The Winter 2023 anime season is right around the corner, including the debut of several intriguing isekai anime series. That includes Farming Life In Another World, which promises to be a charming, self-explanatory escapism adventure with beautiful elf girls, a quaint farm, and fruits and vegetables galore.
Based on the trailer and basic premise, Farming Life In Another World should be yet another "peaceful isekai life" anime in the same vein as Ascendance of a Bookworm and I've Been Killing Slimes. This anime will probably do little to reinvent the isekai wheel, though anime fans looking for a cozy little anime to watch between episodes of bigger, more successful anime series are all invited down to the isekai farm for a rustic adventure in another world.

The Plot of Farming Life in Another World
Farming Life in Another World is an isekai novel series by Kinosuke Naito, soon to be an anime in the Winter 2023 lineup. The protagonist is 39-year-old Hiraku Machio, who died and got reborn in a quaint isekai world thanks to a certain god's generosity. Hiraku even got four wishes, the last of which was to get his own farm. Now Hiraku is a humble isekai farmer who keeps himself busy with this rewarding work, totally subverting isekai trends of fighting a demon king or fulfilling a prophecy. At a glance, Hiraku appears to be yet another dark-haired male self-insert, but he at least won't be a power fantasy character. Farmers aren't known for being OP, even with a wish-granting god backing them up.
In this new life, Hiraku will till the land, nurture his crops and, when it's time, harvest all the corn, cabbage and apples he can handle. Along the way, Hiraku the reborn farmer will meet and befriend many charming local girls, including some elves -- a plot point that promises to make this series an isekai harem. Whether it's a wholesome harem of friends or a raunchier, steamier one remains to be seen, but either way, Farming Life in Another World fans will meet plenty of colorful, likable anime girls out there on the farm. Moreover, harem or not, Farming Life in Another World promises to be another easygoing iyashikei anime -- a low-stakes, low-conflict series that's about the journey, not the destination. It's part of a small and niche but definitely growing sub-genre of farming life isekai franchises.

Trailer & Release Date for Farming Life in Another World
A single anime trailer has aired for Farming Life in Another World, though official English subtitles aren't yet available. Still, the Farming Life trailer's imagery tells the tale, and the anime has a pretty straightforward premise. In this trailer, Hiraku awakens in this quaint isekai world and explores all it has to offer, from his new squad of female friends and a pack of exotic black wolves to giant spiders and most of all, his farm's crop fields. Based on the trailer's scenes, Hirozu's farm is a bountiful one, overflowing with ripe corn, fresh apples and little heads of cabbage. With this being an iyashikei-style anime, it's no surprise that things are coming along well.
For now, there is not much else that anime fans can determine about Farming Life's plot and characters, but some inferences can be made. There's bound to be at least a little fan service, and possibly some edutainment value as well, with Hirozu and his friends explaining the ins and outs of running a successful farm. Raising crops and livestock to support a local population isn't easy, and there are many moving parts involved. No doubt that in the absence of fantasy action and serious drama, Farming Life will keep casual isekai fans engaged with some cool lectures and demonstrations on farming techniques, all with a pleasant iyashikei vibe.
