That one anime with an extremely long name, what is deemed by many as that notorious over-hyped SAO copy, aka "DanMachi", is an rpg/mmo sort of anime where the characters all have stats and abilities unique to each person and follows the growth of the extremely kind, driven, and passionate MC known as Bell. The premise of the series and the main character are nothing especially unique and new but that does not take away from the series.
Everything about DanMachi is, at the very least, decent. I would say the most lacking components are the story and the sound. The story was certainly rushed
...
in certain areas due to the fact that this season was a promotion for the light novels. As per usual, much content from the original source gets cut out in the animated adaptation. As for sound, the OP and ED were okay, they weren't especially memorable or catchy to me but that is just my personal opinion; the music for the relation building scenes versus the action and hyped scenes certainly did their job.
What stood out most to me from "DanMachi" was the awesome quality in art and style. When all other aspects of a show are good, even greater animation can turn an average show into a memorable series that allows the viewer to really become immersed within the world presented.
I won't lie, I do enjoy me some "plot" here and there, and DanMachi doesn't disappoint in this regard; however, if you refuse to watch a show or will only watch a show if there are scantily clad girls or mandatory bath scenes, then please try and look past that going into this series as there is much more than meets the eye. Only you can really be the judge so why not give it a shot?
