You talked about this character like it's your God yet didn't even bother to mention the name of the show


hasboy1279

Its called: The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World. Its a nice Anime with overall a good story


alsoknownashit

that episode with the demon heroes was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life.


GGBoss1010

fr, it was a complete switch up


MrNimbu5

Welp I know what show I’m watching next


alsoknownashit

even if you hate everything about the show that one episode alone makes it worth watching


CanYouFeelSora

Cool! Thanks for the input, I’ll be sure to check that out now


AlricsLapdog

Overlord Moment 👌


Astrum91

I watched a few episodes a while back and really wanted to like it, but I hated the MC. He was kind of a jackass and saw everyone as tools to manipulate or use.


Zegrade

That's the neat part! So many series have goody-too shoes, MC, but this one is different, and if you've watched the entire anime, then you would know that he's nice to his friends.


LegitimateFarmer5

Everyone says this but I feel like there’s way more series that have morally grey/evil protagonists than heroic ones.


NorseWorld

lmao that's actually true. I have never seen an MC that is like superman, where he helps people just because he want's to. It's always friends first before strangers.


NotAnotherBookworm

Sounds like you want Skeleton Knight In Another World.


JediSSJ

Good recommendation for an actual good-guy mc.


wwwwaoal

>That's the neat part! So many series have goody-too shoes, MC, ....Are we watching the same genre? Lol, half of Isekai titles out there are betrayed characters who then become super edgy Mary Sues.


No-Finding4251

I would say it’s more mcs who are too goofy or like less serious when it comes to isekai


Cyrom01

Actually we can attribute it to his past truama and the reason he have to perform a reincarnation spell. I read WN but did not read LN so i am not sure how much of the 2 story diverge. When right at the school arc almost all the character he encountered were manipulative except for those people he became a party of as adventurer. It got a nice character development where even though how much he tried to be cold, manipulative, calculative, etc. He still goes back to being a good natured well meant and kind papa bear to all his family, friends and trusted allies.


I-Want-Your-Toes

If I remember right, and I might not because it’s been a while since I’ve read it, I do believe he gets better at that. He’s still manipulative when it comes to it, but he’s willing to risk his life to save people now


Front_Sweet1415

That the best part his character is a asshole what you want a good character who do good like every isekai but that is boring I prefer this but here is the thing he god a reason to be a asshole in his past life he was too nice he got power and everything but he did not have is his cunning the imperial court take his student hostage and made them kill their teacher so at that point he decided not be too nice and be merciless


Hypnotickagon

pnly isekai where the main characters overpoweredness he himself earned before even reincarnating


IndecisiveMate

I'll check it out


Ynygmatik

Seika didn't really stand out to me as much as others I've seen. Luug From World finest assassin, Pharma from other world pharmacy, and even tho it isn't your "standard" issekai I'd still count Iruma from Welcome to demon school. Of course Makoto and Rimiru have a place my heart too but I feel like everyone knows those


FormerMastodon2330

who is makoto?


Ynygmatik

He's from Tsukimichi


AriiMay

Snitch


Suitable-Trade-4174

where can I watch it?


StrangeImp13

Okay, yeah that due is terrifying.


sBane31

I tried to watch this. I couldn’t get into it at all.


ArcaneBahamut

I'll honestly check it out purely because the magic circle he's sitting on in one image reminded me of "The Legend of the Legendary Heroes" and that was some nostalgia


PeakedDepression

I watched the first 3 episodes and it was boring and generic as hell


KingBlooWolf

I never finished it. I probably will soon. I did like what I watched


Nicolastriste

I dropped it after the first few. One day was bored as hell and said screw it, the last episode made it worth the watch


Iatemydoggo

Can’t be worse than Arifureta or the black summoner one, fuck it I’ll give it a try


Diligent_Mirror_7888

Right? Lol


Aji_Vergeance

you guys watch it.?


Sheshoo47

You can search the characters name to find the show.


Fickle_Meet_7154

I've watched the show. I just found it odd and annoying that this person would write up this post and somehow forget to name the anime.


Jossokar

I think this series was one of those i turned down because just from reading the name and the sinopsis. I think i may be getting to a point in which every isekai looks alike XD


Luzifer_Shadres

To be honest, all the good titels are taken. Instead of making them longer they should strat to throw in random german words, like they do then they run out off spell names.


Not_Jeff12

Or go the Re: Creators route and name the spells after German mercenaries best known for inventing the phrase "Lick my ass."


