Also they carry emotion and they too show the complex personality as any other individual creature and not a simple AI. They would start running away if they get scared or injured, thus you have the chance of loosing your bounty. However the beast dont just die from a slash. You have to go kill goblins or wild beasts. For example, they portrayed the reality of providing food for the table takes work and effort. I also appreciated how they incorporated the level of reality in a daily persons life in this. A sharp weapon is as strong as any cool looking rare legendary swords, meaning they can both kill. Such as a single arrow can actually kill someone (which is relatively true in the real world). Its like living a non-fictional concept in a fictional setting. In "Hai to Gensou no Grimgar" you see non of that. The beasts/ enemies you fight distribute no real consequences. Everything is efficient, such as spoils you win from battle somehow goes straight to your invisible inventory. Also they are teamed with probably the strongest or unique individuals in the game. For example: typical RPG anime tends to get the main character OP, or they some how posses a ridiculous rare item or weapon of some sort which gives them an advantage. It had the values of a RPG but it is within the setting of real life consequences. I do like the idea of certain ways of doing things, but by far I found this one the most original. so conformed to this style of anime that I was at first bothered by the slow story line.Īfter SAO Ive been pretty much watching every single RPG type anime.

This is definitely a risk competing in the market of quick profitable 'B' grade animes with a lot of fan service. To be honest at first I felt it was so slow because of the level of excellence they were putting into the story build up.

However "Hai to Gensou no Grimgar" doesn't do this. My pet peeve from Anime is rushed, unrealistic meaningless plots with no build ups. First of all this is the only reason why I have registered and signed up to this site, simply to write a review on this anime.
