“How can a show which is 80% monologue be interesting?” There were two farming Simulator Anime that were airing this season(:p), THis one was an underdog and frankly after the terrible reception of a similar show last season, there wasnt much to expect from this. Still, one of my friends who is a dirty disgusting scumbag isekai lover basically my homie, read the manga of this show and insisted this one could be a good watch hence I knew Its worth a look. The slice-of-life formula is there and it follows the footsteps of slime. The focus of slime was more on power fantasy however andhere it is more about the harem than anything else , so much so that except for a dog and some dwarves and a couple of kids, every godamn resident of the village that our main protag is in is a ripe and juicy woman who is quite taken with him or wants to use him as a reproduction machine.
Plot (8/10)
Classic slice of life narrator style simulator all the event s are based on the MC s POV and most of the subtle but everpresent hints show off his evergrowing vanilla harem , as he plays Civ 6 and builds his farm, estate and business empire. Mostly its like this episode I met these friends who started to help me with this, while also they are hot women who want my energy ? kind of a situation. Oh and before i forget he is OP as fuck and nobody wants to mess with him which is also one of the running gags.
Sound and VA (8/10)
Peaceful and serene music for a good slice of life setting nice VA and good ED and OPs not much to say but a good solid combination.
Characters (5/10)
Every fucking character is there to just be eye candy busty wonman or further the civilization of the great tree village, nothing of note at ALL.
Art and animation (8/10)
the art and animation are actually pretty nice, lots of cute moments and well-designed characters who are welp eye-catching, to say the least even if forgettable.
Overall if you are an Isekai fan and want a vanilla harem with cute girls and a light power fantasy with no sense of tension this is right up your alley and will be an amazing watch. This is a 100% hit for me and my wish-fulfillment-loving friends. if this doesn't appeal to you just watch the other farm simulator of the season, its called vinland saga for some reason and its much better.

"The nothing isekai" A show literally filled with nothingness. It borrows some ideas from various other shows, then does nothing with them. First up of course is the farming aspect, since it's already right there in the title. Well, it's just as interesting as one wave of the hand with a magical "All-purpose Farming Tool", then pretending you actually did some work. Nothingness incarnate. Then for another example, it pretends to have a harem aspect at first, with tons of different races and personalities for the waifus-to-be, directly talking about how they need to repopulate their tribes and stuff, then we just see the MC complain aboutbeing the only man in the village and seek ways to bring other men in and do nothing of the situation. The whole topic is completely avoided for the most part except where absolutely unavoidable. In the manga we are told about the number of waifus on "night duty" in one text bubble when the first pregnancy is found out of the blue and then the topic is forgotten again. Here in the anime even that is skipped so you'd actually think he only does that one girl.
So, instead of harem, you may think it's turned into a romance then? Nope, even that's reduced to nothing somehow. When the first girl shows up and saves him from loneliness and they start living together it sure looks promising, but as more and more girls come around that aspect is just forgotten. He's never shown to treat any girl like anything special until the sudden pregnancy announcement. There were never any romantic moments or interactions, let alone discussions about their views about marriage, exclusivity or such.
Another aspect is village/city/country building/governance, but it again feels just barely glossed over and lacking details or common sense. It's just there, it happens, and that's all that can be said about it. The politics and interactions with neighbors are even more absurdly trivialized. Everyone is just automatically in awe of the new country's might and power and thus best buds by default, there is no conflict and clearly there never will be, so that aspect too leads to nothing.
You can watch this if you want to kill some time, it's not completely terrible. So long as you expect nothing from it, it will deliver.

