(Average+) Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout

Series in one sentence:
Basic-looking anime preschooler with a shark mouth is apparently a babe that brings all the 40-year-olds to the yard.

Series in more sentences:
Two childhood friends are suddenly transported to another world by a goddess, who treats a random remark they last uttered as a wish.

The stoic, handsome, anti-romantic Jinguuji wakes up to find the social and love-hungry Tachibana transformed into a girl, possessing an enchanting beauty in the literal sense. The two seem oddly enamoured with each other in their new predicament and become ever more aware of the other person's good qualities that made them friends in the first place.

Are these genuine feelings, or is it the curse the goddess cast on them after lashing out at her?

After having finished the first season, I can confidently say that the fantasy elements were damn boring and unnecessary. The anime shone brightest when it didn't occupy itself with all that tomfoolery and focussed on the relationships.

There was no reason for this story to play off in another world. Jinguuji and Tachibana could've dealt with the latter's transformation back home.
Not only that, but that this girl isn't actually beautiful, but has a passive magic skill that enchants anyone who sees her puts a damper on things as well, as it makes Jinguuji's romantic interest not seem voluntary. Disingenuous, even, despite some very sweet flashback scenes.

So again, I think this would've been a better watch if the setting was just their home and work life, and Tachibana's female self perhaps looked and sounded more like his male self. That way Jinguuji would be way more confronted with the fact he's dealing with his male childhood friend.

For what it was, not a bad watch, but the end conflict was excruciatingly boring, only saved by some fanservice scenes between our two strange friends.
If things were kept simple, this would've been an easy "good" rating, but too many scenes just didn't go all the way, or into the direction I hoped. I felt a bit let down. But sure, I'll watch the next season when it comes.
