Review of Redo of Healer

Revenge... For many, something good, necessary, a measure that has to be taken, with the objective of improving their reputation and dignity after being betrayed, scolded, hurt. For others, something that should not consume a person's essence, nonsense, since when he takes revenge on someone, the victim becomes as repulsive as the aggressor. Well, 12 episodes were more than enough to decide what Keyaru has become: a boy who, at the beginning, wants to take revenge for maintaining a minimum of dignity, but who has absorbed a possession and an excessive addiction to rotten, horrible and sick. Honestly, talking about Kaifuku will be difficult, since thereis not much to discuss. We'll start with the protagonist, Keyaru. He is a young man, who has been blessed with an incalculable power throughout the universe of history: the ability to heal immense and even fatal damage from other heroes and warriors in the Kingdom of Jioral. However, Keyaru is constantly abused by the inhabitants who struggle to defend the place. The main group, Bullet, Blade and Flare, is the one that most abuses the protagonist, from cursing to sexual acts. "Keyaru is a young man who must not suffer, he has done nothing... He does not deserve this." Well, if Kaifuku was a show that, due to its proposal, was suited to the minimum qualities of positively developing the protagonist, I could accept this argument. However, everything, absolutely EVERYTHING is degraded as the episodes pass. Well, Keyaru finally gets a power that makes him go back to the past (parallel world? Possibly, but Kaifuku doesn't care about that) and can rebuild his life, taking revenge on his molesters.

And how to take revenge on horrendous people, with no humanity at heart? The answer is simple for Keyaru, ladies and gentlemen, treating him the same way he was abused. Here we already have a problem, perhaps the biggest problem for the entire show. The anime does not hide that the protagonist is sick and further intensifies it in order to treat what he does as something normal. Okay, it would be understandable if these acts were only used against those who molested him a second time, in this "second world", before Keyaru gained resistance to one of the drugs offered by our sweet and beloved Princesses Flare. But no, as much as Keyaru has this objective of only punishing those who deserve it, he is completely lost. After doing what he did to Flare, in addition to faking her death, Keyaru isolates himself in a suburban city, erasing Flare's memories, in addition to changing her name.

In addition to being completely edgy, Keyaru has a multitude of peculiarities that defy his own disturbing mentality. The protagonist ironically conflicts with the reasons why he is doing the evil actions. At the same time that he repudiates the violence of the Jioral warriors, who arrest the people of the village of Keyaru, he is saddened, as an appealing way of possessing some boast and decency. That's right! One action of a kingdom is enough, according to the anime, to soften, justify and trivialize the actions of our eternal protagonist. It is not as if this is not something socially "accepted". In fact, ancient peoples already used some legislation to punish and nullify crimes. The Hammurabi Code and the "Eye for an eye" law are two of the many instruments that founded the infinite rules of morals and ethics in our world. However, it is poorly used in Kaifuku. In these instruments of inspection of the order of society, the intervener is the leader of the kingdom or the city itself. However, Keyaru takes responsibility for himself, as a legitimate defense and being solely responsible for this "adequacy of society". Keyaru himself assumes himself as a good character, a reference, someone to follow, as if he were a God. This kind of mentality degrades not only him, but his actions. It is understandable to see him attempting his redemption in some way, but does it need to be the same as the warriors did? He reset the world, was chosen again to be a hero in Jioral, defied his own sanity and promoted his "victory". The show also tries to alternate the protagonist's thoughts and ideals, when the people of his native village are taken to the kingdom as a way of attracting Keyaru. Furthermore, the woman who took care of Keyaru, being like a mother to him, is (OF COURSE) raped.

If Kaifuku was decent, even a change of face would be easily accepted, but no... not in Kaifuku. What Keyaru does doesn’t change Flare’s look practically, and it already puts the entire anime in a state of meaningless garbage. How can Keyaru just change his name to "Keyaruga", Flare become "Freia" and say "It's okay, no one will notice."? Any idiot would easily realize that he had changed nothing, literally nothing, of the two. TNK Studio is not to blame, it comes from the manga, when he gave more accurate illustrations about the characters. It is not possible that nobody warned Souken Haga, the manga's illustrator, to change the look more radically. And that is one of the minimum problems. Kaifuku doesn't stop there...

