Wise Man’s Grandchild - Recommendations

HmsDawnga says...

Mhmmm both are 100% same although i prefer kenja no mago over the 8th son coz kenja no mago have better fan service and likeable characters also to mention that the fights are pretty epic even more than the cgi dragon

LailanD says...

Both have main character male. Both the MC are reincarnated into a noble family. Both of the MC are a pro magic user. Both of the MC have girls hanging around.

CarlTheJarl says...

Both are isekai that focus on a mage guenius that got reincarnated to a noble family. In both stories the MC gets his own harem.

mesanator says...

Both are overworked white collar gets reincarnated as a boy in fantasy world. The MCs are practically the same: plain, boring, and OP. The isekai works only as a transportation method of MC to new world, not much after. 

Mistfall says...

Both shows are Isekai where main hero is OP magician.In both they somewhat struggle with new world mentality and are dragged to politics due to their powers.

IzumiSam99 says...

Both animes have strong OP main characters, in fact, the MC is so overpowered after getting isekaied that side characters become irrelevant and yet The storyline remains captivating.   

NioAkumu says...

Both are set in a magic world.

Maincharacters are overpowered and do not hide the fact.

yugoprowers says...

They both find a way to take an already over-loaded genre (Isekai), and give a little depth to it. While there is no herm in Wiseman's Grand Child, they do share a lot in common. I just hope they both get a 2nd season.

zen1214 says...

i liked that both were fantasy and isekai anime although i prefer the 8th son better then the wise mans child both give me the excitement and thrill to get me hooked to the series i with there were more or even another season to tidy the ends up

kieras says...

they're both shit lol, that was all i was gonna say but i have to have 100 characters. I don't like either of them, both tacky and fall into the same genre of easy to finish villains and characters in love w the lead

something548 says...

Yeah the person who wrote the previous review is correct even the main character is a cardboard cutout of a personality 

chash says...

BOTH ARE ISEKAI GENRE WITH OP MC IF IT IS IN YOUR TASTE ANF THEY HAVE THEIR COUNTERPARTS WELL WRITTEN BUT TO BE SAID THEY HAVE ONLY ONE SEASON SO I THINK IT WILL BE BEST FOR NEWCOMERS IN ISEKAI GENRE

MidnightLace says...

• Both MCs are taken from our world and brought to a world filled with magic and monsters. 
• Both are overpowered and they are one of, if not, the best magicians in their world. 
• The MCs are bad at reading social cues, and tend to misunderstand/be misunderstood because of their high magical aptitude. 
• Both have a group of loyal and amazing people around them, which provide hilarious comedic moments. 
• Both have a somewhat similar social status, between noble and common, but never truly born into nobility. 

TheSupremeOne says...

These two animes are pretty similar. The protagonist of In Another world with my Smartphone dies in the real world after being accidentally killed by God. Then the God reincarnates him to another world of magic. In Wise Man's Grandchild the protagonist too dies in a road accident. Unlike the first one he reincarnates in a magical world as a child. Soon after they make friends and relationship with the residents there. They both hold tremendous amount of proficiency in magic. They also have affinity in all sorts of magical elements. 

Crua9 says...

Both shows are similar in how someone is brought to another world after death. And the other world had some mid evil setting with kings. Both didn't have moderen tech like cars. And both the person brought knowledge with them from their other world.

The difference is Wise Man's actually treats the gifted stuff as a possible danger, and not everyone really gets along. While the Smartphone show kinda doesn't take itself all that seriously, and things like war isn't really talked about or shown.

It should be noted that Smartphone show has a bunch of lolis around the main person, where everyone in the Wise Man is his age or older.

Pandas2004 says...

They are both great anime's with an overpowered male mc. The main characters have no trouble solving problems, and are great with their magic. Anyone who likes thragic genre, will love these.

sandbecca says...

If you like one. i can almost say you will like the other two 100%. Both is very alike but also unik in its own way. both have te tema "person in a other world and Fantacy".

