Redo of healer offers us a few things, a unique take on the revenge trope, an interesting world, and psychotic antagonists. Oh, almost forgot, the sex scenes that take up a good 3+ minutes every single episode. This show really is an enigma. take every anime trope you, put it on steroids, and then you have this show.
It opens off with a broken, psychologically and physically assaulted character who used to only want to be a hero. It wouldent be until later on until he realized how cruel and corrupt they really were. Thats where things take a spin. Take that traumatized character, give him a second chance with all his previous memories, and lets not forget the ability to steal the powers of those he kills. Not to mention hes the horniest MC you will ever lay eyes on. As you can imagine, yeah, his character stays pretty consistent through the series offering ways of torture crueler then you could ever imagine, and not missing a second to screw people just for the fun of it.
If you watched this expecting a stable plot, solid characters/development, and independent side characters, clearly you cant read the comments. To put it lightly, this show is beyond fucked up. If I had a penny for every time I felt unbelievably disgusted, i'd use the money to buy a one way ticket to the writer of this show and sign them up for therapy. This show feels like the ultimate satire of all satires for the male power fantasy, and its almost funny how absurd the show can get at times. There were so many times in this show where i wanted to root for the mc, getting revenge on all the people who wronged him but i'd have to put myself in jail if I supported the way he went about this, even if they were creative and unexpected.
should you watch it? Yes, its certainly an experience, but only with the heavy disclaimer that it gets really. really dark. with a completely unfiltered exploration of dark themes, this series refuses to shy away from showing the audience the cruelest way of getting revenge from a complex protagonist thats driven to the absolute furthest point of darkness to achieve his goal, which in perspective, is actually good. By all means if you compare this to any other anime with some shred of dignity and intelligence, it puts this one to the bottom of the barrel. But if your curious, or even just think the art looks good, go for it.
you know what your doing if you choose the un-censored version.
