Saikyou no Shienshoku "Wajutsushi" de Aru Ore wa Sekai Saikyou Clan wo Shitagaeru

This fantasy is worth watching. The MC is very ambitious. Unlike some annoying goody two-shoes, he is sly and cunning, ready to use whatever means available for his advantage. He is neither black nor white. Many people can't accept it, but that's how real people are. Not perfect. With their own quirks and principles. Plot is pretty well paced. It keeps tension and shows characters' development which looks like the main goal of the first season. Character design is cool. Animations are solid. SFX, VA and music are good. I enjoyed all 12 episodes in one sitting. This anime is definitely above average.

The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan... is super cool! It’s not like other stories where the main guy just punches everyone and wins. Noel, the main guy, doesn’t get a strong job, he gets “Talker,” and everyone says it’s weak. But he doesn’t care! He’s really smart and says, “Fine, I’ll just make the best team ever and be the boss.” Noel is kind of mean sometimes, but not in a bad way—he just wants to win so bad. He’s really good at making plans, and all these really strong people start to follow him because he’s awesome. It’s so fun to seehow he tricks people and wins even when no one thinks he can. The best part is that it’s not about fighting, it’s about using your brain and being a leader. Noel makes every win feel like a big deal, and his team is so cool! If you like stories where the little guy proves everyone wrong, you’ll love this one.

First of all, I'll assume you have already seen the anime. There are no spoilers in this "review", but this is less of a review, more of an impression. Now, despite putting it in "Mixed Feelings" category, I was pleasantly surprised by this series. It is not perfect by any means, you can spot some of those typical mid tier anime flaws, but it does get a few things right. In the "evil protagonist" subgenre - where this anime belong - it is rare to see a protagnist who remains evil in the long run. Usually these stories tend to forget about the premise pretty quicklyand start redeem the protagonist as soon as possible. Not here though, or the very least not that much. Noel [the protag] remains cunning, determined, and ruthless throughout the story. Granted, he does go overboard occasionally, there are a few scenes where he takes the Yandere act unreasonably far, but it is not bad. Surprisingly even his actions have lasting consequences. Not everyone walks away unscathed, especially not the protagonist’s "victims." Sadly, the writers often struggle with crafting genuinely smart characters, resorting instead to putting them in overly simplistic scenarios. The result? A so-called genius solving issues so trivial that even a kindergarten student could manage, while the supporting cast falls over themselves in awe. It’s hard not to roll your eyes at their exaggerated worship. This is especially glaring when the story tries to showcase the protagonist’s leadership or strategic brilliance. The supporting cast is often written as a group of bumbling idiot, so much so that I sometimes wonder if they'd forget to breathe without their "captain" telling them to. You can find a few scenes like this here as well. That said, these moments are compensated by others where I genuinely thought, "Okay, that was a clever move." Overall, the poorly executed scenes are painfully bad, while the well executed moments are really good. There is no middle ground. This polarization is the main reason I slapped a "mixed feelings" on it. It truely is a mixed bag. You may never know if next scene will be something good or bad. The lack of consistent writing quality really holds it back. As for the actual story, it’s as simple as it gets: the usual rank-climbing and party-building plot you’ve seen a thousand times before. There’s nothing new or innovative in this regard (so far). I can’t see a bigger picture in the narrative either. A solid hook would’ve gone a long way in making me excited for a second season. That said, I’ll likely give the next season a shot, assuming it ever gets made. In conclusion, it’s far from a "must-watch masterpiece," but it’s refreshing to watch something like this amidst the endless tsunami of mind-numbingly dull "wholesome" shows. With a little extra polish, this series could’ve stood out from the sea of mediocrity, but as it stands, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it.
