Story 6 | Art 10 | Sound 10 | Character 7 | Enjoyment 7 | Overall: 8
So Hai to Gensou might have the best animation, ost, ending and opening I've heard in anime, and had me expecting more from it, since episode 1, it was cliched but promisng, what fails with this anime is the pacing. Even though I'm a fan of well build up characters, and slow pacing shows helps them do this very well, just like FMA Brotherhood.
The slow pacing in this anime didn't help either in the story nor the character development, even the character interactions were slow? like the conversations between them feel like they took ages, to get through.
Art and Sound: 10/10
I won't review the Art or the Sound in this anime, since for me they were beyond perfect, and it was something that make me go through this series.
Characters: 7/10
The characters were kind of realistic, not MC who is OP in every situation, but we got cliched characters like the shy girl who can't pronounce a word, the one who is very energetic and we all love, but we know she is not going to win, and the mysterious girl who starts to opens, so nothing too entertaining and for the male cast we have the bulky guy who is sweet on the inside, and the MC rival who is sometimes annoying.
Enjoyment: 7/10
The enjoyment for this series was good, it had a lot of promise and I might start reading the novel just to see if it was just a bad adaptation as a lot of people say, since they all are saying that we got development in the light novel, even though its not perfect I would like a second season tho, it was good and promising and kind of a different isekai anime, not just your boring isekai anime of every season, but unfortunately the slow pacing killed it, I hope they can improve this feature if they do make season 2.
So what this, if you are looking for a good animation, amazing ost, ending, op and a kind of premising story, and to see how slow pacing can kill a promising anime
