The scene with everyone scared of death, then applauding Noah for sparing their lives is crazy

World’s strongest toddler with the world’s most powerful cursed sword now has the world’s strongest grimoire, armor, and even added the world’s greatest singer to his team lol.

*Magic sword, magic armor, and an exorcism.* This is still a power trip, the title doesn't lie. But my curiosity is still here. *Obviously it's because of cute bard.*

God damn this is turning very boring. Ultimate Toddler just gets everything. There is no way this will ever be exciting in any form, it's just the usual Isekai Powertrip-Slop.

The pacing in this episode was not good, it felt like it was skipping so much, there wasn't much flow so I didn't really enjoy the episode.

It's nice to see that Henry and Oscar might actually be decent older brothers, but I can also see a chance of them having ulterior motives.

First Kaya-chan, now Noah, haunted books are not having the best day today.

The creator of Kizoku Tensei was grown up in Taiwan. a 1999 China TV series \[Yongzheng Dynasty\] had a profound influence on him. This TV and The historical event of the Nine Princes' Struggle for the Throne that occurred during the Qing Dynast became the inspiration for his creation of "Kizoku Tensei". You will see some of the plots are reference to \[Yongzheng Dynasty\], And some characters are base on the Nine Princes.



The map from beginning just straight up part of the Qing empire.



The emperor—— Emperor Kangxi



Our protagonist Noah Ararat (13th prince) —— Aisin-Gioro Yinxiang, the younger brother and political ally of Emperor Yongzheng. He was renowned for his loyalty, wisdom, kindness and diligence.



Albert (2nd prince & Crown Prince)\_——Aisin-Gioro Yunreng



Henry (4th prince)\_—— Aisin-Gioro YinZhen



Oscar (8th prince)\_——Aisin-Gioro Yunsi

MC is collecting items like its devil may cry.

One moment I thought, I like how much attention this anime is giving to noble politics, when he had a proxy turn away the thugs at his gate, and his brother says "good job maintaining the reputation of nobility"

Then the next moment lil bro was walking the street by himself, and another character comments on it but nothing comes of it or is ever explained, just what. It's a "when the author wants it" form of attention to detail I guess

God I started watching because of a promising first episode but what a disappointment this turned out to be. It's just 20 minutes of Noah being too strong, too smart, and too rich. Sounds like an 8th grader's power trip fantasy.

Man I got whiplash from this episode. They speed running the story. Felt like so much was missed

Why is the audio mixing so bad in this? Nothing besides the writing seems exceptionally low quality. But the dialogue is way too loud and blown out.

I only watched this for Azusa Tachibana’s part as the singer but it’s just not worth it.

Apparently I'm in the minority here, but I enjoyed this episode as well. It's a groundwork episode. Clearly he's prepping for some big battles, and I think the addition of more princes could get interesting. We've had one against, one neutral, and now one pretty firmly in Noah's camp. I think the armor and the grimoire are cool, and I feel like the bard storyline could get interesting. Perhaps she has a unique skill that he'll gain as well. Seems like the family dynamics are going to be the main focus. They can't all be 10/10, but I'm enjoying it so far.

So… that stat bonus from the Grimoire is now gone…. Honestly I feel like you should have just… never opened it/threaten it?

I can never take the shows where the mc is so small I could pick him up and punt him seriously. I just end up hating the mc and cheering for him to lose. I’ve never understood the point of having them be this young.

Only exception so far is kinda the reincarnated aristocrat show because the mc is how a kid should be in terms of power.

I get this show is rather stupid but the fat guy actively going after the little shit and trying to kill him was beyond stupid. Also people going on stage over and over is stupid as well.

This show is bad even by the standards of these shit little kid being op shows.

The pacing is really weird, it is kinda a hard watch if you're really not interested enough. I also don't know what will be the direction moving forward with getting a songstress for the emperor, it's like a disconnect or something. Maybe there will be more relevance in the future, hopefully.

This is my first drop of the season. OP characters and a good power fantasy can be very entertaining, but this ain't it.