ChrisJudge says...

If you like one you are almost guaranteed to like the other. Both involve the main character in a fantasy world with magic powers with unknowable limits, surrounded by a medium to large group of friends, not to mention both have good romance

AnimeKing200 says...

Both are kinda magical, well Wise Man's Grandchild def is, but the other one is kinda, not too much like "OMG INCREDIBLE" magic, but it's still really good & there is magic, interesting plot too, recommend!

Grizz says...

If you want generic overpowered main character isekai anime, these fit the bill to the letter.                            

latias78904 says...

They r very similar. Is there more to say? I mean, just look at them. Rebirth(ish), OP MC, and reverse harem all combined into 2 amazing anime.

abhiwow says...

both are reincarnation and well satisfying stories 

i recommnd them to every                     one...........................................................................................................

deomicgod says...

if you like a dense op main character these two anime will definitely keep you engaged. its fun to watch both mc being op right from the start and surprising everyone with their capabilites.

BriceRoyale says...

Have you rececntly realized that you may be Isekai Trash? Don't worry me too!

Of the recent Isekai's, I believe that Ernesti's personality, mentaility, and general outlook of the world feels most similar to Shin's. Both shows do set up the stage for some kind of vilain that may be a thorn in main-OP-protagkun's side, but it never feels like there is any danger in the process. 

The main characters of each show also have similar sets of relationships between close friends and members of the upper class that usually just serve to portray how dense our protaggonists are.

As far as the long-term state of the stories post-show (manga and LN), Kenja no Mago develops into a more mature story with a few more questionable themes while Knights and Magic continues down a similar trajectory.

irb0red says...

Isekai where the main characters are OP because they still kind of remember their previous lives

MrFad says...

The main character in this anime is very smart person who can make something amazing that make them over power and the story is not only fun but also easy to understand.

foltor says...

"Isekai in name only." In both of these series, the MC dies in modern Japan and is reincarnated into a human baby in a fantasy world with only limited memories of their former life. If you'd just started in the fantasy world and said the MC had a natural intuitive genius for the sciences, it wouldn't make a difference to the plot. The fact that this kid is 'actually from a different world' is irrelevant and a waste of time.

So the MC goes forth with his grasp of the sciences to become an OP prodigy, revolutionizing the art of magic and/or magitech, gaining boon companions and love interests, and fending off threats to the kingdom.

Knight's & Magic is mostly mecha focused and gets abit into the engineering and materials science of the fantasy world. Wise Man's Grandchild is darker in theme and deals with more stereotypical fantasy wizardry.

ChrisJudge says...

It has the same overpowered MC feeling that wise man's grandchild does and ernesti always makes everyone else's brains just fizzle just like Shin does in Wise Man's Grandchild

Queen209 says...

In both animes the main character is reincarnated in a word of magic and is overpowered from a young age. They both make friends that accompany them on their journey to save the world. They both help the king in defeating the nation's threats. They both surprise everyone with their magic that is out of this world. Both have similar comedies.

Whilst in Knights and Magic the main character is calm about everything, in Wise Man's Grandchild, the main character is completely dense.

Both animes are really fun to watch and keeps you laughing your ass off.

Btigger38 says...

this is a similar story to wiseman's grandchild except for the fact that this was more about  using infused mechs with magic.

Mistfall says...

Both stories are power fantasies. In both stories the main hero use his knowledge from this world to use magic more effectively in fantasy world.

TheSupremeOne says...

These two animes are pretty similar. The protagonist of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime dies in the real world after being stabbed by a criminal. In Wise Man's Grandchild the protagonist too dies in a road accident. They both reincarnate in another world where magic exists. Soon after they make friends and relationship with the residents there. They both hold tremendous amount of proficiency in magic. 

Hellburn says...

