| Looks like the episode reflected back on the real life counterparts of their characters, especailly for Shigeru and Seika. We got kind of an open ending for more adventure but they dealt with the problem this time. Oddly satisfying for the season finale imo. Seika and Shigeru kinda carried this anime in these past few episodes. |
| So, Shigeru and Seika did meet irl in the past, that was a nice and emotional moment. Overall, I have mixed feelings about the show. The first half of the series was a lot of fun, with plenty of hilarious and inventive comedy, plus interesting tidbits of characterisation sprinkled here and there. The second half, on the other hand, was not really my cup of tea: it was pretty dark, with very little comedy, and plotlines that I did not found especially interesting or exciting. Still, I believe I'll remember the show somewhat fondly thanks to Seika cute/clumsy antics and Shigeru nonsensical overpowered strength haha. |
| No risk ending, overall i think the melodrama kinda ruined this show for me, i was invested in the hero's story his and sister them and Seika but i really couldn't care for the rest, Shigeru being a Jesus figure got old very fast and Karina was a pretty bad villain, so yeah first episode was absolutely hilarious and entertaining but it went downhill from there just like the animation quality ( White Fox wtf?) went from good to okay to pretty bad in this last episode, which was pretty disappointing. So yeah solid 5.5/10 i don't even expect a s2 |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Great finale. As for show itself, it’s average. 5/10 |
| a bit of a copout ending fight, Carina sacrifice two great desires, Shigeru only one, what even happened there still the darkhorse isekai this season 7/10 |
| Shigure is truly the embodiment of "don't judge a book by its cover" and through good deeds he earned good karma enabling him to live a good second life with people he helped before. Yes there is not much epicness in it, but it is filled with wholesomeness. 7.5/10. |
| They didn't leave any hints for a second season, but they showed that Karina survived, which is actually good news, because she can't be considered a villain. Overall, I give it a 9 plus for the emotional component; it's always a plus when the characters evoke emotions. |
| And so we end with learning about Seika and Shigeru's meeting in their original lives and the final battle with Karina. I've often seen series described on here as "better than they had any right to be." Hell, I've almost certainly used it before myself. I'm not sure I'd use it here, but it's close. On the surface this show with its silly and over the top premise seemed like it could be pretty forgettable if not downright awful, but it was better than I expected. I do think there was an over-reliance on special notes and the characters secretly knowing each other in the previous life moving the plot along. By the end it seemed like everyone knew each other and it was hard to keep track of who knew what regarding that. But the whole party had moments, perhaps because of that, and nobody felt like a forgettable waste just thrown in. There was pretty decent humor mixed in as well at times. I loved the gag where Hero Aldean had to scream his name every time it was said. But yeah, not bad at all. 7/10. |

| With no tease or anything giving us the hope for a S2 I wish he would have saved Karina, she is just another victim after all, I liked a lot this show, it was funny and kinda touching, would love a S2. |
| I found it amazing, from start to finish. Specially after the Casino arc. I really hoope it gets a second season (it didn't end with a "poscard" and a "thanks for watching" message, so there's hope 😁) |
| Won't expect a 2nd season, but would love one. Really fun anime. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Won't expect much since White Fox's acquisition, but I'm all in if they're adapting SSS! |
| What a beautiful man and a beautiful ending. I liked karina as an antagonist |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |

| @MeguSae38 The second half also wasn't exactly as enjoyable as the first half, but I thought it was nevertheless a good addition because it gave the show more value than just comedy. Like, there was more to the backstory and friendship of the characters thanks to the second half, which made the overall message seem the more genuine. |

