Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai

As dungeon-like treasure vaults started appearing throughout the land, more and more people began signing up as treasure hunters—risking their lives to obtain the vast riches and ancient relics inside. In the imperial capital of Zebrudia, the top hunter party is the Grieving Souls—a group of six childhood friends led by Krai Andrey, who is thought to be the strongest of them due to having a reputed wide array of skills.

However, Krai actually has no special talent. His accomplishments are actually the result of his friends being overpowered. Krai has repeatedly attempted to leave the party out of fear his lack of aptitudes would one day cause his companions' downfall. Nevertheless, everyone around Krai thinks differently, making him feel obligated to remain the group's leader.

Informative

1) Story Concept:
The anime follows Krai/Kurai, a hunter in a world where hunters are typically strong adventurers.
Unlike the ongoing trend of overpowered protagonists, Krai is a total weakling who relies solely on his luck (or misfortune).
His constant misunderstandings and random events lead others to perceive him as the strongest and smartest hunter, creating a unique and comedic narrative.

2) Adaptation Quality:
Studio Zero-G, though not known for many big ... titles, has done a great job with this adaptation.
While not every detail from the manga and light novel could be incorporated, the anime effectively captures the story's essence and humor.

3) Voice Acting:
The voice actors delivered exceptional performances, bringing the characters to life and enhancing both the comedic and emotional moments.

4) Action Scenes:
The fight scenes, especially in the second arc, could have been improved with better choreography.
Nevertheless, the action is engaging and serves the story well, keeping viewers entertained.

5) Overall Impression:
The anime is a solid and underrated addition to recent releases, offering a fresh and comedic take on the adventure genre.
Hoping for a second season, as Krai’s chaotic misadventures have much potential for further exploration.

6) Rating:
Total rating: 8/10
Story Concept: 9/10
Adaptation Quality: 7.5/10
Voice Acting: 8.5/10
Action Scenes: 7/10
Overall Impression: 8/10

Hope this review helps those looking for an authentic take on the story and deciding whether to watch it. If you enjoy a mix of humor, misunderstandings, and a unique twist on the adventure genre, this anime is worth a try!

Mixed Feelings

When your only power is plot armor and it has carried you to a position where one wrong step can easily result in your demise, does it make sense to wish for an early retirement.

In Let This Grieving Soul Retire do we follow Krai, the guild master of the strongest guild and leader of the strongest adventurer group in the country. The only problem is that he is the only one in the party without any powers, a thing of course no one believes,which gives people a completely different idea of what he is actually capable of.

The plot in the show is very much driven ... by Krai trying to run both the guild and his adventurer party in a way that keeps him out of trouble. But this is easier said than done, since everyone often takes his word either as a lead to a greater truth or maybe a bit too literal. Which results in all kinds of situations where his luck has to come in and save him and those around him. Which gives a fairly interesting plot, that includes some nice action and sometimes humoristic moments as well, it just feels a bit lackluster at times.

When it comes to the characters are they a bit of a hit and a miss. The thing they do great is put in a variety of characters for Krai to interact with, that each see him in a different light. They also know how to give characters some good details that slowly are unveiled as we get further into the show. What most are lagging behind in is actual character progression since we are meeting most characters after they have “peaked”, and there is no real progression in their opinions or skill sets, which makes the great unveiling of their secrets feel a bit dull, since it's not really followed up. From this it is clear they have some great groundwork for the characters, there is just not enough that really pushes them forward.

For the concept of the show, which is having a weak person somehow leading the strongest, is it a concept seen elsewhere. That does not mean that the concept is bad, and the show is definitely doing the concept in itself justice, they are keeping a nice play between people seeing Krai as he is and who they think he is. Which makes it quite interesting, but what makes it fall a bit behind is that they also sometimes play on ecchi scenes and humor. This just draws away from the original concept and takes room from the places that could use a bit more attention, which is slightly disappointing.

Animation wise is it fairly good, with it having smooth animation through both in and out of combat. There are a few moments that seem a bit more clunky, but they have generally attention to the characters movement and a great choice in colour pallets.

The show overall is not a bad show, it is just falling short in some places which is resulting in it being less captivating. So if you are really into this type of show and want to see more of it, then i would definitely recommend it, but if you want something with more detail in their characters and plot, then i would watch something else.

i hate it so much ! in most of these anime when the characters is bad behind he has special skill but here he has nothing !
and everyone praise him ? they never question it and ask to see a real fight without his relics ?
And for most part, i was like "why don't you act like a relics give you a curse that make you level 1 and got destroyed afterward and you ask your teammates to train you ?" but no, druing the whole anime, he doesn't even try to improve in any part and act like he's the best and like ... he control everything and let everyone work for him.. It just anger me so much !
They could have done better.. i've almost watched everything, thinking "maybe something good happens, maybe he will realise that he need to work out ?" BUT NO ! During the whole anime, he doesn't do anything ! And never will.. It angered me so much.. i was expecting more.
And more importantly, who give these levels ? How is the exam ? are they like "ok you have TONS of money and debt ? ok here your level 8" because that all i see !!!

Anyway if you want to watch an anime with a characters that is "weak" and that behind is strong (but not OP, just strong into something else) watch Ranking of kings, that's the kind of anime i was expecting, not in the quality (bc RK is very good) but for Characters
