Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku

(light spoilers) This anime had a good start and finish but was a bit inconsistent. It's quite funny and made me laugh at loud while watching but when the tone gets serious its less enjoyable. Some fights really dragged and it was hard to worry about character deaths with how many times they've been teased and there also being a revive spell. I didn't care for when the story focused away from the main cast because it's strength lied in gags and became a bit bland when the tone shifted. The character dynamics were most enjoyable and what kept me watching until the end. I wanted to see Saito find fulfillment and get closer with Raelza. Morlocks antics were really funny and he'd be the best character if he wasn't a bit creepy. Lafa turned out to be nice though we barely focused on her. Also appreciated how we didn't have a typical overpowered isekai protagonist, though he wasn't strong he made himself useful. I'd say it's worth a watch if you want a laugh and it differentiates itself enough from typical isekai but not rlly a must see. If they make a second season I'll probably tune in.

Somewhat interesting premise which ended up underdeveloped and unexplored. This seems to be the trend recently, animate whatever to pass the time and dare not come up with a unique story that goes somewhere. Characters were very good. Well designed and acted. Animation was decent as well. There's nothing really wrong with this show other than its lack of individuality. So I'd say it's worth a watch, even though you stand to gain nothing other than few hours of acceptable entertainment. If you've seen other issekai this season (and years really), you've seen this one as well. Nothing new has been brought to the table.

Quick note, the first few episodes are split into a bunch of different segments (like Kaguya) but that's mostly being done to introduce us to the characters, some people obviously won't be a fan of this but you're genuinely missing out if you skip this gem of an isekai. With that said here are some few reasons to watch this anime (very minor spoiler alert): ‣ Nepo cleric joins the hero's party, female wizard drugs him to get some hero alone-time and turned out cleric was faking it the whole time and livestreams the whole thing out of pure spite for pretty people ‣ An arc about finding an old man's dismembered dick would literally be one of the best arc in isekai's history ‣ Grandpa Wizard deep throat a mushroom while a female knight says no fair and waiting for her turn ‣ Old King being a former Hero went off for a short walk and came back with the new Demon Lord's head like he's just picking up a friend If you're burned out on the same overpowered-teenager-with-a-harem isekai formula, this one actually breaks the mold. The MC is an adult who acts like one, smart, resourceful, using real skills instead of some broken cheat power, and letting his allies handle the flashy fights while he pulls his own weight in support. It's rare to find an isekai that respects competence over raw power fantasy. Go watch it, you'll have a genuinely good time and laugh a ton. It delivered for me, it'll deliver for you.

This show is a bit of a mixed bag, structurally. It effectively composes the best aspect of segmented slice-of-life comedy anime like Nichijou and Azumanga with the specific Isekai handyman premise of the namesake. The season may feel disjoined or unmotivated at first, but by the end of the first episode the series begins to catch its stride. There is a more focused plot thread that takes up the majority of the season, but it takes two episodes before we begin to see the show follow this thread. For that reason, it is a hard recommendation despite the quality of the show. There are plenty of funny jokes such as the unit of measurement, in which context is key for the punchline. The show manages to effectively convey these little tidbits of the world in such a way that it feels believable. This is despite the fact that the premise itself is kinda unbelievable, that a handyman would be more valuable in an era where more people would have more generic handyman skills. That is a minor gripe and kind of the same gripe that people have with most Isekai where the individual takes advantage of knowledge over power, that oftentimes the utility of their knowledge is overblown and makes the people of the society look like flat NPCs for the sake of making the MC look smart. Despite this, that's really the only negative I can think of to genuinely gripe with. The pacing of the show might be stilted for the first episode, but you get used to it quickly and the entire show becomes a joy. I recommend if you are looking for a fun, lighthearted show.

My expectation was low starting the show. I was just trying a few relaxed Anime. But it was actually pretty good. I feel like those who had too much expectation are the ones disappointed in the Anime. You can't expect every anime to be the serious story type. Sometimes you need a refresher of some sort. This Anime Started as a simple anime but soon as i got to know the charter's i liked it better.(Though some characters are annoying) But the ending doesn't leve you with any empty feelings. Only for 12 episode you get alot of enjoyment. This isn't your like great Anime. But one that's pretty good. So watch it when you're bored and want something refreshing.

