Synopsis

Right as he is about to earn a promotion, a salaryman meets an untimely demise. Taking pity, a mysterious being grants him a second life in the land of Galdardia as a teenager. Choosing the name Luciel for himself and a role as a healer, the young man sets off for the nearby town of Merratoni. There, he learns that healers are a coveted resource, yet they often take advantage of others for monetary gain. Vowing to be different from other healers, he joins the local branch of the Healers' Guild and begins unlocking his magical potential.

After failing to save someone with his magic, Luciel is determined to get stronger. To improve his physical strength and hone his magic skills, he registers as an adventurer and takes rigorous training under Brod, the chief instructor of the Adventurers' Guild. Soon, Luciel gradually finds his way through Galdardia, gaining a reputation as a selfless healer who aids others regardless of expense.

I'd recommend this anime. It was light hearted and had some funny moments. I like the story and the pace for the most part. I would say it was a good story and wrapped up nicely. I look forward to a season two. I'm not sure why its rated lower then a 7. I think it is a standard isekai but is a different take on it and was pleasant to watch. I think the Art was good and the concept was entertaining. I think if you think the isekai genre is played out then maybe this isn't worth your time but I think ...

Mixed Feelings

Great Cleric is a tough one to rate because I did want to like it. I like the art style, the character designs and the concept of an MC who is not OP from the start, but has to grind and train constantly to improve was appealing. Sadly, for me at least, the show took 8 weeks to get good and for most people it’s just not an investment they can make. Had this show come out the gate with the energy we saw in the final 4-5 episodes, this could have been a really good show.

I tend to believe the problems with Great ... Cleric were adaptation based since the Amazon reviews for the light novel are glowing. But, my God was this show dragged out. I’m all for training arcs and having an MC go through trials and tribulations to get stronger, but it gets to a point where it’s too much. In an anime where you only have 12 episodes to get people into a story, there’s only so much of the same repetitive stuff people can take. The training arc in this one could have been cut by several episodes and Luciel leaving the starter town to get the story going should have been done sooner. Once that does happen, I started enjoying the show a lot more. The whole capital arc is very fun, there’s some cool dungeon crawling, best girl gets introduced and the pacing gets much better at that point in general. It’s just way too much slog you have to go through to get there.

As a character, I’m kind of neutral on Luciel. He’s somewhat of a lovable idiot. Has some good moments where he makes you laugh and you root for him and then some where you just want to slap yourself in the face. He’s probably more developed in the books, but I wasn’t in love with the guy based on this anime. As I said before, I do like that he has to actually work for everything he’s got. He starts off purely able to heal before learning other combat skills and the show, for better or worse, takes its sweet time showing you how he acquires each and every one of those abilities. The side characters are pretty meh until blonde waifu gets introduced. At that point my interest was piqued. Sadly, again going back to the pacing, it took a long time for her to really become a part of the story. There’s a few others who get introduced at the end that are solid too.

Art is really solid in the anime. I’m a big fan of the bright colour palette, I like the designs as well. Animation is your generic powerpoint style, but it gets the job done. The production on the show is serviceable.

Really my main issue here just comes from the pacing. That alone just makes it hard for me to recommend this to people. I’d say give episode 1 a try and see how you vibe with it. That same pacing is going to stick around for like 4-5 episodes so if that’s something you can handle, go for it. Personally, I think I’ll give the Light Novels a chance at some point just to see how things were handled there. The world is interesting enough for me to want more of it, just not necessarily in anime form.

Great cleric gets 6 out of 10.

MC is reincarnated as a healer in a world where healers seem to exploit others for their services. Just think of it as American health care meme, but in a middle ages fantasy setting.

We all know how this goes. MC is "nice" and doesn't want to let people die as a healer etc.. But what really surprised me was the story and pacing.

Positives
1. Actually hard working MC: Isekai garbage usually either grant OP cheat powers or just show a montage of hard working MC in the first few episodes before making him OP. But this is the first series where he actually IS weak. ... He starts at low level and has to grind very very slowly to grow stronger. He tries to do everything he can to get stronger. The slow pacing even makes you appreciate how hard the MC is working. And that no matter how much you romanticize it, real hard work is still a long journey of boring repetitive practice.
2. Pacing: Unlike the usual isekai where we are just ticking off a checklist of tropes, this show actually bothers to setup the characters and the world. We see the MC training, going to eat after training, trying to sleep and everything. It was oddly relaxing to watch the show and it also managed to get me invested in the show. Although it may feel boring at times, i appreciated the slowness by the end of the series. Definitely not for everyone, but for those who just want a rapid pace, there's plenty of isekai already.
3. MC got a brain: Instead of just becoming a healer, he trains at an adventure guild for a while to learn how to protect himself (atleast run from monsters). He knows he can't save everyone, won't become OP overnight and must get better to help others. He also is one of the few MCs who feels like an adult in a workplace.
4. A few hilarious moments: MC's VA did a great job when delivering comedy dialogues. Actually made me laugh out loud. It ain't god tier comedy, but it is definitely there. It made even the serious moments feel lighter and just made the overall vibe relaxing.

Negatives
1. pacing is kinda slow. I wish they would edit out some repetitive content to add more lore or other stuff from the novels.
2. everything else is still super generic in terms of world/characters. Atleast in this season, there's not enough lore/hooks to distinguish this series from other isekai. But the final episode did get interesting. It felt like "this is where the real story starts". I guess it was a good way to hook viewers and make them buy novels.

Most people should probably skip this. That is why i will put this as Not recommended.
This is like a slow Slice of Life, where you grow along with a hardworking and sincere/realistic MC. Watch the first couple episodes and judge it for yourself. Due to the slow pacing, you won't see anything genre defining, but you will atleast get its "vibe".

But those who crave a slow isekai that still has combat/plot, i would absolutely recommend this. I loved it and will probably be jumping to novels.
