Hey there and welcome back to Rival Reviews . So

0:03

, like I talked about last week , this week is

0:06

going to be basically talking about my first impressions

0:08

of things that came

0:10

out this season . So

0:12

I figured I'd kind of just go one by one , no

0:15

particular order , just kind of like where

0:17

I'm caught up and have best memory

0:19

of . So first one

0:22

I want to kind of bring up is uh mushoku

0:24

tensai , jobless reincarnation . Um

0:27

, the interesting part about re

0:29

watching this one is is that now

0:31

that I've caught up with the manga

0:34

, I kind of already know where this

0:36

is going . Um , it is kind

0:38

of cool still to watch it , animated of course

0:40

, because like I , like I said I would say

0:42

, if anything , this is probably one of the strongest isekais

0:44

out there . Um , so

0:47

, as we are kind of at right now , there's

0:50

not really going to be any kind of like I

0:54

don't know , like there's not going to be any kind of big , bad magical

0:56

fights in this season , which I think feel like

0:58

a lot of people are going to be , I

1:01

guess , a little frustrated about this one's kind of more

1:03

, like I kind of spoke

1:05

of last episode

1:08

, it's going to be more about , like

1:10

the life that he's

1:13

living and like

1:15

the life that he's building with Sophie after getting

1:17

married and everything else like that . So

1:21

, yeah , so the marriage has officially taken place

1:23

. You know , they have

1:25

a house , um

1:27

. So we kind of had like the I

1:29

guess initial opening

1:32

of those things happening

1:34

. Not much happened , um , you

1:36

know , there was the 10

1:39

second duel he had with the , the

1:42

other guard , just to kind of

1:44

prove that he could protect sylphie

1:46

, um , and

1:49

really honest . And then we had like the

1:51

, uh , the haunting , not haunting

1:53

, of the house with the , with the doll . So

1:56

I feel like this season is definitely going to

1:58

be like introducing a lot

2:00

of different things , like , for instance

2:02

, like the , the doll that they found , or whatever

2:05

it kind of brings in the whole , uh

2:08

, idea of multiple , uh , multiple

2:10

layering , um , magic

2:12

circles , which came into effect

2:14

for the first time in the latest episode

2:16

, um , where

2:19

nene yoshi is trying

2:21

to make a subbing

2:24

circle , essentially to then then reverse

2:26

, engineer it to send herself

2:28

back home , and she successfully

2:31

, you know , brought over

2:33

a plastic water bottle , which

2:35

plastic does not exist in this world

2:37

. So clearly it has succeeded

2:40

in some form , succeeded in some

2:42

form . And yeah , further from that

2:44

, he just got the letter from

2:46

Paul that he is sending his little sisters

2:49

Over to him to watch , which

2:52

I know is going to be a big part , probably

2:54

, of this thing , because it's kind of

2:56

like the family dynamics , because

2:59

obviously the last time that he Saw

3:01

his one little sister they

3:04

really did not get along along in any way , shape or form , and you

3:06

know , the last time that they he saw them

3:08

before that they were both babies

3:11

, um , so obviously

3:13

they have no memories with him or

3:15

anything at all before the major uh

3:17

teleportation . So

3:20

, yeah , so that's kind

3:23

of , I think , going to be the major um

3:25

thing that we're going to be watching is kind

3:27

of like him trying

3:29

to create , you know , some

3:33

semblance of a relationship with his sisters

3:35

, um . So , like I said , if you're

3:37

hoping and expecting for some cool

3:39

magic fights

3:42

, everything else , you're not really going to get much of that

3:44

this season , that much I am aware of . But

3:46

it's still fun , especially if you

3:49

know you like the development

3:51

of a good story and a good family arc

3:53

, and that's kind of where we're

3:55

going right now with that one . So

3:58

next

4:00

up is , as reincarnated

4:03

aristocrat , I'll use my appraisal Skill to

4:05

Rise in the World . This

4:07

one's fun , this one's

4:10

also one that I have also read . It

4:13

has been a very long time . So it's actually kind

4:15

of nice that it's been a long time , because I

4:18

do , at the very least , know that

4:20

I enjoy the story . But

4:22

I can't remember like everything

4:24

in complete detail . Um

4:26

, kind of where we're

4:28

at right now . We're kind of really still in the preliminary

4:31

stages . Um , our

4:33

