Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai [Season 1 Episodes 1-3]

Alright, let’s dive into Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai (or Isekai Office Worker: The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter for those who prefer the long title). This anime is like if The Office and Sword Art Online had a love child, but instead of fighting monsters, they’re fighting spreadsheets. And yes, there’s BL—more on that later.

First off, the premise is pretty fresh. Seiichirou Kondou, a 29-year-old corporate slave (relatable, right?), gets isekai’d during a holy maiden summoning. Instead of being the hero, he’s just… an accountant. The kingdom of Romany is a financial mess, so he uses his real-world accounting skills to fix their budget. Think: Excel formulas saving a fantasy realm. Fans on MyAnimeList are loving the “fantasy country administration” vibe—no stats, no levels, just good old-fashioned number crunching. One user even compared it to Parallel World Pharmacy but with spreadsheets instead of potions.

Now, the animation. Let’s be real—it’s not Demon Slayer levels of flashy. Some viewers called the visuals “cheap,” but others think it’s serviceable. The focus is on the story, not the eye candy, which is fine by me. The voice acting, though? On point. Fans are raving about how the voices match their manga expectations.

The BL element is where things get spicy. Seiichirou and Aresh, a knight, have this slow-burn tension. Some viewers were shocked when the ending credits revealed it’s a BL anime—like, “Wait, this isn’t just a buddy comedy?” But most are here for it. Comments range from “Finally, a BL with actual plot!” to “I’m staying for the accounting, but the gay vibes are a bonus.” There’s even a debate about the 14+ rating—will it stay PG, or get steamier? Manga readers say it’s mostly implied, so no explicit scenes (sorry, thirsty fans).

Critics? Well, some find the accounting boring. One user called it a “hard sell” and dropped it. Others hate BL and dipped immediately. But hey, you can’t please everyone. The biggest complaint is the pacing—some say it’s rushed, but others love how quickly it gets to the good stuff.

Overall, Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai is a cozy, underrated gem. It’s not for everyone, but if you love office comedies, fantasy politics, or slow-burn BL, this is your jam. Just don’t go in expecting epic battles—unless you count a well-executed pivot table as a battle.

P.S. If you’re new to BL, fans recommend Given or Sasaki to Miyano as starters. But this one’s a solid pick too—no prior BL experience needed. Just bring your calculator and an open mind.

Rating: 7/10. Worth a watch for the unique premise and charming characters. 🌟
