As for me, when I watched the anime as it aired I knew it was cliche and did absolutely nothing original for an Isekai, except perhaps having 2 MC get transported instead of 1. Did I hate this anime? No, not really. I guess I enjoy isekais or fantasy stories in general. And I'm one of those that adjusts my standards based on what I'm going to watch. I still remember the trailer for this anime and I knew right away that this is going to be one of those trashy, cliche, overdone isekais. So I knew what I was getting into from the start. Why would I watch it in the first place if I knew it was going to be subpar or average at best? I like isekais so I'll watch it. But I won't have my hopes up or anything. This mentality lets me enjoy whatever I watch for the most part.
