The first season of The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub. The series follows Seiichi Hiiragi, a perpetually bullied student who, along with his entire school, is transported to another world. Left behind by his classmates, Seiichi unexpectedly gains immense power and the ability to evolve, setting him on a path to becoming a legendary hero with a growing harem.
Animated by Hotline, the show leans heavily into parody and fan service, a common trait for isekai harem comedies. Its premise offers a twist on the genre by initially stranding the protagonist, only for him to quickly surpass his former tormentors through sheer, often ridiculous, power-ups. The series is a complete 12-episode run, making it a digestible binge for fans of the genre.
While the first season is now fully available, a second season, also animated by Hotline, premiered in Winter 2023, continuing Seiichi's adventures. This initial outing serves as an introduction to its brand of over-the-top fantasy and wish-fulfillment.
