Mellow escapism — First Impressions

Jitsu Wa Ore, Saikyou Deshita is your isekai comfort food of the season.

The main cast

Our hero is the dude on the couch, playing what looks remarkably like a Switch despite having reincarnated in your typical medievaloid fantasy world. The blonde girl in the mahou shoujou costume is his sister, who he accidentally taught about the wonders of anime. The red haired wolf maid is a monster girl who tried to eat him at first when he was abandoned in a forest by his real parents. He wants nothing more than to recreate the NEET lifestyle he had before he died and was reincarnated; his little sister wants him to be a hero of justice like in her shows. But all that is for later. In this episode all we saw was him getting reincarnated as a baby and what happened when it turned out he only had a magical potential of …2.

In true isekai anime fashion he is of course actually so overpowered that the usual magic measuring methods cannot handle it and of course he is also incredibly creative with how he handles his magic, making him the strongest in the world. Luckily his new family just want him for who he is, not how strong he is.

I read the manga version of this and the anime is a huge upgrade, art wise. This will very much be a chill, low stakes series, with little to none of the more unsavoury aspects of isekai series: no slavery, no harem, not that much fan service in general. Comfort food.
