Fate Graphite lives miserably as a gatekeeper in a world where skills given at birth determine an individual's entire life. Afflicted by the seemingly harmful skill Gluttony, which makes him perpetually hungry, he is abused by the holy knights—the supposed protectors of the populace—who view him as a dreg on society due to his skill. However, Fate's destiny takes a dramatic turn after he kills an escaping injured thief. To his surprise, Gluttony activates, enhancing his stats and granting him new skills.
Following this epiphanic event, Fate receives a job offer from Roxy Hart, the only benevolent holy knight in the city, which he happily accepts. Eager to further explore Gluttony's true potential, he partners with a mysterious talking sword named Greed, who warns him that Gluttony is a taboo skill that breaks the logic of the world. Now forced to live a double life, Fate must slay monsters at night to satisfy his awakened appetite for souls, lest he go berserk and lose all chances at finding happiness.

This is an extremely generic power fantasy that, as others have mentioned, does nothing remarkable. While it does hit all of the cliches, the show stands to be entertaining if you are seeking a mindless show where an overpowered MC does overpowered MC things. Since this is my favorite genre, I thoroughly enjoyed the show since it has everything I want in a fantasy show. If something more complex and beautiful is sought, then this is certainly not the show. But like all shows of this genre, it has a specific audience that will love it. This is not to be watched for groundbreaking animationor storytelling, but generic action and magic that is done entertainingly.

Not Berserk. If you’ve ever felt slightly self-conscious about the name your parents gave you at birth, feel comfort in the fact that it will never be as hilariously stupid as “Fate Graphite”, the main protagonist of Berserk (not that one) of Gluttony, an anime 100% less generational manga than it’s promotional title font tries to emulate to trick weebs into watching it, and 100% more *sigh* light novel garbage. Fate is one of those born with a deadly sin. The sin of Gluttony leaves Fate in a constant state of hunger, always eating but never satiated. It's not until one night when his hunger takesover and he eats a man who tries to kill him that he suddenly feels full. After discovering this pleasure and satisfaction he goes out into the world, eating monsters and the corrupt holy knights who oppress the people, absorbing their powers after every meal. Nevertheless, he must live amongst the populous and alongside his childhood friend, Roxy, ever fearful that his hunger might take over and he’ll eat her.
What a cool premise for a story. Shame that I made 70% of it up and it is actually another *sigh* light novel medieval European fantasy anime with a world that operates on RPG video game logic with skills, levels and states none of which matter because the protagonist is always the strongest motherfucker in the room despite always being level 1. Fate may have the skill of Gluttony which leaves him in a state of hunger but he doesn’t satiate it by eating. He just has to kill monsters or the people who bully him. He then takes their states and abilities, some of which are super useful -like telepathy when touching someone- that the show will completely forget about.
The cast is just as vapid as the world-building. Greed the sword and Myne the carrier of the skill of Wrath are pretty much one-note for the entire season. The introduction of Eris the carrier of the skill of Lust could’ve made an interesting villain if the story knew what her motivations are.
His love interest Roxy is the only holy knight who isn’t corrupt, bullies Fate and the peasants in a cartoonishly evil manner and even has romantic feelings for Fate for some reason…
Despite this story possibly being an outlet for the author to get back at his past bullies whilst getting the girl, I will admit something is entertaining about this show that keeps you watching. The tension of Fate's Gluttony going berserk is there in the first couple of episodes, but if you’re looking for a show where consequences matter this won't be for you. It would be more accurate to call the show Mild of Gluttony. Honestly, I should've dropped the show around episode 7.
Berserk of Gluttony is not a good show. Mediocre art and animation, basic and braindead storytelling and characters, and a male power fantasy made to make you feel like you’re beating up your bullies. Whilst it is entertaining if you completely turn your brain off, this is the kind of show for that teenager in the trench coat who goes up to his crush and warns her not to come to school tomorrow.
3/10 Wasted Potential.

