Čódžin kókóseitači wa isekai demo jojú de ikinuku jó desu!

This review contains SPOILERS, which is why no one should read it (that is if they want to take a serious look at this anime series)... It is hard enough to watch one supposedly "ordinary" main protagonist in an isekai turn into an exaggerated version of themselves and defeat everything even if seemingly impossible thanks to incredible coincidence (often a deus ex machina plot device). They also usually have extraordinary abilities that they acquired somewhere, somehow (and usually not in a very believable way). However, in this anime series, you are going to find there are seven such main protagonists. Sure, these are not ordinary people, this is the "elite" - but still, more than half of the situations leave me feeling I just cannot "buy it" as I have to watch how a power station, rockets, handguns, or a working cellular phone network can be made in a few minutes just from some random stuff... After all, I can barely handle all that logic behind the scientific advancements in the Dr. Stone anime series, and they serves it up to me piece by piece with an emphasis on how complicated the process is. But in this show, everything all just suddenly happens by itself. Are they gonna kidnap your girl? In a few minutes, you are gonna have some hardcore shields (which nothing can penetrate) and weapons ready for the whole village! Where did they come from? Come on, you really do not need to think about that! There is even a character who can fly! Sure, he is a magician and uses tricks - even though it does not look like a trick really. There is a girl who can run alongside a moving rocket that has just been launched and do weird shenanigans like that. In other words, compared to all this, Princess Leia's journey through space from Star Wars: The Last Jedi actually seems like a quite normal, natural, and logical thing... If the main protagonists were "excused" for having supernatural abilities like, say, superheroes have, then I guess I would not have a problem with it (just like if the origin of it was traditional and all-powerful magic like in many anime series), however, these are supposed to be just geniuses in certain fields, in other words, people who just simply excel at something, even though that still has its limits (because of "people"). I just did not find that anything really made any sense in this show, because I could not get rid of my own logical thinking and the main protagonists’ plot armor with the "every good politician wears a bulletproof vest and carries a handgun for self-defense" trope left me with my eyes just rolling and a facepalm... Sure, it has its positive aspects, it is like watching someone play Civilization and just jump from the medieval era to the present day just easily dealing with the different cultures, military, science, politics (and massacring their overdue opponents)... It is also quite interesting to watch the battle between technology and magic, even if the results of this battle do not make much sense in most cases... Once again, I think it might not be so bad if it did not take itself so seriously, but alas... Add to that the fact that I am not really interested in any of the seven protagonists, and even the fan service could not keep me interested in this anime series anymore, then the logical consequence (after tonight's rocket episode) is to just give up on it and go play a game about the evolution of society in, say, the aforementioned computer game... Drop after the eighth episode and 3.4/10. (2019.11.21) (kevesebbet) (több)
