    NOT your typical Isekai

    I made an account just to write this review after reading some of these other reviews, The Faraway Paladin isn't your typical isekai as some would say, especially since most isekais are brainless harems anime's wrapped in a fantasy world, NOT Faraway Paladin, just from the start of first episode you can tell that it's a series made out of sheer love for the fantasy genre and classic D&D, it takes its time to tell you a story and gives you plenty of action, if you love fantasy, you'll love The Faraway Paladin.

    This is a Great and Much Underrated Anime

    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.

    Like a retold anime version of the Bible

    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.

    Its pretty bad

    Nothing about this anime is worth your time. Its a 2 minute story stretched and stretched till it got boring and repetitive. I doubt the guys who made this even watched it after it got released.

    It's a valid work

    Despite being an isekai he seems of a completely different category the story is very beautiful certainly among the most original I've seen, the protagonist is not very powerful but he grows with good power ups the way in which the protagonist relates to the other characters is good his goal is particular and different from the other protagonists perfectly in line with the story, the side cast is not the best developed only in the deuteragonist and his "parents" for the rest nothing special even worse as regards the female cast even worse while the battles are simple and contain cgi but they are well done, taking everything into account I can say that it is a very valid work.