reincarnated guy is , uh , you know , still

4:35

a child and basically , essentially

4:37

, he's gathering his , uh , his

4:40

, his crew . Um

4:42

, I will say that what I like about this one

4:44

is that like though it doesn't like throw

4:47

it in your face , I would say it's

4:49

very much a good lesson on

4:51

. You know , it doesn't matter where you come from . If

4:53

you have the talent , that's

4:55

kind of all that matters . Um

4:59

, you know , so the first person that he

5:01

picks up is like uh , I

5:03

guess if we wanted to use like a real

5:06

life kind of

5:08

idea , would be like

5:10

an immigrant type

5:12

of thing and he's looked down on

5:14

and everything else like that . But you

5:17

know , our main character , ours , doesn't

5:19

see it like that . He

5:21

has the ability , obviously , to

5:24

appraise people's skills

5:26

and everything else like that , and he

5:29

didn't care who he was or where he came from . He

5:31

saw that he had talent . So he's like yep , I

5:33

need to make you a retainer , um

5:36

, so there's that . And

5:38

then we just recently , um , in

5:40

the latest episode , got

5:42

uh , uh

5:44

so like , kind of like . So so the first retainer , he's

5:46

kind of more of like a , like a fighter , brawler

5:49

type of dealy

5:51

, like , basically he's just really good

5:53

at combat , where , um , this

5:56

new edition is , uh

5:59

, a magician , um

6:01

, and like an Sclass mage at

6:03

that . Um had

6:06

never used magic before , ever um

6:08

, but obviously with the

6:10

use of the appraisal skill he got to see

6:12

, uh , that s rank

6:15

um and

6:17

again kind of in an uh , I

6:19

guess you could say unorthodox fashion

6:21

, um , she was

6:24

a slave kind

6:26

of migrant of the streets . You

6:29

know stealing bread from people

6:31

and you know trying

6:34

to protect the other young slaves

6:37

slash , you know orphan kids

6:39

, um , but

6:42

again , that didn't matter because you know

6:44

she saw that she

6:46

was talented um , and

6:48

uh took her in and

6:51

uh , yeah , so , um , I

6:53

think , if I'm , if I'm not mistaken , I do know

6:55

at a certain point in time we are

6:58

going to get a time skip where ours kind

7:00

of turns more into like a teenager Um

7:03

, I

7:05

have a feeling that that's gonna happen pretty

7:07

soon . I do know that there

7:09

is a war currently going on . So

7:12

I'm pretty sure that , like , we're gonna get a little

7:14

bit of snippets of that . But again , the the

7:16

, I guess kind of harsh reality of

7:18

that is . I'm not sure how much

7:20

we're going to see because because , if memory serves in the

7:22

manga , obviously R still being

7:25

a child , he's not

7:27

going to be there , but the retainers will be going

7:29

in his stead . So

7:34

I don't know if we're actually going to get any glimpses of

7:36

that and if anything , they're probably just going to be like

7:38

little flashes . But

7:41

yeah , so all in all , I'm

7:43

enjoying this one and

8:07

I think , like I said , kind of where it's going . Like I said , I do know , at a certain point in time we

8:09

do get a time skip , um , and then it's going to kind of just be more him , you know they kind of

8:11

uh foreshadowed in the first episode . Um , you know he becomes the Lord of the area and um

8:13

, I'm assuming big changes are going to start happening once we get to that point

8:15

in the story . Um , and that's kind

8:18

of all we can infer at this point

8:20

. Next up , we got god's

8:22

games we play . This

8:25

one is super interesting to me because

8:27

it is definitely not one

8:30

that I was

8:32

expecting to enjoy

8:34

as much . It is a little strange and

8:37

I'm a little concerned in terms

8:39

of like pacing and

8:41

stuff for this one , because so

8:43

basically the premise of this if you haven't

8:45

gotten uh into it too much

8:47

is that there's

8:50

basically a way that they can kind of virtually

8:52

put themselves into a

8:56

game that plays against the gods and

8:58

if they get 10 wins , um

9:01

, they get a wish granted . But

9:03

if they lose three once

9:07

, they lose three times , they

9:10

essentially like lose their chance

9:12

of ever getting their wish granted

9:14

. So

9:17

the nice part is that , like it's not like you know

9:19

, I guess there's

9:21

no realm of like death or anything

9:24

like that , because it's all based on you know , games . I guess at least no realm

9:26

of like death or anything like that , because it's all based on you know games , I guess , at

