what happened with the story of talk to the last dungeon is it a bad fantasy anime
so tons of last dungeon just finished airing so we can talk about and discuss the contents
of the show so if you have plans to watch it in the future this will be your only spoiler warning
but do keep in mind i don't think this anime is really worth the trouble
for most people if you feel you have the free time to watch the anime then by all means watch it
but in this video we're going to be discussing what happened to the story of todd's blast dungeon
or complain of a lack of a story tattoo last dungeon has currently 10 volumes of light
novel and six volumes of the manga the anime only covers the first five volumes to probably use the
next five volumes for season two the story starts out as advertised after the heroes of legend save
the world from danger they isolated themselves to live in peace in a village named coulon they
agreed not to get involved in the wars of humanity and they would only be aiding the world again from
a calamity or a demon lord the protagonist of tata palace dungeon is not the strongest among
this village of heroes but one of the weaker ones lloyd's goal is to go to the capital to become a
soldier like the stories he's heard of when he was a child the point of the story is that because of
lloyd's upbringing he looks at himself as a weak individual but in fact he's one of the strongest
humans outside of the village so monsters to everyone else are nothing but bugs to him
ancient and infinitely strong magic to everyone else are nothing but clean products to him loy
doesn't have common sense and has a warp view of strength lloyd because of this comes across as
timid doubtful of his own abilities lloyd first meets marie the witch of the west a store owner
who does task for payment giving a tough persona to only be crushed by alka loy's village chief
and his former master from here marie acts as a roommate slash on figure to lloyd as he's trying
to become a soldier next we see celine the cursed belt princess and alan the rich noble jerk type
after he saves celine from a monster he uses some of his ancient magic on her belt just to try and
clean it up but he ultimately frees her from a curse causing her to develop feelings for lloyd
next we see rio a hot mercenary thief that only cares about money she sees his immense
potential and power melphon chrome and colin are all his commanding officers that round out
the rest of the cast as a fantasy anime i feel it can be a bit tough to stick out in terms of
writing because of its high difficulty to exactly reinvent the wheel and as much as it's fun to see
characters react more or less the same way to the same thing fantasy animes can really be boring
if not made properly and that's why these types of animes become either musho tensei's
or hachi seventh reincarnated slime or grace of god zero ishkai cheat magician and the list goes
on and on the point is it's extremely hard to write a great fantasy anime every episode has
to be packed and have a meaningful purpose behind them most first episodes start out
great and generally acceptable but shows start to really unravel by the 4 to 10 episode mark
and fans quickly see which direction the show is actually heading story direction basically
we'll be talking about where the anime went wrong and generally the things that i didn't like about
the anime the inconsistent logic at times really was a hindrance this really being who can sense
power levels and who can in other shows this is almost like a bloodlust or the intent to kill
but this isn't every show the way this usually works is that fighters can send other fighters but
regular human beings don't see a difference the thing is it's a bit weird riho is the first one to
actually sense his power followed by meltfan and chrome and feely they could all sense his power
but no one else could this would make you believe some logic of only the strong can do this but
that's simply not the case maria is the strongest one there out of all of them and could never sense
power but she can somehow send celine's malice demon lords don't sense power levels either i
assume only the fighters can sense power but only the best fighters can do so at least that's what i
thought but riho really isn't a fighter so i just felt that that even being in the show was just
a bit odd you can just tell by watching lloyd that he has immense power or he's very much
stronger than everybody else around him without having a power scaling or a sensing of power
did it make for sometimes funny comedic relief sure but it really wasn't very useful the main
point of the show is adventure fantasy and comedy but i felt like there was more of a less problem
with each factor the comedy felt boring at times and it wasn't for everyone else the fantasy part
didn't offer very much this being the idea of a weak hero having to take on the world seemed
interesting and the adventure not having any meaning to him but let's quickly get back to the
comedy for a lot of people it just wasn't funny the fact that it's not registered as a comedy on
enemy list shows that what community thinks of his anime the comedy came from running jokes and gags
where we could just simply laugh at the characters themselves and make fun of them it never really
came from the actual dialogue really what was funny about marie was she's being humiliated
by alka to her leaving and then marie coming back making some sly comment about her to her
alcor replies with a curse being sent back on her and it was a never-ending cycle of the anime or
celine being some love crazy yandere and i really did feel like even with the comedy that they were
using it could have worked like say hinamatsuri if they just let the characters you know control the
story more like for example instead of us just following lloyd for a day we could follow alan
where the same thing happens where lloyd solves the problem and alan gets the credit you get to
see allen's real perspective where instead of us just directly laughing at alan for being alan
we laugh at allen's situation and the audience could actually develop sympathy for the character
and down the line it could be used for more development for him if they want
to change him later on for me personally i didn't have much of a problem with the anime
and i had fun watching some of lloyd's everyday stuff but i do understand when people really did
