Shinmai Ossan Boukensha, Saikyou Party ni Shinu hodo Kitaerarete Muteki ni Naru.

It is common knowledge that it is best to become an adventurer when you are as young as possible because the magical power that is the basis of an adventurer's strength will hardly grow if you don't train it while you are young. But this man, Rick Gladiator, who became an adventurer when he was over thirty years old, had the combat power of an S-rank adventurer, the highest rank in the world. In fact, Rick has lived an unimaginable life with the members of the legendary Orihalcon Fist, a party of the continent's strongest adventurers. From dragons to vampires, Rick's fighting prowess, trained by his literal "monster" mentors, allows him to defeat elite adventurers one after another who try to underestimate him.

I'm an elitist pig anime watcher, and while I act like I know something (and literally know nothing), there is one true aspect I'm an expert in - overpowered MC trash. Is this show generic? Yes. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it genuinely pretty good? In my opinion, 100%.

A big fan of the manga, the backstory of the main characters turn out to be great. Rick's party Orihalcon Fist is fun on screen, the waifus are cute, and the production is surprisingly good. While the world building and magic system is rehashed and generic, the self-aware humour keeps it a little fresh and the lovable ... "40-something" year old MC makes me feel young and hopeful. The following arc is great - Broughston's past in the manga honestly made me tear up.

If you're a fan of overpowered MC trash I'd definitely recommend "Shinmai Ossan Boukensha". If you don't yet have this aquired taste then maybe this show isn't for you and you'll think this review is batsh*t insane.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Anime Name is "The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible"

This anime sounds generic but is one of the better ones. The story is about a character who trains hard with the strongest party and becomes invincible. At first, he pretends to be weak, which is explained by the third episode.

The main issue is the pacing. Fight scenes have too much talking, making them feel stretched. For example, a single fight can take a whole episode, which can get boring.

The animation is decent, better than some other fantasy animes but not top-notch. Some jokes and moments are ... good, while others feel unnecessary. It's a mixed bag.

Overall, it’s a mid-tier anime. If you like basic fantasy anime, this is for you. If you prefer top-tier anime, it might not be. For me, it's a decent watch. I enjoyed some moments and not others, but it was mostly a good experience. I recommend waiting for the whole season to binge-watch, but weekly watching is also fine if you don't mind the pacing issues.

I will update my review as I watch more episodes.

And lastly,

This is just my opinion; others might feel differently. Please consider this when deciding whether to watch.

The theme of this review is the "illusion of hard work". The anime itself is a mediocre soulless isekai-like that isn't worth watching, in case you want a TLDR.

A very interesting phenomenon that I observe regularly is that almost every person will complain about how hard their life is or how hard they're working. In most cases this is not true though, therefore illusion of hard work. This happens because "hard work" is universally seen as a virtue in all societies and there is something truly fascinating when hard work is rewarded, because it often isn't. This idea also found its way into the anime ... culture, which is to be expected from a country with one of the highest number or work hours per day in developed countries. It gave birth to the "talentless hard worker" character archetype, which is now relatively common.

The main character of this anime - Rick, is basically that. The talentless hard worker... which is completely not real. Just like in reality all the hard work people are usually fake, in anime there is no hard work. It's all power fantasy for losers. About as soon as episode 4, we find that Rick actually has an overpowered skill. Did he actually work for it? Nope. While spending the first 3 episodes on depicting hardcore work/training that he went through, all of that is invalidated completely in a single moment. This obvious disconnect between what the anime claims to show and what it really shows is insulting to my intelligence as a viewer.

The first example of a fake hard worker that comes to my mind is Naruto. The show follows a similar pattern, depicting Naruto as a talentless loser and then the convenient fox power saves the day every single time, something that he never worked for. It even ends with him literally being 1/2 Jesus, chosen child of prophecy all along. Other notable examples - Deku from My Hero Academia and Asta from Black Clover (I'm seeing a trend). In all of them, the hard work is an illusion. Basically the only anime that shows REAL hard work over time with actual no talent is World Trigger.

The rest of my criticism is just all the usual baggage that most anime today have, especially light novel adaptations - the whole world exists only to blow the main character, the antagonists are cartoonishly evil, the other support characters have no value to offer as well. The second most important character is literally a maid. This honestly is just H fantasies of the author. Also, screw the gaming stuff, I want my pure medieval fantasy back.
