The Faraway Paladin

Completely uninteresting in a sea overrun by Isekai. Nothing about this show is interesting. In fact, it's slow, boring and the action is incredibly lackluster and weakly animated.

Studios need to stop releasing these crappy Isekai anime. The MC is lame, annoying and cries WAY too often. Jesus, where are the Isekai that have even half the qualities of Slime, Moonlit Fantasy, Knights and Magic, etc etc.

THE FARAWAY PALADIN. (2021-2023) This is a slower Isekai anime series, to be sure, but not nearly a bad as some people have been saying. The pacing is certainly slower for an adventure fantasy series, with much less action, gore and battles than other more popular series of the same breed might have, but I feel the backstory is important as well as character growth, and so far this series has been great at setting up those things. The art is solid, as well as the characters.

The story centers around Will, a young orphan raised by three undead monsters (Mary, the Mummy, Blood, the Skeleton & Gus, the Ghost) in the City of the Dead, isolated and apart from humanity. As he nears 15 years of age he is expected to strike out on his own and make a life for himself. He sets out to become a warrior priest, giving rest to lost souls and making allies along the way, such as Meneldor, the half-elf.

Will, the main young man is boyish, for sure, and naive in the beginning of the series but hopefully will soon mature as the show progresses and more so after he embarks on his journey. That aspect makes sense, as he grew up very sheltered, with only the three undead monsters that raised him

Overall, it seems an interesting premise for this Isekai Fantasy Adventure series. Visually the show is well made, and the art style is very pretty. Recommended for more patient viewers, who like stronger character development and slower paced back story building.

Just like vinland saga this anime does not boast about the strength of the mc but actually represents that how no war can we be won by a single person , the mc is powerful but still needs someone to rely on and also how religion can help a person follow a righteous path. The details in this anime are really precious as they are not exaggerated but beautifully connected how it could in reality. No doubt this anime is very realistic and has a great ending. Maybe the isekai part or rebirth part could be mistaken as kne of those powerful mc with cheats and hacks but this anime demonstrated that if you want to live a better life then you have to work harder as soon as you realize it.

This is such a wonderful reincarnation anime.

They did a great set up in the first 3 episodes and you can't help but like the protaganist/MC - Will...He is likeable and his adopted family members are likeable, even the grumpy old grandpa.

Then when he starts out in the world, he is not met by busty girls who have a crush on him, he instead are met by a wide range of interesting people, and Meneldor is my favourite followed by Tony.

I am so glad that it got a second season, and it seems like it will get a season 3. I loved it so much that the first time I watched it, I stayed up all night; the second time I watched it - was the next night - I just had to watch it again.

Please give it more love - its really great...I cried so many times.

The last season is the weak link, but still worth the watch.

This anime is like a retold Version of the Bible. The main character is made to be like some sort of Jesus and along the way he meets his disciples and builds his following. The series has its moments but it is at times rather dialogue heavy and becomes exceptionally boring. There are also moments where it holds your attention but the ramblings between the characters sometimes are like peering in on boring conversations.

There are some interesting concepts to this but I swear someone just remixed stories from the bible to make the plot to this anime. It's not entirely bad and it's not really worth anything under a 5 star rating on here but the show truly fails to make itself interesting at times when action would be more suitable. It suffers the same problem as "Attack On Titan" did when it became so dialogue heavy and veered from its original concept that it started to loose people's interests. Sometimes that seems to be a common problems with anime's that don't exactly know what they should be.

The second season of the anime is extremely boring. The main character is overly virtuous and it gives him a personality flaw. His boyfriend the elf also adds little to nothing to the story. I've never watched such a long winded anime. It's this entire series could have been done in a 1hr 30 minute movie. There truly is nothing packed into each episode but talking and occasionally fighting a monster that never seems to be a real challenge.

First season was so so and the second season was so so boring.
