Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest

Finally a straight edge main hero who displays some good judgement. As when he finds a certain someone sealed in a heavily guarded dungeon he's like: "ok, there must be a reason for this" and is cautious. So good to see this, as opposed to predictable boring anime-style: "oh no this person is locked up, we must help him/her no matter what, how or when".

Another plus is that the anime is fast paced. There is actually progress. Bang bang and they are on floor 100 already. Not like black clover for instance where you'd be stuck on 1 floor with 20 fillers and 15 flashbacks stretched over 30 episodes.

It's also nice how the main hero does actually kill monsters instead of the usual silly mumbo jumbo you can expect in other anime: "oh no we must let everyone live no matter what blah-blah".

The only major letdown is how the big monsters are drawn out and animated. Almost painful to watch. You are left wondering what on earth happened there, did they not have enough budget for that or time (or likely both). Well, you'll see for yourself

Finally they actually kiss in this anime instead of acting like children are found in cabbage all the time. This to me is a big plus, adds emotional depth to the show and is a refreshing differentiation from what we see almost everywhere else.

This series had great potential, starts off really serious and dark but the tone completely changes from episode 6. They obviously tried their hand at commedy/harem but failed miserably to deliver anything funny or thrilling.

The character design is really nice, but everything else looks like grey goo with uninspired design and one of the worst animation I have ever seen.

I read that the manga is fantastic, but the anime failed to find its identity and couldn't stick to a genre. If I was to ignore the horrible animation for the first 5 episodes, it would get a very strong 8/10. The rest barely qualifies as OK time killer.

The first episode wasn't really that great, it was a bit too predictable and the animation was bad, particularly for the monster fight scenes. However, it got steadily better. The MC was pretty awesome and feels dark, sort of like Naofumi from Shield Hero. To be perfectly honest, Arifureta seems like the love child of Shield Hero and DanMachi, but with bad animation and some awkward but funny fanservice. However, its story was pretty good and intriguing. Can't wait for season 2!

Enjoyment wise, Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou does have an enjoyable start, which gives you a hope that Hajime Nagumo is going to become a new, interesting protagonist that has his ideals, desires.And as we all know everybody has a different opinion.Rating wise I was thinking it will turn out to be a bad anime but it still kept me entertained.As I said everybody has different opinion for some people it is good and for some people it is not.

Overall it's still worth watching ,don't let the rating fool you.It's 6.6 but still it is better than that.And the opening is full English to be honest.

A very good revenge story. Doesnt deserve the hate it gets, very underrated. Is on top with a few isekai's.
