![]() ![]() Maybe more of this comes into play later in the series though I will admit that largely Noir defaults back to nice-guy protagonist mode and is really just going through the motions of walking through a fantasy story. He’s actually almost cruel to his father in the way he verbally cuts him down after his father’s low position costs him his own opportunity to pursue work in the library. Mondo: The Art of Soundtracks (hardcover)ĭespite being the generic, brown-haired, mostly quiet and unassuming protagonist one expects from this type of series, Noir actually gets a little bit of personality early on. After finding out that Noir can use his Great Sage ability realistically only when getting kisses to off-set his headaches I kind of suspected what this anime’s focus was going to be and the double whammy of his need to restore life points through enjoying worldly pleasures in order to use the raft of other skills he acquires in the dungeon really lowered my expectations for any compelling narrative given it seemed like the plot existed just to contrive reasons to have Noir interact with the various girls around him. That said, Hidden Dungeon only has a score of 6.37 on MAL and looked like a fairly forgettable fantasy story filled with an excessive number of female types so I wasn’t expecting all that much going into this anime. Basically, ecchi is neither a lure for me nor an actual concern provided I’m interested in the rest of the story. How Not To Summon a Demonlord really surprised me with how enjoyable it ended up being and while there were a few ecchi moments I probably could have lived without in the series, those elements didn’t intrude on my overall enjoyment of the show. That said, I still usually give them a shot because there have been a few over the years that have really grabbed my interest. If you’ve followed my blog any length of time you know that I am not a huge fan of ecchi anime or harems in general. Here is Noir, our earnest and fairly unremarkable protagonist for the series. ![]() In fairness I made it two episodes into this one so it has already done better than Hortensia Saga. ![]() I’ll watch as much as it takes to make a decisionas to whether the anime will be added to the watch/review list or dropped and forgotten.The anime must be new (not a sequel or spin-off).Rules modified for the Autumn 2021 season. ![]()
