~~ A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ ~~
Overall Rating: 4/10

----- Reason for watching? -----
Heard of the premise, was morbidly curious

----- Reason for finishing? -----
Was amazed by the ridiculous premise, was morbidly curious to see how long it kept the bit going

----- Story: 2/10 -----
... I can safely say that having only just finished the show I've already forgotten most of the major details. In fact I don't think there is a single plot point that interested me or made sense, which in itself is kinda impressive

----- Art: 5/10 -----
Absolutely nothing to say here, it's art arted, and there was certainly animation. Not really bad in any way, but I wouldn't say it was good either

----- Sound: 5/10 -----
There was not a single memorable moment of sound design or OST, which in itself is disappointing. I'd rather it be awful so I can laugh about it

----- Character: 8/10 -----
In all honesty, I loved a few of the characters enough to keep me going through the whole thing. The MC was hilarious in his cardboardness, and the main girl was honestly very likeable. There was some side characters that were fun and others that made me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty soup spoon, so good job on that I suppose

----- Enjoyment: 10/10 -----
I was in physical pain and astonishment from the start of episode 1 till the end of episode 12. Fever dream of a show and I kinda loved it, not because I enjoyed the experience but because I knew I'd made it to the end somehow and could move on with my life and be a better person. Still would 100% watch a season 2 though

----- Rewatchability: Never/ maybe once for shits and giggles -----
You'd have to pay me to sit through this again, and even then I'd have to seriously think about it. Or you know, re-watch it future me to see if I'm being too harsh. I dare you.

----- Afterthoughts -----
I realise it is a parody of Isekei, the thing is it was too good at being a parody. There were many times I couldn't tell if something would happen intentionally to mock the genre or if it was just hilariously terrible unintentionally. Extremely well done if it was the former

----- Disclaimer -----
A HellBent Half Arsed Review™ is for my own benefit, since I have a hard time remembering shows or why I liked them and I wanna document the journey through this massive anime watch list. To anyone other than future myself who stumbles across this somehow: I don't recommend you listen to me, I'm a dumbass

Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga, a title that unfolds like a lyrical dance of isekai absurdity and overpowered spectacle. Allow me, dear reader, to share my musings on this peculiar gastronomic experience through realms unknown:

Picture this, a protagonist who eclipses the might of One Punch Man, transcending the need for physical contact or even a mere gaze. With a mere thought, our main character can render anything in their path asunder. The intent? A comedic isekai romp that whisks you away on an unpredictable journey.

Yet, amidst the laughter, there's an attempt to forge character ... development and unveil the intricacies of skills within this fantastical world. Alas, the MC's penchant for swift annihilation raises the query: What's the point of such endeavors?

Shall I continue with this culinary exploration into the unpredictable, or is this a mere fleeting dalliance with shallowness? Only time will tell.

Sokushi Cheat takes a more extreme approach to the "overpowered protagonist" concept; the protagonist Yogiri Takatou not only never loses, but he also rarely showcases internal conflicts or opinionated goals to work towards. Author Tsuyoshi Fujitaka mentioned in an interview that this is exactly what he wanted to play with — a protagonist who never struggles until the very end. Fujitaka's concept naturally alienates many, for by design there is little to get attached to in the story's journey, and there's essentially no tension. However, this idea has potential to carry out a more lax attitude regardless of the intensity of scenarios. The nature of ... nothing in existence being able to threaten Yogiri enables him to engage with the fantasy world in a detached and reactive fashion. The most cataclystic of world events become moments that simply happen; Yogiri is there but effectively doesn't interact with it save for when he or his group would be threatened. The absurdities of Yogiri's capacities offer a license to examine a world filled with chaos and metaphysical absurdity without placing emphasis on the scope and extremity of such things. It establishes an avenue by which any fantastical concept can be framed as unimportant. In this way, I find the work conceptually intriguing.