9:28

least for the time being , um

9:31

and so yeah , so so far

9:33

, um , at least um , four episodes

9:35

in , so I guess there's been about three

9:38

, two , two to

9:40

three different games Um

9:43

and

9:45

basically Um and uh . Basically our , our , our main

9:47

character , faye um , already

9:50

had three wins under his belt , so now it

9:52

looks like he has five Um

9:54

, I am interested

9:56

to see if we do end up getting

9:59

to the 10th by the end of this

10:01

. But I don't know

10:03

. We're already four episodes in and

10:05

if

10:08

what I'm assuming is going to be 12

10:10

episodes , um , unless

10:12

they have some kind of skip , like you

10:15

know . Oh , now he's reached seven

10:17

, eight and now we're on to the 10th

10:19

and go on from there . Um

10:22

, but I don't

10:24

know , I'm not sure if we have the right type of

10:27

pacing for that to uh occur

10:29

. Um , it's not one

10:31

that , like I'm generally like super excited

10:33

for every week , but I do , I do enjoy

10:36

it , it is nice . Um , I

10:38

don't really have a semblance of an idea as

10:40

to where it's going to end up , cause

10:42

, like I said , it's definitely going to be a 12 episoder

10:44

. I just

10:46

I don't know how

10:49

far it can go to

10:52

to to make it that that

10:55

way . Like , I'm not sure if it'll . Like

10:59

I said , I'm not sure if the popularity enough

11:01

is going to be there

11:03

to give it a second season . If there is going to

11:05

be a second season , um

11:07

, again , a lot of people were

11:09

saying that this is kind of a mix

11:11

between a liar

11:13

, liar kind of meets uh , no game

11:16

, no life , which I guess I can

11:18

see to a certain extent because the whole no game , no , between Liar , liar meets no Game , no

11:20

Life , which I guess I can see to a certain extent because of the whole no Game , no Life . They're

11:23

basically facing another world's games

11:25

type of thing . So

11:28

I can see it to a certain extent , but obviously

11:30

I wouldn't put it in the

11:33

realm of it's as

11:35

big or going to be as big as no

11:37

Game , no life , um , but

11:39

it's , it's okay for what it is . I I

11:41

am interested to see where it goes from here . Another

11:45

one that I've been watching that I'm not like super

11:49

, like like I've read

11:51

it and like it's fine , but

11:54

it's not going to like turn any heads Is

11:56

um . I've begun my life

11:58

in another world or

12:00

sorry , chilling in another world with level

12:02

2 super cheat powers . Again

12:06

, it's just like your run-of-the-mill-like

12:08

. He got transported

12:10

, um . He got looked

12:13

down on because of his stats , um

12:16

. He was basically ditched in the wilderness by

12:18

the king and then you

12:20

know , he did one thing uh

12:23

, kind of on accident , um

12:25

he took , he used holy magic which

12:27

he didn't even think that he had Um

12:29

, and took out entire forest and like leveled

12:32

up like 700 times or something

12:34

, um , and now he's completely

12:36

overpowered and nobody can take him . Um

12:38

, so it's kind of another

12:41

one of those nice like you know you

12:44

, you just get to enjoy watching

12:47

him overpower

12:49

literally everybody that he comes in

12:51

contact with . Like there's

12:53

a like in the latest episode , um

12:56

, like one of the Rangers from like the demon army or whatever brings . Like in the latest episode , um , like one of the rangers

