As a Reincarnated Aristocrat I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the New World - Season 1

What are your strengths and weaknesses? This show earns its first points for making the main character a pretty average (well, maybe slightly above average) young boy, and the creators fully acknowledge and work with this (for instance, when Ars "wasn't ready yet"). His ability to see everyone's stats, their strengths, and weaknesses is pretty intriguing. More points for making his skill limited. He sees numbers but doesn’t know the motivations behind them, making the story more interesting. The hero doesn’t need to defeat everyone; he needs to persuade the capable ones to join him. From how the story is shaping up, I hope it’ll also focus on identifying and exploiting the enemy's weaknesses. We've already dealt with ally weaknesses, so it seems like the next logical step in a narrative all about human strengths and weaknesses. Maybe I'm wrong, and I’ll be disappointed in the next season (which is already confirmed), but for now, I'm cautiously optimistic. I’m also curious about how much of a role war strategy will play since the tricks used during the mock battle in the last two episodes were quite entertaining. I like some of the characters and look forward to learning more about them. The animation was decent, and the music, especially in the last episode, was pretty good. As for weaknesses, the worldbuilding didn’t really captivate me, and the overall conflict and power dynamics weren't that gripping yet. Despite this, it’s a pleasant surprise, and I’ll definitely check out the second season. 6.9/10 (06/23/2024)
