ANN's version of the synopsis:

Quote:

The original story begins when a powerful wizard and sage, who has saved his world from calamity many times, comes upon a baby whom he adopts and names Shin. The baby is actually a man from our world reincarnated into the sage's world. The sage raises Shin, separated from the rest of society, and teaches him in the ways of magic. It is only when Shin turns 15 years old and sets out on his own journey that the sage remembers that he forgot to teach Shin the common sense and ways of the world. And so, with no experience at all in interpersonal communication and common society, Shin goes the capital of the Alsheid Kingdom to enroll in the capital's magic academy.

Main website listing says Kenja might only get 3 BD releases.
http://kenja-no-mago.jp/bd/

Suspicion is it might be only 12 eps in total; 4 eps per BD.

It was highly doubtfull that they'll go for 2-core. I am fine with it. It is just enough to adapt 3 volumes of novels. I only read 2 volumes yet, but I think 4 eps per volume is ideal pace here.

First ep. was not bad. Thay ebded a bit further than I though, but it is fine. Let's hope next ep. they'll fon't cut a hilarios scene with Shins thioughts during the entrance exam.

Lukes YGO & WS on YT · 2019-04-10, 15:04

First episode was a lot of fun.

Definitely something I will continue to watch.

Such an op character, will be interesting watching his life in the capital having no knowledge of anything except magic.

Did he already find his future wife?

Chosen_Hero · 2019-04-10, 16:20

Why the fuck is he dressed like a male stripper?

You got to do what you got to do to make ends meet.

zztop · 2019-04-10, 21:35

Read some of the WN and manga.
Expect this to be more of a fun OP series in the vein of Tensei Slime, or Knights & Magic.

rladls2121 · 2019-04-10, 23:11

Kind of messed up situation though.
Not only Shin doesn't remember his real parents all the way back in Japan, he doesn't even remember his "other" real parents that are murdered in this "Isekai" world.

As long as there aren't any double-standards I don't really see any issue with it.

I'm expecting all sorts of comedic shenanigans based on precedent in ep1.

AntonKutovoi · 2019-04-10, 23:27

Is there even a point for making this an isekai? It looks like it would be better as straight up fantasy.

Although this anime did not last 2 minutes, at least it has given me a chuckle. claps __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
