wtf is this! Stench performer? Come on, Hiro, don't scream all day, you stink! I mean, well, this is quite a weird af feeling episode. Very standard isekai with whatever they did, its fine. Fruit of evolution as the excuse to make the mc powerful, wait, its not that. But its that complete harvesting skill. Well, whatever, okay episode, i'd say. Nothing great so here, because everything just looks mid af, and i am here for HanaKana only. Still lets be positive, you guys, because i am always open to a very generic isekai. So, lets see if the next waifu can change my mind.

HanaKana in a trashy isekai harem let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was hilarious, especially the part with the monke waifu xD.

I liked that final part where they show his stats and explain his skills. His special skill sounds pretty broken lol.

I'm totally in, that was a lot of fun. Looking forward to more monke waifu and the rest of the harem.

Still with that harem and ecchi character that kumo desu ga missed. Very decent storyline and good animation.
Its gonna be fun for me and i know it so hoping he he becomes ultra op and flaunt in front of his classmates soon who will be urban crybabies while he had become battle hardened op hero.

Ahahaha this anime is really fun so far xD from fat with absolutely no stats to thin with high boosted stats, so the gorilla girl can transform into the naked girl we saw at the beginning xD that's way better than staying into gorilla form for sure, well so far it seems like a guilty pleasure show but I like it

I gotta say, this was a frustrating start to this show for me. Maybe I just haven't recovered from Hatena Illusion yet, but the show already feels and looks like it's heading in that direction.

Seiichi should consider the fact that because he was fat, he got granted a special skill that is quite, well, special. Heck, even his body odour has attracted a female gorilla... does that count as him being lucky?

That 5 months later time skip killed me tho. And that opening, visually, also killed me. This ain't gonna be good...

First episode looks fine so far. I was expecting a more rushed show. Most likely to happen soon after the initial plot considering the opening scenes and 12 episodes only season.

That short clip with Saria at the beginning was total shit though (work of a gorilla perhaps) which is making anime-only people here confused I believe. Hopefully, that'll be resolved next week.

Well, it's less transformation and more (insert the main plot of the series). Recalling Saria's status can also help you figure it out. We'll see how they're gonna adapt it on the next episode though and hopefully they don't skip it kek
