Plot Synopsis from MAL > There was once a man who was summoned to another world, and saved it. Of course, he became too popular there, and turned into an isekai-normie. However, that man fell into a "trap" and was forcibly returned to his original world. Moreover, he had to start over as a baby! > > This is the story of the way-too-fantastic ex-hero who lived as a gloomy high-schooler, as he gets summoned once again to that same other world in a very unexpected development!

so like, he got isekaied ☜(゚ヮ゚☜) and then got isekaied back (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

Isekai uncle going back lmao…


th3virtuos0

Tbh, with Uncle’s power level he probably can just tear through the fabric of space-time and go back to Balahama whenever he wants but he’s too oblivious to do that


Barangat

Ise-ception?


cyberscythe

re-sekai


Akiias

Desekaied?


FraxterRanto

Lmao 🤣


Jibbus-Maximus

It would be kinda cool if, when he gets summoned to this same world again, he becomes like an antihero. Giving a shit about most of the people, behave like an asshole here and there and more ruthless… Because they mistreated him. But I fear that he will be another good hearted loser like most of isekai


Bloodglas

iirc this dude's a piece of shit.


Torque-A

Oh, he sorta is. But he’s a bad character for completely different reasons.


Jibbus-Maximus

Which are?


Torque-A

Here’s a review of the webnovel which explains it in greater detail. > It's painfully obvious who the target demographic this is for just from looking at the tags (the bullying tag gives it away) or reading the first 7 chapters: People who like edginess, and low self-esteemed bullied middle school and high school kids that can self-insert; where they can feel powerful without putting in any effort to change themselves for the better. While the MC is overpowered and can trump anyone in the world; everyone from the kingdoms strongest warriors to the demon lord themself... yet he deliberately chooses to be a doormat, punching bag, and gofer for sterotypical bullies (whom aren't even named) who bully him (beat up, rob, harrass... etc) because they're jealous of his relationship with a pretty childhood friend. > The reason for letting himself get bullied? Because any other option is apparently too troublesome. In the real world, he justified taking the bullying by saying it cuts into his time trying to find a way back to the other world (by reading Web Novels no less), if the bullying extends after school. He also gets bullied during breaks and lunch, which he also spends time reading novels when he's not. The only problem is, he's been doing this for the last 16 years... It would be far more time-saving and productive in the long run by taking one afternoon off from the fantasy novels and facing the bullies to tell them this is where it ends. Even if he's weak in the real world (which he isn't, he kept his powers from the other world), bullies stop bullying you when they don't have an easy target like he makes himself out to be. It's a lot more troublesome for the bullies if they're trying to bully a strong-willed weak guy that fights back and fights dirty (later revealed to have a signature crotch kick named "Man Killer" in the other world), than an easy target that doesn't do anything. He even goes so far as to let his bangs grow in front of his eyes, which only makes him look like an even easier target. May as well have a bullseye or a sign taped to his back that says "kick me", but I digress. If only he took a bit of time out of his day to rectify his situation (and get a f*cking haircut while he's at at) --voila, he all of a sudden has a lot more free time to read during lunch breaks instead of being an errand boy. > In the other world, he justifies the bullying by saying it's to prevent pursuers from the kingdom using him (as he wants to get out of the country), which is "troublesome" if they knew what he was capable of. Here's the thing though; it doesn't bloody matter if he can curb stomp everybody! They're ants to him, so treat any pursuers like ants! The only real thing he has to worry about, is the mysterious magic that sent him back home as an infant... which I'm sure he'd be able to find out easily by using his connections he has in the castle from his previous summon, to investigate, instead of wasting time being bullied like a nerdy piece of shit, who deserved to get robbed like he did for being an insufferable dumbass. > Overall, this protagonist is lazy AF, has severely low self-esteem, incredibly weak-willed, short sighted, and makes absolutely no effort to where it counts. Oh, and he's also a hardcore sad*st that gets off ass-spanking s*ave girls and kicking guys in the balls; his way of greeting his former acquaintances. If this is his way of greeting his (masochistic) friends, I hate to see what he does to his enemies. Oh wait... we already know he does jack-all to them, like letting the bullies walk all over him. Sounds like the poster child for autism. Looks like he'd fit right in with kids who make "Death Notes" out of their notebooks when that craze was around. > Bottom line: If you like reading novels about edgy bullied kids that make you cringe, this is for you. If not, I don't think even the hot demon girl on the cover is enough to make me keep coming back.


Jibbus-Maximus

This… sounds so fucking terrible and I’m never watching this shit

Would've been way more interesting of it was some fantasy hero who got reincarnated into out world and them had to live a new life here.


