Rokka no Yuusha:
Rokka no Yuusha started out quite strong, but ran out of stamina (source material) halfway through and fumbled the fuck out of its pacing for the second half, accumulating into a giant fucking slap to the face of any viewer who has been watching it for the mystery aspect.
You see, this is what happens when a 1 cour anime tries to adapt only 1 volume of source material, and in doing so, stretches the pacing out so thin that it becomes downright infuriating. The pace slows the a crawl for each episode as conflict after conflict arises for no apparent reason, incited by dipshit and braindead characters with an inexplicable "shoot first and ask questions later" mentality.
Also, the answer to the central mystery of the show is fucking trash. The most obvious suspect is actually the culprit; there was never really any mystery to begin with. You'll be left staring at the screen in disbelief as the show acts as if this insulting answer is some insane plot twist straight out of The Matrix; it felt like the show had shat on me, spat on me and given me the middle finger - all at once. I know what you're trying to say to me, Rokka. Don't worry, the feeling's mutual.
story 4/10 it's a real piece of shit
Art:
It's pretty and colorful and has some interesting character designs, which sadly, have been wasted on a show with subpar writing.
Sound:
Above average at best and mediocre at worst.
Character:
The characters started out with a lot potential but slowly devolved into retarded parodies of themselves, acting extremely immaturely, impulsively, and irrationally just because the plot demands more conflict. Whatever interesting or endearing traits there are are completely negated by their frustrating actions later on.
Enjoyment:
I enjoyed a lot it at the start but my enjoyment just teetered out as the show dragged on, then completely burned out at the pathetic "the moment of truth".
Overall:
5/10 don't watch this shit
