Review of The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made

On paper, it sounds like a typical Isekai Ecchi Harem anime. Usually these end up pretty trashy and bland, but I found myself enjoying it. MC is the typical loser who gets isekai'd, along with his schoolmates, and becomes the OP hero kind of character, but he doesn't seem as generic or bland as the majority of these characters turn out to be. He is separated from the others and is given an extra, special skill due to the "god"(or whatever force isekai'd them) feeling bad for him and then he essentially develops a harem through mostly happenstance. The other characters are fairly well-developed, apart fromthe other "main" schoolmates who only get a handful of scenes about what's going on with them. I don't even know their names or how to relate to the MC. They seem to be concerned he got separated, but that's about it. I'm not even sure if they were friends or not as the show starts with MC getting bullied and then everyone gets isekai'd.

The fun part of the show consists of the general adventures and scenarios MC runs into trying to survive in the world, as well as developing his harem/friends. I'm so glad he isn't oblivious to the female characters affections and actually reciprocates or at least acknowledges them, which I appreciate since it's so annoying when MC Hero just ignores it or shuts it down yet they still follow him around.

Overall, I feel like the characters are mostly fun with interesting scenarios and things going on. The humor doesn't solely rely on the ecchi crap, which is nice. There are some underdeveloped tertiary characters and plots going in the background, but overall I enjoyed the first season enough to give it a recommendation.