Well it was fun enough. it's certainly in my journey of Isekai nonsense one of the most interesting stories from a narrative perspective. It's not *super* unique but I didn't come to this genre for a bunch of super unique and unexpected things. I came here for masturbatory wish fulfillment that wasn't so cringe I turn it off and go cry. Let's just that this was neither which an interesting feeling. This is a vignette anime. I didn't even know this was a thing. The story is at times frustratingly opaque as it will stop randomly for an extended vignette that may or may not be relevant. Some of them give interesting and insightful insight into characters that Saitou meets. Some of them are extended setups for jokes you might or might not find funny. I've only seen a few of these shows and I'm already starting to see the tropes and Saitou kinda swerve on some of the problematic ones. He doesn't get so powerful it's boring. He doesn't get into a weird harem situation. He's just a handyman and the anime does a solid job of really playing with that premise in ways that *just* kept me interested in spite of how frustrated I would get watching a random vignette when I just wanted to know what happens next. The characters are fine. Saito is basically a bland main character with Mario Stats. Even temperament. Even skills. His entire character is just easy going. Raelza is the love interesting and it's a typical anime girl love interest. She's shy for cultural reasons. Worried her skills might make her unattractive in this case her bulky build, kinda. But at least she looks like and is an adult so yay. Lafanpan is the "other" character. A tiny fairy whose gold greedy for good reasons. She's mostly a champion of the relationships and supports people with magic the way Saito supports the team emotionally. Then we have Morlock who is our character with a mysterious past. He's basically the pervert character but he can turn it on when the fighting gets rough. So kinda Master Roshi from Dragonball. There's decent development for the main characters (most of them) and for a handful of the many sidecharacters. Does every challenge get solved easily? Maybe. But is it boring to watch them? not really. The vignettes, as frustrating as they sometimes are, do keep you engaged enough. And so few of them are duds. I recommend it as an Isekai but one series in I feel you can find better anime. It's pretty good for anime-isms though. It might make a decent on boarding show. There's only a touch of nudity and it's not too cringe. There are a few dick jokes. They're charming enough to laugh at.

As with all sitcoms, it depends heavily on your personal tastes. But for me? But for me? This show is precisely what I've always wanted in an isekai: one that's designed after actual MMOs. Not the stories in an MMO, but the experience of actually playing one with other people. It's the usual Japanese-person-transported-to-MMO-like-setting, but instead of the usual premise of that the protagonist either being superpowered or having a particular superpower, the protag in Handyman is just... straight-up not good at fighting. No climactic magical boon, no 'minor' ability that turns out life-saving, just a consistently weak protag. Because he's not a fighter, he's a handyman. And not like a super amazing one at that, just an ordinary modern-educated handyman. He's the support character in a party of four. Meanwhile, all the supporting cast - all the supporting cast - feel like they're from a genuine MMO. None of this "Everyone's an ordinary character except the protag's best friend". Everyone's design is intended to be distinct, but not flashy, and somewhat stereotypical. Meanwhile meanwhile, the whole tone encapsulates what it's like to play an MMO with friends. It isn't about slaying a big bad evil or trying to become famous, but also isn't about characters that barely get along, like Konosuba or Don't Hurt Me My Healer. It's about actual friends aimlessly adventuring in a way that real friends do. (I say, but I also have the other two as 10/10s too). ...Also, it's a sitcom. I love sitcoms.

I'd say this is well above average in terms of quality isekai series. I generally dislike it when an isekai with a ridiculous premise, such as this one, gets serious, but somehow, I wasn't overly bothered by it here. The plot of this show is pretty much right there in the title. A handyman, named Saitou, ends up being transported to a fantasy world; he joins a party of adventurers who’re exploring a dungeon. He’s good at picking locks, disarming traps, kinda fulfills the role of a rogue in general ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ terms, but without the stealthy backstabbing. I bring up D&D because I could definitely see this entire series being played out on a table-top. It felt like a really whacky campaign, designed by the world’s weebiest DM. For example, one of the biggest, plot-centric turn of events involves a Roomba. So, even when the anime is at its most serious, those bits were balanced out well with laughs and general silliness. It gets precarious, but not bogged down in a dark, depressing way. I really liked the cast of characters too. Saito’s party of adventurers includes a bad-mouthed fairy, a blushing maiden of a fighter, and a lecherous old wizard who can’t remember his own spells. Definitely reminds me of a D&D group generated with quirkiness in mind. Each of them gets a great backstory, some even having entire arcs dedicated to resolving their past conflicts (I cried during the wizard’s). Outside the main party, there’s also a really diverse group of side characters who add their own unique flavor to the show, and here is where I think the series really shines because they’re all so vastly non-standard, that you’re always in for something special when someone new shows up. Even the villains are given their own time to shine. This series was a delightful little piece of isekai popcorn, and I’m glad I stuck with it, even though the start was a bit rocky.

