It feels like how Shield-Hero could have been.
Go uncensored or do not watch, but warned we did not get lesbian stuff yet (well indirecly in ep 3) ... but most of everything else.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Episode 3:
Well, waiting for the uncensored version backfired, there was only male-abuse this time xD
Good episode, though. It really shows how despicable those that Keyaru punishes are. Honestly, I can't even think of a proper punishment against the heinous shit they did to him. Rape is not enough ,lol. I don't know ... cut their legs and arms off slice by slice and use heal so they dont die. that way they'll have to experience excruciating pain over and over again. At the end, sell them to some pervert who's into #amputee.
This anime is fun to watch and those who complain and are still watching are idiots.
Btw I wonder if he'll fuck the wolf girl. She didn't abuse him, so unless Keyaru goes full-villain, he shouldn't harm her. Although it seemed like she'll like him on her own account. And then there's the fact ... that this is a world where slavery is normal. This was one of those half-assed things in Shield Hero: Slaves exist, but everybody acts friendly to each other. A world that allows slavery should be less friendly, especially towards the slaves. So in that context, Keyaru wouldn't necessarily become a villain by abusing the wolf girl, he'd just do as the Romans do.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Just prediction based on everything that happened so far.
Peace.
Oh, my...
I forgot or didn't read this far, but the sheer abuse (and frequency of it) on display is comical at this point. How can so much bad happen to one healer? The villains don't have much depth, but maybe that'll change.
Building a harem the old-fashioned way, eh?
Then again, it might just be the first time that an anime depicts a world where slavery exists truthfully. Because Keyaru wasn't much more than a sex slave to them, and once that's established, everyone else just goes along with it.
Compare this to SHield Hero, where slaves also supposedly exist, but then later on some villain is vilified for ... having several slaves and abusing them. Well duh, what did anyone expect, right?

Well, historically, not all slavery has been the way it is understood by the majority of contemporary society.
It has often been, in antiquity, more of a caste style arrangement where masters actually considered their slaves (lower) household members, even treating them like family and they could exercise great personal freedom. The American flavor is the one most rooted in 'racism', and that is what most people think of when they think 'slavery'.
My point is that plenty of 'softer' slavery depictions (in anime) aren't inherently wrong or disingenuous in their presentation (by chance, I would wager), as plenty of slaves throughout history have been able to live decent/fulfilling lives. I'm not defending the practice, but it was fueled by more than simply hatred and therefor did not result in a majority of slaves having their genitals stepped on after performing oral satisfaction or other routine abuse as seen here. That's why it is comical to me.
I also think that the sheer frequency of MCs abuse (especially the moment where he went from tent 1 to tent 2 and got raped 3 times in the process) is just ridicilous and actually probably not even the best way to tell his story.
Kinda would make more sense to limit the scenes to one person - basically the scenes including his next target for revenge.
Right now, it turns into noise. The villains are boring, they are just "bad guys and sick". Would've been much better if they'd actually focus on the lesbian for 5 minutes instead of showing 5 minutes of abuse from 3 different characters.
But oooh well, I doubt the author would be capable of writing/showing anything significant in that regard in the first place. So he kept it simple.
edit: not saying I could do any/much better btw.

Episode 4:
Of course, this week I watch the censored version when it would have been beneficial to wait for uncensored ;>
But I don't get it. Keyaru made her stronger, that much is a fact, right? So does he truly have some power up-semen or was the whole sex act just him bullshitting Setsuna? If it was bs, why did she get stronger?
Honestly, I don't understand why he fucked her to begin with lol. Was he just horny? If he had been slightly more patient, she probably would have begged him to fuck her from her own account. "Oh, you saved my village. You made me stronger. Please, let me stay by your side. And ... *blushes*", yada yada.
That was the first incident where I felt like watching a villain.

Not much more than revenge and titillations this episode. At least there is some real opposition now in that the King is sanctioning action against the healer. I guess it was only a matter of time for them to piece together that the knight captain wasn't the healer.
The target has moved away from individualistic targets to the entire country? That is more interesting indeed than all of the hate toward the cardboard cutout villains the hero party seems comprised of. Healer even entertains the idea that those that harmed him might themselves have had the opportunity to be decent people if not for the corrupting influence of this country itself. Its not much, but I'll take what I can get from this show, narratively.
EPISODE 6:
Funnily enough, even though the animation didn't hold up. That fighting scene was more entertaining to watch than what I got out of season 2 (the one with the fox-girl) DanMachi for example.
Episode 12:
An enjoyable anime.
Just a straight forward revenge story with the most beautiful nipples Ive ever seen in either anime or hentai.
I guess there wont be a second season, but since most girls got banged by Keyaru, thats not so important.
The death of Hawkeye was a bit shocking, like, one second he's talking all high and mighty, next second, he turns into a cloud of blood and flesh. ugh

I came across an interview with the author. Dunno if that fox costume enhanced his expressiveness.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
..... and here I was hoping a season 2 got announced.
