Let This Grieving Soul Retire

i hate it so much ! in most of these anime when the characters is bad behind he has special skill but here he has nothing ! and everyone praise him ? they never question it and ask to see a real fight without his relics ? And for most part, i was like "why don't you act like a relics give you a curse that make you level 1 and got destroyed afterward and you ask your teammates to train you ?" but no, druing the whole anime, he doesn't even try to improve in any part and act like he's the best and likehe control everything and let everyone work for him.. It just anger me so much ! They could have done better.. i've almost watched everything, thinking "maybe something good happens, maybe he will realise that he need to work out ?" BUT NO ! During the whole anime, he doesn't do anything ! And never will.. It angered me so much.. i was expecting more. And more importantly, who give these levels ? How is the exam ? are they like "ok you have TONS of money and debt ? ok here your level 8" because that all i see !!! Anyway if you want to watch an anime with a characters that is "weak" and that behind is strong (but not OP, just strong into something else) watch Ranking of kings, that's the kind of anime i was expecting, not in the quality (bc RK is very good) but for Characters

When your only power is plot armor and it has carried you to a position where one wrong step can easily result in your demise, does it make sense to wish for an early retirement. In Let This Grieving Soul Retire do we follow Krai, the guild master of the strongest guild and leader of the strongest adventurer group in the country. The only problem is that he is the only one in the party without any powers, a thing of course no one believes,which gives people a completely different idea of what he is actually capable of. The plot in the show is very much drivenby Krai trying to run both the guild and his adventurer party in a way that keeps him out of trouble. But this is easier said than done, since everyone often takes his word either as a lead to a greater truth or maybe a bit too literal. Which results in all kinds of situations where his luck has to come in and save him and those around him. Which gives a fairly interesting plot, that includes some nice action and sometimes humoristic moments as well, it just feels a bit lackluster at times. When it comes to the characters are they a bit of a hit and a miss. The thing they do great is put in a variety of characters for Krai to interact with, that each see him in a different light. They also know how to give characters some good details that slowly are unveiled as we get further into the show. What most are lagging behind in is actual character progression since we are meeting most characters after they have “peaked”, and there is no real progression in their opinions or skill sets, which makes the great unveiling of their secrets feel a bit dull, since it's not really followed up. From this it is clear they have some great groundwork for the characters, there is just not enough that really pushes them forward. For the concept of the show, which is having a weak person somehow leading the strongest, is it a concept seen elsewhere. That does not mean that the concept is bad, and the show is definitely doing the concept in itself justice, they are keeping a nice play between people seeing Krai as he is and who they think he is. Which makes it quite interesting, but what makes it fall a bit behind is that they also sometimes play on ecchi scenes and humor. This just draws away from the original concept and takes room from the places that could use a bit more attention, which is slightly disappointing. Animation wise is it fairly good, with it having smooth animation through both in and out of combat. There are a few moments that seem a bit more clunky, but they have generally attention to the characters movement and a great choice in colour pallets. The show overall is not a bad show, it is just falling short in some places which is resulting in it being less captivating. So if you are really into this type of show and want to see more of it, then i would definitely recommend it, but if you want something with more detail in their characters and plot, then i would watch something else.

This anime is basically the definition of “How the hell did this even get animated?” Our MC, Krai Andrey, is not a genius leader, not a secret powerhouse, not even an underdog with hidden potential. Nah bro, he’s literally a walking NPC with god-tier plot armor. Zero skills, zero awareness, zero braincells. The only reason he’s “leader” is because everyone around him is written to be even dumber than he is like the whole cast took an oath to make him look smart. Liz, the heroine, clings to him like superglue. Their “relationship” is… what, exactly? Girlfriend? FWB? Emotional support animal? Honestly she feels more likea dangerous pet that just happens to sleep in his bed. There’s no depth, no humanity, just cliché fanfic energy. Then we’ve got Tino Shade, Instead of character development, all she does is scream “MASTERRRR!!!” every five minutes like a broken fire alarm That’s not cute, that’s auditory torture. The story? Predictable as hell you can call every “twist” three scenes ahead. The comedy? Dry. Not funny. Feels like rejected shitposts instead of actual jokes. Side characters? Completely absurd, existing only to make MC’s idiot luck look like strategy. At the end of the day, this show is a parody that doesn’t realize it’s a parody. It tries to be serious, but ends up looking like a bootleg comedy skit. It tries to be funny, but you’ll be staring blankly instead of laughing. My verdict? 1/10. And that’s me being generous because the animation staff probably cried animating this mess. Season 2 is coming, which means I get to watch Potato-kun stumble through another 12 episodes while heroines scream “Master!” like broken alarm clocks. At this point, I’m convinced the real plot is testing the viewers’ pain tolerance.

