The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?

It is a wonderful isekai series. I will recommend everyone to watch it. In my view it doesn't contain any spoiler. In this series, MC helps people of territory and his closer relatives. It also inspires to respect everyone irrespective of ranks. In last episodes, you see some conspiracies. They are not much and negligible.

Loved the idea of a Isekai with the protagonist who actually had to struggle, however "8th Son" failed to deliver even on that.

Inside the first couple episodes he's blessed with godly powers and by the fourth has the start of his harem which made it clear this was going to be the typical trope filled anime.

Dialog is flat (Sub & Dub), characters are not interesting enough to invest in emotionally, the animation though consistent feels empty and lacking "flair".

The final story arc could have brought something interesting back into a disappointing entry into the Isekai genre, but even that ultimately failed as well.

It's not "bad", just lacking character and boring.

Pros:

• English Dubbing.
• Consistent animation.
• Completed season with closure.

Cons:

• Uninteresting characters.
• Flat Dialog.
• "Empty" feeling animation.
• Predictable and uninspired.

Its a good anime series, plenty of thought process involved in the scenes. A nice watch for anyone.

There's also many diverse characters in the anime, although the pacing is rather quick its very digestible and worthy of binge watching in 4.5 hours :)

If you were to ask me if it were more than simply watchable? No. I definitely enjoyed the first half of the season, but everything after that just seemed...forced? Predictable? Lazy? All of the above? Yes. It's definitely worth a watch if you're bored and have a few hours to kill though. However, it's definitely not something I'd watch again either.

Unrealistic over powered main character. This show does not connect with the view on an emotional level, no excitement , you can't even feel sad. It is just rushed.
