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.

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.

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.

Completely uninteresting in a sea overrun by Isekai. Nothing about this show is interesting. In fact, it's slow, boring and the action is incredibly lackluster and weakly animated.

Studios need to stop releasing these crappy Isekai anime. The MC is lame, annoying and cries WAY too often. Jesus, where are the Isekai that have even half the qualities of Slime, Moonlit Fantasy, Knights and Magic, etc etc.

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.
