Isekai Breaking Bad Is it cute? Yes. Is it deep? No. Does it have actual story? No. But it is relaxing. No spoilers, as there is no story. Don't expect anything serious to happen here, scraps of story given are just a pretext for characters to play with each other. If you like fluffy tails and overly sweet voices this is anime for you. If you look for actual story or character development, look elsewhere. This series has isekai in title, but apart from first 30s and a part of last episode there is nothing that would make it one. And it doesn't need or even try to be one. Story followsprotagonist who can make any potion/elixir/medicine he can think of and a bunch of characters that come to him with (often imaginary) problems. Typical episode consists of one or two potions making someone's life easier and then everyone has good time, everything topped with some typical gags and tail wagging. MC makes a lot of friends, collecting standard harem zoo: cute pet-girl, cute maid-girl, cute tsundere, cute loli. There's even discount Aqua hidden in the lake.
Everything is overly sweet and cute, Reiji (played by Fukushima Jun, VA of Kazuma) must have made some insulin there to survive this, we have to endure all the Noela's noises and tail wags without his OP medicine.But under this cutesy artstyle hides the monster of lacking. Characters may look good and attractive, but their animation is a bit stiff, there are a lot of recycled scenes/backgrounds and "story" repetitiveness is not helping. Lack of any real character development and story means that cast is one-dimensional, most of clients/friends have just one trait that distinguishes them apart and drives their actions: demon king, that falls for Noela, does everything he can to make her like him, local mercenary leader tries to look strong and capable etc. Only drugstore residents are given any backgrounds, even if shallow.
All this does not mean the series is not enjoyable, just don't expect any sophisticated plot and deep meaning. This series never aspired to be the best isekai, or even isekai to be honest. But even with low budget and inadequate story it manages to be nice, easy and relaxing experience, good for watching after work or during mealtime to calm yourself at the end of day.
