By far the best premiere of new anime i watched this season.

This is all around good quality with its animations, art and direction.

I laughed a lot with its comedy and i really, REALLY like the MC, just a normal dude in his profession from his real life struggling. Loved the last scene.

I went in this with no expectation but this was quite frankly a wonderful start, i'm very impressed.

This is the kind of isekai we need, more focused on the fantasy elements and character building. That being said, I didn't expect it to have this short stories format, and while it was ok, I hope it takes a route similar to the last segment. Lot of potential here.

If she thinks it is cheap and looks so easy, why didn't she do it herself?
He came all the way from his company's office and brought his useful tools.
He unlocked the door without any scratch, and just because he did not break any sweat.

Wait, so Saitou didn't think of starting his own business in his previous world if the company's salaries are low?
But I guess there are other issues.

And there are levels? I just don't like how this series is treating as a video game.

Well alright, decent introduction to various characters, decent animation and a handyman who's feeling fullfilled after having self doubts about his previous position. Not a bad start.

Complaining costumers are usually just trying to push the fee or/and they're genuinely annoying people who struggle with themselves lol (which is why they want others to struggle as well)

At least this isekai didn't went full video game mechanics

The animation was great, indiviual character designs were nice, a couple characters had funny quirks. The show is one of the better isekai's in the genre that doesn't go the route of over powered male lead

I will not sing its praises, not with only one episode.
The show is relaxing, the plot is not forced, there is no manichean villains, there is no childish power trip ...
I appreciate the humility and the calm of the main character, but also the others. The one "bad guy" wasn't over-the-top. That's refreshing.
It's one of the best isekai of this season.
I'll follow this one.

edit: oh yes, I kind of forgot because of the ending but I've smiled a few times too.

This is the real power fantasy deal

Being masterswordsman? Meh

Knowing powerful spells that can una live thousands? Meh

Having literal power over life and death? Boring

Feeling appreciated and loved in your salaryman job? That's real escapist power fantasy there!!!

I feel like this would be better if it wasn't a shorts style anime, the disconnected parts did introduce the character well enough but felt unnecessary. Also wish they made the scar on Raelza a bit harsher, it feels a little silly to see her so self conscious of it when it looks like a pretty small and not attention drawing. Small gripes really I do think this concept is fun though and am curious to see where it goes.

The first episode showed us the wide array of characters. I guess throughout the series they'll all connect at some point.

Probably a hot take, but I found it kinda wack tbh. Or maybe it would be better to say I think it's neither good nor bad. I like the humor and the episode certainly had its moments, but the lack of direction and the "back and forth" scenes kind of bothers me. 5/10 so far in my opinion. I hope it improves somehow.

Holy shit what the lady said to Saitou in the original world made my blood boil too. mf i am pro that's why it's quick. 

ohh it's 4-koma Manga, no wonder it's like non linear storytelling.
I really enjoy this one.

When they said no one can replace you, Saitou.
Damn that was Wholesome AF!!

I don't really like reading a few pages per chapter but this adaptation is solidly awesome.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I just found out this is based on a 4-koma manga. So this explain the short stories.

I hope they create some original plot with a arc later, because the characters are actually interesting.

Tbh I was kinda put off from the formatting. But content wise it feels different enough from the other isekai shows. Commencing 3 episode rule.

story- 6.5 ok it's an isekai, but the scenes in the episode didn't make much sense, I was lost. How did he get there? Why? How did he meet these people? Is there a class level?

art- 8.5 nothing to complain about but it wasn't perfect

sound/music-9

characters- 7 interesting, but very silly and so far without any construction

pleasure- 7

overall - 7.6

but since the metric is between 1-5 I will give it a 3

An MC whose skillset isn't respected goes to another world and is much more appreciated there. I like this first episode! His parties dynamic is pretty good and the rapid pacing between events kept things interesting. I hope we get more interactions between the MC and the other group we saw too.

It feels like Konosuba at times. Gimmick characters also add to D&D feeling, especially given that the mage reminds me of one of characters in an old campaign.

Saitou feels a bit simplistic, devoid of any goals, but as a comedy it does not feel like it'll be necessary. He does have some character and skills uncommon for probably watching so he does not feel like self insert protagonist giving isekai a deserved brake from the trope.

Overall a good first episode, had a laugh at times, will watch further

Beside that one scene where Saitou was checking if flying fairy is one length unit if super wholesome anime.

I liked that calm, slow and warm synergy between characters. It was rereshing.

Morlock with all his "things" feels kinda like child of Kazuma and Megumin.

Raelza quality girl.

I think this is my first Isekai anime in three years, this anime was different from any other out there where the protagonist are cliche as hell in some way to another, but so far nothing like that in the first episode, hope it will be great to the end of the show.

Gandalf but alzeimer's quite funny, joining the zombies got me lol.
Saitou support role mc's always welcome in the isekai flood & he's quite perceptive.
dont like the 4 koma style incoherent edits. The cast adventuring is decent & funny with nice animation, so there's ways for a much smoother script.
dunno why characters & background everything's so grey.

It's definitely something new and adds to the wide pool of Isekai. I think the first episode thus far shows us what it would really be like if we teleported into a new world, instead of setting extremely high expectations in which the protag. would be over-powered.

Great start to the series. The characters are cute and fun and this did a great job giving everybody a distinct personality and made me care about them. There was a lot of plot and character building that built up to a super cute ending that left me wanting more. They make a great team and I am excited to see what adventures they embark upon.

I'm ranking this 10/10 because it's a great isekai, it's a great D&D anime, it's got a nice slightly unique art style (a bit like mushoku tensei), both combat and non-combat animation is nice, the comedy is fun, and the world building is sweet and short to the point.

I'm kinda disappointed with the format of the story tbh, but it does have a lot of potential to be a great thing, all the ideas presented in this episode are really good, I liked all the characters shown and their interactiong, problem is that it seems to be all stick together with a piece of gum, anyways, it might still be good tho as a 4 koma style anime, those usually allow for a lot of diverse situations to be explored without the hinderence of connecting everything. Also that format makes it easy to watch, its just that the trailer made me think it was going to be presented differently, thats all