Finally an isekai with some quality writing. No harems. No OP MC with broken stats/skills. No slaves that need to be saved. No "becoming the strongest" like grand aims. Then, one might ask, what exactly is this? Setting Saitou is a handyman who was fired. When he was feeling that nobody needed him, he was summoned into an isekai. No magic or game like mechanics or broken skills. Just him and some tools on him. He joins with an adventurer party as support, and helps in picking the locks of loot chests. All he wants is to be reliable enough, so that he is needed and useful to someone. Anyway, from here, the story basically follows many different characters, slowly building up a plot. This feels more like Gintama where there's different people with different motivations, all coming together due to circumstances. The comedy is similar too, as there's a lot of gags and rely on some ridiculous quests like finding an old man's dick. Writing The best part of the anime is how all of the characters have their own stories and how all these fates connect across different arcs. The anime is made up small sub-episodes like saiki kusuo / nichijou. Usually its either a chapter that focuses on moving the plot forward or some random chapter for comedy. There is rarely any filler that feels like it is using cliches to pad an episode. The comedy is on point and the story moves at a fast pacing. The animation is also decent. It really starts going plus ultra during the action scenes. I will not say that this is the best anime ever. But in a world full of generic and trashy isekai harems, this is a special exception. There are a lot of wholesome vibes and the gintama like shift between comedy / action / drama keep things from getting boring. We need more anime that experiment like this instead of pumping out the same garbage every year.

This season had a number of Isekai's but nothing that much special to set them apart. I started this show without any high expectations but the show didn't disappoint. The story isn't something out of the world and it doesn't come close to being a top-tier Isekai. But, the show delivers and it's among the hidden gems of this season. The story is pretty simple. A guy named Saitou has found himself in another world. As a Handyman in his original world he felt he wasn't needed. But, here in this world, he is a part of an Adventuring Party and for the first time he started to feel like he is truly a part of something. We don't have an OP hero here, instead Saitou can be said to be the 'Brain' of this party. The party consists of a female knight (Raelza) , a moonlight fairy (Lafanpan) and finally a forgetful wizard (Morlock). Saitou plays various roles here from unlocking the treasures to helping Morlock-san to remind him his spells. The characters were fun to watch, specially Morlock. Their past and the character build-up was also praiseworthy. Here, we don't have any Demon Lord to defeat. Instead the party is out to explore the labyrinth. The overall vibe of the show is pretty refreshing. The Art is okay, it could have used more colors but it's alright. The comedy isn't anything special but it works. The same can be said about the side characters as well. They were pretty amusing. It was nice to see an Isekai which is a bit different. It felt a little sad since this show got totally overlooked without much attention. More people should give this Anime a try. Overall : 7/10.

Great Anime with its twelve episodes: P . Correct storytelling, which was not exaggerated like in most isekai. We got a main character who was not made into a god, he rather lives the adventure of a supporting character, and loves what he does. I also liked when he helped Morok with his spells! I liked the romance, I liked the characters, the team and the animation were also great, but even then Morok took the show in front of everyone :D . I laugh until I cry at his stupidity. :P Honestly, I can't say anything bad about the series! It's a comedy, but it still has its dramatic moments from time to time, with which you can easily have fun for 20 minutes. If anyone is looking for a good isekai, then watch this. 8/10 and if there is a sequel and the quality remains the same, or even gets better, then I'll even give it a 9.

A Handy man got Isekaied and now he's the party Rogue. Both the idea and characters are rather cute. I like that MC-kun doesn't go from zero to OP in the blink of an eye. Instead he just uses the same skills he had in a different setting while the other party members cover his flanks so to speak. Oddly enough the one to shine in this show was one of the side characters, Morlock the senile mage. My one critic is that around the midway point the sound is... odd. There is a high pitched sound in the background of the major fight scene that gave me such a headache. I honestly though I had tinnitus and paused the show a few time to check. Aside from that the show was cute and charming if a little basic. Overall a pleasant quick watch.

