Rud is a tank of the Hero's Party and is said to have the highest defense ever in history. The party often does labyrinth raids, but to Rud, it means more than just a raid. To cure his beloved sister's illness, he is in search for the wish-granting treasure that might be hidden in those labyrinths. But one day, the arrogant hero kicks him from the party after an unsuccessful raid attempt, blaming it on his skills whose effects he is still unaware of. With nowhere else to go and nothing to do, he decides to return to his hometown, where his sister is waiting. On his way there, he saves a girl who was being attacked by a monster. Unexpectedly, this girl has an extremely rare skill called "Appraisal." Thanks to her skill, Rud is able to discover the truth behind his unknown skills, which turn out to be very powerful skills. With a defense of 9999 and powerful skills, thus begins the adventure of the strongest tank, Rud! (Source: Square Enix)

The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids - The stereotypical below-average generic fantasy with an objective, but not with a purpose. For every good fantasy work, be it underrated or overrated, there're more than 10 times as much average works as uninspiring authors can chunk it out of the oversaturated genre. And one such work is novelist Ryuuta Kijima's Saikyou Tank no Meikyuu Kouryaku: Tairyoku 9999 no Rare Skill-mochi Tank, Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareru a.k.a The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids: A Tank with a Rare 9999 Resistance Skill Got Kicked from the Hero's Party, part of the "Shin no Nakama a.k.a Banished from the Hero Party" sub-theme,but worse. The story about a hero party's strongest tank character, this is Rud's way of burning through a smorgasbord of dungeon labyrinth raids, all in the pursuit of finding the cure that would help to alleviate his sister Manicia's illness. But just like Shin no Nakama's Red, he was ousted for his "rather unimpressive" tank abilities, all in the while that Rud himself isn't even aware of what he himself and his big-sized shield is capable of. That would come as a coincidence when he finds a girl of unknown origin escaping from a group of people, which he carried her to safety, only realizing that she has a rare Appraisal skill, proving that Rud indeed has his tank powers unimaginable, but at an insane defense level of 9999 HP along with skills that he learns from this girl: power capable to find that cure for himself as the unknowingly strongest tank ever. And yeah...that entire premise sounds just as tropey as the last Isekai/fantasy show you've just watched, that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. To be fair, a lot of authors like Ryuuta Kijima who just want to profit from the "Japanese don't care if Isekai/fantasy is good or shit", they're free to do so on their own regard. But a workaround like this sure only laments the fact that these "up and coming" authors who think they have the capability to write a "decent" fantasy, it's not helping the people who has to take that job and say, turn it into an anime. Heck, giving this assignment to a new and unproven animation studio just shows the lack of attention that the Japanese will never learn from their mistakes. Back to Saikyou Tank then, the one constant problem that stems from these generic and tropey works is the plot. The summary: it’s all so generic — there’s your typical cliches and half-assed reasonings for the plot to progress, but it’s all not delved into, making the story shallow. Remember that I mentioned that the show "had an objective, but not a purpose"? The show is supposed to fixate on Rud getting his dear sister (which he has a siscon fetish to) with the rare medicine that treats her, barring her from death, but they treat it like "Ah, my sister has a disease that she will die if not being treated, but even if I have the treasure, we need to think of what to do next and keep the plot alive". Like hello, people's lives, loved ones especially, are not things you can toy and be not serious about. Plus, it's your own sister...who is nonchalant about her own peril and wants to keep being clinically troubled yet alive for the sake of her wellbeing. This is just terrible writing, not just on the objective part, but of the purpose as well. Even worse, as a show that focuses on the development and introspection of characters, they need to be fundamentally sound. Too bad like the horrible writing that this source material gets, all of them are pitifully generic and uninteresting — there are some “emotional” chapters within the story, but it was forced before any interest formed in the first place. Let's take the girl that Rud found in the first place: Luna, the white-haired escapee/refugee with a gem encrusted on her chest, she's a breed of illegal homunculi created