This is definitely more of a slice-of-life isekai where the conflict is... how can the protagonist be like the rest of us and do nothing, literally, in a world that sees him as overly capable, intelligent, and strong? It is a constant struggle, and I actually really enjoy that conflict.
The big flaw is the fanservice.
There are some things to bring up like the sister being a little too cosy with the MC... it actually made me roll my eyes. But it was nice to see a protagonist who hoped she would grow out of it instead of being flattered and even treating her like an annoying sister. Nice change of pace. Nothing about the anime was unusually great or unusually bad, it was quite standard... as I feel with all slice of life. My only real complaint was the sister and maybe his first servant…

I honestly feel ashamed that I watched this anime AND liked it. At it's core it's a power fantasy anime like eminence in the shadow and every fiber of my body tells me that it's absolute slop, but I did somehow have a good time watching it. This anime doesn't really stand out in any sort of way, it's your typical seasonal isekai. If you take a piece of paper and write down a plot of a generic isekai, you'll have an 80% chance of guessing how this anime's gonna play out. The only saving qualities of this anime are:
-you don't have to use any of your braincells while watching this
-the anime openly admits that it's bad
To sum up what i think about it:
Watch it if you don't feel like thinking with more braincells than a potato has

For God's sake, don't waste your time
a generic isekai anime with OP MC that I would have some fun watching, at least that’s what I thought at first
It turned out to be a low-effort, low-quality light novel isekai adaptation
At first, I thought the worst thing was that the MC's powers made no sense, but as it turns out that was the easiest pill to swallow
Plot: The most generic isekai power fantasy story out there
Characters:
Animation: A friend of mine who likes bad anime, saw me watching it and told me the animation was bad. you can't get any lower than that
The episodes get worse one after the other, except for the first two or three ones that were a little bit fun

"Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita?" (Am I Actually the Strongest?) attempts to stand out in the oversaturated isekai genre but falls flat in almost every aspect. What could have been an engaging story about a reincarnated protagonist seeking a peaceful life becomes a repetitive and poorly constructed narrative riddled with shallow characters, predictable plotlines, and uninspired action sequences.
Uninspired Characters
One of the anime's biggest flaws is its characters. Many seem to exist merely as placeholders, contributing nothing meaningful to the story. The prince and princess, for instance, are introduced but have no significant impact on the narrative. They’re just there, and their lack of depth or purpose feels like a waste of screen time. The supporting cast as a whole is so underde…

I have to say, this series is really good. The anime is a typical isekai. But what makes it good is that it doesn't take itself seriously. In this anime, literally everything resembles an isekai parody, whether it's the characters' actions or behavior. Especially the main character, who doesn't take himself seriously and parodies the plot, which makes him much more likable than other isekai characters who always take themselves seriously, which only makes the viewer feel secondary shame.
But it's true that the anime doesn't give any of the characters depth or serious world-building. So we are left with the usual fantasy world-building and character types. The characters are likable and their dynamics with each other were good. In addition, there were references to a deeper layer in the wo…

One of the more fun Isekai I've watched recently, doesn't take itself serious at all and just felt like a fun ride, story is pretty simple, otaku dies in his room alone, god gives him a second chance at life to realise what life has to offer, the exact opposite of what our MC wants, and so his quest begins to weasel his way out of all responsibility and ignore every duty that falls on his lap, with his little sister pushing him to be her hero and outside circumstances forcing him to intervene, we have a pretty fun show.
The more you watch the more intriguing the story plot becomes, having to face his past as his birthmother becoming the main villain of this story, with the previous defeated demon lord being reincarnated as a student, it leaves a cool plot to look forward to, I doubt the a…

Ah yes, another Isekai series amongst the tricks and tropes.
To be direct, this series is........... nothing special, it's on the same level as any other generic series.
Our MC is the usual Japanese man who seeks to live a life of peace and...laziness. Now sure I don't have any issues with this kind of resolve, sometimes peace is all a person needs to succeed.
The issues I have with this Anime lie with the MC, he has no ambition or drive to the point its pathetic. Sure, you have OP powers, you know a good amount of things, and you know how to carry your own weight. Those are the bare minimum, but we can only tolerate a negligent MC to a certain degree before it starts to become burdensome.
Pushing that aside, the story, animation, and set of characters are okay. There is nothing special…