Handyman Saitou in Another World is an isekai that tried to be different from the usual "generic" stuff you'd expect from the genre but did it in a rather unique and out of the box way. My short reccomendation is, if you like slice of life mixed with comedy or character focused anime with a bit of comedy, or have watched and liked animes like Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Slime Diaries, or Encouragement of Climb this anime is probably for you. First let's hits things off with those FLAWS, you've gotta negative sometimes right? Jk. Let's start with the story and plot, because on the whole it's pretty simple and barebones. It's basically Saitou who worked as a handyman ends up in another world, and joins a party of eccentric adventuring individuals to be their "handyman", basically he just picks locks on chests and helps fix some of their gear. So if you wanted to watch this for the "handyman" part of it, they have it but it's pretty bare bones and not too much of the selling point or focus. There really isn't too much of a plot or story here because instead it focuses more on it's characters and comedy than anything else. I suppose the best way to put it is, here or there they'll make a short story/plot centered around a specific character that lasts for 1 or maybe 2 episodes and that's that. If you've seen Violet Evergarden (which you totally should if you haven't already), think of this like having the short character stories from some of it's episodes but without a larger plot or other things going on alongside it and in general the character stories not being not quite as good. On the whole the lack of more story and plot in this show is the biggest thing holding it back, however it still manages to be entertaining and a good watch despite that. Next let's get to those characters which is this show's biggest positive alongside, THE COMEDY!! The first 3-4 episodes is pretty much all comedy and nothing else. There's a bit of those character stories I mentioned coming in after that but there's still a lot of comedy mixed in with those too. The main 4 are pretty good characters and overall quite funny, especially Morlock. I kid you not this senile old man carries HALF the comedy in this show. Even when this show tries to be serious he's usually mixing comedy in with it. On the whole it makes the show pretty entertaining which is nothing but a good thing. Raelza on the whole is an alright character, it's obvious from episode 1 she has a crush on Saitou and while she does have more going for her character than that it's not the focus as much partly due to this shows use of comedy. Lafanpan is decently funny also but didn't have much else going for her. They tried to give her character some more depth around the 4th episode but they didn't go far enough in depth with her background and such to bring her up to par with the rest, maybe they can fix that if we get a second season. I mentioned Morlock earlier but he's not just carrying the comedy in this show, the man also has the most interesting backstory and more depth than any other character in this show, while also being the flattest piece of comedy in the entire show. Saitou himself is honestly pretty basic and flat compared to the other characters, he's not outright bad by any means but he could've used some more work and fleshing out. I wont talk too much about side characters but on the whole they're fine and fulfill their comedy jobs pretty well. Ahh my favorite part of this show, the production. C2C is back at it again and they simply don't miss, the art style is somewhat unique and is drawn more than well enough for this show. But the animation here is top notch, too good for this show even, C2C have pretty much always been slapping all the much larger and well known studios in the face by having far more detailed, expressive and fluid movement in everything they've animated. Heck, Moonlit Fantasy as an example, was an anime they'd worked on for it's first season and the animation quality went straight downhill when JC Staff took over for the 2nd season, even if they did the art well enough. So on the whole having C2C producing this has been nothing but a godsend for it's animation production quality, this studio never fails to impress me there. The voice acting is up to par for the standard you'd expect from anime, music and audio production are both very good, they're not anything top tier but they easily do the job. On the whole The Superb Senile Adventures of the Magnificent Magician Morlock, wait no, I meant Handyman Saitou in another world. It's a show that's very simple story wise, but overall quite entertaining and a worthwhile watch that'll probably give you a few laughs. It's nothing amazing and certainly doesn't go without is fair share of flaws and problems but it's very easy to recommend due to it's strengths and most would likely find this a good watch due to that 7/10.

