First episode leaked by Crunchyroll...

Main guy had skills of a merchant before his life changes. Typical isekai stuff except he's also treated as too ordinary because of his level. There's catch with the show's leveling system so they're playing it off that gimmick. Fenrys is also introduced and I expect a good portion of the show to be focused on her and Filo.

Funny how she turned from innocent to a monster in just a flash.

It's not just the affair of Crunchyroll's leaks, the Puerto Rico anime con is to blame.

But getting into the show, Miya Kinojo's series does play against it when it comes to the title, it's just that obvious of a ridicule of standard Isekai/fantasy elements known all too well.


Merchant Banaza (honestly just call him Banana) having to deal with both humans and demihumans, the prejudice of dealing with the latter is one, but being summoned to the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode as the 198th hero candidate, an Isekai fantasy within a fantasy, who may have no Divine Revelation, he's just like any lukewarm forgotten summoned hero who just wants to get back home. But the blunder of the kingdom has him being sent off to Delaveza Forest with an NDA forbidden treatment of leaking their mistake. At the very least, both humans and demihumans live alongside each other, so that's not bad at all. The gimmick, however, is with Banaza gaining to Lv2 and earning rather OP skills from the get-go...it's no different from starting out at Lvl 1 and doing the same thing.

Turns out, Banaza's OP skill just did eliminate the Dark Army while not killing monsters with infinite powers, eh, everything is easy-peasy for Banaza at this point. All he needs to do now is to feign an alias under a different name (Filo) and go on quests...until he spots a girl wanting to go to the forest. Of course, all of his magic is overpowered in the guise of looking average, enough to attract the attention of a few adventurers. But the young girl being a target for anyone going to the Delaveza Forest to see the Dark Army, she is no mere simpleton: the lupine Fenrys of the Infernal Four.

Yep, essentially everything in the standard generic Isekai story is all here and done before. What's new? The fact that J.C.Staff has the same couple VA pairings of ToraDora, Shakugan no Shana and even Zero no Tsukaima, now that's intention.

... I'm not the only one who wishes MC had stayed as a girl, right?

Every year, the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode calls upon numerous heroes from diverse realms to join their battle against the nefarious Dark One and his formidable army of demons. Among these heroes is Banaza, hailing from the Royal Capital Paluma. However, there's a glaring anomaly—Banaza, a mere merchant, lacks any magical prowess or combat skills, and his abilities are woefully inadequate. To compound matters, a misfortune renders him unable to return home. Deemed unworthy as a hero and abandoned in a foreign world, Banaza finds himself cast aside to the fringes of the kingdom by a callous king intent on his removal. His prospects appear grim indeed.

The idea isn't new, but it's daring. Instead of a high schooler, we have a fantasy guy transported to another world. His stats going infinitely high is a first for me. I'm curious why he didn't use purification, but using all his spells is cool. They must be summoning a lot if they're doubling up. Finding out the cute wolf girl is a powerful demon was surprising, but losing her cuteness is sad. Maybe she can turn back, but being a murderous demon takes away from her charm.

That title is a big fat lie. He was level 2 for a sec, then bam, he's over 350 just by cleaning up the forest.

I feel like this shitty level design is actually realistic. Start with normal stats, level up once, activate infinite mode.

The tsundere queen back in action, how much have I missed her.

As for the episode, was your average isekai fantasy but there are cute girls. The blonde knight specially. Kugimiya Rie's voicing the loli so that's a plus too.

Yet another leaked generic isekai, but with the twist that this actually seems watchable. Dare I say - it may even be decent. The tf scene was pretty unexpected, though welcome.

Zero no Tsukaima duo lol, and that's pretty much it.. the VA's. The show itself is something we could say we have already seen the likes of million times, but then again, even they knew it... the advocate of such shows, JC Staff.

Hope I could at least make it to the halfway point if nothing.

At first I legitimately thought this was the second season to the Isekai pharmacy slow life anime and they were finally showing how he got isekaied: the MC looks almost exactly like that guy grew his hair out a bit and the wolf girl like she grew up.

bro boutta wipe the entire forest kek

or not since the wolf has the same name of the second character listed as main in the anime info

so I guess demons are the good guys in this story, not surprising since the human king is EVIL, and he chose a fool for his hero

anyway title is fraudulent he stayed level 2 for less than a minute, with that purification spell he mopped the floor with square kilometers of magical beasts, anime is officially level 367 cheat skill now

I bet the fool hero stats will stay defaulted at 999 no matter his level, also I bet he is actually super weak bc they are .999 actually, would be funny if true lol

I dropped the manga after seeing the infinity symbols in his stats... let's see how they adapt this story.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

i usually have fun with almost every isekai, but this one is a little too much...
i mean, kill 3 slimes and become the strongest person in the universe, it's a little too farfetched LOL

the wolf girl too... i understand her trying to kill the other 4 who tried to attack her, but mc was literally the only one who was trying to help her, she could at least spare him... whatever, fuck this episode

i won't add it to my drop list yet, but i'll decide when ep2 comes if i even feel like watching it ...
maybe it gets better after as someone said before me
oh yeah, having tsundeRie as a voice surely makes it watchable, i take back what i said :D

Not that I"m trying to defend the show, but I feel like you missed something. She wasn't actually seeking help. She was trying to trick adventurers into accompanying so she could literally feed them to the demon army.

Very much your typical generic Isekai. The plot and setting are introduced very quickly and the mc gets op even quicker. We the get introduced to his potential harem and main love interest, depending on how the anime develops. It's looking to be one of the better fantasy Isekai/reincarnation trash of the season. Looking forward to episode 2.

This is what happens when we rely on numbers too much 😆 Now that he has infinite stats, I feel sorry for the king as he will have a hard time figuring out how to reconcile with Flio and try to get him back as surely the Blonde Hero will fail hard on his role.

Anyway, this anime adaptation really feels nostalgic, but only because the main voice actors are both legendary seiyuus and some of you should be familiar with them, Hino Satoshi (Overlord's Ainz) and Kugimiya Rie (ToroDora's Taiga) as they have been paired together in lots of animes in the early 2000s like 'Shakugan no Shana' and the isekai anime 'Zero no Tsukaima', among others. It's been a while since they've been both cast together as mains and not to mention that this is adapted from a pretty decent light novel (manga adaptation is pretty nice too), so this might just be a sort of ride down the memory lane. Let's hope JC Staff does a good job on this one.

@Paulternative well I agree but he is already from some other fantasy world like I don’t expect him to understand that he is the most powerful man in the world now but at least some kind of logical reasoning’s needed to be appear especially after peoples reaction . He just didn’t think once somehow

So, as a manga reader, I was waiting for this one impatiently, and I must say that so far I'm very satisfied with the adaptation: the characters act, talk and move as I imagined them and the show seems to have very decent production (music, voice acting, animation) values from what I can tell.
It felt great seeing Balirosa, the king's daughter, that nasty blond hero... and all of them being animated!
The only 'bad' thing for me in this first episode is that we have to wait one more week to see more of Fenrys, and of Flio's powers :)

One thing that hit me as pretty unique when I read the manga was how this is an isekai but from one fantasy world to another fantasy world.
I don't think I ever seen it done before (or I did and I forgot about it maybe).
In a way that makes it a little bit complicated because you learn stuff about two differents fantasy worlds at the same time.

I'm pretty certain this will be a very fun show for me.
Expecting more action, but also a lot of slice of life, romance and comedy :)
