 https://myanimelist.net/anime/51706/Yuusha_ga_Shinda Synopsis Far to the north of the world lies Hell's Gate, a portal formerly used by the Demon Lord to invade the human realm. Thanks to the legendary hero Shion Bladearts, wielder of Excalibur, and his loyal band of companions, the Gate was sealed off and the demonic threat was vanquished. Unfortunately, the seal was incomplete and has begun to weaken, allowing the demons to once again begin their attack. Worried about the safety of his village, selfish and perverted farmer Touka Scott dig pitfalls to defend against the demons. But fear not, for Shion is on his way to reseal Hell's Gate and save humanity! Or at least he was, because the legendary hero is dead, having fallen into one of the pitfalls Touka dug. Luckily, dealing with the dead is the specialty of necromancer Anri Haynesworth. While she can't revive him, Anri can at least salvage their quest by forcing Touka's soul into Shion's rotting body and dragging him along to Hell's Gate in Shion's place. Not wanting to be left behind, Touka's childhood friend Yuna Yunis tags along. Together, the three of them set out as what just might be the most unsuitable party to ever try to save the world!

| Episode 1 And thus, it begins with an opening theme song that makes me think about Thriller by Michael Jackson. Touka is one annoying pervert, and given the situation in which Sion was killed by such an amateur's trap, I would rather see Sion's soul be transported into Touka's body than the other way around, but Anri is a necromancer who can only manipulate dead bodies and not to mention, on the one who killed the hero can have his soul transported, so for Kyle to take that role, Touka will have to die. That's a recipe for disaster as Touka is shamelessly using the legendary hero's appearance to flirt with every girl in town. The concept is an interesting one, but the MC is just so annoying an unlikable. Anyway, let's see where this goes. |
| This reminds me a little of Gokudo, another show where the irresponsible main character had to be dragged into doing good things. I enjoyed Gokudo, but I don't think I'm going to enjoy this show. Touka is too unlikeable, and I haven't seen anyone else in cast who makes up for him. I might give it another episode. |
| A show with zero likable characters is a bold choice. Perv MC's are pretty cringe too. |
| The concept is humorous, but the execution is rotten. It gets one more show to win me over. |
 |
| Sometimes all the main characters being assholes is just what you want in a show. |

| The OP had me thinking Blood Lad for some reason, which set the tone for the whole episode. Askew impression already, ugh. |

| Can't fault the MC's taste tho. *hides radish* |
| From the title this is about what I was expecting in terms of the level of silliness. When he first ended up in the hero's body I thought it some kind of thing where when you kill the hero you then are forced to become the next hero, like some sort of hero curse. |

| This show gets me, I too appreciate thicc thighs. |
| I'm a cultured degenerate. |
| Yeah i don't like anyone... The only notable feature so far is the radishes. |
| Episode 2 Seeing that only the person that kills the legendary hero can become one that Kyle is looking to kill Touka to fulfill his hero complex. While Kyle would make a better hero than Touka now, he's most definitely not qualified to be one as he's quite the schemer who was willing to stab Sion in the back when the opportunity presented himself. But in the end, Touka outsmarted that jerk and sent him falling into the sea. At least the characters were a little bit less annoying this time, but even still Touka continues to be as unlikable as ever seeing that at a time like this, being naked in stockings is the last thing that should be on his mind. |
| Earned another week's reprieve. |
| |
| I think I'll go ahead and watch this one. I'm currently giving it a 5 out of 10, but that's good enough. |
| A definite upgrade from the first episode. The stockings gags were pretty good. |

| Episode 3 Here comes Marguerite who is Sion’s fiancee not realizing that it’s actually necromanced with Touka inhabiting his body, and using all sorts of goofy looks. But there’s a big threat lurking as Leland is posing as an orphanage director to mask his true intentions as Leland has Touka’s thigh fetish, but a much more malevolent version. Pretty ominous that was. I’ll give it one more episode, but it looks like this show’s prospects are as good as dead. |
| I don’t know about you guys but this episode made me laugh my ass off. |
| I'm a cultured degenerate. |
paulchaested said: I don’t know about you guys but this episode made me laugh my ass off. Yeah I thought parts of it were pretty funny. This show does the irreverent fantasy trope better than Fruit of Evolution for sure. |
| Episode 4 While Touka could fake his way, not when there are those who are well aware he is a fake. And then it becomes a battle between necromancers as Anri managed to take control of the ones Leland previously controlled, and as perverted as Touka is, at least he doesn't turn them into bones. They might have escaped the labyrinth, but Leland is following them, and it's a good thing Touka was well aware to confuse him with a fake blood trail. |
| Didn't care for the last episode too much, but this one was pretty funny. "A miracle!" |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| One more week reprieve. |
| |
| This show is improving. That was the best ep yet. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| It may just be that there's so much competition for shittest show of the season that's making this one seem "not so bad" by comparison. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| It did have somewhat of a charm. Even though it isn't an Isekai, I would call it isekai adjacent and it has been better than the crappy Isekai this season. At this point I would say it even did the humor better than Kamikatsu is doing. I think I'll grade it a 6/10 |
| I have to give it a 5/5. Decent humour, but storytelling was a bit off. Good OP. I don't remember the ED at all. Art was good. |
| |
| One of my favorite OPs of the season. |

| I watched the last three eps together and thought it was a strong wrap up to the season. I think this is a show that would work better as a binge watch. It just doesn't have the greatest pacing for a week to week viewing. I think it would suit the humor better too. This show had more genuine laughs than any of the other shows with a fantasy setting this season. Though, yes, it wasn't the best season for shows with that kind of setting, especially comedic ones. Overall I think I liked this better than most people here seem to have. The ending elevated it to a 7 for me, though if I could I'd give it a 6.5 on the score here. I thought the OP was just OK at first. Once I saw the lyrics though it really raised it to another level.
