Well, I like the manga a lot more, and had been reading that long before the anime was even announced. However, once I started the anime and was disappointed, I just couldn't bring myself to stop until I had finished the season. It was the sunk cost fallacy in action.

In general, this genre of story, the "slow-life isekai", generally doesn't translate to anime well in my opinion. Probably the only one that I liked the anime adaptation was Slime 300 (which had a second season announced).