I should've trusted my gut on the two eye colors being a red flag for bad writing.

The incredible interesting impressive six year old dominates with a magic sword, throwing around money, and having good intentions. This sure is teaching me the value of a good leader.

I knew It was going to be a power fantasy from the start. But sometimes those end up being a fun junk food anime. the amount of glazing this anime is showing the MC is on a new level, though. Truly bottom-tier trash.

I'm still here for the singer girl and out of curiosity for when the mechs from the OP show up.

I hope they release a full version of that insert song she sang near the beginning of the episode.

Spending more time than it's probably worth, I checked the op and the merchant and his adopted daughter don't seem to be anywhere so I assume they won't be major characters.

The cringe in the first episode teetered on the edge of the good kind of bad and the bad kind of bad, but in this episode it was firmly on the bad side.

However, until the Eminence in Shadow comes back I must endure this bad cringe so the good cringe feels even better.

The song in the beginning was lowkey hitting

I'm enjoying this. I know people are worried about power creep but it's like the old Star Wars quote "There's always a bigger fish." It's likely once we encounter a true antagonist it will be something with big boi levels. Although even if it doesn't go down that route I really enjoy the cozy isekai genre and would be quite happy to see it just play out charming and anticlimactic - probably an unpopular opinion though.

Man, I had some decent hopes for this anime (high hopes if I'm being honest) going off the name and the title card art. I thought, "Cool, a fun, wacky reincarnated into a young noble anime that will hit the tropes with its protag-kun who'll shake things up and have some entertaining adventures while meeting fun, fantasy waifus who fall for his kawai-ness" but man was I wrong lol/smh. What even is this anime? It takes itself wayyyy too seriously for its concept and has certain moments where it tries way too hard to be dark and edgy.

Also, what's with all the palace maids being ridiculously hot and dressing like they work at a sexy maid cafe (well, minus the one that is clearly a child so I'm glad they didn't go that far)?? I mean, I get appealing to a certain demographic but let's try to have some class/dignity - especially in a show that takes itself so seriously lol. Even 8th Prince has their bombshell maid character dress in a full-length maid outfit (sure it gets ripped in convenient ways more often than not, but they at least start out with some modesty! Lol). Speaking of 8th Prince, I thought they were gonna yank straight from it and have the silver-haired maid in this be a sword-saint as well but I'm glad they didn't go that far...at least not yet, we are still just on episode 2 lol.

This episode flew by tho and felt like I was missing story beats when it moved from one plot point to the next. Also, what's with the power system? I see everything is F for him, and he gets the pluses from followers, yeah, but how is he so OP at everything already when he should only be OP with water magic or whatever? And again, he gets bonuses from his followers, but why do they only add to the Water stat? The whole status screen/power system so far just feels a bit tacked on and not very well thought out IMO.

Also, what's the deal with singing oneechan? Like sure she's cute and has a nice voice, but so what? I'm hoping there's a payoff to her character otherwise I feel we are wasting too much time with her. Also also, how the hell does that venue not have security to keep people off the stage - especially after homegirl was attacked the first time? ...this world is ridiculous man lol/smh

I'll probably finish this cause I do love me some trash anime and just laughing at all the ridiculousness so at least I found that in this. Let's just hope it doesn't become terribly unbearable - I say that but I'm also the type of trash-lover who finished the TBATE powerpoint presentation and enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons 😅😈. I'm hoping that what I was looking for in this I think I'll find in Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord - just hope that lives up to its potential!

A truly awful episode. No explanation as to what was going on, weirdly jumping between scenes and nothing interesting happening. It leading up to the ending song was kind of clever but that is a small positive which does not remotely make up for the rest. I have barely ever commented on anime episode discussion threads but I felt compelled to talk about how terrible this was. I'm a big fan of isekai trash, I've watched over 100 collective seasons of isekai and this is the first time this has happened, this didn't even happen when I watched The Beginning After The End. Absolutely hated it.

Bro just pulls a thousand coins out of nowhere like he carries it around all the time.