This was a good watch for the season. Simple As. While this isn't a game-changer for all future anime to follow, it is a decent action anime with a respectable story. However, this is where the mixed feelings come in; it is a bit disappointing with how much potential this story has, and how little the anime seems to make use of it. This doesn’t make it a bad anime outright; it's just disappointing considering what it could've been with better production or a different approach to pacing. - Continue on for more reasoning - The most disappointing aspect of “Boushoku no Berserk” (shortened to “Berserk” from nowon) is its execution. It seems somewhat lacking in its exploration of the story's possibilities. For instance, the concept of the “gluttony skill” and the diplomacy and politics within the kingdoms are interesting, but never takes the full use out of what it can be for either.
“Berserk” rushes through the story very quickly, making it difficult to care about the side characters due to the fast pacing that glosses over their development. Examples include Myne and Eris, who receive around 20 minutes of characterization across 12 episodes. As a result, Myne and Eris come off as cardboard cutouts rather than fully fleshed-out characters. If the story had expanded on them and provided intriguing backstories, viewers would find them more compelling.
But that doesn't mean the producers can't create good characters—they did a great job with Aaron Barbatos in just two episodes. Without spoiling too much, Aaron's life is devastated by monsters that take over his home and his family. As such, the time dedicated to his backstory gives Aaron superior characterization compared to Myne and Eris, due to the amount of time they focused on him to give him a complete backstory.
I'm sure Myne and Eris are better developed in the light novel that this anime adapts (although I haven't read it, it feels that way). Nevertheless, a character seen for only two episodes has more depth than two characters who are meant to be recurring.
I understand that “Berserk” has a 12-episode constraint, but I believe they could've chosen an earlier stopping point for the season to better showcase each character. The series could have adopted a slow growth arc like “Spice & Wolf” or a multi-arc season like “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” Slowing down the pacing would have allowed for more character development, rather than skipping months of adventuring to get to the action. This results in wasted potential for a well-constructed “zero-to-hero” arc.
The main draw of “Berserk” is Fate and Roxy, they both are moderately well constructed characters, albeit they do not get nearly the same amount of characterization after episode 3. They are generic to some degree in a typical sense, but definitely have a good basis to grow character off of. You can at least understand their grievances and beliefs, even if you do not agree with them. You know why Fate likes Roxy and why he has a dazzling prince on horseback behavior for her. But when all other characters do not live up to their amount of characterization, it drives the story down. Because when these are the most grounded characters, and nothing (besides Aaron Barbatos) even lives up to their development, it makes you look at every character more harshly since they get no time for growth and characterization.
Animation-wise, it is alright. Sometimes it feels like a PowerPoint presentation with panning screens, but other times there is decent animated weapon play that looks good. The character designs are basic but not poorly done, with room for improvement in potential sequels (If this gets one).
Story-wise, the characters are portrayed as the author intended, with the ones that are supposed to be disliked done quite well. The MC has plot armor, but not to a ridiculous extent; they have weaknesses and are not overpowered like One Punch Man. However, the ending is poor, and could've been ended at a better time. Despite the rushed story and weird pacing, it is good overall.
Give it a try at least, because I feel this has the ability to have a good second season that can bring some improvements to make this a better series, examples of this can be “Clannad” to “Clannad After Story” or “Tokyo Ghoul” season 1 to season 2.
7/10. This seems like a messy first season to me, and while a 7/10 might be a bit generous, the show has an unusual charm that is likable.
I hope for a second season that can iron out these issues because it really has some charm and potential.
🗿 Thanks for reading 🗿

A very underrated anime. I don't understand why its rating is so low. Like it doesn't have very complex dialogue or pacing is very fast? Need to see him struggle with every fight? Go watch DB you will find it their. No ecchi stuff or fan service? Men grow up. You can't say animation is bad. Say that after watching demon slayer and jjk s2; yeah its season 1 is great but they totally hit themselves with axe in s2 like I literally dropped it after Gojo past story. Why demon slayer? Men sorry I am not fan of chibi it is really really annoyingto see good character in chibi all the time. I dropped it after s1.
Want to bing watch something with something light to adjust in brain and just enjoy something for the time? You are very welcome to watch this anime.

