Sinopse:
During a school trip, a bus full of students is suddenly transported to another world by a sage named Sion. She bestows most of the students with powers called Gifts, seeking to recruit them to become sages as well. However, a few are excluded from receiving a Gift, resulting in the others leaving them behind.
Yogiri Takatou, one of the students who did not receive a Gift, wakes up to find a dragon attacking the bus. Amidst the chaos, he executes the dragon using his innate ability to instantly put anything to death. Alongside fellow survivor Tomochika Dannoura, Takatou sets out to find a way back to Earth, all while eliminating anyone who dares to underestimate him—including his former classmates.

This anime is the best type of garbage, expected the usual sludge that they pump out every season, 'A normal, average highschooler is yeeted and now he's op. This dense, annoying self insert will now beat people in increasingly boring ways for 12 eps while being surrounded by other annoying characters'. What we got instead is arguably worse, but its a 10/10 on the enjoyment scale. It's the OP protagonist trope taken to its logical extreme, and its just hilarious. It's just junk food anime, OP protag batshit insane no story power fantasy parody, and I love it. The MC has the depth of a kiddiepool, as generic as it gets, but he is by far the most enjoyable part of the anime. Not a loud ass goody two shoes, dense, 'lets be friends' mc, nor a boring edgy killing machine, a great in between. He's a laidback, reasonable person with a decent moral compass who has no issues eliminating any threat if needed. The female lead, again, generic af, buuut, by some miracle, isnt the usual useless name spamming love interest who contributes jack shit to the plot. She is actually competent, understanding, and has pretty chemistry good with the MC.
If you're looking for a story, there aint one. I have to say though, some of the dialogue, especially when it came the MC's morals were quite sharp and caught me off guard, the world building and pacing isnt the worst either.
Is this anime absolute dogshit? Yes. Should you watch it? Yes.
If you're a sucker for isekais, shitty animes, or OP MCs, give this a shot.

~~ A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ ~~ Overall Rating: 4/10 ----- Reason for watching? ----- Heard of the premise, was morbidly curious ----- Reason for finishing? ----- Was amazed by the ridiculous premise, was morbidly curious to see how long it kept the bit going ----- Story: 2/10 -----I can safely say that having only just finished the show I've already forgotten most of the major details. In fact I don't think there is a single plot point that interested me or made sense, which in itself is kinda impressive
----- Art: 5/10 -----
Absolutely nothing to say here, it's art arted, and there was certainly animation. Not really bad in any way, but I wouldn't say it was good either
----- Sound: 5/10 -----
There was not a single memorable moment of sound design or OST, which in itself is disappointing. I'd rather it be awful so I can laugh about it
----- Character: 8/10 -----
In all honesty, I loved a few of the characters enough to keep me going through the whole thing. The MC was hilarious in his cardboardness, and the main girl was honestly very likeable. There was some side characters that were fun and others that made me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty soup spoon, so good job on that I suppose
----- Enjoyment: 10/10 -----
I was in physical pain and astonishment from the start of episode 1 till the end of episode 12. Fever dream of a show and I kinda loved it, not because I enjoyed the experience but because I knew I'd made it to the end somehow and could move on with my life and be a better person. Still would 100% watch a season 2 though
----- Rewatchability: Never/ maybe once for shits and giggles -----
You'd have to pay me to sit through this again, and even then I'd have to seriously think about it. Or you know, re-watch it future me to see if I'm being too harsh. I dare you.
----- Afterthoughts -----
I realise it is a parody of Isekei, the thing is it was too good at being a parody. There were many times I couldn't tell if something would happen intentionally to mock the genre or if it was just hilariously terrible unintentionally. Extremely well done if it was the former
----- Disclaimer -----
A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ is for my own benefit, since I have a hard time remembering shows or why I liked them and I wanna document the journey through this massive anime watch list. To anyone other than future myself who stumbles across this somehow: I don't recommend you listen to me, I'm a dumbass