This should be expected from an author that literally writes the same thing over and over. I should've went with my instincts and avoided it. I remember reading the manga and hating it, everyone praising the MC for simply the smallest thing. And he's only a kid. Welp, my first drop of the season

Being gifted the sword by his brother who was trying to troll him was one thing but just stumbling on the grimoire and ring lol. I mean ig he didn't stumble upon the ring and it's more like some rando had it and decided to gift it to royalty which I suppose isn't that farfetched.

I was horribly wrong this shit is terrible I thought after episode 1 slide show It could only get better and hopefully the story carries but nope I'm going to read the manga hopefully it's better

Did this episode sound really metallic to anyone else?

The worth of money isn't really making any sense. He's paying that singer 25 rean a month and buys the whole place for 1000 rean? The girl could buy the whole place herself for 3 years and 4 months worth of salary.

Other than that, this show is trash. Not the fun trash either, just boring old trash. Kinda disappointing. I'll give this one more episode.

This anime is prove everything has a chance to get an anime adoption.

I liked the first episode. Not this one. Pacing was very weird.

Does anyone else hear the horrific recording artifacts in the characters voices? The high end of some voice lines are insanely distorted and cutoff. At times they sound like they are speaking through a paper towel roll and it's really really bad... Anyone else?

If they committed a crime as he said, why didn't he have them arrested? Plus, the leader laid a hand on his royal persona, no less. And later, literally threatened his life. I was hoping for more decapitations like in last episode, but dude didn't even have the criminals punished this time around. I guess the dude was probably arrested after LITERALLY trying to kill him, but it should never have gotten to that point in the first place.

It WAS funny how his brother was all like "Bro, this thing you paid 3 gold for is worth 1k gold!" right in front of the poor dude who only got 3 gold for it.

What a sorry excuse for a sorcerer's soul if it only added a +F to his wind stat.

<Creates giant water spout half a block in diameter in the middle of the busy market street.> "It's OK, I aimed it upwards."

Sure it was only a +F, but still a waste.

"Bro, we know that powerful cursed items exist, and we don't know what kind of magic this ring may or may not have, but try it on!"

MC could've simply hired the singer for real and had her sing in establishments with better clientele, or even just for him in the palace, rather than buying that whole place....

This show is boring now, dropped.

The money in this anime confuse me, they mentioned in episode 1 that average male make 120 rean a year, but here we have prince dropping thousands like they are chump change, maybe it is chum change, but that lead to how much does the kingdom tax the citizen lol, to have thousands per year, compare to the 120 rean.

This episode really packed a lot into half an hour. Noah became a patron to a singer, had a reception meeting people from his fiefdom, went treasure shopping in town, bought an evil grimoire then killed it and bought a magic ring, then presumably killed the bald thug and purchased the music hall!

I was surprised they had the kindly merchant who rescued the slave girl at the palace be called Byron Alan and I really wonder if he was a shoutout to the American comedian Byron Allen. You'd think Japanese people wouldn't know English language stand up comedians and TV presenters but maybe the mangaka loved Comics Unleashed 🤣

When Noah said the bald lender was done for, I'm taking that to mean he was killed. They really shied away from showing it for some reason and left it ambiguous, unlike the last episode where the relief funds thief got his head chopped off.

When Noah asked the music hall owner to not let those types of people in anymore like the rude guys who were flirting with the singer, I'm not sure exactly how he'd enforce that, like how do you know who would cause trouble if you don't know them. Good thing Noah maybe figured that out and bought it and my guess is he's just going to hire better security to keep people from causing trouble.

Now, that's another good episode, especially that ending when they make the ED theme another song she will sing, that's quite a great idea, brilliant 😂 Well, it is, instead of making another song to fill in there.

Anyway, unlike most other people in this comment section, I like this kind of series, the one that people call boring power-trip isekai anime. As long as the plot isn't too weird or illogical or too much nonsense, then what's wrong with it being boring.

I watch and enjoy anime to escape the harsh reality of life, then what's the point of watching reality-related situations in anime, discrimination and hatred in anime? To add spices and whatnot in our life? I would rather live in my own small world and enjoy my boring life instead of having my heart and brain hurt for unnecessary things, it's not good for my health after all. And I might get affected by the negativity.