Spoiler-less, TL;DR, fast, simple, and easy-to-digest review:
OP, Closet, (Yawn...)
4/10
Animation? Ok (+)
Decent art and animation... but its only good for like 5 years ago. But this is released in 2023... and aired alongside the GOAT Isekai Anime which is Mushoku Tensei. I'd say, this anime doesn't try to compete in this criteria.
Characters? Bad (--) I just watched it hours ago and I kinda forgot them now. All I remember is the MC is generic, the girls cannot comprehend what square is (get it... because they can only comprehend a dot and a line because of how 1-dimensional they are) and... yeah. They are all forgettable.
Story? Trash (---)
If you are a seasoned Isekai watcher, then ignore this anime. If you are not, ignore it as well. Nothing to see here...
Pacing? Trash (---)

This anime was kind of bad and only partially in the funny realm. It's practically a caricature of the isekai genre and was only partially saved by being moderately funny.
MC is absurdly powerful, but only when the plot says he can be - it is immensely frustrating to watch him insta-solve difficult situations then struggle with the dime-a-dozen villain. The world and the magic are essentially unexplained, MC can just do anything he wants after a bit of "research into ancient magic" he did in a library that one time so you essentially have no idea and just have to accept that he's omnipotent when the plot says and restricted when the plot says. Guess that library had every book ever, or maybe none at all, that's literally how little information we have on his abilities.
Might as well ignore…

It's a great isekai. The MC is overpowered but doesn't show his powers. It's very similar to eminence in the shadow in aspects. Only this guy has a little sister that knows about him and is uhm... a bit too attached to him.
The world and its' systems is clearly worse tho. It's quite simple, including the backstory
The characters are funny and the stakes don't feel that high, although that will probably change in season 2
The MC is pretty good I think. He doesn't feel too generic.
Also something I value a lot: they didn't rush through the material. It felt like they went through it on a normal pace.
The things that happen to the MC are also great. It doesn't feel boring like nothing's happening after a while like most isekai.
It's a good isekai. Wouldn't put it between Mushoku and Em…

Not sure why this is getting such middling reviews, so here's my take on why this anime deserves a chance. This an easy-going comedy first and foremost. Yes there are a lot of typical isekai'd OP character tropes/clichés, and yes I would put this in the "guilty pleasure" category, but even so it does enough to differentiate it and get past being complete trash like other run-of-the-mill isekai's being released every season (Saikyou Onmyouji Isekai or Kuro no Shoukanshi for ex.). It's a non-serious, feel good type of anime that I definitely wouldn't mind an extra season of (gives me similar vibes to TsukiMichi but more comedy, less action/harem focused).
The MC/Haruto isn't your typical protag-kun, he's got some pre-reincarnation baggage (but it's glossed over like a lot of things) and the…

I will preface this review by saying I generally love the Isekai genre, and I like trash Isekai for the pure enjoyment factor that it offers
That being said, the Spring/Summer seasons has given us many poor offerings and too few gems for Isekai fans with either mediocre series, or series that are just dull or outright bad.
Fortunately this series is not dull, but while it did have enough to grab my initial attention and was entertaining enough to keep me watching, it was the very definition of mediocre.
This series took a paint-by-numbers approach to creating an isekai series, there is very little original here, and in a space where you need a unique twist to stand out amongst the crowd, all this does is tick off all the cliches one by one.
So in the end there is nothing special here, it…

Another waste of anime talent. I rated this 4(bad) as I just watched another anime that was even more cringy. Why the need to make super overpowered reincarnation animes are beyond me. I'd run from this one.
The protagonist is an unlikeable and poor excuse for a living being. I can't really say there were any redeeming facets about the worm. I think a worm is more impressive in personality than this self-proclaimed shut-in. The whole show is centered around this SUPER powered idiot that's so bored, even in his reincarnated life, that he's still bored, still WANTS to be a shut-in, and is apathetic to the point you want him to just bury himself in a hole. On an aside, it was interesting that this stupid slapstick show would so easily kill people off.