| it was a chill adventure, wouldn't mind s2, loved that Karian lived, maybe she won't try anything funny again |
| Funny and wholesome series, Seika-chan's cuteness and clumsiness carried the series, also Rizu is a very funny character (Maaya Uchida's voice acting is always a safe bet) but I liked all the main characters, Shigeru-san surprisingly is a great MC (mainly thanks to Suwabe Junichi who is a legendary seiyuu), the story is not something so original but it's not boring either, the animation wasn't always on point but basically we can say it was more or less fine. I appreciated also the OP. For me is a solid 7, but I gave it 1 point more because of the good vibes of the show, really wholesome. |
| One of the worst anime ever, just gave it a 1/10 rating. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| well that was a bit anticlimactic lol. still, that was a pretty enjoyable anime. not one of my favorites, but still pretty good. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I write most of my comments as I watch the episodes, so treat them like I'm live tweeting or something lolol~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes you just need to scream into the void. That said, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLEASE GIVE ME FANTASY ANIME RECS!!! I'M PRETTY MUCH OUT ON CRUNCHYROLL AND I'M BORED!!!Streaming services I have: Crunchyroll (this is the main one I use for anime and I've pretty much exhausted my options there), Netflix, Disney+ (including Hulu), Peacock, Paramount+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| The second half of this anime was actually a whole lot better than i anticipated, enough to bump my enjoyement to from 6.5/10 to 8. |
| i still think she was wrong, he sealed off his sexual drive with that condition of pain and losing half his HP by being touched by a female. but he also sealed off another important part of the human condition, vanity. self-image. self-love. body dysmorphism where you constantly degrade your own appearance is a serious mental illness. he took his own dislike of his born appearance to extremes by quantifying his appearance in his reborn appearance. he is now so horrid looking that he is mistaken for a monster instead of a human being. if people don't even recognize him as human till their error is pointed out to them repeatedly... doesn't that make him inhuman in appearance? the exact opposite end of the spectrum from somebody who made their appearance godly, holy, perfect, sublime, supreme, perfect, ultimately attractive to all genders/sexes and sexual/gender orientations? instead of a beautiful god he made himself a disgustingly ugly god right? |
| just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| Seika going for the most benevolent character of all time. |
| I figured that Karina would've changed her mind on attacking Shigeru and his friends once she learned that he was a victim of her sister too but by then she didn't care. Having said that maybe she will have a new take on her situation and instead of going after Shigeru to attack him maybe she will reach out instead since she also survived the fight. Beyond the fight I liked the background on Seika and it was confirmed that she was the girl in the wheelchair being bullied and it was also confirmed that she also met Shigeru in their original world. On that note I think she knows that Shigeru in their current world is the "traveler of the wind" from their original world but for some reason is keeping it to herself. Overall I liked watching this series even though the storyline dragged at times. Also, the animation and character designs were decent but nothing special although some of the fights were well done. Since the ending was left open-ended with Karina surviving and more information discovered on Ordnung Spear I think a season 2 could happen and if it's made I'll watch it. 7/10 |
| First few episodes and last were good, disappointed in the middle. A lot better than rise of the trash hero but probably won't get another season. |
| I think this series had a solid start, but fell apart after the casino arc ended. The conclusion is definitely a bit half baked too though I guess that stems from a likely incomplete adaptation. Overall 7/10 |

@Alfredo-Sauce The only problem is the manga ends with the final episode, chapter 32 equals Episode 12. And not to mention, you will notice there's a difference between both scenes.
In manga,Shigeru and Rizu discuss it's not just about Kyoko Shiratori, but an AI who was responsible for Seika's misfortune, but here, Seiji wants to question Rizu was interrupted by Intel on organization.

| @Kelvin19192 I see, I'm only going by the anime since I haven't read the manga and therefore I didn't realize that the manga is also over which is a shame since the ending was left open-ended and I would've liked to have seen future adventures with Shigeru and Seika. The AI bit sounds interesting and something that could've been expanded upon too, oh well. |
| The characters and premise are pretty unique. Looking at the job applicants, it seems that a lot of people go to that world but somehow there's no big news about missing people in the earth. Maybe the only thing that move is only their mind? Is that world just a fabricated virtual reality world? Does the AI development from Seiji's company has something to do with it? Another interesting thing is becoming a god can mean nothing in this world, Special Note power can nullify that. This made me remember the merit and demerit system of Nen in Hunter x Hunter. Reeze's power to see the notes is pretty powerful and important. The manga and novel seems to be already ended and they made this anime to promote the manga sequel. Overall pretty good. I hope they make next season. |

Honestly, the plot about Shigeru, the ugly guy who takes pride in his ugliness, is unique and interesting.
Seika’s backstory is also good.
However, this anime has poor graphic quality, a messy and inconsistent story.
Throughout the 12 episodes, I had to endure a storyline that made me feel embarrassed to even watch it. At first, I could put up with the cringy changes in Seiji and Seika, but I got annoyed when Leeds also went through a cringy transformation.
On top of that, Shigeru, who took pride in his ugliness, suddenly turned into a handsome guy in episode 11.

| @Denkenisme I feel the same it completely betrayed it's potential. What's the point of creating a Story device that discourages him from dealing with women in general then turning it on the flipside and make Shigeru's entire vocation simping for Seika. It was downright embarassing it was like 20% of the show just standing there observing her from a distance... UglyMug-Epic fighter reduced to this women worshipping vomit. You can say: but his vocation was King-making Seiji, LOL how much time does he spend doing that, compared to calling Seika Pretty 3x every episode. This guy offered his life as a protector to her, because she bought him burger meals with his own money...... The storyline for sure sucked just a convienient circle of characters which radiate from his past life, it cheapened the plot and made the whole thing feel fake. I will say episode 8 was a bit of a detour some pretty decent animation, and the Uglymug actually kicking ass, but that of course was an anomaly. The worst thing in a show like this is for it to go back on it's premise making him handsome, it really added nothing to the story and was completely unnecessary. I'd take watching 1 ugly shigeru fighting, than 200 seikas. They don't seem to understand that we actually like the character, and don't want to be thrown into another boring isekai classic subplot of doing quests for random women. My full thoughts are a bit more graphic in my review here if you're interested. |

| It was a really solid watch but that ending kinda ruined it all for me...like what even happened during that sequence. It kinda bumped it down one score for me! |
| THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!! |
| I am quite upset that this anime is actually pretty good. |
