Mizuzokusei no Mahoutsukai

Not only does "The Water Magician" have amazing water effects, but it also stands out in the crowded isekai genre. As a result of the series' deft manipulation of expectations, Ryo, the protagonist, is not only overpowered but also merely desires a peaceful, uncomplicated existence. The show is brilliant because it doesn't rush.

By emphasizing character and world-building over incessant, pointless battles, the series demonstrates that you can have an overpowered protagonist and still tell a fantastic story. It is one of the most refreshing anime to be released this year because it perfectly combines moments of epic fantasy with a laid-back, slice-of-life vibe.

The animation is horrible, if you pause you'll see several errors. The fights are poorly planned and the protagonist is extremely overpowered, which undermines any sense of danger, and there's nothing to compensate for this lack of danger (like in One Punch Man, among others). The story doesn't engage; they tried something but I didn't like it, maybe because it's poorly written, or just because they shoved the story in my face, but it's weak. And all the supporting characters are annoying and have no personality except for the elf; I liked her a little. I'm still watching because I hyped this anime a lot, but it really disappointed me. (If there's nothing better to watch, go ahead, but be aware that the only good thing about this anime is episode 1).
