Here's the thing: Is this anime some revolutionary and masterful example of modern entertainment? no. absolutely not. So if you are looking for the next cult classic or the great grandson of Log horizon, Konosuba, or Re:Zero, this is not for you. It's a cute, lighthearted and enjoyable anime with no character development, no tragic backstory, no character detail and pretty much no plot. It is a cute slice of life of cute character doing cute character fantasy things. Story: simply put: it is not there. The concept is simple, the whole anime focuses on the aspect of isekai that is "based on RPG/MMO's" it maintains it'sfocus on the world appearing like a game to Satou(Or satoo) as he adventures through this world. The story is not all that thrilling nor is it particularly titivating, it is simple, lighthearted and enjoyable.

Art:
it's good. The characters are cute. again: nothing all that new or interesting about it. The art is good. It is pleasant to the eyes and the scenery (Especially in a couple scenes) are nice to look at.

Sound:
Both the OP and the ED are generic cute anime songs. Not something you will remember (although I think the ED is adorable)

Character:
Each character has it's own Archetype or take on an archetype. they are cute and good looking. They all exist and are all simply... there. They do not have plenty of depth and the only backstories we really see are for Arisa, Lulu, and Satou. Even then it's within a minute of dialogue. I'll be honest: There isn't a lot to say here.

Overall:
It's an enjoyable and simple show, good for a casual night in between watching more thrilling and/or dark shows. It's cute, simple, easy to watch. You don't have to pay too much attention to it (for those that don't need to read the subtitles) and it's nice to just watch when you want a cute distraction. It's simple and enjoyable. Don't let the sarcastic 1 reviews and awful words make you think the show is bad. It's not bad at all, it's just not new or revolutionary.