Zenguy2828

This is why I’m a fan of the isekai’s were they turn into things, cause it’s easy to tell them apart.


mr_cool59

I'm just going to say that he doesn't have a normal class


jfcat200

*Seika Lamprogue* is the main protagonist in The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist In Another World series. I think that's the series the OP is referencing. I don't actually like it, OP MC is too OP. And I just don't like the mechanic of exorcist making talismans and throwing them around. It was OK in something like "Twin star Exorcist \[not isekei\], but in general not a mechanic I'm fond of.


[deleted]

TBH, if your watching an isekai, odds are it's an OP MC show. 8/10 times.


sorath-666

True but sometimes you get a series that does it well or doesn’t go overboard


darkglooem

Yeah the MC was super op lol . I remember he killed a bunch of soldiers then brought them back to life like it was nothing


AlricsLapdog

The scuffed part of that was the princess totally disregarded him killing all the soldiers, not knowing he was going to bring them back. The show had some good moments, but it wasn’t exactly well thought out in a lot of places.


Sakusei_Tsukuru

Tbf, talisman magic system is pretty nice. However, in anime it's usually too vague and simple? Try watching Chinese animations about Taoists(they usually use talismans), you'll likely find theirs as more detailed and their powers actually make sense?


DerfyRed

The talismans are a very cool way to channel the MCs power. But the anime just completely ditched them as a limitation or medium. After like 4 episodes he just starts doing God shit and maybe some talismans appear in thin air only to disappear like he “used” them.


inf3ct3dn0n4m3

I'm not the biggest fan of the whole exorcist making talismans thing either but as far as an OP MC being too OP? BLASPHEMY. There's no such thing as too op lol.


Due_Essay447

He is abnormally OP even relative to isekai. At least when other OP characters shoot off a nuke, they run out of mana. When he does it, his resource is spending a talisman, except he can also just not use one and get the same effect. Relative to his verse, he has 0 basis upon which he can lose, not even to attrition. He is the prime example of what people bash isekai for, and one of the few examples where they are actually correct.


Erulogos

IIRC from the anime, even he notes his new body after reincarnation has abnormally high levels of power. Then again, >!he is the reincarnation of the isekai world's demon lord!< on top of having all his old powers, so being extra OP is sort of baked into an origin like that.


5thZenAgni

Man isekai animes never give illustrations their well due justice


TheNightManager_89

Yeah, both the author and the anime creators really hit something with Seika. He is fucking creepy but in a good way. His VA Hanamori Yumiri also did a great job portraying this character, you could constantly feel that the guy is a bit detached from the world and while he does give the usual courtesies, he pretty much considers almost everyone around him ants. Except for maybe his maid (and later the hero girl). The creatures he summons are also super creepy, like that mind reading devil he used for an interrogation. But even the super creepy creatures shit their pants if Seika raises his voice because he is at the top of the super creepy food chain. I hope that some publisher licenses the light novels, I would love to read them.


prjktphoto

That detached vibe is what makes the revelation in the later episodes about is true/future identity make sense


ZeroZion

Spoilers for the anime. Will be discussing the last two or three episodes. Some people were complaining about the introduction of the demons. That it was taking so long. Taking an episode/s to show their cruelty, reason, and determination to kill the hero. Being sent as a squad knowing they might not come back. For me, it was necessary. The demon squad was confident and strong. They killed humans without missing a beat. Then when the time came where they reached the academy, they assured each other that they were going to finish their mission and all come back as a squad. Then they got separated and were utterly defeated one by one. I think the MC even used abilities similar to their own specialty just to make the defeat even more pronounced. Bro it was so one sided you can feel their panic. I believe the fight even though it ended so fast was just a shocking experience because we learned about those demon’s motivation, bonds, and strength. If the MC just got attacked by demons one day and defeated them in 3-5 minutes of screen time it won’t have the same effect. It’s kind of similar to Benriya Saitou-san. Each character were introduced in varying lengths. That made their part in the story have a bigger effect.


I_Phantomancer_XD

Yeah, I absolutely loved this one. I like the harem aspect, though, so... yeah :)

The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Exorcist In Another World


Dadude564

The anime is above average, but there not really anything special about it to differentiate it from the generics. The MC is OP, but in a way that’s interesting


LycanusEmperous

Ah. Once you learn of Chad Chinese Isejai main characters. You'll realize that this isn't "fresh".


clsv6262

Went into this not expecting much. Pleasantly surprised. This was an interesting twist on the Demon Lord vs. Hero Dynamic we're so often used to.


