:/ I was talking about the forum discussion. IE no value comes from just discrediting other opinion. showing and discussing points is better. |

Wow! That was a attack on the author, the production group, the voice actors and the animators of this anime! I hope heartedly disagree with everything stated in this attack on those individuals. It’s almost as if a agenda was chosen as a attack theme prior and like the actual show was never watched in full context! This anime different why? The main character was raised by past undead hero’s! Yes he was from Japan and lived a quit life died young! My opinion is the do not close to what’s put up here! I disagree and after checking Reddit and other social media realized just how attacking this anime and its author! It’s shocking Anime News Network let this be posted on the site! I enjoy the story, it’s pacing and the animation so far! Far Away Paladin has built up an interesting world so far! I will be along for the journey! I am disappointed by this attack! But everyone is allowed a opinion! Just when it’s used on social media it should get called out for what it is!
Thank You someone who disagrees with what written and stated here!!! |

Faraway Paladin is definitely just the 21st century version of Lodoss War, but with worse animation. Basically: a novelized D&D campaign.
And the whole feel of the story skews super 90s. Like, y'all... just imagine how much restraint it took to not make Menel a busty elf girl.
I remember back in the "dark ages" of LN and manga adaptations, we'd often see stories expanded in the adaptation rather than cut. Most fans really hated it--decrying the "filler"--and while, yeah, sometimes it was justified (okay, mostly, it did often tend to be rather low-effort) but it did almost universally result in better-paced shows. In another era, I can absolutely see Faraway Paladin devoting an entire cour to Will's childhood, slowly teasing out the mysteries and ambiguities of the characters while worldbuilding. And also using that slower pacing to be able to spend more of the animation budget on the big climactic fights. Oh well. |

I'd rather watch a show involving characters I might hate, than watching ones with no flaws whatsoever. Call a spade a spade, but don't go acting snobbish that others don't find meaning or value in said work.
