Veteran adventurer Nick, mage Tiana, cleric Zem, and half-dragon Curran each show up alone at a tavern, only to find themselves seated at the same table. As the night goes on, they take turns divulging their grievances and the hobbies they have taken up as a means of coping. While their stories are utterly different, there is one common thread: betrayal. Each of the four, having been bitterly betrayed by someone they treasured, has developed a deep-seated distrust of humanity. But in addition to their similar worldviews, the four have one more commonality: a critical lack of funds. Realizing that things cannot continue as they are, they decide to form a party, rank up, and make as much money as possible to spend on their respective hobbies. What these disillusioned adventurers do not know, however, is that they will one day save the world from unfathomable peril. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Nenhum episódio encontrado.
Ningen Fushin started out as one of the most promising shows of the season. One of the latest in the “banished from the hero’s party” style of betrayal and redemption fantasy shows. Unfortunately what started out as a promising fantasy show with a fun cast devolved into a directionless mediocre story with no sense of purpose. I want to be clear that while Ningen Fushin definitely fell off I still liked the show for the most part. I’m just disappointed that it wasn’t as good as it could have been. The first few episodes give us a ragtag group of adventurers who have been cast outby the world and betrayed for various reasons, coming together to form a party and slowly but surely opening up to one another. Seeing the characters’ mini arcs, how they went from being on top of the world to rock bottom before ultimately meeting the others was really cool. I thought there was something natural about how all of them reacted to that trauma and moved on from it. Once those mini arcs stopped though, around episode 6 or so, we got a couple of what felt like filler episodes before getting into the next arc which frankly just felt weak. I do understand that this is of course a light novel series so the second volume was probably just weak compared to the first, but still, it’s a bit jarring with how good those first few eps were. It felt like the last two episodes are where the actual meat and potatoes of the story gets going and where the series starts to earn it’s “disillusioned adventurers save the world” title. I think it probably needed 24 episodes to really do well here. Where the series is really lacking is in the art. The animation is pretty bad to say the least for most of the series. It’s acceptable to have bad animation when the story is good enough to overlook it, but after those first few eps when the story quality went down, the animation started sticking out even more. I mean some of the scenes look like they were done by me in MS paint or something, it’s that bad. The character designs are ok when the characters aren’t moving, but any action in a scene and it quickly starts to unravel. Ningen Fushin is an enjoyable but not mandatory Winter 2023 watch by any stretch. It’s got an interesting premise, but fails to really make the most of it. Instead becoming a rather generic and run of the mill fantasy series that, while not bad, isn’t anything special. Ningen Fushin gets 7 out of 10.
This show is the perfect example of an interesting premise with poor execution. A group of outcasts form a party and begin adventuring and learning to trust again. However, the show takes multiple weird turns like modern/advanced tech in ancient locations, multiple episodes on side characters no one cares about, and generally no adventuring outside of the town that they live in apart from a few dungeons. There's also the issue that some of the animation is rather unpolished in some places, whether it is awful perspective or missing frames of animation that makes movement stop-motion like. Finally, the show spends too much time on charactersindividually listening to their thoughts, watching them go about their hobbies, or listening to a long sobby backstory. There's not much meat on the metaphorical bone so I would recommend not watching this; 3/10 just listen to the catchy ending song and enjoy that.
