Introduction
Since his childhood, high school student Touya Senji has been frantically searching for a talent of his own due to being overshadowed by his late brother, Seiya. Lately, rumors of a serial killer associated with flower petals have circulated around his school. As he tries to not get distracted by the hearsay, his class suddenly receives a new student named Haito Luo Buffett, who is strangely interested in Touya.
The same evening, Touya and Haito stumble upon the serial killer. As the killer tries to slaughter the two, Haito uses an otherworldly power called the Branch of Reincarnation, which allows her to fend the enemy off. Known as "Returners," the people who can utilize the Branch of Reincarnation are able to retrieve talents from their former lives. The variety of talents come with issues, though, as not all Returners are willing to use their talents benevolently.
Bestowed with an ability to steal talents from other Returners, Touya is ultimately uninterested in contributing to humanity, only desiring to surpass Seiya and become the most talented person in the world. However, as working with Heito and the other benevolent Returners is the most efficient way to reach his goal, Touya joins them to fight infamous reincarnated talents that threaten the world.

Seemed like a good watch, generated interest (and controversy) when it was announced they would animate this series, but it fell far short of expectations. The anime skips many parts that develop the characters and make you care about them for fight scenes between characters you meet for the very first time. The war arc would’ve been great had they not rushed straight into it with little to no introductions of any characters there. Instead you’re given fights between characters you don’t really know much about which ultimately leaves the whole arc falling flat. They should’ve done more than 13 episodes instead of trying to cram multiple chapters of manga in one episode and choosing to skip developmental parts in the story for fight scenes. Due to the lack of many key things needed in a goo…

It was just random at first but in the end I liked this shit. Expected it to be worse but it turned out good so watched till the end. I would say this is worth giving a try.
The characters are good but the development is trash.
Animation is pretty decent but movement is choppy.
Art is really good but the style is mid.
The plot is super awesome but the execution is garbage.
Backstory is fine but the demonstration is shit.
The power system is OP but the usage is ass.
The story is a badass but the pacing is turbo granny.
You can watch it because its not bad but you can't expect top quality because it's like a toyota corolla

The concept is really interesting. Very similar to Fate series (which i really love) with the concept of "reincarnated" famous figures. And those famous figures has their own unique superpowers, so yes really reminds you of Fate series. And i like the power system too. And tbh the overall concept plot are interesting. We can see the MC also developed nicely from an "antihero" to kinder protagonist. The artstyle also unique, it was vibrant and different from others.
But, the problem is this anime only good at the concept, because the whole execution was pretty terrible. The story offering a bit of surprise in the middle but gradually becomes boring and didn't have enough charm to hooked me in. The pacing were too fast. And production weren't that good either, pretty bad animation, very bla…

i wont say its perfect but i love this anime the way it is, the pacing is kinda fast at first but they tone down later, no drag out episode in my opinion, love how they handle the screentime for couples like how its not just a team vs team fight its sweet asf, yea it is edgy but edgy wasn't a thing in my childhood so i can take whatever edgy they got, and everytime i watch this anime it always remind me of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer anime where i always thought that anime would atleast be a bit better if they had this anime budget as reincarnation no kaben but anyways my favorite girl is Neumann idk why though but yeah if you watch till the end maybe you guys are too or maybe its just me,
in short the anime is team vs team superpowers fight but later plot twist which is a spoiler so i…

This was highly disappointing, like a bad idea getting approved. Or rather an incomplete one. Let's start with the easy one. I liked the character designs. Each character was easy to distinguish from one another and have their own unique personality and quirks. The animation, while not spectacular, was on par for the time. I also believe the show had a rather interesting premise at least in The proposal stage. The premise of being able to steal someone else's talents and abilities is intriguing especially if you think about it in the context of a real world setting. Like being able to steal Michael Jordan's basketball ability or tiger woods golf ability. But now let us get to the elephant in the room. This show would have been a lot more interesting had it not devolved into the battle shon…

Japan has been pumping out nothing but finely cut gems in recent years, mainly dude to brave and bold experimentation and this is the very tip of the spear of it (although the manga is apparently 12 years old already).
Welcome to "what happens when you look up Fate on Bing", or "Temu Fate", or "reincarnated as androgynoys shota Schicklgruber", or best described as anime Clone High, but instead of a comedy satirizing teen dramas, it is action and its power system most closely resembles domain expansions. It operates under a delightfully fast pace, which is much to the appreciation of myself, an iPad kid, but is also a double edged sword as that doesn't appeal to all viewers for some reason, so heed that as your warning if slow and chill anime like Mushishi are your cup of tea. It's no Tata…

It is one of those which I personally find so bad it is fun to watch.
What is it about:
Power. "Talents" earned through cutting your throat with a "Branch of Reincarnation". That "talent" will be loosely related to a historic personality(Einstein -> teleportation...). It is possible to achieve a full returner where that person actually becomes that historic personality and looses there memory of who they were before. MC is living in a depressed state and wants to be something. He looks up to his older brother who died in an accident and has a craving for recognition from him which he never felt. Thus he decides to take the chance that gets presented to him and uses the branch of reincarnation. Talents come in two kinds the "great" ones and the "evil" ones(forgot the actual term). MC gets…

"Can we watch Fate?"
"No, we have Fate at home"
Fate at home:
I could already tell from as early as the first episode that this show was not going to be well-received, and as you can probably tell from its current score, I was more than right. This is probably going to be one of the few more positive reviews about Petals of Reincarnation, so I'm going to do my best to defend it, as well as hopefully maybe even convince everyone reading this review to give it a shot. After all, the fact that this show is rated significantly lower than most of the generic isekai slop that comes out every season physically pains me. I can definitely understand a lot of the hate for this show, but some of the criticism for it also seems pretty far-fetched, and sort of like people just want a reason to hate. N…
