Most of the comments, and especially the rantings, are pointless.
This is NOT a series, but a completed novel (and one of the very best at that), so it certainly won't have 20 seasons or whatnot. This 3rd season should conclude the story, period, and job done.
Yes, the anime quality is extremely bad, especially the CGI, and that's really upsetting. But the novel is a masterpiece, and you should read it instead of complaining. The anime version just butchered 2/3 of the material, so it's no wonder it sometimes feels inconsistent, and knowing how densely packed, straight to the point and devoid of any beating around the bush the novel is (despite its richness in characters development), it's no wonder the anime feels like an empty shell in comparison. Even the monsters are ridiculous (the worst being the Devourer : how a transparent, gigantic slime covering square miles ended up as a ridiculous purple Mr Hankey is beyond understanding).
But still, the main plot and characters (and a lot are missing, unfortunately) are there, and you should read the novel (or the manga if you're lazy, but it's not close to getting finished) rather than judging from this failure.
Now complaining about the harem is stupid as well, for both reasons : 1) there's none in the main story, it starts at the very last sentence of the book (and of course it's Arifureta After starting point on Earth), and 2) the whole Nagumo family IS THE ACTUAL MC, not Hajime alone, so you can't push it out of the picture on a whim.
Well, to be honest, Shea will get accepted half way in the 3rd season, so there should be a draft of harem... But they may as well skip this part after all, like they skipped the Hoelscher Empire platoon massacre, the Masaka Inn poster girl voyeurism, Crystabel, Catherine, various castrations of stalkers, Emperor Garhard D. Hoelscher's visit to Heiligh, the whole Verbergen city, the ommitted locations, scenes and characters are too long to be listed, and yet they're absolutely essential to understand the characters interations and the 3rd season. Well, when you'll hear Shea ask for a threesome tonight while Hajime is driving the Fenrir, you'll know it's started... Mwahahahaha !
I guess the original studio actually never intended to follow up with the rest of the book anyway... So maybe there'll be absolutely no harem hint whatsoever in the anime, so stop complaining ! Seeing as the all the brutal and crude scenes have been excluded already, chances as they just aimed at the general public (and aiming at China won't bring it back to its original adult audience anyway), so yeah, the anime not only has been hacked down a lot, it's also been blanded a whole lot. |