The anime started fine at first but as it progressed it lost its charm. Moreover it was more there is food in front why not get em without struggle. Also the story doesn’t make any sense. It’s like the story doesn’t exist. I was excited after watching the trailer but it dissipated quickly after watching 5 episodes. I liked the opening and ending song by the way. Overall I won’t recommend someone to watch unless they want waste time. It could’ve been better if the author focused more on story instead of power. After watching the whole it felt like it was written on awhim. I don’t mean hurt the author but I was expecting a lot more. Character designs are the only thing that is good. I would rate character design 9/10.
TheEtherea
It's clear where all the character designs and some ideas in the story are taken from, the list is long, however it still works well enough to have an engaging story that keeps moving forward. It has no harem and no resemblance of it. Both main characters and their interactions are fun enough to follow and overall I didn't feel bored or disappointed by watching it. In fact it's decent enough to check the next season when it comes out. Obviously it's lacking in art and animation quality, feels very budget, but it brought enough entertainment that was expected of a show of this caliber. Has nicecruel moments, doesn't have stupid "gotcha" moments that are tiresome when they happen in many stories, a straightforward and honest in this regard storytelling.
A good example that rehashed ideas can still be executed fairly well.

Best generic anime that i have saw, there's no exceptional thing in this history and the animation is not the best, but is a very enjoyable show. The dark fantasy scenery is very suitable for the feeling of the show, and the relationship betwen Fate and Roxy is funtional romance cliche of a impossible love facing the problems of a hard world. So if you like cliche dark fantasy animes this is for you. Regarding the production, the animation was very static, specialy during the fights, but earn some points with me for not use a bad 3D animation. About the soundtrack, for me is the bestof this anime, both the opening and the ending are amazing, I always watched both during the episode. The background soundtrack wasn't good as the op or the ed but was competent and suits well the anime.
7/10: a good cliche anime that a saw during my dinners.