have a problem with the whole comedy cause a lot of pointy anime is i didn't think it was a
comedy personally the fantasy element also felt almost non-existent this was because they were
supposed to create more of a unrealistic anime something we haven't seen before there was nothing
unpredictable or something new about this fantasy and like i said the adventure part was bad this is
because that directly ties into the main character like what adventure is he exactly taking us on
what is his goal if he has a more important goal then it's more important to the audience
he wants to become a soldier but it's not so important that he would never quit to me
it's about how bad does the character actually want it and for me he doesn't cut it for me
and really the tie back into him being a soldier he accomplishes being a soldier very early on
and not really with much effort in other shows it's like a life or death situation
or a semi-dangerous one to where the character has to accomplish the goal but there is no threat
throughout the entirety of the show in the episode 2 he fails his test and he works at a restaurant
and it gave me a very familiar feeling to by grace of god where his adventuring had the same level of
importance to his actual laundry service while i didn't appreciate the disrespect lloyd god i'm not
going to act like i was heavily invested into the character or that he had much of a real importance
the major problem i have with the show though is the villains or really the villain's motives
there are three villains in this case two of them have the sole purpose of becoming villains just to
make lloyd the hero and huge wanted to free all the demon lords so she could rebuild the world
because she's bored i don't know which motive is the dumbest here their motives generally come down
to them being bored living shows simply being the hero that saved the world long long ago but
over time has no real reason to exist like other plot points with other immortal characters he
simply just wants to die which is usually a great archetype for a character another point i have
like why i don't like any of the villains here is the reason to commitment to being a villain my
point being is the villain is serious and people are afraid of them because they know they mean to
do this with a reasoning of why they're doing it the villains here just felt very empty good
villains usually command the screen time and a proper dialogue these villains are an afterthought
it's very lazy throwing him into the last two episodes doesn't do anything for me the audience
by this point knows how it's going to end there's no suspense to him or wonder the villains have no
actual purpose to the show and that's when you get to the point of this show doesn't have a
purpose like the whole reasoning behind the show is that their whole thing is they want
lloyd to become a hero they want lloyd to stop them so he's looked at by the world as a hero
oh wait no a soldier all the messed up things that they've done is for a fake clout basically
them manipulating role abaddon mel fun and all the others that lloyd had to fight which was
not one of the reasons of why i wanted to watch this anime so seeing that just made me feel
betrayed in a way i thought there was going to be actual like reason for them wanting to do this
a real sense to urgency in the plot there was nothing now i had a couple ideas of how i would
actually fix the show in this case lloyd is a strong character that could beat enemies in one
hit therefore isakai one punch man the reason why it's better is obvious they have similarities both
main characters want to pursue a childhood dream and they are the strongest people around where
they differ is the focus most if not half of the episode is focused on new people of the episode
while saitama is messing around doing whatever saitama does the new characters all have some
type of goal that's really meaningful to them only to fight some big strong villain that they could
never possibly defeat in a way the entirety of the show is just them trying to push their limits
but never being able to do so them realizing that they could never obtain what they're trying to get
right here just to have some guy come in and one hit their problems at the last minute you can say
what you want but one punch man has its own type of actual meaning the characters in this anime
have no real goals scratch that they have goals but they all get crossed off or labeled not
important because of lloyd's almost half-hearted goal next is how would we want to fix the company
if we want to go the whole comedy route we can make this the hiramatsuri of isakai this
is honestly something you've seen a couple times before you might be asking yourself
well how do they become a heena mastery of isakai it's honestly not as hard or complicated as you
might think we've seen it a couple of times before actually and by now it's been replicated and been
shown to be more effective than trying to make a one-punch man isakai kanasuba
cautious hero myosama and to a much lesser extent princess connect the main objective of the show
is comedy where they go through their own everyday life while just having being in a fantasy
it's like saying make comedy the fantasy not fantasy the comedy if you're confused don't worry
i was too the point is the reason why kanasuba is funny is because of its just four lovable idiots
doing what they do the reason why cautious hero is funny is because he's disregarding
what everyone else wants him to actually do and my osama mao is having a misunderstanding and
arguments with amelia the entirety of the show these shows could work in any setting and don't
require them to be in a fantasy anime to make them are being found funny tatsuba's whole thing is wow
this kid is really strong that's unexpected it has more to do with his actual physical attribute
and less with the character himself and when it comes down to like i said the other characters
were simply just laughing at them not growing with what happened over the last five minutes it's just
wow she's a yandere that's pretty funny she's doing yandere things that's the whole joke so
characters and reviews i think in general these characters can be judged a little bit too harshly
and that's the same with the actual review of this anime this anime didn't annoy me like it did for
