Danmachi has never been a show that has stood out for its excellent story but for its first two seasons, it was at least competent enough to be watchable. But like many shows of its genre, it fails to understand how to keep itself fun. So what does the show do now? Mindless exposition dumps that take up half the episode followed by pointless gratuitous violence of characters I don’t care about followed by even more exposition. It attempts to build up tension and tries to make you care about all these monsters but all of it feels fake and forced.
I fail to see the appeal of the show anymore. None of the characters are all that interesting aside from maybe Ais and even she doesn’t have the screentime to make it worthwhile. The pacing is way too slow and there’s way too much talking. I could feel my brain slowly melting away getting five episodes deep. It’s no longer bearable.
If you had any doubts with the series before, stop right here. It’s not worth the time.
