After being killed for no reason whatsoever, an average salary-man is reincarnated into a fantasy world. Upon his reincarnation, he meets one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Entering a familial relationship with this being, the protagonist becomes extremely overpowered. Following this, every character who knows about the MC's awesomeness does little but talk about how awesome he is. All the while, we have an insanely bland cast of side characters and really generic art, with barely any overarching plot.

Some dude from an insanely influential family enrolls in a magic high school. Turns out, this dude is the most overpowered creature in the universe. Not only is he so overpowered that he can create whole new types of magic and magic gear (did i mention that he is completely invincible), but he is also absurdly good at hand-to-hand combat. Every side character, unable to even hope of competing with the MC's awesomeness, just kinda sits there in awe of his overpoweredness. The whole show is pretty much about how cool and OP the MC is.

I'm talking about TenSura and Mahouka, right? Well, you're wrong. I'm actually talking about the anime industry's newest indistinguishable stream of visual diarrhea, pumped out for the sole purpose of turning a profit by pandering to insecure men who seek escapism in the form of anime with insanely overpowered blank slate self-inserts MCs.

Special shoutout to my favorite joke of the show: some irrelevant side character tells the MC to hold back on his magic powers. The MC completely annihilates the room they are in and then says "haha sorry I was holding back". Wow. Now this is truly the pinnacle of comedy, refined and perfected after centuries of studying such pioneering comedians as Aristophanes and Dante. How could the anime industry possibly hope to compete against such creative genius? Shows like Yojouhan and Kaguya-sama simply can't rival the intellectual titan known as Tsuyoshi Yoshioka.

Oh, and, I couldn't possibly end this review without crediting the greatest peak of creativity brought to us by the anime industry this Spring: that one episode where they told us about the main antagonist's backstory. Now, this was truly tragic. Indeed, as I sat in front of my monitor on that Wednesday, eager to watch the latest episode of Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni, I was not expecting to be hit with such tear-inducing drama. As I sat there and learned that the main bad guy used to be good, but then some bad things happened to him, causing him to turn bad, I wept.
