    Admittedly mediocre

    While this show really isn't at all original, I have to say that it does have some redeeming qualities.

    The art is simplistic, though aesthetically pleasing, and the animation is very stiff and restrained. However, the voice acting is actually really good. With better visuals to go with the voices, this could've been a lot more entertaining. It's kind of disappointing considering how expressive some of the voices are when the visuals are barely changing.

    The story, while overall somewhat bland, is actually somewhat refreshing in some ways. Yes, the protagonist is overpowered, but he's nowhere near as stupid as some of the protagonists you get in these types of shows. He actually confesses his feelings for the girl and it happens before the final episode.

    Another good thing is that the villain is well-written. He's not the greatest villain ever, but he's decent.

    Also, the action is surprisingly well-choreographed. The only problem with it is that there's no sense of danger or tension due to how over-powered Shin (the protagonist) is. The music does not help at all with this.

    Overall, I'd only recommend this show if you're isekai trash like me.

    Amazing!

    If you're a fan of reincarnation anime you'll love this! The animation style is beautiful, the dubbing is done well, the magic is awesome, (the story isn't the most original so far but it's by no means a copy cat story,) it's funny, it has the typical cute girls, nice guys, arrogant bullies, supportive relatives and skilled mentors that I love seeing, and it's an overall joy to watch. You immediately find yourself falling in love with the main character and wanting to see him grow throughout his journeys. I'll be counting down the days until each new episode airs!

    One of my new favorites!

    I hope they keep this going. This one has been great!

    • Trivia
      The main joke of the series is everyone saying Shin lacks common sense. However, he actually doesn't. He applies the common sense of Earth to his new life, which obviously doesn't fit with everything else.
