3 years ago I watched the first season of Arifureta and I ended up liking it a lot, so much that I gave it a 7/10 mark very close to the 8. Apart from the classical Isekai scenario, the plot is immediately directed towards an astonishing character development of the protagonist, Hajime Nagumo, fighting against everyone and everything just to survive and so becoming literally OP. Deserved. He lost and he gained. I have to admit that 6 marks out of 7 were thanks to Hajime's character and personality. The biggest flaw was CGI, undoubtfully: it's not a baby flaw, it's literally an eyesight ruiner, but as long as it was the main big flaw (there were other problems, but not so serious), I could live with that. And I also understand why most of people found this anime deplorable and obnoxious.
Now I decided to face the second season and I won't deny it: I had big hopes. At first, I noticed that the CGI had a little poor short minor baby improvement and I was happy about that. Then, I faced episodes from 2 to 10. I didn't imagine it could have been such a torture. It took me many days to watch these 8 miserable episodes, between a yawn and a disbelief. Nothing important happens and when it does, something stupid happens to resolve the problem and the shit is served. I fought against myself for so long. I was gonna drop it and I was suffering because of this. I didn't want to give up to everyone who said this anime was pure shit. I believed in Hajime Nagumo. Then suddenly, the 11th episode. Something happens. Plot twists, fights, revenges, drama, even some good chats between characters (such a piece of news)...
After all, I rearranged all of my thoughts and I couldn't manage to give more than 5 out of 10. I can't give a 6 to an anime that forced me to speed up the video in order not to lose too much time with useless shit. In particular becuase the useless shit lasted something like the 80% of the anime. I don't even know if I'd like to be alive when the 3rd season will be airing. I've already reach the bottom of delusions.
