Very nice all in all

Finally a straight edge main hero who displays some good judgement. As when he finds a certain someone sealed in a heavily guarded dungeon he's like: "ok, there must be a reason for this" and is cautious. So good to see this, as opposed to predictable boring anime-style: "oh no this person is locked up, we must help him/her no matter what, how or when".

Another plus is that the anime is fast paced. There is actually progress. Bang bang and they are on floor 100 already. Not like black clover for instance where you'd be stuck on 1 floor with 20 fillers and 15 flashbacks stretched over 30 episodes.

It's also nice how the main hero does actually kill monsters instead of the usual silly mumbo jumbo you can expect in other anime: "oh no we must let everyone live no matter what blah-blah".

The only major letdown is how the big monsters are drawn out and animated. Almost painful to watch. You are left wondering what on earth happened there, did they not have enough budget for that or time (or likely both). Well, you'll see for yourself

Finally they actually kiss in this anime instead of acting like children are found in cabbage all the time. This to me is a big plus, adds emotional depth to the show and is a refreshing differentiation from what we see almost everywhere else.

score 9/10