Like many other Narou works, a lot of Sokushi Cheat's interactions are centered around self-awareness of its genre. Characters will make fun of the oddies of the setting and the absurd trajectories that arise from Yogiri's powers. There's an occasional amusing joke every once in a while, but rarely does the work standout in its self-awareness. One edge Sokushi Cheat has in its making jokes about its own concepts is that because there's no limit to the scope of power the other characters can have (by virtue of no level of power mattering against Yogiri), the work is able to take certain concepts to a more peculiar conceptualization and make fun of them. An example is a character whose base power is "cooking", but this power can be stretched to have unreasonably versatile applications from the holder's framing of everything in the lens of cooking. Elements like this are compounded left and right into the series, leading to a chaotic mess that couldn't really fly in a setting where the interaction of characters would have to be more stable, but Sokushi Cheat's world is able to as unstable as it wants by virtue of the protagonist's foundation. Any unstable element will eventually be nullified by Yogiri's intervention, opening the door to interactions of components far more absurd than in more conventional works.

Many Fujitaka works (e.g. Sokushi Cheat, My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World, and Harumi’s Legacy as the Strongest Mimic) have a particular absurd identity to their character interactions, as it's quite common for them to engage in conceptual discussions that feel too peculiar for regular characters to be conversing about. The conversations can sometimes feel too absurd to be organic which can be a turn-off, but at the same time, there's a particular charm to these overly conceptual conversations by virtue of how aberrant they are compared to conventional discourse. The anime adaptation for Sokushi Cheat unfortunately loses much of this, as the adaptation goes at a brisk pace and rushes towards the larger plot events. There are still remnants of these moments, such as the scene in episode 1 where the main heroine Tomochika Dannoura probes Yogiri on what his stance would be if Tomochika were to hypothetically betray him, but these are still far more tame compared to the more absurd conversations that were omitted. Consequently, the anime's conversations don't stand out as much as they could have, which is fairly unfortunate since with a lack of tension, character interactions and jokes are some of the main ways the show would be able to draw interest.

Some of Sokushi Cheat's more interesting moments involve characters trying to gain insight on the nature of Yogiri's powers. The clash with vampire sage Lain offered a fair bit of info on how different conditions interact with Yogiri, many of them failing and some at least offering an indirect way to survive. Such moments provide another avenue of interest, because while viewers may be aware of how futile dealing with Yogiri can be, characters in-universe will cling to possibilities. This enables an amusing information game that, while it's destined to fail, the way characters approach the herculean task of overcoming Yogiri's powers can be interesting to see. Unfortunately, the last third of the anime chose to rush its way to the more eventful moments, which led to the omission of one of the most compelling instances of such moments. It's with decisions like this that I feel the adaptation fails to fully captatilize on how the work retains interest in a tension-like environment. The rushing to eventful moments has less weight when these eventful moments have such anti-climatic moments to begin with, by virtue of Yogiri's invincibility.

Tomochika has some amusing straightman moments, but a lot of her banter doesn't add anything new. She does have one standout moment when she describes how she conceptualizes Yogiri's powers in relation to her morals, and Yogiri's reaction to this is one of the most standout aspects of her dynamic. Save for that however, her more notable conversations and self-reflections that existed in the source material did not make it into the adaptation. As such, she doesn't have a whole lot going for her apart from her standard straightman jokes.

While I do bring up a few ways in which the adaptation lacks some of the source material's best merits, that isn't to say that the core source material fully capitalizes on its concept. Although I admire Fujitaka's ultimate vision and some arcs have amusingly satisfying and chaotic payoffs, some of the shortcomings of the anime stem simply from certain arcs themselves having a trajectory or conclusion that doesn't offer much. The series has shown its capability of creating amusing constructions with the concept, such as conflicts that have been resolved before they have even begun yet the unknowing characters still take events seriously, or events piling onto each other in a way that feels incomprehensible by virtue of the main characters being outsiders to the unfolding scenario. However, for each of these more interesting trajectories, there's conclusions where characters simply come across Yogiri and die. Many occurances lack the thoughtfulness to be satisfying.

