The amount of anime that has a score higher than 7/10 is astonishing. It's like people don't even know what those numbers mean anymore. Isekai Nonbiri Nouka sits at a comfortable 7.52 as of the time of writing this review, so it should be considered a good anime right? No, it's very bad, but that's for later. Score on MAL is being a joke for a very long time, it's more of a popularity contest, than an actual rating. So while something like Bleach or Solo Leveling are being one of the highest-rated pieces of media out here, I can somehow understand it. People don't tend to think critically about something they like, and a lot of those manga/anime are made to trap their audience in a mindset that makes them think they are better than they actually are. Be it with good art, a plot that seems interesting at first glance but ultimately goes nowhere, or drama between characters that makes it engaging to follow until you stop and start to think about how God damn stupid it is. So, why does this anime, Isekai Nonbiri Nouka, enrage me so much? Because it's utterly shit while having a high rating.

It lacks a good art style. Animation is so basic, that it doesn't fall far from being a slideshow. Every object in the background looks like a copy-paste of something made in paint by a ten-year-old. There is no tension between the main characters. No drama that would make it interesting to follow. Writing is poor which makes the conversations boring and unpleasant to listen to. There are no intriguing moments here, no absorbing story, and nothing exciting. It's almost fascinating how bland and unimaginative this show is, and how a lot of people think of it as something relatively good.

And the brainless plot in which the MC is being given a second life, thanks to his previous one being a horrible and miserable experience. So, what happened to him? No one knows. He was betrayed, and fall sick. That's literally everything the show tells its audience. It doesn't even sound all that bad, people are dying and living a worse life than that all the time, so why he is the one chosen?

As a new profession, he chooses farming. At first, it sounded intriguing. Having a main character who struggles with his new life as a farmer. Applying things he knows from his previous life to the new one, learning more about agriculture, and so on. In short, farming version of the Ascendance of a Bookworm. But no. It's easy to realize what the show actually is about in the first minutes of it. He wants to live as a farmer because of an idol farming show he watched in a hospital bed. Like, what? Then he gets a magic farming tool, so he can spawn any primitive enough tool (I assume it needs to be functional without electricity), and doesn't get tired while using it. Oh, and he can literally create seeds out of the air for any plant he can think of. This show is a spit on the face to any actual farmer and this way of life.

Not to mention women showing up naked in the forest he lives in. Oh, and they don't give a shit about the outside world and their lives there. All that matters now is the MC and agreeing to live with him after spending one day on his farm, because FUCK LOGIC.

Garbage show, I don't recommend it.
