This is so far from the sauce material that they may as well have just made it a different story altogether with different characters etc.
Everything great about the manga has been removed and replaced with the generic c**p that almost every 3rd rate anime is spewing out. The main characters personallity is the complete opposite, and is now the usual bland MC, the other characters around him have all been reworked into shallow tropes, apart from Evi who is the one and only thing I kind of enjoyed about this series so far.

Watch it if you are bored and need some generic mindlessness but ... if you know anything about the original story (and you liked the original), avoid like the plague or prepare for dissapointment.

Ahhh such a shame. I'm sure people who haven't read the manhwa (Korean version of manga) you may be tired of the people who have crying about it not living up to, or missing large parts of the original story.

Well I wont discuss the missing story, that has been covered by others, plus I don't think its all too bad. However my reason for giving this anime adaptation such a low score is the very poor way it showed the fundamental events which it did include. This was especially apparent in the final few episodes. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

The final few episodes covered the event ... which was meant to show Raskreia receiving some much needed guidance (even though she is not aware in the beginning) from Gejutel and then Raizel himself. This whole event was wrecked by the anime which means that one of the first defining moments in the Noblesse story was wrecked. The Gejutel's 'tough love' from the manhwa was turned into a simple 'I failed to educate you' let-down of a speech. Rai's iconic blood field back and forth with Raskreia was turned into a bulls**t lackluster fight scene between him, the Lord and the elders. Rai then almost faints (WTF!!!) he bleeds from the eyes and mouth which tugs at our heart strings but my boy stands strong and doesn't faint!!!! And then the previous Lord explaining why we made the offer he did to Raizel (not gonna say what as I'm really trying to be as spoiler light as I can) so that Raskreia can understand her fathers true wish for her, where the f*** was that whole scene?! poof gone. This also has the unfortunate effect of making the characters involved feel much shallower, crybaby Raskreia now, great. There were many other scenes I could pick apart in much the same way (like the Frankenstein and Rajak fight and appearance in the sanctuary) but I'll leave it. What I've written should hopefully be enough to explain my viewpoint.

So to those who haven't read the Manhwa and have enjoyed your introduction into the Noblesse world through this anime, if you enjoyed it then thats fantastic, truly. I would say that if you ever get the chance to read even just the sanctuary scene in the manhwa, you should! It will give you a much better look at the Rai/Previous Lord/Raskreia dynamic. Even if your not a big manhwa reader, if your loving this story, you owe it to yourself to at least read up this scene as it should have been.

So far I have watched the first 2 episodes of this OVA, so this review is based purely on what I've seen so far.

Having been a HUGE fan of the main story I was very excited to start watching this OVA. The episodes are self contained mini stories which focus a lot more on the characters surrounding Yukihira, and less on the main man himself.

I found the artwork in these OVA's to be less clean than in the main story, and the episodes felt very much like fillers. However they are still very entertaining and do a good job of showing the viewer a ... side of the characters outside of the usual 'cook or be cooked' Totsuki lifestyle.

You can expect food to still play a large role in each episode but they also focus more other recreational interests (like a trip to the pool/lake).

Overall the episodes don't quite measure up against their counterparts in the main story, but they still provide good entertainment and I'd recommend them to anyone who enjoyed Shokugeki no Souma.

If you enjoyed the main story, Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to The Animation, then you'll enjoy this. It has very much the same feel as the main series, its full of lighthearted humor, funny characters but not much of a story.

The OVA does focus a bit more on the other main characters besides Aito, such as Ashisu, and we see a bit more of the editor in chief Matome. The episodes are only 6-12 minutes long and there is no story line that lasts more than a single episode.

Despite not having much of a story this OVA still had me laughing many times in the ... space of a single episode. I would highly recommend this OVA and its main story for anyone looking for a short anime with plenty of laughs.

Personally I found this to be a very refreshing series to watch. Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari is a fantasy, action harem which manages to blend all of these genres together into an outstanding anime.

I enjoyed the fact that unlike most harem anime's out there, the main character has many skills and a personality to deserve the favorable attention he is given. The anime doesn't have accidental groping at every turn, and the story is not riddled with 'awkward teenager syndrome', by which I mean the interaction between Kenshi and the various women is not full of blushes, misunderstandings and enough innuendo to make most ... people irritated.

It is a spin-off the Tenchi Muyo series however it is a completely watchable series even if you have had no exposure to the rest of the franchise (I hadn't when I first watched it).