Oh god, here we go again with another Isekai/fantasy show, only this time, try to guess what it is imitating from the real world: that's right, Stardew Valley, or more appropriately, Rune Factory. Well, I mean, for a title like lone novelist Kinosuke Naito's Isekai Nonbiri Nouka a.k.a Farming Life in Another World, the idea of getting a headstart if you're a rather new author trying to nitpick about what has NOT come out of the overly saturated Isekai/fantasy genres in the past decade. Unfortunately, this being a Syosetu title that has been launched since the very tail end of 2016 and earning as much as14 volumes of content (as if the time of this review) in the few years since its serialization to now, I really question myself: is it THIS easy to hardsell to Japanese manga/novel companies that the idea of turning Rune Factory into a light novel is a noble concept? Sure, the executives would want to believe so, because while this contributes to sales, we the audience just get wholesomely fumbled around a setting like this which just works decent at best. And given today's landscape of the Isekai/fantasy genre, it's already washed out of its welcome faster than one could ever imagine.
Meet Hiraku Machio, the 39-year-old guy who died of the typical terminal illness in real life and got Isekai-ed into another world. Recognized by God giving him a second chance at life because of what he went through of a life constantly filled with bad luck, He grants Machio the Omnipotent Farming Tool and lands him in the same typical forested area that's far from civilization. Armed with God's Holy Artifact Multi-Purpose Tool from the get-go because of his wish to be a farmer, Machio's location resides deep within an area known for causing a potentially heated conflict between kingdoms, but he doesn't care about at the very slightest. With the largest tree around the vicinity for his farm, this is Machio's redemption at a second life, the Minecraft-cum-Rune Factory style-esque life that's a peaceful one to behold.
When you take a look at this simple premise, the possibilities are endless, as such with the show (and the original source material) in mind. From demi-humans to monsters incoming from the largest tree controlling all traffic incoming and outgoing of demi-humans and monsters alike transforming from being hostile to being like home, it's of no doubt that Machio is doing a great thing for anyone who is in refuge or comes basically for the sole interest of wanting to know more about this new village. Such is with the very first species coming to form their home with him: the Greater Wolves Kuro and Yuki, who were angry at their home has been tarnished by some unknown person and looking for retaliation. Well, the first innings were hostile for Machio, but subsequently with yet another demon spider, the cotton knitting Zabuton, life in this new village begins to take hold, slowly but surely. This raises some attention from the possible inhabitants, like the first few people to come to his village: the vampire Ru and angel Tia. These two are frenemies that have a bit of hostility around them, but in the sight of Machio, work their hardest because both of them are the base foundations for more people to come. Ru has an interest in medicine to grow medicinal plants, and Tia brought in livestock, as well as his family of Killer Angels and Lizardmen to help out in the establishment of the village (the so-called First Steps if you will). Overtime, more and more people like high-elves (led by Ria), elder dwarves (led by Donovan) and even dragons (led by Dryme) come to commune and do negotiations with Machio being the mayor of this growing and vibrant community they call: The Great Tree Village. It's certainly a work of art of how with one simple man wanting a second chance at life, armed with God's Tool of choice, can make one hell of a town that has anything and everything at their shoulders: a strong military from elves and monsters, great resources from demihumans, and a mayor who is steadfast, Machio's work here certainly is not for the faint of heart, subsequently earning himself a harem and families for future generations who'll live to tell the tale of their parents residing in the once-forested village that they can call home. The one SOLE problem I have with this, is that sexual relations are non-existest in the anime (though there are the obvious subtle hints), and I can understand by making this show PG enough to retain the standard, but it feels like a shame that's not inside.
This is quite a simple show to adapt with so much content available at the seams, so it should not be a problem for studio Zero-G and its in-house director Ryouichi Kuraya, along with his staff team to make the best of the adaptation. And for one, certainly its colourful, but yet childishly playful with the comic book-like animation sequences to make for the fact that this is a show that anyone could pick it up and have a good time with it. It's overall in good heart and I wholeheartedly appreciate it for what it is.
Along with the OST, Ru and Tia's character VA OP song "Flower Ring" has a nice tune to it that sounds just as good, and while Vtuber Hizuki Yui's ED "Feel the winds" matches and compliments the feel-good OP, it has an easter egg that only the sharp viewer will be able to catch: notice that each and every character is holding a flower? The ED has different versions floating around the show with its many characters, and each of them holds a yellow rose, signifying their involvement in The Great Tree Village as symbols of friendship. It's nuances like these which help elevate something even as simple as an ending with the watercolour palette.
Y'know, I wish I can really say that this was at least good. But this was a decent adaptation of the LN, albeit with content that was cut primarily because of TV regulations, and even without it, Isekai Nonbiri Nouka would've been a rather sleeper hit of the season with its simplistic storytelling, enriching characters and a generally overall good atmosphere. It's just decent, that's all I can really say about shows like these. But if you're feeling the pinch, try this show, you will not be disappointed.

