I am in love, Sup Forums.
That said, it's really offsetting how nothing in this show is even remotely original. All characters are carbon copies of popular characters from other series.
Yae is more than just a little inspired on Sakura Taisen's main heroine, and the twins might as well have been called Ryou and Kyou. Even have the same personalities.

No shit it's unoriginal, That's literally Reimu
>implying anyone on Sup Forums watched sakura taisem
>The unimaginative characters are what threw you off
>Not the plot
So far, the whole series is the equivalent of some guy finding the last piece to a puzzle under the sofa, and everyone praising him for it. And it happens all of the time. Fuck, the only things he actually used his smartphone for so far is using Google Maps to find an inn and to look up ice cream on Wikipedia. What's the point of a gimmick if it's never used in the first place?
he uses more as the story progresses
I have to admit, I couldn't make it through the first episode. And I've sat through some shitty anime.
It might get better later, but man, there was really *nothing* praiseworthy in the 20 minutes I saw.
God literally just sets the boring white-bread MC up for success and everything just kinda falls into place for him. Bleh.
>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
This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life.
Wrong color scheme for Reimu. Personally, I can't look at her without seeing Zakuro.
What's even dumber is that he's also granted Messianic magical abilities.
Looks pretty close to me
>All characters are carbon copies of popular characters from other series.
reminder that only reddit mal scum hates on smartphonekino
I thought it was Zakuro when I saw the screenshot.
Likewise. Not even the first time it's happened, either - I always go "Oh, hey, for once someone wants to talk abou- oh."
Well alright
...
It's my guilty pleasure of the season.
fucking streams
Let me give you a hand there.

>but yeah, you only get your smart phone
They had one premise, it is in the fucking title, and they don't use it. Seriously healing that blind chick could have been made into a treatable disease that no one in this world knows but something that is in our world and thus cures and remedies are available on his phone. But no uses magic.
To be fair the god did fuck up and cause his death and he was humble about it with very little demands so I guess that's why he felt the need to buff him up "a little". You are correct on the premise though. The only thing the phone has been used for outside of mapping purposes is finding out the recipe for ice cream which is pretty fucking stupid. The rest is just "lol I know all magic" nonsense.
>expecting anything of a show named isekai smartphone
how naive can you fucks be
umm
Nobody is expecting anything.
Even the protag in Ambition of Oda Nobuna used his phone more effectively in the first episode by playing battle sound effects to frighten two soldiers and make them think he had an army in his 'magic box'. Didn't work as the battery went dead but still a more effective use then making ice cream.
Besides there a lot of uses a phone has that would make it useful in a fantasy world. Using sound recording to record a crime or deal being made for later use, using the flash on the camera to disorientate someone, using audio capabilities like mentioned earlier to trick enemies into thinking you can summon armies etc.
Honestly thouht this was going to be a Sakura Taisen thread from the op pic
>people identifying her with three diffeent characters
I'm starting to think her design isn't actually a ripoff of anything specific, but just so bland that everyone thinks it's copying something else.
Is Sakura Taisen actually good?
Did he bang the twins?
He has had 4 women hanging off him in the space of 2 episodes, 6 if you want to include the inn woman and the ice cream woman. He hasn't so much as made a look at them. He's as beta as they come.
I smell best girl.
>nothing in this show is even remotely original
That's literally the point. It's never never about 'originality' with these shows. Even if there's something that feels 'new', that's there in order to make the 'old', what's been derived and recycled over and over again, stand out even more.
With third generation otaku (the main audience for this stuff) it's all about replacing the normative, humanistic approach to 'art', where one reproduces a struggle for utopia, with a dissociative, hyper-artifical database fantasyscape - a simulacrum - where you're not even going to feel human any more. You're a systematic consumer of everything artifical.
The repetition of hyper-artificial magical high schools in anime for example is a purposefully anti-creative act, which is why so much of it is 'garbage'. It's not made for anyone that wants art to make them feel 'better' about reality or escape to a 'better reality'. It's for escapism to a new reality altogether, one that emphasizes how virtual it is at every turn.
It's already delivered, though. Fun, cute, and comfy.
>tfw all the drills this season are irrelevant
I'd rather have no drills than being blueballed like that.
There's Muramura in Cheer Fruits.
Somehow anime Jesus returning the lady's eyesight got me a bit teary eyed. It's nice to see a bunch of wholesome characters having things go their way and helping people out.
