In Another World with my Smartphone

Okay... gonna get this out the way, this is objectively a very mid anime but this is not a case of mistaken identity. It is not trying to be anything more than it is with the very low stakes considering the themes explored and un-compelling but very likeable characters. I couldn't stop smiling as I binged both seasons and whilst there are other animes that handle wholesome vibes with a more compelling story, this was just something harmless and sometimes it's nice have something to switch off to. However, I am by no means discouraging good art, this is still a very average series but if you want some fluffy background noise, then this might just be for you.

Not bad and enjoyable. Looking forward to more in future. Simple storyline with few cool characters. Not fan of the voice casts nor the sound effects. World buiding and the lores were good. Recommended.

And that's about it. It was poorly directed, poor acting and poor art quality.

Although this anime is only 12 episodes, it does deliver something unique. The titular item takes a backseat most of the time being used for AoE (Area Of Effect) spells like "Shining Javelin" or as a map. & though the anime's pacing is awful, jumping from one plot point to the next (Arrival, Adventurer Registration, Forest Battle#1 etc), I found it enjoyable, however there needs to be more filler episodes, but that doesn't mean make you seasons 30+ episodes long like "Dragon Ball" or "Naruto". That being said, if "Production Reed" (or any production company for that matter like "White Fox") chooses to continue this series, they need to slow down a bit & build the world a little more. In that regard, I look forward to future seasons.