This is a wholesome feel good MASTERPIECE. If you have a chronic condition or illness and you like isekai this will especially hit you in the feels. Main guy who was sick his whole life gets reincarnated into a fantasy world with a healthy body and uses his knowledge from TV in the hospital to live out his farming/homesteading dreams. The art is beautiful. The shimmer on things, the details of the crops, the character designs and variety, the action scenes, the monsters, everything about this show is top tier. This show is mostly wholesome slice of life in a fantasy setting with some action sprinkledin. You do not have to enjoy slice of life to enjoy this, as long as you love the fantasy elements. Vice versa, you do not need to like fantasy to enjoy the slice of life moments.
There are harem elements with a variety of women who wanna smash the main guy, but the anime is kept extremely PG to the point you don't even see anyone holding hands really (which can get confusing later), and the main guy seems to fear for his safety around these thirsty maidens. If you want a spicier take of this slice of life fantasy- I have heard the manga goes into juicy details.
My favorite element from this isekai, which is something that is excellent and only possible in an isekai, is the knowledge gap between worlds. Many times when you are reincarnated into such a different world there is a lapse in common sense and general knowledge. For example: What are monsters vs pets: Cute doggo, or hellhound? Our main character may never know. Because of his spawn point and his lack of knowledge in the world, he finds unlikely friends and creates an OP village. Yet has no knowledge that it is OP. The world around him freaks out, he has no idea anything is special. Good stuff.
I recommend this anime heavily to anyone who was into cottagecore, homesteading, tradition living, wholesomeness, harems, fantasy, etc. Its a feel good isekai doing the good isekai work.

Mold should grow on you watching this show. What a terrible, bland and pointless show that was. Even for those of us perfectly fine with a slow and peaceful anime, this one could represent a bit of a challenge of sort. The first issue here is that you will learn nothing. There is outrageously and absolutely nothing to learn from this anime - even from its main theme alone - starting at episode 1 till it ends. The second issue is that while you will learn nothing about farming, you will instead learn that you can blatantly reused others shows ideas, and what's more, without makinganything of it. This ought to be the least creative a show can be.
If you're still bend to watch this show, keep it up. Maybe you could find something to see for yourself that I just couldn't. There are *actually* some good points starting with the soft pace, some good comedic aspect and the solid world around the characters.
But basically, to me this anime ressembles one of the main character's powers : it didn't have to use seeds. Instead, it run with others ideas to grow a tasteless show.

SEASONAL ISEKAI, LET'S GO!!! Thanks papa anime, I'll just slurp up the low effort media right now. It's not bad, but it's also not good. The animation is fluid, but zero flash. The character detail is slightly below average, but the backgrounds are good. Characters are likeable, but the same average characters you'd find anywhere else. Little to no depth, but hEy! ThEy GeT uP tO sOmE hIjInKs! The story is... or rather isn't. It just isn't. The story is barren and directionless, but seems pretty consistent at the very least. Pacing is fair, never exciting, but enough to some how keep this show fromgetting boring. Voice acting is bad. It's has average at best casting, but the performances are dead at times and generally uninspiring. The soundtrack is actually good! Unfortunately the op and ed are painfully average and easily forgotten. Overall it's just kind of a average anime. It's chill I guess, but uninspired and underwhelming. Not really worth anyone's time unless they can't find anything to watch or just want to stare blankly into a screen for a little while. 5.10/10