This show is the epitome of the famous saying: One man's trash is another man's treasure. Or to put it another way: the majority thinks that this show is fantasy trash, but to me, this show is fantasy that's out-of-the-ordinary charming, in its own way. Ever since recent times, the "Banished out of the Hero's Party" fantasy sub-genre has been gaining lots of traction ever since the said series was released back in Fall 2021, and it's been almost a good 1.5 years having different shows showcase more of this trend. But as I've said before in previous reviews, when one show becomes too popular, theAniManga industry will start picking up on these trends and come out with the most trash and generic series of works that are popular in its own right, not caring for quality but pumping out quantity. Case in point, the lone novelist by the name of Shinta Fuji, with his sole work that is Ningen Fushin no Boukensha-tachi ga Sekai wo Sukuu you desu a.k.a. Ningen Fushin: Apparently, Disillusioned Adventurers Will Save the World, which considering its time in Syosetu since January 2019, it's still quite a recent series that the difference of 4 years between novels (Syosetu and LN) and anime (adaptation), don't really matter quite a lot. For the Average Joe, once you hear a trope, you'll ALWAYS remember a trope. So many works have Heroes (in their own right) getting booted/kicked out from either their own party or organization (see this season's Kaiko Sareta Ankoku Heishi (30-dai) no Slow na Second Life), only for them to develop their new life and having their past's vestiges come haunting when necessary, NGL, it's becoming increasingly stale. But when you apply this formula into not one person but a group of people, it changes the formula and provides something fresh to the table. Case in point, this show's story about a group of adventurers who are betrayed in one form or another from whence they came from, all coming together to form a party after quote-unquote "being disllusioned and jaded by the people around them" enough to bear a distrustful mark on humanity, wishing for nothing but humanity's downfall. You have the typical adventurer Nick, the sorceress Tiana, the ex-priest Zem, and the dragonkin girl Curran, all with their same-old dispositions of how they got booted out in the first place. Starting off with Nick, his story is that the kick-out is not the only thing adding to his displeasement, it's also his girlfriend who scams the living hell and dumps him when he is not able to provide to her source of income. Dejected, he develops the otaku lifestyle in the form in idols through the teen idol Agate, which this is actually the first time that I'm hearing of an Isekai/fantasy world having such idiosyncracies that it feels whack-a-mole-ish, but I was definitely taken aback and surprised at the show's philisophy of "anything goes". The problem is, idolship also needs funds, and Nick goes in search for a party that would help support his lifestyle. It's at this juncture that he meets 3 individuals, all of them with their own story to tell. With sorceress Tiana, her story is that she is a magical prodigy, that like Nick, suddenly got slapped the other cheek by her fiance to become a gambling addict, thereby failing at her adventurer status because of her glaring, serious-looking eyes that scares away potential party mates. For the ex-priest Zem, he was a Healer Priest who was just your typical fan-favourite doctor, until a young village loli tried to take advantage of him, only to accuse him of rape, that despite the glaring truth, people just don't care and beat the living crap out of him and strip away his license of priesthood. Things got worse for Zem as in the midst of becoming an adventurer, he turned into a drunken womanizer after being freed from the vow of chastity. Last but not least, the dragonkin girl Curran's story being the most despicable of all: serving the human that she believed would become the fantasy world's hero, after being saved from a swindling incident with a merchant and having him expose the crime to be handed back the necklace of memorabilia, which contains a picture of her and said hero. But as per usual, the hero took adventage of the unsuspecting Curran and steals the necklace containing an entity that she was tasked to secure with her whole life. To put it simply, Nick, Tiana, Zem and Curran are wannabe disillusioned adventurers that have been commonly betrayed by their own kind, apart from initially the lack of funds to do what they really want by forming the party that would otherwise in a typical party, be simply impossible to deal with based on their circumstances. And more often than not, this makes for an interesting combination of not the perfect team, but the betrayal team that they call "Survivors" because they have survived off their own peril to live to tell their story, that one day, like any other typical Hero's Party in the most generic of generic storylines, save the world from ruin. And I have always been an advocate for interesting storylines such as these amidst the boring tropes that the Isekai/fantasy genre has come to give the audience as time quickly passes by, because one slight change to the formula, can make something totally fresh and innovative, only if the execution is done right, which this show unfortunately, has a hit-or-miss record due to this show being Shinta Fuji's only lone work. It's a risk trying to input something as tropey as an idol segment that would otherwise be out of place in a regular fantasy world, but props for trying to stand out amongst the crowded pack. Obviously, the production is not going to win any awards, for one of the worst produced shows of the season that as ass as the story is, the animation is laughable at best. Director-cum-series composer Itsuki Imazaki with character designer-cum-animation director Hiroo Nagao have a lot of shoes to fill on the production side of things, and this is not the first time that both of them worked together as a duo, as the 2nd outing after Kawaikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka? a.k.a HenSuki back in Summer 2019. The studio Seven director working alongside Geek Toys as a collab production is nothing to scoff at, if you have the taste for subpar produced shows like HenSuki and this show. It's obvious as hell that production is the lowest grip of the show, and I would agree with you of any sentimentality that this could be produced better...somehow. The music truly is one of surprise as it comes from composer Ryo Takahashi, but ultimately it wasn't enough to salvage the poor production values that this show suffers from. At least the OST is kinda decent in spots, but also an area, where depending on your AniSong taste, can be either decent or downright bad. Shunichi Toki's "Glorious World" for the OP is surprisingly good...after a couple of listens, and his voice as Zem can take a bit getting used to. Mao Abe's "Never Fear" for the ED may look out of place and janky and something that's only fitting for an ED, it's also a pleasant listen. But above all, the OST is something that is kinda forgettable in spots. Despite the poor production values and somewhat limited aspect from the story segments that are hit-or-miss affairs, Ningen Fushin is undoubtedly not a show for everyone. But to those who can appreciate differences in the approach as opposed to the generic Isekai/fantasy mish-mash of the current era (like I did), then there's something to be worth remembering about this show that as unceremonious as it stands out from the pack, at least it's an alternate take on the same tropes that turned out to be surprisingly decent. Fair warning, give this the 3-episode rule. It doesn't take a big brain to understand this show, but it depends on you.
