The first episode is out. What’s your idea so far?
It was ok. Nor good nor bad. It could be better in my opinion

I actually enjoyed this episode a lot. It was funny, and the characters were entertaining.

Lloyd's performance reminded me a bit of Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries in the way he unapologetically and outwardly expresses his love for a certain field. His vocal mannerisms reminded me a lot of her, too.

If you're impartial to the reincarnation trope, then this is a great first episode, otherwise, it's just another reincarnation trope.

the character designs are so cute >.< the animation in general looked really nice

Gremling Lloyd expressions are very charming and entertaining. MC is hilarious and fun to follow. The animation, like the producer stated is heavily utilizing 3D and CG which is visible throughout episode. THE GIRLS ARE CUTE. The backgrounds were created in Unreal Engine and well the results are mixed. The staff has a tremendously difficult task ahead of them knowing what they adapt. Producer even jokingly said that if he had known what the manga would turn out to he would have rejected the offer (he read 1-2 volumes full of fluff as they were the only one available at the time). The show allegedly has a fixed episode director for the entire direction and in-house scriptwriter. The credits are very weird since they have people listed for 3D layout/key animation/line photograpgy, which is quite strange. Good luck in the future cuz the team would definitely need it, I'm scared lol.

Pretty okay first episode i guess. I've already seen worse this season but this doesn't give me much hope that it's going to be more than "haha look this kid is horny for magic please laugh" which isn't really that funny to begin with.

My guts are telling me it might not be an outstanding one, but it's funny enough for a weekly dose of entertainment, as far as I'm concerned. Let's see how it goes :3

Not a masterpiece for sure.
remphan 2y
that animation was way too good for another generic isekai , have high hopes for this one
- FabioR77 2y
  This is not an isekai.
  remphan 2y
  welp , it kinda isn't and kinda is
  Shirasho 2y
  Reincarnation is not isekai.
  
  With that said this series is an isekai in almost all but name. We have a stupidly OP main character who goes around breaking everything he touches. There are three primary differences though.
  
  1) This series is in the shota category. The source fetishizes Lloyd to insane degrees, but it rarely if at all enters pedo territory. Yeah, the maids love him, but it never turns into anything sexual. Unfortunately this fetishism has ruined the mood and tone of the story more than once.
  
  2) Lloyd isn't a completely dense idiot, and there is a lore reason (which is explained as a major plot point later on) for the moments where he is dense.
  
  3) Lloyd follows his heart and acts incredibly immature, but he is highly tasteful and intelligent when it matters.
  
  The latter two points make it much a much stronger series than the other generic garbage out there while the first point is a very understandable turnoff for many people. The first episode was a very good window into the rest of the series though. His character design, the way he poses, the attitude of the people around him - if you are comfortable with the first episode then you are probably going to be fine with the rest of the episodes since I foresee them cutting out some of the more extreme instances that wouldn't translate well to the anime format.

  what I meant was while it technically not an isekai , it has a generic isekai vibe to it , not that im complaining tho
Suunja 2y
More like Reincarnated as a femboy
- OmerBoz 2y
  lil bro is one inch close to be an actual woman.
TimingKarma4 2y
It is good, I saw it without expectations and I think it's good, but the body of the main character looks a little bit weird, I think so.
- Nvm 2y
  This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
  rikkaus 2y
  shut the fuck up
  Nvm 2y
  Why so mad and offensive
  wiredmatt 2y
  mate got insecure he doesn't look like this
  RandomKat 2y
  ?
Artiick 2y
Besides what's already been stated in this thread, I just have one gripe with it. And that's Loyd's overly effeminated design. I get it "cute, child, lilbro" but it definetly feels over the top imo
- werr 2y
  In the final fight did you see his hips and butt? He is supposed to be a little boy, but has the body shape and proportions of a grown woman (save the boobs). WTF
  wiredmatt 2y
  yeah it's definitely oversexualized which has me worried. i have no problem with lil bro looking a little bit androgynous but I definitely don't like the fact that he is a kid and they're doing him like this
  Jobko 2y
  Projection.

  @Jobko how
  Removed 2y
  Don't hate him cause hes beautiful wizard. Maybe you got rid of that yee ass haircut you got you some mana on your wand.
  wiredmatt 2y

wiredmatt 2y
wb kanna she doesn't have any weird fan service like this, she's just a sweet kid and behaves like one

I was going to treat it like another typical
The Aristocrats Otherworldly Adventure Serving Gods Who Go Too Far
or
Wise Mans Grandchild
but MC being completely unhinged blows a little bit of fresh air into that stale room. I hope he won't suddenly mellow out the next episode.
Plocky 2y
ecchi with a lil boy
TheT 2y
Before I watched it I wanted to toss this kid from the bridge. After watching I want to punt this kid from the bridge. Can't wait for more
Braxalus 2y
I like the premise buuut the MC's character design is barely disguised fetish bait. The difference between anime key art and LN covers is especially jarring/striking. I'll still do the standard 3 eps to give a fair shake but I'm not feeling good about this one.
Kenrin 2y
why did they make the shota as thick as Kanna in dragon maid lmao
was a fun episode though
rikkaus 2y
So fun to have fairouz ai voicing chibi grimoire
aizomi 2y
MUCH better than expected. I liked the MC being completely nuts (first scene really stood out), and the sparring scene was top notch. I also liked the demon creating another head to chant. The MC character design is sus, but w/e
Clinsen 2y
Didn't expect the mc to be so unhinged, but it's even better like that for entertainment purposes, so I'm more than fine with that. His design is somewhat sus for a 10 year old tho, but at the same time I'm already used to Japan being Japan, so whatever, doesn't matter. We'll see how it goes, caught my attention so far.
OhThatDude 11mo
what the heck is wrong with this psycho MC? Oo
he likes pain and wants to torment his demon? Oo...!
(apart from that, he is condescending and pompous)

I will give this 1-2 ore episodes, but actually want to drop
