Right as he is about to earn a promotion, a salaryman meets an untimely demise. Taking pity, a mysterious being grants him a second life in the land of Galdardia as a teenager. Choosing the name Luciel for himself and a role as a healer, the young man sets off for the nearby town of Merratoni. There, he learns that healers are a coveted resource, yet they often take advantage of others for monetary gain. Vowing to be different from other healers, he joins the local branch of the Healers' Guild and begins unlocking his magical potential. After failing to save someone with his magic, Luciel is determined to get stronger. To improve his physical strength and hone his magic skills, he registers as an adventurer and takes rigorous training under Brod, the chief instructor of the Adventurers' Guild.

Great Cleric is a tough one to rate because I did want to like it. I like the art style, the character designs and the concept of an MC who is not OP from the start, but has to grind and train constantly to improve was appealing. Sadly, for me at least, the show took 8 weeks to get good and for most people it’s just not an investment they can make. Had this show come out the gate with the energy we saw in the final 4-5 episodes, this could have been a really good show. I tend to believe the problems with GreatCleric were adaptation based since the Amazon reviews for the light novel are glowing. But, my God was this show dragged out. I’m all for training arcs and having an MC go through trials and tribulations to get stronger, but it gets to a point where it’s too much. In an anime where you only have 12 episodes to get people into a story, there’s only so much of the same repetitive stuff people can take. The training arc in this one could have been cut by several episodes and Luciel leaving the starter town to get the story going should have been done sooner. Once that does happen, I started enjoying the show a lot more. The whole capital arc is very fun, there’s some cool dungeon crawling, best girl gets introduced and the pacing gets much better at that point in general. It’s just way too much slog you have to go through to get there. As a character, I’m kind of neutral on Luciel. He’s somewhat of a lovable idiot. Has some good moments where he makes you laugh and you root for him and then some where you just want to slap yourself in the face. He’s probably more developed in the books, but I wasn’t in love with the guy based on this anime. As I said before, I do like that he has to actually work for everything he’s got. He starts off purely able to heal before learning other combat skills and the show, for better or worse, takes its sweet time showing you how he acquires each and every one of those abilities. The side characters are pretty meh until blonde waifu gets introduced. At that point my interest was piqued. Sadly, again going back to the pacing, it took a long time for her to really become a part of the story. There’s a few others who get introduced at the end that are solid too. Art is really solid in the anime. I’m a big fan of the bright colour palette, I like the designs as well. Animation is your generic powerpoint style, but it gets the job done. The production on the show is serviceable. Really my main issue here just comes from the pacing. That alone just makes it hard for me to recommend this to people. I’d say give episode 1 a try and see how you vibe with it. That same pacing is going to stick around for like 4-5 episodes so if that’s something you can handle, go for it. Personally, I think I’ll give the Light Novels a chance at some point just to see how things were handled there. The world is interesting enough for me to want more of it, just not necessarily in anime form. Great cleric gets 6 out of 10.
I'd recommend this anime. It was light hearted and had some funny moments. I like the story and the pace for the most part. I would say it was a good story and wrapped up nicely. I look forward to a season two. I'm not sure why its rated lower then a 7. I think it is a standard isekai but is a different take on it and was pleasant to watch. I think the Art was good and the concept was entertaining. I think if you think the isekai genre is played out then maybe this isn't worth your time but I thinkit was a solid anime that was over run with fan service like some.
