| Rentt is a character that isn't afraid of taking risks so to get stronger, he'll do whatever it takes. Episode didn't feel much different compared to others though. More background storytelling too. I'm surprised they even added more into the finale. Felt underwhelming imo. The series itself is ok but nothing too special. |
 |
| Rentt... the only person to have been human, skeleton, ghoul, undead, and now a vampire. The blood of the vampire inherited from the Latour family, while believed to facilitate evolutionary enhancements upon consumption, has no recorded instances of humans drinking it and surviving intact. Nevertheless, in his pursuit of strength, Rentt decides to consume the vampire blood. When questioned by Lorraine as to why he would risk his life to become a mithril-rank adventurer, Rentt begins to recount his own past. Lorraine's tsundere attitude always gets a laugh. Rentt's reason for becoming an adventurer makes sense - he's not just seeking revenge, but also wants to protect his loved ones and prevent past tragedies. Instead of taking the easy route like Goblin Slayer, he's set on defeating one specific enemy and reaching mithril rank. It's nice to see what everyone's been up to, especially Rina, who made a big impact despite her short appearance. And Rentt's progress toward regaining his humanity is encouraging. Every step brings Rentt closer to his goal: defeating the creature that destroyed his family and becoming a mithril-ranked adventurer. And of course, becoming human once more. Even though it's a typical fantasy anime, it's still enjoyable. I wouldn't mind seeing a second season. |
 |
| To become a Mythril-class adventurer: to or not to be a vampire? This is Lorraine's reply to Rentt, though it puts him on reservation. Love compels one to do things for the other, and Lorraine's reaction to Rentt is probably just as juxtapositioning as the guy who wants to become someone admirable from a young age. And said adventurer from a young age, has been put in peril with his parents traveling to a nearby village, only to be toyed with his friend of Jinlin against a wolf monster, with a capable Mythril-class adventurer named Wilfried Ryukker shielding him from harm and chasing it away. That, with his advice of telling him to go to the village and have them train him until he turns 15 to join the Adventurer's Guild, that has been his life ever since. And that, solidifies his reasoning to drink the vampire blood and turn more human. Thankfully, this Existential Evolution did not peer him off to the evil side, as life benign back to normalcy in Maalt, and his evolution is a success, finally making him look more like a human, with the exception of his obviously red vampire eyes, a face that Lorraine has not seen since his unforuntate undead adventures. Welcome home, Rentt Faina. Next to Saihate no Paladin a.k.a The Faraway Paladin, this show has now become one of my favorite old-school fantasy shows. Enjoyable, and wouldn't mind a Season 2. |
 |
| Rentt story is an interesting one. the complexity of his situation is rarely seen in typical fantasy setting that involves one’s gain of power. The struggle between his new undead nature and his former life as an adventurer, having to rebuild his reputation and social connections to ultimately fulfill his life long dream. How he has to gain power in order to regain his former life and his human feature, but in gaining power, turning him more monstrous in nature almost made him lose himself and more importantly, everything. At the end, he acknowledged and accepted his new found power but refusing succumb fully to it, remembering what he accomplished, his ambition, and the with of a very close friend, he become something else, not fully a monster but not fully human either, what certainty is he still himself.  |
| Surprisingly good finale, liked it quite a bit actually and made me wanting more now. Good to see Rentt looking back normal, even as a vampire. Good Lorraine x Rentt moment too there. Hoping for their ship to sail at some point. Rentt better not make her wait long. The scenes with the other characters in between were nice too. Backstory was nothing out of ordinary and okay. Decent fantasy anime which was okay for most part but enjoyable, a bit slow at times but I had fun. Would like to watch more, specially after the finale. |
 |
| Backstory was shortened by big chunk, completely leaving out some characters, but it shouldn't be issue even if get 2nd season one day and episode as whole worked really well imho. |
| I didn't expect a revenge story like Lorraine too, experiencing this as a five-year-old child is brutal. Show managed to be fun til the end. Good characters with a decent worldbuilding and a solid consistent story. I'm gonna miss the interactions between Lorraine and Rentt and I wanted to see more of his next evolutions and journeys. Too bad this was the last episode, hope we'll get a second season soon. |
| Well, we reached at least one goal by the end of this season. Even if it's some sort of a lesser vampire, Rentt still pretty much is a vampire now. The next season better come soon, cause I enjoyed it quite a bit! Let our undead boy be a Mythrill adventurer! Let him meet the first adventurer he met! There's still plenty of untapped potential in this series, so I'm hoping for a budget bump in the future, too. I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help it... |
 |
| Thought the idea was very good, but unfortunately the implementation is only mediocre. 5/10 |

