Reviews for My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1

Have you heard about the Isekai in which the guy reincarnates into a Vending Machine? More of that in a minute. Are you kidding me with this garbage... Talk about destroying your premise within the first two episodes... Basic idea is that the MC is supposed to be stuck at level 1, which implies that he will be insanely weak... Which is true for all of like 5 minutes, as the MC discovers that while he is stuck at level 1, he is the only one in the world to have infinite stats allowing him to quickly brute force literally everything; making him stronger than even theapparent 'God of Strength' within minutes.

If that wasn't enough to absolutely DESTROY the premise, he then quickly finds a GUN... That's right, this is a classic medieval fantasy and he acquires a gun and proceeds to just shoot everything...

This anime is worse than the Vending Machine anime. THIS ANIME IS WORSE THAN THE VENDING MACHINE ANIME...

Blah blah blah, Harem happens, barely any interesting development, garbage to the left, garbage to the right.

This anime is an absolute train wreck. Its the typical, omg im super weak but I have this OP skill that makes me a literal God after an episode. The waifu's are all one dimensional and it seems like 90% of the creativity went to making their designs.(which are honestly the only good thing about this anime.) It has a MC who struggles to rub his two brain cells together, but can use basic deductive reasoning to solve easy problems. The MC has the intelligence of a small child and can come up with genius plans such as: Take an enemy he was one-shotting before, and makea fool proof plan to double the work required to kill it while reducing the reward received. Truly genius level IQ. He has no personality or redeeming qualities, yet every girl he comes across basically throw themselves at him. I am confident the creator has talked to exactly 1 woman in his life, his mom, and is basing all of the women around her.

If you turn off your brain and just admire the train wreck, you might get some semblance of enjoyment out of making fun of this anime. I would put watching this anime on par with watching The Room. Its bad, but its so bad that you cant help but laugh at it and want to watch how bad it can truly get.

10/10, would laugh at it again.

Level 1 Isekai Rubbish. If you thought there was enough light novel isekai garbage about reincarnated death-by-overworking office employees already airing this season then sorry, Japan doesn’t give a fuck about your tastes. Eat your My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1 slop you disgusting weeb pigs!!! What's that? Another Dragon Quest-like medieval European-ish fantasy world with levelling systems and skills? Check✔️ Hang on, are you telling me the protagonist is level 1, but he has a cheat skill that the story has to bend over backwards to explain why his skill makes him the strongest tosser in the room wherever he goes,rendering the whole levelling system completely pointless and completely sucking out all the tension out of any battle scenes? Now that’s what I call a novel concept!

I can’t wait to watch another light novel isekai with a cast of colourful characters such as Emily Brown, Erza Monsoon, Merchant, Chief and everybody's favourite character, Angry Adventurer!

Look, you and I know you’ve seen this kind of isekai trash before. It’s a bland male power fantasy with a gun, a quirky gimmick and a thread-bare story held together by the same factory standard “light novel isekai cash-in” animation. I’m sorry that I am once again using the “It feels like it was made by an AI” criticism, but honestly, seriously, if an industry insider messaged me and told me isekai light novel authors used Chat GPT to write their stories for them I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest.

The one thing I enjoy about this show with no irony is Eve the rabbit girl. It brings me joy to see her constantly insult the main protagonist to his face and threaten to murder him if he doesn’t bring her enough carrots every day. This is the only enjoyable thing this anime has to offer and is the only reason why I’m not scoring it 1/10. Apart from that the rest of the show is so unforgettable I forgot the main protagonist moves in with a ten-year-old girl ten minutes into the first episode.

I’m going to start referring to these kinds of isekai as ‘shovelware’ as there is no difference between the shovelware games polluting Steam Greenlight, the Nintendo Switch/Play Station E-shop and these cash-in anime polluting the seasonal anime line-up. Well, I suppose there is one, sad difference. Shovelware games are usually "created" by grifters reselling pre-store assets as finished products, whereas shovelware anime are made by a team of talented artists and animators who are probably just trying to make ends meet.

2/10 Bad.

