Being falsely accused of anything and everything of noble status, Rio is labelled as a fugutive to the point of literally being forced to escape from the Bertram kingdom, which continues smearing his name left and right. To make things more complicated, the kidnapping of princesses gets him unequivocally involved (which he saved), which lands him in the walls of royalty for a commoner such as Rio to attend school, only to get ridiculed by the usual hierarchy social status of commoner and arrogant nobles, children or adult, they're all the same. An orphan living in the slums of the new world, and wanting to find revenge on the person whom killed his mother at a young age. See, for the main character Rio, he isn't just some generic Isekai character, but one that's of reincarnation and fused with the original person's (Haruto Amakawa) memories. So, in the beginning, characters do get brutally Isekai-ed in a wayward bus onto an incoming train, but the thing is that the characters in the bus are not one-trick ponies who are just Isekai-ed into the fantasy world. I would like to give a shoutout to Typecero, because this guy is a devout fan of Seirei Gensouki, and most of the analyses done was in no small part his work, and this review is made possible because of his episodic breakdowns which made the big picture clearer between the anime adaptation and its changes when compared to the source material. If you can get past all the blatant similarities of how Seirei Gensouki is just another work of literate copy-and-paste Isekai tropes, then this is where the proof of the redemption story of novelist Yuri Kitayama's writing capabilities lies at: it's not just your typical, generic Isekai story plot, but something that will have you going back and forth of reading between the lines of what was presented and piecing those plots together in the span of different timelines.
Which begs the Gary Stu of a character of questioning why wouldn't he be rescuing those in danger, but like the others before it, there's a very specific reason behind all of this ordeal. Most of the baddie villains are similarly one-toned evil with boisterously filled egos that are meant for the MC to trump justice with good against evil, but most of the time he does nothing against it. Rio no doubt has a harem of girls kissing up his ass, but just hold that thought for later on. Let's get the similarities out of the way for most of the anime-onlies being simpletons for comparison: Haruto Amakawa a.k.a Rio (in the fantasy world) is pretty much a less-refined version of Kirito, from the behaviour (which looks more lax than said character) to even the costume which looks eerily similar the the Black Swordsman coat. Of SAO, but there is a major key difference that sets it apart. Seirei Gensouki on the other hand, touts to be just that and more: a carbon copy Giving us the great likeness of Re:Zero to the horrendous worsts like Isekai Smartphone, there exists an Isekai for everyone, but not all of them are masterpieces of their own right. What comes to your mind when you hear of the word "Isekai"? As a genre made famous from the tropes it originated from, the popularity that literally started its rise and downfall with SAO, and the momentum of shows like it has never stopped. *Spoilers be warned, this review will have some context that's relevant to the overall story* I would say the show is good, it sort of hints at a second season or something but then it could be a really great set-up for the manga since it switched to that before saying thank you. I do wish the MC had a bit more of a struggle to gain power or showed you gaining it more than straight to the elders for a party. One minute they are important and then suddenly don't matter at all for a few episodes but then the story does move quite quickly. The OP and ED are both fun, the general sound is good with voices but the combat is a bit hollow.Ĭharacters are wide and that means not so developed. Overall, it is very consistent and nicely animated in fight scenes. I must say the show is very typical throughout and rushes a few bits like the school arc but it isn't that bad necessarily. The show itself is a typical Isekai style show but has more connection to the previous world especially as evident in the final episode. I do find it funny when he asked if he could run faster then it zoomed out like he was jogging lightly. One day a show won't skip the fight or make the MC move faster than fast, they will show it to you and that shall be a statement.
