The young lady featured in Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement is my idea of a role model.
Yeah, it’s yet another isekai, but our hero isn’t trapped and can move freely back and forth between the fantasy world and our own. Result? Farm gold coins from the adventure for real-life cash. Oh, and bring a gun to the fantasy world.
Guns? I know, right! Feels like some unwritten rule has been broken. Wisely, so.
Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement is based on FUNA’s light novels, airs on the 7th of January and will be picked up by Crunchyroll.
The streaming platform has started to give pretty hefty synopsises, and here’s what they say about this one!
Mitsuha is an 18-year-old girl who’s often mistaken for a middle schooler due to her childlike face and small stature. The story begins when she loses her parents and her older brother at the same time in an accident and ends up all alone in the world.
She fails her university entrance exams due to the shock of losing her family. There are people who are after her parents’ insurance money. She doesn’t know whether she should go to college or start working. There are also lots of expenses to worry about, including living expenses and the cost of maintaining the house.
One day, as she worries about how she’ll survive, she’s given the “World Jumping” ability by a mysterious being that allows her to go back and forth between “this world” and an “isekai”! Now that she has this ability, she comes up with a plan for the future in which she saves 1 billion yen in each world for a total of 2 billion yen (80,000 gold coins)!
That’s right. This is a plan for a girl with no one to rely on to live a peaceful, stable retired life in the future!
Felix Film are making the series with Macross Delta director Hiroshi Tamada at the helm.