After three days diligently hiding from my roommate that I was watching this crap, I bring a review. I’m Strong Even though I’m Level 1 (don’t remember the actual title) is the archetypical bad isekai. Every quality you’d expect is on display here. Terrible art and animation, one dimensional characters, a complete lack of meaningful conflict. Everything, all executed in such a bland, uncreative way I’m almost impressed with it. It‘s lighter on insane moments than similar works, but still has a few bangers. Like when the MC breaks a strike by knocking out all of the workers with magic bullets (the adventurers guild would otherwise havehad them killed). Or how the MC heals people by shooting them with “healing bullets”. Which yes, is funny every time it happens.

The central plot conceit is that the MC (called Yoda by one character which is funny so I’m using it) has maxed out drop rates, and is isekaied to a world where every resource drops from dungeons. That sounds like it would significantly alter how the world functions, but it's treated as an afterthought. The entirety of the worldbuilding is: anything left alone outside turns into a monster, so garbage has to be burned, and different towns control different resources. That’s it.

The fights illustrate the show’s general approach to writing. Once we move past basic dungeon fodder, the heroes face a big goofy-looking ass gorilla, which they beat by hitting real hard. Yoda gets a sweet revolver out of it, making him slightly more like Hajime Arifureta. Next they fight a bicorn that blocks Yoda’s attacks with a magical barrier, they remove the barrier by hitting it real hard, then kill the bicorn by hitting it real hard. They fight a goblin who grows larger by absorbing attacks, and beat it by hitting it real hard.

The fights are almost all resolved by hitting the enemy harder, and this kind of brute force, low-effort writing defines the show’s atmosphere. It’s not meant to be taken seriously, and is written such that it’s almost impossible to. The show even directly asks you not to think too hard about it (after a character somehow bakes a cake using a campfire). I could take this as insulting, but I’m happy to oblige.

This casual, stupid atmosphere renders the show surprisingly watchable. It seems everyone involved in the production knew what they were making and weren’t taking it too seriously (this is especially evident in the improvised eyecatches). The terrible art direction, off-model characters, and embarrassing animation take on a less offensive character in light of that.

Normally I wouldn't sit through an entire show this bad, but this held me. I wouldn’t recommend it to most, though. You should watch this if, and only if, you’re titrating your bad isekai dose in preparation to binge Arifureta. Or if you’re an insane isekai junkie like me, but these are the trenches my friend.

It's an okay 'side-anime' that you can watch for funs on the side and wind down. MC and Supporting characters are basic 1-dimensional with no real character development or progression. MC has the IQ of a young teen maybe, although teens these days would be way more efficient in the grind to becoming OP. He's OP but doesn't really apply anything well? It's essentially a very watered-down 'Arifureta' straight up. Super watered-down, diluted beyond comprehension, to the point where each episode can be summarized in a 4-5 panel slideshow (very generous number here). Can be enjoyable if you don't really want to focus or thinkat all.

If you want real plot or conflicts, look elsewhere

An Isekai where a dungeon drops things like weapons and groceries that's exclusive, how neat, but being OP while being stuck at Level 1, it's not. For time millennia, on and off, Isekai stories have all been the same copy-pasted blurb that doesn't distinguish one from the rest, and there's really no point on the discussion that every new Isekai from progressing anime seasons will ever be any better, at the very least to stand out. It's the same affair with novelist Nazuna Miki, whom in his run has created at least a new work every other year since 2013, creating mediocre works that are moreof less bootleg copies of already available material that did it better or just as worse. What's even more surprising that Miki Nazuna is born Taiwanese but is an active AniManga (LN and manga) writer in Japan who claims, quote, "wants to be the fastest in the industry". Yeah right, as if writing copy-paste, cheaply imitated ideas already done before will get you so far in your job as a low form of imitation.

I really don't want to highlight all the typical Isekai mediocrity nonsense if it has been done one and the same, so let's just focus on what makes this show really stand out: its dungeon system. For the MC, Ryota Sato, dies from overwork and gets reincarnated into a dungeon where seemingly, he was monster loot from the typical low-level slime, and gets an explanation from the girl that killed it of the uniqueness of the monster loot, ranging it from weapons to everyday groceries like fruits and vegetables. However, where this "Telulu" dungeon that they were at now, there is this "Nihonium" dungeon that for some inexplicable reason, doesn't drop items from monster killings for the typical fantasy folk who goes into the dungeon looking for a profit. That, and which only when Ryota does the same RPG-like actions to it, however, has droppings instead that are meant for S-rank adventurers, which Ryota being Level 1, it should be impossible. But hey, rules are meant to be broken, which if you haven't ready caught on by now, it's naming gimmick should already be an indication in and of itself that quite possibly, reincarnated figures like Ryota essentially are the only people who could benefit from this Nihonium dungeon.

