Review of The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?
This was one of the first isekai manga I read and when I saw that it was going to become an anime, I was ecstatic. However, the more I watched it, the more disappointed I became each episode. I'm usually one to consume most of the isekai animes since it's just fun to turn my brain off and just watch the main character kick ass. However, when the anime is just so different from the manga, I just can't get myself to like it. Story: I mean it just seemed to jump around everywhere. It was painfully obvious that 12 episodes was not enough tocover everything in the manga and go further. For example, the date between Wendelin and Elize was just so rushed it's crazy. It's a meal and then jewelry.
Art:
I mean what can I say? It just looked like a lot of isekai animes we've had.
Sound:
I don't know I just didn't like it. Furthermore, everything just sounded like it was at 0.75x speed. It annoyed the crap out of me.
Character:
Oh boy, if I could give this a -10, I would. I liked Wendelin in the manga. I think the one part that I remembered in the manga was when he bought the magic stone ring for Elize. He didn't give a shit about the money spent and stated that spending 3 Platinum Coin was nothing (Oh yeah, they also didn't add platinum coins in the anime). It was the butler and Elize who looked shocked in the manga. However, in the anime, the butler didn't give a shit and Elize didn't really seem to have much of a reaction. It was more like Wendelin who seemed more scared about the price. That's when I knew that this Wendelin is completely different from the Wendelin I knew.
