OP with handicaped looks.

 Compared to other isekai, comedy plays the main role in this show. So whatever happens in the story the conclusion will never appear. Our ML is manly enough, the females are cute enough and the story is a sandbox.

 Although we do get the information to why he needs to be isekaied but it got dejected early on what gives him the possibility to freely explore the world while expanding his influence on the world itself. Of course we have a hidden love plot in the case of a girl who got dejected by our ML before the transportation, accidenticaly the same girl was choosen as the next hero by the goddess. So i guess U can figure it out, bcs our ML feels bad about the rejection. Beside that the main issue of his existence is the Goddess, she finds him ugly and irritaiting. What makes it even more troublesome is his development. At some spot he might rise as a threat to her. So the endboss is set early on.

I do think it's one of the better ones in case of Animation. It's almost vivid and fluent. The dialogues are thorough characterised as to give the feeling of japanese style. Sounds like 'haiku' to me at some spots what differs it from the manga adaptation. So there is effort behind the script in the anime.

The Sound, it's ok. Epic attacks have a good vibe and bass level, every Voice Actor/ess sound good.

The Story, yeah. It's a very god isekai with some originality, IF U are into isekai. 

To sum it up. It's definetly a decent anime with some good stuff. The additional work compared to the manga earned my respect. You should at least give it a try.

SO... This is basically the Slime anime but worse. The premise and quite a few story elements are exactly like Slime.

  • Both heroes are in an Isekai, where he is perceived as a monster.
  • Both wear masks to hide their face
  • Both have magical artifacts equipped to hide their enormous mana/magical energy.
  • Both MC encounters an all-powerful Dragon, and form some sort of pact with the Dragon.
  • Both MC decide to start a monster Village
  • Highland Orc Village for Tsukimichi - Goblin Village for Slime
  • Both have MC giving names to monsters
  • Giving names to monsters drastically increases their strength

Following this, we just end up as generic Isekai / Harem anime. The MC here saves girls and of course, all the women find him very attractive. MC uses his magic OP powers to solve all the problems.

Look this is TRASH but it has some fun elements to it. Some interesting characters and the direction of the story is unique enough to keep your interest. The whole idea of a demi-plane subspace is unique. Watch it for what it is, A Trash Isekai Anime.

It has weird anime girls forcing themselves on the MC just because he's OP troupe. If you don't like that, just skip this one.

So far the MC doesn't have a loli child bride in his harem. So I guess that is now considered a plus point in anime.

UPDATE:

My sincere apologies for my initial review. I had initially accused this anime of being a rip-off of "That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime" But have now realized that was completely wrong. Tsukimichi came out 1 year before Slime and honestly at this point you could argue that the plagiarism was the other way around.

Isekai anime/light novels have been copying others so much recently that I falsely assumed that was the case with Tsukimichi.

Consider that this light novel is from 2012 and is not a rip-off of Slime. I have removed all accusations of Plagiarism and have updated the score to better suit the story. That being said this is still an Isekai anime something that we have seen time and time again. And despite it being an OG LN it still is not anything to write home about.

Most underrated isekai of the year, it may seem like a generic series at the start BUT DO NO BE FOOLED. The story improves a lot and im sure ppl who have dropped it at the beginning have missed a gem (s2 is confirmed)

idk what all the hate is, i found this isekai much better than so many other trashy isekais out there, ig maybe cause it failed somewhat in the comedic art idk. i had very low hopes for it at the start so maybe that's why i found this show quite good.
( ig that's how you enjoy a series, by keeping your expectations low. If you keep your expectations too high, you will ALWAYS find faults)
its comedic timing is terrible at times but it's pretty decent. not bad not very excellent but it's just about hovering above the "very good" line.

Do watch it, would surely go for a rewatch in the future.

A Great anime in the isekai and fantasy genre. Likable and kinda unique characters, smooth animation, interesting story, good pace and development. Well done in many aspects. You mustn't miss it if you like isekai animes too.

Dearly hope for more seasons though! It got so much potential.

This is in the morning as I wake up so my review won't be very high quality, so I'll try to just list some problems rather than trying to go on a full review. Mildly spoiler-ish but not really? The plot is largely boring and loosely connected so there's not much to spoil anyway.

He projects so much mana that people fear him so hemust wear mana absorbing items, but they aren't strong enough, and somehow the people don't run in fear still? There are many other inconsistencies as well.

He and his companions have enough strength to control the entire world. There is quite literally no problem they ever have to face. They conveniently run into ingredients they need without even trying, no enemy is strong enough to stand up to even one of them, and the enemies never try anything clever to overcome the power gap.

It falls into the trap that literally every piece of media falls into by assuming that warriors are meant to be strong fighting on their own. Maybe that's true when you're level 1400, but combat in groups is meant to focus on how the group can act as a unit. It's an overdone cliche that I just hate seeing. The average warriors of the illusory city should not be trained by a dragon that only fights on its own.

And of course the only people he personally interacts with are women. He even gets debt prisoners who are in and out of the show in a blink. 

Overall I'd say this show is believably bad, but not unbelievably so. It's a brainless power fantasy isekai with the entire world designed to cater towards this one child. I'd say it's almost as bad as The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar, but at least it doesn't look or sound horrible. I can hope the last few episodes make up for it, but anyone who's seen even the first episode knows exactly how this will go.
