Season 1
When 20-year-old college student Haruto Amakawa dies in a traffic accident, he does not expect to wake up in an unfamiliar world in the body of a young boy named Rio. As their memories and personas fuse, Rio realizes that he now also possesses magical powers. He is relieved to find that his burning passion for revenge against his mother's murderers has not subsided, despite his newly changed identity. Not soon after, Rio comes across the kidnapped princess of the Bertram Kingdom and saves her without hesitation. To express his gratitude, the king grants him the opportunity to enroll in the Bertram Royal Academy. Believing this to be a new chapter in his life, he is excited to study at this prestigious academy, but life here proves to be difficult for him, a slum-dweller surrounded by the majestic children of nobles.
Season 2
After Rio escapes the capital of the Beltrum Kingdom with his former teacher Celia Claire and his bond spirit, Aishia, he finds himself in a dire situation once again. As it turns out, multiple people from his past life in Japan are suddenly scattered around the new world. Rio rushes to their help, saving a small group and taking them under his wing. To his surprise, one of the rescuees is his old self's childhood friend Miharu Ayase. The newcomers were not the only ones summoned. With old friends and new allies by his side, Rio sets out to locate the other abductees while searching for a way to send them back to Japan. However, Rio never loses sight of his main goal: avenging his mother's death.

I’d like to believe that I’ve watched quite a lot of titles since I started my anime journey back in 2017. The problem or advantage with this is that you can easily recognise patterns in shows, you can easily tell which direction the show is going to take. And for most shows, you can just tell how generic they are going to be from a mile away. Although this one hasn’t introduced guilds or adventuring storylines (I’m still on episode 3, about to start episode 4), it follows the same plot lines of ‘I have too much power, but I can’t be arsed so I need to hide’. They tried to hard to downplay the main characters accomplishments any time he did something. It kind of gets boring at this point because you can never feel happy for him. And despite everyone everyone else watching him grow for 5 years I think, they still doubt him. They never change their outlook on him. Even when he’s being bullied, no one really looks out for him and they just look away. In the battle against that huge monster when he had saved the little princess, no one cared that he had sacrificed himself for the princess. Despite she trying to get them to acknowledge that he did something nice. They even end up pinning it on him feeling guilty about making him fall in the first place, when everyone knew he was nowhere near her in the first place. They tried really hard to make sure him defeating the huge monster would go uncredited, how could they not hear or lose track of a monster you’re running away from that has such a presence. And they only show up when the battle is over, because we can’t have any witnesses witnessing the main character taking out a monster nobody could handle. No one is going to question why it’s suddenly quiet when a minute ago you were running for your lives... all in the bid to just have the plot progress in the direction of the main character being exiled and taking the blame for what was the commanding officers directions. Anyway watch it if you want a generic show that you’ll be able to guess what the next move is going to be, which I presume from what the previews of episode 4 shows, is going to be assembling our harem because what’s an isekai with a harem.
