Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

I don't usually like isekai. My list is littered with isekai I didn't finish. it's either not well done, too trite, too ecchi, too violent, too... well, all sorts of negative tropes you'll find in a genre that anime producers seem more interested in using as a cash cow than a work of art.

This isn't a work of art. But it's better than most.

This anime is a strange, non-ecchi MEGA HAREM. I mean, throughout this anime, more and more people join their little village, and the MC is the only viable man in the village. They're really cagey with the ... whole "sex" thing, so it's only clear that he's done the deed with exactly one person, but since they're so cagey, it's not clear if that's exclusive or not. But the fact that we don't actually know is kind of refreshing in itself. In case it's not clear - this anime is not ecchi. In fact, I'd say it's almost militantly not ecchi. Closest we get is a bunch of lamia, a few communal baths, and a bit of innuendo, but otherwise nearly nothing in that regard.

For a quasi but mega harem anime, that's unusual and refreshing. And quite an accomplishment for over 50 female characters, and one breeding-capable male.

This is an iyashisekai (which is a word I just made up, sue me). There's little conflict, no wars, no real unpleasantness, everything just works out for the MC and his village. What few violent things are extant get dealt with in a cutesy, chibi animation style that deliberately plays the violence down. (For example, when the "dogs" go out to "greet" new arrivals, it's shown as a Beetle-Bailey esque cloud of dust with faces popping out.) Nothing really goes wrong, everyone has a happy life, and, well, that's exactly what this anime is about. A bunch of people forming a happy village. There's really very little plot past that. In fact, I think my major critique of this anime is that it gives a rather idealized and unrealistic idea of how farming works. No need for seeds, no bad growth years, and there's never even rain shown. Basically, the only real accomplishment that the MC does throughout the series is grow plants found in Japan and successfully recreate Japanese food. Well, one other, but that would spoil (even though you can pretty much tell from the episode titles, I'll still refrain).

But, this isn't a food anime. There's no detailed, step by step descriptions on how to make food (and considering most of the meat they have access to is nothing like we do, such as wyvern and blood viper, that's probably for the best) like "sweetness and lightning" or "yuru camp". It's mostly to show that they *can* rather than how to. It really amused me when there was a huge, dangerous animal, and his only question was "can we eat it?"

The animation is alright. Not great, but not awful either. There are a lot of interstitials in a cutesy, chibi anime style - which would typically be annoying, but it works in this one. The sound is alright. There are a few laugh out loud moments but not many. Basically, this is a simple, one-dimensional, mostly plotless anime that still somehow manages to not be awful and even to some degree enjoyable.

Recommend from me. Not a strong one, but it's good for its genre. Don't get used to that.

Either there are problems with the translation, or the idea of ​​the anime has been "changed" compared to the original source - but there is already a certain discrepancy even with the description.

If we miss this moment, we have an isekai about an imba, which "isn't" because it's about farming. At first it is really interesting to watch - and there is a certain connection with "nature", but then it comes down to the accumulation of characters without their obvious "need". To be fair, it will be immediately spoiled for us in episode 1. The disclosure, roughly speaking, will be only "main" and then in ... two sentences. Well, except for one moment with the "first satellite" (although, subjectively, it would be better to remember 2 hairy ones - because there is still a question about "motives").
We learn almost nothing about the world, regardless of the premises of "bad for GG" - it's just everyday life, where nothing else should be expected. The entire subsequent time of the anime is concentrated on work and cooking, with some "first steps" of secondary characters, for "diplomacy with GG". At the same time, the harem here is purely nominal, moreover, the ending... spoilers
But, regardless of such "flags" - it's easy to see, a certain "development" is still present, it's not about stomping in one place like in KonoSuba. Therefore, if you do not expect much, there is a need to simply relax - the choice is completely normal. 6.55/10

You ever play Stardew Valley and had like 50 wives, and asked yourself the question, “Huh, I wonder if someone made an anime about my gameplay” Well this is basically it, this is really, just an anime about someones Stardew Valley gameplay footage, it is a classic fetish anime that appeals to the certain goblin of a certain age which have never seen or touched women, in fact, they think women are a video game invention. And thats pretty much this anime, nothing meaningful happens, its boring, bland and stale as they come, the worst of the worst isekai anime solely designed to feed its ... creators fetish.
