This show is frankly, uninspired. The story and plot itself is fine, nothing special, and could have been great in the right hand, but this just wasn't it.
The crux of the problem is the production quality. It's not the bottom of the barrel, but you can tell that there was neither effort nor care. The characters are cliche in dialog and emotion, the story felt more like a checklist of items to be done up to some specifications. Not a single ounce of care was put in to polish anything.
Characters were given barebone development. They're unrealistic, not even in the anime sense. Everything just felt forced and uncanny. Plots are just laid out one after another, even within its own plot. The tone of the production is a complete mismatch with the tone of the story. Every character acts with…

So we're into an anime set on the brink of major conflict and civil wars. Empires basically and all that jazz.
Into this world our MC, with a special skill to appraise people, manages to acquire George Prime as his first star of destiny and promptly follows that up with Jeane too. Oh wait that's Suikoden.
In hindsight yes that's kind of what it reminded me of personally. You've gained the ability to see peoples skills and acquire them as part of army to win the war. Not a lot of conflict in the first season of this anime itself as it spends most of the time in the recruitment phase and growing up.
Like many others I don't think it needed to be a Isekai as it doesn't take any advantage from that. It seems that's it's his older self that justifies his own justification that he just wants…

So, what’s the point of this anime show? Thing begin as a bog-standard isekai story, then develops into something truly remarkable from 2nd to 7th episodes, and then, the story goes downhill from 8th till the end of 12th episodes. Only at the last 5 minutes of the 12th episode they remember that was the story of the rise of a great leader, not the comic story of a socially awkward suck-up. When one looks at the progression of the anime, the story begins as any isekai, then develops into something that really touches the heart till the end of episode 7, and it’s downhill from there onwards, and that is truly puzzling. It is as if people who wrote great episodes between 2 and 8 seem to have suddenly left and another group that were told to write something comedic, with no point to prove, and…

This is one of the stories that shouldn't have been an isekai in the first place.
Who is our protagonist? a 35 year old man, who died while working overtime and was reborn as a young noble.
You would expect an MC with this backstory to be more mature, right? or atleast bring some knowledge from the previous world and apply it to his current life? no. Apparently, when he was reborn, his mentality was reset too. He acts like any other kid in a shounen. It's isekai for the sake of isekai
His bond with the other characters is nice to watch, and the politics can be interesting sometimes (Not all the time because, again, it's all his subordinates not him. He doesn't do anything besides use his bocchan cuteness to recruit strong people)
So, if this had been a normal historical-fantasy story,…

Classic Isekai premise, japanese salaryman dies due to stress and is reincarnated into a noble family. As the name implies, his unique "cheat skill" is that of appraisal: He can determine numerical values for the current and maximum capabilities of individuals in various aspects of life, mostly pertaining to personality traits and combat potential. It is not so much a cheat skill as a unique skill, and he cannot use it on himself.
As a noble, he proceeds to slowly accrue a valuable set of retainers and earn the respect of his subjects, family, retainers, and even other nobles. The main crux of the show is him dealing with political tensions and a brewing war. Watch the show for more details.
The show is a solid piece, and definitely has some interesting potential. There are a few concept…

I debated over giving this "Mixed" or "Not Recommended", but the fact that I basically was letting the last episode play through on secondary monitor while browsing the internet (I don't do that with good anime) to just "get it over with", made me re-think a lot about how I felt about this anime.
I will give this 5/10, mostly because I think it has some good parts, so you should watch it and make up your own mind, but still "Not Recommend" it to balance it out, cause I can.
And now, the extended edition of the review:

This is truly a departure from the other run-of-the-mill isekai anime--where the protagonist becomes overpowered with some ridiculous form of magic or strength. Here, the MC is not endowed with exceptional power, strength, or magic; rather, his single and only power is the ability to "appraise" one another person's talent.
(Of course, do not worry, as it is not a spoiler since this gets revealed right at Episode 1.)
The narrative instills the action of how the MC deploys his subtle skill into a bright and strategic move, surviving in a world full of political friction and war. Instead of brute force, he proves himself worthy with intelligence, planning, and talent scouting.
What makes it unique is the fresh way that it takes - this is not your traditionally…

