Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito

On his way to a convenience store, Kazuya Shiina tries to defend two young girls from an armed assailant, only to end up getting stabbed himself and dying on the spot. This good deed allows him to be reborn with all his memories in another world as Cain von Silford, the third son of a margrave.

When Cain turns five, a baptismal ceremony in the church grants him an audience to the seven gods who preside over the world. Not only do the gods fill him in on the circumstances of his reincarnation, but they also give Cain their respective divine protections—allowing him to use cheat-like abilities in swordsmanship, magic, and many other aspects.

With these blessings, Cain sets out to live a fulfilling life that he deems a dream come true. However, it soon becomes clear that the gods have more plans for him than just a haphazard bestowal of overwhelming power.

Okay let's get over this one again. It's not bad in term of story but yeah, it's just a normal isekai anime where the MC is ridiculously OP and gets literally everything. At this point there isn't much original stuff left. Despite the story still, there are 2 major issues I have with this one:

First is the intentional cringe. You can't go one episode without someone act like "OMG what a surprise". I get it he is OP, and so what? Why are people even surprised. He has established the fact he is not someone normal.
The second thing is the pacing is all over the ... place. The progression is weird. Sometime its fast (like really really fast) and sometime its slower to the point you can go take a nap, comeback and the story still haven't even progress.

Anyway, good art, good music, good character design (art only) and high production value with some (just little) original story to back it up. I'd give it a solid 6.5 (maybe 7).

Well, it's still a recommended from me. Watch it if you have never watched this kind before or you're running out of thing to watch. If you have watch enough "trash isekai" before then I guess you can read the synopsis or others reviews and decide for yourself. Or just skip it if you don't have the time.

Also, there is literally no romance in this thing, maybe there are in the original material, but I do not see any in the anime. Just a heads up

Mixed Feelings

I kinda like this one. But then again, I kinda like these trashy harem isekais in general. There has recently been some great isekais with kid protagonists. Having the MC being a kid can make trivial tasks surprisingly hard, and even an op isekai protagonist has a hard time earning respect when he looks like a 12 yo. kid.
This series was a decent watch for me, but if you don't like the tags, watching only the first 3 eps, or skipping it entirely, is understandable.

MC - 7/10 (Great for a harem isekai MC)
We have, for once, been favored by anime gods. We have been blessed ... with a likeable isekai MC.
Having the isekai'd MC being a kid in a "Harem" anime is actually a surprisingly smart move. The only way to prevent a "Harem" series from turning into an hentai is to either; make the MC dense as fuck, surgically remove his balls in order to maximize his Beta energy, or interrupt all situations as soon as they get spicy.
Having MC being a kid (or a spookey skellington, like bone daddy Ains) makes it natural them not to be interested.
His weakest point is his motivation. His aims are kinda vague; Become an adventurer and learn magic. He achieved the magic part when he was 5, and having the typical "OP MC powers" of the genre, battles are mostly MC one-shotting monsters.
Battle scenes are boring, trivial encounters are taken way too serious and the combat choreography is almost non-existent. Knowing that MC is OP, i was looking forward to some explosion magic eyecandy, but most of the time ho just stabs stuff or cast boring fireball spell. What a letdown.

Visuals - 8/10
The visuals are overall good. Frequent high quality closeups and great production value makes this one enjoyable to look at. Special effects are boring, and there is nothing that REALLY stands out. The 'in-betweens' are noticeable good, and movements are smooth, almost making it a 9/10

Audio - 8/10
Overall audio is good, not much really stand out, apart from the noticeable lack of stock sounds. Voice acting is fine too, but it is way over the top at times. I know it's intentional, but it drags down the score. The music (OP and EP excluded) was actually quite good. It fits and enhanced the overall experience.

Production quality - 9/10

Pacing + Content - 6/10
The pacing is a bit rough. It feels like they squeezed 2 seasons together, but at the same time, nothing much is happening. Interruptions are constantly happening, the training sequence in particular came out of nowhere.
The humor/gags are repetitive. People getting surprised by MCs powers and people scolding MC for overkilling. Its thrilling to hear the occasional "Nani?! MCs power is off the scale!", but hearing "That 10 yo. slew a dragon?!" and "That kid is a personal friend of the King?!" all the time makes it less of a gag, and more of an overused trope.

Characters - 5/10
The cast is of decent size. It starts out great, but you quickly realize that most characters are 1-dimensional cardboard cutouts. I would (almost) prefer the usual shitty tropey characters to these. That being said, most of them are visually appealing, and their movements are nice. My favorites are the D-rank mentors, they have a bit more personality than the rest of the cast.

Worldbuilding
Its okay. Mostly just generic fantasy world. Some nice details are included; why the commoners and nobles go to the same school, and the reason MCs bland boardgame were such a success.

7/10 - Worth watching if you like the tags, decent 2nd monitor anime

Welcome to “The Astrocrat’s Otherworldly Adventure”, the first anime to be written, animated, and produced by ChatGPT! We’re witnessing a truly breathtaking milestone in the AI industry with-... Wait… what? What did you say? What do you mean by “this show was made by actual people”? How the hell was this approved by a human with any common sense?! Well, I’m not sure what was going through the executives’ brains when they pushed this show out the door, but I’ll tell you what was going through mine when I watched this mind-numbing experience.


