Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers

When Banaza is pulled from his mundane life in the Royal Capital of Paluma to the war-torn land of Klyrode, he quickly finds out he was never meant to be a hero. Lacking magic, combat skill, and impressive stats, he’s treated like a joke and left stranded on the fringes by a king who wants him gone. Cut off from home and any hope of returning, Banaza scrapes by as an outcast and odd job man. Everything shifts when, after an unlikely mishap, he suddenly gains overwhelming cheat-like powers upon reaching level two, upending expectations and setting the stage for awkward, often funny clashes between his new abilities and his ordinary past.

Released in 2024, the anime was created by Miya Kinojo, Akine Itomachi, and Megumi Shimizu. It features voice performances from Satoshi Hino, Rie Kugimiya, Aya Yamane, Mari Hino, and Yuuki Hirose, and it adapts high-fantasy isekai themes into an action-oriented animated series.

As of mid-2024 there weren’t any major industry awards attached to the show, and no high-profile nominations have been widely reported. Any festival or seasonal recognition has been modest and mainly limited to fan-driven polls.

The series has sparked a modest online following, with fan art and short clips circulating on social platforms. Viewers often share scenes that poke fun at the protagonist’s awkward status change, and discussions tend to center on how the show plays with familiar isekai tropes instead of strictly repeating them.

Critics and viewers have given the show a generally positive response, reflected in a 7.335/10 rating from 85 votes. Reviews highlight the mix of action and humor, and many note the character dynamics that balance power fantasy with an underdog’s perspective. Themes include questions of worth and identity when someone is suddenly given abilities they didn’t earn, handled in a lighter, often comedic tone rather than as heavy drama.
