It’s textbook… too textbook.
It’s textbook… only worse.
At the very least it is a case of being behind the times, I’d say. With the influx of isekai anime over the last few years, just checking all of the boxes isn’t enough anymore. If anything, the number of boxes that need checking has increased, but unfortunately Isekai Cheat Magician didn’t get the updated list.
Still, it’s an anime, and it does check some boxes.
Last episode featured a seemingly pointless duel between Cassim and Taichi. It ended with us learning that the rebellion had begun, despite a battle having already been fought.
Last episode the rebels attacked and then were defeated. They also tried assassinating Taichi and Rin but failed at that too.
I’m getting the feeling that the rebels aren’t going to win…
Last episode, Hajime ended up letting Sensei and the students with her accompany him on his expedition into the mountains to search for a missing party of adventurers, including a Duke’s son.
What will they find waiting for them?
Last episode Taichi and Rin were dragged into helping the kingdom stave off a rebellion led by the king’s brother that was looming. They were both hesitant to partake in a war that would end in people dying, but neither had the backbone to refuse.
Which brings us to the beginning of the rebellion.
Last episode, a large group of assorted monsters attacked the city. Despite what appeared to be thousands of them being killed, their attack continues!
Also, a pair of twins who were enemies and created an army of orcs with the intent of destorying the town randomly switched sides and joined Taichi after their orb broke.
Finally, Rin gave up fighting and was just about to be crushed by an ogre, when Taichi jumped in at the last second to save the day.
Last episode, Rin and Myura learned about a planned attack on the town that would consist of thousands of monsters. Taichi and the former assassin uncovered an underground cavern that is related to the coming attack.
And so, the attack begins…
