Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time plot summary

The Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time anime series will adapt author Kogitsunemaru and illustrator Hitogome’s original light novel series of the same name. The light novels are released in English by AlphaPolis, which describes the series as follows:

“Not even a hero, Takumi Iruma gets accidentally mixed in with a group of heroes chosen to be summoned to another world. As compensation for the mix-up, a goddess offers him the right to choose any skill he wishes for! Hoping for a peaceful and quiet life that has nothing to do with fighting or going into battle, he chooses a seemingly boring creation skill. However, it turns out "alchemy" is the most powerful skill that allows him to create everything from a holy sword to flying ships! This cheat skill he unexpectedly acquired turns him into a wealthy merchant and makes him undefeatable in battles! A heartwarming adventure story about (possibly) the most powerful alchemist in another world!”

In short, the isekai series will see protagonist Takumi Iruma try and hone his alchemy skill into creating anything he could want. While the description of the original light novels above make Iruma’s life seem to be purely peaceful, he’s sure to get involved in some fights or battles at one point or another.

What to expect from Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time episode 1 (speculative)

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time episode 1 should begin by introducing viewers to protagonist Iruma, explaining why he was chosen to go to a new world and how he got there. Fans should also see him obtain his Alchemy Skill here, possibly offering some explanation as to why it’s viewed as such a boring ability despite what Iruma eventually does with it.

Episode 1 should also introduce some other supporting characters alongside protagonist Iruma. While these supporting characters likely won’t get significant focus, the first episode should at least introduce a few who’ll be mainstays in season 1. The episode should end by confirming the setting of the world Iruma has been summoned into, giving fans an idea of the life he’ll lead.