First of all they hay the same premise: character, okay in real life, dies and gets reborn in new universe;Second would be the fact that the main character seems OverPowered at the beginning of the series, although things change in the future (slime later, gradchild earlier);Third is the ideea that the main character does not believe himself to be as OP as others perceive him to be;4'th - while the story revolves arround the main character, at least untill "...Grandchild" 5th pisode, he does not seem to be the one moving the world arround (dunno about further);5'th reason would be that they are both fun to watch, relaxing and intriguing in the Isekai genre.

alp2va says...

Haven't seen much of Wise Man's Grandchild yet, but already it reminds me so much of Slime. Both involve a nobody reincarnated into a fantasy world and becoming overpowered. Both also involve a storyline that has quite a bit of mystery to it. Both even have their fair share of comedic and lighter moments to round out the action. I will admit that Slime is the better show, but I've been enjoying Wise Man's Grandchild so far and hope it stays good like Slime did

irb0red says...

If you like Isekai, you should watch That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

jiexi20 says...

Lets see um main protagonist dies gets reborn into a magical world and makes a name for himself one way or another.

TheQi2B says...

Death, reincarnation in another world with magic and adventure. OP main characters. Not entirely without insight while still being foolish.

Kumiikun says...

Both include a great protagonist with an attitude for helping other people, as well as having them go on an adventure as they build up a profile, get stronger, and build a group of reliable allies to follow them.

karanSaj says...

MC gets stuck in a game style fantasy world and has game based powers. He has no common sense of the world and is super OP. He goes on a adventure through the world and builds a harem along the way.

mesanator says...

the protagonist has basically the same character: is an overpowered dofus, kinda look the same too. From the standpoint of storyline, instead of getting stuck in a video game, the protagonist gets reborn in fantasy land... so basically the same. 

Bestanimeserie says...

Both shows feature overpowered main characters with a complete off-the-scale magic power. Where Death March does have a focus on side-characters, Wise man really doesn't. Furthermore, both feature plenty of Isekai tropes where they have no common sense and build up a harem along the way

Niviva says...

Both modest OP characters.(I MUSSSSSSSSST HIIIITTTTT THEEEE ONNNEHUNNNDRED CHARACTERSSSSSS)

ItsAkira says...

• Both animes include reincarnation.

Amineguide says...

RenKocho says...

The concept of the animes is the same. Both Isekai with op MCs with magic power above the rest with thoughts to help them in their adventures 

P47R0N says...

• both are  isekai
•  both have overpowered MC
• both have a more mature MC and not perving arround
• both fight an evil organization
• both have a love intrest for the MC 

Grizz says...

If you want generic overpowered main character isekai anime, these fit the bill to the letter.                            

Mistfall says...

Isekais with overpowered main character, dealing with powerful organization threatening the new world they are in.

ilyesniper20 says...

it's pretty much the same, only in WMGC the MC is not a maou "a demon lord" 

they both involve magic schools, new friends, overpower.

AnimeKing200 says...

REALLY AMAZING, HIGHLY RECCOMEND, THE PLOT TWISTS ARE SUPER GOOD!! <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D 

Mistfall says...

Overpowered MC.Involve school where MC quickly creates his own faction.Threats in the end are of kingdom-braking scale.

mildzeal says...

Similar only because the main romantic pairing actually happens instead of teasing the relationship. Also both are set in fantasy world, but WMG is more school aged and BHP is mature

didinturibi says...

the main charecters are powerful while thoughtful and detailed in their pursit for strength, peace and ideals.

while the banished guide is pursuing a simple life, the wisemans grandchild is alsosimple in pursuits. though thir choises are similar their paths are different. like a fork un the road.

Mistfall says...

Fantasy with swords and magic.MC in both is powerful and idealistic.Romantic line is simple, naive and pure.

fuehuehue says...

Well, they are both overly powered people but this story doesn't have magic or anything it is all about the main character's fist of doom.

TomKong says...

Both have an Overpowered Main Charchter and super amazing animation style. I like how they are both solo charchter and dont show off there true power every 2 seconds
