The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World

I thought for a moment about making a proper analysis and a serious review, since it's not a preliminary review anymore, but I mean, come on. The show doesn't treat itself seriously, so why should I? Also, it's not like it's unenjoyable despite being bad, so eh. I'll leave most of it as is. Dear reader. I don't care how high or low do you think the level of my intelligence is. I think that this show did not respect it, no matter its quantity. If you've ever seen another trashy isekai, especially one that has some sort of trans-dimensional trading system in it, then you'veseen all the gimmicks that this anime will have going for it. The plot of "Arafo Otoko" is as one-dimensional of a Campfire Cooking knock-off, as one can make. And generally it's a happy mishmash of isekai slop tropes in random order. Which to be fair, I'm used to at this point; This is neither the first dumb power fantasy trash I watched, nor will it be the last. But I must stress, that this workaround around the general issue of dumb shows came from me, not from the show. They are still on the hook for being moronic, appealing to the base emotions and relying on the stupidest tropes one can think of. Me being "fine with that" is not a merit of these shows, but a dull reality I've grown to accept. The idea in the first place was always, is that if you're gonna be swimming through the trash anyway, at least choose a decent kind. Sometimes it's the barely trashy Eminence in Shadows. And sometimes, it's a stinker like Arafo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan. And I'll probably gobble it up, anyway. Self-respect is through the roof here, bois. HOWEVER! While there are many, many faults I can see in it, like some sound glitches, many reused frames, bad CGI, music that becomes mismatched to the general scene's vibe, because they let it play for a bit too long, stiff and cheap animation and lazy editing included, there is one part that I absolutely love. While this title doesn't respect any intelligence, it does respect the heck out of my time. Like, despite this clearly being a dogwater of an isekai show, this I feel like it's trying to speedrun the story. It's relying on the preconceived notion, that since you LITERALLY CAN NOT GET LOST in a brain-dead stupid plot like this, you therefore can go at a breakneck pace and tick off the classic isekai tropes one by one and get home for dinner with no overtime. It makes the show so much better for it. At least compared to other slow life-adjacent fantasy shows, which often take FOREVER to get to the point, even in the case of a much better Campfire Cooking which this show borrows A LOT. Yet, this dumpster fire of a show, flexes on many competitors in the trash genre, simply by saying that: "When creating a story, its STRUCTURE matters almost as much as the plot itself." And in this story's case, structure is king. (Even though the plot and the characters are still sh**) While all the alleged plot takes place, I feel the author was forced by an editor to add romantic subplots and sexual innuendos, but wasn't really comfortable with them, so they are an afterthought. He probably didn't want to waste any more time on romance than necessary. It's so bad, that it loops around to being decent again, just because it brings nothing to the story and is short, sweet and already over with, before you can remember the current female romantic interest's name. Summarizing, I like trashy isekai slop. You like trashy isekai slop. We all like slop every now and then. This one will not remain in your head for longer than an hour after the credits of the last episode roll. It's definitely one of them. It's cr*p and I recommend it regardless, because it's dumb fun you can lose yourself in, as with any slop. Have fun and probably stop reading if you are considering watching this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One thing that changed my final score from the initial 4 to the current 2, is that it dared to hint at "Usagi Dropping" the adopted daughter character, Anemone. If you know what that means, I'm sorry. If you don't, I'm also sorry. It doesn't go further than implying it might just happen one day, but it's disgusting enough that I felt it should be shamed for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The super cool excavator mech that appears in the opening DOES NOT APPEAR in the show. Nor do most of the stuff from the opening. There will indeed be some heavy machinery, but not the big robot, that I was waiting for. The opening is like a banner with pictures of food at a fast food joint. Next to none of it will be there.

Insane premise, insane writer, insanely low budget, TOP SHELF KINO In Arafo Otoko, Kenichi Hamada fulfills the dream shared by all Japanese middle school boys and black-company corporate wage slaves alike; which is of course to get isekai'd into a classic medieval fantasy world, but you still get to keep your access to Amazon so you don't really have to work that hard or give up any of your video games and stuff. Following in the footsteps of Charles Manson, Kenichi masterfully woos multiple unsuspecting medieval females between the ages of 13 and 20 by posing as a merchant from a far off land and impressing themwith his many Temu items from the future. This convinces them that, despite being a 40 year old loser, he is a superior male worth mating with because he has dollar-store plastic jewelry and microwave TV dinners full of the high-calorie saturated fats and processed sugars they've never known in their world. These recently prepubescent girls throw themselves at Kenichi's feet at the mere sight of him wielding the miraculous, godlike power of the post-industrial Chinese drop-ship economy. With his ever-growing entourage of young women one third or less his age, Kenichi rampages across the land destabilizing national economies, murdering innocent landowners and local fauna, participating in race wars, naming clueless people funny stuff like "Bicycle", fighting dragons with construction machinery, showing off, and otherwise tainting the purity of both mother nature and her human daughters using his diesel-fueled SUV's and bulldozers which he bought off of Temu in another world. All of this amazing action is presented in possibly the worst animation ever created, which along with the script was probably done by artificial intelligence. Mind boggling decisions abound. So many extreme long shots are used that the characters often just look like ants on the screen. Sometimes the shot is so extremely far away, a scene will start by literally zooming in from space. This all results in many funny moments for the sharp-eyed viewer who notices that kind of thing. If you are a triple digit IQ cinema enjoyer, this is the best thing since The Misfit of Demon King Academy. Don't pass this one up at your weekly anime night with your friends. Put on an episode after watching a few of your favorite shows, and you just won't believe your eyes.

I saw some of negative reviews regarding this isekai with a sol element , looks like kids didn't like fan service which more like a mature romance b/w mc and characters . Actually it's a common trend people hate whatever studio or author do to gain some attention .....if there is progress in romance then people have problem if there isn't any progress e.g rent a gf then people have problem . So, i advice if you looking for a peaceful iseaki with some decent fan service then , it's for you . Warning , this show can trigger hunger so , make sure you have snacksto eat otherwise you will end up in suffering .