Berserk of Gluttony is not particularly revolutionary, but it is a very enjoyably dark fantasy watch that motivated me to go out and purchase the LN after just a few episodes and one of my favourite shows of Fall 2023. What do I mean when I say something is not revolutionary, but still very enjoyable? In simple terms, generic≠bad. Berserk of Gluttony has a lot of the usual fantasy tropes that we see in modern light novels and anime, but those tropes exist for a reason. Because they’re entertaining and when done right, make for a great viewing experience. For me, that’s how I felt aboutthis show. Yea, there’s the rags to riches MC underdog story that we’re used to, the shitty nobles who make life for everyone around them miserable, the dark plot going on behind the scenes, etc. But, it just works well enough for me here. There’s enough of an interesting dynamic between the MC and his weapon, as well as the main female lead and the MC, that makes things pleasant.
What specifically interests me so much in this world is the relationship between weapon and user. In a similar vein as tenken from last year, Fay has a unique bond with his sword wherein by exchanging his stats/levels, he’s able to upgrade his weapon and unlock new forms for it. The sword is able to communicate with Fay and they have a really fun dynamic with a ton of banter. Additionally, as a result of using the sword, Fay becomes “hungry” for souls and has to constantly replenish it. It makes for a unique set up since he has to go out and kill people periodically or risk being consumed by his own skill.
Over time, we see that the skill also affects Fay’s personality. Making him more irritable, forceful, direct etc. I really enjoyed seeing him go from a broke homeless loser for lack of a better phrase, to someone with a purpose and the means to protect himself.
Now, like most fantasy LN adaptations, you can definitely tell quite a lot was cut from this. I mean at several points in the story we legitimately skip what seem to be logical next scenes. Particularly between episodes 10 and 11 where the opening of the episode makes you go “wtf did I miss?”. I also have concerns about potential power creep issues which we began to saw towards the end of this show. Fay gets some power ups seemingly out of nowhere that kind of broke my immersion because they don’t seem to be consistent with the pace we’d established. I’ve heard this is an issue in the LN too, so that might just be a critique of the overall writing.
Cast isn’t too big in this one, but the characters that we do have are all pretty great to me. As I touched on before I’m a big fan of Roxy and Fay’s relationship. To me it feels like what people think Kirito and Asuna’s relationship is. Not to mention the similar designs. Roxy doesn’t feel like a pretty girl who just needs saving either, she’s actually a bad ass character in her own right who stands up for her sense of justice. Unlike many anime, I can actually understand why Fay falls for her. She isn’t just gorgeous, but actually gives him ideals to strive towards and inspires him to be a better person, which was cool to see. If you don’t like cookie cutter fantasy romance stories, I think you’ll enjoy this one.
Now, power creep and cuts aside, my biggest critique of the series is the production. The animation is pretty bad in here which is a shame. I think if it had better animation, several fight scenes would’ve been downright epic. Instead, they ended up looking like PowerPoint presentations. Episode 11 has a really cool scene which is arguably the highlight of the story so far, and they did deliver on that one. So maybe they were saving time and staff for the most important stuff? Regardless, it’s noticeable.
All that aside, I still really liked this show. I’m a sucker for edgy dark fantasy stories and berserk of gluttony is definitely one of the most true to form dark fantasy stories out there. It’s not overwhelmingly edgy though. It’s a genuinely interesting world with some cool concepts and mechanics. I’m very much looking forward to reading it, I’ll miss it.
Berserk of Gluttony gets 8, out of 10
AnimeIsAMistake7
Berserk of Gluttony is an anime that deserves to never be spoken of or discussed in any context. It is a complete nothing-burger of a show, that has left me feeling angry at myself for having wasted all this time watching a show that was so mid I can't even pick a specific point of contention to be angry about. Fate Graphite has as much personality as the graphite in a mechanical pencil. Actually, there is more nuance and complexity to a mechanical pencil, as they can come in different sizes or brands which unique uses. Roxy Whateverhernameis is a painfully generic blonde female waifubait.I cannot even muster up enough adjectives to describe her really, because none of the characters have any depth to them beyond just a single word like "nice" or "edgy" ect. Can't forget the necessary 4000 year old loli that existed during those bleak several episodes we would have otherwise been forced to sit through without having a female character to grace us with thigh shots or chest gazes. The antagonists of this show are beyond one dimensional, like there would have to be some sort of dimension below the 1st dimension to describe these goons. A horizontal line has more depth than these guys. Literally evil for no reason other than the fact that they enjoy to kidnap and shoot orphan children, as one does.
Sorry if this counts as a spoiler, but this entire show can be summarized in a sentence. Well, technically it can be described in a single word, and that word is mid. But the plot is basically "guy gets op skill, gets op sword, and defeats every enemy". That is typical for this type of low effort fantasy, but the worst part of this show is that they try to hype it up far more than it ever deserves, acting like christ is weeping for the protagonist who has to bear the weight of so much sin. It thinks it is some sort of edgy masterpiece but never once did anything to convince me that the main character was anything other than a pathetic wimpy simp who cowers in fear at the slightest touch of a woman. If you were to film my live reaction to this show, it would appear as if I have slipped into a coma and died. In fact, I think that would have been preferable than to have spent however many hours subjecting myself to this slop.
This anime has nothing going for it, it has no themes or message worth telling, it has no meaning nor value. There isn't enough substance in any aspect of this anime to discuss. It probably took more effort to write this review than it took to write this show. It isn't even worth hate-watching or making a "so bad its good" list because its just boring.
If you had to quantify how mid this show is, you would quickly find yourself entering the Domain of E
Rating: 1^E-15/10

I chose recommendation but don't really recommend it, this anime is still good enough to watch. Before the release I had a little hope for this anime, even though the score was still at 6, and I felt this anime was not worth watching, but after seeing the main character, I think this is still worth watching. Advantages: The main character starts from a humiliated status and is not wanted by many people, but slowly becomes strong with his sword partner, MC is not naive, doesn't think too much, there is no drama, if there is a problem it is immediately resolved without much unclear pleasantries. The storylinealso focuses on the main story, unlike anime which suddenly changes the story plot in the middle of the episode. The comedy is also good enough to make you laugh, it's not a comedy that makes you bored to watch.
Disadvantages:
There are no characters that can be made Waifu lol. The female characters aren't very cute, and the designs aren't that interesting, but they're still good story-wise.

