Instead of just another mediocre isekai, this is a culinary isekai, a series that works as a fantasy but also as a cooking show. The animation is done by MAPPA Studio. While the show was being aired, I saw some videos on Facebook showing how some of the cooking scenes were created by rotoscoping, and the result is incredible. The food preparation has great detail, especially in the scenes where meat is being cut. The dishes themselves look scrumptious, too. Plus, if you imagine that the meat from the orc is basically pork, the cockatrice is actually chicken, and so on, you might even get some inspiration for tomorrow's lunch. Anyway, I recommend eating something while watching, because this show will whet your appetite. However, it's not just the cooking that I enjoyed, the characters were great, too. There’s only one hero and his two monsters, but as a kind of lovely dysfunctional family, they had great chemistry and kept me entertained. In general, the atmosphere is sweet and lighthearted. Horror is only experienced by the monsters that end up on the plate. Honestly, after the first episode, I didn't even think I would enjoy a series where the main character's supernatural ability makes it possible for him to log on to "Amazon" in a fantasy world, and even get instant delivery. As the title suggests, the ability is absurd, almost to the point of being silly, but it's also very original. Not to be overly uncritical, I didn't enjoy the storyline about the goddesses very much. I didn't find it half as funny as the creators intended it to be. In general, some of the jokes were too repetitive. However, these minor flaws didn’t spoil my overall impression, so I’m not going to go below 8/10 and I would love to give it another watch sometime in the future.
