Teogonia

In the harsh region known as the borderlands, humans must fight an endless battle against demi-human creatures that come at them relentlessly, intent on taking their land and their gods. A young boy named Kai, fighting to defend his village, sustains a life-threatening injury that causes him to regain memories from a past life. If you're not a guardian bearer, it's like you're playing life on hard mode... Kai's newfound knowledge gives him a new sense of the unfair "rule set" that governs the world around him. One thing is clear: For those without a god to serve as their guardian, life is a constant struggle for survival. Thus begins the epic tale of a young boy's ascent into a vast world filled with magic, bloodshed, and mystery.

Preliminary (6/? eps)

The story is somewhat original: land gods living tied to geographical locations and providing the area with blessings = stuff grows more easily = more food. Then there are crest-bearers of said land gods who get special powers based on how powerful their land god is. Destorying / eating another crest-bearer strenghtens yourself. So the crest-bearers become some kind of protectors of certain areas where their species / people live.

The characters are interesting enough though the "evil human" character feels a bit generic. I like the art style and animation is good enough. It's entertaining and one of the better animes of the season.

I think people get way to caught up in animation quality and rate anime accordingly. I think it has caused the fanbase to kill some anime that really didn't deserve it. I'm big into worldbuilding, storytelling, and fun action. This has that.

It's not exactly my style of fantasy, but it's growing on me. Some of it is just weird and misplaced. Like the whole god stone thing. Just strange. But it's not bad, just different, takes some getting used to. The creatures are a bit bland as well. Not a huge deal but I'm not getting any relatable villain type of vibes from it. Just ... plain evil orcs and monkeys type of deal. However, there is a greater "god" driving force that may become intriguing eventually.

The storytelling on a micro level is kind of jumpy. It doesn't always flow well. On the grander scale, it's intriguing.

So far I'd say if you like a good adventure type of story, world-building and action, you should watch this. If you are an animation snob, you should probably stay away. It's not awful animation but it's not at modern standards.

BTW I hate the whole isekai conversation. Who cares at this point? It's just a jumping-off point for these stories. This one in particular has been very minor with its isekai hook if that's something that bothers you. You hardly know it's an isekai if not for some minor conversations that occur.

This anime has unique character designs that are nice to look at, and a narrative structure that spends most of its time bluntly spelling out the rules of the isekai world it’s trying to establish. If you like listening to world-building exposition that doesn’t flow as natural dialogue and clearly exists solely for the benefit of informing the viewer, then this show might be for you.

At its core is this is a basic overpowered protagonist power-fantasy with a fantasy world that has some novel concepts. I prefer my fantasy worlds to exist as backgrounds for interesting characters, and to learn about these worlds organically ... through observing how the characters interact with it.

In this show however, much of the world is taught to the audience through stilted dialogue with comparisons to the modern world we know. The dialogue is unnatural because characters that live in this world should know the world they live in, not talk about it as if they are learning and establishing the rules of the world.

For instance, you wouldn’t expect someone in our world to come out of a grocery store and encounter their friend to say: “Hey, I was just using the grocery store where we exchange currency for food.” This anime consists of characters often playing the role of the writer or narrator of the show. This doesn’t work to create a setting that feels real or characters that don’t seem like information delivery vehicles.
