Isekai Chîto Majutsushi

A "newer" entry to the Isekai field, "Cheat Mage" lacks anything to distinguish it it beyond an intro from "Myth & Roid".

The characters are flat, dialog is terrible (even the Sub's), the "story" is unoriginal, combat is uninspired, the evil "mastermind" is anything but and tropes are shoehorned in everywhere.

Even the anime's name is a bad choice when referring to protagonist, there is no "cheating" or clever use of his powers.

I'd suggest rewatching one of the "greats" over slogging through all 12 episodes.

Pro's:

• English dubbing.
• Average score.

Con's:

• Inconstant animation.
• Cheesy dialog.
• Lackluster story.
• No drama / struggle.
• Boring.

It's a 12 episode series with a lot to work with, but it utilizes none of it... This anime could easily be a 50+ episode anime, but takes extreme shortcuts with fight scenes that could be so much better. It has so much potential and ruins it by speeding up the process of the whole story while still leaving some suspense at the end of episodes. It could be amazing, but they made it decent and way too short for what they were working with.

I watched all of it, it's boring as crap. It feels a bit forced, like when you have to do a project that isn't in any way inspiring to do. The animation is as trash as dialogues. Incredibly simplistic and also some of the details in the series are skipped, like the progress in the first episodes or even major fight scenes when it doesn't show how they fight, yet they are all tired.

All of this looks like they just want to do a visual novel kind of game, where all you get is the dialogue and a bit of gifs, lmao. Uber generic story and very uninteresting characters, after like 3 episodes there isn't any character development. I have no idea why they didn't put all the $ into a movie like animation which is around 1 or 1:30hr long, instead push 12 episodes of boredom that even the dub voice actors don't believe in xD. Very unauthentic and isn't even finished with this (first) season. Better go watch Hataage! I watched that anime before this one and that one will blow you away.

I read all bad reviews but honestly the show is good. Good character build and remember they don't know what is going on. They come into it not knowing they are powerful. So stop bashing it for slow start. It gives a great progression and story that tells the story it tells. So my judgment is yall to judgemental

The first dubbed episode just dropped and from the beginning I'm not expecting much at all. The characters are generic and point out the most obvious things, at times it feels the script is ripped straight from a manga. The most noticeable flaws are that the animation has dull color and the voice actors sound like they are reading from a script without passion. In summery the series is a dull isekai and fails in comparison to most others.