As someone who is willing to engage with tensionless fantasy works, Sokushi Cheat is a work whose concept I respect, and I commend the author's commitment to the lack of a protagonist struggle throughout. Nonetheless there are plenty of shortcomings both with the core work and the work's adaptation. I do hope that more authors experiment with the degree of lack of struggle that Sokushi Cheat does, as if capitalized with more creative trajectories, this sort of idea could be fascinating in challenging the standard storytelling constructions writers use to appeal to an audience.

When watching any show - or interacting with any piece of media for that matter - there are two main ways to view it, from a critical standpoint: as a solitary work that stands on its own, or as a single piece within the larger context of its genre and the era when it was made. Often a review will only look at a given work from the former perspective, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, a reviewer can sometimes omit something crucial by ignoring the latter.

Make no mistake - as an anime series, standing on its own merits, "Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, ... Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga." is a terrible work. It's dumb, pretty trashy, and barely seems to have any kind of coherent plot. It's garbage.

However, when viewed in the context of the Isekai genre that it belongs to, and the absolute deluge of Isekai works that we (the audience, weebs) have been subjected to over the past decade or so, something else becomes obvious - this is an excellent, and very pointed, spoof of the entire genre.

Sokushi Cheat (I'm not going to paste the entire title more than once, sorry) comes off as trashy because the genre itself is trashy. It struggles to maintain a coherent plot because frankly, the plot's purpose is to bring in as many Isekai tropes as possible and thumb its nose at all of them. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's a clever spoof, or even a loving parody - that would be an insult to much more sophisticated shows. No, it comes off as the work of someone who is utterly sick and tired of the genre and all of its features, and has decided to unceremoniously eviscerate and dispose of as many of them as possible.

The vast majority of the show's characters, events, themes, and even plot twists, are all well-treaded in the genre (to the point of being stale, in my view) and should be instantly recognizable to anyone who has watched or read a decent number of Isekai works. That, too, is the point. It deconstructs the genre, but not in the analytical way that one would expect of the term - Sokushi Cheat doesn't so much dissect Isekai tropes with a scalpel as just take a sledgehammer to them, and then burn the corpse for good measure.

The result is a darkly humorous romp through a typically nonsensical Isekai world, with plot points and characters introduced purely to hold a magnifying glass up to the least-flattering blemishes of the genre, which in turn is just to give you a better view of the author popping those same blemishes like zits.

If you consider yourself a seasoned Isekai veteran and would maybe like to see a vicious spoof of this otherwise stale genre, I highly recommend watching (or reading) "Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga." Everyone else, you might want to find something else that's more worth your time.

Trashy isekai with the most busted MC to ever exist.
It fully leans into the most played out tropes and archetypes.

The best thing about this show for me was that you really never know what kind of randomness awaits.
Nothing makes sense, it's incohesive and chaotic. No matter how much anime you've watched you'll have a hard time guessing what kind of ridiculous thing is going to happen next. The story is all over the place but that's not much of an issue as the main draw to this show is the kind of 4th wall breaking comedy.

Animation quality is what you'd expect from a trashy ... isekai. Watchable but very close to hentai level.

Give it a watch if you have some time to kill.

An amusing enough isekai with an OP protag that doesn't take itself seriously, and tries to have some semblance of plot and progression. Loses itself in way too many plotlines near the end though, and ends up being pretty forgettable. A good way to waste time, but nothing you'll get invested in.

Not much but also not 0 fanservice. 3dfx is not super common but is noticable if you dislike that sort of thing. Characters don't really progress much so don't go hoping for that. It isn't a deep show, just generic romping.

MAL wants me to say more but really that's all this show needs and ... deserves.

Imagine the most busted isekai MC, and multiply that by 10. That sums up Yogiri Takatou, a high school boy who has the ability to instantly kill anyone by telling them to die. He and his classmates get summoned to another world by a sage who gives them all different types of powers and abilities. Sound familiar?

