"Whose ugly duckling are you?" - Some Local GoddessYeah that's right. Despite being out of his control and summoned to a world that is beyond him, Makoto is rejected the Goddess of the world upon arrival. He's deemed too ugly and a stain on the Goddess' beautiful world and gets sent to the edges of world with the ability to communicate in monster languages, not human. You know, this is probably one of my favourite aspects of this show.

We see the protag get rejected for a ridiculous and petty reason then sent to a barren wasteland with only monster speech. Of course this would later begin Makoto's immense power grind for his disdain of the Goddess and to live a peaceful life, but that's for another day.
I can't be the only one who enjoys OP MCs only to have my enjoyment ruin by their lack of intelligence or character. Makoto however, really is a character written to be enjoyed by the reader or in this case the viewer. He isn't dumbed-down for the sake of missing the obvious for plot reasons. I respect that. He is able to think logically and act on it. He has raw emotions that the anime has done a pleasant job at demonstrating.

And you know, I believe the biggest thing when it comes to anime is the enjoyment. Tsukimichi has that. It is pretty simple and flat, yet dynamic and wild. The anime does a great job at balancing out which ones to showcase and when. To top it off, he's crazy OP yet his power is contained for his motives to live in the world despite the Goddess. Love it or hate it, this is one way of creating an OP character without going overboard on showing how OP he is at every opportunity.

#Now let's talk individual scoring
####Recommended to watch anime first before reading individual scores
Yeah I know, I talked in depth about how great the plot was and how much I enjoyed it. However, at the end of the day, the anime does leave some desire for more. The score is high for its usage of unique aspects such as the beauty of the world, being rejected by the Goddess for said lack of beauty, and Makoto's disdain for the Goddess.
Are those elements all truly unique? No. But unique enough in today's seasonal anime that it deserves to be stated. Makoto never forgets about the Goddess. This is something other anime would mention in the beginning then have no relevance till it's critical to have importance. Not here. Not with Makoto. He's constantly on alert to ensure his presence is hidden from the Goddess. With his friends also casting reminders to protect himself from the eyes of the Goddess. I'm really happy they never forget about this as it helps with the enjoyment of the show immensely.

Not all characters are created equally. This is ever so true in Tsuki. Let's talk solely on the main three:

So look, there's plenty of anime out there that wows us as the viewers. This show was that show for me this season. I never thought it would even get an anime after being out for so long and so many other isekai anime coming out without a word about this one. So when it did, I wasn't expect much especially when the studio announced was C2C.
However, thankfully, the studio has done an excellent job at animating emotion, action, and scenery. I'm dumbfounded at how good it is for a studio I hardly hear much from and honestly not a big fan of. There's not much too say as visuals are something you must see for yourself, which you should. It won't blow you away completely, but for a twelve piece seasonal anime, maybe it will!
Nothing blaring that ruptures your ears. Instead we receive great voice acting, beauty background noise, and dramatically boosted SFX sounds. I am not much of an audio person, so take my score with a grain of salt. But I found no real faults with the sound. I do believe they did a great job at making the world feel alive and the music used for displaying emotions are eargasmic.
####Sit back, relax, and enjoy Makoto's chaotic life
What can I say that I haven't already, the show is a treat to your eyes, ears, and brain. I love, just like most people, strong OP characters. Makoto is that. But he's so much more. He's actually a little psychopathe to be honest. I think most people skim his lack of a response at times as nothing important or how zoned in Makoto can be. He has to be crazy, a type of crazy that I can't stop watching to see what happens next and how he will react.