MC is reincarnated as a healer in a world where healers seem to exploit others for their services. Just think of it as American health care meme, but in a middle ages fantasy setting. We all know how this goes. MC is "nice" and doesn't want to let people die as a healer etc.. But what really surprised me was the story and pacing. Positives 1. Actually hard working MC: Isekai garbage usually either grant OP cheat powers or just show a montage of hard working MC in the first few episodes before making him OP. But this is the first series where he actually IS weak.He starts at low level and has to grind very very slowly to grow stronger. He tries to do everything he can to get stronger. The slow pacing even makes you appreciate how hard the MC is working. And that no matter how much you romanticize it, real hard work is still a long journey of boring repetitive practice. 2. Pacing: Unlike the usual isekai where we are just ticking off a checklist of tropes, this show actually bothers to setup the characters and the world. We see the MC training, going to eat after training, trying to sleep and everything. It was oddly relaxing to watch the show and it also managed to get me invested in the show. Although it may feel boring at times, i appreciated the slowness by the end of the series. Definitely not for everyone, but for those who just want a rapid pace, there's plenty of isekai already. 3. MC got a brain: Instead of just becoming a healer, he trains at an adventure guild for a while to learn how to protect himself (atleast run from monsters). He knows he can't save everyone, won't become OP overnight and must get better to help others. He also is one of the few MCs who feels like an adult in a workplace. 4. A few hilarious moments: MC's VA did a great job when delivering comedy dialogues. Actually made me laugh out loud. It ain't god tier comedy, but it is definitely there. It made even the serious moments feel lighter and just made the overall vibe relaxing. Negatives 1. pacing is kinda slow. I wish they would edit out some repetitive content to add more lore or other stuff from the novels. 2. everything else is still super generic in terms of world/characters. Atleast in this season, there's not enough lore/hooks to distinguish this series from other isekai. But the final episode did get interesting. It felt like "this is where the real story starts". I guess it was a good way to hook viewers and make them buy novels. Most people should probably skip this. That is why i will put this as Not recommended. This is like a slow Slice of Life, where you grow along with a hardworking and sincere/realistic MC. Watch the first couple episodes and judge it for yourself. Due to the slow pacing, you won't see anything genre defining, but you will atleast get its "vibe". But those who crave a slow isekai that still has combat/plot, i would absolutely recommend this. I loved it and will probably be jumping to novels.
*Definitely* not for everyone. It starts off all weird and janky, but if you're patient enough and stick with it, it's a bit rewarding. The latter half of the season makes you want a second season. What hooked me was because the anime tackled the idea of regulation and ethics in the field of healing. Not much animes on that front. The only other anime I can think of that deals with that issue is Isekai Yakkyoku, though there's probably more than just that. Art: 6/10 It was janky in the first half but it looks like they pulled themselves together because it kinda got better in thelatter half, plus they started to use some 3D somewhere near the end. Story: 6/10 First half was really weird and iffy, writing-wise. It just wasn't clicking at all with me, but I am really glad I didn't drop it after the first episode. The latter half made more and more sense as the episodes went by and the jokes finally landed, at least for me. I still think it's not for everyone but overall, I'd love for this anime to have a season 2.
A show about a paranoid virgin wageslave who dies and gets transported into another world with a strong desire not to die. Whereas many shows have protagonists vs antagonists, this is more of him vs himself in many ways. It's very small scale, at first, and laid back while you see the MC struggle and grow a little bit. The animation is nothing special but the manga isn't exactly a masterpiece either. It embraces a kind of charming minimalism that struck the right chord with me. It's definitely a refreshing flavor of isekai trash that exists for indulging in your guilty pleasure. The world-building andhyper focus on the MC makes it far more enjoyable than other genre slop. The biggest complaints seem to be that it's too slow or lacks some kind of tangible antagonistic element, but I think that works to its benefit. I would be surprised if someone wasn't charmed by the 12th episode.
