In a Different World with a Smartphone. (Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni.)
Production Reed | Yanase, Takeyuki | ... | Light Novel | Adventure, Harem, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy | July 11, 2017
Touya Mochizuki was accidentally killed, and as an apology, God allows him to be reborn in a fantasy world and will grant him any one wish he desires. And so, Touya chooses to keep his smartphone in the next world. In his second chance at life, he befriends many important figures and comes across the world's secret. He inherits the legacy of an ancient civilization and travels around nonchalantly while possessing powers that rival this world's kings.

No wonder that one publisher banned this premise. So lazy.

Seconding that Castlevania is pretty good and worth a watch. It's pretty obviously just like, the first part of a larger story, but it's well-animated and it's all in all better than expected. I'm not exactly chomping at the bit for the next chapter in the story, but I'll definitely watch when the next season comes out and I'm interested to see what else they do with their original animated stuff.

OK, finished watching Castlevania. Ryotaro Okiayu as Trevor was a great casting choice. And while the series is far from perfect, it's pretty good, and as good a "serious" cartoon based on Castlevania as we're likely to get. Here's hoping the 2nd season that'll come next year does right by these episodes. That scene with the Bishop guy getting devoured was much more effective than I thought it'd be. Sometimes not showing is very effective. :stare:

I also thought that scene where some townsperson is trying to take down a length of intestine that a demon had apparently wrapped between poles as a garland was oddly funny. Just poking at it with a stick or something, like he's cleaning away ordinary trash. But yeah, the scene where the Bishop died could have been so bad given how heavy-handed the show was at times with regards to the church, but it was surprisingly one of the best scenes.
