A young man that lives a pretty normal life gets summoned to another world as a hero everyone should look up to but instead gets shoved into dirt left with nothing. He prevails, finds companions, and sorta moves forward but then it starts going south. With the introduction of new main characters, most of the major choices and turns of events start being easily predictable. As you soon find out, the main character pulls through everything without leaving any space to worry about him or his companions. The same goes for most of the side characters, excluding the evil ones that are used as scapegoats to display what happens to people when they do evil things. But then again, the show leaves no room for viewers to reflect on any of the antagonist's choices or thoughts whatsoever. Although, the show tries to provide that in a couple of pretty good attempts, it still ends up being so blatant and easy to foresee, that it almost loses its whole point. But the story moves forward at a good pace and it doesn't feel like nothing happens in any of the episodes so you kind of fly through it whole.
The character development of the main protagonist is rather decent, although in some ways pretty slow. The fact that his companions blindly look up to him and overlook every misstep he makes, is kind of dumb. I believe it's meant to show that most of them are thankful to him for saving their lives but still, they could be a lot less forgiving. The character development of the other companions is non-existent so most of the characters become kind of dull sooner or later.
The design of the show is pretty average with unthinkable use of badly made CGI. Some of the scenes looked so low-budget that it was almost painful to watch. It almost seemed as the whole budget for graphics went on cute girls. And believe me or not, the show has plenty of them. But girls and women are pretty much the only things that are well made. Guys on the other hand are either disgusting fat noblemen or uninteresting dudes that you won't remember anyway. Even the fights are not outstanding, more like the opposite. There are way too many times when most of the characters are just standing around doing nothing and after that, exchanging some blows and that's all. I'd wish that they had put more effort into the fight scenes in general.
With that being said, the anime was pretty enjoyable. It was decent and it provides you what you should expect from an Isekai. And if you expect something new, I'm sorry but you won't find that here either. They tried to combine things other authors put in their shows but kinda messed it up so it's nothing special. If you can forgive the poor production, it might be a decent experience for you as well.
