English Dub Review: How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom “Gargling and Hand Washing Are the Basis of Disease Prevention”

Overview:

Refugees are one of modern society’s great challenges, and the Kingdom of Friedonia is no exception. Refugees who had been driven from their lands by invading monsters have gathered outside the walls of the capital and started an encampment.

Our Take:

I know what you’re thinking, based on my tag I probably didn’t like this episode. But you’d be wrong! I actually did! But I also understand most people might be tired of the way this show has handled things lately. It has gotten a bit wordy with explaining things that we already know about from Souma’s world. I do kind of like seeing how people in this world react to the stuff though but maybe that’s just me.

If I am understanding what is being said then I think that there might be more action in the series later. Souma is learning martial arts from an instructor and has to put them into use here. A lot of the reasons action doesn’t come to much in the story is because Souma isn’t much of a fighter so where would he fit in? But with him learning how to fight I imagine that will change soon. I actually hope this gets a second season but who knows, we’ll see.
