Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki
(2023)

A Fun but Flawed Isekai Anime with a Twist
The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World is an anime adaptation of a light novel series by Shuichi Tsukishima. It tells the story of Haruyoshi Kuga, a powerful onmyouji (a practitioner of divination, magic, and exorcism) who was betrayed and killed by his former comrades. He used his last breath to cast a reincarnation spell, hoping to find happiness in another world. He was reborn as Seika Lamprogue, the son of a noble family in a world where magic is common. However, he still retained his memories and abilities from his previous life, which surpassed the magic of this world. He enrolled in a prestigious academy for mages, where he met various friends and foes, and also discovered that he was the hero prophesied to save the world from the Demon King.

The anime is a typical isekai (another world) fantasy with some elements of Japanese folklore and culture. It has a lot of action, comedy, romance, and fanservice scenes. The animation quality is decent, but not outstanding. The voice acting is good, especially for the main character, who is voiced by Yuki Kaji, a popular voice actor who also voiced Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan and Meliodas in The Seven Deadly Sins. The music is catchy and fits the mood of the show.

The anime has received mixed reviews from critics and viewers. Some praised it for its fun and entertaining plot, its likable and charismatic protagonist, and its creative use of onmyou art (a form of Japanese occultism) in a fantasy setting. Others criticized it for being too generic, clichéd, predictable, and shallow. Some also complained about the excessive fanservice, the lack of character development, and the poor pacing.

If you are looking for a light-hearted and enjoyable isekai anime with some unique twists, you might like The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World. However, if you are looking for a deep and original story with complex characters and themes, you might be disappointed by this anime.

Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito
(2023)

An Average Isekai Harem Anime: Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World Falls into Familiar Tropes and Lacks Originality
Summary This anime is based on a light novel series of the same name, which translates to "Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World: The Apostle of the Gods Who Know No Self-Restraint". It tells the story of Kazuya Shiina, a young man who dies in his original world after saving two girls from a robber. He is reincarnated as Cain von Silford, the third son of a noble family in a fantasy world. There, he meets the seven gods who rule over the world and grant him their divine protections, giving him cheat-like abilities in various fields. With his new powers and memories, Cain decides to enjoy his second life to the fullest, while also getting involved in various adventures and romances.

Opinion This anime belongs to the isekai genre, which is a popular trend in anime and manga that features protagonists who are transported to another world, usually with some special abilities or advantages. However, this anime does not offer anything new or innovative to the genre, and instead follows a formulaic and predictable plot that mostly revolves around Cain's daily life as he explores the world, meets new people, and fights against enemies. The anime does not have a clear goal or direction, and it seems to be more focused on showing off Cain's powers and harem than developing a coherent and engaging story. The animation quality is decent, but not outstanding, and it does not stand out among other isekai anime. The character designs are generic and bland, and they do not have much personality or depth. The voice acting is acceptable, but not memorable, and it does not convey much emotion or expression.

The main appeal of this anime is probably the harem aspect, which involves Cain attracting the attention of various beautiful women, both human and non-human. The anime has some ecchi scenes and fanservice, but nothing too explicit or vulgar. However, these scenes are not very creative or exciting, and they often rely on clichés and tropes that are common in harem anime. The characters are mostly one-dimensional and stereotypical, such as the tsundere princess, the loyal maid, the shy elf, etc. They do not have much development or growth, and they do not have any meaningful interactions or relationships with Cain or each other. The comedy is mostly based on misunderstandings, slapstick, and innuendos, but it is not very funny or original, and it often feels forced or repetitive.

Overall, I would rate this anime 7 out of 10. It is not a bad anime, but it is not very impressive or original either. It is a typical isekai harem anime that caters to a specific audience who enjoys this kind of genre. It does not have much substance or depth, and it does not challenge or surprise the viewer in any way. It is a light-hearted and fun anime that can be enjoyed as a casual watch, but it is not something that will leave a lasting impression or make you want to watch more. If you are looking for something more serious or deep, you might want to skip this one. But if you are looking for something easy and entertaining, you might enjoy this one.

(2017)

Why You Should Watch No Game No Life: Zero - A Prequel That Surpasses the Original Anime Series
No Game No Life: Zero is a movie that serves as a prequel to the No Game No Life anime series. Released in 2017, it tells the story of the past, giving the audience insight into how the world of Disboard came to be, and how the great war between the races destroyed the world. The movie has a different tone compared to the anime series, as it is darker and more serious in nature. However, it still retains the same charm and wit that made the anime series so popular. In this review, I will be discussing the movie in detail, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses.

