The anime’s voicing and animation are better than many shows rated under 6.5, and its backstory is genuinely moving with a strong message. Unfortunately, the many flaws pull it down from what could have been an 8/10 to just a 6/10. The premise promises action and comedy, but very little of that is delivered, and what is shown often feels illogical or underwhelming.
Although the MC is likeable—an intelligent, kind, and charismatic but unattractive man in his old life—his reincarnated version seems to lose some of that intelligence. Problems that could have been solved with effort and growth are glossed over, leaving his powers underdeveloped and inconsistently scaled. Proper progression and character development would have raised the anime a tier higher. The three side characters do get some decent development, but it’s undermined by cheesy and cringeworthy moments.
If you can easily overlook logical fallacies and just want an easygoing watch with a surprisingly beautiful backstory, this anime is worth your time. For everyone else, it’s best saved for when you’ve run out of better options. Despite its charm, I couldn’t give it more than 6/10.
