First Thoughts
So, I just watched the first few episodes of Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time, and I have to say—it’s got my attention! It’s another isekai, but instead of the usual overpowered swordfighter or magician, we get an alchemist as the main character, which is a nice change. The story jumps straight into the action, showing how the protagonist quickly figures out how to use alchemy in their new world. It’s got that classic “let’s build something amazing” vibe, and I’m all for it.
Visuals and Animation
Visually, the anime looks pretty good! The magic effects, especially the alchemy scenes, are really well done, making the whole process feel exciting. The character designs are decent—nothing groundbreaking, but they fit the fantasy setting well. Some background scenes feel a little plain, but overall, the animation is smooth and gets the job done.
Characters and World-Building
The main character is likable and smart, which makes it easy to root for them. The supporting cast seems interesting, but a few of them feel a bit like the usual fantasy sidekick types. That said, the world-building is pretty cool. The way alchemy is integrated into daily life makes the setting feel alive, and I hope they dive deeper into it as the story progresses.
Sound and Music
The music really adds to the fantasy feel. The orchestral tracks fit the world perfectly, and the opening and ending songs are catchy. Voice acting is solid too, with the main character’s voice actor bringing a good balance of curiosity and confidence.
How Does It Compare?
After checking out what others are saying, it looks like the general reaction is pretty positive. Major anime sources agree that the animation and premise are strong, though there aren’t any official scores yet. Since the anime is still new, opinions might change as more episodes drop, but for now, it seems like a solid start!
