I came across the manga of this story a while ago, and the "isekai with a twist" genre really stood out to me, but I never really took the time to read it. When I found out it was getting adapted, I decided to check it out. Still, I was worried that this brand new concept would be bad, but I completely changed my mind later on. It was far more interesting then I anticipated. The pacing of the story is very good. It gives you enough time to understand the other characters but doesn't drag it out long enough for you to lose interest in them. The events that happen are
So I give it an 8. Of course, it wasn't the best and there could always be things that would make it better but all in all, it's very good!
This is airing during a tough time, and I appreciate that the company that is making this and other anime that are currently airing (or going to air) are working hard even during a time like this. But because of this, I can't be very critical than I am already. The art and animation are fair. Not so good that it's a masterpiece, and not so bad that it's not enjoyable. The music and voice acting are the same case as the art and animation. I really like the voices they used for the characters, and I think that they fit very well. I really liked the OP, and the rest of the OST is quite good. (But in the end, I'm not very good at reviewing sound and art so I have nothing else to say about them other than they're good I guess)
Just like the story, the characters are very good themselves. I find myself really connecting to them (and by that, I mean really wanting to give them all hugs cause they're all so darn cute!) and it's really enjoyable seeing them interact with each other! The main character actually isn't that bad, and she may even be one of my favorite characters in the show. Which is strange for me, because I barely ever find myself liking a main character that much. I guess that's what the manga/LN readers call "The Bakatrina Affect" (or so I've heard). But in total, the characters are very good and I like them very much!
Now I was debating whether or not to give it a 9 or 10 for enjoyment, so would say a 9.5, but since you can't really do that on MAL, I just rounded it to a 10.
The show is comedic enough to make you chuckle but not entirely funny. It feels more wholesome than most anime of this season and I'm always in a good mood during and after watching it. This show gives me a strange sort of sitcom vibe and I don't know how to explain it other than it's strangely relaxing in away. Again it may have something to do with the fact that it's a brand new concept I've never seen again but it really feels like a breath of fresh air.
This show is honestly very good and far better than I expected! If you're looking for something new that you've never seen before you should really check it out! I might write another review once the show finishes airing but knowing how lazy and forgetful I am, I might not. I hope this review makes you consider checking out this show, and if you don't enjoy it as much as I do, that's ok! In fact, I'd love to hear your opinion on why you think its bad, so you can message me if you'd like. But please consider checking it out. Thank you for reading this!
