Ten years ago, "the Gate" appeared and connected the real world with the realm of magic and monsters. To combat these vile beasts, ordinary people received superhuman powers and became known as "Hunters." Twenty-year-old Sung Jin-Woo is one such Hunter, but he is known as the "World's Weakest," owing to his pathetic power compared to even a measly E-Rank. Still, he hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank Gates to pay for his mother's medical bills.

Episode 1:

First of all, I left out the second part of the synopsis above, because it spoils the 2nd episode ... that hasn't been released, LOL. Just searched whether this was another double-release, but no.

As for the first episode, it was much better than expected. While the beginning feels a bit rushed and we're supposed to accept a lot of ridiculous things as a given (I really want to know what conventional weapons are literally useless. If those monsters step through a gate into our world, the laws of physics should dictate that a heavy force should impact them, no matter what. There'd have to be an active magic spell protecting the monsters from our world's weaponry. Very weird choice), the general feeling was pleasantly down-to-earth and with a nice amount of realism - except for the idiot who uses his pregnant wife as a reason FOR going to fight deadly monsters, lol.

Made a thread because this seems to be the #1 hyped anime of the season and it's surely gonna be fun enough. I'm still skeptic of how good it's gonna remain, because from the synopsis, the main character will probably quickly turn into a powerful character. If we get another Kirito, that'd be super bad.

Anyway, this anime season is already leaps better than last.