However, let's not kid ourselves here. Ryota is as bland as the average, typical OP MC as it gets, that as the show (and its original source material) surmises that indeed, Ryota's unique skill truly makes him OP even at Level 1. All that he's good for are the usual aspects of a good Samaritan, and the unique skill that when a gun comes in, he's like an alchemist to fuse and combine traits to make new and distinguished bullets for the weapon's use. His saviour of young girl Emily Brown, she is quite the enthuiastic kid who sports a huge hammer as her main weapon and plays fiddle to Ryota being his support and family as a growing party. The bunny girl of Eve Callusleader is quite the literate "support" character: she is strong enough to one-shot KO adventurers with her hand chop skill, but this doesn't apply to Ryota, which she starts calling him "low-level" due to her angst, and her only appeal is carrots, since she's a bunny girl, that's all. The other support characters, who also plays fiddle to the "Ryota Family" party...is the typical harem party of sorts, which, come on, there's no reason for lazy writing like that, but since Miki Nazuna himself wants to be "the fastest", he's fueled by the laziness to not be inspired by anything and go the safe route, which par for the course helps lengthen the story, but it does not do anything to satisfy our tastes for a suited cast of characters who are just as barebones as they arrive.

I'm not surprised that Maho Film is tasked with the show's production, which if to be perfectly honest, since the studio's debut exactly 4 years ago with novelist Chirolu's Summer 2019 anime of UchiMusume a.k.a If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord, the production may matured overtime, but this show just brought me back to UchiMusume's level of quality, which isn't saying a fair lot, but the studio really is the kind of a 2nd-rate production house that tells you not to expect much from it. I'm just waiting for the chance for the now 5-year-old studio to have a breakthrough, but if being content with where it is does give it a better face, then let it be so with a decent production. Together with the music of its OP and ED songs which are average, it does its job for that one sole purpose only.

Nowadays, people can skip barebones mediocre Isekai shows because they are nothing noteworthy at all. But as a trash Isekai connoisseur, my fight with watching lots of 2nd and 3rd-rate studios producing average Isekai shows every season will continue on, because there could still be potential, but 99% of the time, that potential is wasted, just like with this show.

Just skip and move on.

“My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1” is what happens when You inject a little of a slow life / iyashikei vibe to an OP MC genre. This show has an identity crisis (which is an affliction that more and more anime suffer from). It wants to be it all. An action show - ends up with boring action. A harem show - ends up with little “romance”. An adventure show - ends up with absolutely no stakes. A slice of life… ok, that part is done the best, but it’s still not very good. I would call it passable. And even sprinklesa tiny bit of iyashikei on top. All that under an OP MC eff me sideways isekai.

The premise was interesting. An office worker, named Ryouta Satou, dies of overworking. After death he is sent to another world. Fantasy world that looks a lot like medieval Europe with magic, game logic and system, because writers now are too lazy to come up with something more original. In this world he is stuck at lvl 1. It could imply that he would be in a world of shit and would have to find other ways of dealing with challenges than brute forcing them. But… as the title gives it away, that is not the case. Instead of a thoughtful, methodical and intelligent MC we get a classical “I’m OP AF” writing. He is weak but that lasts for about 2,5 episodes, after that it’s “the world bends over backwards for me” writing.

Despite that, there is one thing I actually liked about world building. Ryouta actually acknowledges the absurdity of a world with such strange and specific rules and even takes advantage of them. I wouldn’t call him intelligent in a way that Light Yagami is intelligent, but he is smart enough to experiment anytime a new information or item comes his way. Even if a lot of the time he’s just stating the obvious conclusions.

Now let’s talk about the main cast.

Ryouta Satou - our resident MC. He died of overwork… Seriously, what the hell?” Did I miss a memo about karoshi taking truck-kin’s job in sending people to different worlds?I mean, it’s not a bad change but it has become cliche rather quickly. He appeared in the new world in a rather original way - as an item drop. He’s not really anything special as far as MCs goes. He’s kind, ignorant of his new surroundings, always willing to help others even if it’s just pro publico bono. Despite being lvl 1 he has a very special skill that makes it that item drops from enemies are always the highest quality. He even gets drops from creatures that are believed to not give them. Thanks to that he quickly acquires money and even an overpowered revolver that looks similar to Smith & Wesson Model 686 kal. 357Mag. A unique weapon that has even more unique ammunition. With them he’s able to defeat enemies that in normal circumstances would require a full party or even a regiment.

