I Shall Survive Using Potions! - 1st time's a fluke, 2nd time's a borderline pass, and 3rd time's the charm? NOPE, this trend has finally ended here...

If you've been on the anime bandwagon for about 4-5 years now, you might have seen this Fall 2019 show called Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne! a.k.a Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!. Despite the rather lackluster premise and subpar production, it was a show where the simplicity of the fantasy Isekai reincarnation OP genre, by meandering away from many of its contemporaries at the time, it was a ...

The animations is nothing to write home about, the designs are ehh, and almost every aspect of the show points to it being another bland generic isekai, but there are a few distinct factors that make it a hidden gem in the isekai genre

Firstly is that the pacing is fucking insane

The show moves at a breakneck speed, new plot points are constantly being started as soon as the previous ones have ended and it's always going to new areas when old ones have gotten dull.

The tone kind of gets fucked in the process as dramatic scenes can be undercut with comedic ones and vice versa, ...

If you're looking for an action anime this is not it, its a very family friendly anime and is just a story about a girl who is blessed, she doesn't hesitate to help those in need.
Animation is decent, it isn't the best and can't be compared to similar anime's like Kobayashi dragon maid.
There are mostly happy moments in this anime and little to no stressful scenes. Very relaxing to watch and wholesome.

The MC, Kaoru has a really mean looking eye, she pretty much scares everyone she gets mad at, shes very smart and can even advise countries about taxes and she doesn't rely on people ...

I have a deep love for the Isekai genre as a concept, it can create interesting characters who have life experience who are thrust into new circumstances and must use their wisdom to overcome them. Unfortunately the Isekai genre has for some years now been plagued with lazy writing and tropes. I Shall Survive Using Potions! is one of these cases.

The power system which the show revolves around is allowing the main character to generate potions to survive the new fantasy world she finds herself in. However, she immediately manages to break the power system by creating potions in any shape and in any container ...

Isekai starring walking encyclopedia girl, who took the role of Savior to deliver us all, with potions to do some magics. If only she was not so insufferable, then it would be something better than just another mediocre isekai.

All conflicts look too artificial and constructed to obvious end-goal. Which is to push protagonist out of comfort zone, show how good she is and how effortlessly she can solve any problem, and then to force her to continue search for easy life. Absence of concrete targets or goals beside basic survival/money, no visible desire to make lasting human connections or find love - make skin-deep story ...

"NO SPOILER"

Basically the story is about a female MC who got killed by accident and gets reincarnated into Another World with the Op skill "create potions" and how she used this skilled to live and survive daily in this new world.

Pretty generic huh?

If you have read the synopsis you would've known that already, so you can ignore that lil info up top.

Generic intro aside.
So far it's ok, I actually look forward to watching it every week. I'm currently 5 episode in and it reminds me of the anime "Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement"

This anime is very bad. I gave it the opportunity to read the first 3 chapters and that's it. The good thing is that you can get there and stop watching it and I think it doesn't affect the perspective, since if you leave it there, it doesn't leave you with doubts and it ends as an ending and that's it.

Being someone who watches Isekai, but a good one and I enjoy watching relaxing animes. This one didn't catch my attention, if I want to see an isekai of this type, I'd better watch another generic one with better action. And I want to see ...

The Story follows the protagonist, who can make any potion and the bottom that comes with it at her will.

One of the standout aspects of the anime is Mariela's resourcefulness and intelligence. Mariela does not use brute force or magical powers, she use potions and her intelligence. Throughout the show she starts making bottle that should not be counted as bottles, however it makes you want to watch to see what she makes next. There is not a lot of action or push back for Mariela in this series.

This world is not as developed as most Isekai worlds. So even though she only make ...

This anime adaptation is an insult to Funa, who is the author of I Will Survive Using Potion, and I'm a huge fan of his books, especially I Will Survive Using Potion, both light novels and manga.

Why is it a huge disappointment you ask ? Here are the main points:

1) The graphics and the art design my god are horrible. Just wtf is this, especially Belle character? She looks like a koala, and why are they all having baby faces? This is unacceptable. It was so painful to watch that I dropped the anime on the 7th episode. I would rather watch a 1999 ...

This show is fine, just not good enough to make me want to watch anymore of it.

Plot:
Kaoru is an office worker (surprise, surprise) and one day, out the blue, she just up and dies because the god made an oopsie. The male god of the real world that accidentally killed Kaoru, has her go meet the goddess of the isekai world that she will be reincarnated to, and Kaoru asks for two things from the goddess, to look young, but old enough to be considered an adult, and the ability to make potions that can do whatever she wishes, and the bottles can also ...