Interesting premise that promises a unique isekai story. Ends up being typical and honestly- quite boring. I say this as an isekai fanatic; I love isekai, but the one thing I cannot stand is when the plot is the MC training continously with no development. The first 4 episode is the MC literally training and trying to level up while the plot moves an inch. Then he moves to another city, and now he has to clear a dungeon, and of course he does (with more training and small improvements). It's literally like watching someone play a video game. I'm here to watch an anime, notwatch someone play a game. It's funny cause the anime tries to reference itself that it is indeed not a video game, but that 4th wall breaking did nothing but made me scoff even more. The training arc(s) makes no sense either. MC repeatedly gets his butt kicked, yet he is the only one in the world who has cleared the dungeon, which holds some of the strongest monsters. Yet he can't even beat a simple starting adventurer. Talk about inconsistency. Is there anything good about this anime? There is actually- the goddamn story that the anime should've been concentrating on instead of watching the wimpy ass hero cry and train all the time. The story itself is actually super interesting. Healers have become corrput and are charging crazy amount of money for their services- in some instances if payment isn't ment then the patients become slaves. There's hints herre and there about the world which it works. Those parts are good. Then the anime goes right back to the MC like...doing boring stuff. If the anime had actually concentrated on the premise like the show described, I guarantee many fans would love it more. I mean, seriously that is an awesome story line. But instead every episode we get 15 minutes of the MC getting his butt kicked during training, then not learning absolutley nothing- then repeat again next episode, aaanddd continue the cycle until the finale. Speaking of MC, how is he? I started off liking him. He is a total wimp. But I'm okay with that. I like alot of wimpy MC's. Deku from MHA is awesome. I loved Kaneki in Tokyo Ghoul (seaosn 1 at least). But Luciel? He's wimpy, a cry baby, and well- that's pretty much his entire character. His motivation is all over the place. Money, girls, a place to live? Who knows. Sometimes it's everything. Sometimes it's nothing. The thing about wimps is that there needs to be a pay off. Like, there needs to be growth. There is no growth with Luciel. So to sum up- Luciel isn't bad- he's just super duper boring. How are the side characters? Forgetable. Not a single one stands out. They're all cardboard cut outs of every single side anime characters you've encountered before. The interactions are as basic as they come. That said- that's the least of this show's problem. The side characters do a solid job over all, even if I don't remember a single of their names. It's the lack of story that really brings down this show. So should you watch this anime? I would say pass. I wanted to quit by episode 4 or 5, but at that point I had already invested too much time, so I had to see it through to see if there was any pay off in the end. And the answer is no.
An isekai in the adventure-comedy genre, where a murdered sales manager reincarnates as a healer and goes all out to grow and develop. This anime does pretty much everything right. Tons of humor, constant physical and emotional growth for the hero, nonstop dynamic plot progression, well-justified relationships, character evaluations, a few surprises toward the end, and even top-tier animation (great movement and variety), stunning visuals, and an amazing soundtrack. I enjoyed every second of it. The plot twists make sense within the world’s framework, the hero’s place in it, and his personality. Honestly, there’s not much to nitpick here, except maybe the lack of intense drama—but that’sfair for a comedy. Just a heads-up: this isn’t laugh-out-loud ridiculous like KonoSuba. While there’s a lot of humor, it’s not the anime’s main focus. There’s absolutely no fanservice here, which is a blessing—and honestly, it wouldn’t fit the tone or the story anyway. The first episodes are brilliant and hook you immediately. For a shounen, the story feels almost too mature, but still not entirely there. On top of that, there’s a decent chunk of philosophical reflection—touching on class inequality from innate abilities, racial discrimination, personal limitations, friendship, love, and the importance of praise. It might seem minor, especially since it’s explored subtly and often through comedy, but it’s there, and it’s meaningful. Another piece of great news: the light novel is complete (10 volumes). The first season covers about three of them. Unfortunately, the second season hasn’t been announced yet. While the final arc wraps up nicely, there’s still a lot of potential for more adventures, and I’d love to see what’s next.
This is the ultimate Isekai anime. No quests, no real villain, no rival...just pure, unadulterated level/skill grinding. An entire arc devoted to nothing but spamming spells and attacks to level them up, then eating and sleeping and regenning mana. Another arc devoted to nothing but grinding mobs and selling loot to buy new skills so he can grind mobs better. And that's it. Literally. That's it. 12 episodes of resurrected in an RPG grinding. I've never seen an Isekai of such incredible purity. I don't even mind that the animators accidentally deleted the upper lips of every femalecharacter in the show.
