My First Impressions: It's definitely not your typical guy-ends-up-in-fantasy-world, and it's a good pacing, covering about a month in only 3 episodes. The art and animation aren't great, but not too bad, and annoying characters aren't around for long or don't stay annoying for long, since the story moves on relatively quickly. Definitely has potential. <continuing for now>
