In Brief: AVOID this is you, like me, hate harem. More Detail: This anime starts out really strong, with an interesting premise, likable characters and a really cute mascot character (freakin' love Zabuton!). If only it stayed focused on those strengths. Unfortunately as we go on rather than focusing upon building up the villiage we instead are focused more on enlarging the MC's harem. At first it's not so bad, villagers join and the fact that they're all female is the big joke and doesn't bug so much as it's early on, there's just a handful of them, and we get details on what they bring to the village and see the expansion directly related to them. Unfortunately by the halfway point (episode 5 or 6) the harem element has completely taken over and the joke (if you find that sort of thing funny) has gone completely stale. The justification on why EVERY SINGLE addition is another woman just gets more and more ridiclous and shallow leading to me even rejecting the events that occur for they simply are just the means to introduce another girl to fawn over the MC. This show really underlines one of the main reasons i hate harem, it kills character development and growth. By the time you reach episode 7 there are so many characters in the village that you just don't get enough time to spend with any of them. Characters who were signiicant at the start have had their roles so reduced that they might as well be secondary characters (if not in some episodes simply background characters). The MC himself is the only one who we still get to spend any real time with but because the cast is so large this doesn't mean we get to see him develop his relationships, rather the relationships develop off screen and we just see the result of him now being the best of friends, as well as the object of their desires, with them all. To sum up: This show was funny, interesting and compelling in its first four episodes. Then the harem took over, and whilst some of the humour still lands from time to time, it's the elements that made the show an interesting and compelling watch that took the backseat as a result.

(Spoiler Free Review) Minor objectionable content (TV-PG) Where to start? This show is pretty bad. It starts off as a standard isekai... reincarnated, overpowered main character, shounen, love intrerests, et cetra. Assuming that this show has a plot, there are a lot of implied important events. Oh, I guess this stuff is happening in the background. Maybe we should delve into any important event? Nah, let's introduce more characters and put more fluffy slice-of-life stuff in the show. In fact, I was waiting for the show to do something. It never really did. As for the characters. I think the word "harem" might be putting it lightly. How can you create a village with at least over one-hundread citizens, with a single male character? If you're looking for character growth be prepared to be disappointed. Is this show just the game farming simulator? Animation and sound are acceptable. About average for a low-budgeted anime. All in all, I rate this show 2/10 -- Trash. It's not worth watching.

A slow life series. Very simple fun slice-of-life, where main protagonist obtains OP farmer skills and creates farm in a middle of deadly forest inhabited by powerful monsters. It’s very laid-back series. He builds sort of harem as many females of various species join him [1], but there is only one chosen girl [2] and the show isn’t harem per se. The best girl is Zabuton. Do not expect romance moments, if any there are few moments and more attune with day-to-day life. Building and farming element is more for enjoyment, because he doesn’t even sow. Plants, trees of all sort and kind sprout from nothing just the kind he wish to grow. There is no actual skill or knowledge in it. Building is shown in the beginning then it’s skipped. The series consists of various mundane and not so mundane events usually consisting of encountering people curious about the place. Comedy plays mostly of people being scared of various powerful beings including the MC, which has omnipotent tool from gods and isn’t afraid to use it when necessary. Another element is dissonance between MC’s expectations of fantasy settings and actual world he is living in. Overall, I had good time watching this series. I do recommend for anyone, who wants mostly peaceful slice-of-life isekai with fun and wholesome moments. Spoilers [1] Vampires, angels, elfs, etc. [2] Towards the end she has child with MC.
