Isekai Foodie Roadtrip Anime Coming from EMT Squared

EMT Squared has announced their next project: an anime adaptation of 'The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Roadtrip in Another World.' This series promises a culinary journey through another realm, with Sora Tokui and Yūki Ono leading the cast. If the title is anything to go by, we're in for a blend of fantasy adventure and, well, food. I'm always a bit skeptical when a show centers on something as mundane as cooking, especially in isekai, but sometimes these things can surprise you with their charm.

It's not exactly the kind of dramatic fare I usually gravitate towards, but there's something to be said for a well-executed slice-of-life or adventure series that doesn't rely on constant high stakes. If EMT Squared can bring some genuine heart and maybe a few laughs to this food-centric tale, it might be more than just background noise. I’m not expecting a profound emotional journey, but perhaps a pleasant distraction with some decent animation. Don't hold your breath for any deep character development, though.

Still, the fact that they’re putting these actors in the lead roles suggests they’re taking it somewhat seriously. I'll reserve judgment until I see more, but the idea of a saintess with a food obsession exploring a new world… it’s quirky enough to pique my interest, even if I’d never admit I’m looking forward to it. It’s just… another anime.