| That's a good ending. So that's why He wants to become a mytril-class adventure. Now he looks like a vampire minion rather than a skeleton or zombie XD |

| What an anime 😮💨, it didn’t have that much action but I loved the non-action scenes that it made up for it, rentt as a character is so charming and caring despite being a undead. Can’t wait for season 2 when it’s announced |
| What a lovely way to end a lovely story. 😭 One of the best stories wonderfully adapted this season. I seriously loved her reactions throughout this episode. I will seriously miss this series.  @Tenzen12 Yes, it was cut back but it's nothing significant, for now. I just hope they eventually adapt it if we ever get a sequel. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I can only applaud this anime; the ending is well done. The delivery of the anime is simple, but that simplicity is what makes this anime special. I will look forward to season 2 if possible. |
| I will miss simping for Lorraine. She is so hot, cute, sexy, elegant and beautiful. Good show, nice adventuring without relying on hype fights. Its calm and I like that for a change. I will probably pick up the manga, I had a quick look and the art seems good. |

| Really interesting show packed with feels, I'd love season 2. |
 |
| Great finale as expected from a series that’s been criminally underviewed. Seeing Rentt’s backstory in his hometown and all the loss he went thru was critical to understand his motivations for drinking the vampire blood and wanting to get stronger. A lot of people talk about this story being so slow and not a lot happening, but I didn’t mind that at all. The character interactions were so well done and the emphasis on Rentt’s personal development separated it from typical fantasy series. Like in this episode we basically got the flashback and then Rentt drinking the blood, but I was locked in for the entire runtime. Just a really gripping series I’ll miss. “Welcome Home Rentt Faina” 😭 kinda thought Lorraine would confess there, but that’s more of her style. Very sweet ending and definitely got me interested enough to buy the LN to see where they go from here. How their relationship develops, finding the adventurer Rentt looked up to and his continued evolution as a vampire. Feels like the prologue is over and the real story is beginning right at the end. One of my faves this season for sure 👌 |

| Such a good finale That "welcome home,Rentt Faina" bit is just so satisfying to hear after 12 episodes,wish we got season 2 to see the development of all the characters |
| Another fake hero's journey. A death that makes him stronger, a cursed mask that is actually a boon, needing blood but in insignificant quantities and it's forgotten as soon as he travels, women throwing themselves at him etc. All in all another miserable fail of a show. |
| I went into this anime without knowing anything, think that it would be another generic power fantasy anime. I was so wrong. The ending is so satisfying, especially with that music. I like how the anime give me just enough information to comprehend the story, but not too much to ruin the mysteries. There are so much more to uncover. I can't wait for season 2. |
 |
| Big sad this ended; good watch. Really solid anime with nice non-rushed progression. Also Lorraine too hot to have this guy be so oblivious. |
| . |
| And so we end with learning Rentt's backstory and his successful evolution into a vampire. Boy, we've been having quite a few skeleton protagonists in recent years now haven't we? Granted Rentt didn't stay one for long, but still. I enjoyed this series quite a bit. I was eager to see where Rentt's evolutions went and I enjoyed seeing him interact with the rest of the cast. That his love interest of sorts Lorraine was stunningly beautiful didn't hurt either lol. I would absolutely watch a second season if we got one, but am skeptical it will come. Solid 7/10. |
| So Rentt says his reason for becoming a mythril class adventurer isn’t very interesting, then he proceeds to the tell the tale of his family dying and how he was saved by a mythril class adventurer lol, it was pretty interesting to me. And the fight scene between the adventurer and that wolf monster looked pretty nice, lots of close ups but good looking for sure, and this definitely gives Rentt’s goal a lot more meaning, it’s fitting for the final episode. And becoming a vampire wasn’t a walk in the park, as it appeared Rentt nearly lost himself but Lorraine pulled him back to reality and now we have a Rentt that is definitely a vampire but looks a lot more human now than he ever did. And those last two scenes between Rentt and Lorraine were very nice to end on, not sure where the story goes from here but I felt it was a satisfying stopping point. This was quite the unique fantasy anime, I especially found myself liking the world building and the aspect of Rentt getting stronger by evolving over time, it was a different kind of journey than usual, going from a deadhead to the end goal of becoming a vampire was a fun ride. And I was surprised by how little we saw of who I thought would be a main character, being Rina, and instead it was really Lorraine who was the female lead and kept Rentt’s head straight over the course of his long strange trip, and I liked this aspect of the show a lot as well. I also gotta mention the ost in this show, it really helps with the atmosphere and getting immersed, not to mention the OP which was a very cool song, as well as the ED which hooked me from the start and is one of those rare times where I can say it might just be my number 1 from this season, it’s so good. A Season 2 would be cool to see for this since despite the goal of Rentt becoming a vampire being reached, he still has not become a mythril class adventurer so in that aspect I feel things are just getting started, so of course I’d love another season of this. |
| a short story but okay i enjoyed it... doesnt seem to have a second season for this... but fine dont mind some ova with extra content |
| This was one of the satisfying series of Winter 2024. Even though it initially got some criticism for the use of CGI, it got better with each episode. |
This anime was about Rentt? Oh man, I really thought it was about Lorraine. Nooooo!! I'm gonna miss my waifu! |

