Karou getting recognition just for being herself.

Not going to lie, it's still kinda hard to take some of the character designs seriously in the show. They look rather cartoony, at least for the female cast. But hey, she seems to have earned the trust of her peers such as Hector. Some of the guys also seemed impressed by her knowledge.

Fran's journey to becoming the mightiest knight waifu truly tugged at my heartstrings.

While her comrades were settling into marriage, she poured her heart into rigorous training and unwavering commitment, resulting in an incredibly sculpted physique. It's almost overwhelming. I couldn't help but chuckle at how that potion from Kaoru miraculously reverted her to a more petite form.

Kaoru seems to have stumbled upon a rather intriguing side venture. A maid cafe intertwined with sage life counsel is undeniably distinctive. Witnessing Kaoru forge new connections with Aimee and Agathe was a delight. Fern seems to be quite taken with her as well. Watch your wording there, buddy! Allan's thoroughly appalled expression was priceless. I suppose Kaoru's guidance is just too effective.

The poor girl is now summoned by royalty. So much for that slow life she desired.

It's great to see Kaoru being successful and settling into the world and it was great to see Fran the knight being able to succeed at being a Knight whilst all her friends were focused on getting married and having families

They went way to hard on the Chibi art style in this. It kind off ruins the anime for me. at least visually. I've read (is still reading as it's released) the manga, but not the the LN, and I like the story, so I'm quite sad, that they went and chose an overly chibi art style for the anime, I mean they made Francette look like an actual child, instead of the young adult, she was supposed to look like. Not to mention that most adults in the show up until now looked like children, in case of the men, children with fake beards.

i think kaoru just played matchmaker by chance to that lady knight and the king's older bro lol and fern formed an unhealthy obsession for kaoru, how will she react when she finds out exactly who fern and his companions really are? hmm...

I sense nice potential from this anime. The manga adaptation is only 49 chapters long but I think last year, they started a new arc under a new mangaka. Judging from the manga, this series is better than how it currently seems. The anime itself is really a nice Sunday Morning anime to watch.

Fern is lucky he is part of the nobility, else FBI might be knocking on his doors soon.

It's kinda disappointing how unnatural Kaoru's chibi movements are in this series, and how it feels like most Chibi-made characters looks the same. It's somehow getting in my nerves how annoyingly unreal and weird the art style is compared to the normal supporting characters which have fluid movements. Most of the time, her art style is not properly animated or doesn't have the "realism" needed to be an "actual" character.

I also don't know why they're skipping a lot of things, and for me, this is going downhill quite badly, and I'm getting worried in terms of natural story progression. It's getting boring, to be frank. It's becoming a chore to watch this episode but that's probably just me, I hope not. I just hope it's just the badly executed moments or is it simply this adaptation is skimming it again faster than ever.

I only read the manga and I'd say it's great, but if I compared it with this, the anime is rather unappreciative of the story.

Time to look forward for another Kaoru episode next week!

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Kaoru is like a golden goose to everyone she meets. This attention is always going to attract trouble! It's still entertaining even if she herself isn't aware of that.

Kaoru finds herself awakened by noble kids who think that she is the goddess Celes: the Kingdom of Balmora's eldest child Hector, sister Eunice and their escort Francette. Telling them to tell her a sad story to set the premise, both noble kids could not do it, but their escort knightess did of a girl who was outgrown by the sword that she carries. It's so sad that Kaoru granted them potion bottles of medicine, and it sounds ludicrious that Francette has to prove it to them that it's no trickery. While the Kingdom of Balmore is surprised at this, Kaoru just made her journey to Aras, the Kingdom of Brancott's city to find things to do.

To the Big Belly Bistro that the kingdom's nobles always frequent to, it's obviously Kaoru's menu as she basically trades advice that would help any business thrive, as well as for the nobles improving the kingdom at the cost of 5 silvers. For the first knight Fernand to chase her up and down, it's with the help of the normal townfolk and fellow waitresses to shield her from him. A potential stalker removed, and an invitation of a summons to the castle, what would be awaitng her there?

A worry-free Isekai life, still not removed from its politics.

@GynderDK I feel like a broken record everywhere I go, the art style is based on the LN illustrations and not the manga.

For example here is that scene regarding the money making dance LN illustration.