This show is so bad that it’s made me climb out of my swamp-ass-infested gaming chair out of pure testosterone-fuelled rage just to write a review, which is something I don’t normally do. ——— Story: 2/10 ——— The only reason this isn’t getting a 1/10 is because there is some semblance of a story, and I say this out of pure generosity because the string risking life and limb to keep this narrative intact is incredibly thin. It introduces itself as a clear parody of an isekai, and it’s all downhill from there. Countless plot holes, no clear objective to the main story, and multiple sub-storiesare just some of the issues. The worst part is that nothing that happens in the story matters. An antagonist shows up? Not to worry, dear viewer, don’t waste your time getting invested in the antagonist’s character or even remembering their name. Our trusty MC will kill them in the most anticlimactic way possible before their voice actor has time to wonder if the quick paycheck was worth having their name attached to this project. I’m not even kidding when I say that outside the main characters that keep the plot going, a character is lucky to live past the same episode they’re introduced. It all finally wraps up in another anticlimactic way that you’re numb to by the end of the series. Also, there’s some mecha stuff that I forgot existed in the story until they were shown again in the last ep.
——— Characters: 3/10 ———
In terms of the MC, you’re getting exactly what you came for: an OP giga chad that has never and will never come close to losing EVER. PERIOD. I’m not saying that kind of MC can’t be fun, but here it just flops for me because he makes everything that happens in the story pointless. Like I mentioned, there is no reason to care about any antagonist because as soon as they pose a threat to the MC they die, which by extension, makes it difficult to care about the plot as a whole. The MC is also pretty two-dimensional outside of a backstory they interject with occasionally, which is fine I guess. Everyone else is generic af and plays into some kind of lazy trope. Also, get ready to be bombarded with a million names almost constantly, but if you’re anything like me, don’t bother remembering them because chances are they either matter very little to the story or will die in a few scenes anyway. I swear to god, one episode in particular hits you with at least a dozen names in the span of five minutes.
——— Animation: 5/10 ———
There really isn’t anything much to say here. Frames are in fact playing in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion. The animation/art is just the safe, modern anime style you’re probably used to watching. Nothing bad, but also nothing great. It serves its purpose.
——— Sound: 5/10 ———
Just like the animation, there really isn’t anything noteworthy in this department. The op is fine, although completely forgettable imo and there’s no part of the ost that didn’t just fade into the background. Again, nothing bad but also nothing great. It serves its purpose.
——— Overall enjoyment: 4/10 ———
I picked up this show because it sounded up my alley, but man I can’t be more disappointed. The best thing I can say about this show is that, although very scarcely, it randomly made me chuckle with a gag I wasn’t expecting, probably due to the fact that I lost all ability to expect anything from this show somewhere after the first couple of episodes.
——— Do I recommend watching? ———
I don’t recommend watching this anime if you’re looking for a show that begs at least a handful of brain cells from the audience. If you want something that just barely surpasses children’s YouTube content in terms of narrative and creative quality, you could probably do worse.

Robot-chan best girl, change my mind. This anime is about the most OP character ever, you can't kill him, but he can end everything in existence. Nickname: Waifu-kller. If you want to find new waifus, this anime is not for you; 99% of all waifus will die. You will not understand the story at all, they skip almost every piece of information from the LN. The characters are mid, basically, the whole anime survives only thanks to the power of the END, which is the power of the MC to end anything. You can watch it if you want to see MC that doesn't give a fuckand just kill everything that doesn't appeal to his eye. As somebody said, it's the best type of garbage anime.

It's bad not because I hate it. It's bad because I couldn't care less what happens. Here we have the nth take on the isekai genre - this time permutating an entire class getting transported to another world combined with a main character whose overpowered skill is being able to kill anyone, anything and even any concept just by saying the word "die". If that sounds bad - yes it does. It's not so much the poor animation, stop-start pacing or even the storyline itself - it's the sheer quality of the characters, or lack thereof, and the sheer quantity of them getting thrown at you everyother minute in each and every episode. Characters get shown on screen, their names get flashed, their voice actors get to shine with a few lines, and then they die. Like literally within minutes, sometimes seconds of coming across our main character, Sir Kill-a-lot. Those characters that don't die are either bland, annoying or straight up unbearable.
The ridiculousness of it all came across as somewhat funny initially, with our main character possessing a skill as absurd as that and just murdering pretty much everyone he comes across without laying a hand on them. Then it was hilarious because the range of possibilities of what he can kill expands as the story went on, including the very concept of physics itself. There was also a bit of supposed "intrigue" with him being the outcome of some crazy experiment or whatnot.
But any interest one may have in the premise of this show flies out the window once the joke has been repeated a few times. After the first few episodes, there are no stakes left. There can be no threats to the main character. It's just a matter of time before any viewer would lose all investment into the characters and storyline.
At least One Punch Man actually punches something.
1 point for the opening theme, which might be the only redeeming part of the show. Pity it gets me pumped for nothing.
1 point for Tomita Miyu giving great reactions to the stupidity that was happening. She is all of us.

