This anime was a risk for me because it looked like one of the typical "isekai" comedy animes. I was gravely mistaken! There was something that pushed me to finally watch this and I haven't felt the need to stop (simulcast so I have to wait!).

The mix media style of animation (the 'bird head' colour looks painted or coloured in by hand, but the lines look solid and digitally done) felt nostalgic yet innovative at the same time. It reminds me of old school shounen anime but revolutionized! Big recommendation for anyone who wishes to start a shounen adventure anime that has sharp, light-hearted comedy ... but also has a serious, overaching story that runs in the background. It's not an in-your-face story, but it feels epic to see that story beat ramp up after arcs of daring action/fights.

The pacing is great too. It doesn't feel like there are too many fight scenes, but it's not as if there is a big info dump in the middle of an episode. It gives off a very mysterious vibe to both the characters in the anime and to us the viewers when it comes to the core of the game itself. Can't praise this anime enough!
