Animation is good, and most importantly seems to follow the books faithfully to the main beats unlike some other animes we could name... Only issue I see is there is no mention of multiple seasons and to date trakt only lists 12 episodes, which will barely [spoiler] get to the point where whatsher face the one haruto was in love with appears from **his** past, think it was something like 5-6 years before he died they went missing including his half sister and half brother... We **MIGHT** be able to see the 3rd person from the bus crash, [/spoiler] but at the speed of this adaptation 12 episodes will likely not be enough to reach that point, they'll have to start cutting chunks of the novel out and speed it up ruining the quality of the anime, or it will stay with the same pacing and hopefully the episode count will be more than 12.... Pretty please?

As far as I know the novel series is still on going and as we know anime is a book advert, so hopefully it will do it's job enough to get a series 2. Otherwise like most anime based on a novel, this is likely best to avoid unless you enjoy being teased without a satisfying end.

If you wanna read the books, hit up JNovelClub they have the licence to officially translate, and have translated 16 volumes of the book series already, these 12 episodes should cover the first 3ish volumes.

I’d like to believe that I’ve watched quite a lot of titles since I started my anime journey back in 2017. The problem or advantage with this is that you can easily recognise patterns in shows, you can easily tell which direction the show is going to take. And for most shows, you can just tell how generic they are going to be from a mile away.
Although this one hasn’t introduced guilds or adventuring storylines (I’m still on episode 3, about to start episode 4), it follows the same plot lines of ‘I have too much power, but I can’t be arsed so I need to hide’. They tried to hard to downplay the main characters accomplishments any time he did something.

It kind of gets boring at this point because you can never feel happy for him. And despite everyone everyone else watching him grow for 5 years I think, they still doubt him. They never change their outlook on him. Even when he’s being bullied, no one really looks out for him and they just look away.

In the battle against that huge monster when he had saved the little princess, no one cared that he had sacrificed himself for the princess. Despite she trying to get them to acknowledge that he did something nice. They even end up pinning it on him feeling guilty about making him fall in the first place, when everyone knew he was nowhere near her in the first place.

They tried really hard to make sure him defeating the huge monster would go uncredited, how could they not hear or lose track of a monster you’re running away from that has such a presence. And they only show up when the battle is over, because we can’t have any witnesses witnessing the main character taking out a monster nobody could handle. No one is going to question why it’s suddenly quiet when a minute ago you were running for your lives... all in the bid to just have the plot progress in the direction of the main character being exiled and taking the blame for what was the commanding officers directions.


Anyway watch it if you want a generic show that you’ll be able to guess what the next move is going to be, which I presume from what the previews of episode 4 shows, is going to be assembling our harem because what’s an isekai with a harem.
