I only recently started watching this show, obviously aware of the immense hype and praise it's received. Although the animation is spectacular, the storyline and main protagonist are so lacklustre. Is there really ANY tension in the entire show? Not really. SJW *always* wins, except when he first died. Sure they make it seem a tiny bit hard, but he *always* pulls it out of the bag even when narration and he himself have made it clear the opponent is stronger. Once he gets his shadow army, it gets even more ridiculous and pointless. He even gets to keep on adding the most unbeatable monsters (except by him) to fight on his behalf. The issue is not just that this guy is unbeatable at this point. It's that the other characters, even the SRank hunters that the show tries to hype up, are useless in comparison. We don't follow their story and barely know them, so when the show kills them off in order to tell us "hey it's really high emotional stakes!" There's very little actual meaning. The only one we really follow is essentially someone who can't lose! Like in the supposedly climatic Jeju arc - I literally had no doubt that the supposedly insanely strong group going in would fail/die, until SJW saves the day. Solo. How boring is this? I also dislike how the show doesn't weigh any sort of discussion about the rights of the monsters being massacred, even though they show many of them being a) sentient and b) attacking not out of their own volition. The only time SJW (and therefore viewers) get to acknowledge that the monsters may deserve to live is when one 'turns out' to be humanoid...and female.
