Everyone is impressed, everyone heaps praises on Shin, etc. This entire episode was basically dedicated to showing off how amazing and utterly powerful Shin was. But damn is Shin edging dangerously close to being a Gary Stu. I don’t like calling characters Mary Sues/Gary Stus because of how overused those terms are. God, where do I even start on this mess of an anime. Possibly my two least favorite types of plot. I also cannot believe this is not only a, “character gets reincarnated into a fantasy world” anime but it is also simultaneously a “magic academy for magical teenagers” anime. So guess what this entire first episode was. There’s nothing I hate more in anime first episodes than lengthy exposition fests and dozens of characters being introduced all at once. Shin easily beats up the thugs, and then falls head over heels for a girl with blue hair. He eventually comes across some thugs trying to do questionable things to a pair of girls. I’m far more interested in Merlin and Melida tbhĪfter Shin moves into the city (with his “grandparents” Merlin and Melida), Shin goes sightseeing on his own. So Diseum suggests that Shin enroll in a magic academy to both learn more about the world, and to make friends with people his age. His honorary “uncle,” Diseum, is rightfully worried that such a powerful but naive young man would upset the balance of power.
While he is even more powerful now than when he was a kid, he lacks knowledge in basic skills (such as buying things with money) and social skills. He looks… genericĪt age 15, Shin has officially entered manhood (by this world’s standards). Even more surprisingly, Shin has a natural talent for magic and fighting and is able to take down a powerful demon by himself at the young age of 10. Surprisingly, Shin still holds some memories of his past life. After being hit by a truck and killed, he is reborn in a fantasy world and is raised by a powerful magician named Merlin Wolford. Shin used to be your average overworked salaryman… in his past life. I’d actually be way more interested in a show focusing on a kid with magical powers but nah, this show has yet another teenage protagonist.