Isekai Nonbiri Nouka was a series I picked up because it seemed laid-back and cozy. And on that front it certainly delivered. While I can’t call it an outstanding series, I have to admit my partner and I enjoyed ourselves just fine with this anime. This series does not have a particularly original set-up, but at least it’s another notch on the wheel of isekai niches. The premise of Isekai Nonbiri Nouka is simple and if you want to watch something that doesn’t require braincells, it works. It’s just a slice-of-life series with an overpowered main character interested in making a farming community. I am unfamiliarwith the source material, so perhaps the light novel has more substance.
Either way, the atmosphere is good and delivers on being nice and relaxed. Nothing bad happens and the story doesn’t turn “epic”. All conflicts are avoided due to plot reasons and that seems like a very deliberate choice.
The pacing is a bit quick and sometimes events happen or get resolved so fast that it feels things are left out. Details are glossed over quite often. There isn’t nearly as much time to explore various characters and their relationships as I had hoped, but I suspect the source material does do this. I’m disappointed there were no references to romance or sexual activity at all despite such things being bound to happen considering the situation the main character is in, but at least there were no fanservice shots whatsoever, which I am grateful for. This series is in fact cleaner than most kids’ shows.
Many things in Isekai Nonbiri Nouka happen because the author wants them to happen. There is no logic behind these victories for the main character, they just magically occur. It’s all very easy. But I feel that that’s not really the point of the show. It’s a feel-good kind of show that’s all about escapism. There is nothing wrong with that per se, but as a result I would struggle to call this series anything even remotely resembling a masterpiece. That said, if you go in knowing what to expect it really isn’t so bad.
The voice acting and sound effects are fine. The visuals on the other hand can be a bit simple and cute in a way that screams budget reasons. Backgrounds/environmental shots and shots of produce on the other hand are quite good.
Either way, Isekai Nonbiri Nouka has a good atmosphere and delivers on staying laid-back and cozy. If you need that in your life right now, this anime might be just what you’re looking for.

Very interesting anime to be honest. I wasn't expecting much but it was a great anime with a gripping and funny story. The family that the MC surrounds himself with are all very unique and a joy to watch I found myself laughing at how terrified everyone was when learning who was occupying the village. Would have been nice to see the gods more as they have one scene at the beginning of episode 1 and then again at the end of another episode but only briefly which was a shame as it was rather enjoyable. The world progression was a great touch the scenes wherethey showed the before and after everyone had migrated to the village was nice and to be able to watch as the farms and buildings get built definitely helped with the immersion.
Would love to see another season definitely after the last episode of season 1!

I was spoiled by farming Slice-of-Life anime that was much better than this excuse of entertainment title. This one has almost nothing, the protag is doing nothing but farming, no crop failures nor is he uninitiated in certain activity, just nothing and he is going nowhere outside the ditch marking the village boundary. In that it reminds me of The Sims 1, in which the game is entirely within a household. No spontaneous contest to break the monotony, no survey of fellow villagers in difficulty, just nothing. The nothing-burger don't stop there, camera don't even cut to outside of the village until halfway through the series,when it did the scene was a token visual confirmation of Quest-Completed screen. No other show is going so token patronizing about its story line, let alone story-line is not something this has. I wonder if the showrunner for this adaptation just "gave up" on this.

