Great show so far

[ceojonathanmontgomery · 8/10 · 22 October 2023]

Hello fellow humans,

My first impression on S1E1. I have watched a ton of anime and I am history buff and I am up with all news and technology. Lots of anime are based on our human society as it is today. What I mean is almost all animes have humans as we are now. What makes up our society? Well humans can be loving, kind, compassionate, caring and good people. However from what knowledge I have gathered humans are hateful, greedy, classes, unfair, take what they want and more, we don't help the masses, we are a waring creature who almost seems to enjoy killing each other and anything we deem less than.

This show is another example of that. After the main first scene he goes back in time. Immediately you are confronted with classism. Like our modern society if you're rich you are handed things and given a better education and life. If you're poor you get even with talent scraps. For example he is an amazing mage yet because he is of commoner blood he can at best go to beta class. Meaning he will never get the best education even if he would be humanities best hope.

Humans love to fight each other over the dumbest reasons. For example resources and religion are the two reasons throughout history all wars have been fought. If you don't believe me just look at history. Religion breads hatred which you see in many wars. Taking resources instead of sharing is also a big reason war happens. For us modern people oil has the been the main reason for war. Religion has also been a reason we go to war in modern warfare as well. Look at the hate towards Muslims by Christians and visa versa. It is disgusting. Also we have enough food to feed the world if we wanted but we prefer to have a society of haves and have nots. We will never advance as a society if we stay this way.

This brings me to my other thought on anime. Humans can never work together unless their is a big bad and even that doesn't bring humans together all that much. You still have money and capitalism which corrupts people. But at least if we had say shadow dimensions to fight we would have to work together a lot more. Countries would have to set aside their petty differences and fight a common foe. Otherwise we will be wiped out. Which to be honest I would give us less than a 30% chance of survival because I don't see humans working together as one ever. We have to many biases and to much hatred.

Anime is not just cartoons. They are versions of ourselves and how we act. Yes they are fun to watch but if you watch enough of them you will see a pattern. Anime is a reflection on ourselves. This show is no different. It is a society based on classism and hate. Just like today's society is based on. Because you can totally pick where you are born and who your parents are. Oh wait you can't do that. Everyone should have the same education and opportunities as anyone else. Money should never be a factor over talent. Not getting enough food, clothes, etc should never be what holds someone back.

So in this show we will see if these humans can change. If fighting again because he went back in time. If that will help him make different decisions to help the future of mankind. A rare chance to make things better. But let's be honest you would not believe someone if they came to you and said I am from 20 years in the future. We need to change this and that or we will all die. I am sure like 99% of humans you would say that person is on drugs or something. So this main character is on an up hill battle. We will see as the show goes forward if he can truly change things or if he is on a time loop.

Side note. Be kind to others. Especially those who are different then you. Remember you could have just as easily been in that person's shoes if you where born to his/her family. Remember we all bleed red and breathe oxygen. So be kind to your fellow humans.

Perfect storyline. Animation could have been better.

I gave 8 because of the storyline. I am a manhwa reader so i know how it goes. But I don't like I the animation slacks. And the 1st season seems too slow paced. Voice acting is great and all but the only problem I have witnessed is that of the animation - It sucks. I would like to watch more of it. Just give me better animations on this. The way it started and has continued is definitely how the manhwa is but still at times it lacks and takes too much time on one scene. Then there's continuity error in fight scenes. And it feels choppy and lagging. Too much of 3d stuff was used where 2d animation would look much better like spells and all. Please take a look at that too.

Inconsistent quality, and at most times disappointing

[poloio · 6/10 · 8 January 2024]

The first episode displays how good this anime can be at times. Amazing sound design and good visuals, interesting power levels... But it falls in quality very quickly.

Not only the technical aspects are lacking most of the time, character development feels rushed and shallow. The harem dynamic of the main trio puts me off the story at times, not allowing me to take in the interesting world the story takes part in. Even the "returned" aspect of the MC is almost gone after a few flashbacks of dead comrades, badly executed for a mechanic that's mentioned in the title.

On the other hand, the setting is interesting and the world is close to credible. The pacing is good (except some episodes) and overall it's still enjoyable. If you allow yourself to overlook the forced and corny harem dynamic (or if you like it) it's not a bad watch at all.

It's not the worst of the year and certainly not a bad way to pass time, but I find it very overrated. It's okay to like mediocre anime, but it's healthy to also know when it is, in fact, mediocre.

An anime with one of the best story line

[shreehari-51919 · 10/10 · 9 October 2023]

An anime based on the famous manwa, the manwa was really good and looking at how the first episode was animated and the voice actors things are looking up for the anime I really hope this anime catches the eye of people and they start watching it. And I guarantee ull be hooked from the 1st episode itself. It's a story of how the MC is a commoner but saves the world in the future and gets regressed to back when he enrolled in the academy and where he strives to correct his mistakes and save the people who cherished the most but couldn't save, it's a story filled with plot twists and epic story line so everyone do give it a watch.

P.s The current arc in the manhua is freaking epic can't wait for it to be animated.

Anime is so good

It is strongly recommended

It had such a beautiful and engrossing story line that I couldn't put it down and watched the entire episodes in a few hours.

The story did not progress much and we saw few events in the entire season, but it was still very enjoyable to watch this anime

The characters have very attractive personalities and you could communicate with them.

Not an Isekai, with a Silly not serious MC, and a girly boy

[shuvongkor · 1/10 · 23 February 2024]

At first episode, the anime felt interesting like it's gonna be an Isekai, Fantasy, Adventure like anime. But it's not Isekai. And for some reason I felt boring. Most of the episode felt needless. If you just watch the first and the last episode, it would save you a lot of time and you would not miss anything important. The MC in this anime is not likeable at all, well at least to me. I think the girly boy in the MC's team was the most boring part. The writer made a girly boy who sounds like girl with a weak physical body a swordsman, not sure what's that about. It felt so boring to me. Previously I thought character design and personality does not matter if the story is good enough. But now I know. Silly character design can a make a good story silly and boring. The story did not felt good. It would have been if the MC was really serious. But he acts silly, with his silly team.
