Some dude kicks the bucket and is informed by a self-proclaimed godlike figure that he’s being sent into another world to shake things up. The divine manager grants him a plethora of blessings and abilities and sends him on his way. Roll the OP. Our protagonist does some foraging before heading to town and introducing himself as Takeru. He drops by the local general store and sells stuff. He’s traumatized to discover the local inn doesn’t have a bath. He travels more and collects more stuff. He helps a dragon hatch its egg, and the baby dragon joins him on his travels.
Ah, we’ve found the generic isekai par excellence. Well, another one of them, at least. The episode was a drag, a paint-by-numbers slog, its every beat predictable and seen before dozens of times. I suppose it is harmlessly inoffensive, which I guess is sort of a small point in its favor if you squint, but it’s otherwise completely unremarkable. Why would you watch this when you could watch…uh…anything else? I’m definitely passing on this one.
