I want to do a retrospective review on this, not because it is good, but for the catharsis of reviewing a fun trash isekai
This as a series is so average and so generic that it is not worth writing home about, it has all the tropes, it has our OP MC who is a Kirito clone right down to the casting of Yoshitsugu, you can imagine the conversations around it.
Things tend to play out like you would expect, Celia is best girl, there really is very little that can be said about it, which is probably why I never tried to review it before.
The story is lacking in complexity, MC is isekai'd turns out later he's not the only one, the story starts with him living in the slums, he rescues as princess, as a reward he is enrolled at a school where he learns about magic and how to use a sword, everything…

If you are the type who use their brain, you will see tons and tons of very questionable situations, because clearly the story was made to make things look good and not well though out.
Anyone who is a bad person: uses their brain and their connections
Anyone who is a good person, including the people who are powerful and have social power: … for whatever reason they are all not doing anything, just sacrificing themself, until MC rescue them, just to ensure to not bother anyone, neither MC nor the bad people, and of course, they don't use their brain, they don't use their connection (including not asking MC for help), and their statues or whatever they have earned is non existing. Everything is solved by MC. And any character growth is: character has issues, can't do anything so just sit…

Average, inoffensive, unassuming, unimpressive. If I could summarize everything, my reaction to this entire show is the neutral face emoji. This isn't a show that just tapes together 60 isekai tropes and calls it a day, but it also never rises above that level of quality. When I finished watching Spirit Chronicles, I wasn't annoyed like when I watch something bad. I also wasn't in a good mood either. I left just like I came, forgetting everything an hour later. In fact, I had to rewatch it just to remember what happened.
The plot was a little boring, but not insulting or painful to watch. It just had nothing impressive about it whatsoever. It is the usual formula of: Rio (MC) is secretly cool --> Hogwarts for nobility --> discrimination against Rio for being a peasant featuring the nobles…

I don't care about your opinions, especially those who don't recommend this anime, because I also sometimes don't recommend anime that I think are bad!
Overall, I think this anime is good and I'm really looking forward to the continuation of the story.
I will review some of the advantages here:
1. An MC who is strong, not naive, can be relied on, and especially not late in taking action, the MC I hate the most is strong but stupid and hesitant to take action.
2. The graphics and character design are good, in my opinion everything is well done, there are no flaws or use of 3D CGI which is not pleasing to the eye, lots of beautiful girls to feast the eyes on.
3. The opening and closing songs are good, but I prefer the closing songs, there are quite a few anime products that don't really ca…

It's crazy how people think this is actually good, they clearly never watched actual good anime, you can see right away that this came out of a low quality manga.
I'll make this quick: low budget and limited OST, low tier animation (i don't mind tbh), low effort making the story hence screaming with cliché, 0 to nothing character development (i wouldn't expect much from a isekai doe), all girls have the same annoying loli voice, they forgot to add logic and emotions to the characters, mc saves everyone (girls) without coming up with any plan, basically superman without kryptonite, 0 thrill, 0 story, 0 comedy, 0 sense? The only good part is when it ends.
In the end i've wasted my time and possibly wasting my time typing this but hopefully someone will read this and think twice before watc…

It is good, reminiscent of Mushoku tensei buuuuut worse in pretty much every single way. But still it is good
University student gets trucked into the body of a 6 year old orphan. He soon after gets superpowers and goes to the local academy. I don't personally quite understand why every isekai character has to attend school, it is the middle ages my dude nobody was attending school. The kids behavior is also totally weird 8 year olds acting like high schoolers it just doesn't make much sense. "You are sullying the name of this fine institution with your baseless slander" 8 year old kid says that??? You know what a 8 year old kid would actually say? "PEE PEE POO POO! FORTNITE!" Weird behaviors from characters in this show. Latifa is mentally 18 years old by this point so why does she act l…

All I can say about the anime is it is very cliche, you definitely seen some of the most common plot and troupes in anime and yes, they are all *almost* here. Some of the examples are being reincarnated by "train-kun", being the lowest status and getting bullied by royalties, cute girls, op mc and many more.
If you don't like that then you definitely shouldn't watch the show but (very bias opinion coming), my take on this one is I personally enjoyed it. It's pretty fun and it's called fantasy for a reason, maybe it has overused troupes but it definitely has a good story and characters. Will recommend to watch it if you have some time to kill.

