>Touya Mochizuki was accidentally killed, and as an apology, God allows him to be reborn in a fantasy world and will grant him any one wish he desires. And so, Touya chooses to keep his smartphone in the next world. In his second chance at life, he befriends many important figures and comes across the world's secret. He inherits the legacy of an ancient civilization and travels around nonchalantly while possessing powers that rival this world's kings.
Probably the dumbest concept for an anime that I've read in a while.
I tried reading the novel before the anime coming out and it was pretty good
Grayson Evans
Are they even trying at this point
Anthony Wright
Try reading "I became a living parasyte" There's at least 30 other WNs that I've read are worse.

Yen Press recently licensed another one, about a guy who reincarnates as a Vending Machine in a fantasy world's dungeon.
Hunter Richardson
Dumb plot, but the girls are good and the MC isn't bad.
Colton Morgan
Oh please, smartphone is hardly bad now death march
Kayden Hall
Smartphone is comfy. But I find Death March more entertaining.
Lucas Bell
What about battery life? And how will a smartphone even be relevant in a world with no internet and power sockets? He might surprise a few locals with some shitty app games like flappy bird a flashlight, but then what about afterwards? To be fair I've have not read any of the LN, but it still seems silly that a smartphone would be of any use in a medieval-fantasy world.
Easton Rogers
Sounds like AOTS.
Easton Taylor
WN was fuckawful after the first hundred or so chapters. LN was fuckawful after the first handful of chapters.
Does it really surprise anyone that the anime is going to be fucking awful too?
They're both utter shit of the lowest possible quality.
>literally "it's magic I ain't got to explain shit"
Owen Cook
Those designs are really bad. Havent seen this shit a character design since valkyrie drive.
Oliver Carter
I read the first three volumes, and it's fun .

you have now read something dumber.

Does he use an iPhone? Does he use any proprietary software? Does his phone have a >5.5 inch screen, nonremovable battery, or no microsd card slot? If any if the above are true, preemptively dropped.
Ethan Campbell

>What about battery life? The smartphone is literally powered by a god, so it has unlimited battery-life and is given read-only access to the internet, as well as a hotline to that god.
Google Maps apparently works by magic now, too.
>Does he use an iPhone? >Does he use any proprietary software? >Does his phone have a >5.5 inch screen, Novel doesn't say. Up to artist interpretation.
>nonremovable battery, >or no microsd card slot? Phone is fucking magic. Don't need a battery, and memory storage is probably infinite too.
Samuel Adams
Why there's a mecha on it?
Hunter Roberts
monsters from another dimension are invading the realm in search of their king, mad genius creates them as a mean to fight the evil aliens as they suck magic

