This was garbage. Utter garbage. Like they tried so hard to be funny and it was just not funny. Then they add fan service to try and hook you...but it doesn't help. Not a great start to this series imo.

No... not again... I've started... another isekai... and... I'm actually kinda enjoying it....

Reading the synopsis I was kinda unsure about this, but I decided to give it a shot.
I personally really like the interaction between Listarte and Seiya.
It seems I've fallen into the isekai trap again...

for some reason the way she chose the hero makes me angry why Japanese young boy? all country in this world the author really make it Japanese man not just because he is strong (and they like Isekai genre (but there are many countries that like another world to you know)) but the way the goddess chose is disturbing she just chose in piles of papers, not their attitude, story of life, personality she doesn't know the face she chose what the hell? is he the chosen one? and that man is the one who going to protect their land that goddess, that is awful, they portrait the goddess to a human who is irresponsible and a bitch like an attitude

A new decent isekai after a long time. I needed some more comedy isekai like Konosuba and the first episode lived up to my expectations.

"Ohhh the MC was so annoying, hope he gets better"

"The MC's basically got one joke and that's it, might get old"

"Such a boring MC"

Lot of people don't seem to get that Seiya's not the MC here... I wonder if that's why they feel off? Because you can't project yourself onto Seiya like you can pretty much every other Isekai hero, that's not what he's for.

I loved it. I was already finding the manga hilarious, and this definitely delivered as an adaptation. I can see why people might find that the joke could get old (it hasn't for me so far in the manga), but even beyond that the animation, comic timing, voice acting and random references (Terminator and Dr Strange, anyone?) that the anime adds will make it worth watching.

And, yeah, despite the superficial similarities I'm not seeing a lot of Konosuba in this. I think that's just what people are defaulting to as THE standout example of 'Isekai that's actually funny', so the comparison gets made even if it's not all that applicable.

How is this a Konosuba ripoff? Did Konosuba invent comedy and parody in isekai?

Agreed that it's a bit annoying that people mention Shield Hero which has nothing to do with this show.

A pretty cool concept in the opening episode. I liked the isekai parody hints, too/

Well, isekai finally got what it deserved: A hero who actually acts like an MMO player!

He maxes out his stats before going on the first quest, even if it takes a lot of time. Because why not?

He gets all the equipment he might need even if that isn't what a hero in a fairy tale would do.

He looks like an athletic game avatar, which just adds to the fun. An avatar who looks like a hero in a tale, but then goes cautiously grinding.

Suspect everything! Be prepared to kill villagers as they might, possibly, somehow, be something else. It doesn't really matter if they are just NPCs.

RUN AWAY if danger approaches! When you're playing on the hardest mode and could lose your character, that is what you do.

I love it - finally a REAL MMO-style isekai.

I just don't like the title, as it follows this new format of describing an anime to the letter, the better to advertise to potential readers. But other than that, it's a lot of fun. Also interesting to only follow the goddess' perspective, when usually you would discover things together with the hero.

I feel like the source material and gags will get repetitive, but the animation, directing, and voice acting are all fantastic, and definitely made me laugh several times. Will it last, who knows, could these talents have been put to use in better anime? Probably, but I'll still check it out

Holy fuck this is hilarious and I am already sold on everything.

Just for perspective I am aware of my isekai trash status (even to the extent of reading the Japanese raws with difficulty for unfinished WN translations)

But holy shit everything was on point. Genre: isekai which is a hit or miss depending on the viewer but still a decent platform for a comedy. Art style: a little wacky in a Konosuba-ish way. VA: expressionate female lead and sexy-deep male lead. Not to mention the awesome asides that she makes after the muscle fan service. Comedic rhythm: I like the balance between plot progression and joke. Most (but not all) scenes have a joke or at least a tsukkomi which usually would be unbearable but Seiya’s character is properly set up to do ridiculous things that need a tsukkomi.
I can’t guarantee the plot will be fantastic but I honestly don’t care, I could watch this shit all day even if the story went around in circles.

