Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku

Despite being a handyman with a wide range of skills, Saitou is severely undervalued and underpaid. When he complains, his boss fires him, claiming that he is easily replaceable. As if his luck was not bad enough, Saitou soon finds himself about to be run over by a truck on his way home.

Surprisingly enough, Saitou does not die; instead, he is transported to another world. There, he meets a party composed of the female knight Raelza, the moonlight fairy Lafanpan, and the mage Morlock, who are all coincidentally looking to recruit a new member with a skill set like Saitou's.

Throughout their time together, Saitou uses his expertise to assist his fellow party members and soon comes to receive the recognition he never thought was possible. However, Saitou's presence may just be the catalyst that will connect a diverse cast of people from different places, slowly uncovering the fate that could bring a great change to this world.

A Handy man got Isekaied and now he's the party Rogue.

Both the idea and characters are rather cute. I like that MC-kun doesn't go from zero to OP in the blink of an eye. Instead he just uses the same skills he had in a different setting while the other party members cover his flanks so to speak.

Oddly enough the one to shine in this show was one of the side characters, Morlock the senile mage.

My one critic is that around the midway point the sound is... odd. There is a high pitched sound in the background of the major fight scene ... that gave me such a headache. I honestly though I had tinnitus and paused the show a few time to check.

Aside from that the show was cute and charming if a little basic. Overall a pleasant quick watch.

Mixed Feelings

Do you enjoy extremely boring and bland anime? Well, this one is for you, this anime was created as an experiment by its mangaka, to see if he can truly hit that fine balance of extreme blandness and man, did he achieve it! This anime may as well be the finest of all bland ones out there, it has no drama, it has no conflict, nothing stands out but shockingly there is nothing bad about it either. Its the kind of anime you put on as noise in the background while making dinner and because its pure vanilla, you somehow did not miss a thing!

Not Recommended

I think this is getting such high scores based on the last 4 episodes.

This series starts off disjointed, with horrible pacing, bad character introductions, no setup, and essentially a hot mess.
It continues this way for the first 6 episodes. Then you get 2 "not quite as bad" episodes, by this point you sort of know who everyone-everywhere is but a lot of them you just don't give a damn about. Then the last 4 episodes are actually decent. Probably worth a 7.5 rating. But it isn't worth sitting through 8 episodes of hot mess to get there.

The ... animation itself is fine, there's no problem there, and the opening and ending music is generic but there's no problem with it, nothing that would detract from the show. (Not that I really note the credit sequences and music as part of the rating for a show, more as a side-note if they're really good and worth paying attention too).

I get the feeling that whoever was adapting this for animation story was dropped in at the deep end, or else they just slavishly copied a manga that allowed more exposition or a different style. Whatever they did it doesn't work as episodic anime.

For me I advise a hard pass, if you're a mature person watching this. Your 12-13 year olds might like it if they're just looking for some occasional cheap laughs and 2-dimensional characters with bright colours.
