A Perfect Example of an Isekai Score: 85 Score without Enjoyment Included: 82 Scroll Down to Find Individual Scores 220https://i.ur.com/CWdc6Km.jpg A beginning without trucksan would be just plain wrong. Yet that is not how this story begins. See our protag Misumi Makoto is a simple man with an extraordinary control over his emotions. Yet with a promise to be kept and a Goddess to anger hes teleported to a world where beauty is found every where but with him. For he who was average looking before is now a horrendous ugly monster to the naked eye. 220https://i.ur.com/ZzaeZh6.png The Goddess and Her Standards Whose ugly duckling are you? Some Local Goddess Yeah thats right. Despite being out of his control and summoned to a world that is beyond him Makoto is rejected the Goddess of the world upon arrival. Hes deemed too ugly and a stain on the Goddess beautiful world and gets sent to the edges of world with the ability to communicate in monster languages not human. You know this is probably one of my favourite aspects of this show. 220https://i.ur.com/OhwO6qQ.png We see the protag get rejected for a ridiculous and petty reason then sent to a barren wasteland with only monster speech. Of course this would later begin Makotos immense power grind for his disdain of the Goddess and to live a peaceful life but thats for another day. The Enjoyment of OPness without a Careless MC I cant be the only one who enjoys OP MCs only to have my enjoyment ruin by their lack of intelligence or character. Makoto however really is a character written to be enjoyed by the reader or in this case the viewer. He isnt dumbeddown for the sake of missing the obvious for plot reasons. I respect that. He is able to think logically and act on it. He has raw emotions that the anime has done a pleasant job at demonstrating. 220https://i.ur.com/VQ47uC3.png A Quality Show to Watch And you know I believe the biggest thing when it comes to anime is the enjoyment. Tsukimichi has that. It is pretty simple and flat yet dynamic and wild. The anime does a great job at balancing out which ones to showcase and when. To top it off hes crazy OP yet his power is contained for his motives to live in the world despite the Goddess. Love it or hate it this is one way of creating an OP character without going overboard on showing how OP he is at every opportunity. 220https://i.ur.com/77azW44.jpg Now lets talk individual scoring Recommended to watch anime first before reading individual scores 220https://i.ur.com/aC59628.jpg Story: 83 Yeah I know I talked in depth about how great the plot was and how much I enjoyed it. However at the end of the day the anime does leave some desire for more. The score is high for its usage of unique aspects such as the beauty of the world being rejected by the Goddess for said lack of beauty and Makotos disdain for the Goddess. Are those elements all truly unique? No. But unique enough in todays seasonal anime that it deserves to be stated. Makoto never forgets about the Goddess. This is something other anime would mention in the beginning then have no relevance till its critical to have importance. Not here. Not with Makoto. Hes constantly on alert to ensure his presence is hidden from the Goddess. With his friends also casting reminders to protect himself from the eyes of the Goddess. Im really happy they never forget about this as it helps with the enjoyment of the show immensely. Characters: 69 Well at least the initial three 220https://i.ur.com/ukxih6w.jpg Not all characters are created equally. This is ever so true in Tsuki. Lets talk solely on the main three: 1. Makoto : I believe his initial character is built for comedy relief during intense moments. He stays true to his character of just trying to make himself a peaceful place to live in while looking for answers about his parents. This never changes. My issue with him as a character is lack of character depth. Before I continue it does get better and they expand on his character however solely using the first season of the anime it could have been better. He is said to have a great control of his emotions which is great if youve read the source material but this is where the scoring begins to tank. The anime fails to demonstrate his reasoning for his character and we instead get moments later on where you could connect the dots that Makoto wasnt the normal child back in Japan either. I believe their attempt at showing his rejection at the archery is where his character was meant to shine. 2. Tomoe : Here is our first real example of a good complimentary character to the MC. She is meant to be the balance for Makoto. While she has an obsession with medieval drama and the age of the samurai she isnt a flat character. This is where you can appreciate the show even more by having a strong female lead written to advance Makotos goals. While to Makoto she may be like a sister but to me she is seemingly a mother character for Makoto. While Mio can miss Makotos slight hint at anything Tomoe catches it and keeps it in mind. When Makoto is in a bind or needs cautious advice regarding the Goddess Tomeo does a great job at being the aide for him. 3. Mio : Give me hate for this but shes a terrible and flat character. I understand her purpose before meeting Makoto was to devour everything and thats okay for a devastating monster but once she gains her human form it goes downhill. I do believe she is meant to provide the romantic aspect the author seems to want to push over and over again with Makoto and his two girls but man is it annoying. Do Tomoe and Mio love Makoto? Yes. Does Mios character force Tomoe to follow her in her crazy absurd romance path for Makoto? Yes. While Tomoe was an example of how to create a complimentary character that benefits the MC Mio is the opposite. She serves a purpose for fans. I do admit I love her antics no matter how flawed it is for the character development. I recognize that she once was a spider that devours all and when she turned human that aspect of her turn towards a I must devour all the love and attention from my master that is just shallow writing to me. Visuals: 90 220https://i.ur.com/C7mdkV0.jpg So look theres plenty of anime out there that wows us as the viewers. This show was that show for me this season. I never thought it would even get an anime after being out for so long and so many other isekai anime coming out without a word about this one. So when it did I wasnt expect much especially when the studio announced was C2Chttps://anilist.co/studio/6052/C2C. However thankfully the studio has done an excellent job at animating emotion action and scenery. Im dumbfounded at how good it is for a studio I hardly hear much from and honestly not a big fan of. Theres not much too say as visuals are something you must see for yourself which you should. It wont blow you away completely but for a twelve piece seasonal anime maybe it will Audio: 90 Nothing blaring that ruptures your ears. Instead we receive great voice acting beauty background noise and dramatically boosted SFX sounds. I am not much of an audio person so take my score with a grain of salt. But I found no real faults with the sound. I do believe they did a great job at making the world feel alive and the music used for displaying emotions are eargasmic. Enjoyment: 95 Sit back relax and enjoy Makotos chaotic life What can I say that I havent already the show is a treat to your eyes ears and brain. I love just like most people strong OP characters. Makoto is that. But hes so much more. Hes actually a little psychopathe to be honest. I think most people skim his lack of a response at times as nothing important or how zoned in Makoto can be. He has to be crazy a type of crazy that I cant stop watching to see what happens next and how he will react. 220https://i.ur.com/s6fG7W1.jpg
