Okay so, there was this new anime that got really popular on social media, the original manhwa is very popular too, so, the anime should be great, RIGHT???
Well......

Don't take me wrong, I do not regret watching this series, it's actually fun to watch and pretty easy to do, as the plot is soooo simple that you just, can kind of deactivate your brain while you watch it. But, is it really worth it to do so?

STORY

Oh and, I guess there will be some spoilers from now on? even tho, they're not really that important.

Long story short, this anime goes about a world just like ours, when some years ago, suddenly there started appearing portals that led to dungeons, kind of like a videogame, and also, some humans started to awaken powers that allowed them to go into this portals and annihilate the monsters on them (This humans receieved tha name of "hunters"). But, why would they go into the dungeons to kill monsters? Two reasons:

1. If no one goes into the portal and defeats the boss of the dungeon, there will be something called a "dungeon break", in which the monsters will enter into the real world, so, the hunters go into the portal, and once they defeat the boss of the dungeon, the portal will disappear

1. Inside the dungeons, there are some resources, that humanity started using in the real world for things like medical purposes, building armors or weapons for the dungeons aaaand, some other stuff that I don't remember because, honestly, they just mention it like one time and that's all.

So, the story starts when the protagonist, the guy named as "the weakest hunter of all mankind", gets involved in some misterious rank C dungeon (Yeah, forgot to say it but, both hunters and dungeons are classified in ranks from E to S, in the case of dungeons, the rank defines the difficulty of the dungeon, the higher the rank, the stronger the monsters inside it), where they find some monsters that are much more dangerous than they expected, and they are faced with an entity that they cannot defeat. The protagonist miraculously survives and obtains the strange ability of increasing his power by training and defeating mosters (strange because, normally, hunters cannot increase their initial power by training or in any way at all)

That's the premise of the series, very simple and to the point, okay, so, maybe there is other aspect of this anime that is more interesting?

CHARACTERS

Let's go with the characters, they might be a good reason to watch it? Well, not really, first we have:

Sung Jin-woo

~~~~~~

Sung Jin-woo, the protagonist of this story, at first, the weakest hunter from his world, kind of a regular guy, sentimental, not really tough or anything, usually lets other people walk over him, but, after this strange dungeon that he survives and obtaining the ability of increasing his power, he turns into.... some kind of empty shell, you never really see some kind of purpose or motivation behind his actions, he just kinda goes with his new life, getting stronger and all that, but you never get a real connection with him.

Lee Joo-hee

Lee Joo-hee is a B-rank Healer, but, she goes on dungeons of a lower rank because she's too scared to get into something more dangerous. At first, you'd think of her as some kind of romantic interest for the protagonist, as it's shown they have gone in missions in the past and, she shows that she cares a lot for the protagonist, worrying about him a lot, knowing full well how weak he is. But after the first three chapters, she kind of... disappears. She appears a few times again but, she's overall unimportant to the plot, and also, since the protagonist now is much stronger and she got some trauma for the dungeons, they just go different ways. No idea if she'll appear again in the future but for now, that's not the case.

And... that's about it.

Yeah, there are a few more characters that appear multiple times, like the sister of the protagonist and some D-rank hunter that he meets later on a dungeon, but, you don't really get to know the characters at all, the most you can see is how they interact with Sung Jin-woo, but besides that, it's like they don't even exist.

ANIMATION

First, gotta clarify, this is my PERSONAL opinion, and I understand if there's people that actually enjoyed this aspect of the series, but, in my case, the animation feels like it's barely above average, to begin with, I'm not much of a fan of the designs, okay, that's just on me, but, what about the animation, like, the fights and all that?

Regarding the moments where the animation should shine, and, without it being actually BAD, it does feels as if it's barely above average, the fights could feel weird at some moments, not very fluent, not a good coreography, same like all the other aspects of this anime, its just OKAY, nothing else, I wouldn't be thrilled to watch any of the fights again if I had to.

All I gotta say to finish is, I was expecting much more of this anime.

I would recommend it if you want to have a good time, but, not much more, as this anime is completely forgettable, sadly.
