TL:DR
Art: 8/10 (design-wise isnt impressive but the details on hair and muscles show the love that was put into the art)
Animation: 8/10 (i was expecting that horrendous 3d and moving jpeg-like animation but it was actually GOOD? what the hell??!)
Story: 9/10 (The reason is stated below, i can only sum to ''there's beauty in simple things'')

Do i reccomend it?: YOU SHOULD WATCH IT YOURSELF, NOW


Anyway, here's the essay.

... I'm not good at writing reviews but i felt the need to say something about this anime anyway.

Here i was binge watching some anime from the season that i left to pile up and then i came across this gem. Its so underrated that i had a hard time trying to understand how it didin't got some of the spotlight of the season.

This anime is about an almost middle aged man that had abandoned his dream of turning into a great adventurer just like the one from legend because of family matters and expectations piled upon him, forcing him to pursue a life that had a value on its own right but wasn't close to what his heart desired, making him get stuck between pursuing his dream or living an unfulfilling life.

Some of Rick's struggles are pretty relatable, where people often tells him that its too late to become an adventurer or even have a proper progress since debutting as an adventurer at ''old'' age imples that your potential to succeed in life is almost inexistent but despite that rick got the will and drive to improve himself that most of people doesn't have or didn't experienced before or forgot about.

I just can't put into words about how this anime suprised me, i was just thinking of it as a mid fantasy with overpowered but somewhat not boring/inssuferable mc and i was punched in the face like the rest of the cast lol, i was in a tough phase of my life and had almost the same issues as rick with his family and people near him, losing hope on the future because i wasted my ''prime'' and that caused me to lose interest in everything and put the bare minimum of effort on things just to keep living (i'm 28 as of now, and im pretty sure when i hit the late 30's i will laugh while reading this). This anime was a godsend and something that i really needed to watch, not just because of rick but every main and side character felt so interesting in its own ways that i had a good time. I felt as i was being told something like ''f*ck what people say, do what you love regardless of your age, its never too late to restart on life and pursue your passion, don't lose your drive, when you start to make your steps on chasing your own happiness then people that really care about you will come into your life when you less expect''.