'My Instant Death Ability' is a fantasy adventure-comedy, an isekai parody, that fails to entertain in any way, on any level: it fails as a fantasy adventure and as a comedy; it fails as an isekai and as a parody. Rushed, vacuous, convoluted, dull, predictable, and most of all forgettable, it is the sort of parody that can make me look back fondly on the parent genre's least beloved entries for the endearing sincerity and simplicity of their incompetence. Come back, 'Reign of the Seven Spellblades', all is forgiven! Let me say a few words about the genre. It's not unusual for new fantasy series toembroider themselves with isekai kitsch: it's practically a cost of doing business, and it doesn't necessarily harm the story. Going someplace new is an evergreen theme, for Odysseus as much as Kirito, and the video game skill tree our hero might unlock upon arriving someplace new is a harmless bit of kitsch. Ideally, perhaps, the story would include no extraneous elements, but plenty of watchable shows sprint through a tolerable half-episode of isekai overhead before settling in for the real story, which turns out to have nothing to do with reincarnated teenagers assigning skill points.
'My Instant Death Ability', on the other hand, wallows in isekai slop from start to finish, doubling down on kitsch at every opportunity, indulging in all the worst excesses of the setting without once delivering on the core appeal of fantasy adventure — which, by the way, has been parodying itself for years. 'My One-Hit Kill Sister' can be considered a parody of a fantasy adventure, and in any case it's a lot of fun to watch; 'My Instant Death Ability' can be considered an insult to the viewer, and it's not even a clever insult.
As rushed as it is vacuous, the show is watchable, barely, as a kind of twenty-minute weekly chore. Nothing lasts and nothing matters: establish a location, introduce a character, kill the character, leave the location; no stakes, no conflict, and no lasting consequences. If it ever slowed down enough to convey the plot, or if it ever asked us to care, even a little, about any of the characters, then it would simply be infuriating. As it stands, I did manage to point my eyes toward the screen for most of the runtime, though if you asked me now what happened to the sword master, or what the sage was trying to achieve, or why the robot turned into a dragon, I honestly couldn't tell you.
Anyone with eyes can see at once why the show doesn't work. You don't need to know what words like "structure" and "pacing" mean: the director clearly doesn't. It looks bad, sounds bad, makes no sense, and serves no purpose. The comedy consists entirely of yelling. For half the runtime, half the screen is taken up by title cards for roughly fourteen thousand characters, half of which die each episode, and I wish the other half had died too. There is one cute girl, but she spends every scene yelling at a fat ghost.
I may be misremembering some of that, but I'm not going to check, because I don't care and it doesn't matter. No one should watch this show, and it's embarrassing that it was made. I can forgive the people responsible for it, and I don't think they deserve to go to prison, but a hundred hours of community service does seem appropriate.

