Review of Parallel World Pharmacy

Rarely do i have an opinion i deem worth writing, something that's shown by my basically non-existent presence in here. But this one really got me on the ropes . This piece of work here is easily the WORST isekai in existence at the moment, simply because it fails the very basis of an isekai. Usually even the sloppiest of the slop have at least some semi-decent world building. This anime however does not. Judging by the whole reincarnation of a literal god thing the MC has going on, this world is supposed to be high fantasy. But outside of the "divine arts" magic, this fantasticworld is devoid of any actual fantasy. Barren even. And because of the setting chosen the very premise of the anime is a difficult exercise in subverting expectations. A high fantasy setting where nobody outside of nobles have some sort of basic magic,poorly explained in the show,with people being incapable of even treating the common cold.In the same world where a LITERAL GOD OF MEDICINE reincarnates on quite a regular basis,enough so to the point where people can identify it.

Another thing that really ticked me off is the condescending attitude the MC and the show itself has towards the people of this world,thinking an evil spirit might be the cause of people getting sick, in a world where again, LITERAL GODS reincarnate on a regular basis. Not to mention that whole non-sensical point of bringing accesible medicine to the commoners of this fantasy world ,like in today's day and age treatment for any serious disease is on the cheap and accesible.

Most of these slops also do at least have ONE decent character with some depth you can follow in the story.Again, not this one. All the characters are cardboard cutouts,MC included . The animation in the 3 short fights across all 12 episodes is low-effort as well.

In conclusion,there's not a single redeeming quality that can save this particular slop. Not some basic comedy,not some fanservice,not some intresting characters,not good worldbuilding,nothing!