Look. Some anime are full course gourmet meals. Some anime are bad microwave burritos. And some anime are soup. Plain, regular, out of the can soup. Not mindblowing, but a staple comfort food. You won't remember the meal, but it filled you up, and you enjoyed eating it. This anime is canned soup. Now, there were a lot of things I really liked about this show, and a lot of things I didn't. Let me detail the major negatives first. 1) the animation is uh. Not great. It's not horrible, but it is distracting. There is maybe two or three really good shots in the whole show.Fight scenes are not good, there's a reliance on close ups, and all group shots look derpy. There are a few scenes that use 3D models to fill out crowds and oh boy is it noticeable. Genuinely, some of the animation is just wonky enough to detract from the story. 2) Zem is a majorly underserved character. His backstory hinges on some very touchy subjects that I'm not sure the show did well enough with to justify their inclusion, and his "arc" (if you can even call it that) is real nonexistent. He is by far the least developed character in the show despite some solid foundation and promise. In the end, they writing just doesn't seem interested in actually engaging with him, which makes the little bits you do get of him feel a bit tasteless and even uncomfortable. 3) There are a lot of dark-skinned side characters and maybe one of them is a half decent person. The others are violent, mean, or, animalistic, or rude. I feel like I continually see this in "adventurer guild" style anime, and I'm tired of it. Give us some decent dark-skinned characters who are treated just as well and just as diversely as the light-skinned characters. 4) I feel like the anime is definitely skipping over major elements from the source material, because during the first two episodes, I paused and went scrounging for a wiki to explain to me exactly what happened in some of these characters' backstories. Nick and Tiana were the worst served by this, as Tiana gets two and a half short scenes to explain the "scandal" she was a part of, and I STILL don't know exactly what happened there. Nick's story is extremely blink and you'll miss it practically right at the beginning of the story. I still don't entirely know what the whole thing in the synopsis about embezzling funds was about, it just seems like he just got kicked out for no reason. Okay, those are my main gripes. Here are the things I liked: 1) this is actually a really fun and unique fantasy rpg world. I like the anachronistic bits. This will be hit or miss for a lot of people, but I love that there are people in suits, random modern casinos, and idols interspersed with people in tunics and swords fighting monsters. It rules. 2) the characters are genuinely fun and engaging and have really good dynamics. Zem’s poor writing aside, the characters are all genuinely very fun, engaging, and have interesting dynamics. I really like how they are all portrayed as traumatized people who are actively working to improve themselves and learn to be vulnerable again after losing things that were important to them. I especially love that all of the relationships are totally platonic, and there’s very little to indicate that there’s going to be a romantic subplot, which I feel would have muddied things. There’s just a good laser focus on these young adults working through their baggage while learning to rely on each other. 3) this genuinely may be one of the best fantasy genre shows I’ve seen in regards to diverse and interesting female characters. None of them are treated as fanservice, and all of them are allowed to be as weird, silly, and interesting as the male characters. They’re all very unique and allowed to have their own arcs, and most importantly, they all get to develop rapport with the male characters as equals, which i feel like I don’t get to see enough in these fantasy rpg stories. 4) some have mentioned that the meandering style of the story without a huge amount of plot wasn’t something they enjoyed, but I actually did. I think if you like slice of life stuff as well as fantasy, you’ll get something out of this. This story is more about the characters and their interactions over a long-running plot, and I appreciated that. It very much felt like watching the animation of someone’s D&D campaign, and it had a sort of homey feel in that sense. In all, I while I don’t think this show will leave a super lasting impression, I’m generally pleased with what I got to see, and I’d definitely pick up a second season if it happens.
