[DmonHiro] The 8th Son! Are You Kidding Me!! (BD, 720p)

 Ichinomiya Shingo, your average salaryman one day wakes up as Wendlin, the 8th son of a rather poor noble family in another world. Knowing that he can't get back home and that he won't get any money from his family he sets out to study. What he finds is that he has an amazing aptitude for magic. And as luck would have it, he stumbles upon a powerful magician that agrees to teach him how to use his magic. And thus begins Wendlin's adventure that will have him maneuvering through the tough political world he's now in, even though he has no clue about it. I'm make a "stop me if you've heard this one" joke, but this one is a bit different then most isekai series. For one, Wendlin, while quite powerful, is not completely overpowered. He doesn't really have the skill and mindset to be a powerful warrior so he tries to make friends and build a party. Mostly of pretty girls, of course. But this isn't a harem anime, so he only has one real love interest. Also this series focuses much more on the political aspect of the world, and much less on the magical battles. I appreciated that. Wendlin himself gets pretty much strung along the political narrative, with the royal house having big plans for him, his will regardless. Quite a decent show, but don't expect any mind blowing animation here. With the exception the the bizzarely good opening theme nothing really stands out, production wise. Still, I enjoyed it a bit, and you might too. There's no fanservice here, if that's what you're hoping for. It's more of a slice-of-life type of deal. Not even a bathing episode. Don't don't worry. There is still an appearance for something that has been creeping up in a lot of isekai lately: mayonnaise. What the hell is it with isekai anime and mayonnaise? Does Japan have such good mayonnaise that is can calm the hearts of all? Subs by Erai. **Rating: 6/10** **Opening & Preview (Middle-click the image to open video in new tab.
