The Faraway Paladin

There are so many Isekais that this could be easily missed. I thought that the faraway paladin was a bit rushed to be consolidated into just 13 episodes for a season. I found the second part to be more interesting than the first but there are better isekais out there.

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.

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.

I have seen many isekai anime in my life and although many of them have similar concept, similar themes, similar MC (Protagonist), similar MV (Antagonist) and even similar story. Even so most of them felt enjoyable and worth watching. However, this anime "The Faraway Paladin" is just so boring. It is just a waste of time. The MC is just plain pathetic, lame and weak. Not likable at all. He cries a lot and wet his bed after seeing his step mummy mom half naked, which is encourage by his skeleton step Dad. WTF? The story doesn't seem to go anywhere. It's a stupid story begin with. Too many gods and demon kings, who are meaningless. The narrator says that these meaningless gods created the universe in a silly and stupid logicless way, then they fought with each other, blah blah blah. I am so bored. Just stay away from this sh**it anime.

This anime is like a retold Version of the Bible. The main character is made to be like some sort of Jesus and along the way he meets his disciples and builds his following. The series has its moments but it is at times rather dialogue heavy and becomes exceptionally boring. There are also moments where it holds your attention but the ramblings between the characters sometimes are like peering in on boring conversations.

There are some interesting concepts to this but I swear someone just remixed stories from the bible to make the plot to this anime. It's not entirely bad and it's not really worth anything under a 5 star rating on here but the show truly fails to make itself interesting at times when action would be more suitable. It suffers the same problem as "Attack On Titan" did when it became so dialogue heavy and veered from its original concept that it started to loose people's interests. Sometimes that seems to be a common problems with anime's that don't exactly know what they should be.

The second season of the anime is extremely boring. The main character is overly virtuous and it gives him a personality flaw. His boyfriend the elf also adds little to nothing to the story. I've never watched such a long winded anime. It's this entire series could have been done in a 1hr 30 minute movie. There truly is nothing packed into each episode but talking and occasionally fighting a monster that never seems to be a real challenge.

First season was so so and the second season was so so boring.
