00:00Now that the last episode is finally out, I feel like I have to say something about this anime.

00:06So, if you're planning on watching it and aren't sure whether it's worth your time,

00:10definitely watch it. I honestly can't believe how underrated this anime is.

00:15Firstly, unlike other IceGuy anime I've watched over the years, I've never come across anything

00:21quite like this. Summoning students into another world is the closest thing to Tate no Yuasha no

00:27Nariyagari, but here we actually get a bit more of the main character's backstory. At times,

00:33it even reminded me of solo leveling. The art is beautiful, every detail of the scenery stands out,

00:39the animation is very solid, and the characters are incredibly pretty, possibly some of the

00:44prettiest I've seen in anime, especially long-haired characters, but also Akira. Oh, Saran, my beloved!

00:51Speaking of characters, none of the good guys annoyed or bothered me, which is honestly rare.

00:58Each character has distinct traits, and many of them undergo meaningful character development.

01:03The relationship between the two main characters is one of the stronger aspects of the show,

01:09and Akira himself stands out from the usual protagonist archetype, written by men. To me,

01:15he feels like a character written by a woman. I'm not actually sure about the author's gender,

01:20and I absolutely love that. To clarify, Akira is generally very indifferent, but at times he

01:27clearly shows how much he cares about other people, especially Amelia. He isn't perverted at all,

01:33which again reminds me a bit of Neofumi. However, unlike Neofumi, he openly shows his affection and

01:40love for the FL. Secondly, there were many unexpected twists that I genuinely didn't see coming.

01:46I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil anything. This is an anime best experienced

01:52without prior knowledge. Furthermore, the fan service was minimal and nowhere near the level

01:58seen in many other popular, overhyped, anime that came out recently. The world building stands out as

02:04a solid element of the anime. While it may not be groundbreaking, the division of countries and how

02:11each of them has its own king and princess is clearly presented and interesting. Also, the demon lord and

02:18the idea that demons can be both good and bad add some depth to the story. With the last episode of

02:25the first season, this anime truly gave me exactly what I needed. This is the first review I felt compelled

02:31to write because I was genuinely surprised by how many negative reactions this anime received. After

02:38reading other reviews, I noticed that people who don't recommend this anime have either never watched

02:44anything worse or have questionable taste, whereas I enjoyed it so much that I binge-watched the entire

02:51series without hesitation. All in all, this anime is not a masterpiece, but it's great to watch when

02:57you're in the mood for something enjoyable and easy to follow, with lots of interesting characters and a

03:03level of meaningful dialogue that's often missing in other anime. Communication is key. Overall, it's easily an 8-10 anime.
