I've watched dozens of isekai anime and read even more, and this series feels like a rare gem. Although it starts a bit slowly, it truly finds its stride around episode six. It’s actually more of an anti-isekai: rather than showcasing an overpowered protagonist dominating a new world, it’s about how a group of people grow stronger together, with the protagonist acting as the unifying force. The focus is on human connection rather than individual ego.

The music is wonderful, and the emotional scenes hit deeply. I agree with some of the genre criticisms, though. This isn't so much an isekai or even an adventure series; ... it feels more like a character-driven drama set in a fantasy world. The fact that the protagonist comes from another world feels completely forgotten. More early emphasis on character development could have made the series even stronger.

This series filled a hole I rarely see filled by other series for me and I will definitely rewatch it in the future.
