Rokka no Yuusha

So basically it's about a red haired guy who overthinks that he's **it hot and meets an annoying bunny girl who just can't stop talking.

Yeah I don't care what anyone else says but honestly the whole first episode made me go zz

It started off with a weak protagonist so seemed kind of boring in the beginning but really delivers his worth by fighting all of them, surviving and solving the mystery.

Starting 4 episodes narrates as if the anime is all about action with very weak action scene but the story gets interesting when the blame game starts.

Last episode final scene was a game changer and has me up for season 2.

Also, I love the little romance with action in the anime. Hope to see more action and mystery from it in the future seasons.

Seems like there is enough material for season 2 so can't wait for season 2!

Initially a common story, a great evil appears, an unusual hero that leads to the final struggle and victory of humanity. However, in the first episodes he shows what he came for, placing more unusual heroes in the middle of history, and instead of converting to fights he runs away from the pattern in the middle of an enigma, reminding the famous enigma of the prisoner, very well controlled with a surprise to the Final. Unfortunately still waiting for the next season.

Excellent story and well drawn. Starts out ok but then goes in a direction I could have not foreseen. The animation is done really well also. This is basically the first half of the book series. Where it ends is ok but leaves you ready for the rest. Its been like 4 years at this point. I can only hope they finish the series some day...

The main plot of the anime centers around the "Rising Daemon Lord" trope which is nothing new (but often entertaining) followed by a mystery.

The unique art, regional/cultural backdrop (Central / South American, Pre-Colombian), protagonists and their limitations mix pretty well with the storytelling creating an interesting world.

However the final minutes of episode 12 guts the series, killing the investment in the characters with a botched hook/ending.

All in all it's the animation and part of the story makes it a worthwhile background watch if you've got empty space in your catalog and I'd watch a 2nd season just to see if they could redeem the horrible ending.

Pros:

• Atypical local / backdrop.
• Good animation.
• Above average English Dubbing.
• Very limited and subtle "Fan Service".

Cons:

• No 2nd season.
• Predictable.
• Not a fan of the Assassins voice (English Dubbing).
• Storytelling could be better.
• Dark horse character's outfit is ridiculous.
• Terrible ending "hook".