12:58

from like the demon army or whatever brings like what

13:00

is supposed to be like one

13:03

of the most scary things on on earth . Like

13:05

they brings like whole the , like the dragon

13:07

army of the dark ones or whatever , and

13:10

he takes out all of them in like

13:13

10 seconds . Um , it's

13:15

like that type of thing . Um , it's

13:18

comfort watch , especially like if you are

13:20

a fan of the isekai genre . Um

13:23

, so , yeah , so if

13:25

you're , if you're a fan of just watching like the ones

13:27

with , like the main character

13:29

that's super overpowered and everything else , this definitely

13:32

will fill the void for you for sure . Um

13:34

, I do think that there are stronger

13:37

, um , kind of isekai-ish

13:39

kind of ones or reincarnation

13:41

, if you want to , if you want to think of

13:43

it that way that are probably stronger this season

13:45

. Um , this one's still okay

13:47

and again there's kind of the

13:49

you know slice of life-esque part

13:52

of like you know him

13:54

kind of marrying , uh

13:56

, an old commander of the demon

13:59

army that basically fell

14:01

in love with the fact that he's completely overpowered . So

14:05

yeah , there's that aspect to it too . So

14:07

yeah , I would say , more than anything , that this is definitely

14:09

a comfort watch than anything else

14:11

, but it's still entertaining in its own right

14:13

. A perfect example

14:16

of this would be the time I got reincarnated

14:18

as a slime Again

14:20

. I think this is a go-to of Isekai , like

14:23

favorite Isekai for a lot of different people . I'll

14:27

be interested to see where this season

14:29

kind of goes , because obviously

14:31

I think a lot of people are

14:34

noticing that this season is definitely

14:37

starting out fairly slow , like I

14:39

would argue that like the first two or three episodes

14:42

were kind of recap

14:44

for kind of the situation

14:46

of like where everybody

14:48

is in the world , which isn't necessarily

14:50

a bad thing , because I will

14:52

say that the one thing that kind

14:55

of always throws me off in

14:57

this one particularly is that there is so many

14:59

characters and so much

15:01

going on and so much has already happened

15:03

in the world that it was almost kind of nice

15:05

to have kind of the like

15:09

reminder of things that were going on . Um

15:12

, and then , of course , obviously

15:14

I think it was important to kind of uh

15:17

see , see , it

15:23

was interesting to see everybody's different point of view and to how

15:25

they were affected after , uh , the Walpurgis happened , um

15:27

, and after um

15:29

, he has become a

15:32

demon Lord , um

15:34

, so I think that that was also important

15:36

too . Um , as it kind of stands

15:38

right now , at least from the last episode

15:41

that currently just aired , looking

15:43

like , basically they're officially going to announce

15:46

basically the existence of this city

15:48

to the entire world , because it

15:50

kind of sounds as if at

15:53

least the idea is that , because people are going

15:55

to have to start , I guess , asking

15:57

for permission , now that he's a demon , people are going

15:59

to have to start , I guess , asking for permission , now that he's a demon King , to

