  Oh hey, it's a clear copy of Mushoku Tensei that totally missed the point of why the original was good or interesting

  Mushoku Tensei was a landmark in the isekai genre, with its rich world building and great character development, in addition to getting an anime adaptation with the highest production values you'll see in any modern anime not made by Production IG/Kyoto Animation or named Made in Abyss, all which serve as a testament of why I consider it the best isekai ever made. This review isn't about that show.

  Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku is a generic, insipid, ugly animated isekai in a flood of other equally completely uninspired isekai that just happened to have gone the full mile and decided to be a complete rip-off of Mushoku Tensei, and while I'm not like others who think copying the plot a pre-existing work automatically makes it bad (as basically any anime made after the 90s would be bad by this logic), this show is a prime example of the reason copycats got a reputation to begin with: it missed the point of what made the original interesting or good.

  The series follows the all too familiar premise of a Japanese teen dying saving someone, so gods reward him by reincarnating him in a world of swords and magic, where they proceed to give him the most powerful blessings that effectively make him invincible, so he has to hide his strength from the world. This is automatically a bad start, as it gets rid of any sense of stakes, as the main character is so overpowered he can literally just swing his sword and even the most feared monsters fall without a fight, meaning that the series has no weight to its action which in turn just makes it a waste of time.

  The series then proceeds to have every girl who MC-kun meets fall in love with him, even those much older and in a much higher social class than him, as the setting being a fantasy version of medieval Europe is purely aesthetic and has no bearing on anything, as the one and only reason it even is like that is to NOT explore said setting by making it something everyone is familiar with from other series. This deals heavy blows to two important aspects of storytelling, namely world building and characterization, as not only it makes the world empty by effectively having it be a coat of paint you can replace with any other and it changes nothing, but means all the characters are cardboard cutouts who only exist to shill to high heavens our already bland MC, who's clearly intended for self insert in a sort of power fantasy, as he really has not a single character trait beyond "was a regular Japanese boy" who are clearly supposed to see themselves in his place.

  The animation is ugly, its plot is basically non-existent, its world building is empty, its characters are all plot devices - there's literally nothing here that makes this anime stand beyond its similarities to Mushoku Tensei, except that this does everything it shares with that show infinitely worse, as the author of this clearly only intended to ride the wave of million other isekai with no value beyond the kind of mindless entertainment that has overtaken the anime industry in the last 8 years, and I'm honestly already tired of these so called stories that don't actually want to tell a story, they just want to make a cheap cash, and I'd guarantee you that no matter how bad this show is, it'll sell, because this is the kind of safe trash that does nowadays.

  Thank you for reading.

  I tried, I really did but even at my lowest, Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku is not fit for consumption

  This review is more for me than it is for you, whoever you are.

  When I look back and I stumble upon this anime again in the future, I want to remind myself why I dropped this. There is absolutely no substance here. Not even as a guilty pleasure. There is nothing to enjoy. These are empty calories without any of the flavor.

  Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku takes all the bad tropes of animanga and somehow makes them worse. The MC is an overpowered devoid of personality shota orbited by a cast of characters that are somehow even more devoid of personality. Actually, perhaps that's not exactly accurate. The supporting cast does have a personality, it just so happens that their personalities are in service of showing the viewer how great of a person the MC is. Whether it's his brocon sister or his doting father who never fails to remind us that even though the MC isn't the firstborn and the MC can't inherit his father's title or land, he's still somehow the best son. If I didn't know any better, I would think the MC implanted himself into this family and had them all under threat of some horrific death if they don't constantly praise and idolize him.

  We're shown very early on that the MC will never struggle and it's not because he has some unique surprising gimmick... no, far be it for our MC to have some sort of personality. He just has quite literally everything. Now don't get me wrong, I love an overpowered MC as much as the next guy... Hell, I'm a huge fan of Overlord. The problem is that we don't have even 5% of what makes Overlord so great. There are no stakes, not even fabricated stakes. There is never any sense of urgency. There is no intrigue. There are just a stream of problems that the MC instantly resolves.

