ANN's version of the synopsis:

Quote:

The original story begins when a powerful wizard and sage, who has saved his world from calamity many times, comes upon a baby whom he adopts and names Shin. The baby is actually a man from our world reincarnated into the sage's world. The sage raises Shin, separated from the rest of society, and teaches him in the ways of magic. It is only when Shin turns 15 years old and sets out on his own journey that the sage remembers that he forgot to teach Shin the common sense and ways of the world. And so, with no experience at all in interpersonal communication and common society, Shin goes the capital of the Alsheid Kingdom to enroll in the capital's magic academy.

This looks like the usual random "MC was reincarnated in another world" series that will be forgotten right away. This setting is getting so overused that is not even interesting anymore.

FlareKnight · 2017-09-22, 00:15

That summary seems odd somehow. If the person is reborn as a baby in that world....does he have to be from our world at all? Can't it just be a fantasy story?

Oh well, something to keep an eye on. Looks to be another magic school harem anime. Always going to have a few of those on the horizon.

HOW IS THIS A GOOD PREMISE. It's impossible to figure out. One of life's greatest mysteries.
I bet it'll sell like shit anyways.

It's actually an isekai OP-MC type anime. It's adapted from the webnovel series of the same name, that's running on Shousetsuka ni Narou.
(Same place where Re Zero, Konosuba, Knights & Magic, and Isekai Smartphone came from.)

MisaoFan · 2017-09-22, 04:56

Well at least having a main character not having common sense while in a fantasy has potential to be a ironically fun ride and "self-aware" kind of bad. Let's see if it'll deliver such opportunities.

Valky · 2017-09-22, 05:36

Well, that's a surprise.

It's not what I expected to be animated.

Exactly.
Titles like How a Realist Hero Reformed the Kingdom,Faraway Paladin or Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru I can expect, but this is just a surprise.

tsunade666 · 2017-09-22, 05:57

This is a total surprise but then again, death march and smartphone are being animated. And this series is like smartphone where it tried to be serious in some part but for most part, its pretty tame.

ah.

OTP and not Harem series.

OTP like Ikki & Stella in Rakudai Kishi?

Sage Shinigami · 2017-09-22, 10:38

Sounds stupid, but I'm willing to withhold judgment until I've watched some of it for myself.

The One Above God · 2017-09-22, 15:48

Seriously? This, among all the isekai/tensei series out there? Okay then.

ikki still has girls around lurking and liking him. this is actual otp. there are set of girls and boys paired up. not stupid harem where girls flocks on one guy thanks to author's self insert.

drawr · 2017-09-22, 18:25

That PV was so bad it became hilarious.

Fufufu · 2017-09-22, 20:07

Well this is surprising. Is it really worth being animated? I don't think so. Don't get me wrong I follow the manga but as the way I see it it's not anime material.

Magin · 2017-09-22, 21:56

I (or someone else) really need to create a manga thread for this series. The novel thread (I forget whether it's an LN or WN) will basically tell you that the story goes to complete crap later on; reading the manga so far has been pleasant though.

Also, the being reborn premise and forgetting to teach him common sense are what lead him to being OP- he takes scientific principles from our world and makes his magic OP with it. And the humor lies in him thinking (at least initially) that what he does is actually normal until he meets his classmates

Marcus H. · 2017-09-23, 01:57

Nice midriff, MC.

Diluc · 2017-09-23, 05:34

Not harem but the series is boring due of otaku self-fulfillment wishes : Super OP MC and AFAIK the only competent is the mc in main casts, most casts nothing more than buddy buddy advisors for MC.
Well, but compared to isekai smarthone this still alright anyway.

tsunade666 · 2017-09-23, 05:48

I think harem isekai is more self-fulfillment or self-insert or wish fullfillment. heck, any harem story but this? the only good thing this story is that I like how the mc took the whole isekai thing as a new adventure to experience new things and make new magic and destroy the common sense of that world.

I also prefer this MC over knight and magic. That trap guy from knight and magic is too over obsessed with his robots that he doesn't feel much when killing someone. Remorse was forgotten.

While this story started good. It become dull later on. The comedy had become rehash again and again but I liked the development of couples and yes. COUPLES. not HAREM.
