While it has been a few years since I've seen this anime, nevertheless it is quite a humorous experience despite beginning with a darker setting. The story involves characters from another realm being transported and stuck in our own world, thus forcing them to struggle on minimum wage salaries, an interesting take with several anime that already try to adapt the work setting into anime. However, with the darker undertones the anime calls into question of if good vs. evil is really that black and white a picture.

Art was very well done and the music was decent throughout. However, the heart of the anime lies within its characters, who account ofc for the comedic aura throughout the 13 eps, yet also introduce several interesting dynamics that form interesting scenes within the anime. Definitely a good watch, and would recommend it for anyone seeking a comedy if they haven't seen this yet.

Season 2 never. How long has it been? 3 years~?
Either way, I'm hopeful for another 2 years. This series deserved another season

Wonder if this trend of waiting a few years for very hyped/popular anime is just the industry trying its hardest to keep making a few bucks before it is forced to release a S2 ;/

But yes, I'd like to see a S2 potentially in the future, however this anime did end pretty decently I will say.

yeah animation and art has improved throughout the years but it still feels like their budget is in the bin. I can't tell if the producers are making profit at this point.

Thought this thread was made because of an announcement. How depressing.