This anime has some of the best characters progression and development I've ever seen. While this anime has it strong points in character writing, progression, and music, other aspect are still very mid in the same genre and the story doesn't have that much of substances, that's the main reason it lacking in scores. The premise itself is very interesting and is what really made the main cast character shines and make their development of themselves and between them and others really full-filling and enjoyable to watch. Category review: Animation and actions : 5/10 Story and Telling : 6/10 Sound design and OST : 8/10Characters and progrssion : 10/10 overall score : 8/10
It started strong with a cool premise and interesting cast with tragic backstories. Then after episode 4 they stop going to dungeons or adventuring and the rest is pure filler. So disappointing. Who green lit this trash? I'm not even exaggerating. Have an episode just messing around, one doing math, another gambling, another that is the backstory of some character not even in the party that is irrelevant, 3 episodes that are just a filler messing around in town looking into a rumored person, then closing out with messing around in town filler. Despite the premise that the group would eventually one day save the world, theywaste the entire show not even starting down even in the direction of that path, making no progress whatsoever. It's just pure wasted potential.
Very mild character spoilers for Episode 1 Ningen Fushin is one of those shows that falls under the radar during its airing season and is rarely talked about during or after its airing. What makes this show fall under the radar are the flawed main characters. All the main characters in this show were “too human” in a way. For example, Nick, our main male protagonist and swashbuckler, gets kicked out by his adventure party leader and dumped by his girlfriend because of it. Instead of moving on, he gets depressed, spends all of his money on an idol girl, and fails at attempting to join orform a new adventure party because he “can’t believe in anybody anymore” because of his old party and ex. Tiana, our mage, gets dumped and cheated on by her fiancé because she was doing better in magic school than him and took the number one spot at the school from him. She decides to leave the school after that, even though she only had one year left before graduating early. Attempts to get a normal job fail, so attempting to make some money, she gambles all her money away on dragon racing. As a last resort, she decides to attempt to become an adventurer but has a hard time because she “just can’t trust anyone” after being betrayed by her fiancé. Honestly, Zem, our cleric, is the only one who can complain about his backstory. My boy Zem here was a promising and respected cleric who one day rejected a love confession from a child. The kid decides to falsely report him, gets locked up in jail for three months, and then gets banished from the church. Now Zem “just can’t trust anyone” and becomes an adventurer who enjoys girls and getting drunk, things he wasn’t allowed to do before he was banished. Our last main character, Curran, is a great swordsman and the vanguard, who also “just can’t trust anyone” because her last party abandoned her. Also, she likes to eat a lot of yummy food, so she’s broke as well. Our four “heroes” accidentally meet up at a restaurant across from the adventurer’s guild, and after a night of exchanging stories over a lot of beer, Nick decides to create a party with the four of them because all of them have trust issues as well as money problems. An idol otaku, a gambler, a carouser, and a foodie—all who have trust and money issues put into a party together—what can go wrong? The party is built on trust and distrust, which means a lot since adventuring means putting their lives on the line, and when dungeon exploring, trusting your party members could mean the difference between life and death. The adventure party “Survivors” was originally created to make money so that each of the four members could indulge in their random hobbies, so there’s no way a group of randoms who have trust issues would be able to accomplish anything amazing like saving the world, right? Right?! Story 4/10: In what universe do four people spend five lifetimes worth of money in between one episode? So unrealistic! How did no one invest any of their money? What happened to the bookkeeping? Well, I guess if they hadn’t spent all that money, they would have retired from adventuring, and the anime would have ended early. MC pockets have holes to force the plot to move forward. Overall, the rest of the story was pretty good; each episode had something interesting going on, and the pace wasn’t too fast or too slow for a 12-episode show. I have not read the source LN, so I can’t compare. The story does seem to lack a sense of direction, as some episodes are lackluster and don’t build into the overall story but instead explore side stories. I think the show