THE FANTASY CHECKLIST OF FAILURES - Things don’t happen because they make sense; ... they happen because it’s what Isakei stories require.

Although I only wanted to grab your attention with my cheesy ChatGPT joke, there was still some truth behind the humor. After just a few episodes of “The Astrocrat’s Otherworldly Adventure”, my overall impression of the show is that this is just a mash-up of every generic Isakei storyline imaginable. Just think of the day-to-day life of the MC from the last boring Isakei you watched. Were they a part of the Adventurer’s Guild with an arbitrary ranking system? Did they attend a royal magic academy that was clearly below their power level? Or maybe some business endeavors by using their knowledge of modern life? Whatever you were thinking of, I would put 10 to 1 odds this show has it incorporated into the story.

This “inclusive” style of storytelling led to 2 disastrous consequences. The first, and most obvious one, is that the pacing was horrible. Because we jump from one setting/goal to the next at seemingly random moments, we never get any interesting build-up, climax, or resolution. Plot events just hit you faster than the notes in your favorite weeb rhythm game. For one particular episode, we got to see a new villain introduced, an exposition dump about the world, a tragic flashback, a training arc, and 2 new allies appear all in the span of 23 minutes. Even the most diehard Isakei fans were left in confusion for the rest of that week after that doozy.

The second, less noticeable result, is that we don’t care about the MC at all. The dude has almost no obstacles, driving motivations, or goals in mind. The one thing the MC really wanted to accomplish, he got with little to no effort. The rest of the stuff he does is simply because someone else randomly dragged him into it or forced it on him. In short, there is nothing relatable or engaging about Cain because he doesn’t have any personal journey. I ended up having a stronger emotional attachment to a little ant that took a dangerous trip across my desk while I was watching the finale. Woah, look at him go! How did he even get in my room? Oh, wait… what’s happening with Cain again?


EMPTIER THAN MY LOVE LIFE - These characters are so painfully shallow and boring to watch that I can’t even their names.

“Wow! An Isakei that has hollow, stereotypical characters? You must be new to the medium, ApplePieHunter.”

Well, I wouldn’t call myself a diehard enjoyer that’s been around since the 90s, but I’ve seen quite a few bad animes here and there. Nonetheless, “The Astrocrat’s Otherworldly Adventure” definitely ranks high for some of the worst characters I’ve ever seen in a show. If you couldn’t already guess, all the side characters are pretty worthless for interesting character development. The MC does get some character development if you call training arcs and random power jumps development, but everyone else is degraded to just existing.

But I think the worst part is that almost none, if any of them, are entertaining. Little lolis that fall head-over-heels for the far too old MC. A trophy girl with an attachment issue so bad that even Ecchi fans can’t overlook it. A sister that radiates “Sweet Home Alabama” vibes. Nobles are assholes because they’re noble. Airheaded adventurers who exist just to power-scale the MC. All the cliches, stereotypes, and tropes are thrown in with zero changes. Not even a little bit of self-awareness or exaggeration in the show. The jokes, dialogue, and interactions are more reused than a basement dweller’s cumsock, which makes everything so flat and boring.

I want to be clear here. Having a bunch of cliches doesn’t automatically equate to a bad anime. Having a bunch of cliches with no discernible personality or interesting humor is the real crime. And good god is this anime fucking guilty of it.


CAN I TURN OFF MY BRAIN AND STILL ENJOY IT? - Short answer: no. Long answer: noooooooooooooo.

I’ve always wondered why people, including myself, continue to watch these pump-and-dump garbage anime. Personally, I like to see bad anime because it makes me appreciate the good stuff even more. And besides, there can still be a genuine ion or valuable lesson found in even the lowest-ranking shows. However, the truth for most of us is that it’s nice to shut down our critical thinking skills and just… consume. Getting those small bursts of dopamine from the flashy magic spells, random fight scenes, and corny comedy.

Unfortunately, I can’t even recommend “The Astrocrat’s Otherworldly Adventure” for such a simple purpose. The magic is completely unappealing, using lackluster spells and recycled visual effects. The fight scenes are either poorly animated, extremely forgettable, or both. And reiterating my earlier point on shallow characters, the comedy is almost as bad as Amy Schumer’s Netflix stand-up.

I think the saddest part is that nothing is dramatic or remotely impactful. It feels like this show is catering to people with attention spans worse than the neighborhood kid with ADHD. how I said that the story constantly jumps from place to place? Well, the same problem afflicts the anime on a scene level. Even now, I’m seriously having a hard time recalling any event that wouldn’t fit within a YouTube Short. It’s like like the creators were aware that nothing they have to offer can be compelling for longer than 60 seconds, so they just quickly cut to the next meaningless and mediocre thing.


FINAL VERDICT - Was this made by the TikTok algorithm or a ChatGPT mash-up? Who cares, just stay away from it, please.

There once was this really famous activist. His name was something like MKL or APH or whatever. He had this really cool speech that went… “I have a dream that one day Japan will stop making shitty Isakei shows and bring back high quality animanga.”
