Druaga no Tou: The Aegis of Uruk

It is said that every few years, there is what's known as the "Summer of Anu." During that summer, thanks to the divine protection of the sky-god Anu, all of the demons in the tower lose their power. The country of Uruk has begun an invasion of the tower in order to suppress the demons. They've built up positions inside the tower, with their sights set on getting to the upper levels. The Uruk army knows that this is the third Summer of Anu-a perfect time to launch a mission to suppress the monster Druaga once and for all. The army soldiers aren't the only ones in the tower, though. An enitre city called Meskia has formed inside the tower's first floor. It plays host not just to soldiers, but also to adventurers who have heard rumors about a legendary treasure called the Blue Crystal Rod, which is said to rest at the very top of the tower. With all these different groups in the mix, each with its own agenda, one can only guess how things will play out during this unusual summer.

Spoilers- I will try not to. The best way to describe this is by describing it as a more harsh version of Konosuba. This is not a isekai but the comedy and characters and very similar to it. Why do I say harsh, well in the moments it makes you laugh it brings you down and rather that is a mistake or not is you decision. After a serious moments it start cracking jokes after watching many today's moody anime I can give it a pass. The characters are wonderful, their design are questionable they look like children when ... are teenagers almost adults. You do fall in love with almost every character here even with ones you hate you like. There will be moments every character will make you laugh at least once. The story is great feels original even after all these years. The pace is indeed slow, slower than konosuba but faster than other anime. The sound is awful I usually never complain the sound but it was hard to understand what they were saying. I did enjoy i first saw this in 2010 i rewatch it because it was not mark that i watch it i am glad i did.

Mixed Feelings

Well it started out really great! It parodied the whole shounen genre and it was really funny, end of the episode it went 180. It didn't go bad, not really, I still had high hopes though. I thought that since it was aware of the tropes of a shounen then maybe it could break away from them. Too much hope it seems. Well watch the first episode. Everything else is just meh.

If you have watched shounen before, then you've watched this show. Something like Rage of Bahamut is a better fantasy (as bad as the game that show is based on, the anime ... was superb). The characters here enter stereotypes the moment the 2nd episode hits and even if there are a few curve balls here and there that might keep you engaged, you can just watch something else.

Watch HxH or Rage of Bahamut, Log Horizon and World Trigger (WT is a bit slow but with 50+ characters, that's quite understandable). But this is for someone to watch if you absolutely have nothing else in your life.

Starts very good.
The first episode is practically a sarcastic comedy of every "ganbare" type shounen.
The second episode convinces you that in this anime the characters will act as normal people do, and the ganbare type MC is practically just a dumb kid who has to grow up to live in this world. At this point, this anime was very promising, at last something new, something cliché-breaking.
But it betrays you. The longer I watched, the more evident it became that despite the prelude, this really is just one of those fantasy shounens that you can find on every corner.
Boring story if there is any, ... one-trait characters, no character development, undetailed world.
But in one aspect, this anime is worse than your run-off-the-mill fantasy:
The characters are not only stereotypical, but most of them are unbelievably, utterly stupid, so much that it is irritating. Others want to convince you that they have some kind of personality, some kind of purpose, but they don't. The rest are just pure evil, because something something dark side - you won't get to know really.
The same goes for the second season, just even more so.
It's a pity.
