Didn't actually think we would be going between the two worlds. I think the last anime I watched that featured something like that was Sasaki P-chan. I think Salad Bowl could have been that if they used the portal more.

Saving 80,000 Gold for my Retirement and Gate also have characters travelling between worlds as well.

Shame that they can't bring guns and tanks here like in 80,000 gold

Outbreak Company is another two-way isekai, but the Japanese government in that setting brought over something more dangerous than guns or tanks.

Yep, seen that. The poster child though is good ol GATE

Its “turn your brain off” fun. There are a lot of smart ideas that you don’t often see elsewhere. I’d suggest reading the light novels as they’re not only officially available in English (digitally) but finished too.

It's OK. It isn't in my top 100, but I gave it 8/10. Enjoyable, not a must-watch, but it's a pretty original isekai concept, for what that's worth.

It's a fun concept that doesn't feel pushed further enough.

To much resting on promoting Gifu prefecture

I think I am going to like this a LOT more than those other back-and-forth between worlds shows. This just feels better somehow -- so far.

That would be the silver-haired elf waifu.

Welcome to Japan, Elf Lady.....

This is one of the few series that manages to make both worlds interesting. Usually one of the two (usually Earth) just ends up playing second fiddle, so whenever it switches it's just annoying more than anything.

There was an anime last year where the dude had inherited a house in the other world and would travel back and forth between em, and it was one of the worst power fantasy animes you could think of with every cliche

EDIT: It was Isekai Cheat Skill
