Saikyou no Ousama, Nidome no Jinsei wa Nani wo Suru?

Honestly? terrible anime. Low quality in animation, writing adaptation, (the anime's writing is terrible, but I'm told the manhwa is far better.) and seemingly very little effort on the animation studio's side. However, although it is a 4/10 for me, and it is kinda terrible, I do enjoy it. I think that's partially because I love this low quality, overused, milked try, and overinflated/overpopularized genre, and this copies and/or mirrors so many others in the genre that I can't bare to hate it. It's like the good parts of every trash tier anime.

I know it's trash, I know all the other animes I see ... in this one are trash, but it's my favorite parts of all of them. It's not a charming animation style, it's not even really "so bad it's good", it's just nostalgic. The same way that turkey burger is absolutely horrid tasting, but there is a certain appeal to it for me since I grew up on it because we couldn't afford beef. Same thing.

This anime is all the best parts of poverty lol. Still a 4/10, it's still poverty, but it's reminiscent of so many shows I've watched, I can't bare to hate it.

I'll finish it. I'll probably rewatch it in a few years. I kinda hope they make a season 2. It's still 4/10 tho.

As I approach episode 12, I honestly regret watching this anime even more. The animation is consistently substandard, with visuals that often feel stiff and lack detail, diminishing the immersive experience it should offer. Even worse, the anime is overloaded with excessive dialogue. Instead of letting the story unfold through action or character expression, we're subjected to a barrage of conversations that feel tedious and unnecessary. This significantly slows down the pacing, and boredom often sets in due to the minimal meaningful plot development. The combination of mediocre animation and an overly talkative script is truly annoying and detracts from the overall viewing pleasure.

This anime's animation and pacing are downright unbearable. It’s honestly painful to sit through. And yet, here I am—still watching—just because I heard the manhwa is good and supposedly better than Solo Leveling. But after 10 episodes? I can confidently say the story is trash. It feels like I’ve seen this exact same plot recycled a hundred times already.

And don’t even get me started on that damn magical beast dragon sound—“kiu kiu”—it’s so irritating I want to mute the screen every time. Watching this mess just reminds me why I sometimes regret watching anime in the first place.

A Cat Studio really had the audacity to ... renew this for a second season after delivering this? It’s like they're forcing another round of torture we never asked for. Please, have some mercy. Just because something was popular as a manhwa doesn’t mean you should butcher it like this.
