Hmm I feel like Ive heard of this anime before
Story
This anime follows the middleaged Kenichi Hamada. After being mysteriously transported into a different world Kenichi gains the ability of online shopping through the platform of ShangriLa. Being able to access what is pretty much the equivalent of Amazon Kenichi tries to live a peaceful and profitable life selling unique items and making the most out of his abilities.

Characters
Kenichi is pretty much your typical mature adult. Hes also pretty creative making the most out of his ability to access ShangriLa. In his journey he meets a few new friends. These include a very friendly business partner named Primula a very protective little girl called Anemone and two ferocious furry humancatlike hybrids named Myarre and Nyamena.

The Good
Im loving the inclusion of middleaged adults in fantasy worlds. Its a nice change compared to the usual child reincarnation anime. I found the anime to be very entertaining especially seeing how Kenichi would make the most out of ShangriLa and seeing how the other characters would react to the new creations and beasts that Kenichi summons out of nowhere. Hes also very straightforward cutting straight to the chase in many situations where doing so would be bold. I like it. He comes off as interesting rather than annoying when he does it too.

The Bad
As the show progressed I began to slowly dislike Kenichis romantic dynamics with the characters. I do like that they got through many of those scenes and storylines quickly but the inclusion of them didnt really contribute anything important or interesting to the story at all.

The Downright Ugly
I didnt find anything downright ugly with this anime.

Is It Worth The Watch?
Honestly I dont think this anime is necessarily worth watching. However if you do choose to watch it I dont think youd be super disappointed either. Its just a good show overall that isnt a mustwatch.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not If you already have watched it I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made.
