| I'd say he is more of an odd job man than handyman. Sure handymen do odd jobs, but almost always related to fixing stuff around a house. Locksmithing I wouldn't consider a handyman job, nor finding lost dogs or taking up trash. Handymen usually fix doors, fix fences, stuff like that. Anyway, this is obviously based on a 4koma. It's not horrible and the onna kishi's crush is cute, but with this format it would go over better as a short show, 3-12 minutes long. A bunch of sketches in a 24 minutes show with no overall plot gets a little tedious |
| Episode 1 Well, that was pretty stupid there. Saitou didn't get much satisfaction being a handyman back in Japan, but here he's treated like a celebrity seeing that he brought all sorts of useful skills and stuff to help out his party. It was okay for what it is, but not something that stands out in a season filled with isekai shows. |
| Well, I'll give it a few episodes to come up with something, but the story and characters aren't really appealing to me so far. So far it's just a gimmick in a standard setting, with not much in the way of plot or humor going for it. |
| I thought that was above average for an isekai. It wasn't hilarious, but the humor made me chuckle pretty consistently and the characters were likeable. It's nice to see the 'senile old mage' character being shown to be consistently a problem. Most of the time those sorts of characters are fine 98% of the time and only have issues when it's convenient for the plot, or when the author suddenly remembers that they're supposed to have a major flaw and throws it in every now and then. The parts where he was in with the pack of undead and wearing the fighter's bikini armor were pretty good. And yeah, locksmithing to that level usually takes a decent amount of specializing from what I know. Also kind of crazy that you could go to a home improvement store in Japan and get lock picking tools. I hope we get some longer form story arcs here and there too. |

| It's alright but the 4 koma origin isn't translating well to a full length show. It's going to get real old over 12 episodes. |
| Episode 2 And Saitou continues to be perfect for this world seeing that he can pick all those treasure chests. Though a number of them are traps, like that one that triggered some metal-eating slime that melts Raelza's armor. Saitou reveals that he was a good student, but had no standout qualities, so being isekaied into a world where he's counted on is a blessing. He nearly bit the dust there, but Raelza had a rare potion that saved his life. Those two sure have an interesting relationship. |
| Better episode, but still weird that we're getting a real 4 koma anime and not a more unified episode. |
 |
| Yeah, this show, the yuri isekai and the MAPPA cooking isekai are arguably the best isekai this season. Some decent character development. I’d ship Saitou and Raelza too. That crazy priest girl is wild lol. |

| That took a weird turn in the middle with the priest and the elf girl... |
| Raelza was much cuter than I expected with her helmet off and her hair down. Cleric is a real freak. |

| Holy shit this episode was pure comedy gold. So much shit was happening, you’ve got a mage who is just a total chad with a giant club, Morlock going to the marriage counselor and talks about his “overflowing mana”, the king scamming his kingdom into believing the hero nonsense with the fake sword pull, the assassin escaping hell just kiss his former target, the crystal ball live chat scene which seems to be a idol drama parody, etc. Seriously more people need to watch this. Saito and the party still continues be awesome. Morlock is absolutely funny especially the dick shaped mushroom scene, Raelza continues to be cute, and Lafa is still the best wingwoman and teaser. And dammit, truck-kun has claimed another victim. At least Saito woke up next Raelza when he got transported. |

| Episode 3 So it was Truck-kun who struck once again that got Saitou isekaied to this world. But what a rough way to land in this world as if dying the way he did wasn't enough, he ends up waking up right beside Raelza in bed. And to see stuff from his original world like live chatting and a Roomba, I get the sense that Saitou wasn't the first person from Japan to land in this world. |
| That HeroTube scene xD So much going on all at once, had to watch it a few times to realize what was "on screen" wasn't just a game of curling. |

| That was certainly the funniest episode so far. That "mushroom" scene was hilarious. |

| This was the last show I expected a full on dick sucking joke from. |
| So the show is just a series of short comedy skits. It seems pretty good at that, but I'm not really interested. I'll pass on the rest. |
| Episode 4 And more adventurers show up and show off their fighting skills. While Raelza is strong, she's at a huge disadvantage against fighters who rely on speed like Lafanpan, and while Saitou is a reliable handyman, he fails sometimes. Light armor Raelza results in a wardrobe malfunction seeing that more than just the bulky armor came off. While this show has some great moments, they are just too random and it feels like one of those shows where seeing it once means I have seen it all. |
| I'm all for Raelza's wardrobe malfunction, she's too damn cute. The loli axe girl, the gay buff dude and the dwarf magician are all definitely subversions of all the tropes you see in fantasys. EDIT: Actually pretty much a large majority of the casts are subversions in some shape or form. |

LouieGrandie said: No clue but again I'm not against seeing her boobas every episode.I noticed they have her boobs popping out every episode. Will this be a running occurrence every episode? |

| Dafuq??? Shit just got real. That was some heavy shit for a show that is seemingly light hearted. |

| Well, that was a turn. |

| Muh... muh light hearted comedy show. Jokes aside, this show is awesome despite the tonal shift. |

paulchaested said: Muh... muh light hearted comedy show. Jokes aside, this show is awesome despite the tonal shift. At first I thought his daughter at the beginning was Raelza....he looked ancient in those flashbacks but had a 4-5 year old daughter? Is he Strom Thurmond? |
| They really dragged out that entire episode zzz |
| It's a stationary pillar. Can't you just, you know, walk away from it? |
| An actual 100 second timer... and that whole scene was actually 100 seconds. I dunno, I've watched so much anime to the point where I've been conditioned to believe these "countdown" scenes in any anime take waaaay longer than it happens. Kinda blown away by that scene actually being 100 seconds. |
| I'm a cultured degenerate. |
| Hopefully now all that shit is out of the way we can get back to what the show is actually good at... |

Kinda blown away by that scene actually being 100 seconds. You mean like Goku powering up for 3 straight 30 minute episodes after saying "just give me 30 seconds" At this point I think they've basically said no one has died. Everyone the assassin killed was revived. The demon king isn't dead. The only person I can think of who has died is Morlock's daughter...and what do you want to bet Raelza just happens to be his real daughter who was somehow revived without his knowledge? I'm sure the assassin won't die either |

Weird part is the blowjob joke was a set up for this whole story arc since the time spell was under the shroom dildo. |