Is the show good? yes and no, it's not that good of a plot, it's just a generic isekai. However the fact it plays into itself makes it good. This show is a trash isekai and it knows it. Pretty much every character is OP, they aren't afraid to ... kill off a lot of characters, and of course, there's a fair bit of unnecessary fanservice. The humor itself is hit or miss, like most anime, and the gag with Takatou insta-killing the bad guy after they threaten to kill him or his party get a bit stale after a while.

the characters themselves are also meh. The only two you might end up liking are the main 2, but everyone else is either one note and boring, or extremely unlikable, which I'm assuming is done purposely. The art and animation is about what you'd expect from a trash isekai, although this one actually draws their dragons, so that's a plus.

All in all, if you want to watch some braindead trash isekai fun, then this show is right up your ally. If you hate the isekai genre and want something a bit more sophisticated, you should probably avoid this show.

This kind of anime, when you see it, is enjoyable for some episodes at first, but after losing the audience,

Story: Its storytelling is quite unique and tells us about an overpowered protagonist in a different style. I love to watch how they have organised the story and directed it. but after some episodes, it loses the appetite and seems like it is repeated as usual.

Art is not so good or bad either.
Sound: well enough
Character: Most of the characters have less background and do not fit the role properly; we needed to work on that side to make them properly logical to feel that role.

Personal enjoyment: ... I have enjoyed it much; it was worth watching, as I typically like this kind of anime.

The seiyuu casts are great but for the story itself I cannot say so. Because of the death instant ability, many characters are introduced along with their skill, level, etc. as on-screen text while the characters are talking so it's a bit confusing to follow the talking subtitle and the on-screen text translation. But then no longer after the characters are introduced they died, so there is no use to read all the on-screen text.

The animation is okay, character designs are just like any other isekai anime with cute strong girls. There are also some fanservice especially among Yogiri and Tomochika.

Overall this anime ... is watchable when you don't expect anything from it and just enjoy where it brings you to.

This is what i call a parody of an isekai that isn funny. I get what they are trying to do but isnt working clearly i like a good dumpster fire but this is just straight up trash.
In no way is this a turnoff brain fun it just boring from the very first episode.
The whole class got isekai,d fine ok the first few minutes were good dumpter material but after that it just felt they were trying to hard.
The main protagonist girl annous me the most with her troupe , at least even if its trash put little effort to make it a funny worthwhile ... watch.
I wasted my time and i would recommend you watch the first episode only decent thing about the show

The character design is well drawn enough for me, even for the side character and that's all of it, there's almost no plot and kinda no point to understanding it since they rarely give any, it's more like a comedy isekai series with OP MC. If u are the kind of person who just wanna watch anime that has decent art & doesn't wanna think much, then this series probably fulfills your requirements for it, but if You want a plot then IMO there's none in this series. just to kill time and quickly forget about the anime soon enough.

The series itself had a potential ... setup to add lots of character development and plot but they didn't do it sadly.

I'll be very brief with this one.

This show feels like a bottom-tier fanfic, but I think it can fall into the "so bad that it's good" category. For me, it's somewhere between that and just bad. There is random stuff happening at every corner and half of time I was thinking "Are you seriously doing something this dumb?".

I don't think i've ever seen a show where characters' actions and dialogue felt as unrealistic as here. A lot of the times I thought even AI would do a better job with the script. I think it's supposed to be a comedy with how absurd everything is ... (although the characters are trying to be serious most of the time), but I didn't find it funny 95% of the time.

Nevertheless, it still has some entertainment value. If you like the "so bad that it's good" stuff or trashy Isekai, this show might be for you.