How to summarize the show? I'd say silly, fun, innocent, light-hearted, a good albeit slow rolling story, interesting world-building, with fantastic use of amusing summary conversations between characters. I get how a lot of people want more action and more stuff to happen in episodes, but it's all relevant. The MC builds relationships, struggles internally, works hard, and desires to be a good person who can take care of himself. In a lot of shows, many of these things are glossed over or left to a montage. In this show, we see these smaller day to day struggles and efforts that the MC puts intohis development. The montages are used sparingly and actually are saved for the moment when you worry that 4 minutes of an episode is going to be spent summarizing an event to another character. In a pleasant twist and thematic to the light-heartedness of the show, these moments have the fast forward high pitched voice and they only use a few seconds and then continue the story. In some anime this might be an issue but because of it's slower pace, this works wonderfully and I really appreciated this. Honestly, there's nothing mind-blowing about this show but somehow it holds its own to me and I found it very enjoyable. In fact, I've re-watched each episode at least 2 or 3 times because it's been chill and fun to kick back to. Maybe it's because that it hits that cozy home cooked meal vibe to me that I like it so much, but I really liked this show. Don't go in expecting cutting edge animation, cinematography, music, or any of that. I'm no connoisseur but the choices in these categories that the show made work for it.
This was surprisingly good after finishing the first season. It’s a basic Isekai where the main Protagonist gets reincarnated into a magical world. He picks being a healer in a world where greed and corruption make things difficult for him at the start but his wholesome personality shines and he shows how things can truly change for views on healers throughout the series. He isn’t over-powered at the start but works hard and gets to a point where that hard work pays off in ways no one would have expected. I don’t want to spoil anything so my review should be vague enough to hopefullynot give anything away but will entice readers to give it a watch.
Ironically good as a story that is not edgy, over the top, not about overpowered characters and not ecchi. I know I know, a shocker. Despite the "status, skills" things and the premise of Isekai it feels more like a typical fantasy which is actually a good thing. MC doesn't get anything special going on for him and doesn't have any superpowers at any moment of the story and basically is just stubborn which helps him in the long run to overcome his lack of ability. In this regard it's a good slow burn story to follow along that culminates by the end of the season. Ifyou think about it, somewhat resembles Faraway Paladin that most people didn't like while it was an enjoyable show to watch. Production shows the lack of budget, but they didn't use any ugly ass CG so the quality doesn't jump around like turtle from shield hero or I'm a spider. Story starts off relatively slow by focusing on MC trying to get actually useful at anything until he gets involved in some of the underlying world issues. Nothing that hasn't been done before, but it has adequate progression. Some of the gags might get repetitive, like the whole joke with Substance x. I would watch S2 if it ever appears.
I was honestly so surprised that I enjoyed this as much as I did and I feel compelled to write a little recommendation for those who might give it a chance and find the same level of enjoyment, and also to make it clear who this WON'T appeal to so people don't waste their time. Right off the bat, I should say that this is an extremely amateurish affair on almost every level. The writing is linear, straightforward, surface-level, simplistic, and unambitious. It doesn't have any deep themes (honestly to say it even has any themes is debatable), the writer can't reallyjuggle multiple concurrent plot threads, there will only ever be one thing going on at a time, stopping arbitrarily to pick back up a different thread every so often, but never in any intertwined, multi-layered story. The pacing is stop and go, wildly accelerating or skipping through swaths of time only to slam the brakes and progress in real time before skipping forward again. The characters are entirely one-dimensional, the relationships are shallow, honestly there's barely any difference to the recurring side characters and a nameless rando that gets one line in terms of depth. As far as the world-building, you are told a little, shown even less, and don't really get any feel for the setting beside what you explicitly are shown. The systems, the places, the people, the dynamics of the whole world are loose, undefined, and only fleshed out as relevant to the protagonist's journey. The animation is minimal and basic, backgrounds are simple and undetailed, the most that can be said about the music, even the OP and ED, is that there is music. The voice acting sounds like they scraped up all the aspiring new hires from some agency and put them to work on their first professional gig. So in what universe can I say all this and still want to recommend it? Well, in spite of everything, this show has a charm to it that with the right attitude makes all the ways in which it's quite simply not good more digestible. It's earnest, it's lighthearted but not entirely without serious moments, and its mostly the ways in which it will surprise you with hints of aspiration that may endear it to you. It comes