Another World With My Smartphone Episode 1
Okay, let’s talk about Another World With My Smartphone, Episode 1. Yeah, the isekai where a guy dies and gets a phone. It’s… something.
The Truck and the Apology
First, the truck. Gotta love those classic isekai truck encounters. This one’s even more epic because God directly apologizes.
Whoops, sorry, buddy! Here’s a phone to make up for it. Seriously? God's like the ultimate clumsy gamer.
Must Read
The Phone Upgrade
And not just any phone. It's a super-powered, can-access-the-internet-in-another-world phone. Imagine the possibilities! No more relying on unreliable town criers.
I mean, hello? Google Maps to avoid goblin ambushes. That alone makes this show worthwhile.
Our Hero: Touya Mochizuki
Then there's Touya, our main character. He seems pretty chill about the whole “suddenly dead” thing. A bit too chill, maybe?
Like, shouldn’t you be a little more freaked out, dude? Free phone, I guess solves all problems.
He's got that classic nice-guy protagonist vibe. Which, admittedly, can be a bit… bland. But hey, somebody’s gotta be the good guy.
The Instant Harem?
Oh boy, and then there's the introduction to the potential harem. Two adorable twins show up almost immediately.
It's isekai tradition at this point, right? The instant friend (and maybe more) magnet. It’s like fantasy world dating apps are super effective.
I’m not saying I don’t like it… but it’s definitely a trope we’ve seen a million times.
Magic and Monster Slaying
He learns magic almost instantly too. Super convenient, right? I wish learning new skills was that easy in real life.
“Oh, you want to learn fire magic? Just think about fire!” Boom, fire. Take that, university fees!
Then comes the monster slaying. It’s pretty standard fare: monster appears, hero defeats monster. But with phone apps!
The Episode 1 Verdict
So, Another World With My Smartphone Episode 1. Was it groundbreaking? Nah. Was it entertaining? Arguably, yes. Especially the phone aspect.
Look, it’s comfort food. Sometimes you just want something easy to watch. Like a magical grilled cheese sandwich.
Okay, unpopular opinion time: I secretly enjoyed it. There, I said it! Judge me if you must.
Don’t get me wrong, it's cheesy. It’s predictable. But it’s also kind of… fun? Guilty pleasure level: high.
The plot is simple, the characters are relatively straightforward. It doesn't require a ton of brainpower to follow. That's actually nice sometimes.
Plus, the idea of having internet access in a fantasy world is just inherently hilarious. Imagine the memes!
Overall, I would rate it a 6/10 stars. Nothing groundbreaking, but certainly, a good starting point.
I definitely laughed more than I expected and was genuinely curious how he would use his phone to explore the world.
Ultimately, if you're looking for a serious, thought-provoking anime, this isn't it. But if you're in the mood for some lighthearted isekai fun, Another World With My Smartphone might just scratch that itch.
So, did you watch it? What did you think? Let me know if you secretly enjoyed it too!