What could have been a dark badass story about a guy cursed with the sin gluttony, who devours the souls of the wicked to quell his hunger, instead spends alot of its time on some lame cringe-worthy "love story" between two very dull uninteresting characters. In fact there are no interesting characters in this. People are either wayyyy too nice, or the bad guys are @ssholes just because we need a cliche group of characters who are jerks to the MC. Its really forced. I was hoping this would be like The Seven Deadly Sins only good...but nope, its not. They both suck. Plot: The main character FateGraphite is cursed with the useless skill of gluttony. Meaning he is always hungry. However turns out he isn't hungry for food, he is hungry for souls. One night he kills a criminal and absorbs his skills.
But now that Fate's skill of gluttony has been activated it cant stop. He needs to keep slaying foes to keep satisfying his hunger. If not his eyes will turn red and he will eventually go on a frenzy and kill indiscriminately until satisfied.
This is actually a great setup.
But instead the anime focuses on this boring romance with a Holy Knight (Lady Roxy) who's only personality is "i want to spread joy". Its just a boring surface level character like every other character in the anime. There is nothing deep about her, so you dont care.
Fate also happens to find an old talking sword in a bargain bin called "Greed"...wow what a contrived coincidence.
This anime doesn't do anything great. Fights are dull. The romance is dull. Characters are dull. Its not deep. Its not funny.
The second half of the season does get better. This is mainly because the two characters are off doing their own things and are separated for a while.
So if you can suffer through the first half you will be rewarded with something a bit better later on.
But not enough to save the anime.

I think this is an alright show. However, there are some things that I dislike about this show. The setting is great, with the whole "Stat System" stuff since I do like isekai/fantasy anime and manga that have it. I just think that Fate as a character is kind of unlikeable. Funny to say that I like Greed(his sword) more as a character since the banter and chats he has with Fate are what kept me going for the story. Coming back to Fate, the person who wrote this story really could've done better with him. Fate just feels too edgy and that doesn't seemto keep me involved with him as a character. I usually dislike characters like that, but there are times where it works. Still, I liked Roxy and her benevolent attitude. She's definitely what people call "Waifu material". The combat scenes for this show were good. It's no Jujutsu Kaisen or Demon Slayer but it isn't too bad. If you're looking for a decent action fantasy anime, this isn't too bad of a watch. I only wish it was more to my taste but it might be for others.

I would definitely recommend this if you are into op characters who starts as a weak but has a hidden power locked inside of him. Here we get to see some romance without having harem. Mc only likes one girl here. Only thing I don't like is there is no season 2. Here the story revolves around a boy who received a sin as a power which comes with huge advantage and also has big drawback. Mc doesn't know how to you his powers first and nobody has knowledge what his skill does other than giving him more hunger. So he has to work hard justto fill his stomach.
Story is somewhat predictable I guess but it definitely has its unique story which makes it a lot more enjoyable. Animation is good. There i lots action and adventure involved. FMC is very kind and strong here. She liked mc from the beginning even when he was weak. She been kind to him when all where strangers to him. Mc is smart and becomes somewhat cold as the story goes on.
I think you will definitely enjoy this if you have interest in such type of story.

Berserk of Gluttony tries incredibly hard to be cool. This is supposed to be your edgy power fantasy that lets you see your worst enemies suffer hell ten times over. And what do you get? Hell, ten times over. Fate, the main character, is able to communicate with his sword by exchanging thoughts with it. The author thought it would be a silly little joke to write a scene where Fate accidentally replies by speaking out loud instead of using telepathy. Wouldn't that be funny and embarrassing with other people around wondering why he is talking to a sword? No. This joke however is part ofthe Berserk of Gluttony routine. You get this joke regularly and it baffles me. Repeating the exact same gag, with no twists or changes, again and again is nothing short of insanity.
The main issue however is that the series tries to sell itself as an action packed epic adventure, yet you don't get to see any of it. Some of the monsters that Fate has to battle don't receive more than. One. Singular. Frame. Afterward, they disappear in a large cloud of smoke or some mediocre animated explosion. At this point, you could just show the manga panels and play music. This show calls itself an Anime, but you are a fool if you think it contains animation. I have seen my fair share of low quality Anime, but this one takes the cake and then some. Nothing but pain. The episodes felt like dentist appointments. I never want to hear from this show again.

