Rokka no Yuusha

What starts off as a normal adventure and mission in normal fantasy story soon turns out to a dispute resolution for the episodes 4-12. There is actually no mission, no forward story to defeat the demon god.

Its weird in a way, it seems the whole story of defeating the demon god comes to a halt when a dispute breaks out between the chosen ones and then they just keep going back and forth running mind games and numerous scenarios.

This series is suited for someone with identity crisis, its more like a personal reflection and morality based story rather than adventure.

Also there is a girl with swamp super power. I literally meant it, they control the swamps by puking out what ever they eat. Don't ask me, apparently that's a super power in this anime.

Its a hilarious series, so I kept forwarding the anime every so often when I saw it was a drag.

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...

I watched the first two episodes. According to the one other reviewer on IMDb at the time of me writing this, it gets good after episode 5. Sorry, but I'm not the type of person who wants to wait that long in the hopes that something gets good. In my experience if something is going to be good, episode one is also good.

Visuals - The animation is alright. The fight choreography is pretty bad, along with some of the character designs. The overall look isn't terrible, leaning more on the generic side of things. I like how this seems to pull from cultures like the Mayans/Incas/Aztecs. Not a lot is done with this setting, but it is kind of nice.

Plot - This premise doesn't seem that interesting to be honest. There is some potential here, but it seems like its going to just keep being boring. The only real option I see from this show is the two leads (and others) melodramatically riding around on those horses for the rest of the runtime leading up to an unsatisfying fight scene as the finale.

Characters - I don't even know. There isn't a whole lot of development as far as I watched. I want to know why the princess has those ears.

This anime is very very good and I suggest every Otaku to watch it! Even doesn't have season 2 yet but it's great!

Pros: It's anime and has fantasy elements with some could-be-decent background story.

Meh: Characters are two-dimensional, it was obvious from the beginning who the fake was.

Con: Characters are ugly, fighting scenes make no sense, story is forced.

The basic story is a bad guy is coming, 6 good guys are chosen automatically and must show up at a certain point, but 7 people show up. After that the story is simply a poorly done whodunnit. After everything is figured out the season ends, so there is no real fight shown.

Conclusion: It's watchable, so if you're really bored it may be worth it. Otherwise, don't bother.
