The corrupt, contemptible society he is forced to fight for is not what you might anticipate from a genre where the settingâ the fantasyâ is meant to be an escape from the monotony of the real world. Though isekai anime taking a turn for the dark are hardly rare, the abject betrayal Naofumi faces is not the treatment one would expect for someone abducted from their world and supposedly re-branded a 'hero'. If there is a reason Tate no Yuusha ever stood out in the first place, it is because of the protagonist and the appalling situation he is soon forced into. In truth, Tate no Yuusha doesn't please much of anybody. And for those who would not have labeled themselves as such, Tate no Yuusha is a testament to their dislike or indifference, being yet another mediocre, soulless title lurching and tossing throughout a tired genre that is swiftly approaching its death throes. Tate no Yuusha is a thundering disappointment for many fans of the isekai genre. Help improve our database by adding background information here.
