Produced by Production Reed, the first anime season aired in 12 episodes in Summer 2017. Crunchyroll and Funimation streamed the first season with subtitles and an English dub, respectively.

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. adapts Patora Furuhaya's adventure fantasy light novel, which began on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in 2013. HJ Novel began publishing the title in May 2015, featuring illustrations by Eiji Usatsuka (Zero no Tsukaima). The 26th volume is scheduled to ship on April 19.

Synopsis
In a thoughtless blunder, God accidentally strikes down Touya Mochizuki with a stray bolt of lightning! As an apology, God offers him one wish and the chance to live again in a magical fantasy world. Touya happily accepts the offer and, for his one wish, asks only to keep his smartphone with him as he begins his journey into this mysterious world.

Starting over in this new world, Touya finds it is filled with magic—which he has an affinity for—and cute girls vying for his attention. These girls—the twins Linze and Elze Silhoueska, Yumina Urnea Belfast, Leen, and Yae Kokonoe—provide Touya with no end of romantic frustrations, but also companionship as he discovers the secrets of this new world.

I absolutely loved this show. Looks like most people hated it? But it was one of favorites! I have actually been checking in on news about the potential release of a 2nd season for a long time now - so this has me so hyped! The LN series is really good as well.
WHY???! Explain it to me PLEASE, I don’t get it. No hate on you for liking it, but it’s a terrible show.

Oh no. The number one worst anime I have subjected myself to, continues.

Why???! Does it sell well? It isn’t high rated!!

Don’t get me wrong, I won’t hate on anyone for liking the show, but you have to recognize it’s bad, right? It’s not a parody at all, and it’s pretty obvious the plot, characters and fight scenes/animation are all just terrible. Not to mention the copious amount of fanservice created to attempt to replace said traits, including some of a 12 year old.

I don’t understand, so I’m just gonna go sit in the corner. I’m done with the Internet for a while.

I was hoping and waiting for this to come. Would love to see more waifus.

maybe he'll get a Uphone in this new season.

I have only read up to vol15, yes the ones following up where a great jump in quality and feels (with all those plot twists about his identity and etc), but when most of the harem is formed around vol14-15 it was still a nice read, better than the first starting volumes.


I have read all 41 books. I just can't get enough of it. It happen often the anime ends right when it gets good.


I feel you, it is not like I stopped on vol15 cuz I was bored, but having read so much a break was needed, but after the early volumes, the whole harem is well setup and it comes to a point where you just feel it would be fine if you just read about the MC getting along with all the girls and having those light romcom moments, and that didnt stop being fun on vol15, definitly eager to go back one day and read at least 25 volumes xD

I didn't realize this got so much hate, wow.

Anyway, just waiting for another Index season...

Indeed, if this trash can get a S2, then we can get New Testament, even after JC Staff butchered S3, they also butchered DAL S3, so all signs point that if we get a Index S4 aka New Testament S1, changes are it would get an improvement in overall animation (deserves at least that much).

Moral point of the story is that if this trash can get sequels, almost anything can, at least Spice and Wolf got some more stuff coming too.

At this point, Momcom Isekai, Death March and Master of Ragnarok will also get second seasons, it seems...

Becoming an anime fan was a mistake :(


Just stop following the seasonals (aside from retro stuff, like the new Dai no Daibouken and upcoming Hoshi no Samidare) and try to watch some older stuff (pre-2010's era).

Back then, even the early isekais (Escaflowne, Rayearth, 12 Kingdoms, Fushigi Yuugi, Digimon 1, Dunbine) were very creative and unique.

I'm looking forward to it. Like Death March Rhapsody, Smartphone season 1 ends before the story really picks up. I just hope they use light novel Touya instead of season 1 Touya. Touya in the light novel kicked the crap out of a noble son who talked shit about Yumina, and later he gets engaged to Sue to keep a creepy prince from another country from getting his hands on her. Later, he shoots the guy through his hand, point blank.

The best Rokujouma books are right after the anime ends.

Fuck yeah.

I'm not gonna watch it. I didn't even like the first season. I just know this is going to piss off the kind of person that I want to be pissed off, so this announcement is great.


true words of the internet

amen.

Well, it certainly poses an interesting dilemma. Is it better - scratch that, less worse - for more works of awful isekai to be adapted, or those that already exist to continue?

Perhaps the former, at least it cuts down on the possible number of future awful isekai by one.

It’s crazy how a lot of people are bitching about this getting a season 2 and your anime selection be so trash lol like get over yourselves. If you don’t like it don’t comment and definitely don’t hate on other for liking the show. Because again most of the one hating your anime selections is complete garbage sane goes for your favorite MC picks lol this show may not be the best but is entertaining to some

Apr 18, 2022 1:53 AM by Pop720

why? at least could've chosen DeathMarch or Hyakuren the less bad trash.
just hope it's Silverlink or an average studio.
