If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, In Another World with My Smartphone is available in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll right now. The 2-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Katsumi Fukuhara's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Crunchyroll.

There is a reason In Another World with My Smartphone keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in In Another World with My Smartphone land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Touya Mochizuki was accidentally killed, and as an apology, God allows him to be reborn in a fantasy world and will grant him any one wish he desires. And so, Touya chooses to keep his smartphone in the next world. In his second chance at life, he befriends many important figures and comes across the world's secret. The chemistry Katsumi Fukuhara and Marika Kouno bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. The series ran for 2 seasons (2017–2023), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. In Another World with My Smartphone earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

In Another World with My Smartphone is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have already watched TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy-, In Another World with My Smartphone is a natural next step. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Katsumi Fukuhara's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
