  The latter seasons are nowhere as enjoyable as season one. After season one revenge arc the story becomes uninteresting. The second season start is famous for its bad CGI tortoise and I can’t even remember what happened in that arc. Season 3 and 4 introduce new characters, places and power systems and have potential to be good and interesting but plagued with boring character dialogues, unexplained power systems and new places don’t get explored. The worst of all, Naofumi getting a big Harem and that gets in the story.

  That said Season 3 is better than Season 4 and way better than 2 but not as interesting and good as Season 1.

  It has consistently gotten worse with each season. I could barely pay attention to season 3, and I dropped it after that, which I’ll explain below:

  ::: spoiler At the end of season 3, with effectively no buildup, they announce that Raphtalia is actually a princess in exile, which she was completely unaware of. And because Naofumi gave her a specific kind of clothing to wear, that had mistakenly announced her intent to compete for the throne. :::

  I personally find this to be extremely poor and lazy writing for what I hope is obvious reasons. Combining this with the increasingly boring seasons makes me think this series is irredeemable at this point.

    Yeah, it’s kind of like someone (presumably the light novel author) said, “Hmm, should I just put a timeskip here until the next big bad comes along? But then the series will be shorter and I’ll lose money . . . oh, wait, orphans in these stories always turn out to have some kind of important background, right?”

  I’m still enjoying it. One of the better isekais out there right now. It’s not perfect and a bit formulaic at times but the art, setting and character designs are quite good.

  If you’re looking for an amazing story that would win a Pulitzer, keep looking, but if you want an entertaining weekly show to dive in to, it’s been good.
