| That has to be up there with some of the worst start to an anime I have ever seen. I wasn't expecting to hear a Sonnenaufgang space odyssey reference... so messy and weird. |
| Bro got laid in first episode. He's already won more in life than 99% of anime MC's. |

Sheol01 said: Too bad they forgot to add the Azalea scene that was apparently in the Manga. Thumbs down for making the story bland, more spice definitely needed. Do not think we will get the manga level of nudity in this show. Nudity but no nipples with likely be a 16+ rating at Crunchyroll, and the show is 14+. |

| well it is a little bit like Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill as well as Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement. but unlike 'glamping' ... seriously that dude didn't cook on a campfire ONCE ... this one and 80k Gold seem to BOTH be all about economics and how 'our' products bought 'online' would work in 'another world'. at least this guy in Online Shopper is mildly curious about how his 'status window' and 'Item Box' works... but this guy doesn't have any MP/HP or ANY of the other 'RPG Menus' or 'Attributes' like strength stamina wisdom charisma etc. he did screw several things up early on though, did he abandon his mountain bike AND those 'wolves' in the woods after hitting them with his slingshot? plus, did he try to open his 'Item Box' and 'capture' any of the 'wolves' alive? perhaps if he had watched Death March in the Parallel World Rhapsody, he would have experimented with putting fire, or a flaming object in his Item Box, or hot items like soup or his curry and seen if time freezes, or what happens inside his Item Box... like can he store a living thing in there? maybe a snail or a bug he found in the woods at first and taken it out of the Item Box perhaps dead? perhaps alive? or otherwise?? his seriously FF backstory bit at the beginning of the 1st episode was different! i expected him to isekai when he collapsed at work... but he got better, moved to the country, became a small-time farmer, and THEN got isekaied! definitely an 'oh shit! my life got better but now i'm in another world!?!' kinda story. :) this one looks fun, i'm going to stick with it! |

I know what you're thinking: this show has been done before, and yes: combine MAPPA's TonDemo Isekai with the 30-year-old adventuring party show, and you'll get novelist Hifumi Asakura's series featuring a 40-year-old Isekai-ed salaryman selling and making money for ends meet.
For the 38-year-old Kenichi Hamada, being in another world means a learning curve to buy and purchase items from the Shangri-La online store to store in his item box, and the buy-and-sell tactic becomes his method of survival until he is being found by a travelling merchant and a songstress, on the way to the town of Dahlia. Though he pays with pure pepper and gets back change that's an amount bigger than he initially thought, trying to establish the world's pneumatics with the help of innkeeper Azalea may not be a breeze, but Kenichi's learning is at least capable.
The items from Kenichi's world are new to most people, and trying to be a merchant first and foremost reaps good rewards for selling clothespins. Even with a guy looking for a sword that comes with expensive costs, and then with beastfolk that got him scared for a moment, business is as per usual. Soon, Kenichi's clothespins are going around like rumors as his standard of living goes up, and the world at large, slowly dressing out in sequence.
Asaka's back for a hard rock OP? Not sure that I like it though...
Decent start, like with most Isekai, but the potential is yet to be seen. Feels like the premiere here is speed-running things though...

| @KANLen09 I can't agree more. We have seen this kind of series already, but let's see how it will be different from the others. However, while I was watching the ending, it seemed a mecha genre was peeking, we will see.. |
 |
| This wasn't on my PTW list but it's surprisingly enjoyable. Damn lucky old man got some unlimited isekai money making powers plus getting some isekai pu$$y on the first episode. |
| This kind of anime/stories don't have super detailed plot or character writing so their enjoyment is restricted to little fanservice here and there and some comedy. So the fact that they heavily censored the already mild naked scene of Azalea tells me that the production either afraid or incompetent . Heavily lowered my expectations even though I enjoyed the source material. |
| Great first episode, probably my favourite show this season so far next to Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte. Love how they compressed the obligatory isekai introduction and how the protagonist has a no nonsense mindset and just gets to problem solving/work immediately. |
| Copy paste of that particular series we saw back then where the guy gets a wolf... but this time, this old man got laid by a teenage girl. Is this another lewd series? Nonetheless, it somehow has an interesting atmosphere. |
| 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. |
| Yeah I also was wondering what happened between the MC and Azalea after he gave her candy and a sketch of herself and apparently she repaid him in bed. On that note he later brought her some fruit so I'm thinking she's the first of a harem he'll put together. Decent start to this series and it does remind me of the Campfire anime except this guy sells modern items for a profit rather than cooking for a big ass wolf. |
| Am I the only one who appreciates this kind of weird isekai of a guy who is sent to another world with an interface where he can buy the elements of his original member? |
| The start made me laugh a lot. 5/5 so far |
 |
| Bro is this the first isekai protagonist to get laid on the first episode? Im shocked more people arent talking about this, theyre never this bold hahahaha I kinda want to keep going just because of that |
Reply to kuroneko99
Isekai anime has come this far. Reincarnation event was explained in a minute without words.
| @kuroneko99 They really said "To hell with a plot. Nobody caress anyways." |
| Not impressed so far, and I doubt it'll impress me in future episodes. It like kind of had me for a bit, but it lost me real quick There's nothing here that's making it stand out from the countless other isekai so far, and if anything it's just taking ideas from those other isekai that I'm tired of. >Some random Japanese dude is isekai'd because they hate life and work >Isekai'd to a fantasy world >The MC has an item box because of course they do >They're going to sell stuff from his world in this fantasy world to make profit Like, why should I care about this? It looks boring. It looks like other shows I've already watched and/or dropped because they were boring and I'm just sick and tired of seeing the same isekai stuff be done for the millionth time. And wasn't this supposed to be ecchi? I swear this was tagged as ecchi a month ago... |

