One of the few anime's I can't decide if it's Love or Hate

dameon_green

Another Isekai, another world and another set of improbable situations.


But anime one cycles between interesting questions, cheesy over predictable scenarios tropes and it seems to struggle to decide if it wants depth or not.
This is best highlighted by the final few episodes where the party struggles with an pitiful / trivial final goal to complete a quest stage the extended over several episodes to finally have a significant reveal. As a result one of the characters is forced to struggle with past choices, which was building up well, only to have it flip into borderline evil overlord monologuing which seemed to completely negate the possible character and story growth.


It seems it's been green-lit for a 2nd season, so maybe the answer will be found there, will it be a standout Isekai or something one regrets watching?


Pro's:
Good English Dubbing.Some interesting situations / questions.2nd season on the way.


Con's:
Average to lower quality animation.Predictable.Lack of significant character depth and development.Little significant story advancement.

score 5/10