I really wanted to like this anime. I really, really did. But as the series went on my opinion on Handyman Saitou in Another World drifted from a tentative Recommended, past a confused Mixed Feelings, all the way down to a solid and disappointed Not Recommended. The viewer gets dropped into this world without context or background information. From the way events progress it’s also clear that this doesn’t matter – you’re just along for the ride. Things will make more sense as the series progresses, but you have to get there first. So the series has a unique plot pacing and episode set-up. Each episode consists of several mini-episodes, some of which are connected in an arc of sorts, while others are just loose pieces. While refreshing, this also made it very difficult for me to get into this anime. What made this whiplash worse is that some (mini-)episodes are very good, while others are very bad. Often, there is a massive tone switch within the same episode multiple times. There is no consistency and this really bothered me. While overall the series tries to go for a cozy dungeon exploration isekai vibe, it mixes up things in the blink of an eye – a cozy scenario has sudden gore, we go from humor to serious moments without a pause, and their attempt at romance gets interrupted by ridiculous events. You’re constantly being catapulted from one extreme to another. Now, the series is not without its merits. It has an interesting party composition and there are plenty of quirky side characters. Especially Morlock and Lafanpan are cool characters with a lot of charm in their own way. The characters and their interactions really drive the series, even though not everyone is really all that interesting. The worst offender of them all, however, is the main character Saitou. He’s bland, boring and generic. Either way, what got me to not recommend this series in the end was a childish insistence on some sort of retrieve-a-dick quest and the constant unwarranted gore. None of it was funny nor did it make much sense. It ruined the cozy vibe they had been aiming for. I felt surprised at every turn while watching this series, but near the end I just felt deceived instead. This series could have been great with its unconventional episode structure and focus on short, bite-sized chunks of entertainment. A different anime that did this well, for example, is Way of the Househusband. Unfortunately, Handyman Saitou in Another World doesn’t even reach the standard of mediocrity. It’s a failed experiment gone wrong.

Watched it in one day, really enjoyed it. This anime has a fitting short story format, besides the 2-3 larger arcs being fully connected. The anime has a very fun group of 4 along with several comrades and acquaintances chiming in occasionally. Saito is a simple isekai character who does his best to be useful, and as a handyman with his tools from Earth, he is really damn good at being handy in a fantasy sword/armor/magic setting. Saito is a really satisfying protagonist in all cases despite having no combat talent, as his brains and assistance to the team are more than essential. In the end, he is often the one who shines brightest. The art style of the show is consistently fine, the plot is enjoyable, and the humor of the show is fun with a balance between mature and immature(often dirty) writing. Despite being a fantasy setting, these people are still definitely people. Lastly, not all the characters have the best character development, but the anime did a great job nonetheless with what mattered most. Genuinely a fun and enjoyable 12 episodes, 9.3/10 I have no idea if a sequel would work, maybe a few OVAs or something with extra content would be best? Another season would definitely need to add a decent number of characters, and fitting them in would be rough. Idk what the manga content is like, I do see it doesn't have a good rating though

"HANDYMAN SAITOU IN ANOTHER WORLD" Genre- Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Isekai Not having people appreciate you for the work that you put in always makes us feel underwhelmed and demotivated. From slogging around day and night to getting that little bit of appreciation from others, we have Saitou, whose life miserably ended on Earth, and he got Isekai-ed to another world filled with adventures, deaths, and other crazy frenzies. Saitou acts as a handyman for his group of adventurers who explore the labyrinth, killing many bosses, looting treasure chests, and diving deep into the unknown of this mysterious tower. But unlike his life on Earth, where he was just another replaceable handyman, Saitou feels fulfilled and more at peace here. From helping the team carry their weapons, learning the magical recitals, and taking on the odd repair tasks right now, Saitou explores a whole new way of living and enjoying his life. The anime starts on the spur of the moment, and for the first two episodes, it lacks a definite story and focuses more on the introduction of characters. And although the first two episodes might not hold your interest, the main story that begins afterward is something that is absolutely a must-watch. From fighting greater demons to unjustified deaths and battles, this anime highlights the cruelty and reality of labyrinths. With insane animations that follow the fighting scenes, this is one anime that you must definitely watch if you are into adventure. This anime is recommended for every "ADVENTURE" anime lover.

This show became a great Isekai by the end of the season. It’s hard to say it was very good in the beginning. At about the halfway mark I would’ve been comfortable giving it only a 5 due to pacing, approach to characters, and seemingly disjointed storytelling. However, in the second half of the season there was a drastic improvement in each of those areas of concern. By the end there were no real deficiencies and this became a show that is worth getting excited about if we get another season. The writers/producers made sure the show never took itself too seriously, making plenty of penis jokes and references, even making a whole episode about a penis. It poked fun at social media/streaming/reality TV. But it did those things and still gave you a fairly legit story in the Isekai genre. Isekai is by no means my favorite genre, but I’ve seen quite a few now and I’d have to say this is one of the better ones out there. I definitely recommend though be wary the first half of the season is difficult.