Tensei Kizoku, Kantei Skill de Nariagaru had no right to be an Isekai anime, his reincarnation served no purpose to the plot and I think actually detracted from the story itself, if this was actually about a 12 year old in a fantasy world having to step up after the untimely demise of his father and using the skills he has to prevail I think it would've been quite a good show, but every time you remember Ars is actually forty-seven mentality and not twelve, well it will really make you think what the eff am I watching. There are literal children in world and amongst his retainers that act with more maturity and common sense than your forty seven year old MC.

There is technically a plot, but there is hardly conflict and no surprises. Everything is resolved exactly as the MC wants it with no challenge. It feels like the plot was written with "and then" repeatedly. The characters are largely shallow with only a single dimension to them. A smart character. A strong mage. The fighter. That and the fact that they all love the MC.
The MC has no real personality. Just a plain person with an overpowered ability and being born rich enough to use their op skill to amass power
Oh and there a bunch of side characters that show up for one episode, do nothing, try to make us care about them and then just disappear forever.
The animation feels cheap and stilted. Many of the action scenes are just shaking still images with sound.

A wise man once said,
"We have more military power and money than them."
BUT
"That doesn't mean much if the one leading them is incompetent."
Guess who ;). Aside from this very obvious part that everybody keeps complaining about, I really love the uniqueness of this anime.
It kind of reminded me of another isekai anime of a guy who have no powers but only OpP because he is a great commander (psst he have a smartphone that check soldier stuff...)
Going back I hopr the author allow all this childishness and immaturity to happen only to build him up.
This story is promising I look forward to how it will develop.

I've watched dozens of isekai anime and read even more, and this series feels like a rare gem. Although it starts a bit slowly, it truly finds its stride around episode six. It’s actually more of an anti-isekai: rather than showcasing an overpowered protagonist dominating a new world, it’s about how a group of people grow stronger together, with the protagonist acting as the unifying force. The focus is on human connection rather than individual ego.
The music is wonderful, and the emotional scenes hit deeply. I agree with some of the genre criticisms, though. This isn't so much an isekai or even an adventure series; it feels more like a character-driven drama set in a fantasy world. The fact that the protagonist comes from another world feels completely forgotten. More early emphasis on…

“As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World”(aka Kanseiskill), I guess short titles are out of fashion, is what happens when You play pokemon with black jack and whoo… I mean… with people.
This show at first glance has a unique twist on the isekai genre in the form that our MC isn’t a walking apocalypse capable of one-shotting entire battalions of enemies. I say “at the first glance” because despite the fact he has no combat skills he is absolutely capable of one-shotting entire battalions, just not in the “normal” way. I’ll get to that.
Before we start I would like to explain something. I will be talking about “plot” and “story”. Many people use those terms interchangeably. I’m not one of those people, so to make sure everyone is on the same page…

Welcome to another episode of: Why the HELL is this isekai?
Let me preface by saying it's a fantastic series, but let's talk about what's the main point of an Isekai anime. It's to utilize the knowledge from our world in a more permeative setting, thus bringing unlikely scenarios like pitching a dragon against a rocket launcher. If we take out the first minute of the first episode, this anime has ZERO isekai elements attached to it and becomes a relatively decent low fantasy story.
Recently the concept of Isekai has been reduced to either:
1. Gain some bullshit OP ability that nobody else in the world have.
2. "Wow everything works just like a video game!" with the more stupid ones even having the HUDs and skill points.
3. They just want to have isekai in the title, nothing the MC does d…

I really don't understand why people keep giving such low ratings to anime like this one, and at the same time one of the most boring anime ever produced, like Sousou no Frieren, is currently Top 1.
Reincarnated Aristocrat is just good. The main idea is very similiar to Realist Hero, Genius Prince, Finest Assassin, Slime, Overlord. (watch these last five if you haven't yet).
It's a political world buildind show where, instead of the MC being OP or a smart genius, he's a normal person reincarneted with one simple but useful ability: detect people's talent.
He'll recruit raw diamonds people, warrior, magician, strategy 1, strategy 2, diplomatic etc to surrond himself with valuable and loyal individuals that will help his small feud thrive during times of was and turbolence.