If you're looking for a high-quality, thought-provoking anime that will leave you feeling intellectually fulfilled, then Serei Gensouki is definitely not for you. This show is the trashiest of trash, and I mean that in the best possible way.
From the awful animation to the nonsensical plot, Serei Gensouki is a hot mess of epic proportions. The characters are all one-dimensional caricatures, and the dialogue is cringeworthy at best. But somehow, despite all of its flaws, I couldn't NOT look away every 5 minutes. I was so mesmerized by the trainwreck unfolding before me that I just had to keep watching.
In conclusion, Serei Gensouki is a must-watch for anyone who loves terrible anime. It's the perfect blend of trashy goodness and pure entertainment. 10/10 would recommend to all trash afici…

this review contains both spoilers and swearing!
Story: 2
Step 1: introduce characters in a re zero like manner thus inciting discriminatory treatment.
Step 2: make the character go through childhood trauma/ awakening of sorts.
Step 3: ENROLL INTO MAGIC SCHOOL. Step 4: GET KICKED OUT CUS OF BLAITENT SETUP (but dont forget you need to establish connection that can be used as plot convenience for the finale)
Step 5: Make harem to fill episodes to the finale.
Step 6: Make trashy wedding crashing finale
THE ONLY REASON THIS FORMAT WORKS AND ANYONE WOULD WATCH THIS IS: cus that girl thats being saved looks like barbara from genshin impact (would you believe me if i told u am not a genshin simp...)
Art: 7
pretty good art actually, especially with the girl that looks like barbara... (onc…

This is a little different from your typical isekai. The main character, Haruto, who dies in a bus accident is reincarnated in the body of Rio, a child who has his own life in the new world. He cannot deny the fact that he is Haruto, but continues to believe he is Rio. The main character goes through a lot of challenges as he grows, some due to his class, others due to his reincarnation. I know it may not sound so interesting at first, but trust me, it gets you hooked. We get to experience the main character age from a child, to a teen, to a young adult. Though the conflicts stay at a minimum, it is clear the first season is only setting the foundation for future storylines. I don't want to spoil way too much, but overall, this isekai is great, and I wish it did not end at 12 episodes. Def…

This anime is good. 10/10 in fact. I too am surprised when i first watched this anime. I mean, who wouldn't? In terms of overused materials, this anime got them all. Cliché plots, generic kirito-type character (they even got the same seiyuu wtf), cringe and emo MC, i mean damn, you name it all.
But the real reason why i rated this anime a 10/10 is because of the plot itself. It's clean, it's bland, and it doesn't even have any new contribution to the isekai genre. I might have rated this anime a little bit too high but please listen to what i have to say.
This might be a little bit too scientific. If you're one of the people who said "SAO is bad because tons of people say it's bad." then you're free to not read this essay.
What i want to explain, is about how clean the plot is. You mi…

I'm not really sure why I'm giving this a 2. Probably because it's not so bad it's horrible, but it's not particularly good either. I saw someone call Rio/Haruto a discount-Kirito from SAO, and they actually aren't wrong.
I actually can't think of anything redeeming about this show.
The art is stereotypical I guess.
The music is so-so for a mediocre anime.
Fair warning, each episode is a speed run. Whether they're speed running the years, or a mediocre fight to get to a mediocre point you just don't care about. In fact this whole anime is just a speed run to things you just don't care about. You can't even get whiplash from the pacing because there is no other pacing other than fast, and even if they slow it long enough for you to care, you don't get whiplash. You'd have to actually c…

It's pretty bad, I would say maybe watch if you enjoy watching bad shows just to see the multitude of ways they manage to be bad. You can see the cracks in the first episode, and every episode after that the show almost seems like it's about to take off and it constantly whiffs.
This show had some cool character designs and at times it was endearing enough that if it actually went somewhere it could have been a mediocre but okay show. But the plot development is extremely poor and the show wastes a lot of your time doing nothing of interest for a while. Then in the last couple episodes there is not enough time for the show to properly end. Nothing much gets resolved and nothing really feels worth resolving. The end is not satisfying and leaves as much open as possible for a second season…