16:01

actually or a demon Lord

16:03

, sorry to actually like live in his territory , territory

16:05

that he's going to have to like get . They're

16:07

going to have to get permission from him . So

16:10

, because he's going to be having all these visitors , he's just

16:12

kind of accepting them and

16:14

accepting that this might come up as

16:17

a sort of like

16:19

population boom for Tempest

16:21

. So , yeah

16:24

, so , kind of , right now , I think , um , it's

16:26

going to be more focusing on like the political stuff

16:28

, like there is obviously stuff still going on in the background

16:30

like we know about , like um , the

16:33

holy nation's kind of plans of

16:35

you know , at least keeping an eye on

16:37

things and how they're going . And then

16:39

we kind of had like the clown minions and everything

16:41

else looking

16:44

like they definitely have a plan , but we just don't know what the

16:46

plan is per se

16:48

. So obviously there will be

16:50

something probably going on in

16:53

that realm , probably later in the season

16:55

, but it kind of looks like right now they're going to focus on

16:57

more of the political

16:59

kind of . You

17:02

know , now that he has this

17:04

role , what

17:06

this new role kind of brings

17:09

to the table and what , what , what , what

17:11

that's going to mean for the , for the , for

17:14

the city , um , and

17:16

yeah , so I'm definitely interested . I think

17:18

it's going to be like right now we're kind of more than

17:21

like , like I said , like kind of like a political

17:23

, further world

17:25

building stage of this anime

17:27

. Um , so be interested to see

17:29

where that goes . Next

17:32

one that I want to talk about is probably one of my favorites

17:34

for this entire season , which is Windbreaker

17:37

. This was completely

17:39

underneath my radar . I didn't

17:42

think that I was going to be watching this at all

17:44

, and then I decided to try and watch

17:46

the first episode and

17:49

it's just , it's awesome

17:51

. It's kind of like it has a very like Tokyo

17:53

Revengers feel to it , which is why I think

17:55

I enjoy it so much , because I really enjoy Tokyoo

17:57

revengers as well . Um

18:00

, doesn't seem to be like , as

18:02

I

18:04

don't know , like , as like there

18:07

is definitely like turf wars and everything else

18:09

involved in windbreaker , but it's more

18:11

the idea of

18:13

, instead of like fighting just for the fact of the idea

18:15

of , instead of like fighting , just for the fact of the name

18:17

of your gang , you're actually fighting

18:19

for something Like , for

18:22

instance , the ones that go to Fjörnheim

18:25

or whatever they go

18:27

by Boforin , basically

18:30

defenders of the city . So , basically

18:32

, essentially like , if there are other gangs like

18:34

, their main purpose is

18:36

like , if other gangs decide to come in

18:38

and start wreaking havoc on the city , they'll

18:41

step in to protect the people of the city

18:43

, which

18:51

I don't know , it's just kind or

18:54

, or , or whatever . You , you , you , however

18:56

you want to put it , it's more like they're

18:59

actually just trying to make

19:01

the city a better place , um

19:04

, by still being strong enough

19:06

to fight the battles , but not looking

19:09

for a fight , which is interesting

19:11

because obviously our lead um

19:14

character , his , his main premise

19:16

for coming here was because he wanted to , you

19:19

know , fight the best of the best . So

19:21

it kind of almost goes against that . But at the same

19:23

time he gets to do

19:25

that while doing something good , which

19:29

also kind of helps him in the sense because , like

19:31

you know , we are going to learn more

19:33

about his past . But from what we can gather

19:35

already from the first couple episodes

19:37

is , uh , you

19:39

know , all his life he's basically been made fun of

19:41

because the way he looks , or , you

19:43

know , cast aside because the way he looks and

19:45

everything else like that , which has

19:48

kind of made him feel a certain way . And now

19:50

he's being accepted

19:52

, like accepted for who he

19:54

is , um , and he's

19:57

not used to that . So there's kind of

19:59

like a mixture of like . Obviously there's like these

20:01

kind of gang

20:04

politics going on , but there's also like

20:06

inner growth in himself , like

20:09

accepting who he is because other

20:11

people are accepting

20:13

him for who he is Um . So

20:15

yeah , I'm super excited to see where this one's going to

20:17

go , kind of like the main conflict

20:19

. Already it kind of looks like in

20:22

the latest episode they

20:25

saved a middle school kid from

