This review at most contains maybe a few minor spoilers here and there but I try my best to avoid them.
So This is actually the first review that I write on an anime but I think I have good reasons for this one because for me personally this anime was not worth the time watching. Remember this is an review but also my own opinion so you might not agree with me even in the slightest but that's alright.
Story (3/10)
While I found the story relatively poor and despite still having hopes after the 3 and 4 episode that something might start hapenning I was basically smashed in my face by how the story turned out to continue. Don't get me wrong an anime and it's story doesn't have to start out right in the beginning to a point where it is unbelievably intense and interesting but the problem that I had was that I didn't really had an idea what the story and the idea of the anime was. This leads to the point for me that I still don't get why only in the last episodes there are scenes that contain really much of a story but in the beginning everything that might help in understanding the story line and what the characters are doing is lacking completely. And again I'm not considering the lack of information about the characters and how they actually came into this world problematic but rather that for me personally they are just thrown into some scenes where they fight those goblins where I started thinking alright I already get the point that they are weak and stuff like this but this was rather difficult to watch due to the fact that it really didn't lead to anything. In essence I'm trying to say that there was potential in e.g showing more of how they got their abillities rather than the really resembling hopeless and helpless situations regarding the fights with the goblins over and over againg. All in All it resembless the first season of sword art online where the potential for a really nice storyline was just thrown away by skipping the probably most interesting parts and in Hai to gensou no grimgar there are for me really parts that are lacking and parts that are shown way too much which really make the story uninteresting and not really worth watching at the end of the day.
Art (6/10)
The art is actually quite alright nothing overly good but also not bad I think it just fits the setting and emotion and also probably this theme of a party with different characters filling different roles so on this Aspect I wouldn't say it's bad nor it's overly good. Just fitting art to the anime itself
Sound (6/10)
Same goes for the soundtrack of the anime. It fulfils it's role and is really nice in certain emotional moments and also in fights and in between it's also enjoyable but again it's nothing extraordinary where I would say you definitely have to listen closely because e.g it's really connected and attached to the scenes I would rather instead say that the soundtracks and sounds are helping this anime together with the art to make it more enjoyable for us viewers.
Character (4/10)
Without going too much into detail it definitely is one of the main aspects along with the story that really makes this anime not enjoyable for me personally. There's some really enjoyable characters on the one hand but on the other hand characters that really left me in disbelief on how bad they were regarding their personality. I assume the majority wasn't disturbed by the fact that some characters and one character espacially are really disturbing the story. This and other reasons regarding the characters in the story itself are the reason for my bad rating regarding this aspect although there still are really enjoyable characters
Enjoyment (3/10)
All this aspects left me really not enjoying this anime all too much at the End but still it's a personal opinion and I can understand why many of the people who watched Hai to gensou no grimgar enjoyed the anime to certain points.
Overall (3/10)