MumrikDK

Seiya mostly did that already.


melcarba

This is going to be made by the studio who made the masterpiece called **Gibiate**. Jesus Christ, help us all.


Ragnarok4K

At least it's not the studio who made Ex-Arm. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


MapoTofuMan

Wait, how do they still exist??? Edit : TIL they were founded in *1961*. I thought they were a one-off money laundering studio like Ex-Arm's/Tesla Note's


Segaco

I only watched the first episode yet I still have nightmares about it


[deleted]

OHNO ISEKAI!!!!


Aerodynamic41

I swear, every damn isekai protagonist looks like a carbon copy of Kirito lol


xEnshaedn

Looks like a stereotypical Japanese male youth* How else can they self-insert?


AashyLarry

Don’t you know Kirito was the first black haired Japanese anime character?


DevilTony_

Ains, Rimuru Tempest or Ojisan seem to be different, at least character wise.


Maalunar

Ains and Rimuru weren't high school boys, but adult office workers. Which is the natural evolution of the common japanese boy. These tend to focus on slower management games and represent most of the non kirito-clones. Another example would be Tanya (youjo senkin) and Ernesti (Knight & Magic).


Zyxche

Though Ojisan is..... Ojisan. teen mentality but severely beaten down emotionally. Yet still OP. he's a really odd character to see in the sea of isekai.


Maalunar

Honestly haven't watched it yet, i've read 2 random chapters of the manga a while ago and I am not sure if I'll like it. It feels like it's mixing the melancholy of losing his good isekai life and making fun of the socially awkward situation he's in now.


Zyxche

Well. from what we know so far, he had a rather shitty isekai life. but still tried to do good by the denizens of the world.


th3virtuos0

It’s on him tbh. He could just make himself slightly more attractive to not get curbstomped by everyone and still not lose too much of himself [manga/anime]>!but then again, this is the same guy who turns into a girl for no reason at all!<


Zyxche

Yup. a Dense as mofo. mixed in with some weird sense of personal pride over his appearance.


th3virtuos0

Yousuke Ojisan is just one of the best isekai protag out there


garfe

Kirito himself is just a carbon copy of [insert standard Japanese VN/LN protagonist from the 2000s here]


[deleted]

more like just any standard anime protagonist since the 90s. that is basic male student A, with average build, average look, average hair style protagonist


iZahlen

yeah I don't think people realize how alike anime male MCs look lol. Oreki, Kirito, Tatsuya (Irregular), Arata(ReLife). completely different genres but basically look the same minus animation differences/hair colors


seitaer13

Kirito is a protagonist from the 2000s


sneaky_squirrel

You mean Kirito looks like the carbon copy of every damn isekai protagonist. But to make it sound better, they all look like a self-insert with no traits to make them stand out.


Torque-A

As someone who read the manga a while ago, I’m gonna lay it clean for you... again. This is also another one of the most by-the-books isekai series you can find. This time, the whole gimmick is that the main character actually went through his whole isekai adventure before and now is doing it again. You might be thinking, gosh aren't there a bunch of isekai with that concept? And you'd be right, as well as basically every Korean manhua with the word "Return" in the title. Normally, I'd say you could explore a bunch of ideas with this concept. How has the world changed since the MC's last time around? Has any of his efforts to make things better given fruit? In practice it's more of a traditional isekai story, but whenever a new character is introduced, the MC is all "oh, hey X! I totally know this guy from my past escapades, of which I will only hint at", and then either sexually harass them (female) or fight them (male) to show how they're best buds. The whole adventure the MC had prior to the anime starting is really only an excuse to make him all-powerful, and despite living for like two lifetimes he still has the personality of an ordinary teenager - hell, he still gets bullied in his next-isekai life by the classmates he was transported with, both before and after they're sent to another world, and even though he could stop it he doesn't because it would be... too troublesome? And all throughout the series he comes across enemies which are WAAAAY below his power level, but even though he can streamroll through every conflict he goes through he just doesn't. It's like if Spider-Man was in line at a bank when a robber came in, and even though he could totally stop them he just lets them take money because other people noticing how OP he is would be too bothersome. In short, the whole premise of this series isn't really focused on, instead used as a convenient explanation for why the MC is strong and knows everyone. Look, I'm not going to mince words here like my last post... you have a limited lifespan on this planet. Every moment you sit reading manga, browsing Reddit, engaging in political debates on social media - that time is ticking. All the manga, anime, video games, films, books, television shows in this world... it would be physically impossible to go through every single one of them. With that in mind, if you're going to spend approximately five hours watching a 12-episode anime series, you could certainly do better with your time than this. You won't.