How much fanservice can I expect?
Jaxon Barnes
>this >Death March >Shield Hero So when are we getting Mushoku Tensei? It has to be soon, right? Right?
Easton Edwards
Is no one simulcasting this?
Zachary White
CR will announce it soon.
Gavin Powell
Fuck you — the girl's designs are garbage.
Ayden Bennett
Steiner that's not you right?
Anthony White
Will MC be shirtless?
Kayden Nelson
Will Isekai finally die with this? or do we have to wait till Shield Hero's adaptation to finally kill it.
Elijah Hill
Isekai restaurant can surpass tate in 2/4 weeks, knight and magic is now ranked 23 a can reach a least to top 15 School battle harem last around 7 years, wait a least 4 years more
Leo Murphy
What do you mean user? That thing is actually a bestseller for HJ(Hobby Japan).
>Knight and Magic Saw the two episodes and checked the manga after that. It's cliche as fuck and I had to drop it.
>Isekai Shokudou I dont know what to think about this one. The MC is not a betafag, but the story is boring so far.
Andrew Hernandez
10/10 will watch again
Jordan Taylor
>dissapointment of the year you kidding? it will resurrect the genre.
Kevin James
I've been reading a LOT of ISEKAIs, and a lot of Fantasy stories lately.
I'm a sucker for medieval fantasy, so I read what I have to, you know?
But goddamn, what is it with RIDICULOUS wishfulfillment in ISEKAI storylines. They're stupid as fuck- like the characters are overpowered as fuck, or are straight up Gary Stu tier characters.
One of them was "Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou!"- which within a few chapters, the MC is filthy fucking rich many times over, has all the bitches lusting over his cock, and is one of the greatest wizards of his time, AND has a magical mansion, and a title and nobility.
Holy shit, man.
There's a lot of medieval fantasy and isekai series out there, more than I imagined, but goddamn, they're so...BAD, to average at best!
And they're all like 'SEE HOW AMAZING THE MC IS", without any build up.
Aiden Howard
why are they animating all this garbage isekai when their are better isekai?
Hunter Sullivan
It turns Muv-Luv later on in the story.
Gavin Nguyen
Nah that will be Death March. Truly the beginning of the end.
Camden Cruz
>shokudou >boring
Levi King
They're popular and it sells.
Jack Long
Nirvana doesn't have enough material for an anime yet.
Jack Collins
>why are they animating all this garbage when their are better garbage?
Chase Evans
Any good ISEKAI or medieval fantasy?
Cause, damn, there's a lot of stuff out there.
John Moore
check out Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta
John Howard
Very likely despite what people are saying. Shieldbro is MF Books first anime adaption and there's a high probability that more are coming in which case I can't think of anything other than Mushoku, Hachinan or Fairy Tale Chronicles. I honestly doubt they'd choose Hachinan over MT if it came down to it.
LN saleswise for the past few vols its been like this: Hachinan>Fairy Tale Chronicles>MT>Shieldbro
Joshua Hall
>2 isekai series this season Isekai Smartphone is also this season. 1st Episode in like a day or two.
>what is it with RIDICULOUS wishfulfillment in ISEKAI storylines Most of the translations we're getting are written by amateurs on the Japan equivalent to fanficiton.net. Many are writing as a hobby to literally escape reality, while others are using it as a quick way to gain a free fanbase before publishing, with little effort.
I don't believe this is a problem with the setting/"genre" itself, but with the current point in time we're in (where self-publishing is semi-viable) and the fact that isekai kinda does lend itself to make it easier to "escape" (but abusing that is more of the writer's fault than anything)
Blake Fisher
I see.
I mean I love the idea of the ISEKAI- being brought to another world is classic fun.
But nearly every damn variant I've seen ends up stupid- the main character is either ridiculously overpowered, has cheat like abilities, has videogame analysis- videogame mechanics....
Wouldnt it be MORE interesting to have to see a story about a normal person having to struggle to survive in a magical world through guts, and cunning, and THEN little by little gain magical power?
I'd like that, man. An actual story where the MC grows slowly, and has appropriate challenges, and stories.
Re:Zero had some potential, but then the MC was a complete shitter with too much luck and the story was not challenge appropriate.
Wyatt Hall
>isekai is now a genre
Why didn't someone kill me when I asked
Bentley Harris
Fareway paladin release that witch a hero's war Eliza bookworm nigga all you gotta do is look around a bit
Jordan Bell
I've been reading only through for mangas. Maybe that's why....?
Brody Bennett
Ahh, then you can scrap everything on that list besides bookworm, if you don't like reading plain text that is
James Williams
Re:monster is terrible compared to those two.
Juan Ortiz
Depends, if the translation is shit(Like with Wortenia Senki) or the WN writing is worse than the usual accepted narou writing over there(Re:Monster, Ubau Mono) then you go with the manga. If not you go with the WN/LN most of the time since they're simply superior and don't translate well into manga.
The most optimal choice would be to just learn Japanese though.
Jose Evans
Can't say that I wouldn't like more stories to turn into muv-luv, but shouldn't the writer have tried to do more with the smartphone before going to mechs?
Luke Morgan
Fuck off steiner
Colton Powell
he already did everything he could with the smartphone, its mostly a magic tool for pics with the royalty now
John Morris
It sounds better than I expected, I might try reading a few chapters
Cooper Clark
The translation for the WN is pretty dodgy at the start. I would still recommend it if you like SoL though.
Nolan Reyes
what bothers me more is, that we got publisher that actually willing to publish this goddamn book
Mason Clark
J-Novel is basically publishing anything they can get their hands on. In the case of this novel, they claim that the Japanese publisher really wanted them to license it (probably in anticipation of the anime)
Asher Torres
What are you guys even talking about what living parasite? Is it even Japanese? Can't find in on J-novel or do you mean I leveled up from being a parasite?
Dominic Jenkins
Syosetsuka ni Narou is a literal harvesting ground for publishers and there are some that only publish narou WNs like MF Books. Nothing weird about it, there's an audience there for that hence why its doable.
Blake Harris
So,it literally "it's magic I ain't got to explain shit". Is the author even trying?
Dominic Martin
Nope. I mean, the story is pretty straightforward harem power-fantasy, and it makes no attempt to hide that.
Jason Thomas
I want to die and have God revive me where Isekai """"genre"""" doesn't exist.
Someone write a LN about this for me please, we can paradoxically work this into fruition.
