ayakashi triangle ep 1
Now as a newly reincarnated 8-year-old with all the memories of his old life, Ryouma proceeds to sit on his butt in a forest and do jack-all for three years. Well actually he trains a bunch of slimes, because isekai shows always seem to require some sort of gimmick to let them say, “see it’s not completely a generic isekai show!”, though I feel like this gimmick is one-upped by that other isekai where the guy actually becomes a slime. In any case a few years later some locals find Ryouma living as a child hermit and invite him back to their town where he continues his current lifestyle of doing jack-all.
Now as other reviews point out, the low stakes and slow pace are certainly intentional: the show is a combination of the isekai and iyashi genres – the two ultimates of otaku
escapist fantasies. It’s supposed to be a nice charming slice-of-life about a jaded man experiencing a wonderful magical world in juxtaposition to his terrible previous life. And to be honest I have nothing against either genre in principle – I enjoy shows like Konosuba and Non Non Biyori. However the key component those shows have that Kamitachi ni Hirowareta Otoko lacks is characters that are fun to watch. Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness may not be particularly complex characters, but they are at least distinct and play off each other well. It doesn’t matter that the plot of Konosuba mostly involves the main cast bumming around one city, because their dysfunctional antics
make me laugh and want to keep watching.
Kamitachi ni Hirowareta Otoko’s characters have no such uniqueness. Pretty much the only defining feature of all of them is that they all love Ryouma and think he’s amazing.
He did not have information about the berserkers or the Berserker Armor (which first appeared in the 222nd chapter) planned out from the start. He chose the word, telling himself that "its mysterious aspect would stick well. " Miura said that the title was connected to Guts' imagery, influenced by Mad Max's eponymous character, further elaborating: "In short, starting from a world with a
dark hero who is burning for revenge, prompts you to imagine a rabid character. When, guided by his anger, he will pour out this rage on overpowered enemies, we must insist on his fanaticism if you want to stay consistent. That's why I thought "Berserk" would make a perfect title to represent my universe. "[13] According to Miura, the series' dark fantasy setting was inspired by the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian and the
Elric of Melniboné series. [14][15][16] Miura stated that he did not see dark fantasy as a genre in itself, but rather as an equivalent of general fantasy. He commented that outside of Japan the big works of fantasy, like The Lord of the Rings, contain dark elements, and in Japan, the fantasy genre was popularized by video games like Dragon Quest, which were aimed at children, and therefore, expurgated the dark elements, but since he received the influence from novels before that of those games, Miura "naturally turned to dark fantasy. "[15][16] Miura said that Fist of the North Star, by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara, was the work that had the greatest impact on his own work,[7] helping as well to develop his art style. [17][18] Miura also mentioned animator and manga artist Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and manga artist Fujihiko Hosono as early influences to his art style. Violence Jack by Go Nagai and Guin Saga by Kaoru Kurimoto inspired the series' story and atmosphere.
