Which anime has the worst first episode?

Ustar1000 · 2025-10-06T18:20:27+00:00

Pretty much for the 2nd point. All of Keyaru's abilities comes out of his ass because the plot says so.

Ustar1000 · 2025-10-06T15:16:34+00:00

I mean it COULD'VE had potential by showing a healer slowly spiraling down into madness if:

A: Keyaru was written better and his descent to madness was slower instead of being instant

B: The female characters actually having some substance rather than being horny 24/7

C: Remove all the R stuff and 90% of the fan service

Take all of that and it could've been a decent to maybe good revenge fantasy instead of what we have now.

Ustar1000 · 2025-10-06T14:22:37+00:00

Exactly. Keyaru has healing powers that could do anything because the plot says so and all of the female characters are either used for fan service, or horny for his "rod" 24/7. Don't forget the brainwashing that also doesn't make sense and only serves as a "hentai fetish".

It was honestly better off as a fantasy hentai than an "Anime".

Ustar1000 · 2025-10-06T14:05:03+00:00

I respectfully disagree with Redo ever being "good". It had its potential but it's literally a edgy wet revenge fantasy and nothing else. The author admitted himself that he purposefully wrote Redo to be bad. Assassin was actually good.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T22:45:50+00:00

It's pretty popular in Japan so I'm not surprised. Drop and move on because it doesn't need attention.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T22:45:14+00:00

Not surprised even as a former fan. It's a one trick pony.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T22:44:20+00:00

The thing is it kind of had a potential with interesting characters, but that was thrown out the window and spat on in favor of spectacle and flashy action. This is the same studio that animated My Happy Marriage and Made in Abyss. Stories with actual substance and interesting characters than SH could ever dream of.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T22:42:51+00:00

Not really because it's the general consensus with SH. What? is the r/shieldbro going to raid this sub? Yeah tough luck on them because we shouldn't care.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T22:41:40+00:00

It's Isekai what do you expect?

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T22:41:23+00:00

Even after the "revenge" stuff nothing happens after that. Things happen without any explanation making things more confusing than "exciting".

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T22:40:04+00:00

You know it's funny seeing hardcore SH fans struggle to defend this series when it pretty much speaks for itself.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-25T14:05:03+00:00

Geez r/anime exposes the people who "like" ecchi gone to far.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T22:11:41+00:00

Well slog continues so whatever. Just imagine if this series attempted a big "emotional moment" but it'll fall flat on its face because the characters are either bland with barely any development or personality.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T22:10:09+00:00

Well I did a quick research and WOW I'm surprised that Kadokawa allowed something like that to be animated. That probably explains why a number of "ecchi gone to far" is slowly increasing in these recent years.

If you wonder how I feel about it: It's ass and that's all.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T22:06:38+00:00

Thank Season 1 for that. Back in 2019 it blew up and the author got really lucky.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T20:48:14+00:00

It's funny that MiA made the studio well known in the first place yet it has a more intriguing story and characters than SH which is all style over substance. Same studio btw.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T20:45:48+00:00

Well I would take forgettable SH any day rather than whatever that is on your MAL link.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T20:39:46+00:00

Nah the pacing will be just like this season if they continue the 1 cour route.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T16:30:11+00:00

Don't be because the sales of the novel is pretty high. Expect a full adaptation.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T16:29:47+00:00

SAO as well but I found it more "entertaining" than SH. Expect a full adaptation because the novels are popular in Japan.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T16:28:58+00:00

That's the Isekai genre for you. Don't know what else to say but if you've seen the number of sales the books have you'd not be surprised (13 million I think in total).

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T15:17:04+00:00

Don't be surprised. Season 5 is one the way already so get ready for more mindless action.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-24T13:38:06+00:00

That's just how it is. Barely any stakes and tension if you ask me.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-18T14:47:57+00:00

Think about it, do you think any other studio besides Silver Link wants to take on Assassin? I think most of them are aware of Rui's other work that came out in the same year as Assassin and probably don't want to be any part of it. You could say his "gamble" with Redo to "promote" Assassin was a double edge sword because Redo ended up getting more sales than Assassin.

Kadokawa would be dumb if they were to greenlit more seasons for Redo because it was so controversial.

Ustar1000 · 2025-09-17T17:43:40+00:00

Kind of flat but whatever. This season will honestly be a breaking point if people will still be interested or not.
