Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja: A recommended magical isekai

Release date: January 12, 2022. Based on the light novel She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man, this series (produced by Studio A-CAT in collaboration with Funimation) follows Sakimori Kagami, a veteran VRMMORPG player who wakes up in the body of a female avatar named “Mira” after using an in-game transformation item. Despite some initial criticism of the first episode, reviewers highlight its creativity: according to one review, the anime “is a perfectly acceptable fantasy isekai, a step above others like Leadale.” In short, it combines magic and comedy in an RPG setting and was well received for trying something different.

• Intriguing story: A veteran virtual reality wizard is reincarnated as his own female character, offering an original twist on the isekai genre.
• Charismatic protagonist: Mira/Dunbalf retains the bombastic personality of her original avatar, leading to unusual comedic situations.
• Production: With music by Go Sakabe and direction by Keitarō Motonaga, it maintains smooth animation. The first teaser sparked interest by introducing this fantasy genre plot.
  Kenja no Deshi offers lighthearted fun and adventure, so it is especially recommended for those looking for a fantasy anime with humor and a novel concept in the isekai world.
