To be honest, I am really enjoying this show out of all the ones that are out in this season, even with shows that I follow like Azur Lane, Oresuki etc etc. The reason would be that this show is very very easy to pick up, especially if you're having a bad day or just went through some tough time at work or school, as what an anime should be, a peace of mind and a break from everyday life.
The show is very light hearted and features an isekai element, a form of escapism that everyone would desire, and with a very happy vibe that resonates throughout the show. We see the OP of the anime where it shows the characters would spend good times with each other and mishaps along the way but would still be in a positive attitude.
Despite being an isekai, whilst the many other isekais already here these past few seasons, this one sets itself apart for having a show that has it's light hearted and comical moments but does not stop itself from implicating seriousness in the events that takes place and how the characters react to such serious situations around them.
It's a light comedy show yes, but it pulls you in it's realism through the seriousness of the situation it's set in.
I understand that most light novel readers said it's a butcher of the souce material, well, of course it is! If you've only got 12episodes of a whole series of books, it would definitely have some cuts here and there. In that stand point, I don't think its fair to judge the anime itself by how much source material was cut from the source material. The novel is the novel, the anime is the anime. It might not be what you'd expect, but at least you got to see it animated and they did their best to satisfy us fans. I'd take it as effort and look at what they did good in their work!
If you're ever looking for an Isekai that will let you run from your own world and into a more vibrant and joyful one, but doesn't dull your palette with repititive and constant mindless jokes, this show would be for you. It's sometimes unsuspecting yet realistic situations would pull you in!
Try the first episode! I hope you'll enjoy it!
