Anime : BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.

New anime started from Jan/2020.
Animated from a light novel, and the abbreviation of the long title is "Bofuri".
It is a so-called "ISEKAI TENSEI" story that has become a template, but in an environment where people can come and go from the real world. The story is about a girl who hates pain and whose defense power only increases with each level-up. The characters, including the main character, are mainly girls.
The production team includes SILVER LINK ("Non no Biyori"), director Onuma Shin(Kokoro Connect: Executive Director) and Minato MiraiMinato Mirai("Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World":Director), composition Shimo Fumihiko(NEW GAME!: Composition), and the voice casts are superb: Hondo Kaede("Zombieland Saga":Minamoto Sakura), Noguchi Ruriko("Uma Musume Pretty Derby": Sakura Chiyonoo), Hayami  Saori("The Irregular at Magic High School":Shiba Miyuki), Arai Satomi("A Certain Scientific Railgun ":Shirai Kuroko), Kakuma Ai("Jobless Reincarnation": Eris Boreas Greyrat), Ono Kensho("Kuroko's Basketball":Kuroko Tetsuya), Ishida Akira("Gintama":Katsura Kotaro), Sato Satomi("K-On!":Tainaka Ritsu), Taketatsu Ayana("K-On!":Nakano Azusa), Sato Rina("A Certain Magical Index":Misaka Mikoto), Yamaguchi Kappei("Ranma 1/2":Saotome Ranma), Minaguchi Yuko("YAWARA!":Inokuma Yawara), and others.
From the very first episode, it oozes a loose SEKAIKAN(worldview) that is very soothing.
I personally love "Kokoro Connect" (so much so that I would rank it in the top 3 anime I have watched in my lifetime), and just because the production and staff are members of the "Kokoro Connect" team, this work is a must-see this season.