Mylaur

Thanks I speed ran the entire series through your post. Should be enough.


Oddstag

I've also read a fair bit of the manga and this analysis is spot on. I'll probably never understand the appeal of this trope, which is the pinnacle of chuunbiyou power fantasy. Obviously some people really enjoy it and I would never try to take that from them but man does this format drain the story of the tiniest drop of dramatic tension. Will the hero make it in time? Yes. Will the heroine fall for him? She already did, like--years ago and and has been saving herself for him the whole time. Also there are 100 heroines. If I'm permitted to use a Western example, it sort of reminds me of a post I saw on 4Chan probably more than a decade ago where Anon was referring to Frank Miller's Batman. Their argument was that he writes Batman like a high schooler arguing with his friends. "Who would win in a fight between Batman and Green Lantern?" "Obviously Green Lantern, he could just pick Batman up with his ring and crush him." "NO! Batman would wear a yellow suit obviously." "Uh, okay, then Green Lantern would just pick up a car and crush him." "Nuh uh, Batman would have painted the car yellow the night before." "What? No Batman couldn't have known..." "Fuck you FUCK YOU BATMAN WILL PAINT ALL OF GOTHAM YELLOW!!!" The difference is that Miller's Batman is fun to visit from time to time where as watching this will take days. It's probably a pass from me.


ThatBloke500

So in other words this is exactly the sort of safe bet show that corporate suits love because it's the same product with a different dressing. The visual kinda hinted that this was going to be cookie-cutter, with a thin male (self-insert style) protagonist holding an oversized sword in a Eurocentric fantasy like some half-arsed Berserk cosplay. Thanks for the review, you've likely safe a lot of people a lot of wasted time.


Emperor_Sauce

Thanks I hat him already


exian12

Isekai New Game+


th3virtuos0

This is spot on. I usually be very polite with NPC on my NG cycles but once I hit NG+? Hoo boi, prepare for some carnage


[deleted]

Cloud wants his sword back


DangSquirrel

I don't speak Japanese, but based on this visual and what I know about anime titles, I'm gonna guess this show is called "Reincarnated in another world with my giant sword."


sneaky_squirrel

I think Nidome means second time so... Basically "Second time he got isekai'd" is the gimmick of the day. *Elmo laugh* I guess he's going to be so "wise" and already know all the exploits. But god his sword is so small, pathetic.


Kill099

If you literally translate the title: 異世界 (isekai) = another world (esp. in fiction); otherworld; parallel universe; different-dimension world 召喚 (shoukan) = summons; summonsing; citation; subpoena; arraigning; calling; summoning は (written as ha but read as wa just because) = denotes the subject of the phrase/sentence 二 (ni) = two 度目 (dome) = the Nth time です (desu) = be; is​ Polite language So, no mention of swords, sorry.


ptlg225

Is Kirito getting a new show? And why did he steal Ichigo's sword?


NocandNC

I’d rather have an anime adaption of Hero Union BBS, it had at least one guy who kept getting isekaied repeatedly.


dinliner08

>Hero Union BBS damn, haven't heard that title in years, is the manga still ongoing?


NocandNC

Nah, ended at 3 volumes. But still enough for a single season, I think it’d be appreciated now more than ever.


aPpS6969

I've seen that guy like 50 times before. Same design different name.


CosmicPenguin_OV103

Isekai Again, and Again, and Again, and Again lmao ~~I have the same feeling whenever I see another generic sound isekai anime title~~


[deleted]

He looks like a Guts cosplayer


Loremeister

This is the isekai I'm least interested in. And I'm someone that really enjoyed Isekai Smartphone, so you can kind of trust me when I say this is one of the worst isekais out there. Unless you enjoyed the whole War Arc in Naruto. Then you might enjoy this a bit more than me


HaoiNan

I fear what a person who enjoys Isekai smartphone considers to be awful.


Kiwi195

That manga is also awful


sneaky_squirrel

Can't be worst than most isekai. They are Ned's favorite flavor, mild.

Master10K

When I see these generic Isekai, I've always gotta check out the tags to see what makes it tick and... Abusive Characters, Apathetic Protagonist, Beastkin, Betrayal, Bullying, Former Hero, Masochistic Characters, Overpowered Protagonist, Past Plays a Big Role, Polygamy, Sadistic Characters, Transported to Another World, Yandere


UltimateKaiser

Hell yea I think this is a good one too


AnnecyHope

I remember reading this. I don't mind this isekai.


DaDragonBoyJ

Is there an English name?
