Anime 52969 Jitsu Wa Ore Saikyou Deshita Reviews Filter Check 1

This show is actually a slice of life in disguise. Just with some fantasy and isekai aspect.

TLDR here's the recommendation: If you like slice of life with full on brain dead comedy anime, this is for you. If you come for an action pack with adventuring and drama, this isn't for you

Its just another standard generic isekai.
But for some reason, this one just have some family flair to it that is very enjoyable.
There's no real harm nor action in this anime, and mostly just about the mc with his adoptive family in the countryside, with some occasion for the mc to show off his power.

There's ... also several classic and modern anime reference, and also many parody to animes style and genre. Most of the comedy do hit if you know the reference, and is just a fun and relaxing show to watch.

In term of quality, I would say it's definitely average isekai quality. With mid pictures, OST, and characters and story. Nothing to add much really.

In conclusion, its a fun isekai, which is actually a slice of life comedy in disguise. The quality is average for the isekai genre, but the comedy and characters interaction is somewhat fun to a degree and just a good show to past time on with no headaches.

"An Isekai with the same reincarnation themes...that's damn boring. Oh, I know! Let's change it up to an OP MC who, for all intents and purposes, wants to be a NEET and spread the Otaku love so that he does not need to get involved with all of the usual kingdom political bootlicking and BS? That'll be good."

If you ask me, we've gotten used to the same old, tried-and-true Isekai reincarnation shitshows that have come out every season that try to sell their "differing" narratives for years now. But to bet on what is "actually" good (though "good" is calling it a bit of a ... stretch here), it's no longer the premise nor its setting, but how it's executed, and for one certain author by the name of Sai Sumimori, the work-turned-anime that is Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? a.k.a Am I Actually the Strongest?, has some peculiarities that make it stand out, though in my opinion, in a good way.

A NEET in his real life to then only be reincarnated in another world where he wants to continue lavishing his NEET lifestyle — this is the crux objective for Haruto Zenfis. As a baby, once abandoned by the family he came from, he was adopted by a lowly family simply because he didn't fit the usual kingdom requirement of competent magical abilities. That, and how his magic was measured, meant that due to some faulty assessment, he was deemed a failure, but in retrospect, he's the same OP-ness of an MC, and of course, how would people know unless he unleashed this exact power? So then, the lowly Zenfis family accepted him into their household, where, as Haruto grows up, he just wants a life of relaxation and navigates all troubles to ensure he maintains his NEET lifestyle. And in this case, it kind of feels refreshing that the typical OP MC is not summoned and tasked to defeating some Demon Lord or King by gathering a dream team of a harem party and growing stronger; we don't need crap like that.

I've got to say that Haruto is an unhinged character. Aside from his usual typical OP stuff that he has magic powers to prove, all he wants to do is lie on the bed, read manga, and laze in the house day in and day out. Whoever the characters that come popping into his life, from the young female Fenrir of Flay, who, because of her tendency to go ham, Haruto essentially has to treat her like a dog; to his own adopted lil' sister of Charlotte, who, despite her young age, is quite the intelligent and curious child that finds her adopted older brother being somewhat of an oddity. Even worse, because of Haruto's tendency for the NEET life, he introduces her to the otherworldly magic called the internet, and soon, she becomes the anime otaku chuunibyou to gather like-minded people and perform acts that only anime can do. Char's love for Haruto may be there, but her dedication to anime is just so over-the-top that in regard to Haruto clearing out the usual "big bad" trash, he has to brandish himself as the mysterious Dark Knight hero from time to time, which, if you know that design, good on you. The way that Haruto "obtains" his harem group may look like one, but it's a helper team that involves Char, Flay, and yet another blue dragon who has a NEET life like Haruto, for which he gave her the name Liza. And that's what I like about the characters here: they may be so much like the typical people who adore Haruto (and I'm not gonna lie, they do), but they are saved out of necessity because of the common inklings towards him, which, take it or leave it, is a recipe for madness...in a rather comical way.

This is Staple Entertainment's 2nd full-fledged series, and it doesn't look all that different from the newbie studio's debut work of last Summer's Kinsou no Vermeil a.k.a Vermeil in Gold in regard to animation quality. It's just decent and nothing noteworthy, despite the fact that the anime is actually following the manga adaptation of the LN to almost a 1-to-1 degree. Same with the OST; it's just there, but nothing worth remembering outside of the show.

In the average Joe's eyes, Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? a.k.a Am I Actually the Strongest? is a show that does nothing different than the usual generic Isekai reincarnation fantasy shitshow that the AniManga industry has been tainted with for years now. But I oblige to argue, because this is a show that's not meant to be taken seriously (hence the "comedy is subjective" argument) and watching Haruto's exploits for the Otaku NEET lifestyle and how hard he tries to avoid stepping out of the house gives me the chuckles for a show that has no right to be this good.

Yeah, it's an average, typical Isekai, but a fun comedy gag-infused reference to pass the time. 

