Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu

Mitsuha Yamano could not have had it worse. After failing to enter her university of choice and losing her entire family in an accident, she finds herself plummeting off a cliff due to an especially fragile guardrail. Through what seems to be the only bit of the fortune left in her life, Mitsuha's firm unwillingness to die allows her to be transported to another world, where she ends up surviving.

In this foreign land, Mitsuha wanders around for days before collapsing from exhaustion and being rescued by a little girl named Colette. Not long after, she finds herself in yet another life-threatening situation, and her indomitable will shines once more, granting her an audience with a divine cosmic being. The entity reveals to Mitsuha that she has acquired not only superhuman regeneration but also the ability to transport between worlds at will.

Armed with this new information, Mitsuha brainstorms ways to utilize her newfound power to its full potential. Realizing that she can take goods from Earth and resell them to the other world at a higher price, she resolves to save up eighty thousand gold coins to be able to retire comfortably.

TLDR
This show isn't without its flaws, and if you're not into Isekai this won't convert you. It is, however, fun with a (mostly) likable protagnoist, a slightly different spin and a silly plot that rarely takes itself too seriously.

Further thoughts
Mitsuha is the protagonist. She's a go-getter, likable but somewhat mercenary in her convictions. While there is a fun supporting cast don't expect any found family stuff, despite the premise. She's looking out for herself mostly. This isn't a negative, but it is worth considering if you like the found family stuff.

There's no real world building here and the final arc comes out of no-where. Again, ... these aren't negatives for me but it all leads to a final confrontation which is magnificently stupid. I loved it, but it is the peak of ridiculousness. If you want a deep and compelling story this really isn't the show for you.

Honestly if you want to follow a compelling, but not angelic, protagonist with a few fun side characters this is for you. It is, by no means, a must watch but it's a fun way to kill time if you like your Isekai.

Mixed Feelings

This one is a doozy for me, I like the concept, the execution? Could have been better.


It's bad enough we have this unending pile of Isekai, diluting the genre, it's worse anyone with an isekai fantasy can come up with an interesting concept and completely waste it, the anime is too caught up in the details, there isn't a bigger story, just characters that act in favor of their heroin when she needs them to, they are impressed by salt on food, the bar is really low, and soon enough she becomes this great at everything, so there isn't even a chance she'd be caught ... off guard unprepared, nope, who wants unpredictable plots? Right?


all in all, this is someone's fantasy, so they wrote it, and it's out there, not compelling writing, forgettable as soon as the episode are over, it doesn't stick to any genre well enough to be a good story, it's not funny, it's not thrilling, it's not emotional, it's aimless, and I guess despite my resistance to aimless writing, it'll exist.

this show is so underwhelmingly boring. there is zero to little development in every episode even playing this in the background felt dull, it was like a goddamn ppt show. although the show's concept is quite the refresher compared to the rest of its kind (isekai), that's the only thing it offers, nothing else.

mitsuha aka the female lead aka the only lead aka the only person they want you to focus on, does not provide basic entertainment. she tries to conduct antics, but the execution is so overused it just makes you go: oh, okay. but if you do enjoy a witty, ambitious/imaginative lady (or ... tries to be) just trying to do her own stuff, you could settle.

side characters were made like they're only here to make mitsuha glow and shine. people have random emotion breakouts and it's hard for others to empathize with the story because of how she came to be in this godforsaken world in the first place.

rating:
ok voice-acting, recycled trash op & ed, animation was fine, 0 side characters to like or pay attention to, mitsuha eh, bad-paced storyline

tldr; don't watch unless u wanna sleep (good f-ing night) or enjoy shows providing no emotional value
