Redo of Healer. Oh boy. What an anime. While I definitely don't hate it as strongly as some do, that's more because I have seen a lot of terrible, terrible things and this doesn't phase me. However, it is definitely bad. The only things I enjoyed about this anime were the concept of healing someone and experiencing their experience and pain and a few of the aesthetics of character designs, namely Keyaru, Blade, Karman and Norn. Their personalities were as flat as wax paper but those four had decent physical designs that didn't expose all of their bodies and weren't the epitome of muscle, ecchi,
...
or moe. Stereotypical, yes, but better than some of the others.
As for the flaws of the series, there are a ton. Aside from the terrible inconsistent animation which sometimes forgot linework and magically restored clothes in addition to being poor quality, the characters are generic and uninteresting. Each character is made to fill a specific role and there is nothing else to that character. The main character is the epitome of mixing overpowered isekai protagonist and hentai protagonist. The people that he wants revenge against are all horrible, horrible people. The girls he brings on his journey are all adorable and empty-headed. It's the very definition of generic.
And then, there's the part that people hate. It's not just a bad anime: It's a bad anime with gratuitous amounts of violence and sex. While that isn't always bad, it by no means adds anything to this show. It takes the idea of revenge and ironic justice and wraps it around what is, in essence, a person taking out his anger on those who have wronged him. Whether or not the viewer is supposed to sympathize with the protagonist, I honestly do not know. If the creators are trying to paint him as someone serving justice, they have done a terrible job. If they are trying to paint him as someone warped by his circumstances into a terrible person, then they did that, at least, albeit overtly and without any style or reason.
That pretty much sums my thoughts up. Overall, 10/10 anime. Would recommend.
