  Solid comedy that is not afraid to subvert viewer expectations or even stomp over our feelings. One of the best isekai.

  It's not every day I find myself so damn enamored and thoroughly absorbed in a comedy anime that hits all my right points for enjoyment value. Cautious Hero is such a fun rollercoaster of a ride from the first episode, and it only gets much more addicting and captivating as the show progresses. In more ways than one, the watcher is in for quite a surprise with this anime, it's more than meets the eye. But first, when it comes to the overall storytelling, it's simple and relatively straightforward. It takes place in the dimension of the goddess, where each of them is tasked to save their own respective worlds from complete evil. Our story is set in an S-class world ruled by the demon king and his goons. We follow our two main leads.

  Firstly, we have Seiya, who is the overly cautious savage dude, and I don't say that lightly either. This man will literally spam ultimate level attack on a slime of all things until he deems it's entirely secure for you go on with your day. And, no, it doesn't stop at one or even five attacks. There is no chill when it comes to Seiya's careful persona, which not only brings tears to people's eyes. Because we, among others, have his roasting session, which utterly destroys you down to your every soul. More or less, he has a rude attitude, and he doesn't care about appearances. If you get in his way, be prepared to be destroyed emotionally. That said, I can't help myself but entirely enjoy his unusual quirk since it's executed brilliantly. At first glance, the standard isekai setting, and overly cautious and overpowered being the core theme seems slightly boring, but far from it. The author of the source Light Tuchihi knows which buttons to press to keep it all from stumbling. Instead just rises the elements higher to offer you more entertainment value.

  Oh, did I forget to mention Kazuma from Konosuba would love this man Seiya to bits? Since he gives little to no shit when it comes to genders, and will treat you like he wants you to, whether you are a male or female. I can't even begin to tell you guys how many times this man has made poor Rista (Ristarte) go through hell because of his strong personality. She is a more or less blonde version of Aqua, that's the easiest way to describe it anyway. But like the blue water goddess, Rista is another appealing and adorable addition to be held. Although she is definitely different as well. How to best put it? Rista is a lovable pervert who is in serious love with our main male Seiya. It goes over-the-top sometimes, and her reaction is crazy, so full of life and emotion. She might need to work on her approach if she wants Seiya to ever return her feelings tho. I can also sadly see not everyone will be able to appreciate Rista for perhaps that reason.

  Still, for me personally, her twisty and turny character adds to the appeal, and I adore her that much more as a result. Seeing Seiya and Rista relationship is one of the biggest reasons I loved Cautious Hero so freaking much. But the side cast is not bad either and adds to the fun. It's so impactful, vibrant, and, as stated previously: full of life. I have to give credits to the voice actors for nailing their role too, but especially Rista. Who is played by Aki Toyosaki, who had way too much fun with her voice. She can make all kinds of bizarre, unique, and down-right hilarious sounds. Not to mention, with that solid and fit art-style Rista's, every facial expression is pure gold. Of course, that goes for Yuuichirou Umehara playing the role of Seiya, I can feel the harmony between those two as they act away with tons of enthusiasm and spirit. In other words, the comedy is just absolutely top-notch, and each episode had my side hurting from laughing too much. It was great. You will see all kinds of visual comedy imagery you might've thought was impossible.

  As you already could possibly tell by my positive vibe. Artistically, it was solid and looked simply clean. It has this simple nature to it, but let me tell you that's just merely a facade to fool you. All those expressions and the spot-on execution are not something you can draw out without love and passion for your work. So studio White Fox unquestionably knocked this one out of the park and then some. Yes, the animation is no different, you will see some mesmerizing sakuga, and all action scenes looked dynamic and impactful. I had indeed go back and replay some of those moments. We had a certain risque moment with Rista where her melons where hanging in the air and dangling, and omg, that sakuga had me dying, the fluidity was insane. That's just one segment. There are so many more to properly witness yourself and be astounded or shocked. I didn't really give you a clear image representation, so I doubt this one bit won't fail to cause a massive impact positively or negatively even. If it's too much. Well, you are the judge of that.

  Let me also give a short appreciation to the ending and opening song. First off, we have MYTH & ROID, and you either hate or love their music. I am the latter, thankfully for me. On top, there is that cute and lovely ending song with Rista dancing by Riku Azuna. It's CGI and probably not the best you've seen. But honestly, you will be bopping your head left and right to the catchy tune to care much about such irregularities. Now at the core, Cautious Hero is a straightforward anime but executed its theme with great care. I mean, think about it for a moment, our main is isekai'd, and the world is more or less the same as all those other shows out there which are cut from the same cloth. The story revolves around the theme of a hero who is very overpowered and a world that needs saving to boot. But instead of staying true to the core till the end, Cautious Hero twist and turns to truly leave you shocked. It's hard to not dive into spoilers. However, essentially by the end, you might find yourself overly emotional and crying tears of a waterfall.

  That's one of the big reasons why Cautious Hero differentiates from other anime with the same setting and genre. It doesn't play inside of the box, but also outside to make sure every watcher is thoroughly engrossed and captivated. That way, this normally simple idea starts to feel complex and lets you add to the story is unique and exciting ways. Whatever the case may be, Cautious Hero has at least my seal of approval for being an outright stunning comedy. And a great anime all around that is not afraid to subvert viewers' expectations or stomp all over our feelings. You might possibly have a great and emotional time watching this anime. Now I can only cross my fingers in anticipation of a much-deserved sequel. I need one badly. At one point, I have to also pick up the light novel. If you especially love KonoSuba, then I can almost guarantee you will have a blast with Cautious Hero. This is positively one of the best Isekai anime I have personally watched in recent years, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

  Cautious Hero: A funny story with a sad ending. (Spoiler-Free)

  Cautious Hero: A funny story with a sad ending.

