Drama digest:
The series focuses on Yuusuke Yotsuka, who hates the city of Tokyo, especially the people residing there. It is a story about him waking up in a game world, where he has to complete multiple tasks before returning to normal. This is the second season of the series.
The feel-good factor:
The show seems to lay down some fundamental points throughout both seasons. Though nothing deep has been portrayed about Yuuku’s emotions in the series, He, who hates humans, might be the animated character portrayal of somebody suffering from mental health problems in real life, which is a sensitive issue. Some other areas of the show are creatively thought of, like the Game Master being a strange creature, who speaks only half of the last word of every sentence.
The disappointing factor:
The characters on the show are boring. The series fails to make the whole story worthy and the only exciting aspect is its last episode, where almost everything happens.
In-depth analysis:
Yuusuke Yotsuka is a young man who is rude, selfish, and highly anti-social. He has always hated humans to his very core. He hates being around people or talking to them. All his life, he’s wished for people to disappear. He has no sense of society and likes to hide himself so that he does not have to talk to any person. Even though he has emotions, he likes to portray that he does not. He likes to be a bland personality with creeping depression. One fine day, he’s summoned and mysteriously put into what looks like an ocean but is a game world by a half-faced creature called as the ‘Game Master.’ Him, along with the others the mister had captured, begin to play a series of different games. The rules of the games are if a character dies in a game, they can be respawned within 30 seconds, if even one member of the group is alive at the end. The other people/characters summoned by the creature are Iu Shindo, Kusue Hakozaki, Yuka Yukitate, Keita Torii, and Glenda Carter. All these people can return to their original lives and world after completing the game quest; however, they’ll reach a world where some time has passed since they left.
Star power:
The show’s star can be its protagonist, Yuuku, because even though he’s a hateful, anti-social person who hates humans, he’s traumatized when he kills an actual human in the game. This explains that he is a real human being, having all the emotions but has always sided with the negative ones.
Overall opinion:
The show’s efforts to do something unique and portray real-life situations through an anime are commendable. Though it’s not the best series out there, it has made an effort.
