Seirei gensóki - Season 1

Well, let us be honest, after that chaotic messed-up ending, I cannot see how there is going to be a second season... What I liked about this show was the idea of reincarnation in the form of souls merging with someone else, it was just a shame that they did not actually explore that much and that the different parts did not end up in conflict at some point, as that would have definitely been quite interesting. The rest is a kind of mediocre isekai anime series with a main male protagonist who works his way up from being a downtrodden loser to being number one top dog, and who, in the manner of Mad Max, makes a frantic journey back and forth, the significance of which is actually more or less secondary, and basically the main male protagonist and the plot could do without it in the end. I mean, it is nice for him to find out who he really is, even though, so what? In addition, all the clichés and tropes spoiled my enjoyment of the show. Why can't the main protagonist be just an orphan and nobody, was it necesary for him in any way to be someone else? Also why must be the protector of every isekai MC a hot girl? I am getting bored woth this clichés.  Also, the fight scenes are so strange, as due to magic Haruto/Rio  does not have to deal with gravity. The way he moved in fights sometimes seemed quite peculiar and the final confrontation was so wooden and lifeless - in other words, it just was not that impressive. Oh, and I have already talked about the weird ending - well, even though the whole thing seemed kind of stupid to me, I could understand the rescue of the bride. Anyway, the anime’s creators decided to cram a new plot twist into two minutes at the end without any real explanation why, happening in some weird way just to have an ending, which was just really terrible... A reader of the original manga told me on a forum that this was the point where the narrative really started to get interesting. However, I am not too excited about any follow-up or finding out more regarding this particular adaptation. 4.2/10. (2023.08.04)
