I I know it's hard to move on from your ex browser but Opera makes it so easy with just a click of a button this button so what are you waiting for download Opera GX by clicking the link in the description and thanks to Opera GX for sponsoring this video isekai is a genre that gets a lot of bad rap historically has been called lazy low effort a cash grab all negative words that I completely agree with isekai to anime fans is like AI Reddit stories to Tik Tok it's cancer and I feel my brain cell is getting Thanos by the second so when I did a poll about a week ago asking my viewers what anime I should make a video on of course they didn't pick the one with the best art the romance one or even the horny ones guys pick gushing over magical girls I want to see him talk about CP actually good job guys instead they chose the wrong way to use healing magic and I actually liked it healing magic is is about this guy called Ken who's not the center of attention these two are kazaki and inukami are the two smartest hottest best of everything in school in fact they stand out so much it has Ken saying buddy I can name like 12 other people who fit that bill on one particularly rainy day Ken walks home with the other two when all of a sudden they start hearing Bells Ken is probably deaf he doesn't hear [ __ ] out of nowhere a magic circle summons around Kazuki and inukami Ken happens to be there all three get transported to every isekai setting ever and this King guy says he summoned two exceptional Heroes to fight in the war against the demons [Music] [Applause] Ken now if it sounds like I'm describing every isekai ever made that's because I am they get their magic mbti tested and we find that inukami has lightning magic kazaki gets light magic and Ken the most forgettable run of of the Mill High School student gets the rarest magic known to man healing magic then he starts pulling his Co out healing magic starts off like literally every other isekai there is nothing special about this first episode matter of fact you can start the second episode right now I basically Spark Notes it for you Ken starts training with a healing master and believe me when this [ __ ] came up it brought a tear to my eye you see normally when an isekai MC gets new powers he's like oh [ __ ] what is this new power I have no idea what it does oh gosh wait this is like video [Music] game hey B nice [Music] guy [Music] you want to [ __ ] no [Laughter] [ __ ] I've heard very much appreciate the time this anime takes to build up the main character it's not much but seeing Ken actually train for an arbitrary amount of time at least tells me that he worked hard for it and so it feels more deserving when he pulls off the gamer [ __ ] like this it's so sad we live in an age where competent writing is considered a good point to make on an anime like don't get me wrong credit to the author you're great but shouldn't most non parody anime be like this bow Rambles of an old man just show me the tits already wait there are no huge tits in this anime this is an isekai right yeah so I don't get why there wouldn't be any you're going to get me in trouble I can't believe I'm actually saying this but this isekai actually has good characters wo Ken you'd think after being all oh I'm Just a Nobody loser no one cares about me would go into a complete 180 once he gets superpowers but no the guy who felt invisible all his life suddenly finds a new purpose as a Healer as a support to the heroes he doesn't really act like one but it's the thought that counts despite having the rarest magic Ken is still humble he still wants to learn and he's still afraid of the unforeseen danger that awaits anyone would there's this scene in episode 2 that really stood out to me Ken realizes that his body adapted well to the healing magic everything's going great he's jacked he's fast physically he's Immaculate but what about mentally sure he's got all these muscles to boot but as a Healer training to carry Boulders means training to carry bodies injured comrades as fast as you can In The Heat Of War can Ken really handle that can he handle the mental pressure that brings who the [ __ ] thinks of this give healing magic to any of the isekai boys and they'll find a to heal their anxiety [ __ ] his depression bro just smile it's introspective moments like these sprinkled throughout that make this show feel more grounded and unlike a stereotypical power fantasy I also like the way they handle the side characters inukami is an obsessive borderline perverted character who will do anything to go on an adventure why because back home she was a sheltered rich kid who had her future set in stone kazaki we haven't seen his backstory yet but it's small stories like these that get you invested into the characters it establishes an emotional connection and gives you a reason to want to like them I would wholeheartedly give healing magic an eight but I don't want to here's why firstly you tell me if this makes sense Ken drinks contaminated river water and gets a stomach ache he heals it fast forward he's fighting a snake who injects Venom into his bloodstream and he's like well jokes on you I learned how to cure stomach aches 5 minutes ago heals the [ __ ] venom out of his system [ __ ] that's like taking Panadol for a headache and saying you can perform brain surgery I get that this is the wrong way to use healing magic but there is no way in hell drinking bad water equates to treating Venom what I'm trying to say is there is no Rhyman reason to Ken's healing magic so it ends up being a flex tape bandage for everything and I don't like that they also have Mana in this world but it conveniently only gets depleted once Ken finishes a fight so my dude can spam heels on infinite but once the fight's over suddenly I'm out suddenly I'm tired I got to go to bed secondly the comedy it's all right there are some jokes that got a chuckle out of me while others left me stone-faced that's just me though I think he'll be fine cuz you watch my videos so you're used to it but I think I'm funny all the time thirdly the animation there's really not much to say because it's as average as average can get nothing about it screams my workers are kept in a dark decrepit dungeon with below minimum wage they're just normal hopefully decently waged adults working in an office that's unfortunate overall this show surprised me in many ways I wouldn't have imagined am I going to start watching isekai because of it no but I think for people who've never watched or are avoiding isekai this is a pretty good show to start on thanks for watching as always I'll see you on the next one