man , they sure were in a hurry to transport him to another world  that start was one hell of a speed run |
| bro sped ran learning to read and write, enrol in the guild, build a business and became profitable all in one episode. crazy work with this series so far |

| Returning to Winter 2025 once again to hit another Isekai, not sure how much longer I’ll keep this Isekai train going but I’m not done yet lol. This was pretty fun, very similar to “Campfire Cooking in Another World” with the whole online shop being available in the Isekai world, but that show was more centered around cooking, this one seems to be more about doing business and our boy Kenichi is certainly making a killing with those clothespins, not the thing I expected to become popular but it makes sense. And did my eyes deceive me, or did Kenichi bang Azalea right after meeting her? Lmao that caught me by surprise, not something you typically see in these kind of shows, I’m guessing Azalea is into dads or something lol. I also wanted to mention how quickly they went through the process of Kenichi getting isekai’d, like that was damn fast lol, but there’s something I like about doing it that way, we’ve been through this time and time again, we know how one gets sent to another world, might as well blast through that and get to the stuff we’re here for. Also, I kinda regretted missing this one this winter because I like this subgenre of Isekais where it’s about a middle aged dude, something about them is more chill than the usual, hopefully Kenichi is a good MC to fit that bill. And wow that OP was wild with the visuals, you’re telling me they get a whole ass car and a mecha version of an excavator eventually? This might be secretly awesome lol, the song by Asaka rocked too, it kinda reminded me of classic anime OPs. |
| Gonna be honest, was expecting it to be awful from the start, so I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't hate the first episode or the MC. Animation is meh, and the editing with weird camera cuts is hilariously awful, but other than that, it has a chill atmosphere, especially when the MC set up his shop in that corner. I'll watch it some more, and I hope they keep the vibe intact. |
| This has happened before. In fact, more than once. However, despite its derivative nature, the art isn't bad. The main character isn't blunt yet. He even got involved with the innkeeper, which is extremely rare for this genre. And the lolis aren't clinging to him yet. The plot moves along at a decent pace. For now, it's not the worst example of the isekai merchant genre. Yes. This can already be considered a separate genre. Over the past couple of years, many anime have been released in which the main character is a merchant rather than an adventurer. Rebirth as a Vending Machine is a typical example. Sasaki and Peeps is variation on the theme. It's time to create new genres. Where is the isekai genre? Isekai trading? Isekai adventure? Isekai life in the village? As I understand it, new genres are currently forming. Simply put, fantasy, ecchi, and harem reflect the presentation style rather than the genre itself. Detective is a genre. However, you can label anything as fantasy. For example, you can label anything from Lord of the Rings to a book about average Joe, a guy who finds himself in another world, as fantasy. Ecchi and harem simply indicate that you should expect boobs and a harem. They're not even genres, but tags, like 18+. Throw out some ideas. Maybe someone will come up with something smart. |

EP 1
Honestly all things considered a pretty decent first ep
Better than expected
About the only downside is that we dont really get to see much of the other characters
Otherwise its fine
The real question is how the rest of the elements (mainly monsters) are going to be handled
And how it will keep things interesting
Seems like its listed for 13 eps?
And the characters really that we havent seen yet

| @CocoaGalaxy So that you don't complain about taxes in Japan and understand that even in Isekai you can't escape them. Even in the magical geospatial store, Japanese VAT and compliance with Japanese laws and regulations still apply. |
| I get that campfire cooking was popular, and that eventually something would rip it off even a tiny bit, but...wow. At least the dude has a lil bit of game with the ladies, but ffs...the valuations of items in this show, especially ones he sells makes NO SENSE!!!...*sighs Suspencion of disbelief has been suspended lol ffs... |