At it's core Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita is yet another isekai with overpowered protagonist that hides his power for whatever reason. Overused setting can be a bad thing if it repeats cliches or is generally just a reskin of same old thing. But in my opinion this anime doesn't fall under those, so judging it purely on the fact that it's isekai or has OP MC would be unfair.

Overall, Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita is on lighter side. There is no drama, conflicts get resolved very quickly. Art, from colors to characters designs, to their facial emotions, all seem aimed towards making this a ... comfy and cute type of show. On top of that I found comedy to be pretty decent and refreshing, with some nice parodies. Characters fit nicely too, with all of them being likeable and quirky but not exactly typical archetypes.
On the other hand villains are rather disappointing, being just boring evil guys. Story itself is pretty much nonexistent as far as anime goes - which I don't consider a downside, but I guess some might say it's "boring".

As a relaxing, comedy focused anime I absolutely recommend this one. It's just a great time filler that doesn't pretend to be anything more.

This story is great, it has its own unique story that still follows the basic isekai that most of us enjoy and love. There really isn’t an isekai I’m not a fan of, just to imagine yourself getting reincarnated into a world with a different start to life. Where oneself can be “overpowered”, to good things, and create a life happy of living compared to their previous. It gives a lot of hope and inspiration imo. This is anime for me is up with the best of them, and will continue to get better as more seasons release. Don’t bother reading these horrible critics that ... didn’t even give the show a chance. For example, reviewing an anime watching 1/10 episodes. There comments should be removed.

Animation: great
Voice acting: good
Plot: thorough

Not sure why this is getting such middling reviews, so here's my take on why this anime deserves a chance. This an easy-going comedy first and foremost. Yes there are a lot of typical isekai'd OP character tropes/clichés, and yes I would put this in the "guilty pleasure" category, but even so it does enough to differentiate it and get past being complete trash like other run-of-the-mill isekai's being released every season (Saikyou Onmyouji Isekai or Kuro no Shoukanshi for ex.). It's a non-serious, feel good type of anime that I definitely wouldn't mind an extra season of (gives me similar vibes to TsukiMichi but ... more comedy, less action/harem focused).

The MC/Haruto isn't your typical protag-kun, he's got some pre-reincarnation baggage (but it's glossed over like a lot of things) and therefore he's stuck in his slacker shut-in ways (he even says it's a goal to keep slacking off for his second life), but despite that he finds himself with a loving family that changes his core outlook by the end. He's not trying to save a kingdom or the world, just trying to do good by his adopted family and those close to him, thereby actually progressing as a character due to his interaction with the main cast.
The true protag Charlotte wins best imouto of the year, I love every scene she's in, truly a precious gem to be protected for all eternity.. and MC feels the same way, using his OP-ness to shield her from any possible threat as well as simply doing his best to comply with her whims, both for entertainment and to fit her image of him as a secret hero of justice. So despite his apathy towards putting effort into anything, he'd ultimately do what's necessary to protect his new family (he'd probably whine a bit at first/afterward tho lol). He even gets genuinely mad enough to slaughter the people going after them, this guy takes no prisoners! (aside from one person he probably would've taken out if it weren't for the circumstances). The rest of the cast each add their own uniqueness when interacting with MC or adding comedy along with Char. Its funny how he struggles to keep Flay on a leash and how lax/understanding the dad Gold is, pretty much accepting of everything while remaining a good dude/role model. I also enjoy how there's no real ecchi harem stuff going on, no unnecessary romantics, and almost everything is played for laughs.

The power system/magic of the world even has some thought put into it, like how the ancient magic MC uses is non-elemental magic and therefore sits completely outside the range of any modern elemental magic reasoning, also somewhat explaining why mana levels have dropped with the mainstream adoption of elemental magics. It also gives sufficient leeway to MC's OP abilities and how it's practically impossible for anyone else to deal with. But they're also willing to gloss over things for the sake of comedy, like how the F does he have an active internet connection?.. well for the sake of turning Charlotte into a little otaku of course, taking her comedy to another level with all the chuuni naming and posing lol.

As for the story/plot, there really isn't much here for that. It's just MC going through his newfound life meeting people/demons/monsters and experiencing situations that cause him to take some kind of action, ultimately adding to his character growth. So its pretty reactional as things go, but that's okay in my book since its a light-hearted comedy for the most part.

Overall I gave it an 8, purely because I enjoyed it that much (7/8 of those points go to most adorable imouto Charlotte BTW). The MC starts out as selfish lazy bum but due to the caring environment he finds himself in, even he notices himself changing for the better by the end (clone pun?). It's like he actually gained some insight and is now happily moving forward in his new life.. isn't that the whole point of a second chance isekai? This isn't a really serious anime anyway, things don't have to be so black and white. I got good vibes from this anime and that's all that matters, I hope others find some enjoyment from it too.
Sorry for the non-organized rambling of a review! it's my first time ;)

It's a great isekai. The MC is overpowered but doesn't show his powers. It's very similar to eminence in the shadow in aspects. Only this guy has a little sister that knows about him and is uhm... a bit too attached to him.

