Saikyô no Shienshoku [Wajutsushi] Dearu ore wa Sekai Saikyô Kuran o Shitagaeru

Noel is born as the grandson to the strongest seeker known. However, once he begins his training, it becomes quickly apparent that his class type will never allow him to become the most physically dominant seeker, so he goes hell bent trying to become the most powerful through other methods, by nearly any means necessary. While Noel does follow a set of morals, some of his actions and decisions can be absolutely vile leading both the wicked and the innocent to suffer. These despicable actions do appear to pull at his conscience, but this is what it takes to rise up in his world, and he'll allow no-one and nothing to stand in his way on his ascent to power.

This anime has been keeping me enthralled with its mix of battle and strategy (the strategy being reminiscent, though not quite as adept as the Moriarty series). This series is currently at the top of my list, as I look forward to how many lines Noel is willing to cross and if he can amass the power he's dreamt of to rival or surpass that of his grandfather.

Every episode takes a complete turn! I never know what's going to happen next. This is by far one of my top series and I really hope they continue into the next season. The MC is not overpowered yet just a lunatic!

I love the progression in this anime and it has so much more to show. Recently most anime's have just given the MC a bottomless pit of powers and statuses. Noel clearly has nothing overpowering and has worked hard for his talent. This kind of reminds me of Asta who is magic less and still continues to produce results.

Please give us a season two I'm tired of watching repeat isekai that are all the same...

It's a new take on the traditional "I'm the strongest" anime. With his personally, with the differences of personality, to the key characters and story, truly a breath a fresh air on traditional fantasy anime. Really recommend giving a try, especially if you are getting a bit bored with the familiar take.

Introduces a new style to the main character both protaining to good and evil, and how you think things will turn out. Instead of just poof, magically the strongest, you have a story and character that constantly builds. Does w good job of adding new elements and new characters after throughout new episodes. And after finishing defeiently left me wanting season 2. From abilities, to plot lines, too just complete insanity I highly recommend this anime.

Protagonist Noel Stollen is a 'Talker' the lowest class in a magical world but he is determined to lead the most powerful clan in his magical world... after all his grandfather, Brandon the Overdeath, had done so before his death. To this end he sets about recruiting people who can help him in that aim. His skill might not be the best but it enables him to effectively boost others' abilities. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

This is a solid enough magical action anime; the sort of thing one enjoys while watching then forgets about as there are so many other examples of the genre. The story is good and it is refreshing that our protagonist and his associates aren't perfect or even particularly nice. The character designs and animation are good. The final episode does feel more like the 'end of the beginning' so perhaps there will be more one day; if there is I'd watch it. Overall I'd not say this was a must see but it is worth checking out if you enjoy the genre.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Definitely one of my top 3 favorite anime this season. You can tell that the creators had a solid idea for the plot, and especially for the characters. The main protagonist stands out with a strong personality and a consistent focus on his goal, though his psychopathic tendencies, such as gouging out a father's eye in front of the girl or treating people as tools, definitely make him a psycho. However, as long as there aren't any delusional defenders of the main character, resembling Griffith's defenders from Berserk, everything should be fine. The transformation of characters like Leon and Koga is also worth noting, as well as the interesting personalities on the opposing side, like Barzini, who has his own unique "aura." There aren't many good anime with such a well developed world. I wait for next season 9/10.
