I couldn’t make it through Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time. I wanted to punch the MC in the face, every time he talked.

@ramsey You mean the "Slavery is good, actually" isn't actually good? 🫥
That they used those lines really irked me.
I had to take a break after the first few episodes before being able to finish it. They do get around to making the point that any slavery is bad but only after several more obvious miscommunications and still includes problematic bits.
@zimzat Aside from the slavery aspects, I just found it utterly boring. I made it 5 or 6 episodes before giving up. Does it get more interesting?
IMO, Takumi seems like a kind of Gary Sue (i.e., Mary Sue).
@ramsey
"Gary Sue" is an interesting term. That connotation describes most harem-adjacent anime, and there's a lot of them. I was thinking of them as junk food in anime form.
> Does it get more interesting?
Not really; it ties up the thread involving the "Heroes" with a brief eventual encountered but there's almost no challenge to the MC. Instead he gets more freebies thrown at him "thanks to the goddess' blessing".
@zimzat They are “junk food,” but I really enjoy some of them, which I guess is why junk food exists. Still, I at least want interesting characters. 😉