20:28

being on the turf of , I guess

20:30

, a boundary that they kind of share

20:32

with a different gang which

20:35

are hard on

20:37

even their own members . Um

20:40

, so clearly there's it looks , at least it

20:42

looks like there's going to be kind of like a turf war against

20:44

this other gang . Um

20:46

, so it'll be . Clearly , I think there's

20:49

going to be a lot of build up maybe to to

20:51

to that um . So it'll

20:53

be interesting to see how uh goes

20:55

. And yeah , I'm just kind of overall excited about

20:57

this one Um , and so far at

21:00

least it's . It's uh definitely

21:02

in the top for me of which ones

21:04

I'm looking forward to uh each

21:06

week . So the next one I want to talk

21:08

about is remonster . Again

21:10

, this one is really good . Um

21:13

, I read a little bit of it . I haven't

21:15

read it to completion , but it is definitely a

21:17

fun one . I would definitely

21:19

. If you're

21:21

a fan of Slime , you're

21:23

definitely going to be a fan of this show because it's very

21:27

I don't want to say it's the same , but it definitely

21:30

does . The beginning , especially

21:32

what's happening right now , is very similar

21:34

. So basically , essentially , our

21:36

main character gets reincarnated as a weak

21:39

, you know , creature or

21:41

fantasy creature , I guess that we're used to which is just

21:43

like a little goblin , um

21:46

, but

21:49

due to , I guess

21:51

, a power

21:53

he had from his previous life , he's

21:56

able to , like , absorb other

21:58

people's abilities and

22:01

in this regard it seems to be

22:03

anything that he eats he can grab

22:05

their skills from . So

22:08

, more and more he obviously did

22:11

this and has now evolved into

22:13

an ogre

22:15

from , but like it's like a rare

22:17

kind of derivative of an ogre from , but like it's

22:19

like a rare kind of derivative of an ogre , and then it also

22:22

kind of stems , like that kind of feeling

22:24

that you get from Slime with the whole . Like you

22:26

know , now he's kind of the head of this

22:28

village and it kind of looks like they're . You

22:31

know , at first they

22:34

, I guess , collected some humans

22:37

, so there's humans now involved , there's

22:39

kobolds involved , looking

22:41

like there might be some elves getting

22:44

involved , and they're kind of creating

22:46

this , you know , not

22:49

so much a village , because there's like it's still a small

22:51

number of people just kind of in a cave , but

22:53

his , his . The

22:56

old way of thinking for the goblins was that , like you , you

22:58

just have to fight for survival and you kill whatever is

23:00

not you know yours , and

23:02

then they pillage and , you know , take

23:04

the women to , kind of , you

23:07

know , make their species

23:09

go on . It's probably the politically

23:12

correct way to put it , but

23:15

he isn't like this , you know , like he's just like like

23:17

look , nobody's going to touch you and everything

23:19

else , like that You're all good , and

23:21

then they actually form a relationship

23:24

with him , but in a consensual

23:26

way , yeah

23:29

. So this is kind of it looks like where we're at

23:31

. We're kind of four episodes in now and

23:34

it's kind of looking like what's going to happen right now is that

23:36

he's going to get involved in a war

23:38

that's going to be happening between the humans and

23:41

the elves in the forest . So

23:43

I think that'll be kind of interesting to see what

23:45

the outcome of that would be , because right now , again

23:48

, it's very similar to the fact that he's

23:51

pretty overpowered , especially for who he is . So

23:54

I'm assuming that he's going to be a deciding factor

23:56

on whichever side

23:59

wins , because that's the other thing too . It's not really

24:01

clear , like the elves being pompous

24:03

, they were just basically expecting his help

24:05

, but he said that really

24:08

he's only going to get involved if the humans mess with him

24:10

. So it'll be interesting to see

24:12

if it kind of goes the slime direction where , like you know

24:14

, he meets with the humans and

24:16

the humans kind of like maybe strike a deal with

24:18

him or at least , like you know , form

24:21

a diplomatic relationship with them . I don't know

24:23

, it'll be interesting to see and I'm interested

24:25

to see where this one goes next

24:28

on the docket . The irregular magic

24:30

high school . I

24:33

don't really know what to say about this one . Like so far

24:35

, it's been pretty tame , like the whole . I don't know there was a say about this one

24:37

. Like so far , it's been pretty tame , like the whole . I don't know there was a little weird

