Botsuraku Yotei no Kizoku dakedo, Hima datta kara Mahou wo Kiwamete Mita
(One episode watched):
I am getting very tired of isekai series in which the protagonist is transported to a world in which magic exists, and, lo and behold, just happens to have fantastic potential to master it. Basically, what would you do if you were gifted tremendous power and were free to use it as you please? This is yet another of those shows. Liam makes rapid progress learning magic, taking in what would normally take a year to learn in a mere month. His meeting with a wandering magician reveals that he is capable of the 'Mystique' technique, which only one-in-a-million can employ. "Magic is the aggregation of knowledge" a tutor claims, but it seems to me that magic is more of a dodge to avoid having to deal with knowledge. For instance, Liam is given a ring which instantly enables him to use 300 new spells. Before long he is even able to create an 'illusion' (duplicate) of himself who conducts business and rakes in money for him. This is all fed to us in a simplistic, take-it-or-leave-it manner. Just the framework of a story without much fleshing out. Why not go into some detail, and make it more interesting? While Liam leaps into magic, one thing he doesn't do is wonder whether the original Liam Hamilton has switched places with him or anything like that. Basically, magic is treated as more important than the personality of the main character, probably because shows that take such an approach are virtually guaranteed to be at least a modest success. At the end of the episode all we know about Liam himself is that he came from Japan and is good at magic. So, the usual 'Since I don't really know the main character, I can't care what becomes of him' diagnosis. The OP sequence gave me the impression that this was going to be a harem anime in which Liam attracts a bevy of hot girls to himself. This show never struck me as entertaining, and while I watched an entire episode it was clear within the first few minutes that that would be all I'd do.
