The anime does a pretty good job and delivers what it promises. The class system is explained thoroughly and is clear in showing that our main character, Ein, is in fact at the bottom. He pretty quickly turns this around when he makes new allies and gets pushed to the brink while training kind of like Tanjiro in Demon Slayer.
They made the acquisition of skills feel akin to Tensei/Reincarnated as a slime and while it isn't as exciting, it does feel like the MC earns their abilities and makes it satisfying. Well besides the cheating death with world tree tears part, but it isn't a huge issue. The combat is additionally pretty well animated and the cast is great and the characters all feel alive. I like the antagonists so far in Zoid, Jolene, and Echidna.
I am excited to see where it goes and each week's episode feels worth the watch. It may not be knocking it out of the park, but it's good in its own rite!
