1: The MC and why he is not just another Cup of Joe.
Like 95% of all anime series of the Isekai type, the MC dies and is sendt of to a new world. And he becomes OP, gets all the girls and saves the day. The End. BUT WAIT. There is more!
MC hasn't just been killed or died in some comedy sketch accident like in Konosuba, it was a GENUINE MISTAKE done by God himself and as such he does the RIGHT THING and allows the Kid a new life.
- Why not just let him come back to life on earth? -
If you need to ask this question then please. Leave MAL and the Anime community, please. You are exiled. For like, forever.
So as this was Gods fault, he allows MC to come back to life in a new world WHILE GIVING HIM A BOOST. That's right. No "Child of the prophecy" No "The Chosen one" No "It was foretold in the legends" The Kid just gets a boost by God himself since said God MISTAKENLY killed him and want's to make amends because it was a MISTAKE. This of course makes the MC as OP as any other MC, but to see one just GET the powers from the big man in the sky rather than some freakshow of "You need to pass this test of strength" and he / she just does so by a random a**pull - It was a breath of fresh air.
Point is: MC is strong and wins the day for a GENUINE reason thanks to powers handed to him by GOD HIMSELF. No of that usual bulls*** about "The Chosen one just nailing it all since he is the Chosen one" - MC Is strong for a legit reason.
2: All the girls will fall for the MC. (A spoiler from Episode 4 in this section)
Well here's the deal, why would they not. And in this shows case, there is plenty of reason. In many shows the girls just falls for the MC because he is the MC. He does all the work, looks cool and acts like a di*k. That s*** is alpha and therefore all the girls wants him. This show however smacks you over by giving good reasons as to why the girls WOULD like the MC. He is kind, he possesses strong powers which is a MYSTERIOUS case, not just a "Of course he does, he is the Chosen one" and he tries his best to make things better for anyone. Of course you would wan't a person like that. It's basic human thinking unlike just wanting someone since they are Alpha.
But wait, there's more again: MC does not look at all these girls like possible partners, he looks at them like party members who he can get guild work done with, WHICH IS WHAT HE SHOULD DO. Sure sometimes a blush happens here and there but having that happen due to a LEGITIMATE INTEREST sure is better than a bunch of girls just wanting to mount a MC from the distance since he is to good for that s***.
Sure the latest episode 4 had him get "engaged" in some way, but they way it was done, the reasoning behind it AND the rest of his party's reaction as all TENFOLDS better than the usual "Oh by the way my bunch of harem girls, I decided to like number 6 more than the rest in this episode" - causing them all to lose their collective s***.
Point is: All the girls have so far shown affection toward MC for legit reasons, yet they all have yet to try and ride his d*** like so many others does WITHOUT having a reason other than "He's so Alpha / Edgy / MC"
3: The show does not give you any bulls*** YET it has down-sides.
So far the show has been exactly what it needs to be and gives out to be, a middle of the road Isekai popcorn show that I for one find funny. It's not something I would INSTANTLY recommend to anyone due to some of the shows lackluster parts. What I like the least about the show is actually it's animation quality which INSTANTLY turns a lot of people off, and I get that. The shows humor is vert selective and as such, won't appeal to a broad audience, but besides that the show gives you exactly what you would expect and is by that metric worth the "Seasonal watch" in my book.
Overall, I am pretty sure I will finish this show and while I most likely will end up with a score close to 5/10, that is still watchable and better than a deal of other series this season has to offer.