Emily Brown - a young (age unknown) woman who got Ryouta as an item drop after killing a slime. She’s basically honey for the heart (a polish proverb) of the show. Almost every scene with her, outside of combat, has a strong relaxing almost soothing vibe to it. She’s very motherly to most people, but it’s obvious she cares for Ryouta a lot and is very wife-like towards him. Her dream was to have her own house and thanks to our MC she got it. In combat she uses a giant hammer to support our MC. She’s a very skilled cook and admires Ryouta for his heroic tendencies. Her tragic backstory is losing her mother who, like Ryouta, had a tendency to help others. After receiving a home from him, she’s the one who proposes that they live together.

Before I go onto the rest of the main coterie I would like to make a comment about those two. I actually like their relationship. They talk openly about their feelings and expectations, at least in the beginning of the series, as time goes by they stop doing that. Despite that they are what I would call an almost healthy functioning relationship. I would really like it if their relationship status was properly stated and not left in the air. They act like a married couple more than once and yet, based on how his “harem” is growing, it seems they are not an official couple. A wasted potential if You ask me. Another thing I don’t like about it is that Emily always goes with whatever Ryouta says. I would prefer to see them argue, present their arguments in an adult fashion and have Ryouta's idea rejected.

Eve Callusleader - a walking terminator and carrot addict in the form of a playboy bunny. At first it appears that she’s more interested in carrots that Ryouta can provide her than anything else but despite that she’s more than willing to help out when he needs it. I think she’s supposed to be comic relief but she ends up as the most annoying and unnecessary character in the show. Her “tragic” backstory is that some people told her to eat carrots when she was exclusively a carnivore and that her “friend” from another world disappeared in front of her eyes. It’s… dumb. She knew him only for a couple of minutes, an hour at max probably. She fights unarmed and her special attack, which she uses a lot, is named “Excalibur” and is said to be the one of the more powerful ones.

Celeste - a skilled pyromancer. Despite her prowles she is able to use only one spell and is prone to exhaustion after using it just a few times. A little like Megumin from Konosuba. Her tragic backstory is that she’s been used and abused because of her spell and inability to use other spells. She has high stats in intelligence and willpower (do shit, she’s a mage) and is very proficient in gathering intel. She’s similar to the “old” Ryouta in the fact that she was working herself to the bone. That forced Ryouta to help her out and started their relationship. She develops a crush for Ruouta and is more than happy to join his coterie.

There is one more person in his coterie at the end of the series - Alice Wonderland (subtle). Unfortunately she is introduced so late in the game that apart from the fact she has lvl 2 limit and is able to create something like a familiar from specific enemies there is no info about her.

Because of its slice of life vibes the show doesn’t really have an overarching plot or even a main goal the MC strives for. It’s just the daily grind for Ryouta and the ever growing gang. It starts slow with almost logical progression. A newbie starts with killing small fries to get by. It has a nice flow to it. Unfortunately the show really quickly evolves into plot armour bullshit. By the halfway mark Ryouta is an established hero of the town and the world just bends over backwards for him. He can do no wrong and he always gets the best possible result even if it makes no logical sense. The greatest bullshit is with the final boss of the series. I’m not going to spoil the fight but the only reason he won is plot bullshit and lazy writing. It actually really pissed me off because it’s a really shitty ending for the season. That boss with her powers could have been the ultimate test for our heroes. Instead we got… whatever that shit was.

Unfortunately the show uses some cheap tricks to make You care for the cast. The main being using retrospection where the characters are alone adding some slow music to it and some sad monologue. It’s so obvious it’s almost funny. What’s not funny is the fact that it’s repeated for almost all of the members of the coterie to the point where when a new member is introduced I just waited for some sad retrospective shot.

At the end of the day I have seen much worse shows with much worse both premise and execution. This one is just forgettable. It has its moments, especially between Ryouta and Emili in the beginning, but it tries and fails to do too much to ever become anything more than just another OP MC isekai.

