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

Cinematography / Animation: The animation in this anime is INCREDIBLE! You will NOT be disappointed. The fight scenes were so fun to watch because they were animated so well. I've seen many people talk about the fights towards the end of the anime, but not many talking about the very first fight. That was the start of how great this animation was going to be.

Editing: We definitely had a story here. Rick wanted to be an adventurer. We got the backstory to how he got his REAL start, we got the backstory on his training, among a few other things. And they were placed properly as well... obviously annoying when they have to happen during a fight scene, but they actually are informative and make sense. There were no moments in the anime where a cut or episode did not make sense (as in, it was out of place). One thing that stood out was the character development of two specific characters. Most anime's I have seen with rivals, the rival constantly just hates the other and it becomes unbearable but in this case, they actually accepted Rick (to some degree).

Mise en Scene: One thing I liked about this anime is that if something was broken, it stayed broken. There are so many times where you cut to something and it isn't the way it was in the previous scene. But in many fight scenes and even some scenes that weren't fight scenes. The continuity between scenes were good, and even if things weren't the same, they either showed you why or told you why so you weren't left in the dark.

Performance: I want to compliment the emotion portrayed by each individual character in this anime. But I specifically want to applaud Takuya Satou (Rick) and Katsuyuki Konishi (Kelvin). Rick's ever changing emotion was fun to watch. I specifically enjoyed when he was angry (on someone else's behalf) or scared. Those two emotions were portrayed PERFECTLY in my opinion. As for Kelvin, the defining moment for me was how the actor portrayed him when he was having fun. That one emotion in response to someone else, gave me goosebumps.

Sound: The sound was incredible. The sounds in the fight scenes, the sounds when emotions were expressed, there was not a single sound in this anime I did not like. I will say... one character's voice irritated me, but it was necessary and I still enjoyed every sound despite that.

Overall this should definitely be an anime on your watch list. I hope it gets a second season.

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.

I NEED MORE SESSIONS TO WATCH !!

I was hesitant at first to watch it but after watching the first few episodes, I fell in love with the series. Great storyline and is very easy to follow, The characters are fantastic and really easy to get bored with.

The writers and producers would really be missing out on something if they was just to leave it where it was.

They could easily get out more series from the different characters and make plenty of storylines.

There are a few characters that are dislikable but I think this is because the writers was really good at making them

It would be a great shame if they weren't to continue this!!!

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.

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.