Reincarnated Aristocrat is a fantasy isekai with pretty good production values and some interesting worldbuilding, but ultimately doesn't achieve much in its short runtime.
Animation / Art / General Visuals - 7/10
-----------------------------------------------
While there aren't any really flashy animations, the base quality of the art and basic animations is above average. As the show isn't overly combat heavy, the lack of good combat animations aren't too much of a negative.
Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 8/10 ------------------------------------------
Good OP and some good thematic orchestral tunes elevate the experience quite a bit.
Story - 6/10
-------------

Great premise and definitely has some fun moments. Biggest problem is that the writing is not good, so it ends up very mid.
-He is reincarnated with his memories, but this never affects his new life at all. He thinks and acts as his new age 100% of the time. He either needed a memory wipe or drop the reincarnation angle all together.
-Some of the dialogue is just cringe and makes the MC seem incompetent, but then there are also times where it lands quite well.
-MC barely progresses, but not a big negative as he has outsourced this to his retainers.
-A lot of unneeded fanservice, but some of it was actually quite funny.
-Basic plot that you can see coming from miles and miles away. If you aren't too critical, you can enjoy the journey there though.

Imma say it, Kanseiskill is quite bad. Most people seemed to have dismissed it as a 'It was a pretty good anime, different from the usual isekai trash', but I beg to differ, while risking this being my longest and most garbage review, hear me out. The story follows a 35 years old npc who died and is now reincarnated as an aristocrat with an advanced stat viewer. The premise has promise, for the first few episodes, I went in with the 'let them cook' mentality. The MC isn't a dense, self insert, OP fucktard who goes 'Whoopsie daisy, did I do something :0?', after firing a spell strong enough to wipe out a city. The MC doesn't have a harem of one dimensional girls reassuring him at every step, craving the gear stick and emphasizing how 'kind' he is every single fucking episode. The MC is not…

With so many reincarnated as a noble style shows coming out every season, it’s always nice to get one that does things differently. Instead of focusing on the usual OP MC fighting demon king army trope, Kantei skill focuses on nation building through the recruitment of talented individuals whom society has discarded. As someone who loves politics and public policy, I found this to be a very refreshing watch and it ended up being one of my favourite shows of the season.
The main selling points for me with this series are the characters who are all very well written due to them being the focus of the story as well as the political intrigue. Ars forsees his family domain and nation falling due to political unrest caused by ill qualified leaders, a message that hits a little too close to home…

Kanteiskill follows a 35-year-old businessman from modern Japan who reincarnates as the young master Ars Louvent of a noble family. In the territory ruled by his family's patriarch Raven Louvent, war is brewing as the Emperor of the Sammaforth Empire loses faith in his people, instigating uprisings among neighboring factions. Feeling inclined to help his family succeed on the frontlines, Ars uses his unique skill, Appraisal, to find hidden talents regardless of race, upbringing, or background. How will Ars' journey unfold?
Story & Character: 6/10
The story starts out as a typical fantasy isekai where the main character gains a cheat skill, but what stands out in this series is its journey. We follow Ars as he begins gathering promising individuals in his resistance against opposing facti…

As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World - What part of this show presents Nagoya to the rest of Japan and the world? I'm kind of baffled by the decision to insert an Isekai work into a programming block that detracts from its vision and mission.
I love niche anime when presented right, but sometimes people just love to get redundant things placed into a category that doesn't fit the purpose that it serves. Case in point, the brand new Agaru Anime programming block that's primarily catered to works representing Aichi Prefecture's city of Nagoya (of which one of Japan's longest running series of Kinnikuman (which is having a sequel anime next season) would fit this to a T), a joint effort from Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting a.k.a CBC TV (that resides in sai…
