nouvelle ecole saison 2 episode 8 stream the kingdoms of ruin reviews
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. There’s a noble family, some guard people and staff for the family, some adventurer animal-girls that appear at some point and just join the pack of people following Ryouma around, and some staff Ryouma hires for his free slime labor laundry business. Beyond their appearances and roles I don’t think I could explain any of these people. They all just stand around spouting expository dialogue or more blandishments about Ryouma and his amazing magical abilities. The other character that gets the most screentime is probably the noble family daughter, which the show uncomfortably sets up as a romantic interest for Ryouma. They do try to justify this by saying that Ryouma’s mind is degenerating back to that of an eleven-year-old, which is pretty damn terrifying if you think about it.
