Major Spoiler alert Preface: This isnt a review for the actual anime but my personal thoughts about it sounds dumb but it kind of gave me an out of body experience and really made me contemplate. Ive never done a review nor actually will after this but I was inspired just enough to actually write about this. Also 75 of the reason I wrote b/c I was thinking Ill have an essay laying around at go if I ever need in the future. So if certain parts seem strange its just me using this as a notebook in a way. Is it worth watching? If you want something simple and entertaining Yes. STORY: 8.1 Has some pretty basic run of the mill writing for the regular plot stuff but the life lessons are pretty well written. Points off for the criminal amount of plot holes Characters: 9.5 fitting in with my analysis I thing the characters are all play a really good part in showcasing the different real world problems people have. Nick being cheated on Idols Curran being used by fake friends eating? Tiana becoming an outcast due to rumors gambling Zem false accused of child ape women? Visuals: Theres two parts to this. First the main animation which is pretty standard. Theres nothing special to be honest its very run of the mill. so 6.8 for this. Then theres the outro specifically animation wise still a 6.8 but Ill bump the score to a 7.5 for its significance to my theory. Audio: 7.5 Nothing too memorable. Regular stuff Enjoyment: 8.9 If you are looking for a anime more on the carefree side thatll just give you some fun noncomplex entertainment then Id recommend this. Its perfect for inbetween serious shows where you dont want to pay too close attention to whats going on. At first glance Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Dont Believe in Humanity Will Save the World seems like your standard shitty fantasy anime that of a medieval world which centers around an ensemble cast adventuring with the plot unfolding. However for some strange reason the message behind the plot really spoke to me enough to write this down and eventually post about here. I think the storyline has a deeper meaning behind it. Its to my understanding that there are three separate layers. First the simple anime itself with its natural plot. This is pretty much the quests and the story building that takes place. Second the life lessons the characters embody within the story itself. Which is shown as comedic and childish however these are common real world experiences. Things any human can possibly / unfortunately have the ability to relate to. Weather directly with the same scenario or indirectly with an encompassing experience. Lastly the actual hidden story that the writer is trying to tell making use of trojan horse tactics. This story is somewhat told with the use of breaking the 4th wall. The writers use the regular plot of fighting monsters clearing out dungeons and leveling up as a way to build up these characters. They make use of the outro to show and introduce the concept that these can just be regular people with reallife problems. if you skip the outros or dont look into possible lyrics you dont get the full story. Pay attention the the outro watch it in its entirety making sure to pay special attention to the lyrics There are A LOT of potholes in the story line however this is a pretty interesting anime. It doesnt really touch on its own world much with the story and setting but it focuses on the morality of humans. Obviously with the title hinting at it. How things out of their control affects their lives Factors which the characters have no control over affect their lives in a huge way. This anime even possibly teaches harsh life lessons that a lot of people might not know yet. How no one is a bad guy from the start. It touches the Jokers thought of how one really bad day can change a persons life and trajectory forever. Babies arent born evil. As a infant grows up their environment experiences during the developmental state socieconomic status education etc. all mold and shape a person. However this grandiose theory doesnt really fit any where within the main story of the anime. The actual story seems a little too simple at times. This is where it ties into the outro where the main characters seem to just be normal people living in a regular world doing common things but they are always alone. The characters are always in self isolation. This drives the nail in a little deeper. The through process of how one cant believe in humanity how have betrayed you in the past and most likely will again so by default you are alone. It seems like these are people who were wronged and in return have now retreated into a shell which keeps them safe by distancing them from everyone good or bad. They turn into an introvert to protect themselves. The outro symbolizes that the fantasy world where the main story takes place in isnt really the main focus at least for the writers who are creating this story everything happening the important things of how these characters lives get affected can really happen in reality. The plot holes could just be bad writing but for me it just reinforces my idea of this the writer is creating a normal surface level anime which is just the medium and is layering an insanely intricate painting of life and real issues humans have by hiding it within the shitty anime and using clues to tell which is only noticeable in a breaking the 4th wall kind of way when the audience fully take in everything such as title intro and outro any lyrics and actual episode I kind of feel like the characters are just regular people in the real world who are all playing an mmo together and their personal lives leak through. Maybe they are sharing common experienced or just looking for someone to talk to who would understand. Or hey maybe this is a normal ass anime that Im looking way to into like one of those art lover trope with modern paintings later note: Thinking about it the light novel is still releasing and the manga is done. This can just be a very good light novel that has amazing writing but somehow in the anime stage it was so poorly adapted it causes me to realize the amazing story hidden within. Realistically this IS a one season anime thats solely created due to popular demand/ to get more exposure for the manga / light novel so the possibility of that seems pretty high. Quick Highlight: In episode 11 Nalgrava has an amazing villain monologue about people being like a playing cards Space holder since there is a minimum word requirement ignore this
