The Faraway Paladin

Just like vinland saga this anime does not boast about the strength of the mc but actually represents that how no war can we be won by a single person , the mc is powerful but still needs someone to rely on and also how religion can help a person follow a righteous path. The details in this anime are really precious as they are not exaggerated but beautifully connected how it could in reality. No doubt this anime is very realistic and has a great ending. Maybe the isekai part or rebirth part could be mistaken as kne of those powerful mc with cheats and hacks but this anime demonstrated that if you want to live a better life then you have to work harder as soon as you realize it.

I made an account just to write this review after reading some of these other reviews, The Faraway Paladin isn't your typical isekai as some would say, especially since most isekais are brainless harems anime's wrapped in a fantasy world, NOT Faraway Paladin, just from the start of first episode you can tell that it's a series made out of sheer love for the fantasy genre and classic D&D, it takes its time to tell you a story and gives you plenty of action, if you love fantasy, you'll love The Faraway Paladin.

Although the first season's opening was quite intriguing, the second season's plot, an ordinary isekai OP MC story with no creativity or effort, is more akin to the first season's conclusion. I'll just give you the highlights so you can go on to something better.

Normal OP MC isekai fare: our hero accepts "impossible" tasks and receives unceasing plaudits for his near-divine abilities. This time, "The Hobbit" served as the inspiration, and the majority of the season centers on the quest to kill a dragon by traveling to a ruined dwarven nation.

You're familiar with the scenario. While the new ones are introduced to further honor our hero, the old ones don't actually reveal much. With the exception of the newcomer who transformed from a wimp to a battle-hardened veteran in the course of around two episodes, only the party gets adequate screen time, and I find it difficult to conclude that they have made significant progress. To be honest, it looks cheap. The majority of the images are "servisable," yet other sceneries are simply unattractive and some objects appear dreadfully stiff when they move. Is it here at all, then? It feels more like "I consumed it" and moved on than like I actually loved the episode because it is so cliched, trite, and forgettable.

Nothing about this anime is worth your time. Its a 2 minute story stretched and stretched till it got boring and repetitive. I doubt the guys who made this even watched it after it got released.

THE FARAWAY PALADIN. (2021-2023) This is a slower Isekai anime series, to be sure, but not nearly a bad as some people have been saying. The pacing is certainly slower for an adventure fantasy series, with much less action, gore and battles than other more popular series of the same breed might have, but I feel the backstory is important as well as character growth, and so far this series has been great at setting up those things. The art is solid, as well as the characters.

The story centers around Will, a young orphan raised by three undead monsters (Mary, the Mummy, Blood, the Skeleton & Gus, the Ghost) in the City of the Dead, isolated and apart from humanity. As he nears 15 years of age he is expected to strike out on his own and make a life for himself. He sets out to become a warrior priest, giving rest to lost souls and making allies along the way, such as Meneldor, the half-elf.

Will, the main young man is boyish, for sure, and naive in the beginning of the series but hopefully will soon mature as the show progresses and more so after he embarks on his journey. That aspect makes sense, as he grew up very sheltered, with only the three undead monsters that raised him

Overall, it seems an interesting premise for this Isekai Fantasy Adventure series. Visually the show is well made, and the art style is very pretty. Recommended for more patient viewers, who like stronger character development and slower paced back story building.
