    Actually pretty good to watch

    It's kinda similar to "that day I was reincarnated as a slime", that series was kinda dark type this is just a "fairy" type series, enjoyable to watch and also voice of MC is so cute I really liked it and also the FMC's voice too .... Everyone's voice is cute

    Simple fun!

    This show doesn't bring anything new to the table of anime. But to me, it's been a fun watch. The main character is relatable and I like the way we get to see glimpses of his pass life. Its a little bit of a slow burn. It's has some light comedy and some action. The show has a calming atmosphere to it that just really grabbed me. It's not a show for everyone. If you are a fan of slice of life anime. Or just wanting to relax and set back this anime will be for you. Over all the animation looks good. This show would be in my top 25 anime to watch.

    No drama, just good vibes...

    On paper a western production company would never pick this up. There is no big drama, no over the top villain or villains and even the magic used is fairly low-key compared to a lot of anime. That's what makes BTGOTG awesome!

    It's a stress free, effortless viewing experience where you want only good things for the main character and that's precisely what happens. You almost find yourself suspicious of some subsidiary characters because you're expecting one or more of them to be wolves in sheep's clothing but they aren't.

    I really hope this series flourishes because watching it is a truly uplifting experience that I would recommend to anyone but particularly if, like me, you're weary of the real world and perhaps graced with depression. Watching Ryoma enjoy the life this world denied him always cheers me up.

    Very mellow tone and calming mood setup. I found myself fall asleep in season 2. It was okay.

    Really enjoy the storyline and the characters. Big fan of 'isekai' genre. Love this fantasy world, the adventure as well the action thought there werent that much to begin with. Soothing sound effects and great voice casts.

    Felt like playing a mobile game as it involve class upgrade and running business. Recommended.

    Season 2 was underwhelming. Lack actions and adventure compared to season 1. This season solely focuses on expanding ryoma's business.

    A delightful Show

    No drama, little conflict, delightful simply delightful and it should get more than 2 seasons. Sometimes these sweet little anime's who don't make us cry but smile should get more credit.

    This is a cute OP hero makes friends and does good things for 12 episodes. This show is a torrent of feel good scenes to escape into when life is tough. I really enjoyed this show, because there was no conflict, and sometimes its nice to leave a show with a smile on one's face rather than a blubbering mess.

    It is free of contrived drama for drama's sake, and that's an even trade off for me.

    Watch this if you want to smile for 6 straight hours.

    • Trivia
      The reason Ryoma's life utterly sucked so much on Earth is that his world's God was treating Ryoma's life like an RPG character; wishing to turn him into a serial killer. When Ryoma wouldn't snap, said God caused his lame death.

      Gain, Kufu and Lulutia noted that every major tragedy in Ryoma's life was a nation level God trial. Ryoma passed them all, so the jerk God DID give rewards for their completion; but the rewards were all useless to Ryoma.
