Danmachi is an example of a series where it's impact didn't match it's hype. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it still has some kind of charm that draws you in and wanting to see what happens next.
While the concept of danmachi is interesting this season focuses on a more intense topic of the danmachi universe. However the story felt mediocre, like the story was kind of not thought all the way through. What the story fails massively at was the lack of consequences our characters suffer through. Our main character makes this choices so quickly without thought, never reflecting on the worst
...
case scenario. It doesn't make a story interesting when the tension and all the build up for it is gone and also missed opportunity for character development. Something big happens in the climax of this season while fans will find it a miracle. I see it as cheap shock value. It's a very bad of a decision that was on the author's part.
Characters are still bland as they come. Bell the boy scout and hero of our story didn't seem to change at all throughout these events. He's still a wimpy generic MC and by now through all these things he's been through is just annoying for his character. While at the same time he's still being drooled over by many women that are constantly being added unnecessarily to his harem. Hestia who doesn't appear much in this season still can't avoid the boob shots and butt shots from JC Staff. The other characters are ..... fine? there's just nothing that really makes them stand out because of how poorly focused and fleshed out they've been to make me even care. It makes it more like they're there to give Bell a helping hand.
The art and sounds are were the anime is at it's strongest. Danmachi has a wide range of talented VAs and sound design. However in the animation department you can see where the animation was iffy and just alot of still images. One episode there was barely any movement, it's just still frames or moving heads. The fight scenes are ok as well but some of them happen off camera or the frames skip.
In the end the show didn't live up to it's expectations and got drowned out by other anime shows from this season that did much better on what danmachi fails on.