This show is basically the Minecraft Isekai and I am here for it! I loved the vibe that this show is giving, It's adorable, heartwarming, wholesome, and laid back. This show is mostly monologue like about 80% of the show is monologue, a lot of people might find a show like this boring but to be honest I think its one of the qualities that makes this show good and trust me it holds up. The story of this show is nothing complex, It's about a middle-aged guy who got sick and gets reincarnated by god in a different world with OP farming abilities and hestarts building a new society from scratch. The pacing might seem fast in some episodes and yes they are but I don't think you should worry about it because this show is very easy going and laid back, It's a slice of life anime so there really isn't much to talk about the story, It just goes with the flow.
The characters we're okay, there wasn't anyone who was super interesting, Most of them are woman though like about 80% of the characters are women from different races and even though this isn't a Harem anime I can understand why some people might consider it so, but worry not because all the goods are here! Elves, Dark Elves, Dragon's Vampire's, Demons, Beast women(furries), all the goodie girls are here so definitely a W lol. There wasn't much male characters aside from a few lizardmen, dwarves and merchants that were shown and the MC. The MC himself isn't really different from most Isekai MC's just a plain guy who loves farming(also he's OP, ofc he is) He hasn't went down the Harem route yet which makes me happy, I don't mind harem but vanilla shows like this are my go to so I'm glad.
The animation was pretty good it wasn't anything special but it's great, The character designs we're nice and cute I loved the chibi stuff that they did and the "goods" we're there so no complaints at all in here lol.
Overall I highly recommend this show, It's a very easy going and laid back show that you could just relax in while watching.

Many people might consider this anime to be just ordinary in terms of graphics, story, music, etc., but for some reason, i find that the story might not be very unique and feels somewhat predictable. However, that doesn’t diminish my enjoyment. I had already read the manga long before the anime aired, so I have a strong emotional connection to the story. While many might consider the graphics ordinary, I feel that the art style fits well with the narrative. For some reason, I still find beauty in its visuals. I believe the characters are quite complex, having both strengths andflaws. They aren’t just strong or smart; they possess traits that make them feel more human and relatable.
I see that the characters react realistically to various situations. This authenticity helps me connect more with them and the overall story.
I think others might have mixed opinions. Some might find it less engaging due to its predictability, but for fans of the genre or those who share a similar history with the manga, I believe they will find something valuable in this anime.
I really hope there will be a continuation of this anime, and if there is, I hope the quality remains the same, or even better than before.
That's all from me, thank you."

This is one of most laidback anime ever. it's rare to see this isekai anime with very laidback story progression and character development. i was dumbfounded that this anime truly relaxing to watch. at first episode my mind thought gonna be isekai with the most action with farming related, actually it's the opposite. a lot of farming and village with a lot of character coming to the village. after finishing this anime, this surely the most character progression anime so far. (for me) absolutely recommended for those who want to watch relaxing and with less action anime. good for chilling and watch together. 10/10

It's a pretty chill anime and honestly in the middle of the show i got bored a little ! at first it was fun to see the male lead and his upcoming struggles but later this becomes a slice of life ! the comedy is there but it's like sprinkles and the other characters are just there ! as the plot progress they just exists ! all in all it's a pretty decent light hearted anime ! it's not great but not that bad !well i started this anime to see harem ! i mean can you blame me there only ladies in main character'slife mostly and plus some where i saw harem tag on this ! but my expectations were shattered ! forget harem there is not even romance ! i mean not shown correctly so it's a major disappointment! anyways for me it's - 5.7 /10 stars !

"Isekai Nonbiri Nouka" is a cozy show that captures the essence of its light novel source. The story follows protagonist Machio Hiraku who, after being reincarnated, wishes for a solitary farming life and is granted a multi-tool for farming that can magically change shape. The core comfiness of the story is still present, despite the difference in the direction from the original source. Visually, the anime tends to be generic, with various otherworldly fantasy settings and races like elves and dwarves. However, the animation is done satisfactorily, at a quality level that Zero-G studio has kept for the past few years. As a harem show, the numerousgirls introduced in this adaptation offer chances for a variety of voice actresses to join the cast, which adds to the vibrant and relaxing atmosphere of the story. However, the author padded out the harem with quantity rather than quality.
The main selling point of "Isekai Nonbiri Nouka" is its relaxing and soothing slice-of-life aspect, which dominates the whole season. While it might not be for everyone, it expresses the joy of the farming life the protagonist is living.
Overall, "Isekai Nonbiri Nouka" manages to wrap up a good story arc within the season it aired. It might not receive recognition, considering its niche theme. But, it is worth checking out for those interested in the adaptation to read the source material.

