| Good anime, i liked the atmosphere, characters, music... music was especially good. I wanted to see more Naofumi & Raphtalia scenes, but... i suppose i have to wait for the next two seasons! |

d_agra said: Its pretty clear that the 3 stooges and Malty are only there to be shit characters for the sole purpose to make the MC look good because otherwise i don't understand their stupidity at all. It's the only thing that makes sense. Very poor writing. Overall it's generic isekai which starts with potential strong themes but ends as a cleverly disguised Harem anime. A generous 5/10 This. Can't believe I lost a lot of braincells trying to watch this anime. |
 |
| I actually thought this would have been a lot more of an impact for an isekai as there was quite the hype for it especially with the characters being quite popular. But it felt rather generic for an isekai in my honest opinion. It's certainly not bad but also nothing out of the ordinary special so I'm personally a bit confused to why this got such a high praise and rating. That said I still quite enjoyed watching it! All in all a pretty damn fine anime! |
 |
| Oh, pretty disappointed by the way this anime turned out. Honestly the first episodes got me: I enjoyed the dark-wannabe side of the plot with the struggle of the hero and the conspiration he was getting into, his discovery of the world through xp farming/selling drops/creating a party. Generally speaking the beginning of the anime really felt credible for its MMORPG aspect. But after 25 episodes, it ended up like any other generic anime: badass MC has his harem, we got the usual crazy church part, and honestly no one can say the story telling worth it (they even managed to put a beach episode !)... The bases were good for doing an interesting show, but it ended up just better than the average of its peers. Which is definitely not much. I watched it for its reputation & the memes, and in the end I'm not even sure it worth it. I would definitely agree with the previous comment: RafaelDeJongh said: It's certainly not bad but also nothing out of the ordinary special so I'm personally a bit confused to why this got such a high praise and rating. |

| Did Raccoon girl( I can't spell her name correctly ) and Naofumi kiss at the end or was it a hug? |
 |
| I dunno why but i literally teared out when Naofumi and Rapthalia final moments before the ending, flashback to the times when Rapthalia was still young and all the hardships they've gone through with Naofumi. I really love this ep and a good ending, waiting for season 2 so baddd~ .Though, the final battle between Glass and Naofumi is somewhat cliffhanger in a way buf understandable. See you all in season 2 forums! |
 |
| Anime with an interesting beginning that made me think of it as a not a regular isekai but unfortunately it is a regular isekai. It has the whole package: yet another rage mode, OP MC, hints of harem genre, as the show goes on it feels like MC is gradually loosing his uniqueness and turning into yet another all around nice guy, so to speak. By the end It felt disappointing but, hey , I would lie if I said I haven't gotten at least a little bit of an enjoyment out of it. In my eyes it is still much more superior to any season of SAO. |

| Hm. It was good. 7/10 Nothing to write home about. I would likely watch S2. Surprised Naofumi decided to stay though lol. He was so adamant abbout returning home that I thought he'd end up bringing Raph and Filo with him lulz |
| God damn, fastest kiss on earth, amazing end, finally he decided to stay, good luck on your adventure Naofumi, and have to say Naofumi and Raphtalia best couple. |
 |
| I powered through this whole thing just to see what the hype was all about. Am a little disappointed, but that's just because I wasn't expecting much. I always enjoy the first episodes of these, i think the set up is great and the potential is always there. But yeah no this show wasn't for me |

| This series had potential. If only they could've characterized the side characters better. It was understandable in the beginning but after the MC proved his place they all still act like idiots. |
| Was extremely sceptical about what my final thoughts were gonna be about this anime, but honestly i think i can safely say i liked it. Non the less nothing is perfect and this anime definitely had its down sides. My opinion throughout this anime most definitely fluctuated, but these are my final thoughts about it. 7/10 Story wise, i liked the plot, the setting, the whole gist of the 4 cardinal heroes + wave system and the whole RPG game element that it really falls down into. What i loved even more, was the twist of Naofumi getting immediately shunned under acquisitions, and the more serious tones that followed it, really felt more like a reality slap that this wasn't a game and shit can get real fast. Then having to dig his way up back to glory, going through blood sweat and tears, to finally get back to his position, and have that sweet feeling of revenge when justice was finally done. However, i feel like an issue with the story itself, would be it can sometimes be cliche as shit, with some extremely cheesy and foreseeable plot points, that are either there to force progress the story regardless of how questionable it can be. Along with some of the dialogue in this anime, this anime definitely in my opinion had issues taking this pretty serious plot, and continuing to make it this gritty, bloody, "trust no one" anime that i hoped it could be, instead having more of the "power of friendship" aspect taking control more. 5/10 Characters wise. They felt, decent at best in terms of likeability and development. The main cast itself was likeable and bare able. Each of them had their big developing moments which i can say were pretty outstanding and ok. However side character ,such as the the 3 cardinal heroes, felt so incredibly, useless that it just made them so unlikeable for me. There is a point when making characters purposely unlikeable, where i feel like enough is enough. This anime felt like they just kept going with it, making them even shittier to the point where when they did gain some sort of attraction, likeability or somewhat competence, i already disliked them enough that i barely changed my views on them. 7/10 Art and visual wise, the anime is good. Design for characters like their armour and weapons, feels very RPG like, as well as monsters seeming to be all different in forms and sizes showing some creativity in design. The fight scenes were all pretty good, effects for ability's and weapons clashing were good and all in all this anime felt like it kept a more or less consist good visual style to the end. Honourable mentions however go to CGI Magic T-Rex, gone but not forgotten. 7/10 Sfx wise, it was ok, nothing to serious but enough to keep my liking. OP and ED's were very good, really liked them a lot. Both OP's in my opinion fit the anime extremely well, maybe the first one a bit more then the second, All in all, this anime has its goods and bads, and more or less the last question is, did i actually enjoy this anime? Honestly, yeh i did. For all the downsides it might have, i really enjoyed this anime enough to give it an 8/10. I loved Naofumi's relationship with his partners, his stoic, father figure that he has towards his companions, and the story that keeps getting better and better. Really liked it, looking forward to s2 most definitely. |