24:40

situation of Herwan

24:42

to celebrate his birthday alone , but

24:44

nothing happened . The

24:46

siblings are weird man . But if you overlook that

24:48

, everything else that's going on with this anime is pretty

24:50

cool . So , as we know

24:52

from Season 2 , the Scorched Earth experiment

24:55

happened , where they took out the tower and everything else

24:57

like that , and

25:06

now into the scorched earth experiment happened , where they took out the

25:08

tower and everything else like that . And

25:10

now what's happening is is that the media essentially is trying

25:12

to basically make it look like that the

25:15

high school is being used to create a military

25:17

superpower , um , and

25:19

that the high school should

25:21

be shut down due to this . In

25:25

the latest episode we got to see that what they had done

25:27

is that they created an experiment

25:29

that would basically create clean thermonuclear

25:31

energy , which

25:34

would be good for society versus

25:37

anything

25:39

else . So

25:47

that in itself , they're essentially just kind of playing

25:49

with the media because basically

25:51

, clearly , somebody had set up a meeting with

25:53

I guess I think it's the prime

25:55

minister um , to

25:58

uh come up , uh and

26:00

basically see that that's

26:03

what they're doing and to , you know , create

26:05

them like , basically mock them in the media

26:08

and everything else like that . So him and a whole

26:10

crap ton of uh , uh

26:12

reporters came as they were

26:14

doing the experiment . Um

26:16

, then the experiment succeeded and it kind of

26:18

made the prime minister's hands tied and he basically had

26:21

to say , yes , like I'm

26:23

glad that the students are doing something for the good of society

26:25

, and like , and , of course , the journalists

26:28

that were looking for , uh , you

26:30

know , a dramatic uh piece to go

26:32

against the magicians , uh , left

26:34

empty handed , essentially because

26:36

you know they

26:41

positions left empty-handed essentially because they were

26:43

doing good yeah

26:45

, so kind of . Right now I'm going to be honest , I'm not really

26:47

entirely sure where I see this one going . I do know

26:49

that , at least what we know from the Yotsubas

26:51

, we know that America is going to start probably

26:54

making a move because they might be threatened

26:57

by the power that the utsubas

26:59

currently hold . Um

27:01

, so I think that

27:03

we'll probably get more information

27:06

as the as the thing goes on , and there seems

27:08

to also be some like kind of like uh

27:10

, inner clan

27:12

issues as well

27:15

that seem to be happening . Um

27:17

, like there's this one

27:19

with like a some

27:23

kind of inferiority complex or something I'm not entirely sure . Um that

27:25

wants to go against the Sagu says which um

27:27

is the family of . Uh , I

27:30

guess the X class president

27:32

, I guess now because she's graduated . Um

27:35

and her father also

27:37

kind of seems to be in some shady dealings , like

27:40

actually working with the anti-magic establishment

27:42

, but for the sake of the magic establishment

27:45

, I don't know . So

27:47

there's a lot going on . I think right now we're

27:49

still very much because there's only three

27:51

episodes , so I think we're still very much in the preamble

27:54

setup , so it's kind of hard

27:56

to know exactly where this is going

27:58

, but I do see some

28:00

good drama coming our way . So

28:03

hopefully the fanfare

28:05

is at

28:08

a minimum and we actually get some

28:10

good storytelling . That would be the best

28:12

for this case . Next

28:15

up , I was reincarnated as a Seventh

28:17

Prince , so I can take my time perfecting my magical

28:19

ability . Uh , first and foremost

28:22

, my probably my most favorite part about this

28:24

show is just how mentally

28:27

unstable the main character is . He's

28:30

basically just like a fanatic for magic

28:33

, and he was a fanatic in

28:35

his past life for magic

28:37

, but he was of common

28:39

birth . So I guess

28:42

in this world you need to have like

28:44

noble blood to have

28:46

strong magic , and so he's

28:48

reincarnated as a noble in this one

28:50

. So he came

28:52

back with the knowledge that he already had at a fanatic

28:54

, but now he has the power

28:58

to to

29:00

actually like use his theories

29:02

. Um , so

29:06

it's kind of funny because it's also like he's trying to

29:08

like also , uh , like

29:10

hide it , because he doesn't want to be like the

29:12

hero or anything like . All he wants to do is

29:14

literally just study magic . Um

29:17

, so , like you know , he's like

29:19

doing things for fun and stuff like that and it's completely

29:21

overpowered . Like he learned how to write

29:23

enchantments on weapons , for instance

29:25

, and they're completely overpowered . But

29:27

he just was like , oh well , it's just

29:29

a fun experiment and like just

29:32

left it at that . Again

29:35

, in terms of like actual substance of the show

29:38

, I wouldn't really say there's it's

29:41

, it's a . Again , it's very much just

29:43

, if you like watching an overpowered

29:45

main character this

29:48

is . This is the show for you . Um

29:50

, as to where it's going , there really

29:52

is kind of no big bad

29:54

as of yet . Like he's , he's kind

29:56

of just trying to learn more and more

29:59

about magic , so I'm assuming that he'll

30:01

just learn more and more ridiculous things as they go

30:04

on . But it's also fairly early . It's

30:06

only like four episodes in , so who

30:08

knows . But it is a fun watch

30:11

. I would give it a shot if you

30:13

want something to fill the void , if

30:17

you're finding that your list is lacking this

30:19

season . It's a pretty

30:22

fun one to watch . Next

30:24

, we got the Banished Former Hero

30:26

Lives as he Pleases . This one is

30:28

kind of following a similar arc to

30:30

a few things that we spoke about last season

30:32

, but essentially

30:34

it's a guy

30:37

that already has lived a past life as a hero

30:39

. This time he kind of just wants to kind

30:41

of chill out Um , but in this

30:44

life he's given like a , I

30:46

guess , a uh . He has a

30:48

low level uh and lack

30:50

of a God given gift , um

30:53

, but because it has this heroes , he

30:55

has his past um , life skills

30:58

and everything else , like that . He's actually completely

31:00

overpowered . Um , it kind of looks like

31:03

uh , so he basically at the beginning he gets banished

31:05

from his own duchy Um

31:07

, and then it kind of looks

31:09

like that his father and older brother

31:11

or maybe it's his younger brother , it's

31:14

a brother either way . Younger

31:21

brother , it's a brother either way . Um are actually working with the demons

31:23

to , I guess , kind of make a deal with giving them more power , type of thing , but not

