| Not a source reader, but I don't think it was bad at all, the plot was interesting and fun and (spoilers for anyone who hasn't watched S1 bc people say it's crap but is thinking about checking it out now) There's also cute, colorful character designs and some cool architecture in the world so I'd say it was a perfectly fine adaption, definitely not the trash most say it is. Honestly, OP, people just be hating because it's an isekai. It's rare that an isekai doesn't get hate. Considering the cliffhanger, I'm glad about a S2. In terms of there being a LN, I think you're actually better off not reading and comparing. That way you can watch S2 and just decide for yourself if it's good (as an anime) because, like you said, you thought S1 was okay. It's a-okay to stray from the majority opinion, it's not like you have to dislike it even if a LN reader said it strayed significantly from the source / sucked / whatever. Let's just hope the best for S2, no rushed money-grubbing or anything like that. Certainly didn't seem that way in S1. |

rishdafish08 said: For me, I really like it at the start cuz I thought the mc was cool and op. And then I realised how fucking generic everything in this was. I really hate it but the problem isn't the anime adaptation (the art was pretty good), no, it is the generic story and the generic characters. This comment is basically what I was going to post. Anime ended up wasting it's potential as it started off interesting, main character was pretty op from he start but had issues strength couldn't fix but after he left the city it turned into a generic power fantasy anime where everything goes right for the MC, Oh he found his little sister from another world, Oh he has an OP spirit inside of him, oh he's actually royalty... and all of of this without a single bit of adversity it became boring really quickly to me because the show doesn't actually want anything bad to happen to the MC who is already basically the perfect niceguy protagonist means character growth is already out the window. |

Gabbar101 said: OK so to ln reader's I want to ask was it's season 1 adaptation that bad I mean I know it felt rushed but because of that it kept my interest as it does not get boring and kept me hooked. So do they skip some major stuff, if not than I think it was a decent adaptation. It is not bad. It may look bad to a source reader. It is really colorful and the characters and story are fine. It is not boring like other isekai but still its not the best. |
| I thought it was okay overall, the pacing was definitely too fast, iirc they adapted 4 volumes. They also did this odd thing where they skipped one volume and adapted the one after, then ended the season on a cliffhanger which was the beginning of the volume they skipped. What made this worth watching for me was the art, music etc, everything just felt clean and was presented really well. Unfortunately the story and characters themselves didn't live up to those standards in my opinion... but that's not the anime's fault. It was a decent adaptation I think. |

| Not really tbh. As someone who've read the novels I was actually surprised how well the anime did. Yes they have cut down a lot of the world building from the source material but If you ask me thats for the better considering how painfully slow the first few volumes of this series. The only regrettable thing they did is that they only glossed over the magic in this world leaving many questions behind, but anime onlys prolly wont mind those thing so its all good in the end. Here's my rating for the arcs School (vol1) - decent, some world building aspect were removed but still watchable Spirit Village (vol2) - horrible, they neglected magic in the anime so anything relating to Rio's growth was cut off Yagumo (vol3) - surprisingly good, I've actually enjoyed the anime ver of this Cecilia rescue (vol5) - okay-ish, there were weird things that doesn't really make any sense because theyve skipped the Hero summoning (vol4) |

| As a source reader, I'd say it was fine. They cut out some important bits of info, except then they decided to cram it in super quickly at the end, (saving his childhood friend, hero summoning, etc). Anyone actually invested in the novels might argue the anime adaptation was bad, but I don't think the ln's were amazing to begin with, I think both were just fairly interesting. In fact, I'd say the anime's pace was better than the light novels though. 16 volumes in, and there's barely been any real development with any of the heroine's or the overall plot. And it did have that nice sakuga for that last episode climax fight, so yeah, it was more or less a 'good adaptation' of an alright ln. |

| Personally I think the anime quite good but the pacing is too fast from LN PoV. Idk, I haven't picked up the novels. But I'm looking forward for S2. Celia sensei is cute af |

| As Light Novel reader i think it doing well in adapting to anime format. Rio look like Kitiro OP Harem God |

_____dom_____ said: Show was better than I expected. Was going to read the novels but decided to wait for a second season before I did. Glad. There are differences between the light novel and anime. In light novel, Rio saved Miharu and the Sendou siblings before Celia. Aishia appears in the rock house, seen by Miharu. In anime, Rio saved Celia before Miharu and the Sendou siblings. Aishia appears in the Spirit Folk Village, seen by the spirit folks. And Rio has more difficulties escaping with Celia in the light novel. In the anime, Rio only need to fight off Alfred. In light novel, Rio fights off Alfred and another person, who I will not name due to spoilers, but he is one of the strongest characters in the series. My advice is to read the light novel and watch the anime and decide which one you prefer. I will not judge until I see the anime season 2 on how they work out on the differences in LN and anime. Well, Amande Invasion arc will be probably in season 2, it is really good in the light novel. And poor Flora. :( |

| To most it's generic but really when did we start calling generic tropes generic? The fact this genre is so famous means it's successful generic or not the diversity of Isekai in terms of story and characters are vast and plenty, there are still so many Isekai LNs and Manga out there with all sorts of different plays and I enjoy this Isekai generic it may seem to others or not, I found this adaption to be quite good, sure it looks weird at some parts but it's certainly not a money-grubbing project, I liked this show, and I hope it continues until it outsource it's source material. |

Hey, as a LN reader I do recommend you di keep watching or even read the LN. The anime doesn't adapt it that well but basically the LN claerly focusses more on the thoughts and feelings of the characters. In the following I would not say that I included spoiler but rather explain the story that has been adapted but I added what was ridden in the LN. The character does not want anyone to get close to him.. he actually is really conflicted between his Japanese ideals and his Rio personality. In the first chapter of the LN he talks about taking revenge. In the anime it doesnot hey touched upon but in the LN he consistently thinks he does not deserve connections. In the anime I think it was Ulma mentioned that he doesn't call her by her first name even though they knew each other. In the LN Rio thinks he should not get closer to her since he is a piece of trash as he wants to kill his mother's murderer while she instead is a wonderful person. This also continues in the village of gjs dad. The girl (forgot her name) asks to join him. In anime he immediately denies her in the LN he also is conflicted. At this point he slowly started to notice that other people care about him, but he does not want that. He instead thinks he is trash and does not deserve that others care about him. Anyways the LN mainly deals with his conflicting thoughts. I highly recommend you to keep watching/reading. Just about to arrive home so i have to stop writing everyone I wish you a happy Christmas Lol Merry Christmas, I appreciate your comment but internal conflict isn't really what I was hoping for, everything just goes too well for him after he leaves the city that I lost interest, if it was a chill slice of life anime that would be fine but it's an action adventure anime there should be actual stakes and challenges for him to overcome that aren't solved instantly. Anyway I'll probably watch the next season if there isn't too else much I want to watch. |

| It was average people don't hate it just because it's an isekai (although I am sure that's part of it) I distinctly remember how often the 2D animation was wonky as shit and characters despite being well designed looked off model. That being said the latter can be said for a lot of anime especially nowadays, just an average isekai right down to its animation. |
 |
| A bit bad if you will ask me. the last 3 episodes are rushed but I really liked this show from the start. It's just that it felt unnatural and rushed at the end. |
 |
| I liked it, it’s not a masterpiece but kept me entertained for a few hours. I’ll watch the 2nd season |
| Above average, the animation was acceptable, some side characters (like in a lot of these type of shows) felt like NPCs, they skipped most of volume 4 and a bit of volume 3 as well. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this anime. I have not read the light novels but the anime did not seem bad to me. Maybe people go in with too high of expectation? |
