I’ve already discussed the extra juicy part to the plot, so I’ll mention it again briefly despite this first episode not acknowledging it quite yet. The Goddess of Fate is at the centre of the entire premise, and as expected, her tale is vital to the storyline. Also, this is a light novel, so I was already expecting less showing and more telling, which is, unfortunately, all too common with that form of storytelling. Could this have been shown and not told? Of course, but we’ve only got 12 episodes with this one (sadly), so I’m not complaining about getting into the real story as soon as possible. The idea of powerful heroes coming together to defeat a deadly foe isn’t exactly revolutionary, but learning about the Saints of certain powers, and the history of those six heroes chosen 700 and 300 years ago helps build up to the current story. It wasn’t the most creative use of getting the exposition across to the audience, but because what was being told was interesting, it made up for it. There’s a lot of lore to this world that’s already been explored in this premiere – midway into the episode we pretty much got a solid info-dump. With this interesting world comes an equally interesting mythos. If this was just another European-inspired fantasy, I don’t think I would have given this a second glance. It feels different, from the architecture to the clothing of the side characters.

Why? Because there’s not many series with a world like this one. I’ve heard that the anime may have taken liberties with changing this from a European fantasy series to an Aztec fantasy, and it that is the case, it was a fantastic choice. Without even diving into the main premise or the characters, the setting of the series was enough to initially catch my interest. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode for all the reasons I thought I would.

After all, it’s done by a fairly new studio that brought us the masterful RAIL WARS, so that wasn’t exactly a big selling point.Īs it turns out, I had nothing to be worried about. I’ve gotten myself pretty hyped for this anime, and I was just hoping that it wouldn’t disappoint. I’ve been keeping up to date with the promo material, I read the beginning of the first light novel, and I wrote the summer preview for it. And the more I read about it, the more I wanted to watch it. Thankfully, there’s enough about Rokka no Yuusha that had me curious to look into it. Fantasy LN anime adaptation aren’t usually my cup of tea, since they’ve been done to death and I don’t usually get much from them. There are several things that have attracted me to Rokka no Yuusha, despite the fact it seems like the type of anime I usually don’t bother watching.
