    Refreshing.

    I liked how the humble beginnings of the main character came about. Despite the fictional theme, many will surely identify with the hero. This gave me a taste of online gaming (which I'm not very fond of) in a good way. The story didn't feel complete to me though, especially the end. I haven't read the manga version but I do hope a continuation/second season will be released soon after.

    Good anime

    Don't look boring There are scenes to get excited all the time. The plot is quite good. I like the design of the characters If I typed it wrong, I'm sorry. I'm still not good at English.

    Great Series, but S2 is trash

    The first season was 10/10, but the second season, in comparison, is an abomination. As of right now, not a single episode of season 2 is worth watching. They are all dreadfully dull and watching them is a waste of time, but season 1 was good enough that I keep watching in hopes it'll get better.

    Different and Deep

    Outside the context of this type of anime, going to a magical world can be traumatizing, selfish and non-altruistic actions, this anime builds its script and characters very well, giving the right depth with a tone of emotion.

    It's really worth watching, and Raphtalia is incredible.

    the adaptation from the light novel is remarkable

    Besides the tipical isekai theme, the series has a quick start with the characters accepting just from the first episode that they are in another world. This could seem bad for a development, but its very refreshing and let the series take another view (which is, of course, the main plot from the series). Our protagonist is betrayed from the very start and makes him to see the wonderful isekai world in which he was invoked as it is in reality, a normal kingdom with all its fails and trash. From that point our protagonist evolves in such a smooth way that you dont remember the last time he didnt taste food. the soundtrack is wonderful, following the pase of the series perfectly and the seiyu's have made an excelent job voicing naofumi, filo and the racoon loli. the animation is acceptable, with some fails, but those dont ruin the experience. my score for the series is 8,5/10 and as a personal opinion a 9/10