other people maybe that's a bit of my recency bias of or resentment from watching a sister's
all i need anime and before i say anything i know that name i know i i know just hear me out right
now just hear me out for a second and just listen to the summary so if you have not seen the show
a quick summary of the show is it's all about a bunch of young adult writers who are all hanging
out in this apartment together and they're just you know doing weird stuff getting
inspiration from odd places doing their normal day-to-day life and the life of being a writer and
they have a particular scene that i'm trying to mention here
and that scene is about one of the friends getting their manga transformed into an
anime in that process and quickly after he spent so much time trying to make this manga i mean just
to make this anime as successful as it possibly can he's doing social media posts he's making
sure to be in the meeting offices all the time because like i said i don't know why i had to
get into this like online a couple days ago but literally the person who makes the anime is in
the meeting for the actual anime they still have to go and sign off on these episode directions
episodes all right i've already made a video about this but quickly if you didn't know
same thing here he's doing as much as he possibly can to make this anime as successful as it can be
but basically he's watching it for the first time live like everybody else and he's online and he's
seeing his anime being picked apart piece by piece made a joke of from his own online fan group who
know nothing about what he's done to get this far and they don't really give it a chance at all and
because of that i want to tone down some of the harsher critics or harsher critiques of the anime
and if you're like me i didn't have much of a general problem with watching anime but let's
go through the actual list of characters and just talk about them very briefly like i said
the level of importance they gave to him being an adventurer was the same as him just working
at the restaurant it didn't have any importance really at all celine she could actually had a
really good and respectable character arc having a curse belt on her face the entirety of that
being bullied throughout her life because of it and not having her own father respect her
like she would want to be respected she is freed from the so-called curse and this pain
i think this happened a little bit too early on into the anime we didn't get any real art from
her being what she was telling what she is now there's no sense of you knowing this character or
growing with this character there's none of that her character could have been you know her trying
to prove herself her trying to find her trying to be more independent instead you get none of that
and she's just another drooling yandere beast character who just wants the main characters d and
because celine is celine and marie you know like i said being an aunt figure to lloyd and fellow
really coming into the cast very later on to the anime the anime is shipping riho with lloyd and
it's just kind of like that probably should have been celine because of how much they messed up
her character in terms of actual writing her character was how much it's messed up to make
too much of a joke there's no actual development of the character she's not a likable character
in any regard and then there's marie marie was generally fine for the most part but her prom
isn't really her herself it's like it's really because of lloyd because of how they treated her
problem of the demon lord killing her family and it becomes very insignificant in the whole
plot of the anime i it should have been more of a bigger character arc more story driven type of
plot but it really was nothing the thing is with that is sure like i said it could have been like
one punch man he shows up and the whole thing with me when i'm looking at this is generally she still
could have won even without lloyd if she would have had friends in this anime she would have
won earlier on in the anime all she would need is a couple soldiers to go take on the demon lord
because hey she was basically only a little bit weaker than the demon lure when i was watching the
anime so that means you have a couple more capable soldiers that can actually handle themselves some
semi can hold their [ __ ] she would have been fine going against the demon lord pearl plot
just felt very wanky alco not much of a problem it's just she's just the worst version of hestia
and she just felt very cringe watching reho honestly could have been a very decent plot
but left me asking a little bit more questions than me just trying to enjoy like why is it that
the headmaster of the school was able to actually fight in the school competition i've never seen
that before why is she such a jerk in general what exactly is her reasoning for being greedy again
is she like nami she wants to use it for a good cause or she just like nami really likes having
money i i don't know riho just didn't feel like a real complete character even though i felt like
she could have been a complete character i felt like she was probably out of the rest of the group
the next most important character you know but that was kind of by default and not by design
and that's not good and my final thoughts of the anime so as a final thought of the anime
the story is a one out of five the animation is like a 2.5 the sound was a two the characters
were being nice too and overall my enjoyment of watching the anime is like a 2.5 because i
was pretty much easy watching i don't really rate too many animes that poorly so it's kind of like
a given if i were to add everything up and then divide it it would be a two out of five and even
though it's a two out of five on my books i still wouldn't watch this anime again i
would watch maybe like a two minute clip of the anime on youtube and that would be it and here's
something like say show lookalikes you can go watch that i found so from these animes which of
them would you actually consider watching a kenja no mago b hachi the seven c kamitachi or d would
rather just not watch anime at all today i chose d i would rather just not watch anime for today
and i didn't i was actually watching the boys instead of watching anime today pretty good
pretty good series so make your choice a through d that's gonna be for video see you next time
