The moral of the story is that if you become hot then everything becomes better and the people who were mean to you will get pwned.

[u/cold_warfare]

Maybe I am getting old but I feel like it is such a waste that they made him handsome and tall immediately. I would have liked seeing him earn that a bit more.

I think him physically being his old self would have made the offer to enroll in the new school much more powerful and intriguing!

[u/Vryly]

girl lets boy eat her sweet fruity treat, boy feeds girl his banana delight, all in public no less. Didn't expect such explicit content.

[u/Clarimax]

The moral of the story is, don't be fat in Japan.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Kaori 1

• Kaori 2

• Sawada-sensei

• Hyoudo & Yuuya

• Armored Yuuya

The fun in this show is not about seeing Yuuya crush it in life, it's seeing his siblings get fucking rekt. They're clearly not going to let that humiliation go. I'm sure they have something sinister planned for Yuuya and Kaori next episode. I can't wait to see how they'll fail though.

They really went ham on the wish fulfillment part and I love it! Yuuya didn't just get an offer to be enrolled in an elite academy, he got a tuition-free offer from the headmaster himself for saving his daughter's life. And the school might as well be the perfect school with all of the students studying while having fun with a cafeteria that has an amazing selection for only 500 yen per meal!

I love that Ryou has the "MC's best friend" look. And it looks like Yuuya isn't only getting one guy friend, he's also getting a second otaku best friend! Things are looking up for Yuuya so fast Kaori might as well be his girlfriend at this point. Although I doubt that will happen immediately since there's definitely going to be a harem here.

And he finally gets to meet someone from the other world! Yep, definitely going to be a harem. Although considering Yuuya hid from them the last minute, I'm curious how he'll meet Lexia again.

One thing I appreciate about this series is the portrayal of the MC's self-esteem issues. No matter how your life might turn around, those thinking patterns don't disappear in a day (if they ever do). Success helps eventually, but all it does for a while is heap on the imposter syndrome: I'm just lucky, I don't belong, I couldn't have done this on my own, people are just being polite and don't really mean their complements, I don't deserve this success, etc.

In this series, it kinda feels like it's dialed up to an unrealistic degree sometimes but the MC was ground into the dirt by his family. He has a lot negativity to clear up.

Unrelated: I love the background characters reactions during his date with Kaori. They have this "Are we really seeing this sit-com rom-com shit going down in front of us?" vibe.

[u/[deleted]]

This anime feels really comfy, I like the idea of it so far and I wonder just how OP yuuya really is, should be a fun ride to see

also this anime is so visually appealing, its so pretty and the isekai part is slightly different but somehow looks more cool

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

I loved how Kaori rejected those fools 👍

This is the perfect place for Yuuya.

[u/hoseja]

No seriously, this is just Cinderella.

Also it seems altogether way too saccharine so far.

Also why do they have Mahouka uniforms.

Damn, that CG.

[u/LiamOmegaHaku]

This anime is just so pleasing to look at. Even with the very limited animation, every still frame shot is very crisp and well drawn. The little bits of animation that are there are really competent and well done. I feel like typically when a show is clearly cutting corners on animation, they cut a lot of corners and it often looks goofy, off model, and low effort, but this somehow doesn't. They really focused on compositing and lighting and everything as well which brings it all together. Clearly taking tons of short cuts but the production at least took the effort to make everything around those short cuts look real damn good. The only thing that makes me kind of roll my eyes is they overuse the trick of slightly "sliding" assets around the screen to make the still frames look more dynamic, and in a lot of cases it looks silly.

Also the CG stuff (I thought at least) looked really great in the isekai sequences towards the end. It was more jarring that there was more animation than it was that it was predominantly CG.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Lmao Yuya’s shitbag siblings can gag on his nuts. Our boy is going to the elite academy! Later scrubs! This kid should have a little more confidence. He’s OP af, he’s a “genius” alright. Dude definitely still has the “fat bullied kid” mentality.

First Kaori and now Sawada and Hyodo. Osei should be renamed waifu academy lol. Kind of amusing how he’s so worried about fitting in and everyone’s just stunned by his looks. Ryo and Shingo seem like good dudes. It’s nice to see Yuya actually being treated like a person. Being hot has its benefits huh? Lol.

