I know what you're thinking: this show has been done before, and yes. Combine Tondemo Isekai with the 30 year old adventuring party show, and you'll get this anime featuring a 40 year old Isekaied Salaryman selling and making money for ends meet. Asaka's back for a hard rock OP? Not sure that I like it though... Decent start, like with most Isekai, but the potential is yet to be seen. |

I overall enjoyed this first episode, but to be honest I'm torn on whether I should like the show on principal. Firstly, this show is a rip-off of multiple tropes from previous isekais; the two biggest being that he's a middle-aged man and the second taking straight from Campfire Cooking in Another World with his online shopping ability. This seems a little bit lazy in attempting to add a twist to the show, even by trash-isekai standards. Secondly, a small thing that I just found weird was they imply he gets laid by the first girl he talks to. There wasn't really any reason to add it and I'm not sure whether to chalk it up to "this world is more laid back on those things" or "the author wanted to add sex". Also right before it happens he even says "Don't bother with an old guy like me. I'm old enough to be your father." Which made it all the more weird in my eyes. Overall the show feels like it might be a laid back slice of life with some good vibes. However, the BIG question is whether or not this trash-isekai can actually progress the story in any meaningful way. That's the biggest hurdle these types of shows have to overcome to make it high on my lists. |

@FallNatsukashii he did, but as far as I'm aware, that was meant to be a goblin-slayer first-episode-like hook, which is why there's sure to be people to complain that it was censored, since it was just slightly more explicit in the manga. I didn't read too much or too deeply because I wanted to enjoy the show when it came out, but that sort of stuff didn't happen again on the dozen or so chapters that I skimmed through. On 'principle', I don't think there'd be too much of a problem watching this show, as weird, unnatural, unnecessary and unrepresentative of the rest of the show as that girl inexplicably hoeing herself for nothing was. |

It's nice that they skipped all the isekai explanation but the first few minutes were still very dull. Things got interesting later though. So basically shop stuff from og world and sell here for a profit. It's basically how importing/exporting works. Now the real mystery is how Azalea rewarded him, I wonder. It's always a nice change of pace from the usual teen romance tropes in isekai harem animes. Not a bad first episode for me personally, I mean I generally enjoy most isekai unless they are downright garbage or bland. OP song's pretty nice too. |

EP 1 very confusing introduction the camera keeps jumping its basically meant to be a parody of sorts? so yes the premise of this anime is basically item management where is he going to get moneh? ok so apparently he can trade in/sell items just that it cant be any trash so he found a RUBY thats NINETY THOUSAND YEN? daamn thats a lot of moneh the funny thing is i tried not to mention its basically vending isekai in reverse also the bread cost 1000 yen? uh the only question is if the anime is gonna have action elements orr those monsters dont look so happy well at least the slingshot works for now i wonder if the math adds up bike intensifies convenient i mean if he can mass drop literally any item as long as the price is right price and input limitations really assuming nothing funneh happens 50k yen for silver very he basically got 50k yen out of thin air which is enough for TWO bicycles (dunno if the prices are realistic) and without maintenance the bicycles would fall apart eventually shenanigans talk and listening read and write i mean going by the exchange rate a day doesnt cost that much i think anyway one read write convenience later also hes not THAT old...although I guess uh anime ages when you put it that way the registration fee is kinda monkas also hes gonna need a house at some point though i guess thats gonna take awhile to arrange intensifies its gonna be curious to see how they can keep things intersting for another 10 eps position of the shop is also kinda important at least until word of mouth starts to get everyone big sword pricing high or low is also important what is going on not sure why the random math shenanigans so yeah set low prices (at first) as introduction and then? i mean so far his only expenses are stay and then hmm i guess having to buy all teh assets dunno if a chan is gonna be a recurring character Honestly all things considered a pretty decent first ep Better than expected About the only downside is that we dont really get to see much of the other characters Otherwise its fine The real question is how the rest of the elements (mainly monsters) are going to be handled And how it will keep things interesting Seems like its listed for 13 eps? And the characters really that we havent seen yet |

Nice nice. They zoomeg through the whole isekai first episode thingy but not bad. Uhhhh, felt a bit rushed for a first episode but it's fine. And yes, he definitely did Azalea. It was more explicit in the manga so W I guess. Lol. Looking forward to more girls and that little obnoxious princess. |

The ''problem'' with this anime is if the protagonist keeps mentioning he's 40 years old and saying women are young enough to be his daughters, it’s just awkward, man!! Just go for it without bringing it up (problem solved) and it’d be easier to ignore LOL. But it seems like there’s going to be a controversial "pedo" part, but what can you do, right? Japanese people like that stuff LOL. |