I randomly came across Isekai Nonbiri and decided to check it out. It turned out to be way better than I expected. The art and animation are decent, though there are a bit too many characters to keep track of. However, the cuteness of this isekai stands out and makes it very different from what you'd normally expect in the genre. The story follows a typical isekai premise, but it takes a refreshing turn with its lighthearted and adorable approach. The characters are charming and bring a sense of warmth and relaxation, which is a nice change from the usual high-stakes adventures and intense battles oftenfound in isekai anime.
The animation quality is solid, with vibrant colors and fluid movements that bring the world to life. Despite the large cast, each character has a distinct personality and design, which helps in keeping them memorable even if there are many to follow.
Overall, Isekai Nonbiri is a delightful watch for anyone looking for a cute and cozy isekai experience. It may not be the most groundbreaking series, but it offers a pleasant escape with its charm and endearing moments.

I am about to finish my 7th re-watch, and I feel like I need to write a review: The show is a very relaxing slice of life, with some tense moments and a strong sense of progression. There are cliches, but there's no shortage of original things either (I won't be a spoiler, but some are very unusual for anime). Characters are well written, not very deep, but consistent, and their growth is always achieved with few very effective skits, which is way more difficult to do than using long (boring) narratives. The only weakness is the main art style (the one you see in covers) whichis very generic, however, there is also a stylized one (used for explanations or comedic skits) which is impressively good and gives a lot of personality to the show.
To conclude, maybe because I grew up in the countryside, maybe because as a kid I was always off building some playhouse with scraps, this anime really has a special vibe, something unique that I haven't found anywhere else.

“Farming Life in Another World” is what happens when a farming simulator hits You harder than a certain golden bent baseball bat. It’s a slice of life isekai with mostly a very calm and almost relaxing vibe bordering on being an Iyashikei in a few places. Meet Hiraku Machio, the man who died, no surprises there, it is an isekai. Surprisingly not by truck-kun, which already scores a point in my book, but by sickness. All his life Hiraku had health problems and a weak body and he died at age 39 because of it. After his soul left the mortal coil, he met God,who admitted to Hiraku that his shitty life was a result of a mistake. Hoping to atone for his mistake God gives Machio a new life with a choice of what kind of life he would like.
Hiraku wishes to become a farmer because of a show he saw when he was bedridden in a hospital. Whatever gets the theme going I guess… still it’s a dumb motivation. As a bonus God gives him a special tool to help him with his new endeavour.
The rest of the cast really doesn’t matter. It’s 99,9% busty, attractive, young women of different races. A pleasant surprise is that this show isn't a harem. At least not in the classic sense. Yes, the main hero is surrounded by beautiful women. Yes, it’s obvious that most of them would gladly ride the MC till kingdom come, but our hero is in a relationship from before the harem starts forming and it doesn’t seem he plans to have any other love interest.
Like most Slice of life anime this one doesn’t have a main goal, it’s just Hiraku and his daily grind as a farmer and later as the mayor of his very own village. Surprisingly, watching his life is pretty enjoyable. The show doesn’t deviate from its focus and mostly just adds more work for the MC and shows how he adapts to it.
If I were to identify the main thing that rubs me the wrong way with the plot it would be that Hiraku doesn’t really make bad decisions. Despite being in an alien world, not knowing anything about it, and sometimes being the butt of the joke because of it, his decisions always have a positive outcome. There is very little room for him to grow as a character thanks to that. Don’t get me wrong, he does grow but in a very superficial and sometimes lazy way.
Despite all that, the show got me hooked. It’s really enjoyable and watching Hiraku do things that the natives of his new world see as impossible, easily makes for a good laugh in a few cases. I think it’s a good watch when You just want to chill and watch something a little bit slower without the whole “save the world” bs.
