Review of Redo of Healer

This series was an interesting experience. While the plot was nothing special, it's interesting to see a world in which both the protagonist and the people they're fighting are morally corrupt. What I enjoyed most was the food for thought. It was fun to contemplate how violence affects people, and who is deserving of what and who is innocent. However, the series only presented these themes, and did not explore it properly. Perhaps this could have been achieved had the protagonist actually face problems, and not simply just solve every problem presented. Likewise, their character arc was... weak. Obviously the most infamous part of this animewas the revenge scenes. Yes, they were brutal, and f*cked up, but that was the whole point. What happened was simply the result of a destroyed moral compass, so if you don't like that kind of thing then this series is just not for you. They were creative, but, again, as the series progressed they got increasingly creative while the whole anime descended into trash tier. If felt less and less like an exploration of morality and more like an edgy hentai, I suppose.

Another confusing area of this anime is the girls. They suffer from same-face syndrome (which is rather ironic, if you know what I mean), and they all blindly adore Kaguya. Sometimes it felt frightening to see them blindly love and be manipulated by him, and you genuinely feared for them a times. But, at the same time, they were all so happy and adorable and... I'm very confused. Perhaps I'm the morally corrupt one here.

Finally, the music was A-tier. The soundtrack is mainly symphonic metal, which is an underrated genre I love. Meanwhile, the ending song was an absolute banger.

So, over all, this is trash, but salvageable trash. It made me ask questions, but at the end of the day it's still your generic edgy fantasy anime with a clumsy plot and poorly developed characters.
