Story: 8/10
My favorite genre of anime is fantasy so I was quite excited to see such a well-drawn anime of that genre in the season anime list, but my expectations with the story were blown away. The story is told mostly from the perspective of Adlet Mayer, who proclaims to be the ‘strongest man in the World’. While yes, it is a simple story that follows the path of many fantasy anime (“Yeah let’s all go and kill the demon king!”), it brings to the table new elements which refreshes the classic viewpoint. The characters are rather unique, something that did bothered me is that
...
they didn’t made enough spotlight for everyone (that’s to be expected of the first season, let’s hope there’s a second season). Some may say it was a predictable ending but at least that made the plot smoother in my opinion.
Art: 9/10
It was the first thing that draw me into the anime, it’s stunning from my perspective. The background is something that is easily missed but if you look closely you can see how much effort they placed in it, surely the art is what will make it more memorable for me. I will be honest, I read the book before I even started watching the anime and everything seemed to fit perfectly, from the character’s expression to the scenery.
Sound: 8/10
Kenichi Suzumura will always make characters I fall in love with, simply that. The anime had two openings an/d 3 endings, which all sound great and fit the theme of the anime perfectly. Overall the voice acting was okay, but what took the price was the atmospheric sounds and music which made it more absorbing to the spectator.
Characters: 7/10
The development of characters was lacking but that’s only because it was meant to be that way (at least the story doesn’t ends on episode 12). Every character has their traits that make them different and unique, while a lot of things were left unexplained regarding certain character’s personalities. You can definitely see how characters grew in the series, some grow was rather forced and I actually did not like that. The main antagonist is the Majin (“Demon King”), who leads the Kyoumas, but this specific season doesn’t focuses on the Majin at all, even more it is not seen through the anime. I grew fond of all the characters (yes they are all my babies and I love them dearly), but if I had to choose from all I would pick Fremy or Nashetania.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I personally loved the series, but I will admit it has its weak points. Definitely would recommend it if you like fantasy-adventure animes, it also involves a bit of mystery that will not put you on the edge of your seat but will be amusing to watch develop. I will continue reading the light novel and maybe re-read the books from 1-3.