First, there was isekai. Then when people got bored of that, came the joke isekai that made fun of the whole thing. And then came the anti-isekai, the genre deconstructions that turned the whole premise onto it's head, etc etc... And now, we have the post-isekai, where the rules go straight out the window and whatever happens, happens. I mean, this is one of those entire-paragraph-title anime that says all you need to know right on the tin. Dude gets isekai'd, wakes up in another world, but instead of embarking on the Hero's Journey or having some weird/funny ability or modern day technology, he just hasthe ability to kill anything instantly. Period. That's it. No chanting, no straining, no casting, no flashy animations, the guy just says "Die!" and the target just keels over, dead as a doornail. No explosions, no dragged out screaming and deathrattles, no bursting into sprays of blood and guts, just...dead. Works on literally everything. Hordes of bad guys, dragons, gods, unimaginable forces of evil, whatever it is, just gets unalived at the drop of a hat. No drawbacks, no limits, no rules, the guy literally just kills things, anytime, anywhere.
If that sounds insanely boring, well, it is. But it's also pretty entertaining in a weird way. The MC is as bland and bogstandard as it gets. He is also the most reasonable and likeable MC I've seen in basically any isekai, ever. He has one simple goal: he just wants to go home. He doesn't want to engage in any of the isekai fantasy otherworld hero's journey pseudo-video-game BS, he doesn't care about heroes and monsters, good vs evil, gods and demons, ethics and morals, one world-ending armageddon or another, the dude just simply wants to leave. He is not a murderous psychopath, a fish-out-of-water idiot, a flamboyant edgelord or some weird mix of these, he is just a simple dude who is over all this BS. He is not violent or angsty, but he is not over just straight up killing anything that threatens him. The one other skill he has - other than instant murder - is he can sense if anyone wants to kill him, and of course kill them right back whatever or wherever they are. This, aside from making him basically immortal, just removes any and all excitement when you realize just how low stakes are.
The rest of the story is just an incoherent mess. What makes the whole thing funny is just how desperately everyone else around him is trying to make the whole fantasy video game isekai stuff happen. Medieval kingdoms, dragons, spells, heroes fighting demons, leveling up, zombie apocalypse, resurrecting unimaginable ancient evil, blademasters, wizards, tournaments, you can find basically every single trope in here. And the MC is just over all this, he literally walks right through all that with a "no, thanks". I mean, some insanely powerful ancient evil keels over mid-monologue, dead, because MC was bored of their BS. It's stupid and very funny at the same time.
They try to cobble together some semi-coherent backstory, the MC being some ultimate alpha-omega embodiment of fate or something, but even the anime gives up halfway in a "whatever, you don't care, we don't care" kinda way. I mean it doesn't really matter, does it? The MC is just it's own plot device, pointing out just how ridiculous the whole concept is, which I can totally get behind.
In summary, is this a good anime? No. It's aimless, boring, incoherent and bland, cramming as many isekai tropes in a single anime as humanly possible and setting it all on fire. This anime doesn't just turn the isekai to 11, no, it rips off the friggin dial, stomps it to pieces and then pisses on it. There is fun to be had, watching the MC completely disregarding all the implied rules and laws of isekai and just side-stepping all that stuff. If you can turn off your brain and take it for what it is, it could be a reasonably fun time.

