Anime: Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka o Tamemasu 1q444r

Unexpectedly good. I was forced to binge watch it!

8/10

Fun, simple, and interesting!

Imagine if a main character could transport to another world with very little thought of the repercussions to gaming the system or being discovered. Going back and forth making a quick dollar (or 100 dollars) milking each technological convenience for all it's worth.

That is this anime.

For me it was an enjoyable watch, one of those happy coincidences where none of the character have any ulterior motives except for the MC. It could continue to a season two but it resolved so completely that even if it doesn't go on it's still an enjoyable watch.

On paper, the premise of the MC being able to transport goods from Earth to resell to another world was solid, although the execution was not for me. There are enjoyable moments throughout this series, but on the other hand, this is cheesy. If you're in the mood for lighthearted isekai fun-ness, this will fit the bill.

The concept is great, but it's not taken seriously enough, so the story ended up a little shallow and lighthearted, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
Some of her decisions were questionably stupid though, like using a modern skimpy bathing suit in the equivalent of the middle ages even though she researched that time period, also selling stuff that requires electricity (like flashlights & hairdryers) how are people gonna use those ? Anyway, that stuff is pretty easy to ignore I guess. There are quite a few things that no thought was put into whatsoever, and probably on purpose.
7/10

The most slept on isekai of this season!

Modern era meets old era has been done before, however this one does it in a rather unique way. The MC sells modern products and solutions to people in the middle ages in another world!

Some of the most satisfying moments are the reactions of people who have no notion or understanding of said products, and are amazed at their results, which often leads to some jubilation.

The plot isn't astounding by any means, but this is made up in plenty of "Happy coincidences" that are set up by the MC.

The production budget was a bit on the low-end, the sound track was a bit lacking, and the pacing was bit too fast towards the end. I can also see, how the MC archetype could annoy a few people as well.

It ends in a pretty good spot (for us Anime only viewers).

All in all, if you are loving the current isekai landscape, then I wouldn't on this one.

The story about MC being a total show-off and being proud of it. You'd be burned as a witch if you ever tried something similar. There are just too many stupid things in this anime that don't make sense. If Mitsuha is 26 (?) she has a lot to learn (credit to her, she does some research, later though). Frankly, you'd still enjoy watching these series if you hold the urge to spank the MC.

Long story short - MH try realistic aproach in fairytale.

Good - quite rich humour, and a lot. Nothing too funny altrouth. Also I liked something like Star Trek Q personality in story.

Bad - believing that medieval people is naїve - is wrong. They not stupid, they just not educated as We are. Also sublimated food or conserves being tasty - is doubtful, as medieval recipes of food not so bad as expected and in reality quite tasty (yet simplier). Mercenaries have a little small screentime - there is a lot opportynity to jokes in Jormungand style with setting of this show.

Overall - this show deserves more attention & better rating. Maybe it not for all - but I liked this series a lot because You not see often MH who try to act accordingly (and many funny things due rift between cultures).
