The change in the rules of war caused by a new type of weapon became salvation for humanity or a step in his downfall? Well, something has changed.

    Girls with firearms are very convincing. Seiya Kanie, a complete egoist with exceptional narcissism, understood this once or twice, as soon as shrapnel was loaded next to his beautiful face. But wait, where did the new girl Isuzu Sento, who was recently transferred to this school, get a real musket? And who even invites you on a date in this way, threatening to shoot you if you refuse? Be that as it may, there is nowhere to go, life is more valuable. And the very next day, unexpectedly for himself, Seiya goes on a “date” with a charming, but much stranger girl. However, Isuzu chooses an equally strange place for the meeting - the Amagi amusement park, which has long lost its enormous popularity. A sad sight opens before the guy: a desolate area with attractions that are dying; apathetic mascots and sluggish park employees; a bunch of yawning and indifferent visitors... And instead of happy children's laughter, sounding here and there, there is silence. Obviously, Amagi's problems are through the roof. But why was he, Seiya, brought to this “celebration of life”? After a tour of the park and the hedgehog, it is clear that this is not for the sake of continuing a romantic relationship. Everything falls into place when the guy finds himself in the Manager’s abode, where they explain to him in an accessible and even somewhat piquant manner that the future of the “Magnificent Amagi Park” depends on him.

I can say: they built a good plot! Especially anti-heroes... This bastard really wants *****

Hatred just flows like a stream. From the very beginning I liked the twist that everyone was against him. But then the hero changes and becomes stronger.

The hero is open and kind from the beginning. Then he becomes withdrawn, you really want to empathize with him!

Then someone comes who empathizes with him and understands.

I liked this anime because it conveys what a bad situation he finds himself in, and he needs to survive, show who he really is. This anime has added to my collection best anime and I'm looking forward to it coming out new series. Anyone who watches about the victims can watch this miracle. The spoilers are only for the plot, so you can look at them, but if you want to watch without any explanation, good luck. It will be even more interesting.

I don’t even know why I keep looking. I understand that decomposition is not the most accurate method of criticism, but if we consider each component separately: art direction, plot, characters, setting, direction - all of this is in best case scenario at an average level.
Take the same characters. A classic and unfortunately common example of anime characters being superficial. What does shallow characters mean? This means that you characters there is only an outer shell and the viewer sympathizes not because of some deep background, but simply because the hero is outwardly handsome and sweet, reacts funny to the events happening around him. Yes, in the future in the manga attempts will be made to expand the character of the heroes (mostly minor ones, by the way), but all these maneuvers look like a fifth wheel in a cart, because the impression of the heroes is already complex and it is quite difficult to change it.
The romance in the title is undeniably sweet. You're more likely to be moved by the characters than to empathize with them. But there is no talk of any deep study.
Even all the plot twists are secondary and, in general, were created not to advance the story, but to create some kind of romantic scenes. And the shield of wrath is actually a bold reference/plagiarism from Berserk. Consider it as you wish.

PERSONAL SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT!
THERE ARE SPOILERS!
Such a rapidly developing pace of the title, and I thought that everything would go gradually (from the beginning of pumping them up to the required level, when they can fight the waves equally and quickly), but here..
1) Characters. Yes, some may seem clichéd, but this is far from true. The same one, with his shield (I admire him to be honest), in spite of everything, tries to live not in his own world according to the rules of another world (namely: rudely, cruelly), although his gentleness is indeed within reasonable limits.
2) Peace. Yes, at first I also thought that I had seen something similar somewhere, but my thoughts and composing the world in which Naofumi is located made me immerse myself in what was happening on the screen.
3) Plot. Oh, this is certainly not the first arc of SAO, but the presentation of the story turned out great. These four heroes, their powers and what one of them became... It's funny how. True, I think that the canon is usually three, at least, or there are five and six, but here there are four and... hmm, it’s still interesting.
4) Atmosphere. Music, the sound of swords, sometimes even silence on the screen makes you tense up. And you don’t want to skip the opening at all.
5) Morality. In this title, I really didn’t even think about it, because it’s such a rarity, but still, the people saved by the Shield, despite what they knew about it, were grateful to it and did not despise it at all. Even the other half of the knights returned and got into formation, helping the Shield. Well, at least some moral values ​​in this parallel world not deprived.
6) The level of this title.
I would say that it is second-rate and just an anime for a passerby to kill time, but this would be an understatement, since you become interested in what else will happen to the character. Who will be the last one to survive? Will GG remain in this world and so on, which may well become a reason to continue viewing this creation.
In general, I liked this anime, so I really want to thank the authors, the studio that filmed this title, the voice actor group and, of course, the subs and voice acting! Thank you all very much for the work done!

    Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin, blue-eyed youth in a tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, but our hero has no temple, no priests, all donations fit into a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief works as a handyman, painting advertisements on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-in-cheek Mayu, who worked as a shinki—Yato’s Sacred Weapon—for many years, left her master. And without weapons, the younger god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician; he has to (what a shame!) hide from evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial being anyway?

    One day, a pretty high school girl, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to save some guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” her body and walk on the “other side.” Having met Yato there and recognizing the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live long between worlds. But, having gotten to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally guide the tramp on the right path: first, find a weapon for the unlucky one, then help him earn money, and then, you see, what happens. It’s not for nothing that they say: what a woman wants, God wants!
