| So as expected they rescued Ranta and even defeated that huge kobold. Guess they won't have any money problems from now on, especially if he can use that skill more often now. Overall the strong part of this show definitely was the soundtrack, really enjoyed that one. It had some nice and relaxing moments, but also some really boring ones. The characters were fine, but that's about it. 6/10 |
| Haruhiro beat the boss. 9/10 |
| In terms of fantasy shows, definitely the one with the best character growth. And hell, it has been a rewarding final episode. Although, I'm sad that it's already over. I just became so attached to the characters, the setting and the beautiful atmosphere of this anime. Think I'm gonna join the crowd that hopes for S2. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Decent show. I get that it presented itself as a more character-driven isekai, but the pacing still felt agonizingly slow at times. Other shows not so self-consciously "character-driven" manage the same amount of (or more) character development while better sustaining plot and action. Loved the character designs The animation, while generally solid, had some pretty egregious lapses, especially toward the end, and that scene of them walking down the alley in the ruined city still makes me cringe to think about. Also there are some lingering questions like: - Why did Haruhiro suggest the mines when he knew it would give Merry a panic attack (and did, visibly, but he didn't react)? - How did Ranta escape from the kobolds at the end of episode 11? And so on. Wish I could give it more than a 6.5/10. |

allblue1 said: Yeah, that's the main complaint I hear about Grimgar. That either the action and pacing is too slow, or about the animation. It can feel like a slow burn, but the action really does pick up later. If this does get a season 2, you'll get to see what I like to dub "the raid arc," and boy does shit hit the fan. As for your questions, I think Merry was the one who suggested the mines, well at least in the LN. I remember Haruhiro being worried about her, but maybe they changed it up for the anime? Ranta gets away with his demons help, I think. It's shown in the LN, I just haven't read that part in along time, so I'm sketchy on the exact details. I do hope it gets a S2; I'd watch it. I really liked the action in episode 8 (?), and feeling an actual twinge of concern that these characters could actually die, as opposed to most isekai where you know they won't. That just wasn't enough to overcome the pacing though. The show just felt spread too thin over 12 episodes. Oh well. |

| This episode had a couple of majorly illogical things (Ranta managing to escape from last episode's predicament with no explanation, that knife cutting Death spot's gigantic sword that destroyed everything else) but the series as a whole was pretty enjoyable. a 7.5/10 from me, rounding up to an 8/10 :) |
| Rewatched it again and though I'm noticing more hiccups than four years ago, notably in regards to production, one character and some leering camera angles, what I appreciate about the series was very much not a fluke. The narrating style of Haruhiro just works for me, even if I do doubt it'd work for all series! |

| Boring, slow, worthless anime. It's like one big filler without actual story - slice of life with typical dialogues and average people instead of interesting or unique at least characters. Absolutely worst example of genre. |
| I don't get why so many people are skeptical about this title. For me this is a great example of genre deconstruction, where unlike ton of other issekai anime nothing is given easy and you have to fight your way to live, and even weakest monsters are a threat and possess intelligence, where you have to take care of mundane tasks and when you are dead you cant simply respawn. Add here unique drawing style and you get a title which is vastly different from majority, more deep and refined, having more feeling into it. But no, people would better go and watch another game-like issekai where main hero is invulnerable and powerful enough to bring the world to his knees starting from ep1 (SAO fans, are you here?). |

Askaa said: I know it was unfinished; It was all over everywhere that it wasn't when it aired. Where the BD version is aside from purchasing said version, I would not know and I've not been bothered to find it as of yet.Tylaen said: I believe I watched the TV version both times, insofar as I'm aware. then you should check out the BD version of haruhiro vs death spot it was more smooth than the TV one i believe the TV version was unfinished |

| Dang it I should’ve fondle her flat chest Oh man it’s over already, I wasn’t expecting to end up needing more, I even thought I was gonna drop this after a couple episodes. Perhaps the light novels can indulge me So yeah not much here story wise, but I don’t think this anime adaption in particular needed that. I appreciated the laid back format, definitely different from the rest of it’s fast paced genre. Still kinda sad it wasn’t renji stepping in at the last minute to slag the beast, but then again it’s cool to see how op haru’s power was It’s 4:30am and I binged watch this in one night, quite worth it tho. Not exactly quite there to give it a 7/10 for me, but it did me a solid so I’ll give it a nice even 6/10 (that’s more than a pass for me, I overall did enjoy it). |

| this was sooo bad, 4/10, if not for nice color palette and mary I'd rate it even lower "I'm 14 year old and this is deep" tier trash |
| Seriously, this was over the top intense. I was nearly convinced Ranta had lost his life when I saw the bloody helmet. The situation looked hopeless. But he has the devil's luck. And then Hal, left to take on Death Spots alone. And alone he defeated that monster. Goddamn what a warrior! Hal's a true leader now. Anyone would follow him straight into the jaws of Hell with that kind of spirit. I guess they are a "party" now. Great show. I introduced my neighbor to this series tonight. He said it reminded him a game he used to love playing. Great series. And to think I watched this as "filler" while waiting for the next great anime--well it IS the next great anime. The downside is where to go from here... |
Was reading the light novels and caught a good quote from Haruhiro. Decided to format it into a sort of meme: |
| My 116th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| Finished rewatching this and this show was somehow even more underwhelming than when I first saw it years ago. Besides the watercolor feel to its backgrounds (which were sadly repetitive because of the lack of change in setting throughout this season), and Merry/Mary being okay I guess, didn't really like anything else about this show when rewatching it. Even a lot of the insert songs didn't mesh well with the incredibly bland setting. Sometimes, the music even felt distracting with some of the more serious scenes/montages since the music didn't mesh well at all, like oil and water. The general music clashed with the setting in my opinion and this really prevented any kind of immersiveness from taking place for me ;unlike other fantasy series like a Made in Abyss or Mushoku Tensei with how they flesh out the setting really well accompanied by fitting and engaging music choices. Enough of ranting about the music, not much else impressed me about this particular rewatch. |

| A 10/10 from me. Is the novel worth reading though, or is it all downhill from here? |
| well i liked maybe 4 episodes in the whole thing. the show had a lot of decent parts, i did like the ending a lot. i feel like this all could have been condensed to 6 episodes though. maybe they were going for an artsy fartsy emo feel and yeah the art was nice but that doesn't mean you have to have 2000 still frames and dozens of overly long inserts with people just walking. a lot of mundane dialogue as well. if it had been properly condensed i'd give it a really good score but i think the best i can do is a 5 or 6. i'd still watch a second season but i guess i'm going for the novels instead. not sure where to start. oh and that skill was smart, i thought the eyes would be a good spot from the start but man death spot totally jobbed that one. |
 |
| Overall, this has been a great series but perhaps also one of the most flawed; all of the best things about it can also be considered its problems - the slow pacing and focus on character relationships was nice but it also meant that there was little actual story and not much progress happened in the end; the atmospheric, almost 'music video'-esque feel to the series due the frequent use of insert songs and slow montages was definitely unique and interesting to watch but it was also repetitive and sometimes felt overplayed and routine rather than impactful; and while the scenery and art was beautiful, the animation itself was either average or even terrible and shoddy at times. 7/10 |
 |
| It's a pitty the final. |
