Some shows make me question just what happened with it over the course of it’s development. And surprisingly this question for Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town isn’t raised over visual quality like I normally expect, but more about the quality of the jokes and general enjoyment. Very quickly I lost interest in the show as it had less and less moments that I honestly enjoyed. By the end, I was finishing it up more over just how much time I had already put into the show. Side note, the title of this anime is just way too long.
The original draw for me was the jokes. And we started off good with the first couple episodes just filled with good puns and jokes that made me laugh constantly. The entire episode was funny and enjoyable and just made me want to watch more. And than it all just kinda ended. The jokes became more repetitive and boring with them just eventually just stopping pretty much all together, instead they focused more heavily on story and the characters.
For the story characters, they both ended up being rather generic and uninteresting. Most of the characters are overpowered compared to normal people, but under powered compared to the truly powerful hero’s in the world. But in this lays the issue for me. We are supposed to get invested in stories that involve world ending events and demon lords. While knowing you have an entire village of entirely overpowered people who could solve the issue in moments if they ever bothered to show up. So they have to create excuses to keep them away or distracted, or just make them idiots. I can say that they attempted to do some character arcs, some of the worked out well. But in the end, not enough for me to really enjoy the characters in the arcs.
One final issue is the ending. It just, wasn’t very good. Over the course of the show they didn’t do a good job at pacing, so the final big fight was rushed. We get introduced to the final villains just a short while before the show ends. With the final fight and defeat of the villain happening all in a single episode. So it all ended up being rushed and unsatisfying to watch. With a feeling that I was meant to go read the source to experience the true story.
When it comes to the visuals, in general I figured they were pretty average. Nothing it did from the slower slice of life stuff, to the various animated puns and jokes, to the various battles really stood out. Sure it wasn’t in any way terrible, I would never call it that. But it definitely isn’t the type of show I would recommend if you want to be stunned by what you are watching.
So my honest conclusion for this show would be, it isn’t all that important to watch. Nothing it does it all that great. And comes in being below average for me. You have much better options for both action shows involving overpowered characters, or comedy shows with good puns and jokes.
