我が名は勇者王!

I liked the episode just for the plot dump/change of pace. This episode doesn't feel off tone for the series, but there is a bit of mood whiplash compared with last week's god experience requiem.
Spoiler: show

This anime is really top-tier.

As someone who doesn't expand the spoiler comments and isn't watching, you guys are confusing me. >_< First you say this anime is heinously awful / disgusting / "I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE!", now you say it's top-tier and "so good." What is going on!? Is this the next Aku no Hana? Does it explore disgusting people doing disgusting things but is a captivating tale that leaves your breathless? Or what?

On its surface the show looks like another typical fantasy anime the likes of KonoSuba/SAO/whatever, but it's not... at all. The thing about the show after that though is that it can be frustrating at times to watch the main character make terrible decisions, and it's even worse coupled with the sad fact that the character gets locked into what seems to be an endless loop of despair - it can be emotionally and mentally exhausting, to the point where I've openly said I was contemplating dropping the show simply because of how sad, and sometimes fucked up, it could get. But it's too good for me to drop, which brings me to the next point - This show's studio is so fucking good at their craft, the animation is fantastic, the story is fantastic, the music is fantastic, and some of the actors are frighteningly good at conveying emotion in their voice. Sometimes the show is just 'okay', but when it has substance, it has substance, and it just chugs it out. The studio also goes out of their way to intricately make certain aspects of the show better by not skimping out and taking shortcuts - for example, in a recent episode, (very, very light spoilers) Spoiler: show I won't lie and call the show immaculate though, it definitely has a lot of flaws, and the story does suffer pacing problems from time to time. Some of the episodes were difficult to understand character motivations and actions in, or were frustrating to watch play out. Sometimes the show can be downright boring, too, again, the prime chunk of that happening in the first several episodes. Another issue is that a lot of fans are divisive on how to feel about the main character - many still do not like him, many simply pity him, while many do enjoy his presence and development. All of that said, hopefully it's a little easier to understand now why thoughts and feelings on this show can fluctuate so extremely and in short amounts of time.

It was painful though. Very painful. The main character does things that would make the authors of Watamote, Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa and Oyasumi Punpun cringe. But this level of degradation allowed the director to hone in on the character development, and in a fairly consistent way. To take a measured example from a series you respect, I think Re:Zero's character development is equal to Lelouch-Suzaku Code Geass. I personally think it surpasses that (by a lot) because it's extremely consistent - you can see how the main guy progresses every step of the way, as opposed to the tug-of-war portrayals that arose from Sunrise interfering with Geass' writing. Re:Zero is rather good at setting a gloomy mood and manages to terrify AND horrify even an experienced viewer. Of the three recent isekai anime (Konosuba, Overlord, and Re:Zero), I think this one is tops, even if it's not my personal favourite of the group. On pure literary merit, it blows the other two out of the water, but its world-building and comedy are the weakest. Basically, I think this is a show you would like, since the things it's best at you like, and the things its worst at you don't care for. Also, you seem to have a lot of success with anime that have "zero" in the title.

I love this show, and I hate it once again.
Spoiler: show THAT aside... all in all one of the strongest episodes of the series so far, if not the strongest. Really, really well done, all around very good. Wonderful performance from the cast and crew on this one. There was one particular moment that even left me shedding a few tears. |