Cliché anime where the protagonist revives in a world of magic and fantasy. The typical isekai, I expected something more from the series but no, it was a disappointment. The most normal and predictable thing I could see. The only thing that stands out is its ending which sucks. The animation is normal, the soundtrack too but nothing to recommend seeing this shit. If you're thinking of seeing this do yourself a favor and don't watch it, it's a waste of time.
En español:
Anime cliché donde el protagonista revive en un mundo de magia y fantasía. El típico isekai, me esperaba algo mas de la serie pero no, fue una decepción. La cosa mas normal y predecible que podía ver. Lo único que destaca es su final que es una mierda. La animación es normal, la banda sonora también pero nada como para re…

Spirit Crap.
Get ready for another *sigh* light novel isekai adaptation. Though, I will say that I was impressed with the first two episodes. The isekai premise of a teen getting killed by a trunk-kun and then getting reincarnated into another world has been done to death, but I don't think I had ever seen Spirit Chronicles spin on the premise and that got me excited. Our male protagonist no.1 Haruto isn't exactly reincarnated per say. His spirit is reborn into an already existing boy of the fantasy worlds slums called Rio.
Rio gains all of Haruto's memories and physical experiences as if they're his own, but struggles with the dichotomy of that and his own personality as his mind has difficulty processing two different lives from different worlds.
It's a really cool idea. A better wri…

This text will be an analogy. Actually, a generalization.
What is your favorite food? This can be a difficult question. In fact, it is a varied subject and depends on many external and internal factors, personal tastes, experiences and expectations. Anyway, imagine that you have the opportunity to eat the same thing every day.
Well, this is somewhat of a dream. Who wouldn't want to spend a moment of their life overindulging in what they like most? I myself feel that it is something unique and that this utopia would be nice eventually. However, think how nauseating it can be to live with the same thing over and over again. It is uncomfortable, isn't it? Now think that this analogy resembles Seirei Gensouki, a show that started out delivering interestin…

Don't listen to the other reviews from other people for this anime. They say the exact same shit for every other new isekai that airs and can't help but complain about how similar the main mc is to Kirito from SAO. Then they proceed to hate on the show for every element of the show they don't like and call it "trash". (This literally happens a LOT on crunchyroll comments for ANY new isekai that comes out. Literally 90% of the comment section for each new episode that airs for the isekai is just a hate thread).
If you want my advice, Seirei is worth watching and you will enjoy it if you keep your negative attitude out of the equation. I hope one day these hate watchers will take new Isekai's that air for granted.
9/10, cant wait for Season 2.

The biggest problem with Seirei Gensouki is that it seems that despite his 'hardships' everything seems to come up Rio. Rather than feeling like you're following along for the ride, feeling the hardships along the MC, it's like you're listening to someone tell the story about their D&D character that never really had to struggle for much. Rio just takes everything in stride, and never actually loses. The one thing that made him interesting, his backstory in the alternate world, could've been reflected somewhere in the story at some point, but they never utilize it.
There's some interesting worldbuilding and characters to play around with, but the story focuses so much on Rio we never really get a chance to see where any of it could go, which is really unfortunate. There seemed to be so m…

Seirei Gensouki (2021)
One day a show won't skip the fight or make the MC move faster than fast, they will show it to you and that shall be a statement. I do find it funny when he asked if he could run faster then it zoomed out like he was jogging lightly.
The show itself is a typical Isekai style show but has more connection to the previous world especially as evident in the final episode. I must say the show is very typical throughout and rushes a few bits like the school arc but it isn't that bad necessarily.
The art is pretty good overall, it is very consistent and nicely animated in fight scenes.
The OP and ED are both fun, the general sound is good with voices but the combat is a bit hollow.
Characters are wide and that means not so developed. One minute they are important a…

*Spoilers be warned, this review will have some context that's relevant to the overall story*
What comes to your mind when you hear of the word "Isekai"? As a genre made famous from the tropes it originated from, the popularity that literally started its rise and downfall with SAO, and the momentum of shows like it has never stopped. Giving us the great likeness of Re:Zero to the horrendous worsts like Isekai Smartphone, there exists an Isekai for everyone, but not all of them are masterpieces of their own right. Seirei Gensouki on the other hand, touts to be just that and more: a carbon copy of SAO, but there is a major key difference that sets it apart.
Let's get the similarities out of the way for most of the anime-onlies being simpletons for comparison: Haruto Amakawa a.k.a Rio (in t…
