In this part of japan, we all have a saying: Whenever something bad happens, we just throw our hands into the sky, and say "Hasa Diga Isekai"

Having a Smartphone? And then what, is the MC gonna charge it with magic? Plug it up his rear end, like Louis CK suggested we did with the DogPhone?

Actually, yes.
And the smartphone is almost completely irrelevant so far (I've only read the first volume), because in addition to the smartphone, the main character also gets super combat abilities and is the best magic user in the whole world.

There are three: Knight's & Magic is part of the isekai subcategory known as isekai tensei, where the protagonist dies in our world (usually by truck) and is reincarnated in a new (fantasy) world.

I think I will continue
watching this twilight world
as long as time flows.
I've been reading the manga, and i totally forgot about the phone.

It ... essentially turns into a fantasy slice of life where he doesn't have to worry about anything and just tries to live and do some research into the world and what happened with some interludes of "oh yeah, things want to fight. Whelp I'm still OP. :shrug:"

It's not great, but there are some moments I'd watch it for.

Even bloody No Game No Life did that better by giving them a smartphone but since they have no internet, they can't google. But since they're obsessive in terms of winning everything, they've downloaded a whole bunch of trivia so they can win at quizzes.

Are there any isekai tensei where the protagonist dies, and is recruited by a higher power to be the truck driver who determines which nebbish shut-in gets to be roadkill, and subsequently save an alternate reality? I feel like there's potential there.

Are there any Isekai where the protagonist really, really doesn't care about this fantasy garbage and just wants the fastest ticket out?

e: Not counting Sword Art Online or any other show where something is actively trying to kill them.

Looking at their Wikipedia page, that might be due to lack of material more than anything else.

I'm gonna be upset if they cut out the freaky stuff though.

Not the most promising sign, then. Hopefully SoL will hold up better then an action-heavy series. They can just save their budget for the last episode when it inexplicably decides to switch to showing the civil war in the Congo, only between Centaurs and Lizardmen.

Cheating Craft and To Be Hero were both solid shows that looked fine to good. Haoliners' overall track record isn't great but doing an adaptation means you have both visual and writing material to draw from. So I'm optimistic.