Before I say anything, I admit I'm watching it and will most likely watch 'till the end for the sake of curiosity. Why? Well, I really do wonder why this anime exists in the first place. By that I mean, everything so far is weird, most of it doesn't make sense, and also the details are inconsistent. The first thing that bothers me is how they made it a story about a world where everything is a "dropped item" from dungeon monsters, and everything will become monsters if you just leave it in random places. Now, by that itself, how could humans even existin that world? Where did they come from? or rather, how did they exist in the first place? If, let's say, humans exist like the MC, meaning, the first humans there were "dropped items"? Were they summoned? Like, again, everything including food are "dropped items".

Now, the inconsistency. They say everything are dropped items, including fruits and vegetables, yet trees exist in that world. By that, how do those tree reproduce? Are there no fruits, or at least, no seeds? On the other hand, why do fruits in that world, that are dropped items, have seeds? Besides food, about "items that are "left alone" that will turn into stray monsters" is weird, like, why do people have homes? wouldn't everything turn into monsters if they, let's say, go to work? And the list goes on and on.

Now, why will I keep watching it? Let's say, I'm just curious, will they say anything about that world? Is it some kind of simulated world created by some mad scientist? Is it hell? Or what? Not gonna lie, it'll be only for that reason. Why? everything else is that bad. Besides the weird, illogical, and inconsistent plot, there's nothing interesting in the artwork, and the battle scene's actions are, no other words to describe it, lazy. So yeah, unless you're curious about the same thing as me, so far (up to episode 6) it's not worth watching at all, really.

Definitely in the "So bad it's good" category. Story was not unique at all, it was a complete isekai cliche. Art style was standard, nothing particularly special. Characters were essentially caricatures, I would say my favourite was the one who ate carrots like they were crack. Character reactions were wild to say the least. MC wastes so much time and does things in practically the hardest way possible for no reason. MC essentially does a gotta catch em all run, it's practically comical that he gets OP so quickly with basically no barriers at all. Girls fall for him on sight, all situations work out and the show twistsreality to make MC the good guy. It's bad but it was funny in its absurdity so was enjoyable.

I finished this anime in a day (18th of March 2025); another Isekai anime but in a different way. The protagonist would be a typical corporate employee of the original world but reincarnated into this new one at level 1 without any overpowered abilities or magical powers. As much as you would see how he grows stronger and starts helping the people of this world, the story pulls you in more. The unique factor established earlier on specifies that monsters drop all-important items, so things like meat and vegetables aren't grown like in a normal world. Strange. The story is good to watch, but then there addsa little romance. I would say 7 out of 10.

Stupid, but fun In a world where necessities and usables such as food or items come from the drops of defeated monsters in dungeons, adventurers exist. Our isekai'd MC ended up as one of these dropped items for an unsuspecting and quickly-friended adventurer. And here it is guys; Even though our MC is level one, he has a cheat skill that gives him better and/or unique items from drops, which gives him the edge over everyone else. His journey continues with the typical isekai grinding and waifu collecting. An interesting premise that sounds pretty fun to watch, though it couldn't be said that the anime exactly executedthe story as well as it potentially could have.

Story: 4/10 (low average; fun, but lots of plot contrivances and story elements that are never or badly explained, and subtle power inconsistency)

Although the anime has the fun elements the original premise has, it was still full of stupid plot armor.

Examples would be: mc conveniently gets an item that so happens to help the current episode and plot needs, mc conveniently has almost god-perfect precision with his weapon with no magic and no explanation or reason, a person appearing out of thin air to be the cause of a character's character development to then right after disappear into thin air (literally) with no further explanation; and more.

Characters: 5/10 (average; average one dimesional character; average kind isekai MC)

Art/animation: 4.5/10 (low average; average animation, underwhelming below-average fighting animations)

Enjoyability: 6/10 (high average)

Even though it was full of stupid and unexplained elements, it still had the fun and vibes the original premise had. I also never remember being bored watching any episodes at any point. If season 2 came out, I would watch it.

