The 8th son?
xzas-8990223 July 2022
Honestly, I don't understand how anything in this anime relates to reincarnation. Occasionally you see the main character list for food from his homeland...but that's all. I feel like the anime could have been much better if it wasn't rushed and if they just left the part of reincarnation out completely.

Watchable
jennahobbs30 May 2022
If you were to ask me if it were more than simply watchable? No. I definitely enjoyed the first half of the season, but everything after that just seemed...forced? Predictable? Lazy? All of the above? Yes. It's definitely worth a watch if you're bored and have a few hours to kill though. However, it's definitely not something I'd watch again either.

Good series?? Are you kidding me??
ashomkarp25 September 2020
What the hell?? Is this a good series?? I don't think this is good series, I have watched many worst series and this is also one of them, there's no proper story, and there's a poor "royal" family fighting for land, is that all?? I thought there might be some concept or story about something like in other best isekai genre series like "that day I got reincarnated as a slime", "rising of the shield hero" it's better to watch some non isekai boring series rather than this(it's a personal review I really didn't like it)

I really enjoyed this anime!

Its a good anime series, plenty of thought process involved in the scenes. A nice watch for anyone.

There's also many diverse characters in the anime, although the pacing is rather quick its very digestible and worthy of binge watching in 4.5 hours :)

Lackluster
mayank098762 August 2020
The anime starts on a promising note but doesn't have anything which will keep you hooked on, everything seems mediocre after a great first episode, it felt they just made the anime for the hack of it without putting any effort, be it the story, anime or music, everything feels lame. The main issue is the condensing of the story, instead of giving time in developing arcs and characters, the story-line is rushed over. A wasted opportunity.

Best animation
a-143453 July 2020
It is a wonderful isekai series. I will recommend everyone to watch it. In my view it doesn't contain any spoiler. In this series, MC helps people of territory and his closer relatives. It also inspires to respect everyone irrespective of ranks. In last episodes, you see some conspiracies. They are not much and negligible.

Good watch for insomniacs
madplayer-5552817 October 2021
Boring story, boring characters, boring animation, boring soundtrack, really boring dialogue, boring action and boring everything.

This anime is good to watch if you're trying to fall asleep.

This is a good show don't listen to the bad reviews
bdnahian19 July 2021
This show is quite good from what I've seen. I am actually a huge fan of isekai series. So,I thought of checking it out because some peolple suggested and I am pleased. So don't be bothered by the reviews and give it a shot.

Interesting premise with a lackluster delivery.
dameon_green10 September 2020
Loved the idea of a Isekai with the protagonist who actually had to struggle, however "8th Son" failed to deliver even on that.

Inside the first couple episodes he's blessed with godly powers and by the fourth has the start of his harem which made it clear this was going to be the typical trope filled anime.

Dialog is flat (Sub & Dub), characters are not interesting enough to invest in emotionally, the animation though consistent feels empty and lacking "flair".

The final story arc could have brought something interesting back into a disappointing entry into the Isekai genre, but even that ultimately failed as well.

It's not "bad", just lacking character and boring.

Pros:
  • English Dubbing.
  • Consistent animation.
  • Completed season with closure.


Cons:
  • Uninteresting characters.
  • Flat Dialog.
  • "Empty" feeling animation.
  • Predictable and uninspired.

Boring and no depth, lacks emotional depth on characters
dalvinmulindwa26 February 2022
Unrealistic over powered main character. This show does not connect with the view on an emotional level, no excitement , you can't even feel sad. It is just rushed.
