I did like the Idea behind it, but at same time I dislike how it turned out as an Anime.

Godlike MC (guts, spine, inteligent, etc.) & Co. without a decent enemy. Additionaly the parsing is very bad and chaotic, it jumps from scene to scene as if it would be some short episodes glued together.

This 2 things make it a very underdeveloped Anime. Guess you shouldn't waste your time if it's limited, because at this state it's almost certain it won't get a sequel.

 Short Review

What was good?

 

The start/intro was amazing & the story showed only necessary info.

We got how the protagonist grew up and grew stronger with the world background during the first 2 episodes.

I never skipped anything in the story because there were not any dull moment in the story.

 

What made it less good?

There were not a bad moment in this anime but just moment of floating.

Our overpowered protagonist already "dealt" with the biggets threat so it wasn't anything I atleast would think of caring much about doing it again even though he didn't defat him completely.

The other yet similar in a sense threat that the protagonist and his friends were training to beat felt the same even if in the grade were different except the last episode were there were up against magic.

Even if the romance were some enjoyment in the story it wasn't much. The love of the protagonist didn't feel any deep just goofy. I mean a value of liking someone that likes to help others and looks good, the protagonist's value of someone who has a good personality and looks good isn't much of a romance. All were pretty much bodylanguage and nothing intimate or verbally between them two.

 

Conclution

Why did I give it 6,5?

I never skipped anything in the story because there were not any dull moment in the story. I got caught up in the story from the start. Perfect protagonist focus. The story had good grounds & goal but executed it poorly. Not that much of relation to the protagonist over all and the characters around him but found joy when he grew & showed his strenght.

the anime is an okay typical isekai anime genre

im personally a fan of a OP protagonist but the surrounding characters have to be interesting as well buti instead the protagonist ends up with a girl that follows him arround and relies on him for everything, and all of his comrades have mediocre story lines so it just ends up as a baseless anime and a straightword plot.

It has a generally good feel to it. The magic comes across as something slightly unique, but it has a very superficial plot lacking some serious salt in many areas. A big loophole I found was that he'd only remembered chemistry from the previous world and somehow forgotten his commonsense along the way.

Also the MC is too op and somehow restricted from moving against enemies due to politics. This is also a typical move to tie up MC's from doing real damage. I hope in later seasons the manga is adapted to cater an audience that demands more than fan service.

This anime has a good story but the pace and the animation ruined the show.

The manga is by far the better.
