"If he can stay awake" is a bit of an exaggeration. He's just kind of elemental. It's never been possible to really stop him from doing what he wants since he can literally kill anything with a moment's thought, so he kind of does whatever he wants, but he's more stoic and frank than dull or bored. There's plenty of interesting stuff going on too, it's just that any attempt to attack him directly immediately results in the would-be attacker collapsing.

Your mileage may vary, but I always have lots of fun reading this series. It's much better than it might sound from the synopsis. Without giving spoilers, I'd say to try watching at least one or two episodes, even if one is not a fan of overpowered protagonists.

Yui Horie really just walking in, giving some kids powers, and then abandoning the ones that don't ?

The leads' banter seems fun. And all the casual killing .

Witch lady is quite easy on the eyes .

I am in Satou Rina is in it. I think I might be a bit obsessed with her.

Oh I remember this one now the manga was kinda fun until I got bored of it. I'll probably check it out at least.

And of course it has to be on a platform I'm not subscribed to...I have to keep my finger crossed that Yamato Animation buys the streaming rights for Italy.

And of course, what they cut, instantly vaporizing the first guy that speaks up against her without the slightest change in demeanor. Kind of establishes from the start the "sages" are not exactly "human" anymore.

Also, I hope they're able to handle the deaths properly. For the most part it's instantaneous, no shock or struggle, just instant drop. Thing is that it balances comical "battles" where anything that even looks at the guy with too much anger is suddenly dead with a very deeply chilling impact from the realization that yeah, it is instantaneous and absolute. It looks funny for enemies to just keel over, but at the same time it's a demonstration of his power beyond power: he IS death, the end of all somehow formed into a conscious entity. I imagine it can be a hard balance to make an audience struggle between mirth and fear.

Got my eye on this.

Spoiler:

Starting off straight with a little boy walking around a destroyed lab with various people dead! And then he just casually walks in on his mother(?) figure being held at gunpoint by another lady! Who then keels over! Did I mention this is all before the actual Isekai plot ?

Yogiri is such a mood. I mean, Kouki Uchiyama knows how to voice casual and stoic guys, but it takes a lot to just wake up, off a dragon, and then just sit down and game with your Switch which you had the whole time. Meanwhile Miyu Tomita is still playing a straight woman like Karane, only now she has a bigger chest .

The OP is pretty fun and lively featuring Yogiri and Tomochika's adventures together in this other world and Yogiri just casually offing things, as well as all the quirky characters they'll meet along the way. Also can't wait for samurai girl Tomochika !

The only thing more sudden than ending up in an Isekai world out of the blue is Yui Horie just walking in, casually offing the only two adults in the bus, and then gifting you with powers and explaining you're now going to become a "sage" in this world. Did not have psycho and cute Hocchan on my bingo card for this show .

So, like, is it the powers that made the classmates so much worse? Like abandoning all the non-powered kids and using them as bait...that's really scummy. Tomochika can't believe her best friend went along with it, but despite some hesitancy, Mikoshi really did leave her there. Is it related to how the trio in this episode talked about being in that world before? Did they awaken to their "true" memories and turn into different people ?

I see that Yogiri's go-to move is gaming and just casually offing anything that inconveniences or troubles him, like a bunch of jerks who came to have their way with Tomochika. It also helps that he can read killing intent .

Oh hey, Hiro Shimono as Hankawa! Dudes' pathetic and doesn't stand any chance, and now he's stuck being Yogiri's slave! The funny thing is he probably intended to use that slave collar on Tomochika but failing that wanted to be her slave...and she wants nothing to do with him. Can't say he didn't have it coming though .

I like that Tomochika is grateful enough to Yogiri that she doesn't judge him for just killing people even if it seems like she'd rather that not be his first option to solving their problems. She also was wondering if there might be a chance he likes her and he...likes the feel of her boobs, at least? Tough going if you want to meet nice guys in this show, girl .

I'm expecting Yogiri's Instant Death Ability is going to cause Shion more headache than she thinks .

The ED is pretty nice with Yogiri living out his daily, dull, life with Tomochika being the only thing that can wake him up, which is cute .
