-Review for both the novel and anime, mild SPOILER ALERT-
Story: 8.5/10
Rokka no Yuusha is easily now one of my favorite series. The author gives a great and exciting telling of the action, and the unexpected plot twists are very, very good. It leads you to believe something, only to find out that there are a lot of other factors involved. While there are somewhat mild ass-pulls every now and then, it's mostly because they were hinted very subtly beforehand, making you focus on the happenings in the present.
Art and Animation: 8/10
The anime's art is awesome. The animation is high quality, and while you can see that they're not extravagant on big action scenes, it's enough to keep you excited. The MesoAmerican-Fantasy setting is very nice as well, and refreshing. While it doesn't draw you into the world that much, it's enough to be a believable world where the characters live in. Although I do understand that the quality drops midway due to budget cuts, but it's still acceptable and delivers during important scenes.
Characters: 8.8/10
The characters are well written, each of them feels alive with their own wishes and wills. The small, subtle, yet important hints of character relationship developments, the focus on certain characters per arc, and the distinct personalities of the characters, so you may not understand some of the things happening because of the limitations of the first season. I laugh every time because the team is highly dysfunctional. You'd expect them to get along and go with their goal, but no, a lot of conflicts happen along the way, slowly building up the characters.
Enjoyment/Overall: 9/10
I very much enjoyed Rokka no Yuusha. I'm currently fanboying over it, and it's been leaving me at the edge of my seat recently. And don't be mean to Rolonia~
AdletxFremy tho