Look i know this series was poorly adapted or that's what i saw people saying but i couldn't care less about that, seeing the overall story it seems like a boring generic isekai with an overpowered MC where they use a bunch of magic systems and concepts without much care and i think the director knew that a 100% and just decided to create the most caothic mess that i've seen since demon king academy , the animation is not greeat but the fact shit is happening non stop compensates greatly , most of the time i had no idea where the heck the story ... was going it has a mix of things that make absolute 0 sense on this kind of story and is hilarious

The main characters are very charming too considering they apparently don't have that much of a close relationship in the original source material and the adjustments they did to the design of the main character so he didn't look like your average japanese guy is great, i always appreciate those small efforts even if the anime is trashy

There's some 3D used and tho is not great by any means it doesn't look as atrocious as other shows it kinda fits actually, overall i don't think i would watch this again but it was a great anime to just turn off your brain and laugh at how absurd everything is, is so bad is good

The entire anime can be renamed to "That time SCP-4260 in shape of a young boy got Isekaied to a Fantasy World, so he tried going back to its original world he was meant to kill". The MC's backstory is interesting enough to watch the anime. Other than MC and FMC, rest of the cast doesn't really matter and they themselves know in a meta way. The only major gripe I found was the BGM selection which did an absolute shit job at complementing the situation of the scenes. Other than that, the anime should not be enjoyed for its story (which is a clusterfuck), ... but rather as a what-if scenario, just like GATE which too had a shit story but it did satisfy the thought of what if you went to a medieval battlefield with modern weaponry.

Recommended for those who enjoy chaotic, messy, over-the-top parodies with an undefeatable OP MC. If you're into a good logical storyline, and have a specific sense of humor, not a messed up humor, then this isn't for you.

Story: The story is great for a parody. It has a typical simple, exaggerated, sarcastic, chaotic, illogical, nonsense, ridiculous, parodical story that has a lot of comedic elements, some of which might confuse the hell out of you about whether it's a satirical take on isekai or a part of whatever the plot is. You're thrown characters every here and there and most of them, let's just say, ... don't reappear later. Watch this show purely for fun and entertainment, don't use too much of your brain, this wasn't made for a critical storyline or character development anyway.
7/10

Characters: Well there are many unnecessary characters, but they all are introduced either for comedy or to give us a new aspect of Yogiri's power. Also don't get attached to any character, you probably won't anyway, but still don't, cause you might not see them for long. There was a little character development but not that noticeable.
5/10

Art and animation: Not great but not bad either.
6/10

Soundtrack: Decent soundtrack. Nothing noticeable.
6/10

The isekai is too chaotic lol, on one hand they got a typical american city with skyscrapers and cars, but on the other hand they got those average medieval cities like in the typical isekai anime. The character's power concept of instant death ability is ngl very cool, but the world is just very chaotic theres even an episode where you have a magician fighting a mecha from another world, and in the final episode theres a giant ass robots that comes then they go back. But i think thats the point? Because the character does realize those points, so i feel like they are ... intended. The fan service is maybe a bit much for me. Also when i saw some comments on the episodes they say that the anime skips over some stuff, idk if thats true but i do feel that they rushed the anime, but because i dont read the LN i dont know if that is true.

Overall this anime is fine, you may or not like it as a matter of fact i almost dropped this on the 3rd episode. The chaotic isekai is a cool concept but it does have many drawbacks, one of the drawbacks is they cant have enough time to explain them at all. Even the dark god which is supposed to be the demon lord in typical isekai dont have that many backstories. They only focused on Yogiri and what is near him. My final score is 6.5/10
(This is my first review and my native language is not english so please forgive me if there anything that doesnt makes sense or grammar mistakes etc)

This is an anime where the main character is practically unbeatable, never feeling pressured. The protagonist's power is so overwhelming that there's no need for concern.

The anime's plot is quite flat, lacking notable elements to capture attention. Viewers might only be curious about why Yogiri is so powerful and his origin. Dannoura's reactions elevate the series; without them, the brief battles might induce sleep.

The visuals and animation are mediocre, nothing exceptional, though occasional black smoke on the frame's edge can be distracting. If the black smoke is used to censor gore scenes, I can understand.

The opening song is enjoyable, fitting the isekai theme well. The ... visual depiction in the opening effectively showcases Yogiri's strength, adding a positive point in my opinion.