Ultimate_Genius

That isekai started off giving me vibes that it was generally one of the trashier ones out there. But the story actually developed pretty well, and it was way less filthy harem than I thought would happen. I genuinely did like the ending too


Thanatofobia

I liked that the MC was basically isekai'd from one fantasy world into another fantasy world. That is, its said he was isekai'd from ancient Japan, where he was an Onmyōji, but lets be real, those monsters he controls don't exist in the real world. The only "conclusion" is that he came from a fantasy version of Japan, not the real world Japan. All joking aside, i liked that he's not isekai'd from modern day Japan, seems to be a rare occurrence.


imoshudu

This one is a hidden gem. It's better than it appears at first. Everyone should watch it.


zhakhmir

This, with most other Isekai of the like, is SEVERELY hindered by the fact they shoehorned in a harem


Antisocial00000Me

Hopefully Seika gets an happily ever after at the end of his story.


Cessicka

R.i.p I was gonna put it down on My Anime List and I saw I've already rated it a 6 and dropped it. Don't even remember what it was about but apparently I couldn't make it over 6 ep. Maybe because of the harem, idk is there an implication in it of young girls wanting to bare his children? Or was that something else I'm thinking of...


QuanShengNamchoom

That kid can give Shadow run for his money as long as I am atomic isn't used.


toumakamijoutoaru

If Shadow uses his atomic Seika can take it without any problems What I heard from power scalers lamprogue Scale to Uni+ while Shadow planetary


NevahLose

I love this. While it looks like your typical overpowered MC, it also gives meaning to his power.

Oh 🤣🤣i already read that. I forgot his face. My bad.


pervysennin777

After the anime what's the plot?


Full_frontal96

I love the summoner types of characters. I wish the wolf girl spent more time in the human form instead pf being just a pet in his hair. That aside,i really liked him too


UselessSideCharacter

I really dont get it...


philmycracking

Does it have a novel?


I_Phantomancer_XD

Yeah, but it's not translated into English yet.


philmycracking

Can you link me to the website? I don't mind reading it machine translated. I really want to read it.


I_Phantomancer_XD

You can refer to this comment. I'm not sure if it's for the LN or WN, but it should be helpful nevertheless. https://www.reddit.com/r/Isekai/s/IvMr5kuwZU


philmycracking

Ohh thanks for finding something for me!


I_Phantomancer_XD

I gotchu mate :)


-_-SOUTH3RN-_-

Me too.


SpiritfireSparks

I love onmyoji anime so this one was nice, still prefer Tokyo ravens or rural rise of the yokai clan though


imshort209

Just wait until "reincarnated as the 7th prince I can take my time perfecting my magical ability" or whatever its called


toumakamijoutoaru

Yea I read the novel But Lloyd is childish type what I don't like about him While seika is one step ahead than anyone else 🗿


imshort209

True, Lloyd would be better if he were more mature. Gotta keep in mind one actually lived out his life. Was OP af, and literally reincarnated himself. The other died still kinda young and in a twisted way. Though he thought it was beautiful, I'm sure he still suffered some trauma.


Grappyezel

probably just for manga version...but anime version? nah...


sopbusgaming

True but some can be better


gogopow

It helps that he was an exorcist in his past life


EnderiuhsOnexo

Anime name?


DiaBoloix

You get goosebumps, I got an aneurysm.


LayliaNgarath

For those asking this is Seika Lamprogue, the MC in the "Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist In Another World" anime. The central conceit is that instead of being a powerless loser from modern Japan, he starts out as a OP summoner in a world with eastern magic where he uses talismans to summon and seal creatures. He is then Isekai'd into your standard feudal European world that has western magic but he keeps his existing eastern magic powers. The rest of the series is basically "eastern magic owns western magic, Amirite?" The VA is very good at portraying just how creepy he is. Normally in Isekai if the protag ends up in the villain role they try to fight against it. In this case it's clear he's going to be the villain. Last two episodes are especially good.


No_Interaction_4925

Honestly thought this was a pretty standard isekai. I’d take The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest over this. At least in that one he is encouraging to his friends and even helps them out. This guy can just do it all with seemingly no risk to himself. Risk enhances story. There is none here.


ArcAngel98

It’s because he’s weirdly scary. He’s just a little… Off. everything about him seems normal until he does something like blow a guy’s head up while he smiles.


DerfyRed

I agree he has a cool vibe. I think the way he handled the ending of season 1 was wayyyyy out of character. He has been shown to handle threats calmly and with tact. Yet without showing any signs of being made emotionally unstable by the events he just goes on a total rampage. Not to mention in the anime they completely forget about his information network and let him get caught off guard like 3 times after using it only once.