31:25

knowing that their son , that they

31:27

thought was completely useless , is

31:29

like destroying and interrupting

31:32

all of their plans , um , so it's

31:34

pretty classic in that sense . Um

31:36

, it's like

31:39

said it isn't one that I would say that I'm necessarily

31:42

like excited for . I find

31:44

that this one's very much a patter

31:46

for my um

31:48

weekly watches , just because

31:50

, like it's , it's nothing new . Like it's , you

31:52

know , he's completely overpowered because he has his past memories

31:54

. He's screwing over his

31:57

old family instead of , like you know

31:59

, the old party in this kind

32:01

of niche of anime , um

32:04

. So I'm not expecting

32:07

anything too crazy to come

32:09

from this Um . I'll

32:12

give it a shot . I'm going to keep watching it . Um

32:15

, but I would say that if there is one

32:18

that I might drop , it

32:21

would probably be this one . Um

32:23

, I would say that a lot of critics agree

32:25

to like . I think it only has like a 3.2

32:28

on cruncher roll , which for

32:30

something at least of this archetype , is

32:32

pretty low , like that's fairly

32:35

low , because I find that most um , new

32:37

things or rated things on cultural like

32:39

, usually stay in like the 4 4.8

32:43

kind of range . Um

32:45

, if it's not like a ridiculous favorite um

32:48

, but for it to actually be in like

32:50

the low threes , um , I think does

32:52

say something . Um , yeah

32:55

, so I'll , I'll , I'll keep giving it a

32:57

shot , like I I said I think that it is still too

32:59

early , um , but

33:01

it's also , I would say , probably one of the

33:03

more predictable storylines , um

33:05

, from this season

33:07

. And finally

33:10

, I want to talk about , uh , oblivion Battery

33:12

. Uh , this one kind of actually started

33:14

a bit later , so we only actually have a couple episodes

33:17

out . Like

33:23

I said , I'm a sucker for a sports story , especially

33:25

when it comes to baseball , because it's like my favorite

33:27

sport . I will say it is kind of lagging

33:30

a little bit , at least in terms of pace

33:32

, for me . But again

33:34

, it's kind of hard to tell because it's already two

33:36

episodes in . But if anybody knows anything about baseball

33:39

, you know you need your infield

33:41

, your outfield , a pitcher and a catcher

33:43

right and right now , just to

33:45

give you pacing . So like . The idea is that

33:47

, because of the whole amnesia story

33:49

arc of the catcher

33:52

in the battery , the pitcher follows

33:54

him because he refuses to have anybody else

33:56

as his catcher , but the

33:58

high school that they choose to go to doesn't

34:00

have an active baseball team . Obviously

34:04

, there is going to be a

34:07

baseball team by the end of this , but

34:09

so far , at least in terms

34:11

of , I guess , finding

34:14

characters . We have , you

34:17

know , obviously , the pitcher and the catcher , which are the , who

34:19

are the two main characters that are being followed . And

34:22

then again , right now , we're

34:24

in that very stereotypical no

34:26

, I came here because there was no baseball , but

34:28

they're very clearly going to end up joining

34:31

the team at some point . And then we have

34:33

, and their positions look to be

34:35

second and shortstop , and then

34:37

we have an outfielder , one

34:40

outfielder . So that means we're still looking for

34:43

at least a full

34:45

team , not including any substitutions

34:47

or coaching or

34:49

anything like that . We are still looking for

34:51

two more outfielders , a third baseman and a first

34:53

baseman and a first baseman

34:56

. And then , you know , I'm assuming that at some

34:58

point there's going to be a whole episode in regards to

35:00

try and find a , a technical

35:02

advisor or something to become

35:05

their coach or or something

35:07

along those lines . Um , so

35:11

yeah , so I'm a little kind of concerned about the pacing

35:13

on this because if we're looking at 12 episodes

35:15

, are we even going to get like a

35:17

game of baseball or is this

35:20

just going to be solely based on them

35:22

? You know , for

35:24

I'm just a little concerned that the next like

35:26

you know , four or five episodes , the only thing

35:28

that's going to be happening is that they're going to be finding quote

35:31

baseball players that only

35:33

came here to not play baseball anymore but are

35:35

going to end up playing baseball anyway . And

35:37

that's my concern . And

35:40

I'm kind of more excited for , like you know , the

35:43

after of that , like when they finally start playing

35:45

and trying to mesh together . Because , at least

35:47

in my mind , we're all ready for story

35:49

one . We have to get the rest of the team

35:51

, get the coach , find

35:54

people to play with , have

35:56

the one game that where they struggle to have any

35:59

semblance of teamwork because they've never played before

36:01

, and then finally persevere

36:03

and become a really

36:06

strong underdog team , and

36:08

then , plus , we have all the amnesia with

36:11

the catcher and everything else to also deal with in

36:13

the story . So

36:15

I am a little concerned . I am going to keep

36:17

watching because because , like I said , it's really the only one

36:19

, at least sport-wise and everything else , that's even

36:21

playing this season . So

36:24

it kind of fits an area that I feel

36:26

has been lacking in past seasons

36:28

recently . So

36:31

I will keep at it and I'm hoping that

36:33

it , you know , maybe

36:36

turns out better than I

36:39

think it's going to be . And

36:41

that's it , guys . I have it all caught up

36:43

. So those are my first impressions of this

36:46

season thus far . Let

36:49

me know what you guys think . Let me know

36:52

if you think there are any shows that I may be

36:54

overlooked , that I should talk about and or check

36:56

out . And yeah , so Rival X reviews on all your social medias , and I'll see you in the next one . Shows that

36:58

I maybe overlooked , that I should talk about and or check out . And uh , yeah , so Rival X reviews on all your social

37:00

medias and , uh , I'll see you in the

37:02

next one , buh-bye .
