I honestly would reccomend this anime to everyone. Its probably one of the best anime ive seen too. Some people might not like it but isekai fans would 100% LOVE this anime.

I think what a lot of people who give this anime a bad review are missing is the fact that its an Iyashiki. The plot is slow and has no real conflict since iyashiki typicaly don't. I do wish they had explored the magic system a little more but thats more personal prefrence for nitty gritty details for magic. Overall a good relaxing anime with just enough humor to keep it interesting.

This show had major pilgrimage vibes and I honestly just wasn't feeling it. Plus the interactions between all the characters felt really fake and I just waan'ton board with the whole pedophilia thing. Also the slimes weren't cute at all. Who decided to make them murky colors? This was just a collection a bad ideas all around.

I think that this is a really good anime for those who would like to see a relaxing fantasy-adventure isekai. The anime is really great but I have not read the manga so I don't know how it compares. Only negative thing I have to really complain about is how the horses looks compared to the rest of the anime. It looks like it is a CG animated horse while everything else is 2D which does not fit in.

Honestly as an isekai fan, this was a really nice breeze at first. And I have to say, I'm happy that more isekays that aren't full of fan service get to have an anime, I see so much more nowadays.

But when I tell you this series was downhill from the halfway. It basically was just the same episode over and over again, with no difference to the second season. The protagonist had no problems anymore, he's just living his life and being happy, which I'm pretty sure can be done right someway, but this is just boring! There was NO plot, which is downright annoying because the protagonist had somewhat depth to him, it could've been explored.

The storyline also kind of started to focus on the fact that the main heroin, who I need to mention IS 11, have something going on with our hero, whose AT LEAST 40! The anime tries to explain this with the fact that our mcs emotions are only because he's a child again, so he's emotions are like a child's, but please thats BS right there. If it's coming down to the point where you have to explain why the character isn't a pedo you're already lost. And it's just so sad how many iskeaies do this, disgusting.

I've seen people defend the manga, so I also read into it, I was disappointed. I was hoping to get rid of this disturbing situation with the mc and his 11 year old girl, but down right in the first volume, I knew it won't be gone.

Overall I would not recommend this. The first few episodes can be great if you ignore the pedofelia and like seeing warmhearted moments, but after the hero moves out it's awful, he does nothing important, and the world isn't interesting at all to get invested in. Don't waste your time, other series did better.
