So What's Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin?
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Meet Akira Yagami, the kind of guy who always puts everyone else first, a pushover office worker whose habit of self-sacrifice finally gets him killed. he dives in front of a car to save a kid and wakes up in a fantasy world as a goblin. Not a cool, evolved, named-character goblin. A bottom-of-the-food-chain, cannon-fodder goblin with a biological expiration date of seven days. That's the hook that makes this one interesting. Most isekai give you all the time in the world to figure things out. Akira gets a week before his body just shuts down, so every decision carries real weight from the jump. The survival tension is constant: he's dodging predators, figuring out his cheat skills, and trying to crack the curse on his species' lifespan, all while stubbornly refusing to abandon the weaker goblins around him. It's that mix of ticking-clock urgency and genuine empathy that gives it a different feel from similar setups. If you liked the monster-POV progression of Re:Monster or the "reincarnated as the weakest creature" energy of So I'm a Spider, So What?, this is in that lane but with a much tighter survival framework. There's also a bit of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime in how Akira builds up a community around him, except the stakes here feel way more immediate. It's a seinen adaptation from a web manga, animated by Studio Bakkka, and it plays the zero-to-hero arc with a genuine sense of danger underneath.

Karen swapping into that new armor just to keep Akira's eyes off the elves is exactly the kind of petty I respect. Girl saw the competition and went straight to work
I could not stop smiling at Karen telling Akira that people's faces are like mirrors. He spends the whole episode scheming and then she just gently points at Chloe laughing by the fire and it lands harder than any speech could
The way Albert just steps upwind when Eirene tries her thing on him was such a quiet flex. Two people playing chess and neither one blinking. That little aside was sharper than the whole treaty talk
That flower field scene with the sisters got me more than I expected. After all the stuff they went through Eunomia just wanted to see her sister smile again
Using pissed off wives as economic pressure is the funniest and smartest thing Akira has done so far. Corporate survival instincts beat swords every single time
Branding their foreheads instead of killing them was smarter than I expected from this show. A high rank adventurer walking around town with that mark has to live with it forever
I could not stop grinning when the town's women started complaining about missing Echigoya goods. That is the whole plan working. A salaryman knows domestic pressure better than any spell
That repeat adventurer coming back for revenge was decent but he folded so fast it barely registered as a fight. Still nice to see Mia soften a little after it
Akira getting flustered by Eirene leaning in while being a 29 year old former office worker is a little silly but the consent angle with his skill actually kind of justifies it. Dude probably worried his own stats are doing the seducing
Depriving the whole town of the clothes and letting the wives do the fighting for him is the funniest thing this show has pulled off yet. Somebody in the writer's room understood bureaucracy better than most isekai writers
Some people want Akira to start smashing things with his 300 skills and it shows. The man is playing the long game because drawing everyone's attention at once is a losing move
Eirene quietly trying to poison Albert and him just stepping upwind was cold. She got read instantly and you can tell these two are going to clash again
You can see the shape of the village turning into something bigger here. Goblins dying every seven days while Akira and the elves stay put means the same few faces ruling over generations of short lives and the show just quietly lets that sit there
I get that elves live for centuries but Eunomia acting like a middle schooler about her sister talking to a boy kinda pulled me out of it. Feels like they wrote a normal teen and slapped elf ears on her
Eunomia sprinting in to apologize only to see her sister draped over Akira and screaming beastly goblin is the funniest this show has been
Tug
good start. good storyline. good animation; everything looks perfect. kinda remind me of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime anime though..
Quite the dramatic episode this time. I really wish Akira figures out how to counter the prince's skill. His reaction to his tailors assault was brilliant while almost backfiring he adjusted it to play out in his favor, wel thanks to karen. The end after the credits gave me hope for the next ep though, are we gonna see Akira Tame a dragon?
This was quite the eventful episode. First off there's the way Akira handles the humans comming to defeat him. He dishes out a brutal punishment or atleast brutal for the humans living in that world,i had a good laugh about that. Then there's two thing I've noticed that I like. 1 you can se the village development picking up with the bathhouse for instance. Then 2, you finally see Akira actually building his harem and that includes karren. Who actually got visibly jealous. And there's the elves... But Bu the looks of things it may be a while before we see anything happening there, since Akira is a bit of a coward when it comes to romance/ his lust. All and all a great episode. I can't wait for the rest to unfold.
Hhm. So we finally have a potential bad guy the prince that defeated the demon lord. But I think his assessment of his chance to defeat Akira I a bit premature, considering all the skills akrira posseses. Not to mention all the allies he's gathering to him. But the prince's plan to make akrira the new demon lord is quite disturbing for me. Can't help but wonder how that's gonna play out.
