A plane crashes in another world. Who was on the plane? Seven teenagers who just so happen to be the best X in the world, where X stands for: politician, inventor, journalist/ninja, magician, doctor, swordsman and businessman. Now they have to use their skills to bring peace to an fantasy land, as foretold by an ancient prophecy. Some might even find love. Or a family. Or might bring nuclear weaponry into the equivalent of Lord Of The Rings. Join them as they make the best out of a situation that could easily end their lives.
Oh boy, this was one hell of a ride. Now, I’m sure you’ve all heard this one before, so why should you bother, right? Well, this show with the stupidly long name does do some things right. And some things wrong. Most of the main characters are pretty one dimensional at first but do get some sort of growth. The problem is there’s a huge discrepancy. See, while all of them do come form “our” world, some of them don’t really belong there. You can group skills of the seven heroes in 3 categories:
Plausible if somewhat exagerated:
Tsukasa (the politician) and Masato (the businessman). Neither of them have any sort of super-human ability and use their wits to win their battles. Masato is by far the most entertaining of the 7 heroes, and his episodes were a delight. He gets a loli cat-girl as a sidekick after he saves her from slavery. Tsukasa is also interesting, but he’s depicted as a Gary Stu in regards to doing the right thing. He gets an elf love interest.
Highly exagerated:
Ringo (the inventor) and Shinobu (the journalist/ninja). Both are implausible, with Shinobu being almost super-natural. The reason Shinobu is in this cattegory for me is that we don’t really see her doing anything that borders on insanity in the show. She’s extremely fast and accurate, as expected of someone who was trained as a ninja. Ringo’s inventions are, for the most part, acceptable considering she has a portable nuclear reactor to work with. The nucaler reactor is a strech, but the purpose of the plate trip WAS to transport the thing, so I guess I can give it a pass.
Holy shit, these guys are straight out of a battle shounen:
Keine (the doctor) is Black Jack. She can do brain surgery with a saw. She starts off as a “normal” doctor but her feats keep getting more and more impossible as the show goes on. Aoi (the swordswoman) is Saber. She can run along side a missile and guide it. She was nuts from the start so there was really no surprise. Akatsuki (the magician) might as well have been from the fantasy world because he has actual magical powers. Illutionist my ass, this guy makes Kaito Kid looks like an amateur. He can somehow make his body invisible, leaving just a floating head. And he can fly, for some reason.
But a show is nothing without a good antagonist. And this show delivers: enter Gustav. It’s Kotomie (same voice) but this time he’s outwardly insane insted of holding it in. He steals every scene he is in because he is 101% insane and revels in it. The show’s worth watching just for this guy. He’s made of anger. At one point literally.
I had fun with this show. It’s not original, it’s not very clever and it’s not very well animated. But it’s a fun watch. If you want more isekai goodness, you could do a hell of a lot worse then this. Just… shorten the names, for the love of god.
Subs are from Erai.
PS: How are you guys enjoying my descriptions? I’ve decided to add a few questions about the show to each upload.
Question 1: What was your favorite character? Mine was Shinobu. She was so perky and cute.
Question 2: What was the most memorable moment for you? For me it was Gustav banging his head on the statue of the emperor.

I liked the episodes with Masato the most, when he starts his business and ruins the evil rich guy, lol. And of course Roux, the loli catgirl.
sedusukun

Loving all these new releases from Dmon ^^

At first my favorite was Ringo, then Rooko stole top slot through shear adorableness. However the scene with Black Jacks hot blond daughter Keine performing “adjustment surgery” on the guy trying to hook people on opium made her my favorite in the end. Her rant about God’s incompetent design was joker levels of crazy and I loved it. Also her explanation to Ringo about what to do on a date was pretty priceless too.
Good to have you back doing releases, someone else uploaded this too but there upload was 73 gigs…

Thanks!

Damn Dmon why not just spoil the entire thing? Since you gave the lowdown on the character development may as well give us their bday, blood type and all that too lol.
I think the description is good if folks don’t care about spoilers. It’s more descriptive too on what to expect for those that may have zero knowledge and may wanna give it a shot or not.
Like I wrote over at Lupin’s share of this this show’s premise was so dumb I just couldn’t get with it and had to ignore it. Thankfully as you too found out it got better later on. Them battles I thought were cool to watch. I would of liked a second season of this cuz it just got good and leaves you hanging. I wasn’t a fan of the mage everybody else was alright tho I think the Samurai girl needed more development.
@DrWolfnstine13 Where you think Dmon encoded this BD from along with the same guy who shared that 73 GB? From here https://nyaa.si/view/1248766
DrWolfnstine13
@noZA_ Not really worried about where Dmon got it so much as that his encode is a nice reasonable size. Not everyone has a bandwidth cap that can handle a whole bdmv, or a 73 gig download for one show. Dmon’s was smaller and fine quality so I was thanking Dmon for that. If I had downloaded the BDMV @ https://nyaa.si/view/1248766 then I would have given thanks to them for it.