Boushoku no berserk begins with the intention of telling the story of a boy named Fate Graphite, which is actually seen in the initial episodes. The paladin, since his origin, has suffered mistreatment, mainly by those called Imperial Knights, which I will explain more about shortly, but a girl whose name is Roxy, is extremely kind to him, as well as docile, for thinking of several opportunities to take justice to the world even though she was born into a privileged family and became an imperial knight. The anime begins by exposing and narrating the events of the past that occurred with our protagonist, asthe information unfolds, the viewer concludes that Fate did not hold any power relevant to society, and is therefore just an ordinary citizen without great achievements.
To better explain the context, it is extremely important to know how this world works. Starting from the basic premise, in this plot people are born with magical abilities, but as already explained above the main character was not born with any type of power, for this reason he is mistreated and despised by the imperial knights (those whose main function is to protect the population from any threat, however many of them use their position to intimidate anyone who opposes the abuse of power practiced by the corrupt part of the imperial knights.
Another relevant factor is the issue of the Seven Deadly Sins, which is a type of force considered cursed and feared by citizens, as the misuse of the capabilities of tools imbued with evil power has the possibility of affecting the world, due to its power in large scale and the harm that plague holders live with.
What was the reason for this explanation based on explaining everything about the Seven Deadly Sins? The reason is quite simple, the protagonist who has always been disrespected and humiliated for not having any characteristic worthy of recognition gains favor with the sword of Gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins.
Unveiling his vast power, Fate seeks revenge against those who oppressed him and confronted him with the indiscriminate use of violence, but he also seeks to provide security for Roxy and other individuals for whom he has a certain sympathy and affection.
Analyzing the anime, I realize that the protagonist, despite being strong, does not present noble and equitable causes, continuing to be generic, both in appearance and in his empty and innocent ideals, I say this, for the simple fact that he only keeps searching From fighting evil to protecting Roxy and the people he cares about, he forgets all other factors, he simply doesn't care about bigger problems in the world to be solved, like Vlericks' abuse of power.
In terms of fights, the program does not have a high level of consistency in fluidity, movement and choreography and dissipation of powers in most of the screen, however it is not an aberration either, as the A.C.G.T. studio. maintained the tendency to invest more in the fights that are truly essential to the plot.
The design of the large mass of characters is very generic and without a distinguishing feature or striking point that differentiates it from so many other animes full of clichés (a clear generic design is that of the protagonist.)
In development, it failed to show the relevance of Eris and Myne, given the little screen time given to them during boushoku, however Roxy becomes more mature, even if only minimally to protect the powerless protagonist in terms of responsibility and commitment. with his attitudes of using Gluttony irresponsibly until he is on the verge of death, Fate goes against the grain, as he does not have a heroic or glorification-worthy cause to achieve his ambitions.
The opening and closing music, as well as the sounds in battle and the environment are normal, nothing exceptional or mediocre, it is simply acceptable and tolerable, as it does not compromise your experience when watching the show in any way.
My enjoyment of this anime was average, with a score of around 5.
In conclusion, boushoku no berserk is an anime with defects, imperfections, flaws and deficient in telling the story, especially that of Eris and Myne, the fights are nothing spectacular, but this animation also has its merits in building an interesting world, bringing to light a simple but understandable power system, develop reasonable fights, which may not seem like much, however other animes stand out negatively due to the constancy of the animation this season, unlike this one and their main success was certainly creating a heroine as interesting and protective as to Roxy, that is, by balance of measurements it is a work that divides opinions, with strong positive and negative points, so in my view this work has good and bad factors mixed together, leaving me with a mixed view of this program
ForgiveMeSilvia
I've seen many others label this as a power fantasy, and of course with a premise that has been given it will be some sort of power fantasy. The issue, however, is that it follows the same negatives with many other animes containing the same MC archetype. The story started out quite well, the characters were given some depth to them and the story/environment was unfolding smoothly. However, it quickly devolves into this power fantasy that is actually annoying. Most power fantasies, I would say, would want to hit the note on focusing on relationships and what the MC isn't able to do (besides fighting orstrategizing). Yet, the characters lose their depth and the MC becomes more unlikeable. He's dense, hesitates a lot, has the predictable self-doubt, etc ..
Although a power fantasy by technicality, I don't deem the MC to be worthy of such an archetype. They are seemingly consistently struggling, only prevailing by a side character or his weapon. Worse, he's still quite the push around and not usually confident. Of course, most of this is due to comedic dialogue, yet it ruins the depth of the character and falls in line with the many other MCs of the same genre; a powerful individual yet still gets pushed around or outsmarted due to an ABUNDANCE of hesitance.
An unfortunate unraveling to an anime with a great premise.

