![]() there was little fat ( one area excepted), and it jumped straight into delving into the characters of both Rem Galeu ( Waki Azumi) and Shera L. ![]() This first episode was fairly streamlined, and did a good job of adapting the source material to the changed medium. Also, there are a lot of cute girls and ecchi stuff, which is always fun too. Here the goal is to have fun following a guy who can solve all his problems save one: himself. That would be wish fulfillment of another type, but not what we’re into here. Which is aided by how the show isn’t ridiculing him for his lack of social skills, it’s merely using it as a way to keep him as a likeable character, rather than a School Days-level womanizer and bloody tyrant who is thoroughly capable of slaughtering his way to the top. But I’m going to chock Diablo’s issues up to an extreme lack of practice, because that both seems to be the case and because it makes it easier to have fun with it. Now, real social anxieties are no laughing manner! I’ve got friends with them, I’ve seen them get panic attacks, it’s no fun. So why doesn’t he suck? Because his intense social anxiety means he can’t take advantage of his position nearly as much as a more functional person could. Because he’s a total self-insert Gary Stu-type character, totally overpowered and with the ability to solve nearly any of his problems from the get-go, not to mention possessed of two beautiful girls who very literally cannot leave him alone. In the preview, I referred to Death March in discussing why Sakamoto “Diablo” Takuma ( Mizunaka Masaaki) works as a main character. This season’s major magical-fantasy-action-harem-ecchi anime is here, and it’s got that isekai flavor added in, mm mm yum! This show is fascinating to me, because both in the source material and this first episode, it does several difficult things well, even if it’s in service to a story that probably won’t aspire to much beyond “ have fanservice can lulz.” Chief of all: its main character is a Gary Stu who doesn’t suck. Or, the one with the Gary Stu you’ll actually like! Golem (ゴーレム Gōremu), a forest guardian that finds a young girl, Somali, sheltering under a tree.Īs of December 2020, six volumes have been published.OP: 「DeCIDE」 by SUMMONARS 2+ (Serizawa Yuu, Waki Azuki, Hara Yumi, Ookubo Rumi, Katou Emiri.Somali (ソマリ Somari), a young girl found in the forest by the forest guardian, Golem.It tells of their travels together and of the bond between father and daughter. ![]() This is a record of the pair, one a member of a ruined race, the other a watchman of the forest. To Somali, her parents are the least of her worries-she believes she already has the only parent she needs. The Golem decides to leave behind his obligation as the Guardian of the Forest in pursuit of Somali's parents or, at the very least, any other remaining humans. Spending time together, the two grow to share a bond akin to a father and daughter. Taking the child in, the Golem comes to learn that the child is called Somali, and that she has no recollection of her parents. In the middle of a forest, a lone Golem comes across "it": a disheveled human dressed in rags and bound by chains. ![]() The human race has been hunted to near extinction, leaving the world ridden with all sorts of curious and mysterious creatures.
