A good brainless action isekai to watch if you can't be bothered with watching anything remotely serious.
Some say that this is like a parody of isekai trope, but it certainly isn't. It follows each brainless isekai trope to the core. The only part of it that seems comedic is the MC himself, but even that has already been seen in other isekai like Overlord. Cid also follows that route of him being ignorant about what's actually happening and his side characters that worship him like he's a god explaining what's happening.
The MC himself is rather unlikable, like pretty much almost every character in this
...
series since most of them exist just for the sake of worshipping the MC or fan service.
Story is a simple brainless isekai story and it's progressing like pretty much any isekai does. Nothing special there, but it's enjoyable enough if you want to kill some time watching something dumb but enjoyable.
Literally, everything is there. An OP goofy MC, bunch of females so that an average viewer can imagine himself shagging an elf waifu from his favourite isekai show, stupid villains who are going to be demolished but MC's OPness, boobs, occasional "funny jokes" that no one sane enough would find funny, boobs, flashy action, magic school (ofc you need magic school, duh), boobs, MC worship, fantasy world in mostly western european setting... Everything your average isekai has, but slight above average fun factors so it has that at least. They also did something extraordinary in this season, they even introduced some mecha near the end. Imagine that? Revolutionary.
But yeah, in overall, it's an above average isekai that average viewer might find fun to chill to after watching something more serious.

It's a really fun, chill and soothing show and I really enjoyed it. If you're a fan of anime like Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori, K-On etc. you're going to love this one.
There is some drama in here for sure, but it's executed in a way that doesn't really disrupt the overall laidback atmosphere of the show and it really contributes to probably the best characteristic of this show which are it's characters. Characters are really flashed out and feel completely natural. The show doesn't focus on the main couple alone, but on the friendship between a group of characters and each one of them
...
has their own feelings, thoughts, worries, aspirations etc. and they are easily likeable and easy to identify with for an average viewer. You can see in this anime how this group of friends would naturally form connections in the real life.
In my opinion the most important thing in any relationship is a good communication. I like this part of the show too because, for example, it's completely natural that a shy nerdy introverted girl would categorize a beautiful girl that looks like a class queen as someone that she could never form a friendship with, but the way they they communicated their feelings and worries makes their friendship really realistic in the end and more special too.
Also, two main characters really go well with each other. Also, it's realistic how their friends would think that they are different from each other. But really, they share a lot of similarities, and I personally like how they are similar enough that you understand how they could form the relationship they have, and also different enough to complement and push each other towards being better versions of themselves. And this is something that the show actually shows you either through their communication or through their actions. In real life, you don't want someone who is a copy of you, whether as a partner or a friend. You want someone who is similar enough to you so that you can form the foundations for a long term relationship, but also different enough to make things interesting and to push your boundaries. You don't want someone who's always telling you how good you are, you want someone who can consciously see your flaws and point them out in a manner that will influence the change and make you a better person. And I think the importance of this is even more emphasized in the teen years, when you're still largely at a phase of forming your own identity and Self.
Good animations, good atmosphere, amazing characters, amazing execution. If you're fan of more goofy slice of life with over the top characters, or the slice of life that focuses heavily on romance and has the main characters blushing 10 times per episode, this might not be for you. This is a slice of life anime with probably the most flashed out and realistic characters I've seen. It's a really lovely show and I hope it gets the attention it deserves so thar we might get season two, even tho it is a PA Works show.

The biggest piece of shit anime in recent years. It's baffling how many people are defending it and considering it a masterpiece. This series really is a magnet for weirdos and borderline pedos. The only thing actually good about this anime is a production quality. And no matter how many good points someone might find about it, the one question still lingers over it... Where do you draw the line?
This anime has a biggest piece of degenerate MC that I've seen. You're literally watching anime about pedo groomer. A 40 year old dude sexually assaulting kids, molesting them, kidnapping and molesting them, grooming his future
...
wives, sniffing and squeezing panties of his loli teacher whenever he feels anxious, praying over those panties, constantly perving on women, taking advantage of emotionally vulnerable girl, and all of that masked as jokes or by the facade that he's actually in a body of a 10+ years old kid. He's still a 40 year old pedo groomer who has all of his memories and (in)sanity from previous life and that's a fact.
People talk about how this is supposed to be a redemption story. Redemption how? By marrying all three of his groomed wives and impregnating them when they're still fairly young (like Sylphie, she's 16 at that point)? By succeeding in his pedophilic grooming? No, this story has no redemption. Everything that MC does that's awful is just passed as jokes, he never faces any consequences, the other characters simply react to all of that like it's nothing, but whenever something bas happens to him, he's shown in a way like you're supposed to sympathise with him. And the worst thing is, too many people are doing exactly that.
And let's say it is a redemption story and that Rudeus says to himself that he's a degenerate pedo groomer and that he should stop. Is that supposed to be a compelling character development? A pedo groomer becoming a bit less of a sicko? This anime is a wish fulfilment story for perverted weird degenerates.
So I ask again, where do you draw the line?

The story start is kind of fast, so it's easy to get hooked. From the beginning there are things happening. Story in general has lot of potential but in my opinion has a lot of flaws. One of them are politics. Author's handling of politics is mediocre at best. Lot of things about politics of whole manga doesn't make sense. This is hard to explain without spoilers so I can't dwell on it too much, but let's say that pretty much everything from succession, laws, government type, political structure, general audience (people, officials etc) reaction to political affairs etc are done fairly poor. I do
...
understand what kind of manga this is, and I understand that it is bound to dwell more into interpersonal relationships and drama, but politics are integral part of it (manga starts with politics) so I think author should've handled this one better. For example the manga starts with coup, one character kills the king, Yona isn't the heir (but she is?), her husband is supposedly next king (well what kind of succession is that), she is chased from castle, the usurper proclaims himself a new king, gets coronated really fast, and you know what? No one gives a damn. Is it so easy to usurp the throne in this country? Beside all that, usurper (if succession was a common primogeniture) was supposed to be the next heir in the first place, since apparently succession isn't absolute primogeniture since Yona isn't heir (but still maybe she is?).
I also do not like character development of certain characters. Main character kind of start getting some major development, which then starts to diminish and author kind of neglects it for the sake of some other things. While on the other hand, some characters get some, let's call it 'undeserved' and 'unrealistic' development because of the way story is build up (which has some major flaws. I do not like the way author handles intepersonal stuff. Especially since latest chapter when Yona comes back to her home and is seeing her father's murderer always, but author makes it way too sympathetic toward the murdered to the point you can't help but feel bad for the whole plot up until latest arc. Main love is also too cringy even for teenage characters. Author builds their relationship in every other chapter, but doesn't build it at the same time, and kind of puts it on hold just to make people wait for them to start getting some "free time" again.
Beside that, I think that storytelling is also fairly mediocre. Story is interesting in beginning, and all the way to the a bit more than half of the manga, but then starts lacking. One of the reasons are repeatable situations in which main characters get themselves into. After that, actions of main characters later on kind of do not make sense, especially since the start of the latest arc. Author relies too much on interpersonal feeling, relationships, dram etc rather than making sense in many other essential parts of the whole plot. Author creates some mysterious things from past and makes people wait for their revelations, and also makes some interpersonal stuff that makes people wait for next chapters, but fails to make sense in other plot stuff (many other plot stuff).
It was hard to explain this without spoiling too much but I kind of tried. It would've been easier and you would understand my points better if I spoiled some more stuff, but whatever. In general, story can be enjoyable if you're mostly interested in interpersonal feelings, drama, relationships between characters etc and not care all that much if author makes sense of certain aspects of plot.