Overall score: 4.9~

Truth be told I barely ever rate or review anything but. this has to be said 4 episodes in and the thing that is advertised in the summary has not even shown up. I came into this anime expecting well the MC to create things I don't even see a hint of that. I was expecting all the classic things to happen since it is an isekai which there is already tons of so it does not bother me since well kinda hard to do something that defiles the expectations on something that is this widespread. So I came into this anime just happy tosee the MC creating crazy things since it is kind of fun seeing what creativity our MC might have but there has not been any crafting or even a special ability he just has S rank drop rate which is neither a skill or even creating things its just making mobs drops stuff. like am I missing something or will it take a little longer for the MC to actually create stuff.

Very illogical anime where you will find a lot of things within this isekai world that just doesn't seem right or possible. I don't talk about the default magical thing about it, I'm rather talking about things like mobs dropping food instead of farming in a field being a thing as major example. Another major example would be the fact that items/objects turn into monsters when they are left alone. Now if this would be for specific items/objects then it wouldn't be a problem specifically. Yet this according to this anime means that literally ANYTHING can turn into a monster. Yet for some reason, it doesn'tunless the plot says it should. How much pens and paper would be present that doesn't turn into a monster? You could argue for furniture and houses the same way. It's no more then a collection of items and objects. Yet it doesn't. So this world is inherently broken and very badly put together with this failed logic. What about clothes that are left in a closet? Isn't that technically abandoned as it isn't used?

Now with that said this anime is mainly directed at a younger audience clearly as it's very tame and too cutesy to be for older audiences. Is this a bad thing? Well, I'm actually not sure what to say to that. It makes things boring for sure.

The characters are rather bland and in some cases plain annoying, like Eve for example who seems to be only there to get carrots and comedic relieve that fails.

Yet Ryouta himself is a typical "I'm oblivious to women but can show I have a brain otherwise" type of guy. Yes, the typical copy/paste male main character. One that came into the world by being a slime drop which is never really mentioned again nor is anything being done with that aspect ever again. Which makes the whole thing pointless to start with.

(Small edit: Now shouldn't he be not left alone or 'un-used' as he's technically a mob drop himself? This could mean he can turn into a monster himself based on the logic in this anime)

Emily being a "I am such a good girl that I can't do wrong (unless I see roaches and I turn insane)" type of girl. Which is also a copy/paste type of thing.

Over all this anime tries to be something unique, yet fails completely at it by adding too much copy/paste to it in the story and the characters while being rather dull and boring. It doesn't make for a good show.

Now would this be a anime that you should watch? Well, despite of what I said so far it does make a good anime to waste your time with if you have some to spare. But if you don't have extra time, don't waste it on this anime as it's too copy/paste and boring.

Typical isekai, a man from real-world go to another world. He started with low status, but has unique condition so he can upgrade all status from lowest to highest. Story 6/10 The idea is good enough, started with new char with low status, have unique condition, but the lack for the development of the story. Too fast from one story to another story. Not enough conflict, make the this a bit boring. Animation 7/10 This anime has decent animation. Not bad, not perfect, but still enjoyable. Sound 5/10 Background sound not really match with the scene. Because the plot from one to another too fast, so the music also notreally enjoyable.

Character 7/10

This anime has characters with enough differentiation.

Enjoyment 5/10

Not really enjoy watching this anime because the story and the sound.

Overall 6/10

This anime is not really recommended.

First, let's point out the basics of the worldbuilding. This isekai starts from relatively interesting premises, taking the concept of "dungeon crawling" and "farming a dungeon" to the extremes. There is, quite literally, nothing else outside dungeons and cities, just a wasteland and a rocky desert. There is no farming, and, presumably, no crafting besides that of items you can use in dungeons, like magic carts and the likes: all you need, from vegetables to meat and luxury items like wine or perfume, can be found as a drop of monsters in the dozens and dozens of dungeons. Even money is a dungeon drop, soyou either work as a dungeon crawler/adventurer or as a receptionist to buy and sell dungeon items. Adventurers have a leveling system with hard-level caps, aka. you can't level up over a certain level and thus get better skills (measured on a scale from F to S) - also, leveling up and maxing your (personal) level doesn't automatically mean you'll get better skills, either. You might as well be level 99 and have all skills at F, or be at level 1 and have all skills at S like the MC, of course.

Also, you can't leave items dropped in dungeons outside unattended, or it'll turn into a monster, depending on the item's rarity. The monsters that pop out from unattended items (even trash needs to be burned, or it turns into zombies) don't usually drop anything, and are called "strays." Except for the main character, who is reincarnated with full S in drop rates (yes, even the chance of dropping anything is rated from F to S - tough luck if you're full F and capped at level 1) - the MC gets *gun bullets* and other fancy items from killing strays outside of dungeons, and even has a dungeon he alone can farm where mobs drop stat-increasing items he alone can use. Convenient, right?