would have been more enjoyable if there was an actual goal the characters were aiming for instead of just a slice-of-life fantasy with a band of adventurers. Animation and Music, 4/10 Nothing to write home about, mediocre on average, ok at best, and looks like budget cuts at some points, like at Ep 4, 3:30. CGI background NPC characters were not deal breakers, but some of the slide show animation to cut costs was annoying. Overall, not bad in the animation department. Camera work was bad, especially when the characters are just talking. The camera likes to zoom in on their whole face, which just felt awkward when combined with the 2-3 different frames of mouth movement and 2 different frames of blinking. OP "Glorious World" and ED "Never Fear" are catchy and great songs! I love the cute animation that goes along with the ED as well. If you’re still reading this, I recommend giving the ED a watch! Characters 6/10: The characters all had expensive hobbies that seemed like a waste of money, but that’s what makes them more interesting. Instead of putting their lives on the line for honor or to save the world, they do it for the money, and that’s something we don’t see normally in anime. Character development could have been ironed out better; it wasn’t horrible to say. I honestly really enjoy the dynamic characters and their development through the show as they grow as people. I would have scored higher if the show had decided to spend more time on character development, but I like the direction they are already going. I would have liked this show to have had 24 episodes or more seasons. Overall enjoyment: 4/10. Not bad for a show that’s fallen off the radar. I would recommend this show if your looking for a light show that's not serious. This show is like the complimentary bread you get at restaurants, don't expect a full meal out of it.
A group of individuals who have been betrayed by their party, in one way or another, happen to pick up rather expensive habits as a cooping mechanism. To finance said habits they form an adventuring party. That's Ningen Fushin. The adventuring part is redundant. The party roles are basic and almost no attention was given to the "dungeons" they go through. I'd even say they're very much an after thought. The show is actually about the people in it, their lives and how they've reached this point. It's actually a mature show where there is no clear cut good and evil. There are people who buildtheir happiness with their own two hands, and people who build it on the suffering of others. The characters are well rounded and each could easily be the MC which actually happens further in the show. It does take time for them to open up which I appreciated, considering their backstories make it hard for them to trust again. I think the show had great potential but it was let down by a few things:- - The art and animation are horrendous. It's so bad that it borderlines on sabotage! - Sound, I don't usually notice it but here the show really needed something, really anything to make it more alive. Even basic sounds like footsteps, rocks falling, a dog barking, where absent so it felt... dead... Some episodes came off as gags (brawling with math, really?) however because there is no sound or music to play off the jokes it looks like it's serious which doesn't work with the premise. - The "adventuring" part was completely ignored. I don't know if the writing or the show's director is to blame for this but even if the adventuring is not the main focus it's still an adventure / fantasy show. Ignoring that side of it completely is not a good idea. Overall I did like the show, I would recommend it for the more adult approach. It is however a flawed one and sadly was held back by poor production.
Ningen Fushin no Boukensha-tachi ga Sekai wo Sukuu you desu (2023) Like many shows with a long title that tries to have some deep impact, it is fickle. The meaning of their issues lasts only a few episodes then it turns into a slice-of-life adventure show with the added exception that they barely do anything. The show gives elements of great things that could happen that are covered by the mediocre. The art is awful, it is clunky and shapes are all over the place. As soon as a character is in the background their face falls apart. The battle animation is very basic, like wasthere not a single senior animator used? The sound is fun and cheery but that it is. No emphasis is given to anything really. The characters, even the main ones turn out to be unimportant because regardless of the evil they don't really pursue anything since someone more powerful always comes which makes them all sort of pointless. You basically just see people do their hobbies whilst all sucking as adventurers. Oh and their amazing special ability that is still weak as hell but looks 'cool'. Overall, I want my time back, this was not with my time. Perhaps I was harsh with this show but the pain has to stop somewhere. It certainly did for the characters in this after about episode 4.
