If you watched the first part of the show, the story has the usual tropes that happen in an Isekai, but it doesn't make the show entirely bad. It is well-executed, and overall I have no complaints besides the really fast pacing. Everything is easy to consume and understand satisfying my guilty pleasure. The MC gets reincarnated starting as a baby retaining the memories in his previous life. The MC turns out to be a child genius, and a loli magic instructor steps in to teach him. The MC then surpasses his instructor. And will leave home soon to accomplish his mission. In this case, Lugh's mission is to kill the hero using the highest stats a human can theoretically have given by the Goddess. Lugh then meets other girls along the way who will help him.
The best thing here is the MC personality, Lugh, in his previous life, was not an overweight perverted NEET from his 30s. So you won't see the MC glorifying panties nor having sexual fantasies with his cousin. Lugh was a former elderly man working for an assassin organization and is known as the world's greatest assassin. If you put a guy like that in a different world, we get to have a manipulative, calm and collected MC who naturally attracts women around him. He doesn't feel a thing or two with feeling the sensation of his beautiful mother's boobies as she hugs him, nor sleeping together with a loli instructor. He has the humans are tools vibe. He is the perfect MC suited for the assassination plot.
I would like to praise the magic system as well. There are five ranks for skills: S, A, B, C, and D. And six attributes: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Dark, and Light. There is a variety of skills, and they make use of both weapons and magic spells when fighting. MC has a skill for each rank and has the four basic attributes, making him overwhelmingly strong. But what I love here is the clever use of Lugh with his skills which is not limited to battle. Especially with spell weaver, which allows him to create new spells. He can create new spells by changing parts of the incantations. And he also applies his knowledge from his previous world, like creating new inventions which are very fun to watch.
The visuals are amazing, and the opening song "Dark seeks light" with a black-white theme is very catchy and is such a banger! I keep playing the opening song in a loop for hours, and I kept re-watching the third episode, which is my favorite, and it still won't be enough to satisfy me. Yes, the show can be seen as generic. But is the show bad? Definitely Not. There are many questions that need to be answered. And it makes you want to watch more of the show. So if you love this kind of uniqueness and overpowered stuff, a badass mc, with a pretty decent story, then I recommend watching World's Finest Assassin! It is one of the promising Isekai shows out there.