off like the writing of a guy who just wants to entertain people with his simple rpgmaker game story, and against all odds managed to get it picked up by a studio to make his dream a reality, and even though that production is underwhelming, there's still hints of someone caring more than they had to. There are random humor moments that actual catch you off guard, both in the writing and how much effort the show put into delivering them (not that these are by any means high effort, but the bar is so low that they could have gotten away with ANYTHING and chose to do even anything more is commendable.) The story despite being so amateurish flows, it makes sense, and eventually becomes slightly compelling as you come to know the characters. Despite the world being so loosely cobbled together, the fact that I actually wanted to see more of it speaks to *something.* This show is something that has "good" shyly hanging onto my tongue, anxious to leave my lips. But I can say that it is a comfy, relaxing piece of idle entertainment. I think this is the perfect kind of show to serve as the parsley to a more substantial piece of media. Use it to clean your teeth in between heavier dramas or nut-quaking action movies. It truly does feel like an escapist diversion. If you only want to experience masterpieces or things that even aspire to be them, this show is not where you'll find it and I'll say simply move on. But for those who just want something to watch lying in bed cuddling with a pet or to pick your heart up after watching tearjerkers or simply be stimulation for an idle brain, I think The Great Cleric is an underdog you can get behind.
If you are someone who wants to kill time by watching, I think this anime is worth it. Just don't expect too much that this anime will provide a fantastic plot and an epic story. Even so, I enjoy watching this anime even though the story is predictable and too peaceful there is no major conflict that makes the audience surprised. I like the art style for the story, the main character grinding to get his power does not immediately become overpowered so, you'll often see mc doing his exercises continuously. The atmosphere around the main character has a positive atmosphere.
I love this light novel (it really just gets better and better!) but was a littlest disappointed with the anime adaption as it felt really rushed, especially towards the end. Overall the art and voice acting was very good, and the story itself is summed up nicely. However, this really could have done with an extra episode or two as it completely flew through the final floors of the dungeon and skipped over crucial parts that will become key to the plot as a whole. Pacing let this down for me... That being said I hope they do season two as I'll definitely be watching!
The Great Cleric follows a formerly modern day Japanese salaryman, who is shot by a stray bullet and dies after an important business proposal. He reincarnates into a medieval fantasy world and take on the name Luciel who chooses the path of healing but with a twist. Will he be able to save many lives with his power or will he succumb to fate a second time? Story & Character: 5/10 The story is much different from your typical isekai; In the Great Cleric, Luciel doesn't start off with any ungodly powers or cheat skill and instead has to train diligently for his powers to gradually increase.As a result, the story is more related to his experience while training to become a better healer and fend off attackers without the need for external assistance. However, despite being a very unique plot point it also becomes its major restriction: This series essentially became a training simulator where Luciel focuses solely on grinding out the substance X potions and fighting instructor Brod majority of the time; It's only until much later where we see more meaningful story development after a change of environment. As a result of the very focused training grind, The Great Cleric lacks heavily in character development so much so that I barely remember the characters names apart from the two mostly involved with Luciel: Gulgar and Brod. It feels like the other characters were used to fill in the empty spots on the character list and nothing more considering they were in and out of the series like a seasonal sports starting line-up. I wished they could have gotten into the characters more especially their backgrounds, past experience etc. since that would have had a more meaningful impact on Luciel's growth than healing no-name adventurers every episode. Art & Sound: 5/10 The art and animation were decent by today's standard, nothing too extraordinary. I really enjoyed the shots with absurd facial expressions and the lucky face guy. The awkward expressions livened up the scenes at every turn so it was a welcome addition for its comical effect. Sound was also decent by modern standards. I didn't notice anything that stood out as a negative in terms of voice acting, sound effects or background music. Overall & Enjoyment: 5/10 There was a lot of playful scenes in this series that made it a lot more enjoyable than I expected. The story didn't really get anywhere until the end where Luciel was summoned out of the guild and funnily enough that's where he experienced the most growth contrary to the training he received in the guild training hall. Beyond that, the female characters felt very underdeveloped, they all felt the same to me and didn't have anything interesting to contribute to the series apart from cheap fanservice or background noise. Overall, it was a decent watch but I probably wouldn't stay around for a season 2.