Sokushi Cheat takes a more extreme approach to the "overpowered protagonist" concept; the protagonist Yogiri Takatou not only never loses, but he also rarely showcases internal conflicts or opinionated goals to work towards. Author Tsuyoshi Fujitaka mentioned in an interview that this is exactly what he wanted to play with — a protagonist who never struggles until the very end. Fujitaka's concept naturally alienates many, for by design there is little to get attached to in the story's journey, and there's essentially no tension. However, this idea has potential to carry out a more lax attitude regardless of the intensity of scenarios. The nature ofnothing in existence being able to threaten Yogiri enables him to engage with the fantasy world in a detached and reactive fashion. The most cataclystic of world events become moments that simply happen; Yogiri is there but effectively doesn't interact with it save for when he or his group would be threatened. The absurdities of Yogiri's capacities offer a license to examine a world filled with chaos and metaphysical absurdity without placing emphasis on the scope and extremity of such things. It establishes an avenue by which any fantastical concept can be framed as unimportant. In this way, I find the work conceptually intriguing.
Like many other Narou works, a lot of Sokushi Cheat's interactions are centered around self-awareness of its genre. Characters will make fun of the oddies of the setting and the absurd trajectories that arise from Yogiri's powers. There's an occasional amusing joke every once in a while, but rarely does the work standout in its self-awareness. One edge Sokushi Cheat has in its making jokes about its own concepts is that because there's no limit to the scope of power the other characters can have (by virtue of no level of power mattering against Yogiri), the work is able to take certain concepts to a more peculiar conceptualization and make fun of them. An example is a character whose base power is "cooking", but this power can be stretched to have unreasonably versatile applications from the holder's framing of everything in the lens of cooking. Elements like this are compounded left and right into the series, leading to a chaotic mess that couldn't really fly in a setting where the interaction of characters would have to be more stable, but Sokushi Cheat's world is able to as unstable as it wants by virtue of the protagonist's foundation. Any unstable element will eventually be nullified by Yogiri's intervention, opening the door to interactions of components far more absurd than in more conventional works.
Many Fujitaka works (e.g. Sokushi Cheat, My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World, and Harumi’s Legacy as the Strongest Mimic) have a particular absurd identity to their character interactions, as it's quite common for them to engage in conceptual discussions that feel too peculiar for regular characters to be conversing about. The conversations can sometimes feel too absurd to be organic which can be a turn-off, but at the same time, there's a particular charm to these overly conceptual conversations by virtue of how aberrant they are compared to conventional discourse. The anime adaptation for Sokushi Cheat unfortunately loses much of this, as the adaptation goes at a brisk pace and rushes towards the larger plot events. There are still remnants of these moments, such as the scene in episode 1 where the main heroine Tomochika Dannoura probes Yogiri on what his stance would be if Tomochika were to hypothetically betray him, but these are still far more tame compared to the more absurd conversations that were omitted. Consequently, the anime's conversations don't stand out as much as they could have, which is fairly unfortunate since with a lack of tension, character interactions and jokes are some of the main ways the show would be able to draw interest.
Some of Sokushi Cheat's more interesting moments involve characters trying to gain insight on the nature of Yogiri's powers. The clash with vampire sage Lain offered a fair bit of info on how different conditions interact with Yogiri, many of them failing and some at least offering an indirect way to survive. Such moments provide another avenue of interest, because while viewers may be aware of how futile dealing with Yogiri can be, characters in-universe will cling to possibilities. This enables an amusing information game that, while it's destined to fail, the way characters approach the herculean task of overcoming Yogiri's powers can be interesting to see. Unfortunately, the last third of the anime chose to rush its way to the more eventful moments, which led to the omission of one of the most compelling instances of such moments. It's with decisions like this that I feel the adaptation fails to fully captatilize on how the work retains interest in a tension-like environment. The rushing to eventful moments has less weight when these eventful moments have such anti-climatic moments to begin with, by virtue of Yogiri's invincibility.
Tomochika has some amusing straightman moments, but a lot of her banter doesn't add anything new. She does have one standout moment when she describes how she conceptualizes Yogiri's powers in relation to her morals, and Yogiri's reaction to this is one of the most standout aspects of her dynamic. Save for that however, her more notable conversations and self-reflections that existed in the source material did not make it into the adaptation. As such, she doesn't have a whole lot going for her apart from her standard straightman jokes.
While I do bring up a few ways in which the adaptation lacks some of the source material's best merits, that isn't to say that the core source material fully capitalizes on its concept. Although I admire Fujitaka's ultimate vision and some arcs have amusingly satisfying and chaotic payoffs, some of the shortcomings of the anime stem simply from certain arcs themselves having a trajectory or conclusion that doesn't offer much. The series has shown its capability of creating amusing constructions with the concept, such as conflicts that have been resolved before they have even begun yet the unknowing characters still take events seriously, or events piling onto each other in a way that feels incomprehensible by virtue of the main characters being outsiders to the unfolding scenario. However, for each of these more interesting trajectories, there's conclusions where characters simply come across Yogiri and die. Many occurances lack the thoughtfulness to be satisfying.
As someone who is willing to engage with tensionless fantasy works, Sokushi Cheat is a work whose concept I respect, and I commend the author's commitment to the lack of a protagonist struggle throughout. Nonetheless there are plenty of shortcomings both with the core work and the work's adaptation. I do hope that more authors experiment with the degree of lack of struggle that Sokushi Cheat does, as if capitalized with more creative trajectories, this sort of idea could be fascinating in challenging the standard storytelling constructions writers use to appeal to an audience.

