English I Shall Survive Using Potions! didn't sit well with me; in fact, I consider it downright stupid. Let's start with the original premise - a heroine aiming for a peaceful life in a new fantasy world by selling elixirs. However, it has two major flaws. Firstly, elixirs don't even exist in this world. Secondly, the main heroine does everything to make her life anything but peaceful. Okay, no one would be interested in her if her life was peaceful, but does she really have to constantly boast about being friends with a goddess? That's how an egomaniac brags, not someone who aims for a peaceful life selling elixirs. Not to mention how annoying it is when you hear it for the tenth time. And speaking of elixirs - the main heroine can create any elixir she thinks of in any container that comes to mind. It's a terrible idea for a story, ruining any tension and eliminating potential problems. When Kaoru conjures up something like glasses with radar, it's a stretch to consider that a potion bottle! Despite everything she can do, the mistakes she makes are sometimes so dumb it hurts. After seeing the nonsense she did in battle almost costing one of the supporting characters their life, I had to pause watching. Even when she makes mistakes, she solves the consequences by simply running away and continuing her journey. Even if she accidentally gets into trouble, she always has a divine intervention up her sleeve because she's the goddess's friend - removing any tension. But Jeoffrey, this isn't about tension; it's supposed to be a cute fantasy road trip... Okay, but why is every stop so dumb, and why do I have to keep watching the main heroine pulling divine miracles and solutions out of her ass while pretending to be incredibly clever? What comes next? An atom bomb? That can also be considered a potion bottle, right? Hell no! But even that won't stop the heroine... As I mentioned, I didn't like this series; I found it stupid, didn't buy half of what it wanted to convince me of, and even though I managed to make it to the end, I won't give it more than 3.5/10. What for? I guess a few likable supporting characters, nice colorful animation, and maybe even for thanking me at the end for watching, even though I occasionally needed a sip of elixir myself... ()
