What a horrible adaptation.
Animations are subpar, CGI is even worse. Character design seems lackluster and the episode jumps all over the place.
They jump right into one of the most defining experiences of the MC and then destroy what little suspension they can build with ridiculous, unconnected flashbacks.
Instant drop for me, I'll stay with the LN...
Holy Shit. That might honestly be one of the worst and most confusing ways to start an isekai series ever. Literally zero explanations, no backstory, and trying to intermix multiple timelines together with nothing to go on. This was the anime studio trying to do an "edgey" version of an isekai opening introduction by dropping the audience into the middle of the story and it definitely fell flat. The show itself looks semi-ok and I sure hope that things will be cleared up if they actually get to properly introducing all the story elements and characters, but this is not a good start. I'm actually a fan of the light novels so it is definitely better to read the novels instead at least thus far.

Generic, boring, and painful to watch. Animation was terrible: https://content.takanodan.net/imgs/anime/arifureta-08072019/arifuretacgi.png
The worst I've seen. The storyline was confusing, jumping all over the place, with no backstory. Avoid it.
