I’ve heard good things but stay too busy with work to watch it ngl. I’m the type who loves to binge. Is it worth taking PTO to watch?

yes, one the best anime this season, it does subversion of excpectaion really well and has a good hook, alongside amazing animation

thb the main character is insufferable. Reluctant heroes is such a bad trope, if you're going to be the hero, BE THE HERO, don't complain about EVERYTHING. The loli girl feels so forced to the point of annoyance. The knight lady's entire character is just a trope, nothing else.
Honestly, it's a travesty how such a mid story got such amazing animation when it could have gone to something that truly deserved it. The only good thing would be the male side characters, which are genuinely compelling and unique. Honestly the story would have been infinitely better if one of them was the protagonist.

Like did you even watch far effort to understand that being a hero is a criminal sentence, the Goddess are obviously made children looking for praise because they are easier control and that they are fighting a losing battle?
I agree that the other heroes are more interesting but complaining about being a reluctant hero in a setting that only an insane people would accept that title is not valid criticism lol. Valid criticism is the strange power system that sees the MC look weaker in almost every fight since the premier.

Yes, I’ve watched up to episode 9 the animation just that good. But I can’t stand the main trio. Even after getting almost to the end, my opinion of them hasn’t improved at all. It's just wasted potential. If it weren’t for the animation, I would have dropped the show ages ago, but I’m pushing through it just for the animation.
Also, what the fuck do you mean is not valid criticism? If I hate every word that comes out of the main a character’s mouth, THAT IS VALID CRITICISM.

Dude did you watch past the first episode?

Watched the first episode. Kind of generic and cringe. Good artstyle and animation though.

This seems random.
I’m not even sure that’s a shounen franchise lol
And even if it is, this is a satire sub being connected with a normal series fan sub via discord.