The movie begins by introducing us to Riku Dola, the leader of the human race in Disboard. Riku is shown to be a determined and intelligent young man, who wants to save his race from the brink of extinction. He believes that the key to survival lies in discovering the secrets of the world, which are guarded by the old gods. Riku's journey takes him to the library of the gods, where he meets Schwi, an Ex-Machina, who is also on a quest for knowledge.

Schwi is a unique character in the No Game No Life universe, as she is the only Ex-Machina who possesses emotions. She is curious about the human race and wants to learn more about them. Schwi and Riku form an unlikely bond, as they work together to unravel the mysteries of the world. Their relationship is one of the highlights of the movie, as it shows how two individuals from different races can work together to achieve a common goal.

The movie's plot revolves around the great war that took place in Disboard 6000 years ago. The war was fought between the different races, who were vying for control of the world. The movie shows how the war came to be, and how it ultimately led to the downfall of the world. The war is depicted in a very realistic and brutal manner, which highlights the true horrors of war. The movie does not shy away from showing the death and destruction that the war caused, which adds to the overall realism of the movie.

The animation in the movie is stunning, and it is one of the movie's biggest strengths. The attention to detail is impressive, and the movie is a visual treat. The colors are vibrant and add to the overall atmosphere of the movie. The action scenes are well choreographed, and they are a joy to watch. The animation style used in the movie is different from the anime series, as it is more realistic and less vibrant. However, it still retains the same charm and whimsy that the anime series is known for.

The movie's soundtrack is also noteworthy, as it adds to the overall atmosphere of the movie. The music is epic and emotional, and it perfectly captures the tone of the movie. The voice acting is also impressive, with the voice actors bringing their characters to life.

One of the movie's weaknesses is its pacing. The movie is slow in parts, and it takes some time for the plot to pick up. The movie is also quite dark, which may not appeal to some viewers who prefer the lighter tone of the anime series. However, the darker tone is necessary for the movie's plot, and it adds to the overall atmosphere of the movie.

Another weakness of the movie is its lack of character development. While Riku and Schwi are well-developed characters, the other characters are not given enough screen time to develop fully. This is particularly true for the other races, who are only given a brief introduction before they are thrust into the war. The lack of character development may make it difficult for viewers to connect with the characters on an emotional level.

In conclusion, No Game No Life: Zero is a must-watch for fans of the anime.

Isekai de Cheat Skill wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Genjitsu Sekai wo mo Musou Suru: Level Up wa Jinsei wo Kaeta
(2023)

Story of a boy who has been mistreated and neglected by everyone
Summary: The anime is based on a light novel series by Miku. It tells the story of Yuuya Tenjou, a boy who has been mistreated and neglected by everyone in his life. One day, he discovers a hidden door in his bathroom that leads to an abandoned house in another world. There, he gains game-like stats and skills, as well as access to powerful weapons and items left by a sage. He decides to use his cheat skills to improve his life in both worlds, becoming unrivaled and unstoppable.

Review: The anime "Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito" presents a familiar isekai (another world) fantasy premise with elements of school life and comedy. The series follows the journey of Yuuya Tenjou, who faces mistreatment and neglect in his ordinary life. However, his fortunes change when he discovers a hidden door leading to an abandoned house in another world. With newfound powers and access to potent weapons and items, Yuuya decides to use his cheat skills to elevate his standing in both realms, becoming an unparalleled force.

While the anime adheres to many established tropes and conventions of the genre, it falls short in terms of originality and complexity. The plot lacks depth and originality, and the characters tend to be clichéd and one-dimensional. The animation quality is decent, but it fails to leave a lasting impression, and the musical score doesn't stand out.

The primary appeal of this anime lies in its wish-fulfillment aspect, showcasing Yuuya overcoming his hardships and adversaries with his cheat abilities. Additionally, the protagonist garners the attention of several attractive female characters, both in the real world and the other world, leading to harem and romance scenarios. The anime often employs self-referential humor, satirizing its own tropes and genre conventions. While some jokes land well and provide amusement, others become repetitive and predictable over time.

It's important to note that this anime doesn't strive to be a masterpiece or offer profound exploration of its themes. Instead, it focuses on delivering a light-hearted and entertaining experience for fans of isekai and harem genres. While it may lack originality, it does provide a fun and satisfying fantasy adventure with a cheat skill protagonist.