Incredibly low effort anime. Doesn't feel like anyone cared about this show. The animation is really janky looking, no detail, action is fluid, but still very low effort. Characters are kind of amusing, but also kind of annoying. Also not really any depth of any kind there. Mostly the same for the story, no depth and poor world building. Pacing is meh, slow, but at least it moves. Voice acting leaves a lot to be desired, no stand out performances and I find the main character to be grating. Soundtrack is lame, not terrible, but very forgettable. Op is actually pretty good though, but theed is meh. Overall it's boring most of the time with the occasional amusing joke or two. The qulaity is close to the bottom of the barrel. 4.45/10 Dubbed
This anime really brought me a lot of different emotions. At first it seemed like just a generic isekai like all the others, but as I watched it I realized that it was more than that, even though the animation and the characters weren't those things, the story of this anime really captivated me and it was very good to follow this saga until the end. This anime could be much better if done well, but it was still good enough to touch my heart. And it was also a great refreshment from the new rotten anime that have been coming out lately. This anime may notbe a 10, but it is a 10 in my heart and always will be. Esse anime realmente me trouxe várias emoções diferentes. No começo ele parecia só um isekai genérico igual todos os outros, mas conforme eu fui assistindo eu percebi que ele era mais do que isso, apesar da animação e os personagens não serem aquelas coisas, a história desse anime me cativou bastante e foi muito bom acompanhar essa saga até o final. Esse anime poderia ser muito melhor se bem trabalhado, mas mesmo assim foi bom o suficiente para tocar meu coração. E também foi um ótimo refresco desses novos animes podres que tem lançado ultimamente. Esse anime pode não ser um 10, mas ele é um 10 no meu coração e sempre será.
The problem with trying to review Seija Musou is that it elicits very little feeling, in that it's neither especially good nor especially bad. Trying to describe why it's so average is also difficult as the descriptions could apply to a dozen other shows, some of which aired in the same season. By now the premise is so played out it barely needs mentioning; A barely developed cardboard cutcoat human being gets transported into a typical western fantasy RPG setting with guilds, dungeons and a leveling system which serves as a lazy shortcut to let the audience how strong the characters within the setting are. Toit's credit, Lucien, the main character, avoids the usual genre cliche of having an overpowered combat skill that let's him overcome every challenge with little difficulty. He does however fall into the convention of being a faily uninteresting character with little to distinguish him from other characters, other than his apparent masochist attitude towards physical training that the show milks for comedy at every opportunity. The actual plot of the show itself blends in with the rest of the isekai genre as well.The most interesting thing the show does with its world is the contrast between Luciel's selfless attitude towards helping others with healing magic with how other healers in society have formed a cartel to profit off the need by adventurers to access healing magic. Had that been the core of the show, it would've at least helped distinguish Seija Musou from other shows. Instead, most of it is focused on Luciel undergoing physical training in order to actually be able to fight, an arc which takes up a good chunk of the show's runtime and leaves many of the potentially more interesting elements by the wayside. Ultimately this is another forgettable show that does nothing particulary well or particularly bad.
The show was pretty good. The characters were quite wacky and interesting. This was mostly a slice of life about the evil inherent in unregulated capitalist healthcare dressed up as an isekai but was enjoyable. There really wasn't much plot so it didn't have a huge amount of action however the comedy was reasonable and the art style and animation was of standard quality. The MC was a standard isekai character and wasn't unique but the side characters made the show a lot better due to comedic elements. The show was not realistic but then it's an isekai so what were you really expecting. Good for if you'relooking for something relaxing to watch that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
