Isekais coming in thick and fast. We all know the drill, each and every season there is bound to be one that'll fall flat on it's face, but then there will be one that will be enjoyed and liked for it's good characterization, or just general down right fun. Now where does this one rank? Let me explain!
Story and characters: 8
To best describe the characters, would be quirky. Which adds so much to these shows, as if they seemingly knew what they were doing when they decided on making this show. As if it were a generic hero, or least generic ways to get where one needs to be. Then it wouldn't be enjoyable as is. But what really helps with this story's presentation, and certain characters, is the vibe AROUND them. To explain, you have the main character in Usato, who can be seen as generic and common. But then you pair him with someone that has a great character in Rose, then you've got a better match, as Rose brings much more out of Usato, which makes it more entertaining as a result. The same can be said for the three heroes. Kazuki and Usato could seem plain, but then you pair Suzune with them, and she adds a bit more quirkiness that makes it stand out more. She reminds me of Akemi from Dumbbell. It's not these characters are bad, far from it, but more thanks to these unique ones, they're fleshed out a bit more.
Which then I follow this up on context of the story. Like, you take how this started, and it could come across as any regular Isekai, but then you have Rose's entrance, and the attention of it goes up a notch. Which makes the show that much more enjoyable. Characters like Rose will carry this anime further than expected.
Art and sound: 7
Can't say anything wrong with it, it does it's job in both departments, and does it well. I'd say that you can tell there is not only some fun in is, but a great attempt in order to make it look well polished and great attention to detail to boot. Everything flows nicely, everything seems enjoyable, everything seems fit for purpose. Something you'd want in an anime. While it's not breathtaking, or super stand out in the slightest, but what it does, is does it's job.
Honestly, a fun Isekai, that deserves some spotlight. If it keeps going well, it'll be a well liked show for sure. I'd give it a watch.
