Lorraine Vivie translated It might not be the best entertainment rush youre willing to waste time for and also because everyone values different things in a film. Nonetheless if you are the kind of idealist who is looking for sincere piece of work then this may give you one as long as you can tolerate the unpopular parts. Aside from the interesting journey to vampire evolution this show has intelligible characters that youll grow fond of. Its slow pacing was also compensated by the way it fits the story just right ontime. I know many have thought this as a generic boorish show generic fantasy setting usually has this stereotype let alone comprehend that this thing even has soul. I think so too if its judged from the overall score regardless to me it passes the first very thing any work of story should have: Respectable characters Its always nice to see an upright MC or heroine Logical its a fantasy but the assumptions and events are reasoned nicely Focused plot some trying too hard to entertain which backfires this one stays within its scope Balanced pacing a focused plot usually balance in pacing this show is just done in time and points are delivered Interesting/worthwhile goal staying for final vampire evolution ? Im in Hardly predictable in microscale this show is still on the mild side but not lazy it got some moves What could be improved ? Story wise a bit of minor adjustments like a more active villain roles might give it trajectory boost a bit of comedy then a meticulous cleanup on any potential cringe unintended one moment could elevate its classy delivery which I think is a suitable style for this show. It could also learn one or two from Mushoku Tensei about grossness which add realistic imperfection to the story Mushoku Tensei is a bit too much so take just a grain. Then comes the plot depending on what you mean by good plot is probably a series of turns that provide unexpected surprise and dynamism to the process. Unfortunately this one wont give you much that reason is that the premise was locked from the start but not the progression itself. As a result the story progressed sensibly in which often it allows unique scenarios to arise. Nevertheless It did still have a proper structure although it seems not to forced the sensible plot for the sake the predefined outcome this way you can enjoy the process naturally. Check episode where he encounters mysterious magic item collector Animation quality was rushed sometimes it breaks the acceptable biology and proportion but on average it didnt go as far to the point it broke the flow of engagement. Im not an expert on the matters and many great technicalities are all over the industry which they can look into. Unless its not about budget reasons my advice is to go far with the animation quality because it could gives utmost positive impression which in turn makes people stay longer. Soundtracks are great the opening song is unique while the ending is in the heartwarming one thanks to this talented musician Mao Abehttps://youtu.be/KLRtnsWXfE?si=7e1Rhqidfrz2Ea8. The rest of BGMs are nice as well it tries to differentiate itself and fits in perfectly. It even got flamenco style as one of their instruments I remember Bleach uses that heavily. Characters aspect is probably the thing that actually drew me in Rentt Lorraine Sheila blacksmith guy and the newbies are all crafted mindfully. They were perceptive and often displays complex human behavior like word restraint inner judgment and the ability to play subtlety with sarcasm Lorraine Sheila intense moment depicted this when Lorraine challenged her intention. Did I say this anime has the best characters of all time? not that far weve got many champions like Steins Gate which I think is one of greatest pieces of 2010s generation could ask for. In terms of spectrum that stays above this one by a considerable gap and so much great masterpieces out there we could learn from. 220https://i.ibb.co/zHQsyYk/image.png Final Verdict Its kind of lame show that wont flushes your brain with dopamine and adrenaline but oxytocin for sure.