I believe this is a fun show... if you enjoy Dungeons and Dragons, and/or have a very creative mind. I found that this was a great show, about 4 down on there luck, angery, sad, betrayed individuals that rekindle trust between each other. Of course this isn't a 10/10 masterpiece like FMA, AoT, or JOJO's... but it didn't have to be to be enjoyable. I find that too many people expect too much out of a show now-a-days, not everything can be a 10/10 experience. More so, if you just relax and enjoy content and appreciate its strengths, nothing stops this show from being a 7 or8/10 for me
If you: like fantasy; value authenticity, a laid-back pace with a little slice of life in adventure with a bit of novelty and don't mind low-budget productions; then you might like this anime. For me, I was very happy to watch it. Since I rate series by the merit of their implemention INSIDE of the constraints of their environment, resources and source materials, I happily gave it an 8. This anime from what I infer was made with not much budget and inside that scope, the animations are well made. The style harmonized nicely with the story, personality and characters. New animations are introduced frequently enough and old ones are reusedin a creative way and where it makes sense without getting old. In short, they used what they had wisely, even though it's of course no e.g. Madhouse production. Some moments, admittedly, made me chuckle. The writing was solid, it made sense, introducing a few new ideas without leaning to far out of the window. I saw complaints about how there was a perceived anachronism of modern tech being in what seems a medieval fantasy. However it makes perfect sense in the realm of the story and also brings a fresh wind into the too-well-known cliché of fantasy anime. It's not a groundbreaking epic story of unseen proportions, of course. I would rather call it a wholesome little story with a few new takes. It takes enough risks to make watching it worthwhile and keeps it real at the same time. Overall very good. If you've already seen all the big ones and most of the less big ones in the fantasy genre but want to keep going, this in my opinion is a good watch.
They took one of the most interesting concepts with some of the most charming and endearing characters, and made one of the shittiest shows I've seen out of it. Ningen Fushin ain't absolute dogshit, but it's not anywhere near good either. I loved the idea of 4 people betrayed by their previous parties forming up to make a new party, but then after that idea, they just fight a dungeon with slimes, then a dungeon with a sword that turns into a human, then fight a kidnapper who for some reason they all feel bad for when dies. If this was a traditional "beat the demon king"fantasy anime it would have done so much better. You have all these characters with distinct personalities and interesting backstories, so why not do something with it? I expected to go into this and have it be something similar to Frieren, but it's just a slice of life wrapped in a coat of fantasy.
I decided to login to my account to make a review the animation is bad and its like 4 episodes of going out on adventures the rest of it is some weird thing about an idol having problems with her bf a furry robbing people with his miscreant friends because people were mean to him or something, then some bald dude who calls himself the stepping man steps around killing kids with his stepping powers because he had a hard life. They can also fuse with a sword thats a person who can talk and it looks so dumb the moment i saw that inep 4 i realized its gonna be real bad from here on out.
A weird bad mix of mostly good things. Half of the show is a good run-of-the-mill fantasy, showing potential with a mix of quest-of-the-week filler, save-the-world overarching plot, interesting characters with character-specific intro or origin story episodes and goals of their own (i.e. side quests to earn loyalty points) and so on. Unfortunately, in this season we only get the intros and quest-of-the-week, while the other elements are just hinted at for the future. Bummer. Another 15% of the show is an epic ancient intelligent magical-swords conflict and collection saga with a weird main hook of MC's sword being Yu-Gi-Oh's Polymerization card and giving them hero fusion.It seems like a very promising main-story material and could've been combined quite well with the rest of the show if the focus on it were bigger, but instead is limited to like 2 episodes, feeling disjunct and undeveloped as a result. Then we have the remaining part of the show turning into a weird idol otaku show or IDK what, wasting time with nonsensical inspirational thoughts or philosophical nonsense. Like, seriously WTH. Admittedly, even this aspect might have been good for the right audience, if it were not completely out of place in the middle of a swords and magic fantasy. If there are more seasons, and the ingredients get mixed a little better in them, it might still turn into a pretty good show. But what it showed in this season was a let-down.
