Every year, various works with various ideas are made into anime, and the reincarnation in another world genre is extremely popular, but what reincarnation in another world works have you enjoyed so far? Even though they are all called reincarnation in another world works, there are a variety of settings and characters, so you can't just assume that "it's a reincarnation in another world work, so it's interesting." There are many works that are completely different even though they are in the same genre, so some readers may often wonder what work to watch each season. This work, "The Strongest Onmyoji's Reincarnation in Another World," which I will introduce this time, is one of the many reincarnation in another world works, so I think that many readers are even more hesitant to watch it. So this time, I have summarized the interesting parts of this work from various perspectives and the slightly unsatisfying parts. Before watching the anime, please use this article as a basis for checking whether this work, "The Strongest Onmyoji's Reincarnation in Another World," is suitable for you! !
A unique setting of an onmyoji and a wizard
If we were to describe the characteristics of this work in one word, we could say that it is a work that adopts a unique setting of an onmyoji and a wizard, which was not possible in conventional works about reincarnation in another world. There have been many stories about a young man who was not very successful in reality suddenly reincarnating into another world one day and becoming invincible, but there have been very few works in which the protagonist, who was the strongest onmyoji in reality, is reincarnated into a world with a different taste from the world he originally lived in and becomes invincible.
For those who are tired of traditional reincarnation-in-another-world works
Therefore, although this is a reincarnation-in-another-world work, it can be said that it is a work with a very different taste from traditional reincarnation-in-another-world works. For those who are tired of traditional reincarnation-in-another-world works, it can be said that this is a work that allows you to enjoy a moderately fresh story.
The fun of otherworldly reincarnation works is intact
On the other hand, the classic development of otherworldly reincarnation works is well depicted, so although some of the settings are innovative, it is not too far removed from conventional works. The fun of conventional otherworldly reincarnation works is depicted as it is, so you can fully enjoy it as an otherworldly reincarnation work.
The balance between new attempts and traditional fun is exquisite
Thus, while this work is attempting something new that has never been done before, it also firmly adopts the traditional development so as not to destroy the fun that is inherent to otherworldly reincarnation works. Because it is a work that firmly covers both new attempts and traditional fun, you can enjoy it with peace of mind.
Following the classics of reincarnation in another world
Thus, while this work adopts a novel setting, it is structured in a way that does not destroy the fun of traditional reincarnation in another world works. From here, I would like to pick out and introduce some of the classic settings of reincarnation in another world works that are adopted in this work.
Mascot Characters
An indispensable part of reincarnation-in-another-world works is the cute-looking mascot character that plays an active role throughout the story. In this work, Yuki, who has served the protagonist since his previous life and can transform into a cute woman, appears as a mascot.
Yurufuwa heroine and tsundere heroine
More important than the setting depicted in the work are the various attractive heroines who play an active role in the work. This work thoroughly covers both the yurufuwa heroine and the tsundere heroine, which are the norms of other world reincarnation works, so you can see that they put a lot of effort not only into the setting but also into the characters.
The protagonist is unrivaled
A strong protagonist is an indispensable character in an alternate world reincarnation work. In traditional works, the protagonist, who grows stronger through repeated setbacks, is the strongest from the beginning, and one of the attractions of alternate world reincarnation works is that you can enjoy the exhilarating development of conquering various enemies. In this work, the protagonist also plays an active role as the strongest character, so you can enjoy the exhilarating story progression as expected.
A work that will not disappoint
Thus, while this work adopts a novel setting, it is a work that firmly inherits the fun of traditional reincarnation-in-another-world works. It is a work that is moderately novel, yet shows the expected development without losing the fun of reincarnation-in-another-world works.
The mixed worldview is interesting
Furthermore, this work is also very interesting in terms of the worldview in which the characters play an active role. Since the protagonist is reincarnated from Japan in the Heian period, the extremely Japanese worldview of his previous life and the extremely Western worldview of his current life alternate, allowing you to enjoy a varied and interesting worldview.
A worldview unique to light novels
This is because this work was originally developed as a light novel, so there is no need to write the background one by one like in a manga work. Therefore, it was possible to switch between oriental depictions, which completely change the worldview, and Western depictions without fear of small changes. The fact that this work can alternate between the settings of two completely different worldviews is a remnant of the fact that it was originally a light novel.
Onmyoji vs Wizard
In this way, this work was able to depict both the Eastern and Western worldviews without fear, and succeeded in seamlessly pitting the Onmyoji, a character unique to the East, against the Wizard, a character unique to the West.
Japanese and Western Worlds
This work, which has successfully depicted two worlds, Japanese and Western, also succeeded in developing a story with a grand composition that connects the two worlds of the East and the West, which has never been depicted in previous anime works. Although stories of reincarnation in another world tend to be large in scale, the grandeur of the story of this work is unique and different from previous works.
Maybe I wanted a bit more of the Onmyoji element
However, this work is not perfect in every way. From the perspective of a core otaku, there are some elements that I wish were a bit more, so from here on I would like to explain the aspects of this work that were a bit disappointing.
Deviation from the original onmyoji
This work is a selling point for its unique setting of onmyoji, but the onmyoji depicted in this work seem to diverge a little from the original onmyoji. Onmyoji are not beings who perform various techniques like magicians, but basically, their role is to read fortunes from celestial bodies and remove curses placed on people. However, in this work, the onmyoji as people who confront ayakashi are a little too specialized in combat, so I get the impression that this is a little different from the original onmyoji.
I wanted to see some onmyoji-like techniques
I would love to see some more onmyoji-like techniques, whether in the original work or in cuts unique to the anime version. That's my impression of this work as a core onmyoji fan.
It's a pretty complete work for a reincarnation in another world!!
Despite these minor disappointing points, when viewed as a reincarnation-in-another-world work, this is an extremely well-made work.
Enjoy without stress
This work follows the rules of the original alternate world reincarnation work in which the protagonist is invincible, so you can basically enjoy the exhilarating depictions without seeing difficult or extremely serious situations. Therefore, there are not many depressing developments, making it an exciting work that you can enjoy casually.
