Has anyone checked this one out? Any thoughts?
I’m a few episodes in and I like the premise but I’m not sure on the execution yet. Seems like it could almost be awesome but falls a bit short.
I can’t quite put my finger on why that is though.
I’m liking it so far, there aren’t a lot of reverse isekais.
So true. I actually like the reverse isekai. I honestly thought from when I first put it on it was going to go the route of him being reborn into the same world. And I thought it was going to be the Calamity killer or whatever his name is. Not who the MC ended up being. So I enjoy that things took a different turn.
I love it! It feels like a Checkov’s minigun firing smaller Checkov’s pistols.
I don’t know how it all ties together yet but I’m excited to find out. I’m guessing the reason you feel like something’s off is probably because there are multiple disconnected threads that don’t cleanly fit together, and that makes it seem a bit… scattered?
Durarara also gave me the same vibe (it’s by the same author) since it also started seemingly scattered and then each plot thread collided in the latter half of the season.
I made a couple of posts about it here as well. Hopefully there will be more active discussion threads for future episodes.
I’m liking it, it’s very interesting.
All Narita works take some time to click because of the big casts, but when you are familiar with the characters and their motivations it really starts going.
I’m liking it way more than I thought I would. Partially because it kinda feels like an anime that would’ve come out in the early 2010s. Don’t know why it feels that way, but it does. Also the OP and ED slap
Had high hopes for it before it began airing, but gave up yesterday after ep 10.
I love the visuals so much, the art, character designs, overall aesthetic, etc, is awesome, but… Narita really isn’t my kind of writer. I don’t care for the characters, the main plot seems kinda like it was forgotten about by ep 2 in favor of all kinds of side stories, humor feels awkward and forced, everything feels really chaotic and hard to follow, and nothing ever really seems to happen.
I see. I’m only on episode 8 because I’m a filthy dub watcher, but I kind of see what you’re talking about. It picked up for me after episode 4. I kind of like that it hasn’t been completely predictable, but at the same time it does seem like it needs a little more polish and cohesion to the plot.
