The most interesting thing about this show is Nishino from the first episode, and she isn't even in the rest of the show. Our actual protagonist is only interesting by using Nishino to draw parallels - and that goes immediately. Kagenou is your run-of-the-mill black-haired cool anime protagonist who just gets what he wants and solves everything because he's cool. It's not because he's talented, or has trained, or has unlocked the powers he wants - it's because he's the main protagonist. This show tries to disguise this fact with monologues and exposition, but in reality it's all a cover-up.
This show is a poor deception of tropes, and not a clever set of them either.
Rating 4, and only that high because it's lacklaster. Didn't even have the creativity to be bad, just boring.
UPDATE: Upon watching further, I now realise what this anime actually is. Episode one somewhat tricked me as a first time watcher and everything I said above stands. However, if you want a fairly good ironic trope isekai to watch, this anime works. It has fairly good humour and a likeable cast. There are parts that feel odd, and some episode I think can be skipped altogether, but ultimately not bad.