Anime that can be enjoyable for some people, but can also be disappointing for others. It is a fun and entertaining anime that will make you feel good and amazed by the power of Haruto, but it is also a light-hearted and thrilling anime that will make you feel bored and annoyed by the lack of originality and depth. If you like isekai, harem, slice-of-life, and ecchi genres, you might like this anime. But if you are looking for something more serious and complex, you might want to skip this anime.
The good points of this anime are:
-The comedy is well-done and hilarious. The anime has a lot of funny and "fanservice scenes" that will make you laugh out loud. The
interactions between Haruto and the other characters are amusing and entertaining.
-The fantasy setting is interesting and imme…

First and foremost, I would like to emphasize that I started watching this anime because of its promising plot concept and the tremendous potential it seemed to offer. The first two episodes served to establish the world and the backstory, and in my opinion, they did this task quite decently.
However, I must say that from the third episode onwards, I noticed a significant decline in the storyline. The main character, Haruto, was the reason I started the anime in the first place, and it's unfortunate to see how he has developed. Even after his rebirth with incredible abilities and the highest magician level in this world, his character has changed very little. His initial lack of ambition and unchanged behavior after rebirth are hard for me to understand. I would have expected him to evolv…

I get we've got too comfortable with the same plots and everything, but this was a good watch for me atleast, I enjoyed every episode, no boring talking too much.
All the characters are nice and that's what I like ab the anime.
Also the mc is just the way he should be idk what ppl here are yapping about💀.
Yes.. he is overpowered from the start but that's the whole point of his story, so no point making the anime look bad for that reason, there was nothing wrong with this anime.
Art style was enough good.
If you enjoy "bubble" shows this will be an enjoyable watch for you.

This is without a doubt an anime to "pass the time", one of those animes where you turn off your brain and don't worry about understanding the story or the character development, one of those animes that you put in the background while you do homework or clean .
It's actually not bad, it's just mediocre, just another isekai to kill some time.
You will like it if:
◼ Do you like isekai
◼ You don't like to think, or you don't want to do it
◼ If you just want something to kill some time
You will not like it:
◼ If you are looking for a deep story with development and intrigue
◼ If you have expectations
◼ You like that anime stand out for a "star" genre (Everything here is "meh")

This would have been alright, but it becomes too derailed towards the end. Especially considering how nice the initial setting is. They eventually introduce some interesting elements and characters that would have made for a great overall story, but these show up way too late in the season for it to matter. My guess is they're a set-up for a second season, HOWEVER those aren't enough to circumvent a fatal flaw in the plot - the clones.
At a certain point in the story, the main character decides to create a clone of himself to take his place and do the things he doesn't want to do (like go to school). Except this clone doesn't want to do those things either, but to makes things worse, the clone doesn't have any of the overpowered abilities as the main character. The reason this sucks, is b…

English: My experience was bad. Despite not reaching the point of abandoning it, the plot and the main character contributed to a constant feeling of boredom. The protagonist, far from embodying the desired qualities in an isekai, seems to resent every aspect of the adventure, from fighting to simple work or study. The plot, which promised a lot with typical elements of reincarnation, broken powers, and difficult missions, failed to fulfill any of its promises.
One of the few redeeming aspects was the occasional entertainment provided by images during pauses. However, the overall humor left much to be desired. Secondary characters, on the other hand, lacked depth and did not contribute or detract from the overall experience. The lack of richness in their integration into the "team" (if it…

At it's core Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita is yet another isekai with overpowered protagonist that hides his power for whatever reason. Overused setting can be a bad thing if it repeats cliches or is generally just a reskin of same old thing. But in my opinion this anime doesn't fall under those, so judging it purely on the fact that it's isekai or has OP MC would be unfair.
Overall, Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita is on lighter side. There is no drama, conflicts get resolved very quickly. Art, from colors to characters designs, to their facial emotions, all seem aimed towards making this a comfy and cute type of show. On top of that I found comedy to be pretty decent and refreshing, with some nice parodies. Characters fit nicely too, with all of them being likeable and quirky but not exact…