tl;dr benriya is isekai done right, with enough enjoyable content to fully fill a season. 7/10 Jesus there is a lot of isekai this season but I think Benriya is probably going to be one of the best, if not the best, isekais of this winter. Arranged mostly as a collection of short stories and vignettes, Benriya Isekai manages to deliver both an interesting main plot as well as plenty of good side stories, character shorts and other development, all in a single package. Applause all around. The best way I could describe this show is as if someone took a serialized comic strip and turned it into an anime. We start out relatively slow-paced with character introduction shorts and general world-building, before diving into a more serious plotline around the center of the season. While there is humor throughout, it is definitely more pronounced in the more lighthearted start and end of the season. Saitou and his friends, the main characters, are oddities. A mage who can't remember spells, a female knight, a miserly fairy. This all sets up for some funny times as they go about adventuring inside and outside the "dungeon." But even the side characters aren't left behind. Even though they don't get the same treatment as the main characters, we get to see at least their background and general personalities through the flashbacks that are sprinkled throughout the show. And the best part is that these flashbacks don't even seem out of place in the general course of the show due to how most of the content is organized. There was honestly not a moment in this show that I found boring or unenjoyable. While not game-changing enough to warrant an 8 or 9 for me, Benriya Isekai clocks in at a much-deserved 7 and is certainly a must-watch for isekai enjoyers and honestly most general anime viewers as well. p.s. forgot to give the good ole 3 pillar comparison: OP MC? Nope. Tycoon? Nope. Harem? Nope? Nope. Passes with flying colors for reasons noted above.

An anime that gives your snippets of meat, and tie it altogether into a glorious buffet. Props go to the writers!! They cut out all the extra crap and give you the important bits, which at the time just feel like a slice of life from the prospective of various, random, people in this other world full of magic, monsters and dungeons. The vast majority of these snippets are centered around the Main Character and his party. But then once all the characters come together and the story, that's been building in the background comes to light, your mind is blown!! I watched a few episodes here and there just for something to have on in the background, thinking it was some slice of life piece, but once things started heating up my focus shifted drastically. Definitely gonna look for more from this writer!!

Handyman Saitou-san is a really good anime. C2C keeps releasing bangers and I'm falling more and more in love with this studio. The first time I heard about them was with Majo no Tabitabi. I haven't watched that anime yet but it's on my list. Last fall though, Reincarnated as a Sword aired and it was very pleasant. I didn't enjoy it as much as this one but it was still pretty good. The production values for Handyman Saitou-san however are out of the roof. The animation is consistently amazing, much superior to that of Reincarnated as a Sword. Setting the studio quality aside, Saitou-san is just really fun. What stood out to me at first was how hilarious the show is. The first 4 episodes of the anime take a skit-like approach, taken from the 4-koma manga style of the source material. And thus there are multiple 4 or 5 minute long sections per episode focusing on a specific topic. These 4 episodes introduce us to the main characters but also to several other side characters, in comedy filled situations. After we've been acquaintanced to these characters, the following episodes reunite all of them in a dungeon and increase the stakes, transforming the hilarious sketch formula into a series of dangerous and emotional battles. The comedy isn't entirely discarded, there are plenty of funny moments here and there, but it's noticeable that it was sidelined for the focus of plot progression. We'll see touching character backstories and deep motivations and goals, I just love how they managed to turn the first comedic episodes into a serious battle anime and suceed at doing it. There are a lot of dirty jokes in this anime, I think that should be noted. There are way too many jokes involving penises and naked characters, and if that's something that bothers you it might be better to avoid this anime, but at the end of the day it didn't bother me or affect my enjoyment at all. The one thing that did bother me though were some plot inconsistencies. I won't get into big spoilers, but the dungeon arc I mentioned earlier had several characters looking for some artifacts seemingly. At the end of the arc they changed that into a magician. If you watch the anime it does make sense what I'm saying, as a magician does show up but the artifacts are completely forgotten about by every character. There's another instance in the last arc, but I won't talk about it because they're some heavy spoilers. Anyway, I really enjoyed Handyman Saitou-san. The animation is great, the comedy is phenomenal, the characters, both main and side characters, are all very appealing and well written, and the plot manages to entertain us while shifting between episodic skit-like content and serious, emotional battle anime with interesting villains. So at the end of the day, Hanydman Saitou-san is a 9/10 for me.