A deceivingly interesting show blessed with an exceptional amount of effort and love by its studio I would not blame anyone who glanced at Nageki no Bourei wa Intai Shitai's description and wrote it off as bog-standard seasonal slop; however, that assumption couldn't be any farther from the truth. The premise is simple and generic enough: the setting focuses on a guild formed by 6 childhood friends who dreamed of being the strongest treasure hunters, and which have since made their dreams come true. 5 of them are truly superhuman prodigies who stand at the peak of humanity's potential... while the remaining one, the show's MC,is actually extraordinarily weak in every regard. However, due to extreme, non-stop coincidences and misunderstandings, everyone can't help but believe he is some galaxy-brain genius which no one can even begin to understand. And yes, this unequivocally sounds like generic slop plot, not to mention it almost invariably overstays its welcome in other series which have tried it; but in truth, thanks to some very interesting world-building, this show actually makes this plot work consistently well to a surprising degree, and it does so despite being more focused on comedy than on any serious plot relevance Now that the introduction is out of the way, onto the good stuff. Instead of describing what happens in the story or the overall quality of the show like most reviews have already done, I'll try to convey what makes this show shine amongst its peers. We've all seen the sort of seasonal slop which introduces 40 different characters per episode, each as deep as a puddle and about as interesting. In this show's case, the opposite happens: despite knowing this story revolves around 6 friends, by the end of this season only three of them were properly introduced, with the remaining three being mentioned sometimes and sharing about 1 minute of total screentime between them. And yet, despite only using half of the main cast (so far), there is never a dull moment in the entire 13 episodes; there's always a new plot point leading smoothly into the next one, and throughout these situations we get to see our main characters being fleshed out much more deeply than you'd expect. It's an almost constant, steady flow of major plot points happening, leading into comedic misunderstandings, leading into interesting reveals regarding the main cast and/or the world in which they live, on and on and on. Hell, so much happens in this season that they couldn't fit any more of the main cast even if they tried, and I mean that literally; which leads us to the next point By now, everyone is aware of how slipshod animation gets for some series. Everything is lacking in effort, seemingly set up to churn out the lowest quality product that's still barely acceptable, and cutting every corner has basically become an expectation rather than an exception. Precisely for that reason, it's surprising to see a show made with as much love as this one. Don't misunderstand: Zero-G isn't ufotable, you're not going to be blown away by Fate-tier animation sequences. Rather, while the art quality is decidedly above-average, what really stands out is the extra effort they clearly invested. The show's OP is a great example of this: across the entirety of this season, you'll only get to see the entire OP a total of 4 times; more often than not, the show will cut into the OP all the way till its halfway point, and they even ditched it entirely for the last episode (and no, it's not because there was some high-stakes tense moment, they kinda just did it for the hell of it). The ED isn't safe either, and every so often an episode will steal time from it too. Rather than trying to cut corners and do as little as possible, the studio tried to cram in as much as they could per episode instead; so when I meant they literally wouldn't be able to fit in the other 3 main characters even if they tried, it was no exaggeration There's also all manner of little things that demonstrate Zero-G's continuous efforts to breathe extra life into this show: the ED always ends with some of the cast incorporating a bit of the next episode's plot into the music, and the OP always has a little snippet of conversation in the middle that's relevant to what's about to happen. A particularly humorous example happened towards the later episodes when a group goes into a bar and starts making trouble only to get their shit pushed in: everyone starts cheering, one of the bar girls jumps onto the stage and starts singing the ED, and all the patrons stand up and join along. The show is filled with this sort of stuff, which really sets it apart from all the low-effort series that gets pushed out every season I could go on and on about all other kinds of things, like how good the OP music is, how interesting and unexpectedly deranged some of the main cast is portrayed as, the small world-building intricacies that make this world feel actually dangerous even when this isn't the kind of series where anything overly tragic would ever happen, etc. But honestly, those are just the extra icing on the cake. The bottom line is, Nageki no Bourei wa Intai Shitai isn't the next 86 in terms of depth or quality, but it was made with a lot of soul, and perfectly does what it sets out to do: being a light, interesting, and consistently-entertaining fantasy comedy show If any of you ever watched a generic braindead seasonal series and thought "Damn, this might have been nice to watch if it didn't suck and didn't look like a newbie drew it", you owe it to yourselves to check this out and see what the genre can become when it rises above the slop