  Honestly, it was a really good anime. Of course, there were a few flaws as well. I'll be rating on multiple categories, so buckle up.

  Plot: 4.5/5

  -It's not the best, but there aren't any flaws about it. It's pretty simple and to the point. Overly cautious hero gets summoned to another world, (gets isekai'd), has to defeat the demon lord and his underlings, is guided by a godess, gets more aprty members along the way. It's got all the traditional isekai anime things to it, straight down to the video-game-like aura it gives off.

  Characters: 2/5

  -God, I hate Ristarte. She only really has personality in the last two episodes. I'm being completly honest when I say the only characters I really liked were Valekriye and Seiya. The others are just... hollow. They're the kind of characters you see in every single fantasy or video game based anime.

  Voice Acting - Dub: 3/5 Sub: 4/5

  -Bringing me into another reason why I hate Rista. Her high pitched voice. It's in dub and sub. Seiya's voice is pretty much the same. Mash and Elulu as well. Overall. I'd reccomend sub for this anime. I watched dub for most of it, and it was incredibly taxing on my soul.

  Design/Animation: 5/5

  The action scenes are beautifully done. All of the attacks shown in this anime are beautiful, and I cherished every single action scene that came along. They were extrodinary to watch. As for character design, I thought all the characters looked really great. I especially liked the designs of the goddesses. (No, not for lewd reasons.)

  SFX/OST: 5/5

  The sound effects for action scenes were really well done. The only real music in this anime are the intro and outro, which definetly didn't dissapoint. The intro is kind of a bop, not gonna lie.

  Overall Enjoyment: 5/5

  I really, really enjoyed watching this anime. It was exciting to see how the characters grew and developed over time, and every episode was just so exciting and left me wanting more.

  Reccomendation: 4/5

  Honestly, it depends on the person. If you're a sucker for isekai and action, definetly. If you want to watch for comedy, I wouldn't reccomend it. I didn't find myself laughing at any of the 'comedic' scenes. If you want an anime to cry about, just wait for the last part. This anime kinda has everything. Comedy, sadness, action, isekai, and even a bit of romance.

  Otro ISEKAI que se suma a los ya muchos que existen, sin embargo y en definitiva no es uno más del montón

  Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore TUEEE Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru
  Otro ISEKAI que se suma a los ya muchos que existen, sin embargo y en definitiva no es uno más del montón, con el argumento de un mundo celestial donde las diosas y dioses son designadas para convocar un héroe de otro mundo y salvar uno de los muchos mundos que existen y el cuales se les fue designado, se logra una gran historia, si a esto sele suma un protagonista tosco apuesto con atributos de héroe que lo ponen muy por encina de la media de los demás héroes y una personalidad diferente a las ya vistas en otros animes de este estilo bajo la premisa de “un hombre extremadamente cauteloso” se logro conseguir una formula rica y a mi manera de verlo muy exitosa.

  Historia: 9/10
  Definitivamente no es una historia 100% original pero dentro de lo ya muy reusado del concepto isekai es una historia refrescante para el género, puedo decir que el personaje principal el héroe, fue para mi algo nuevo y no visto antes, la historia gira en como la característica “extremadamente cauteloso” del personaje tiene mucho que ver para resolver los grandes problemas que se les presentan en cada uno de los capítulos, no obstante ubo espacio para el humor, un muy buen humor y también para el romance, es de por si una historia muy completa capaz de captar la curiosidad y de emocionar al espectador con cada capítulo la fluidez de la misma es muy buena el ritmo al que avanza ala historia no deja vacíos por ir muy rápido mi aburre por ir muy lento, es un ritmo perfectamente balanceado, no pude evitar comparar pequeñas muy pequeñas similitudes con pelicular como “Terminator” y “Doctor Strange”, hay que verlo para saber a que me refiero.

  Características de los personajes: 9/10
  La caracterización es muy buena no es la mejor debido a lo coroto que son 12 capítulos para desarrollar un personaje a profundidad, sin embargo, los dos principales se desarrollaron muy bien son fáciles de identificar y resaltan frente al resto pienso que se cumplió el objetivo.

  Animación y arte: 9/10
  Definitivamente no es el mejor arte ni la mejor animación que e visto pero si es de la mejores, en ningún momento fue un dolor para la vista como algunos animes que e visto hace poco y las escenas de batallas que son las más complicadas de realizar eran muy buenas y había muchos, esto sin contar con el gran esfuerzo de dibujar cada uno de los muchos demonios y personajes secundarios que existen de una manera muy detallada, definitiva muy bueno.

  Disfrute: 10/10
  Me la disfruté al 100%, tuve la fortuna de poder ver la serie acompañado de mi esposa y a ella que no es Fan del anime le encanto, quedo enganchada y se vio los 12 capítulos de corrido a mi lado, trasnochándonos, riendo y al final llorando un poco juntos, en definitiva, disfrute total.

  En general: 9/10
  La recomiendo al 100%, son 12 capítulos llenos de emoción, definitivamente volvería a verla pasados unos años y espero con ansias la segunda temporada.
