Hachi-nan tte, Sore wa Nai deshou!

Honestly, I don't understand how anything in this anime relates to reincarnation. Occasionally you see the main character list for food from his homeland...but that's all. I feel like the anime could have been much better if it wasn't rushed and if they just left the part of reincarnation out completely.

Loved the idea of a Isekai with the protagonist who actually had to struggle, however "8th Son" failed to deliver even on that.

Inside the first couple episodes he's blessed with godly powers and by the fourth has the start of his harem which made it clear this was going to be the typical trope filled anime.

Dialog is flat (Sub & Dub), characters are not interesting enough to invest in emotionally, the animation though consistent feels empty and lacking "flair".

The final story arc could have brought something interesting back into a disappointing entry into the Isekai genre, but even that ultimately failed as well.

It's not "bad", just lacking character and boring.

Pros:

• English Dubbing.
• Consistent animation.
• Completed season with closure.

Cons:

• Uninteresting characters.
• Flat Dialog.
• "Empty" feeling animation.
• Predictable and uninspired.

If you were to ask me if it were more than simply watchable? No. I definitely enjoyed the first half of the season, but everything after that just seemed...forced? Predictable? Lazy? All of the above? Yes. It's definitely worth a watch if you're bored and have a few hours to kill though. However, it's definitely not something I'd watch again either.

Boring story, boring characters, boring animation, boring soundtrack, really boring dialogue, boring action and boring everything.

This anime is good to watch if you're trying to fall asleep.

I liked this anime...waiting for next seasons..please continue the anime series