Ningen Fushin in key words (Betrayal, Guilt and Trust issues) For me overall Ningen Fushin is okay-ish. Nothing special, just a bunch of people who got betrayed and formed a party. The animation is pretty bad especially the walking animations, the characters are floating on air through out the series. All the sounds that they used were suitable and adjusted to the animation. The outro was the best aspect of the show in my opinion. The main and supporter characters are somewhat memorable. They have unique personalities that make them memorable. The show would probably be better if the characters could've been given more time for theirbackstory, as well as building a foundation for their personality. Conclusion: The budget went all into the outro!
Although the production value is downright criminally awful, the story was definitely very interesting. The show covers some decently heavy and deeper topics, though the execution is lacking. It had a lot of potential, but the production value really holds it back. However it definitely deserves a lot more love then it currently gets. The show is a typical fantasy show that deviates from the norm quite a bit. Rather than follow the story of one single character, it opts to follow the party's stories, which gives the story a lot more life. Showing the stories of many different characters, although side characters, gives thesense that the story takes place in a "world", as opposed to a "setting". Almost every character that is relevant is fleshed out nicely, and with better production value I think this could definitely be really good. Although I think it definitely doesn't deserve an 8/10, I believe a 6/10 is much too low when you have worse stuff higher than this. Story: 9/10 Characters: 9/10 Plot: 7/10 Visuals: 6/10 Audio: 6/10 Fantasy Trope: Yes Harem Trope: No Isekai Trope: No Betrayal Trope: Yes
This anime started out with a funny concept. A group of adventures each abandoned that full the holes in their lives with random vices. Unfortunately after the first episode, this series falls flat. The characters are boring, don't really develop and have no real motives. In the first episode they all start by being jaded from being betrayed, yet by the end of the episode they all seem to warm up to each other. The characters really needed more time to become closer. Development just appears out of nowhere, without being fledged in the story. Each character's backstory is interesting at first, butnone are delivered in a way to make you care. The dialogue has awkward pauses and is overall boring. I have unfortunately still seen worse shows, so I can't grade this too harshly. You will still gain nothing watching this series. With so many other great shows available with similar concepts (i.e. fantasy world where MC is banished from party), definitely skip this one. TL;DR - This is one of the most boring anime out. It's poorly written, and offensively mediocre.
Ningen Fushin is a pretty boring anime. This is the best way to describe it. I can't believe I finished it. Frankly if my Genshin Impact update wasn't taking so long, I would have probably delayed watching this for another few months. Honestly, the last 3 or 4 episodes weren't all that bad. At least something was happening that had some substance to it. It's just not enough as a whole. A lot of half assed episodes with little to no importance to the characters growth. This is supposed to be an anime about characters who havelost faith in humanity, so you would think that these 12 episodes would be heavy in the character development department. It just barely scratched the surface of Nick, and I felt Zem had the most developed character of the bunch. Curran and Tiana's development is very shallow. As for Agate, I don't know what this character is supposed to be. This series is not focused, and hard to watch, and I am pleased to get it off my computer. Animation 6/10 - The quality in the first 2 episodes is different from the rest. It is good animation when they put forth the effort, but you can clearly see a quality drop from episode 2 onward. Muddy looking backgrounds, simple character animations beyond episode 2. Sound 6/10 - OP/ED are fine, but there is too much yapping with little substance. Story 2/10 - Slice of life, with a mini arc at the end. The last arc tries at least, but the rest is just depressingly scarce in plot. Characters 5/10 - I don't hate nor like the main cast, but their personalities aren't engaging, and their development is missing. Enjoyment 5/10 - Was bored for most of the series, with exception to the final episodes, which I had no problem getting through. I've seen worse, but generally I would encourage people to avoid this series.
Action scenes where really basic. The best part of the animation was laughing at it. Very sloppy a lot of the time, average the rest. Characters had semi-interesting backstories, but the characters themselves weren't interesting. The point of view had potential to create an interesting dynamic, but it didn't ever end up happening. Pacing was awful, started fine, ended alright, but the episodes in between crawled by. Voice acting was average. Soundtrack was surprisingly good. I liked the ed and the general soundtrack was well done. Intro was average. Overall just not a good show, low effort. Drawing people walking is just so hard. 4.45/10