A proper Isekai with super natural elements and comedy. Trigger Warning: The series kills people (including classmates and gods) like its just a comedy routine. Some may find it offensive. Plot An entire class is summoned to Isekai and granted gifts (powers), so that some of them can become "sages". But 4 were not granted gifts and abandoned by the rest of the classmates. Two of them are killed by a dragon and when FMC wakes up MC (who has been sleeping through this entire plot), MC kills the dragon instantly. And so starts the adventure of our MC to return to his world. Anything that standsin his way shall be killed instantly.
Review
1. The series is very meta. It refers to a lot of Isekai tropes and the characters directly make jokes on them.
2. The series never takes itself seriously. It mixes sci-fi tech like robots, gundams, androids, secret organizations etc.. with medieval level fantasy concepts like magic and kingdoms. We even have super natural entities like guardian angels, ghosts, etc.. So, it would definitely feel different than other Isekai.
3. The characters die like insects and that is often played for comedy. It doesn't matter how much you buildup a fight, its still gonna die within 10 seconds of a fight. Its a running gag for the entire season.
4. This is first and foremost a comedy. If you are not laughing by second episode, maybe its not really your cup of tea.
5. This is also a mystery. We get a lot of flashbacks from MC's past, and there are some really great slice of life moments in there.
I think that should give you a rough overview of what to expect. Its definitely messy with a lot of stuff mixed in. But, compared the usual garbage like "I reincarnated as X" or "hero kicked me out, so I _" or "With my cheat skill, I _", this series feels refreshing.

Trashy isekai with the most busted MC to ever exist. It fully leans into the most played out tropes and archetypes. The best thing about this show for me was that you really never know what kind of randomness awaits. Nothing makes sense, it's incohesive and chaotic. No matter how much anime you've watched you'll have a hard time guessing what kind of ridiculous thing is going to happen next. The story is all over the place but that's not much of an issue as the main draw to this show is the kind of 4th wall breaking comedy. Animation quality is what you'd expect from a trashyisekai. Watchable but very close to hentai level.
Give it a watch if you have some time to kill.

When you think about isekai surely one of the first things that come to your head is that it has an OP MC. This show is completely about this, about an OP MC killing things, that’s why it’s called Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga aka Instant Death, and just as those other shows where the OP MC makes every single battle uninteresting because they have no stakes, this series is no different, actually, it is even worse because of how Yogiri is designed to be, he is designed to try to be the strongestcharacter, and not just from his own series, the author of this very clearly tries to make Yogiri the strongest when compared to other characters from other shows.
Actually, Instant Death is not a show, it is VS debating brainrot. If you don’t know what’s VS debating is I’ll give a little explanation, have you ever seen people asking “who will win Goku or Superman?”? Well, VS debating is taking that question and actually trying to answer it, people will search feats of the characters, use physics to calc their speed and destructive power and even classify every single one of their abilities, and while classifying them you will get to a tiering system to put the characters in some tier of power level. What do I mean with VS debating brainrot? Well, obviously, some characters will be created unintentionally powerful to the point of being ridiculous, but then what if someone knows about this kind of stuff and decides that he wants his character to be even stronger than them? Well, this series happens, that’s why you get some really specific details about how Yogiri’s instant death ability works, to make it able to affect characters when compared to him in VS debating, that’s why there are random scenes of people saying “oh, he killed my avatar and was also able to kill my real self” or introducing a character to kill their external power source that was in another dimension, this is to showcase his feats, because the creator of this series knows about VS debating, so as I said before, this isn’t a real series and it is more a wanking fest of a character to make him the most powerful fictional character. This makes the series completely worthless, as it doesn’t tell a real story, the characters are just there to have different powers and abilities to be defeated by Yogiri so someone can say “my character can beat this other character” in a discussion.
Honestly, even if you watched it because the main character has the ability to kill people and see stupid people “paying the price” for what they did, it would still be a waste of time, the way they die is so instantaneous that it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t feel satisfactory to see idiots die because they just drop dead on the spot. You can’t watch it for the animation because it is terribly done, none of the battles between other people matter because the protagonist can kill them with a thought and they just drop dead.
This series is a pit of nothingness, there’s nothing here, it doesn’t exist, because it’s complete and utter shit, it’s the meme of the OP isekai MC but taken to the absolute extreme, so it is just boring to watch. Honestly, the only reason why I knew about this series beforehand was because of hearing about Yogiri in VS debating posts, because there’s nothing more to discuss about this show.
Thank you for reading.