What to talk about the development of the group that Keyaru builds over time? Well, Setsuna, Crylet and Eve Reese are the other girls in this disgusting harem. Each with its goals, of course, has no way for Keyaru to achieve its ambitions without them. Setsuna is an ice wolf, who wants to annihilate those who almost wiped out her race people; Crylet is a warrior from the Kingdom of Jioral who surrenders to Keyaru having recovered his arm after an incident, even at the beginning of the anime: Eve Reese is a demon who aims to become her People's Leader. All of them, in some way, have their reasons for relating to Keyaru, but the show leaves that aside. The anime wants to show sex... And more sex... And more sex... Yes, Kaifuku only knows how to identify this as a reason to continue his productions. In addition to having completely horrible flashbacks of Keyaru being raped and taking revenge on some characters, the group he finds himself in does not stop surrendering to the "best anime protagonist". The reason? Well, in most cases it is a daily routine to increase the maximum level ability in the fantasy world. Yes, they completely missed even that. And the power of Keyaru? Healer? Really? He has an ex-machina power, which does literally everything he wants??? Anything that could be a problem for Keyaru's goals is rendered useless from the moment he has the capacity to do literally EVERYTHING. The fanciful elements are already appealing when Keyaru speaks "Heal" constantly, even more so when the hero's "liquid" is something sacred in this world, a holy chalice. Urgh !! This is really despicable to think about.

"What if Kaifuku was a Hentai? Would it be a good anime for that genre?" ~ Being honest, I would already consider Kaifuku a Hentai, because in addition to designing content with explicit and excessive sex scenes, the show has a very common proposal in anime for adults. In many cases, hentais address topics such as rape, mind break, blackmail, threats, ahegao and other techniques of intensity, with the aim of promoting libidinous action to those who assist. Kaifuku has all these techniques mentioned, but it is very difficult to imagine that the theme of the show helps to even be a support for excitement, since it is mainly an anime that assumed to be a story of redemption for a character who suffered a lot. The show sells that idea, we buy it. Some do not like it and give up to continue... Others continue and want to see the level that the show can reach. Unfortunately, the same show that was wrong to be an anime with a good story, was wrong to have ecchi, in addition to making mistakes even if it was, by definition, a hentai. It is really sad, after just over a year, to see another show decaying the minimum quality that some ecchis have already brought. Anyone who remembers Ishuzoku Reviewers knows that his idea is something that makes it easier for the show to have a fun and innovative story. Kaifuku tried to be innovative and, at the same time, wanted to be more than he could. The manga is no different. I remember when I started reading Kaifuku and I remember that I already thought everything the chapters proposed was okay. But today, two years after reading this manga, I seriously rethink the reasons that made me accept such a chaotic evolution of history. The only thing I can positively extract from the entire franchise is just the fact that it was the first manga I read. Of course, I was unaware of how bad it was. I was just a 15/16 year old boy who looked at this and thought it was "cool". Today I just think it's rubbish. A quality that exists only in the synopsis.

And what about your huge production? Well, she is objectively bad. Kaifuku presents an acceptable animation, but absolutely generic (remember, the biggest culprit of this is the manga's illustrator), in addition to a very bad scene composition. The show's director should now rethink having chosen Kaifuku to do his job now. Of course, I think the show must have been turned down countless times and ended up in one of the worst studios today. TNK was never a great promoter of good and decent works (DxD and School Days are enough to exemplify this), now it's Kaifuku. The magnum opus of destruction, chaos misunderstood. A masterpiece from 2021? Maybe... Maybe even Ex-Arm doesn't get over this character deconstruction. Maybe we're crazy...

No more...

This anime does not know how to take advantage of the revenge concepts and is not limited to just narrating... Kaifuku wants to be a hentai in disguise. Well, he did it, now the show has two versions, censored and adult. And what do we have? A horrible adaptation of a manga that was already horrible, of a light novel that is possibly not good either... This is the disaster of 2021 ladies and gentlemen. And I really hope that they have some neurons to understand that, no matter how it gets transmitted. Even though Keyaru has his reasons (which is already stupid, as he might as well do other acts instead of rape rape rape), the show does not hide the hell it is to sit in a chair and watch another video of the week, with a new and disposable episode, as Kaifuku has always been.

It is not just because it is an anime that has different revenge that it is being judged wrongly. It's about reusing a story that seems to be a good one, but constantly misses the initial goals, the World building and the characters, in addition to bringing a disgusting staff. Today, Kaifuku is nothing more than an object of consumption to never be seen again. It is possibly the worst show I have ever seen and this is not an exaggeration on my part, it is a personal manifestation of how it shouldn't exist.Tolerance is something that the author should know, but it seems that he will not be silent in the face of controversies, since this profits his financial balance...

A definite offense... Just that...
Kaifuku must be overlooked.
