Review of CHOYOYU!: High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World!

"it's not perfect, i didn't expect it to be. it's ok. it's not bad, but not great. it'll pass into the wind if you let it. you can hate it and move on or you can like it and move on. it's no ones favorite show, but there's a little bit of something here to enjoy with the proper expectations." everyone knows we've been over saturated with isekai stories. this one won't blow you away. fortunate enough to discover this one the very day of its 12 episode run. my enjoyment of this show comes from the fantasy of being absurdly over leveled in an underleveled world, it's reflection on what makes a society, its value of individual liberty, the casts specialized skill sets, and their interesting processes of progressing towards their collective goal being to conquer the feudal empire. there's cute outfits, nice facial design, a hell of a lot of tropes, exposition and world building i don't care to remember, and mayonnaise.

characters are mostly all guilty of being tropes, though [didn't bother learning their names] they're not entirely flaccid and shallow as I expected them to be.
* pink haired shinobu showcases valuable merit to their team as a recon scout with tact that surprised me since she says "nin-nin" as if she were a 5 year old.
*twink magician plays his role as an illusionist well enough to persuade masses to accept regime change, but he's also 50% femboy service.
*bushi girl is a superhuman who can crush balls [ lol ].
*ringo the midget...her scientific prowess and skill is on ludicrous levels that remind me that none of this would ever be easy, despite the title of the show. after watching dr. stone i can't help but hate this character a bit because she's pulling technological feats out of her ass with little time or material constraints.
*merchant was cool. a reason why this show kept me interested was because it mused with what gives people power within a society and his run pursued this tangent. his demi-human slave girl was a pain to watch. i swear, there better not be any of you who thought *Roo was cute, she's disgusting pedo bait.
*doctor was absent from most of the show, but she lobotomized a guy who wanted to get dying children addicted to drugs so that was something.
*big tittied elf mage girl was trope city.
*teenage minister of japan...what can i say? he's the vehicle for the ideological conflict, ethical relativism, the show plays with. he's proven that he's not in it for selfish power, he bears the sacrifices necessary to enact change, he's in it for individual liberty, which is awesome. 'merica.

artwork is standard for a throw away show of 2019, meaning it looks good despite intense animation. character aesthetics [faces, cloths] are appealing to me. intro and ost are nothing special but the quality of production is standard, meaning it's squeeky clean even if it's not entirely out of this world.

i'll watch a second run. i think they could have ended it all with "gods thunderbolt" but i guess magic is still powerful. wasn't there supposed to be some dragon they have to defeat? they dropped the foreshadowing early and didn't pick it back up.

it's not perfect, i didn't expect it to be. it's ok, i liked it. it's not bad, but not great. it'll pass into the wind if you let it. you can hate it and move on or you can like it and move on. it's no ones favorite show, but there's a little bit of something here to enjoy with the proper expectations.