5/10 first ep.

Art was very bland, minus some mildly interesting background work and few good facial expression / chibi comedic cut-aways.

Characters have some potential but very one-note right now. Seiya's cautiousness was getting very slightly tiring even in the first episode which is a terrible sign. Listarte's VA did a good job though.

Humor was hit or miss. I feel like it will stay that way and how much I end up liking the show will come down to the characters.

Heh, that was pretty damn funny. I had a feeling his cautiousness would be perfect for an S-Class world, and it looks like the Demon Lord is just as cautious as the hero is so this is gonna be interesting.

This isekai has potential, I love the comedy genre that presents about a protagonist too cautious with any situation and thing. I didn't stop laughing with the slime scene, hahaha.
This time the White Fox studio brought a decent animation with this anime, unlike Arifureta which is horrible. And MYTH and ROID add another isekai to their OP list.
Definitely, this anime goes to the list.

Ps: The goddess reminds me of Aqua de Konosuba xD.
He would have died of laughter, if the protagonist arrived naked as a terminator 😂.

Oh boy, I'm trying not to set my expectations too high (and I'm failing hard at that), but I think this anime has the potential to rival Konosuba. I absolutely loved the comedy, this first episode alone already made this my most anticipated anime of the season, but that's only until Chihayafuru S3 starts airing.

1. People should not take this seriously this is just comedy.
2. Why no one talk about terminator reference and doctor strange portal reference.
3. Elitist please BEGONE FROM MALLLL.
4. The comedy is basicly you RPG player that using hi powerfull spell to weak mobs in every encounter, in final fantasy dragon quest, golden sun other action RPG ext ext.
5. The comedy also all about skyrim, dark soul player that always over prepare their stuff specially level up and stack 50 or 99 items first before going some dungeon or VS bosses.

Yeah you I mean all of you skyrim player and RPG player that stack max potions and antidote because over catious. This anime Parody about that.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE don't take this anime too seriously just a comedy and enjoy it.

I enjoyed that quite a lot. It was a lot of fun and looked solid. The best part was definitely Aki Toyosaki's performance. It was just great.
I hope the show is able to maintain it's "fun" factor

Also quite delighted how many different "faces" a voice actress can do accurately and outstandingly. That said I can not remember male voice actors doing anything but low pitch/high pitch and simply different voices for different characters, if there is a need. Females are surely giving their all inside the male-dominated industry.
Her performance is definitely the highlight of this comedy-series, do not know how classy it was on paper... But being animated by skillful people (a myriad of creatively done frames and transitions is my evidence) and voiced by someone just as skillful surely boosts the appeal of a well-concepted comedy.

Here, let me help you with that

I got to say that this show was truly unique in its own way. most of the main characters that get sent to a new world are usually trying to start a harem or even thinking that they're the shit or even a pervert but it was surprising to see that the main character was more strict and wanting to do better for himself. The goddess was literally every single last anime fangirl who likes those main characters with a six-pack or even with a nice hairstyle and facial features. but the show was truly entertaining and had me wanting more but the fact that this show just came out made me a little sad. Oh well the good thing about this is that this fall is going to be the battle of Isakai anime.

Please be that one in 12 or something isekais that's actually not utter boring trash - not expecting another Konosuba here but something at least closer to it. 1st ep shows promise, I like the self-awareness & the facial animations. Seiya & Rista's comments can bounce of each other nicely if the execution is handled properly and make for a great duo.

For the ep in particular, given the events of already meeting a top-tier opponent so early on, it makes one wonder if Seiya's cautiousness is not only funny but needed to progress through this world. Also based on what demon-chan said, it'd be hilarious if the demon lord was someone as cautious as our hero :P

I already love this anime.
The MC is a combination of Kazuma's assholeness, and, as someone in a Youtube comment pointed out, a beginner cautious Dark Souls player once they find out how unpredictable the game is.
The goddess's constant distorted expressions reminds me of Aqua, except she's not stupid or an asshole.