for slave labour, not to mention of her "training" to be a combat slave. Rud taking her in is natural progression, but when he faces more of the Hero's Party (i.e. healer Nin and twin swordswomen Lily and Lilia) and others coming after him which seemingly are all girls in that regard, they all fall victim to the harem genre, being in love with Rud. Outside of that, they don’t have much of a personality besides for the classic waifu traits. Even with the other dungeon guardians which Rud subsequently earns their respect and works with them to improve Avancia, this is about the best that he can do: a spokesperson for the small town. Talk about generic in the most general sense. If the show does not get even more basic enough, look no further than its mediocre production, put forward by a very new Studio Polon, who is the embodiment of additions to "new" studios like Maho Film and Staple Entertainment of falling victim to being chosen to produce fantasy shows that are just plain bad. More people getting into the AniManga industry DOES NOT equal quality, and this show just made a fine example of how the studio's future works will be soldered by its third-rate and substandard quality. You think the show's generic-ness couldn't be that bad yet? Nope, there's worse, and the music here is just simply forgettable. Both of Ireisu's OP and ED songs are just white noise at best, which once again, extends the fact that this show is just nothing memorable at all. The very simple TL;DR I can give you: Shin no Nakama still stands alone as the best representation of the "Banished from the Hero's Party" thematic, while this show does nothing to serve its plot, or heck, even perform the MacGuffin effect correctly. Do not watch this show unless you don't mind watching something that's a perfect representation of a worthless time-waster.
A Decent story, held down by generic adventurers and oversights. A few episodes are well-made, but there are also a lot of episodes that are boring and have obvious oversights. Sometimes watching cable news might be preferable to watching some of the episodes. These more mediocre episodes start at episode 6 and grow to be even more mediocre until episode 8. Of course there are decent scenes in these episodes, but that's it, there really isn't much outside of these fight scenes that drive the viewer to watch this anime. Thus, this causes people to drop it before coming to better managed episodes like episode 9.Episode 9 entirely kept itself interesting throughout most of the episode, only becoming more stale when there are long scenes with lots of chatting. But then it gets even worse, after episode ten in feels like it's drawing the story out just to waste time. It's not fun if a few episodes are mediocre. But, when it gets to be boring, it gets worse than when it's mediocre and full of oversights, it actively makes you not want to watch the next episode. (Small Tangent on this Anime's Oversights): In episode 11 there are people who can raise stone barricades/defenses from the ground to protect their town, doing so they raise the stone barricades within the town's walls.... AND The wall is made out of wood..... do you see what I'm getting at? Why wouldn't they make stone walls to defend the town using these mages? I know it is small, but when I noticed it, it bugged me. Makes you wonder if the writers or producers took the 20 seconds to think this through. I think it tells the overall quality of the whole anime from this scene. [Maybe I'm being too harsh?] (End of Tangent) This gets into another big complaint; The absolute amount of time taken up by conversations. Ever hear of the phrase "Show, Don't Tell?", this is something this anime should've focused on, there's so much chatter about going into the dungeons, that the producers could've just shown a quick plan between the party and saved a lot of time each episode wasting time explaining the obvious. Lastly, the ending is just bad. Has final fight has zero thought put into it, and the boss is incredibly forgettable, and some of the scenes feel cringy and quite generic. Overall, this is kinda mediocre. So, this probably isn't worth watching over the good deal of other anime that have much better production and story, like Frieren. But I wouldn't say that there are a lot of issues besides the oversights and boring scenes. This anime just isn't captivating (especially after the sixth episode). 🗿 5/10 It's Mid 🗿