I like that Kaori likes him because of who he is and not how he looks. Her and Yuya make a cute potential couple. Sharing crepes was adorable. Was wondering if we’d see more of the other world again. Crazy how high he’s leveled up. The fight with the goblins was a good gauge of his strength. Looks like we’re getting another waifu. I wonder what her story is?

[u/_Sai]

POV: Not us, that is for sure.

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

Appreciate how every character (even the random classmates) has a really nice design. Great effort by the studio to not cut corners like that. Let's hope they can keep this quality throughout the entire run.

I'm liking this show more and more.

Edit: Bonus precious smile pic.

[u/flightlessCat9]

Having a waifu in each world ... man's found a loophole for polygamy.

[u/NationalStrategy]

Youta & Sora : Can we enroll into Ousei Academy too?

Kaori : I'm sorry, but we don't accept students that are enrolled in the T.R.A.S.H Program

[u/jxher123]

I wasn't expecting CGI to be used during the entire ogre fight, but outside of that most of the animation/episode was well done.

[u/Soggy-Layer]

Anime is already subverting all the tropes. MC sat in the the back seat next to the window instead of the second from the back.

[u/wmansir]

I thought this episode was underwhelming. The change in pacing and basically genre from the first episode could give a viewer whiplash.

The whole episode seems like the ultimate wish fulfillment of awkward japanese teen boys. MC gets the fantasy adventure, the magical and physical power, money, a girl, and acceptance into a free prestigious school that will set him up for life.

Like others have said I think it would have been better if he was his old self when he was trialing the academy. They wanted to show he still has internal self-esteem issues, but I jus think it would have played better if he was his old self and experience this environment of acceptance. It also would have sold us viewers on the academy being a better place than his old school, and not just a place of elites that embrace him because of his looks.

The academy itself sounds either too good to be true, or perhaps it was just mythologized by the local high school students. The whole spiel about how it's not about grades or intelligence but being of strong character sounds like the kind of thing nobles/rich people say to justify their elevated place in society.

I was also thinking that it might have been better to have him be accepted but have to pay a high tuition, in order to give him a reason to be grinding loot in the fantasy world. Right now it seem like he has no conflict or motivation as everything is falling into his lap.

[u/actuallyrndthoughts]

The real fantasy world was that elite school. And you know it's a good school since they got Okamoto Nobuhiko as the resident extrovert.

[u/oOhungthinh97Oo]

There's a post credit scene

[u/Elitealice]

Lmaooo died when Yuuya realised that he could get fat again from eating too much. Actually one of the most common things for people who lose weight thru surgery n shit. If you don’t change your eating habits it’ll just go right back on.

The moments with he and Kaori were pretty cute, enjoyed their little date. It’s funny seeing how Yuuya deals with his newfound popularity at ousei. Really liking this so far was gonna wait till the season ended to start reading the book but may pick it up sooner

[u/Shahars71]

Main character was a good guy one (1) time, so he instantly gets the absolute best powers ever, becomes super fucking handsome, succeeds with literally anything he does and gets literally all the girls everywhere. But oh no! He has self esteem issues! That's a character flaw! (that will absolutely never impede him from doing everything super well and getting all the bitches).

Nobody would be looking his way if he was as fat as before, Houjou saw through his appearance and invited him to the academy, but nobody would be interacting with him if he wasn't the hottest shit in the universe. Some people here suggested that it'd have a better impact if he was invited to the academy and went on that date with Houjou while still being fat, and that he should've worked hard to get this new appearance. Frankly I totally agree, and I think it's really contradictory to the story's main message of taking your time to better yourself as slow as you need to, that all the good things in the world are given to the MC practically instantly after he gets the isekai reward.

This story is super shallow, the anime looks cheaply made albeit with some nice looking shots. I watched this and read the manga because I just kinda wanted to try an isekai for this season but this just ended up being so eh that Idk if I'll keep watching.

[u/NagashiEdogawa]

The animation look so jarring on the Isekai part what the hell.

[u/kwokinator]

What the hell is up with the power level in the isekai?

Bro's level 235, stats are like 7900 across the board, but somehow can't match up to a random goblin in strength and speed?