A group of classmates get dropped into a new world, and are given powers from a cold-heart sage. However, Takatou happened to already have powers from the real world; to kill anything just by telling it to. And that's the whole story. Something dangerous shows up, it kills some pointless characters, it tries to kill Takatou or Dannoura, he tells it to die, and then it dies. Then the cycle happens to repeat with more and more absurd powerful beings appearing in front of Takatou and dying on the spot. There's nothing really about this show that makes it funny or charming in the way OnePunch Man is, as Saitama is a hero for fun and one-shots monsters and purposefully hold back on humans, all while complaining he forgot it was Sunday and he's going to miss the sale on groceries. Takatou kills things without a struggle because "it had intent to kill me" and then plays video games or sleeps. He doesn't really care about hardly anything or shows any strong emotion, and so the character is just straight to the point, one note, boring.
There's no point in watching this as it is predictable and flat; you'd be better off watching most other things. 3/10 Waste of time.

At one point the "chef" class character makes an unexpectedly impressive attack. The villain is taken aback: "how?" The chef replies, "because as a chef I must have the power to cut through any ingredient". If that was energy of the series this would be a real winner, like some kind of Isekai Excel Saga. But alas, it was one of it's few funny moments. Despite being labeled a parody, this story actually takes itself like 95% seriously. It focuses a huge amount of story on the MC's backstory and powers, and seems far more concerned with the details and implicationsaround crafting the most OP possible character than actually playing with any tropes.
Here's an idea: if you actually want to parody the genre maybe MC just has the power as part of the usual isekai process. There's a "chef" class, an "OP insta death" class, etc and the summoner god is like "oops" as MC accidentally kills them. That's fun. It immediately lambasts all the isekai that spend 50+ episodes building to revenge on the summoning god. This anime though? Just a boring justification of an OP character, who has a (mostly) boring power and rather thoroughly boring personality.
EP11 was pretty funny though. 5/10.

So, I was so close to dropping this show right at the start. It was just so stupid. I always hate it in shows where character act/react to things in unrealistic ways, and this show is the epitome. People are dying left and right, and people are for sure not reacting appropriately. I just had to check the discussions on the first episode, and found people saying this show was supposed to be a parody. After that, I got it. It's just so stupid, but I couldn't stop watching. The trope of the protagonist getting jumped by bandits at night happens, and he's just like, "Iguess I'll kill you now." He's constantly interrupting people by just killing them. His nonchalant attitude is very relatable, yet he isn't some sort of villain/edge lord. The other characters are pretty ridiculous as well, but not really relatable. They just kinda have no remorse, and most I would consider evil. They do make funny commentary sometimes though, or say something I was thinking.
The plot is a jumbled mess, but still makes some sense. The show is just a bunch of ridiculous things after another. Like, the sage character just gets bored and decides to start a battle royale to the death, and everyone just gets on board. They've got random classes like a chef who can cut anything, since he can cut any ingredient.
The thing is, it's just so much of a train wreck, I'm not even sure it is a parody. Maybe we are all laughing at the author, instead of with him. I can't believe I'm actually recommending this anime and giving it a '7'. At the end of the day, it came down to if I was engrossed the whole way, and wanted to keep watching more. I pretty much binged the whole show over 2 days, so I for sure enjoyed it. My reputation will never recover.