@CommanderZx2 You really can't blame them or us or me? if we are fond more of the manga's art styles or not. That's probably one of the things we came to love about the story, and you can't really blame their disappointment for doing so. You said it once, it's enough.

So Kaoru wants to live a normal and peaceful life but when she gives great advice from running a business to taxing a city of course it's going to draw attention. Plus her bringing Japanese flavors and recipes such as omurice, which I laughed at, is also going to bring more attention.

I think that her being summoned to the castle is probably to offer her a job in the royal kitchen or advisory group. Btw, it was nice to see her help those noble kids out with the potions including the knight girl.

@CommanderZx2 Then show me images of the Francette, and the men (the prince/king etc.) of the series from the light novel, as it was those I was mainly talking about. I've found some images that I think is from the LN, and not the manga (not sure), and the art style in the LN is nowhere near as chibi as in the anime. Ofc. Kaoru, and the maids looks like children, that's even true for the manga. Also that little dance is in the manga as well, and it's basically the same.

I would also like to add, that even in the picture you've shown, they are still somehow much less chibi than the anime. Knowing what's to come in this series, I just can't help feel that the chibi style, is a bit unsettling.

You know what I'd like to see in Surviving in another world using potions.........POTIONS!

This is just watch a smol girl do things and don't think too hard or really at all.
Just like saving 10000 gold well probably see barley anything the has to do with the main title and honesty it's boring as hell!

I also never understand making things so specific as hey you can make any potion you can think of and then use zero potions for anything!
I mean how many men have to grab her arm and pull her somewhere before she makes a strength potion?

Well whatever I gotta drop this anime before my IQ drops any further than it already has from watching the first two episodes.

Looks like she's reading Saving 80k Gold by the same author in the OP.

I'm not really feeling this anime so far, despite loving Saving 80k Gold and Mitsuha. I don't really like Kaoru that much yet, I'm actually liking Fran the knight a lot better. I don't think that Fern guy should be able to get away with what he pulled, he tried to drag her away by the wrist, there shouldn't be any coming back from that for his character. By episode 2, Mitsuha was already getting firearms training, and here Kaoru isn't even using her potion making powers despite the 1 month time skip. It's pretty slow going and somewhat uninteresting so far.

Yet again...

"Youngest age of adult"... (ninth grader, 15 yrs old...)

She's still pretty much a kid, even in this other world... almost everyone also thinks so too.

This is what the "Goddess" think her world should be... LOL

.

"I want her, I want that girl"

"she's still a little girl..."

LUL

.

But then again... he's technically a Stalker with how he was acting... not only that, he tried to kidnap Kaoru... who's technically a little girl... (even if in that world she's counted as an adult that can work in stores), so yea...

This Fern dude, in my book is a bad lolicon that do things little girls don't want, and not a good lolicon that respects little girls and give head pats.

Seems they're keeping up with it being a nice chill show, I kinda like that.

That noble is up to no good though, attempting to kidnap and stalk who is still pretty much just a kid.

I look forward to seeing how this show progresses.

OMG this is so stupid! she made a potion to make the guard younger so she's not too old to marry, so she can make one to become older herself if she wants to! she can literally change her physical appeareance whenever and however she wants!
I hate when the hero is that OP but so stupid to even use it.

Also she's really insufferable and egoist but whatever I guess.
She wants to live a quiet life but she's not really trying either...

It’s only episode 2 and Kaoru is out here pretending to be a goddess and giving economical advice lol, not what I expected for a show about potions. And speaking of potions, I guess soy sauce is a potion by this show’s logic, but hey I love soy myself so I love to see it lol. And I’m ngl I wasn’t the biggest fan of Francette getting age regressed as a solution to her problems, like I had a feeling that was what that potion was for (even if it wasn’t even that noticeable when she did shrink lol) but idk, I don’t think her having a trained body and being slightly older was a bad thing, they showed that shot of her body and I was like send her my way lol, it is what it is tho, based on the OP and ED it appears she’s gonna reappear too so I look forward to that.

Also damn, Fernand got a bit handsy with his obsession over Kaoru, I’m glad he ended up realizing he was an asshole before it was too late tho. And lastly we did get the OP and ED visuals, and they’re both nice but I’m kinda surprised most of the OP is of Kaoru’s previous life, interesting choice.