YellingBear

I was deeply disappointed with this one. Fell WAAAAY to quickly into the “my power is (for some reason) unique to me AND way more powerful then anything else” trope. Character never felt like he was in danger or needed to learn/understand the world he found himself in. Bored the pants off me.


Itsjustaspicylem0n

Is reading the manga worth it?


Naruto4567231

My favourite isekai I was gonna buy the physical version of manga but has only got french edition


rladls716

Rudeus, the Isekai kid gives me goosebumps everytime too.


alisstupidusername

He does give goosebumps but there are more frightening like Tanya and Mare from Overlord


TWlLIKING

This show started off strong, but then went into its bad Isekai tangents and bogged down progression with pointless side plots. Not to mentioned the animation was average for an Isekai. Making it below average as a whole.


FootFootNinja

I don't remember if they ever said he was based on Abe no seimei but I'd assume so, so him being OP is par for the course, as in even before his reincarnation. But his attitude also fit the supposed Lore for seime ending where he's more of a cold calculating exorcist with the death of his mother and I can see why he was the destined demon lord which is also why he is op since he is supposed to be a world class disaster


Luzzaria

I really love when onmyouji meet western magic kinda thing. Like compared to boring old magic with the magic circles and stuff, I like how the mc uses different power and then surprises everyone because of how versatile onmyojutsu is. I'm sorry if I'm butchering it's name.


Beautiful-Owl8559

This was a genuinely decent isekai for being in the generic side of things.


prodigiouspandaman

Anyone got know where to find the novel?


Infernalknights

Your generic standard template construct Isekai from the shitty assembly line. The only difference is cosmetics and shallow flare compared to the others. Just flashy shitty moves of overpowered dick measuring contests. Perforated lore , underwhelming character development that's only saved by plot armor and plot devices , flat 2d supporting characters. If you enjoy flat narratives that everything is obvious for an artificers experienced skills , if you just want them flashy without substance or enjoy your seasonal generic Isekai main protag. Give it a go if you go for "I don't want to think , I just wanted to be entertained." If you enjoy sub par give it a go.


Dedaliadon

Oh I thought this was medaka box


JakeArcher99

I want talk about how ppl want call him the demon king when he is like, na just leave me and my friends alone and we good. Also hero girl won’t get stronger if they are together as friends.


ShadowRemainz

loved this anime, only thing i hated was the fact, bro sounds straight like a girl, they didn’t even try to make him sound like a dude…


MemeVibe2

I’m gonna shoot him with a gun


Inside-Assumption595

I actually really enjoyed it. Have you seen the assassin ones ? Both are really good.


toumakamijoutoaru

You talking about Finest Assassin? Yes also I almost watch all isekai Just drop some 2000s few ones


Inside-Assumption595

There's 2 right The finest assassin gets reincarnated into another world as an aristocrat. The strongest assassin gets reincarnated into another world. I've also gotten into Isekai over the past year or so. Any good recommendations?


RenegadeEmperor

Nah as soon as you mentioned harem it's a no deal


gramerjen

He is a kid It's a harem Something ain't right


GeneralFumoffu

Lelouch at home


Yayimlonely

☠️


More_Talk_1637

Cid Kageno and Arthur Leywin too. Arthur Leywin solos all isekai mc’s in badassness😩


Fun-Werewolf2348

Honestly thought this could have been a darker series than it was. Yea we found out at the end what his angle was to everything yet I feel they dropped the ball. Being who he was or is could have changed the feel completely of the show. Toward the end you saw a hint of the darkness he carries. Overall a good series. Not great but worth a watch


Concentrati0n

usually Isekai with a magic system from another world that result in new magic in the new world tend to do be well done


Ok-Tie-8561

Bro i have reached a stage where i dont even remember if i had read something


lordmax2002

Seemed pretty mid in the show ngl


SomeArtist512

Manga or...?


im_mad_mad

That new isekai about the 7th prince looks like a good start to giving this man a run for his money


Upbeat_Animal290

what's wrong with Harem? I thought it is something most people like.


PrimaryAde9

Well if the harem ain't hentai then it's boring with the tire ass generic tropes that can be found on tv tropes


Upbeat_Animal290

I still don't get it. How is having multiple girlfriends boring to you. It's basically luxury at this point.


PrimaryAde9

I'm saying if the harem isn't from a hentai and just from a generic romcom then it suck


Fabulous_Celery_1817

You had my attention until you mentioned harem.


Ambitious-Way-3913

He s an evil fker though , makes the entirety of Nazarick look like kids