 "yabe." |
| Yeah, its confirmed. Its even only an introduction. How funny. The waves were a gimmick. Its just a plot device to make our one and only hero, shield hero, enjoyed his isekai life better than before. Drastically its change. Because of what? Peoples loved an edgy lord, and Naofumi showed his potential to be the most edge lord, ever. Case closed. Oh, and i even need to closed my full pharagraph with those tab, only to feel relief over these episode. Please, pay no mind, okay? Overall its still suited well to my 7/10. Cause i just fuckin love with genki blob chick, but loli. You get that? That's it for me. And peace, plebs. |

| So the other three heroes did not redeem themselves, they were just beaten and retreated after our generic hero decided not to kill his enemy in a death battle. There is a 100% chance that these pieces of shit will become allies later on though, yay... First half was great, second half was meh at best. What looked like a revenge story with a strict and serious protagonist, became your usual isekai show with a good-two-shoes generic hero trying to save everyone. What diminished my enjoyment the most were all those trash characters that can just continue to be retarded with no punishment at all. Malty, King, Motoyasu and Therese by all means should die as fast as possible in the 2nd season to improve upon the 1st one. 6/10 |

| I like it how Naofumi did all the work and for some reason "all" of them defeated the wave? Like what the hell did the other 3 "heroes" did they just randomly attack L'Arc a single time and got complete destroyed Basically Naofumi,Raphtalia,Filo,Melty almost did everything including defeating Glass,L'arc,and Theresa 10/10 |

| Disappointing. Generic isekai, with tons of bad writing. It's almost like everyone else aside from the MC become useless hero. Imagine throwing a very shallow combo and calling it their best. Random Deus ex machina whenever the party is losing. Melty and Motoyasu should just drop dead lmao. Other character is just as forgettable as the protagonist. |
| to ppl complaining about trash and slut getting of easy, its for comedy so they become new team rocket try and fail that's what i think Avichii said: There is only one thing I want to know and that is did Raphtalia and Naofumi kissed at the end of the anime? I was confused cause how casually they handled the situation. But I'm sure they did. Well what you guys think? SPIDEY_rockzzzzz said: Did Raccoon girl( I can't spell her name correctly ) and Naofumi kiss at the end or was it a hug? good question but but considering their faces they did kiss, but like we others didn't see it neither d_agra said: Malty gets a slap in the wrist for high treason, 1 episode later immediately tries to assasinate MC, gets caught, Queen gets told and nothing happens again, no consequences. Later on she still with Lance guy's party which makes absolutely no sense. I am sure she learned her lesson and wouldn't try to kill the MC for a 3rd time would she?? Of course not. Her plot armor is strong. makes perfect sense sins spear hero is brain-dead simp 😂😂😂😂😂 |

| Finally, it's over. The show really became a chore. Seriously, so many things are wrong. That idealistic power of friendship stupidity, that whole "Let's not kill ennemies or else we'll be like them" mentality, Naofumi being absolutely unbearable, nothing having any dramatic consequence, and so many other thinhs annoyed me so much... I tried to keep an open mind when watching this show even if it's not my cup of tea. But in the end I just couldn't. So I give it a 4/10, because it wasn't the worst show I've ever seen but it just wasn't good. |

| Good ending ep of s1 tho i think it need a good plot in next season we need some twists in this series's not bad not great but fine to watch show could be better tho |
| Wtf that's plagiarism from bo |
 “Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.” — RAINER-MARIA Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (letter dated April 23, 1903). |
| I can't wait for season 2! It seems many didn't enjoy this anime, but it has become one of my recent favorites :) |
| Not flawless, some weak characters and overused harem cliché, despite that a solid and truly enjoyable series. 8/10. |
   |
| Final few scenes with Raphtalia, Naofumi and Seyatte for this season were decent, but that's about the longest stretch that I found passable in this whole season. The first half of the episode with the continuation of the Wave battle with Glass involved was really, really mediocre and forgettable here. This show was underwhelming beyond expectations, I'm stunned that I found the first few episodes to be really good back then, I really am. I feel like then I was in an alternate dimension or something. Season 2 airing in a few months from now eh, is there an actual plot to look forward to then? Probably not. Even the shitty stuff with Bitch and Trash ended uneventfully and now its like all that didn't matter except the name changes. I was shitting on that Slime anime a lot in the rewatch but this was easily worse. |
| It was a great season and with a great ending. I think Naofumi shouldn't be in doubt when attacking Glass, because if he didn't, he and his friends that he so much wants to defend and says are important, will die. I hope that next season improve the way the Shield of Rage works, because every time Naofumi lost control, his friends only needs to talk with him that he regained control over power. I didn't really understand, did Naofumi tell Raphtalia that he's going to stay in this world even when the waves run out? Or did he just say that there is only the possibility that he will decide to stay? |

| I finally finished the last Episode and loved the Ending. It's absolutely adorable and a love letter to Naofumi and Raphtalias relationship. The first half of the Anime is easily a 9/10 for me, because the pacing and development is great. All of the darker themes are very well explored and the cast got a great dynamic. While I enjoy the second half as well, there are some weird writing decisions and pacing problems. However, I enjoyed the addition of melty and her character arc in the second part. Her sister Malty finally gets what she deserves, but her sentence should be more harsh. Raphtalia was fleshed out, got a good amount of character development and enough time to shine. It's overall a good experience and one of my favorite isekai anime. 7.5-8/10 Can't wait for season 2 |