For a gimmick Isekai anime, it was surprising. It didn't feel cliché at all. There are many characters all with different powers, sages and even invaders from "other worlds". Also, the real world is represented, when in many Isekai you barely see it and then forget about it, in fact the MC gets his OP power from the real world and not the Isekai, and I thought this was a very original trope. Now there are many many deaths and you realize the MC isn't a typical "hero" character but actually a kind of like a roman god that doesn't follow idealistic human morality, another pointthat is quite original. I really liked too that the real world scientists who know about the MC are terrified of him, basically like he is a horror movie monster, but at the same time he seems to just be a normal kid, one that was bestowed a ridiculously overpowered ability that kills everyone instantly of course. And when you think about it, a kid bestowed with such an ability that sometimes activates automatically, well he would use it probably in a manner similar to this anime, at least in self defense and when he senses people want to kill him.
Even inside the main Isekai, there are many different settings with very different cities and people in them. From episode to episode, the settings vastly changes and there are many different races and factions that battle in the background, with their own quests and biases.
For it's originality, it's worth a watch, this isn't your typical gimmick Isekai anime. Although I guess it's easy to miss the original nuances and dismiss this show as just a nonsense op mc gimmick.

I watched a YouTube short by chance where this cutie, The Sage Sion, is being featured. It turns out that she's the villain of this anime, 'My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!' which I will refer to as Instant Death. Is 'Instant Death' worth watching? No, and you've been warned. Yogiri and the rest of his class were summoned into this other world by the Sage Sion to become sage candidates. Almost all of his classmates were bestowed with a skill, except him who was sleeping. It looks like he will not survive, but unbeknownstto them, he has an ability to kill anyone or anything with just his thoughts. So he is overpowered right from the start.
And from there, it looks like an average isekai, except it isn't. It's a parody of sorts. Every conceivable trope is thrown in and made fun of.
I like the attitude of the main character. He is very nonchalant. His interactions with his fellow and love interest, Dannoura, can be fun.
This anime is not actually so bad that you would like to throw and break your laptop screen. You just watch it for the mindless fun. At best, this could've been a 5 or 6 and that would have been a generous score.
Unfortunately, it's a mess and by the last few episodes, about episode 10 or so, it has lost its plot (if there's any to begin with). (I scored it a 4.) They're just throwing too many people just to give screen time to every possible character type to lampoon, some of these could've been waifus or main characters of other isekai. It's unfortunate that a certain character may appear that you fancy. But alas! She has to be killed.
I couldn't follow what was happening in the last few episodes as a result of this. The final episode ends with the demise of _____ as expected but uneventful. True to the nature of 'Instant Death,' defeating the final boss is also uneventful - just something within the power of Yogiri.
Even as a parody, it's hard to recommend. It's fun but horrible.
I might recommend it to people who've watched something emotionally wrenching and just want to watch mindless fun, something that doesn't play with your emotions. But for the rest of you who may only want to watch the best shows, especially if you are pressed for time, I can't recommend it.

TLDR: The One Punch Man of isekai Honestly, that's all there is to know. The MC is an apathetic entity known as the Alpha Omega. He can will you to death. Some flashbacks to his origins are given. It's an Isekai. He gets zapped into another world and the adventure begins. You ever wondered why the MC didn't stop a particular person or monster or just use his superpower to get past that obstacle...Don't! He does. Its carnage from the get go. The animation, sound, voice acting, pacing, etc are all average. The story for all its mediocrity is fun enough, but it's given thatextra edge with the MC. Basically, if you didn't like One Punch Man, then is not for you but for the rest of us,, trash loving isekai fans, this is the hero we always wanted.

The show is a peek example of there actually being a case of "MC is TOO overpowered". While theres plenty of semi-trashy isekai with overpowered main characters, there usually something, of some sort, to give ANY sense of weight to events, even if we all know they will win. This show very obviously threw that idea in the bin. At no point is there any true threat to the MC, and at no point does he have to use anything past basic reasoning to get anything done. Plenty of shows have balanced their painfully overpowered MCs with either halfway decent storytelling, comedy, memorable characters, orat least the MC being forced to use more then 2 braincells at once to win the day. This is nothing. Its just the word "die" 500 times, roll credits. This isent even stereotypical "isekai trash", this is that strange puddle of foul smelling fluids at the bottom of the local dumpster. The only positive about the entire show is that its both so boring and so bland that its hard to get too worked up about anything. I beg you, if your looking for something to watch, look elsewhere, unless your desperate to see just how bad an isekai can be.
