(I couldnt find the OP without a bunch of blurring or something over the video)

Premise: Takanashi Sei gets summoned to a fantasy world in need of a prophesized hero. The chosen one is actually another girl summoned at the same time, however, which leaves Sei to find her own path by becoming an herbalist.

The Good: The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent is an isekai with elements of slice-of-life, fantasy action, and romance. I'm obviously not a huge isekai fan, and I'll go into that below, but I still enjoyed a lot of things in this. Sei is a good character. She reacts to being summoned and then ignored with the bewildered indignation the situation deserves. It's fun watching her learn about the world and find a place within it. I'm also a sucker for herbalists and potion crafting, which is the profession she settles on. Something about collecting ingredients and mixing them together is inherently interesting to me. The fact that the surrounding woods have a worsening monster infestation that needs to be cleared out is a good driving conflict.

The Bad: My main problem with this is right in the title. Her magic power is omnipotent. Having infinite power right from the start really cheapens Sei's accomplishments. I also thought the romance in this was pretty hollow. Albert is a chivalrous knight who falls for Sei right away and he's perfect. Basically, this anime has lots of wish fulfillment and power fantasy aspects that weren't my favorite thing.

Overall: The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent is one of the better isekai I've seen. It still falls into a few pitfalls typical in the genre, particularly making the main character way too powerful right away. I just really love potion crafting, and the monster conflict was solid with some decent action scenes. Sei was also a good character, so this anime mostly managed to win me over.