Now, if you've followed me up to this point without falling asleep, you should have a decent idea of the world of this isekai, and I *had* to go into detail about it because, I believe, this is the strong feature of the series: the MC being full S in all drop rates, he's OP as usual for your average isekai character, but him being overpowered is rather the result of constantly farming in a genuinely smart way, taking advantage of the system and his naturally high stats, rather than just being born with the magic capacity of blowing up mountains. Props to the show for that. And, trust me, it's genuinely interesting and entertaining to see how the MC comes up with new combinations and new "tricks" to cheat the system in a mostly light-hearted atmosphere, with a cast of instantly likable characters. But if you don't like this kind of stuff, then you'll probably get bored very fast. The mobs are uninteresting, their design is repetitive and uninspired, and the low animation quality doesn't help - but the use of CGI is relatively limited, so even with a "simpler" animation, the fight scenes are decent. Nothing compared to the first season of Arifureta, at least, with that criminal, constant use of bad 3D CGI. You won't find that here.

Now, the characters. 2-10/10.

MC. Like most isekai MCs, he's just a blank slate on which you are supposed to project your frustrations.

Eve: "THE CARROT IS DEAD!" - I laughed out loud at 2 AM in my basement when Eve delivered that line. I love Eve. I think everyone needs an Eve in their life. Eve is life, Eve is love! All hail Eve. She's just a bunny girl who loves carrots and is physically abusive. What else do you need? Also she's a bunny girl. 10/10.

Emily. Ah, Emily. She's just... she's Emily. She's cute, affectionate, hates roaches, and uses a giant hammer. That's about it. Instantly likable, nonetheless.

Celeste. She's a work-a-holic hot girl who loves cute things and uses fire magic. She's not very important, except to remind the MC of his past life as a salaryman in a black company. She's barely a character at all, and instantly falls in love with the MC, leaving her younger brother behind to join him in the Harem House. Wew.

Erza. That kiss was uncalled for, but it's also the only romantic action you'll ever see in the show, so take it as you wish.

Overall... they're bland characters. Except Eve. Eve is god-tier.

The plot. Lol, what plot? 2/10.

And yet, the show was genuinely enjoyable: as I said, the strong point is the interesting worldbuilding, and how the show comes up with new intriguing ways to bend its own rules to make the MC overpowered and/or rich. I believe they should've dared more and made it even crazier than what it is. It had the potential to be even more clever, funnier, and absurd, but it feels like it didn't go far enough. Still worth watching.

No. Just no, seriously. 1. "I'm level 1, but my unique skill makes me OP." Was this supposed to create conflict? Why even have the limitation of being at LVL1 when you'll hit-kill everything regardless? 2. "Monsters drop vegetables, food, and any items you'll ever need." Who had this idea? This is how am I supposed to be curious about this world's system? To see how complex and original it is? This story's uniqueness is entirely based on slimes dropping carrots. Even if someone ever liked this, it only gets repeated over and over to literally everything in this story. Politics, economics, characters, skills, everything... everything is based onzombies dropping burgers....

3. "I died from overworking, now I'm against overworking and higher-ups abusing others!"

Wow, how heroic. Especially for someone who on his first days after reincarnating worked for days straight until he got those "temporary dark circles" under his eyes to buy a house in this new world. All while using a skill that allows him to work ten times less than the normal folk and earn double. Wow. The divine avatar of fair working wages. Applause, everyone. Clap your hands.

4. "I can get guns and ammo from killing stray monsters!"

Eh-? Ahh? HUH?? What did I just hear????? Let's calm down and see this again. It's not an action anime, it's a layback medieval magic setting, where everyone uses bows, staffs, shields, and swords to casually do dungeons... but you're getting a revolver from killing a giant gorilla................. ????? ????? ?????? ????? ? ???? ?????? Oh no, wait. He gets another one, its two revolvers not one. Now it's okay. Now he can shoot his two revolvers at the same time, make their bullets hit each other midair, and amplify the attack or use elemental combos against his targets...

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

5. "These girls are so kind. My life is way better now that I have people around me."