The first episode was excellent, comparing with the first chapter of the manga, you can certainly complain that somehow everything is too fast, but to me it looks quite normal, and added details, such as the female bard, which shows that the inventory is not exclusive, and there are as well in other people goes adaptation only in plus. About the sex scene can be said that censored, but in the manga just prelude, in the form of doubts of the hero just lasted longer, and naked scene was not, or rather was, but a black shadow, so consider and was not. The manga is finished, they'll probably adapt the whole thing considering how small the chapters are. |

Wow! The first episode left a good impression. The quality might not be top-notch, and the story isn’t groundbreaking, but this show has a unique charm. Both the MC and the inn girl exude a likable personality that makes me curious about their everyday lives. Plus, the old woman by whose stall the MC sets up shop adds a quaint touch to the setting. I have a feeling this show will be enjoyable, and I’m eagerly anticipating the upcoming episodes. |

It was funny how they fast forwarded with the intro, they know you can only retell the same origin story only so many times but this one was rather different, MC was retired isntead of dead right? having MC get laid was also a big surprise, those are rare in the genre. |

@IhnalakoKaina Glad to hear it might get better. The "on principal" part was entirely revolving around the gimmicks of the show like he's middle-aged and has an online grocery. But I'll still be watching it as trash-isekais are a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm super glad to hear about the tavern girl not being a repeated thing. I was praying this wouldn't end up being a repeat of something like Re:Monster lmao. |

I didn't like the first minute just zooming through the getting isekai'd part. Fortunately, the rest of the episode was as good as I was hoping for: pretty interesting, with lots of colorful characters and fun interactions. Also loved the OP at the end. While the plot isn't completely original (see 'campfire cooking in another world'), it seems to be a really solid version of it, and I like what I'm seeing so far :) |

so here we are going to follow an old man making a remark about his age in each episode but ending up fucking young girls? Why not just kiss her without making any comments about her age first, or make her say lines like "you're my daughter's age" and then fuck her? |

The first episode is a pretty underwhelming start. The concept of an average middle-aged guy using online shopping to navigate another world has potential, but the execution feels bland. The humor is hit-or-miss, and the pacing is sluggish, making it hard to stay engaged. While it’s not entirely without charm, it doesn’t do much to stand out or make a strong first impression. The first episode also felt rushed in my opinion, everything went so fast that you didn't even know what was happening. |

Loved the way they mater o' fact blitzed through the isekai and world introduction stuff. I know those candies that they showed. I typically get a bag of them for a candy bowl at Christmas time. Candy and a sketch for winning a girl! Good to know, but to bad I can't draw for f!ck. From the ED it looks like he will collect quite the crew and harem. I had not intention of watching this up until seeing a little excerpt on youtube an hour ago. |

i already know i am genuinely going to enjoy this anime! i really like the business aspect of it and him adapting to a new world so quickly. i mean as soon as he got "isekai'd" he said "status open" like he already knew what was going on. he adapted so quickly he learned how to read and write in their language and got laid, all in 1 day. |

Did mc and Azalea have seggs? Great premise, bad start because there's no summoning and isekai intro. He just died and suddenly he can use his item box. Good thing it got better in the latter part of the episode. |

I enjoyed the 1st episode. Kenichi seems to have gotten used to this world fairly quickly and realized how he can make a decent living. Looks like he is going to bring a lot of interesting things into this world after watching the video at the end. |

Good beginning episode! Kenichi is a self-made man. Azalea may be the first to prove... No ecchi, but animation and art should be of better quality for good ecchi; so, no problem -- yet. Did I write animation and art should be better? Such would make the series more entertaining... and ecchi even more desirable -- Azalea is pretty; nude Azalea would be even prettier... |

What a ridiculously compressed introduction! I nearly dropped it then and there with that infodump-on-amphetamines, but steeled my resolve to see the whole thing. The rest of it was similar to the "outdoor cooking in another world" anime with the "online shopping + RPG world" shtick but it lacks charm to go with its borrowed strangeness. It's also fairly simple-minded for being seinen. I'll come back next week in the hopes that it's less unimpressive. |

This show has absolutely zero chill. What the hell is the direction? Everything is cut so fast together, there's no time to digest anything... it's like Doomscrolling the anime, the isekai. |

On the fence yet again. I'll give it 3 Episodes. I did like that he questioned how the Online ordering thing worked & what he was eventually going to have to REALLY pay for all that merchandise. Mountain bike was a good choice, but don't let anyone see you riding it. Also, order weapons BEFORE you need to use them. I mean that should be obvious, but maybe being raised in Modern Japan, he doesn't think like this typical American mind of mine who would invest in self-defense! LOL |

@LordCrueltyV Too bad they forgot to add the Azalea scene that was apparently in the Manga. Thumbs down for making the story bland, more spice definitely needed. Generic Isekai, watchable, but at the moment nothing memorable, the one where the girl exploits her modern knowledge to make gold was better. I'll wait & see if it improves. btw, yeah use to get those hard candies at Xmas all the time. LOL |