The world and its' systems is clearly worse tho. It's quite simple, including the backstory

The characters are funny and the stakes don't feel that high, although that will probably change in season 2

The MC is pretty good I think. He doesn't feel too generic.

Also something I value a lot: they didn't rush through the material. It felt like they went through it on ... a normal pace.

The things that happen to the MC are also great. It doesn't feel boring like nothing's happening after a while like most isekai.

It's a good isekai. Wouldn't put it between Mushoku and Eminence, but I enjoyed it a lot

7/10

One might not think of much from yet another Overpowered MC Isekai, yet it is endearing in its own way and gets enough of the fundamentals correct as to be more enjoyable than most. I'd even go so far as to call it underrated.


Animation / Art / General Visuals - 6/10
-----------------------------------------------

One has to be honest here, the show isn't impressive. The art style has a bit of a sloppy feel to it, which to be fair, is kinda endearing, but ultimately does scream low budget. The animations are similarly of low quality. The strongest point for the show are the character expressions, which get ... to benefit from the lack of animations, as a still image of an expression conveys the emotions just fine. The MC's frustrated faces and the cutesy women are the high points.


Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 7/10
------------------------------------------

Pretty standard anime stuff. Nothing noteworthy or particularly problematic.


Story - 7/10
-------------

The story does not innovate or surprise in any way, but it is kinda fun and cute.

Our MC that gets isekaid and given overwhelming powers, is a complete shut-in, so all he wants to do is absolutely nothing. So that is what the story revolves around. Around his attempts of shedding all obligations and doing jack-all, all day, every day.

But nothing ever goes as planned. In his way is a dedicated follower, an overachiever of a little sister, high status, and loving parents. And his overwhelming power has made it all too easy to warp the world around him in ways that inevitably lead to him getting involved in more and more annoying things.

It's honestly kinda fun to watch him struggle to sleep all day, as things keep happening that require his attention.

The story spends most of its time in fantasy slice-of-life mode, though there is a decent amount of combat as well.

The season concludes reasonably well, though it's clear that it is but an introduction to the full storyline.


Characters - 7/10
---------------------

The characters are surprisingly fun. The MC is an absolute shut-in loser, but one that is just a right mix of kind-hearted, yet sufficiently merciless and vindictive to make use of the overwhelming powers he has been given. He is also surprisingly determined and goal oriented as far as chasing his dream of doing nothing is concerned.

He is a bit of a dunce and socially inept, but a healthy dose of luck makes sure he always comes out on top.

Secondary characters feature a subservient demon impressed by his powers. Strong, but a total Pon. Lacking any real ability other that combat skills. A little sister who is both a genius and a super clingy child who is star struck by her older brother's amazing powers. Loving parents, a rival, and a few evil villains also make themselves known, but are quite sidelined.

Total - 7/10

Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? is an enjoyable little show for Overpowered MC Isekai fans. It doesn't really break any new ground or stand out particularly much in any way. But it nails just enough of the fundamentals to bring enjoyment.

I get we've got too comfortable with the same plots and everything, but this was a good watch for me atleast, I enjoyed every episode, no boring talking too much.

All the characters are nice and that's what I like ab the anime.

Also the mc is just the way he should be idk what ppl here are yapping about💀.

Yes.. he is overpowered from the start but that's the whole point of his story, so no point making the anime look bad for that reason, there was nothing wrong with this anime.

Art style was enough good.
If you enjoy "bubble" shows this will be an enjoyable watch for ... you.

As far as Isekai go this is one of the better ones for me. Since there are so many Isekai out there, consider my grade mostly a comparison to other Isekai.

It's power fantasy Isekai where the main character is strong from day 1, where the main character starts off as a baby instead of being plopped into a new body that's already grown, that takes itself at least a little seriously and has some good character interactions, and doesn't have RPG mechanics.

Frankly I'm just happy to have another Isekai that doesn't have RPG mechanics in the world building. I always tend to like those ... more.

As far as Isekai goes, I think this is good, but not great. If you're into this kind of thing it'll be a fun watch, but if you're already tired of it then you'll probably just think it's more of the same - which it sort of is.

They're not doing anything super original or groundbreaking here, but the execution is fine for what it is, so I will rate it a 7.

This anime has been one the best generic Isekai anime recently the comedy aspect was very enjoyable.

Male protagonist is kinda annoying due to his shut in life style but if there characters growth to get over his previous life trauma then which had some character growth which was good the

Supporting cast
Sister was most endearing funny part about the anime and how she becomes a Otaku.
His servants are all distinct which contributes to the comedy
School friends have some character growth which make the anime enjoyable

I hope for little more character development in his classes and not to be to against school.
...
In terms of romance there a bit but it's subplot. Where supporting cast has crush on him such the princess,maybe the servants, and his step sister maybe the reincarnated demon lord .

Overall this generic anime is a fun watch and you'll be wanting more.
