Our Take

This premiere kicks off with a classic reincarnation setup you come to expect from prototypical isekai stories like this, but it quickly carves its own path through a mix of lighthearted moments and emotional undertones. Arthur’s journey begins in a surprisingly endearing way, with a focus on personal growth, family bonds, and learning the world from the ground up. It’s less about flashy fights and more about self-discovery and the early foundations of something greater.

Visually, the episode has its ups and downs. While the animation may not be the strongest, the storytelling does enough to keep things engaging. The humor hits at just the right times, and the tone balances between cute and introspective. There’s a noticeable emphasis on warmth, curiosity, and the small milestones that shape the main character’s development.

Overall, despite some controversey this show has been getting, it still has a promising start that blends classic isekai tropes with heartfelt storytelling and a touch of humor. Though not without its flaws, it lays a solid foundation with emotional hooks and character dynamics that hint at deeper themes ahead. Whether you’re here for magic, character growth, or simply curious to see where the story goes, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on.
