I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too

This was probably the 5th or 7th Isekai anime I saw within this month. Honestly, I first dropped it after just 5 episodes, as it felt very predictable; for the umpteenth time, an unhandsome protagonist suddenly becomes the strongest overpowered hero.

I do admit that the first episode was quite interesting and fun to watch. The anime does take a little different approach: unlike most Isekai stories that have a protagonist stuck in a bizarre magical world, this one actually has a door through which the MC can move freely between both worlds.

By the end, the anime seamlessly sets up an interesting plot that hints at an exciting second season that I am looking forward to watching.

I'd give it a rating of 6 out of 10, which is fair - neither bad nor spectacular.

I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too is an anime with a long title. I thought it was a decent isekai, as I always enjoy the ones that make the protagonist overpowered. I do think there were a couple dead episodes spread throughout, but most of them held my interest. A couple things bothered me that may or may not bother you as well. During the fantasy scenes, the protagonist is often shown as a 3D render rather than in 2D. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is noticeable and it happens often. The other thing is how the protagonist transforms from overweight and "ugly" to shredded and beautiful when he gets his powers. I'm torn on this decision because of how you chose to look at it. On one hand, maybe the character hated his physical appearance and wanted to be as commercially attractive as possible, only concerned with keeping his personality in tact. On the other hand, the show makes it seem like in order to be perfect, you wouldn't be overweight and you need good looks, not just a good personality. Something about it was just off to me from the beginning, as I thought the decision messed with the potential message of the premise. Overall an enjoyable isekai, but it wouldn't be at the top of my recommended list.

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.

The story lacks focus, and the main character is too overpowered. There is no challenge or struggle for his growth as a character. The first episode had many potential directions for the plot, but by episode 7 it becomes boring because every episode is similar, and the main character does not spend much time in the other world. The action scenes in the real world and his school life are pointless and dull. I was expecting more from this story, but it disappointed me.

I also noticed that all the girls he meets follow a similar pattern, which makes the anime feels fake. I hope the anime develops a more solid story, but at this rate, it will take at least another season to fix this mess.

Update: After watching solo leveling, I can say "I have watched this anime if it could've been a 10 star"

I like this anime a lot because it's different from other Isekai that he can move from earth to another world very easy in the morning at the academy and after noon in anothet world .I love the character yuua he is kind ,shy and love to help others but because of his looking no one accept him nor his family neither the school and don't care or respect him ,he was bullied and that really is sad .But when he helped Kaori his life has changed because of her and her kindness and respect for him she didn't care about his looking that he is fat no she cares about his kindness and that he was beaten because of her for that she looked for him and his new life began. I hope this anime doesn't go like others with Hareem i hope it will be only one for him and stay beside him and keep his secret and i hope its Kaori because she accepted him in his old looking not like other girls they know him after he has changed and become handsome if they knee him before no one will talk to him not like kaori she is really the best one and i hope the story will continue great Thanks for making this anime and for the Author Miku.
