The Faraway Paladin

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.

This is such a wonderful reincarnation anime.

They did a great set up in the first 3 episodes and you can't help but like the protaganist/MC - Will...He is likeable and his adopted family members are likeable, even the grumpy old grandpa.

Then when he starts out in the world, he is not met by busty girls who have a crush on him, he instead are met by a wide range of interesting people, and Meneldor is my favourite followed by Tony.

I am so glad that it got a second season, and it seems like it will get a season 3. I loved it so much that the first time I watched it, I stayed up all night; the second time I watched it - was the next night - I just had to watch it again.

Please give it more love - its really great...I cried so many times.

The last season is the weak link, but still worth the watch.

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.

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.

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.