Anyway, looking forward to the next episode!

its so bad that i'll stay for one more.

The singer is the REAL national treasure?
Would the MC pull out a sword from her chest in the future?

This anime has AI background art. Its very noticeable in this episode at 13:50 and at 15:09. Special callout to 15:09 where a man has a pot for a head lol

[removed]

I've never felt a more extreme whiplash from episode 1 to 2 of a show than now. Episode 1 wasn't a masterpiece but it had enough little bits of teasing that I was willing to wait for more but this episode... Idk some stuff technically happened I guess but I could not for the life of me tell you what the MC actually *did*. For that matter I'm not even slightly clear on what the deal with the songstress is! He said he wanted to get some talented helpers so why is he just hanging out at an opera house?!

Plus he triggers a grimoire going crazy, summoing a massive spirit, and banishes the spirit over hte course of like... 30 seconds? He doesn't even keep the stat boost either since the spirit was destroyed. It literately added nothing to the story. I did get a kick out of the fact that the animators did not give a shit about this scene either as one of the guys in the background is just frozen in the same posture of stretching for the entire scene until the clouds clear and then he just disappears as a bunch of other pedestrians that weren't previously there suddenly start clapping.

I propse this anime should be re-titled "... And then everybody clapped!"

First a magic sword then a book now armer the boy has all the luck being the mc and all also what kind of idiot attacks a prince in broad daylight with a sword hasn't he heard of treason it's like he was asking to go to the gallows.

I definitely love this show. MC seems like he will be a great leader. He is surrounding himself with great people. I hope we get a time skip and can see him with a decent amount of great folks around him and him making things happen.

Does anyone know the song Alichey was singing at the beginning of episode 2?

ok this is just some slop anime I guess, meh

Shows like this make me regret my 3 episode rule but Punch Line convinced me to always give it 3 episodes.

Great show btw go watch it instead of this trash.

Anyone know the song from the girl on stage that had the classical guitar in it?

I've been watching so many new anime this season I legit thought this was the one where he was banished to oversee a village 😅 Wasn't expecting a banger chill song to come out of this anime. I like how the ending tied into the ED. Apart from that, this anime is strangely quiet. You don't really see other people unless it's a wide shot and the doofus that kept trying to "kill" the prince was such poor character writing cause literally what are you doing bro.

Who is he going to save in the next episode, lol?

1000 Rean is far too low to buy out that guy’s business. They’re acting like it’s $1 million.

That tome costed 3 Rean. No one knew it was special. Even if you say it costs $50, which is a very liberal estimate, that means that guy sold his business for less than $17,000 by our standards. That is a far cry from being worth uprooting your stable income.

It also seems that Rean is indivisible. That would mean that book was incredibly cheap. No one is buying bread for $17. That’s like saying anything and everything is $17 minimum, which doesn’t make sense. This dude sold his business for $1000 or less if Rean really is indivisible.

I love this kind of series and I'm dropping this. What a boring second episode, things happen but I have very little interest in what's happening. Also I've yet to like a character, except maybe the older brothers who I assume are going to scheme and be bad guys in the future.


I'm comparing this to Arisocrat's Otherworldly Adventure, which has a very similar set up, but at least it's actually fun. That show also has a maid character the MC is attached to, but they give her actual character, and she participates in the humor. This show, the maid does nothing, she got saved by the MC in EP 1 and then... is a maid.


Another show this season even with a similar set up Easygoing Territory Defense, also has a maid who is attached to the MC and the fans of the source love her.


This show, characters don't have any personality, the author didn't even see the need to give them any.

Pink hair's character design is just so ridiculous i cant take her seriously. Goofy bangs covering 60% of her face, being all reserved but wearing silly modern over the top idol clothes in a medieval fantasy setting. This is one of those examples where an illustration artist's skills start and end there lol. As far as the story goes I'm pleasantly surprised. At first glance it might look like low effort slop but it clearly has a goal and thought out concept behind it.
