Very enjoyable!

There are only 2 reincarnation anime I've enjoyed so far, this and Kights & Magic. It's a little campy and they could add a little more detail, but i laughed my butt off on several occasions. The main character is noble and a little clueless at times, but it has a great dynamic and the characters mesh well. The antagonist is a person you want to hate and pity at the same time. It's an exciting show that seems to be building to an exciting crescendo. Here's hoping for a season 2!

Deserves more than it gets

It's a great anime for people who love overpowered heros. I understand that's kind of a niche taste, but I quite enjoyed the thought that was put into it.

Oh, and an anime where the MC actually gets the girl? No failed love confessions or endless awkward "will they won't they". It's refreshing.

Underrated

The MC is reincarnated after dying to a world of magic. Where he is the strongest one to use magic as well as swordsmanship. It deserves atleast 8/10.

Trivia
The main joke of the series is everyone saying Shin lacks common sense. However, he actually doesn't. He applies the common sense of Earth to his new life, which obviously doesn't fit with everything else.
