| Surprisingly enjoyed this way more than I thought, I'm going to miss it. They did good to develop Broughston, Angelica, even Kelvin which I feel like other shows wouldn't bother to do. Overall just a well rounded anime and satisfying ending, 1000x better than I Parry Everything. Wouldn't mind a season 2 of this at all |
| I'm glad the show ended with that amazing opening song!!! Unapologetic ossan energy radiates from it. A mixture of nostalgia, bitterness, regret, hard work, and joy! Hurah! And if the past 11 episodes were about Rick finding and pursuing his dreams (of becoming an adventurer), this final episode is the embodiment of him expressing that hard work with a glorious fist-fight with one of his mentors. |

ow + nw = 90-2000s |
| Maybe not the best show of the season but one of the surprises. Always good to go into a show with zero expectations and have them greatly exceeded. |
| Just a couple of bros beating the hell out of each other. This was a very satisfying season finale, Broughston's backstory was neat and helped make Rick's journey reach an impactful endpoint beyond just his own dream. One thing I really appreciated is despite his Super Saiyan power up Rick passed out before his mentor. If Rick had pulled off a complete upset it would've gone from an impressive duel to feeling a little cheap to me. One of the better shows of the season. Had some really solid laughs throughout. Rick's self doubt didn't outstay its welcome and after a few episodes he had a growing confidence culminating in having to try and take on an unbeatable S-class orc and I enjoyed being along for the ride. If there's a season 2 I hope Angelica gets a prominent role, she played off Rick and Broughston in the tournament arc so well. And if there's a second season hopefully they figure out something to do with the elf and the vampire because they were one note bores throughout the entire run of the show. 7/10 |
| Rick & Broughston went all out, and ended up in a draw. I wonder if there's gonna be a second season... 🤔 |

| What a crazy fight! It was brutal to see Rick activate the Kaioken and face Broughston laughing maniacally; while Broughston finally fulfilled his dream of fighting someone on equal terms, destroying everything in his path. It was strange that the barrier lasted so long after so many battles. The series started a bit boring, but episode after episode, it became more interesting and exciting. The OP was perfect, fitting the message of the anime. The only thing missing now would be an OVA with Reanette in the hot springs! |

I didn't expect to like it so much. Easy 9/10 |
| Legit one of the best fantasy shows out there. Unlike shows of the same ilk, it actually has character progression and all the characters are actually smart and capable. 8/10 |
 |
| The only reason i first watched this anime was because i thought reanette was really hot. This anime has no right to be this good, what an amazing story and concept. Loved it |
| Simple and really nice show. Grew a lot, I agree with those who thought the opening was rather horrible. At the beginning you'd think "Parry Everything" and this were clone shows. I actually think we'll see a second season. |
| Good show, terrible music, but the fight was good and the ending was a good point to stop. I don't like the love triangle thing but we'll see how that pans out. Rick has a pretty cool skill and it was nice to see them pass off the belt after they got what they needed. I'd like to see another season. |

| @StateofOhayo The music was awesome. :) It was so bad it was good. |
| Nice 5/10, pleasant surprise, better than 90% of usual seasonal slop. |
| When Rick did the quarter thumbs up, I really felt that. |
| this anime deserved season 2 bro. |
| Angelica ended up being my favorite character with her ojou-sama accent. I doubt it will get season 2, so I'll just read the manga, which the anime is almost one-to-one with. |
| Really enjoyed the series and this episode was a fantastic finale. Nothing more manly than 2 guys going all out in a fist fight. Cant wait for season 2. |
| Despite the horrible opening song, this anime ended up being one of the best of the season |
| Ending wasn't too bad, 2/6 stones to go. Shame he didn't go for the hot springs. |
| . |
| awesome final fight. now they have 2 orb, this story is basically collecting the infinity stone, anime version. |
| And there's the last episode. I want to say that while I don't consider Ossan Newbie to be the absolute best anime ever, I think it does well to have a message it wants to get across and also a decent enough understanding of what makes people actually care about certain characters. I think that sometimes, for the characters we just don't really know all that much about yet, they could introduce what they're really after a lot earlier. I'm usually not a huge fan of tournament arcs, but when characters have strength orientated goals like some of the ones we learned about during this arc, the tournament setting lends itself well to that, so it's very forgivable. That is, you have some anime with tournament arcs that just... pretty much reveal a character's skills, maaaaybe some superficial level knowledge about them and their goal... but a lot of the time that goal is just something that seems so placeholder and you can't... truly find much before that really makes them show that the goal is all that important to them unless the character is kinda one-dimensional. Broughston is actually an interesting character in that one can see that all that we learned here actually does lead right back to what he's been doing all this time. Same with Rick. Angelica maybe didn't have that at first, and maybe when the author started the story there was perhaps no intention to make her more than some snooty noble. However, it's fine because they really picked her up from where she had been-- tremendously. They do well to answer the question of what the character wants... and then the question of "no, but what does the character REALLY want?" For example, so done am I with the typical "My family is poor, so I want to do this so they don't have to struggle". Okay. That's like filler goals. What type of lifestyle do you want them to have? Any selfish goals you've got? You want your own room in that family house so you can finally watch your porn stash in secret? You're actually sick of eating one portion of rice every day because you're actually secretly a foodie? There has to be something more. Anyway, I see they know what to do with characters, I hope they give some of the others some similar treatment though! The humor feels a little dated sometimes, but that's okay. I mean, am I cracking up at Rick getting super motivated over the hot springs with Reanette? No. Is it supposed to be humorous? Yes... but eh. Still, do I feel that an interesting amount of love and passion was put in this story overall to make me easily forgive that? Yes. I read the manga too, so I'm happy to just see two forms of this story. Nice ride. |
| Tricked me into watching a battle shounen anime by selling this as a fantasy adventure anime with an Ossan protagonist. Well, it was kinda meh for the most part but the last few episodes gave me the good old dbz vibes. Also, the overall message that it's never too late to follow your dreams is a plus I guess. Would've liked this more if it had a proper story. |
 |
| Goddamn, I haven't watched a fight like that in any anime in a long time. Metal asf. |
 |
| This anime is purely enjoyment. Super cool stuff. I was planning rating this 8/10... but wow.. here take my 9/10 |
 |
| Orcs past was interesting and touching. Honestly didn't think Rick would put up much of a fight. This tournament arc felt a bit too long. Maybe I just wanted to see more of a story development or adventure. Felt like nothing happened these 12 episodes apart from meeting the main cast. |
