From the beginning, we get to learn that Mitsuha Yamano, our main character, has the ability to transport between worlds at will and at any given time. And from this information she obtained, she plans on saving 80,000 gold (which is equivalent to 2 billion yen) for her retirement where she'll preserve 40,000 gold in each world in case Mitsuha loses the capacity to go back and forth. Now while i wouldn't call the story amazing or anything close, it certainly manages to keep me entertained in every episode. Seeing the different methods she comes up with and the various items of her world she brings to the other world to sell's a pleasant sight. With the mix of fantasy, slice of life, comedy, adventure and even action at times, it brings a nice amount of variety to the table.
As for the characters, the only notable character in this entire series' Mitsuha. Where the enjoyment largely depends whether or not you like her. In my case, i do a lot. Even though she appears to be a cute little child, she's actually shown to be an intelligent, calm and a rational person. She's also good at acting and can even be cunning at times. I appreciate how Mitsuha isn't some one dimensional character or how she isn't those kind of self-insert protagonists we see very often within this theme. On the contrary, the rest of the cast have nothing to write home about. Some people may call them to be unremarkable and bland and while i wouldn't necessarily disagree with that, it doesn't take out the overall entertainment we get from this anime. As long as you like Mitsiha's antics, you will most definitely enjoy it.
I admit however, that the animation and music are pretty average, which can be considered barely passable. The former being plain and unexceptional which doesn't make it stand out from any other series, whereas the latter are pretty forgettable and underwhelming. There were no soundtracks that wants to make me jam at the music which is a bit unfortunate.
Overall, while this anime's not necessarily outstanding, it certainly is far from being horrible. Its' fresh concept is a nice change of pace we see from the numberous isekai anime in recent years. If you simply want an fun, cozy and joyful anime, then i'd recommend this anime.