Berserk Of Gluttony is a extremely generic power fantasy that we've seen a thousand times by now, but it's still engaging and fairly entertaining despite that. Let's start with a brief summary of the plot, Fate Graphite (yes, that's his actual name) gets basically bullied by a lot of the holy knights because he's weak or something. But one day Fate finds a sword named Greed that helps awaken his Gluttony ability, which makes him more powerful the more he kills, However, if he doesn't fulfill his duties and fails to kill anything, than he will go berserk and something bad would happen ig (I don'tknow, he never actually went berserk)
This show is like an amalgamation of a bunch of others shows. We got a talking sword, his power is Gluttony, he's very powerful even at lvl 1, he's a black haired MC who wears a dark cloak, he has a blonde haired female knight who likes and protects him, and we learn that the weapons they have represent the seven deadly sins. It's like they're taking the piss at everyone who's tired of these power fantasy shows, Which I honestly respect.
Berserk Of Gluttony is one of the shows that also feels like a drag to get through the longer you watch it, it was fun for the first few episodes, but then it gets kind of boring. Which one of the worst things a show can do is not be bad, not be good, but be boring. Fate himself is a very generic MC, except he actually kills the people who wronged him which is fun. Roxy is also fairly generic being the nice swordswoman character. Basically, everything about this show is pretty generic and even feels AI generated at times.
All in all, I myself had a decent time watching this show, sure the interactions were boring, however when they actually get into fight scenes it starts to get fun again. The art is pretty good, but the animation itself is meh. I recommend this to people who enjoy trashy power fantasies, but not so much to people who like the more mainstream, serious shows.

This review will answer if you should or should not watch Boushoku no Berserk right now. Boushoku no Berserk is a plain and generic anime that brings nothing new to the formula. It's a typical Isekai without being an Isekai (Character is not from another world). Our protagonist starts off weak, gains a skill, becomes overpowered, kills monsters, steals their skills, rinse and repeat, lack of character development and the animation falls off in the second half of the show. I would NOT watch this anime unless you have already seen all of: Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Reincarnatedas a Sword
Black Summoner
Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs
The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated
Seirei Gensouki
I'm a spider so what?
The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World
All of the above listed anime have a similar formula and are superior in every way due to their execution, world building and character development. I'm not saying they are all ground breaking, just that you should definitely consider watching those first. I have not listed anime such as Mushoku Tensei, Eminence in the Shadow etc. because if you are even considering watching Boushoku no Berserk you must have seen the best and most popular shows of this formula.
If you have seen everything out there and need to kill an afternoon Boushoku no Berserk is watchable unlike other similar shows out there.

I sound like a broken record at this point, but counting on these ratings to do any justice to any anime at all is a mistake everybody should learn from . This one especially . But what can you expect when generic power of friendship shounen are this well recieved in here. Now enough about things that don't matter. This is a solid watch . From the world building to the story. It's not anything that's gonna have you thinking real hard about it,although there is some slight mistery and subverting of expectations . And i have no clue what people are on calling this generic.This anime follows barely any overused tropes. A very good example is how nobody randomly falls in love with the MC or something like that . The really evil guys actually get what's coming to them, the MC isn't some idealist playing hero for the most part. I'd say it strays plenty from generic stuff .
With all that being said, the animation is obviously pretty low budget,and it drags the whole thing down in a real bad way. And it's a real shame really. Since the story is quite good. If it had at least a half-decent animation , i would've easily given it a 10.
It's an allright watch. Really hope for a second season and all. But only if they get a better budget and all.
