This show has a lot of things that I do not like, especially with the sexualization of a 12-year-old and 15-year-old, and yet despite that the story and genuine character development are so worthwhile that I still love this show. I hate the elf character so much yet Rudeus overcoming his struggles with his past and Paul's story of struggle are both so amazing that I honestly forget about all of the things that I hate. Plus the animation and fight scenes are just next level. I cannot wait for season two and if you had dropped this show during part one it is worththe finish.
