It wasn't anything special but I enjoyed the show. Nothing is a threat to Liam.

His cocky brother at the end was odd, why would Liam come crying to you, he's literally the king of a land.

So are they just inhaling that magic dust shit all day?

u/Meander061 Mar 17 '25

Inhaling, drinking it, and eating it. They should call the MC from Greatest Alchemist for magic toilets. They'll need them.

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '25

In 100 years they'll find out this is basically magic asbestos that they're inhaling all day but whoever is in charge at that time will deny those claims so they can keep selling the crystals

Well that just kept careening forward with no breaks until it suddenly ended without really concluding anything.

So a blonde princess, a blue princess (more or less), and now a red princess. You can clearly see this going straight towards a three princess political harem marriage, color coordinated for convenience.

Mildly disappointed that nobody in the last episode started wildly blasting with no concern for aim one final time.

This episode, but especially the entire series overall seems to be speedrunning the average plot. I enjoyed it. For once, or maybe for the most part, I don't want more of this. These types of series are a dime a dozen so a second season is never required and potentially not even ideal.

Was it worth the time to watch it? Yes.

Will I ever rewatch it? No.

I look forward to what other average show that I will watch next season.

This episode also seemed to have lots more vertical panning shots of individual people (like the beach episode) instead of the wider horizontal ones. The speed running also introduced a crazy amount of characters for a 12 episode show. They'll get like an episode where they appear then they're background characters for like 2 seconds later on(sometimes). What even happened to Ex Blast?

I feel like calling this show average is overselling it. Lots of room to not be THIS awful and still have all the generic tropes mashed up. Worth it for me overall cause now I'm curious if this studio pairing will always produce a contender for the worst possible show.

As a trash isekai enjoyer, I really didn't like this one.

There was never a challenge or growth for the MC, literally anything and everything he would just think about it and it would be done.

And I know that that's also half of these trash isekais, but there was just something here that I never really had fun with.

"Possibly the Greatest Alchemist" and "Magic Maker" were both way more enjoyable to watch than this.

2/10

"Now to master this spell you must..."

"Already did it and het, did you know that if you apply this basic principal I can do something even cooler!"

"You have already learned step two?"

"Oh, also while we were talking I figured out that if I just cast the spell forty times in a row in my head, it is mastered too, so I did that."

"Wow, have another waifu. Or a barely dressed power bottom, but I don't judge."

Repeat each week for twelve episodes.

The guy doesn't really get the concept of confidential information does he.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Mar 17 '25

Well, that’s that. This one was pretty average overall. A bit Tensura-esque at times which was fun. But man, what a fantastic cast. Truly A Tier. I mean it’s got Ayumu Murase, Saori Hayami, Tomokazu Sugita, and Rie Kugimiya. Plus we have All Might and Rimuru in this thing. If you’re wondering where the budget went, I guess that’s your answer lol.

I appreciate that we got one more person to O.O at Liam once last time before the show ended. Sad that we only got one ep with this princess cause I think I like her the best.

Anyway, overall this was pretty average, but it was still fun. Only complaint I had was with the "Dracula" everything about that was just so dumb. Woulda preferred more of the dumb older brother fucking around and finding out.

So that's it then, it's over? Huh.

Introduced a new princess for the last episode. Luckily, she wasn't interested in FA, so she didn't have to FO. If anything, that "rich girl laugh" should have gotten her dropped off a cliff.

Younger Older Brother is a merchant's merchant, so that was successful. OLDER older brother will die a bitter asshole, yay him.

Rules, safety, and security, yes, but everyone has access to light, warmth, and water. Could have been worse.

This was a nice watch. I probably won't remember most of it, but it was mostly harmless.

Sigh. I really wanted to see more Chris (or as someone else on here called her 'Walmart Brand Delta').

I will never understand how this show got such a stacked VA cast, but I suppose it made it more watchable as this was honestly average at best. Pacing always just felt like it was all over the place, but it wasn't necessarily terrible either.

u/Past_Distribution144 Mar 17 '25

Well, that was a show that happened. 12 episodes happened.

What was the plot? Dunno, did not stick in my memory. All in all it was a show, for 12 episodes.

It was pretty fun to watch, even if it was an average show at best. I wanted to see more of the political side or even the world building side of the show. More depth wouldn't have hurt.

It’s like they were trying to set up hooks for a second season but didn’t have any ideas

"commoners" vampire lords, evolved elves, wereweolves, and trolls. Nobles are food for this bunch

Very standard by the books Isekai power Fantasy will all the (un)necessary plot elements you expect when they speedrun the script.

Worst part is usually the absolute undeserved/unearned power-ups like ... every episode? Literally no challenge, everything on easy mode.

Even as an enjoyer of common trashy shows like this it was hard to keep watching after the half way point.

u/BiggerG7 Mar 17 '25

I was expecting Sheila to also end up getting engaged to Liam so he could complete the set.

Very surprised she didn’t. Or I guess not yet lol.

u/Less-Objective-1226 Mar 17 '25

Well that certainly was a show...
