Dekisokonai to jobareta moto eijú wa, džikka kara cuihósareta node suki katte ni ikiru koto ni šita

Honestly, this was probably the worst series I wasted my time on this anime season. The animation was weak, the music was forgettable, but those weren’t even the main issues. The biggest problem for me was the main character. His behavior and voice acting made him incredibly unlikable. Aoi Shouta's voice just doesn't fit an overpowered fantasy hero; it lacks the strength and presence needed, making it hard to take Allen seriously or respect him. His behavior was even worse. The protagonist wants to live as he pleases, which rarely works in any society. Despite the script throwing endless challenges his way, he navigates them with an irritating apathy. I found him annoyingly indifferent, not someone I could root for at all. The main storyline of the first half, which led me to drop the series, didn’t help either. SPOILER ALERT: When your father spirals into self-destruction after your mother's death and your troubled brother becomes dangerous, and you, with the strength and skills of a former hero, could stop it but choose to ignore it, you're the worst kind of scum. Allen’s failure to help his family when they needed him most made him a heartless, selfish loser in my eyes. END OF SPOILER By the time the series delved into the family backstory, I couldn’t see past how unnecessary it all felt. Allen’s easy solutions to other problems only highlighted his deliberate neglect of what truly mattered. Watching the seventh episode was a chore, and every appearance of Allen made me want to turn it off. When the new subplot also failed to grab my interest, I dropped it after episode seven. Were there any positives? Well, some of the supporting characters weren't terrible, though most were typical archetypes and future harem members for the useless protagonist. I was somewhat interested in Akira's storyline, thinking it could be better, but it didn’t seem like the author planned to develop it further. Maybe that’s for the best.Overall, this series isn't worth much, maybe a 2/10 at best. I’d only recommend it to die-hard fantasy fans who’ve exhausted all other options. (10/06/2024)