| @Sokah There wasn't really any hero journey in first place. This is slice of life show. Only boon mask bring is that it hides his face and it was bought for that purpose. Blood need was addressed. Also we are talking about whole two women and only one of them has any significant screentime. |
| Nice and pleasant end :) The way they wrapped things up SCREAMS season 2 tho, so we'll be waiting! And of course, Lorraine is mighty fine as always ;) |

| another anime ended, damn this season went by so fast lol we got to see his flashback and know why he wanted to become a mythril class, rip his family and the girl the guy who saved him was also a mythril class and he told him how to become one ofc we know how that turned out, 20 years in training and still bronze lol tho, thanks to his luck, he got stronger by dying and reviving as an undead, and now as a vampire, he basically looks like his old self apart from his red eyes and the little wings that he can hide anyway apart from Rent... we also had other characters Loraine, Sheila and the other adventurers (like the couple and the blonde) were also fun to watch i'm not sure what to rate this, so i'll go ahead and give it an 8, it was a good anime, hopefully there's a season 2 someday |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| So it ended with a successful transformation and the reveal of the past. Really enjoyed the ride, kind of sad it ends here. Enjoyed this much more than the manga, a solid adaptation. |
 |
| This one was nice and cozy, but as is the case way to many times, it fizzled out in the second half. It attracted by the slightly slice of life, down to earth, adventurer who is very experienced, but kind of a pushover, so when he gets a slightly stronger body and a "face" that makes him isolated, he finally has a chance to advance at his own pace. This quickly gets thrown out of the window in place of standard LN "the weakest becomes the strongest through the power of plot" and it gets even more ridiculous in the manga ahead. So... a nice 7/10 or whatever from me. Lorraine is top tier waifu tho |
| Well, that's a solid backstory for wanting to become a Mythril-class adventurer. Poor Rentt. So Rentt got his fully human appearance back. I thought there were going to be a few more steps until that but it makes sense to have a full season with that goal and it feels good for him. It was nice to see Rina with Ryze and Laura but why the hell was she on the promotional poster side by side with Rentt? We've barely seen her xD. I'll take your word for it Rentt, I hope Lorraine will join you on future adventures. It's exciting to see what he can do now as a vampire but sadly, this is already over. I finally got to catch up with the series this week and it's been great to follow Rentt's adventures in his quest to regain his humanity while helping people along the way. Lorrarine has been wonderful, I've loved her since the first episode and I'm going to miss her. Hopefully we can get to see more of this series in the future. |
| I didn't like how they cut a majority of his backstory, but the ending was good regardless. It's one of the better fantasies out there, and I'm hoping a Season 2 happens. |
 |
| Lorraine is such a good character. Total support and understanding without the harping and no trying to change the MC. |
| I appreciated this series, not a masterpiece but a solid entertaining anime, interesting plot and fascinating astmosphere, and... Lorraine was a bonus. I would watch a season 2. |
| It was kinda funny when Rentt was floating naked in that shallow water and had no phallus XD |

I hope the OST will land on YouTube or something. 86 first of all, if you haven’t seen it. Then vivy, frieren and kusuriya, Bokuyaba, OnK, Onimai etc depends what you like normally. Anime in general is better than ever and getting better every season |