My man. They're such a walking bunch of stereotypes that's hard to believe they exist. Like, in fiction. It's hard to believe why someone would ever write them to make a serious story. It's like the author took a single concept or random word and made an entire character out of it. That's all. Forget two-dimensional plain characters, these are one-dimensional. Congrats, that's a feat that I never imagined to see! And there's no character development at all, at least to where I stopped watching it. Even when events happens that supposedly were to advance their arcs, it gets erased from existence in the following episodes as if they never occurred.

- - -

Conclusion: I recommend this anime if you want a layback anime and you don't care for world building, story development, complex or deep characters, interesting magic system concepts, cohesive narrative, good art or animation, emotional music, memorable learnings, or anything that could make entertainment good. :)

Spoiler-less, TL;DR, fast, simple, and easy-to-digest review: Isekai, Usual Trash, Too Shallow 3/10 Animation? Meh (-) Mediocre at best. Bland at worst. Characters? Trash (---)Let's see... uhh... the MC is bland and trash, the girls are too plain that watching paint dry is more appealing than them, and their designs are ripoff from Konosuba. There's discount Kazuma with guns (why?), tall Megumin, and loli Lalatina- I mean Darkness.

Story? Trash (---)

Even other trashy isekai animes have more interesting premise and plot than this. And why would the MC spoil the plot of the episode before the OP? Weird... Also world-building and world logic are too shallow. Writing is too shallow as well.

Pacing? Bad (--)

Episodic yet lacks proper coherency. (Yawn...) ok let's move on...

OST? Bad (--)

OP is cringe. Skip!

Enjoyment? Bad (--)

It's not even a junkfood entertainment. Heck, worse than eating cardboard box. You don't need Gordon Ramsey to judge this "food" to him. I'm here, and I'm even overqualified to review this anime. I'm not even popular at all!!!... yet. We need an abridged version of this, just like the Smartphone Isekai.

If you want a feel good anime, where you can just relax for an afternoon and just watch some low stake adventure with a big dose of wholesome slice of life, but you also want it in an isekai and very light harem, because you have some undiscovered kins or I dont know, this is your anime. The animation ranges from great to meeeeeehhhhh, but it is usually watchable, the voice acting is.pretty good for the main cast, it is less ideal for the side characters, but nothing immensely bad. The soundtrack with the intro and outro song is average, nothing extraordinary, but it fits well. Thatshow I could describe this whole anime, lightweight, feel good, average.

If you dont take this seriously (there is no story really, I mean its just 12 episodes up until now, so if it gets a second season we shall see what happens) and you can look trough the glaring plotholes, it is very enjoyable.

At first, this anime began quite pleasantly for me, as I anticipated that the premise would revolve around the two central characters (fortunately, they didn't become a couple) experiencing their daily lives, offering a more 'slice of life' approach within an isekai setting... However, it became evident that the anime introduced certain concepts that became rather... irksome to watch. The moment the main character acquired his weapon, things started to take a turn for the worse, in my opinion. ----------------- Pt/Br No início, esse anime começou de forma bastante agradável para mim, pois eu antecipava que a premissa giraria em torno dos dois personagens centrais (felizmente, eles não setornaram um casal) vivendo suas vidas cotidianas, oferecendo uma abordagem mais "slice of life" em um cenário de isekai...

No entanto, ficou evidente que o anime introduziu certos conceitos que se tornaram um tanto... irritantes de assistir. O momento em que o personagem principal adquiriu sua arma, as coisas começaram a tomar um rumo para pior, na minha opinião

My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1 presents a unique take on gaming narratives. While the premise follows a familiar theme, the execution feels fresh and engaging. The story is somewhat predictable in its progression, yet the allure lies in its immersive world-building and strategic gameplay elements, catering to fans of the genre. Regarding the art style, it aptly complements the narrative, enhancing the overall experience. The characters, while not deeply complex, possess well-defined strengths and flaws. They navigate challenges in a believable manner, reacting realistically to situations, which adds depth to their development. Readers who appreciate gaming-themed stories or narratives centered around uniqueabilities will likely find this series enjoyable. However, those seeking groundbreaking twists or intricate character dynamics might find it slightly lacking. Overall, it's an entertaining read with its own charm, appealing to a specific audience within the gaming/fantasy genre.
