Shinmai Ossan Bôkensha, Saikyô Party ni Shinu Hodo Kitaerarete Muteki ni Naru.

I didn't expect much going in, but this hit way harder than i thought. The main guy starts off weak and clueless, but through pure effort and nonstop training, he becomes a total beast. Every fight scene is exciting and sharp, and the animation holds up all the way through. The characters are actually written with care and you grow to love each one. There's no wasted time, just 12 solid episodes that know exactly what they're doing. Emotional moments hit, funny moments land, and the ending feels earned. It's one of those shows that quietly turns out to be amazing. I couldn't imagine this would touch me so much. I started late but who cares. It perfectly captures the idea that hard work goes a long way. The fights are epic, the animation hits hard, and every character feels just right. This was perfect.

(14+) A very good series because of the ridiculously powerful protagonists!! The main character is trained by the toughest adventuring party in the world, and his interactions with "normal" humans as a result of his crazy training is extremely one-sided as a result (even though he doesn't realize how superpowered he is for a long time). I was surprised that one of the initial mini-villains ended up becoming a main character, too. It was a twist I didn't see coming and really added to the series overall as she was really the only voice of sanity that realized just how ridiculously godlike they all were! It was well done! The running gag about his age was pretty funny and I enjoyed the series a lot!

If you enjoy shows like overlord, one punch man, or eminence in shadow, this one is for you!

The fight animation is wicked and it's filled with a ton of humorous moments that made me giggle as a 26 year old man. Rick is a likeable main character even though he isn't really the center of the show. This isn't a series to watch for a complex or interesting storyline, but it's one that satisfies my chimp brain itch of overpowered OC's railing against the world.

I look forward to this show every week and wish it was all out so I could binge it in a sitting.

It does one thing really well and that's my favourite kind of anime series.

The joke of calling someone 30 old and the main character bantering about his age like he's 60years old gets tiring. I don't even think someone 40 would cut it for the degree of ageism that is depicted as the running joke in this anime. Maybe if the main character was 50,60 or even 70 it would make more sense but I have to remember these shows are made for 12-14yo's that think someone 18 is old to them.

That's really all this anime is about. A guy being super strong and being called old every 5 minutes because he's 30. There is no real plot or even a villain and the series is highly and I do mean highly forgettable. By the time I looked up the show was 4 episodes from being over and I couldn't believe it because I felt like I was still watching the first episode.

I've never seen an anime that had no real story to follow. It's like the show is forever introducing the characters and you're waiting for the story to begin and next thing you know it's over.

This is probably a show best savored for children ages 10-14. It's incredibly underwhelming.

If you're looking for an anime that's both fun and easy to watch, this is a great choice. The show strikes a perfect balance between lighthearted entertainment and engaging storytelling, making it an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The plot might not be groundbreaking, but it's charming in its simplicity, with an overpowered protagonist that doesn't realize how powerful he is.

One of the highlights of the series is how it seamlessly blends action and comedy, keeping the pacing fast and entertaining without ever feeling too heavy or overly dramatic. The protagonist, a middle-aged man thrown into the world of adventurers after maxing his abilities out, provides a refreshing perspective compared to the typical young hero, adding a unique twist to the familiar fantasy genre.

In terms of animation and fight scenes, while it may not boast the most cutting-edge visuals, the show makes up for it with a solid consistency in quality and an energetic vibe that matches the tone perfectly. Each member of the powerful adventurer party brings their own unique charm to the series, making the dynamics between characters fun to watch.

It's surprising that this anime isn't rated higher because it delivers exactly what it promises: a light, enjoyable, and amusing watch that doesn't require too much emotional investment. For those seeking a break from more intense or complicated storylines, this series provides a refreshing dose of straightforward adventure and comedy. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for something that's both entertaining and stress-free.