One major drawback of the anime is the lack of character development and depth. Yuuya falls into the typical isekai protagonist archetype, being overpowered and flawless without significant growth or personality. He lacks complexity and is primarily defined by his kindness. Similarly, the supporting characters are mostly one-dimensional and stereotypical, serving as mere admirers of Yuuya and part of his harem, lacking compelling backstories or motivations.

However, the anime does deviate slightly from the norm by showcasing Yuuya's use of cheat skills not only in the other world but also in the real world. This leads to him acquiring wealth and fame in both realms, with the ability to freely travel between them.

Rating: Considering its strengths and weaknesses, I would rate "Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito" a 6 out of 10. While it may not be exceptional, it still offers an enjoyable experience within the isekai and harem genres. Viewers seeking originality or depth may be disappointed, but those looking for a lighthearted fantasy adventure can find entertainment value in this anime.

Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu
(2021)

Giving His Best When Transferred to Another World
Summary: This anime is based on a light novel series of the same name, which translates to "Jobless Reincarnation: Giving His Best When Transferred to Another World". It tells the story of a 34-year-old NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) who dies after saving some people from a truck accident. He is reincarnated as Rudeus Greyrat, a baby boy in a fantasy world. There, he retains his memories and knowledge from his previous life, and decides to live his new life without regrets. He learns magic from a tutor named Roxy Migurdia, swordsmanship from his father Paul Greyrat, and befriends a girl named Sylphiette. He also meets the seven gods who rule over the world and grant him their blessings, giving him extraordinary potential in magic. As he grows up, he faces various challenges and adventures, while also developing relationships with different women.

Opinion: I think this anime is one of the best isekai anime I have ever seen. It has a well-written story that spans multiple arcs and genres, such as comedy, drama, action, romance, and fantasy. The animation quality is superb, with fluid movements and detailed backgrounds. The character designs are also appealing and distinctive. The voice acting is excellent, with each actor fitting their role perfectly. The music is also fitting and catchy, especially the opening and ending themes.

The main strength of this anime is its character development. Rudeus is not a typical isekai protagonist who is overpowered and flawless. He has his own flaws and weaknesses, such as his perverted tendencies, his trauma from his previous life, and his fear of failure. He also makes mistakes and faces consequences for them. However, he also learns from his experiences and tries to improve himself. He is not afraid to admit his faults and apologize for them. He is also loyal to his friends and family, and willing to help others in need. He is a realistic and relatable character who grows throughout the story.

The other characters are also well-developed and interesting. They have their own personalities, backgrounds, motivations, and goals. They are not just there to support Rudeus or be part of his harem. They have their own arcs and conflicts that affect the plot and Rudeus' growth. Some of them are Roxy, a shy but talented mage who becomes Rudeus' mentor and friend; Sylphiette, a kind-hearted girl who can manipulate wind magic and becomes Rudeus' first love; Eris Boreas Greyrat, a hot-headed but brave girl who becomes Rudeus' student and later lover; Ruijerd Supardia, a noble but misunderstood warrior of the Superd race who becomes Rudeus' ally; Ghislaine Dedoldia, a powerful but gentle swordswoman who becomes Rudeus' bodyguard; Norn Greyrat and Aisha Greyrat, Rudeus' half-sisters who have different personalities and relationships with him; Zenith Greyrat and Lilia Greyrat, Rudeus' mother and maid who both love him dearly; Paul Greyrat, Rudeus' father who is a skilled but irresponsible swordsman; Elinalise Dragonroad, a beautiful but eccentric mage who becomes Rudeus' friend; Talhand, Geese Nukadia, Pax Shirone, Man-God, etc.

The anime also explores various themes such as reincarnation, destiny, free will, morality, family, friendship, love, loyalty, betrayal, revenge, forgiveness, courage, fear, etc. It shows how Rudeus' actions affect the world around him and how the world affects him back. It also shows how different cultures and races interact with each other in this fantasy world. It has a rich lore and world-building that makes the story immersive and engaging.

Overall, I would rate this anime 8 out of 10. It is an amazing anime that deserves more recognition and praise. It is not just another generic or clichéd isekai anime that follows the same formula or tropes. It is an original and creative anime that has its own identity and charm. It is an anime that can make you laugh, cry, cheer, or feel any other emotion. It is an anime that can make you think about life and its meaning. It is an anime that can make you enjoy watching it from start to finish.