Saikyou Tank, Simping Tank, It's Simply Terrible Chit chat, prattle, babble, tittle tattle, yakking, Oh boy! i haven't heard conversation so tedious, monotonous and insipid in a long time... I tried my hardest to finish this challenge, and thanks to God "episode 9" came along which gave me the strength to carry on until it's lackluster consummation. This ninth episode was a meagre glimpse of the type of show it could have been if it stuck to what it said in the title. All in all, Saikyou Tank is an uninspiring, unstimulating mishmash of sheer poppycock, which ends up completely disrespecting the general anime fantasy experience you'vegrown to love. You know what? It could have been fine if he just sat in the dungeon for 12 episodes just tanking stuff but no, the writers/directors thought they were capable of writing decent non-combat character interaction, one look at it's current average score will show you how well that went. I'll summarize the show's drawbacks. - It's boring. - Mc is insufferable - Main cast is insufferable - Side cast are literally NPCs - They add mobile game gacha mechanics unironically. - Dungeons are just barebones and boring. - Too much explored in 12 episodes, but it's all surface level so nothing is memorable. - His party is his harem..... - The pacing is awful. - Zero tension. MC sucks, he's terrible, not believable, not tank enough, he charges into every situation headfirst with zero planning and ends up winning because of plot-armor and inventing new powers which break the rules. I will split the show into two sections which summarize the experiences found within my observations. The first section when he's inside a dungeon actually doing what the anime advertises. The second section when he's not doing the stuff in the first section. The first section is it's saving grace. 6/10 at it's best, and a 4/10 at it's worst. Not only is the first section in short supply, it's full of asspulls, garbage choreography and having full blown conversations whilst your teammates are getting their ass kicked. The dungeons themselves are an actual joke, both in their presentation, the mechanics behind them. We come then to the barely-sentient monsters inside them lead by these pathetic excuses for "dungeon keepers" just a comeplete letdown. Every dungeon raid is a speed run, he can't wait to get back to wasting our time. Another thing is, I'm sick of you bastards complaining about CG this CG that. There was no CG for anything here and it absolutely sucked, all the non-dungeon keeper fights are forgettable, and poorly conceived. I love my CG however bad it is, at least we spend time fighting hordes of mobs instead of drowning in revoltingly bad dialogue borne from terrible writing. Annoying stuff about this first section are: - When his fragile allies randomly walk in front of his shield. - When he starts a chat in the middle of heated fight. - When he's tanking up a storm and his teammates are just watching. - When his special move is an offensive move. - MC Narrating his pain whilst he's completely fine and we know he will be. - When the enemies are utter morons The second section deserves maybe a 1/10 at it's worst. It consists of: - When MC recites to you his motivations - When the harem speaks. - When the female main cast tries to show character beyond their surface. - When he talks to his harem(clan/party). - When he's dense for no reason. - When the side cast "negotiates" with the MC like drone bots. - When he's overly polite, and omnibenevolent because the writer can't manage depicting a realistic person. - When he talks and liaises with side cast with the most cookie cutter boring uninspired dialogue. Others have said, that this show lacks any depth, they introduce a concept and ideas and then drown you with pointless garbage so nothing ever gets fleshed out and you are frozen in mediocrity. It reminds me of Toaru but in reverse. In that series, There are 2 shows that need to be watched simultaneously, Index and Railgun. Index is notoriously bad and insufferable but is more action packed, Railgun is far better overall whilst being more character, dialogue and SoL focused than Index. This show, on the contrary, is just barely watchable in the action scenes and utterly abominable elsewhere. Final Ratings ----------------------------------------------------------------- Animation 5/10 Sound 5/10 Story 2/10 Characters 2/10 Enjoyment 4/10 18/50 - 3.6 - 4/10 Avoid like the Plague. Shows like this make me reminisce of brilliant Chinese 3D shows like "Fanren Xiu Xian Chuan" where the villains and monsters are absolutely terrifying, extremely intelligent and unforgiving. The tension is off the charts, the stakes are real and if you stop to chat you will be obliterated. Unlike this show, with it's shameless direction where they managed to sneak in the obligatory hot spa scenes despite the main show being starved of substance. If you're semi-addicted to fantasy experiences like these, trust me this one isn't worth it, I'm a heavy binger and at best i think i barely managed 2 episodes a day almost falling asleep at the end of the 2nd episode. To be honest this show did such wonders for my sleep, i was practically sleeping midday with the sun out. Might be a great alternative to sleeping pills. Hope this helps.