  Speaking of a vapid supporting cast, the MC's harem is top contender for most insipid. Each member is a carbon copy of the other with the exception that they're technically different people so they look different. They are all immediately capture by the MC who begrudgingly accepts their affection(poor MC). Surely the parents of these girls would have some sort of sense, right? Their daughters are being courted by a single person so it would make sense for them to force our dear shota to choose, no? Well, no. This anime introduces us into its fantasy world with polygamy by showing us that the MC's father has two wives who live in perfect harmony with each other, laying the foundation for the MC to induct as many women as he wants into a frictionless marriage because all the women are content to share the MC cause he's such a great man(boy). In fact, the parents of said girls gush over the MC about as much as their daughters do.

  At the end of the day, Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku is not noteworthy and will never be noteworthy. There is no plot. There are no characters. The world building is cookie cutter medieval anime fantasy. The art is not good enough to carry all of this midness. It delivers nothing new and revels in its mockery of actually good isekais.

  The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure's lackluster isekai offering.

  When it comes to watching anime in a highly saturated genre, like being transported to or reincarnated in a fantasy world, whether good or bad, we often hope to discover something fresh and unique that adds a novel twist to the series. Unfortunately, with The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventures, this expectation falls flat. The show largely follows a generic checklist of isekai tropes, lacking any distinctive character development. While most events in the series are intended for humor, they fail to elicit genuine laughter. The entire episode failed to evoke a single chuckle from people. Frankly, unless the audience is particularly drawn to the character designs of the potential harem members hinted at in the opening or ending credits, there isn't a compelling reason to continue watching this series.

  The story revolves around a young man who dies heroically in modern Japan and wakes up in a child's body in a fantasy world. He possesses exceptional abilities and decides to become an adventurer, with girls fawning over him, including his older sister. The series incorporates typical RPG elements like stat windows and level systems. The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure might have had a more muscular debut if it had made an effort to distinguish itself or, at the very least, improve upon the familiar tropes of similar stories. However, it offers little more than we've seen countless times before.

  One notable aspect of this episode is its lighthearted tone, avoiding the seriousness often associated with isekai anime. Once the initial setup is out of the way, this could make the series enjoyable in a lighthearted manner. However, certain world-building aspects, such as the peculiar "social debut at age five," raise questions about the story's consistency. Furthermore, unexplained gaps in the narrative leave much to be desired, indicating a rushed and unconvincing storytelling approach.

  Overall, if the audience has a deep affinity for this particular iteration of the isekai genre, The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure offers little substance. It manages to be irritating and unappealing, yet it fails to be shocking. The episode combines tedium and annoyance while condensing multiple exposition episodes into a single, unremarkable installment.

  This series borrows unenthusiastically from the last 1,000 isekai shows, delivering its content with a shouting figure's finesse. The main character, lacking charisma, dies heroically and is reborn as a mighty magic-infused child in a generic fantasy realm. The episode primarily consists of an exposition thrown at the protagonist for 20 minutes. Even the entire pantheon of gods in this world appears to inform the protagonist of his extraordinary nature, resulting in a formulaic and uninspired narrative. It's a monotonous and exhausting experience, with incessantly loud voice acting and generic, cheap music. Poor editing and direction only worsen the viewing experience, as scenes are recycled, and the animation quality remains subpar.

  Every moment feels like a futile struggle, like someone trying to run up a descending escalator, expending energy but accomplishing little. It's becoming more work to articulate new criticisms for these formulaic isekai anime that lack any attempt at differentiation. The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure offers absolutely nothing to even the most dedicated genre enthusiasts. The main character, Shiina, meets an untimely death while foiling a pointless murder attempt, only to wake up as a wealthy toddler named Cain, retaining his old memories, accompanied by a sister with a brother complex and a slew of magical powers. The premiere is characterized by shrill line delivery and a consistently corny soundtrack as the series attempts to position itself as a comedy. However, it needs to deliver genuine humor. The closest thing to a mildly amusing moment is when the protagonist meets the titular gods, who reveal the absurdity of his demise, highlighting the sheer pointlessness of the entire premise. Suppose the audience needed confirmation that a series lacks a compelling reason to exist. In that case, The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure repeatedly emphasizes that its whole concept hinges on divine pity for a foolish protagonist who died most embarrassingly, ultimately becoming someone else's problem in another universe—a sentiment that viewers may find all too relatable.
