Hataage! Kemono miči

Let us now take a look at how a professional wrestler with the tender soul dreams of finding or ideally building paradise of people, animals and dreams... Let us also look at how the mangaka Natsume Akatsuki who was behind KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! largely repeats himself... Let us be honest, reviewer q66 is right, the first few episodes are hilarious, the jokes are really good, the timing is good and works, even one of the first fight scenes, the one with the Orc King, is very dynamic, well animated and has a great atmosphere. Sure, there are moments in the beginning (like when Genzo shows the three-headed dogs who the Alpha male is) where you think this is more cringe-fest than entertainment, however, it does not really matter. The biggest problem, though, is that it all runs out of steam awfully quickly. The jokes get so repetitive that they stop being funny. The characters react in the same way all the time - so predictably, so I stopped laughing after some time, and even the action gets weaker by the episode. Therefore, after a while, the only way to enjoy it is to compare the characters in this show with those from KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!, like how little you find it surprising or amusing... Then you expect a change with the arrival of Genzo's main rival, even though nothing much is happening. The last part is just an attempt at an epic ending with a spectacular battle, from which I do not feel that it would be any better than the one already mentioned with the king of the Orcs from the first parts. This is mainly due to the static editing, which in combination with the ongoing dialogue just looks weird. The characters are a strange collection of misfits, some of whom may be interesting or even likable, although when you end up considering the best character to be a weird ant, who is there in a supporting role even though he is still actually the most effective member of the ensemble, then something may be slightly wrong. Oh yeah, it started so nicely, I was enjoying it so much at the beginning and now at the end it is just meh... 5.3/10. (20.12.2019)
