Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash

A Story of Fire and Ash

I really enjoyed Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash. It's a nice "stuck in a mmo anime" where they focus on the MC and his small group of friends just trying to survive. It's an interesting take on what would happen if you were forced into a strange world and had to figure out how to go about your day.

In Grimgar the main characters have to fight low level monsters trying to scrape enough money together from loot to be able to afford food, clothes, & housing while training to become better at surviving in this new world.

Some people I know feel it might not be action packed enough because of a lot of slow paced scenes but the music and scenery do help out a lot. The slow paced scenes usually bring character development and make the journey a lot more emotional.

This was definitely my favorite anime of the Winter 2016 season.

Another Fantasy in Game Experience

While, I normally really like fantasy world especially in RPG game Anime Themed. This one doesn't really have enough great episodes to make the attract the audiences, on few starter episodes (example 1st, 2nd). The story itself take quite long pace, a bit lack in cool fight action scene as well.
The characters itself is fine, Background and other art is not really bad at all. Maybe you still want to watch it if you still like with the genre.

Overall Rating 7/10 from me~

Short Synopsis :
Fear, survival, instinct. Thrown into a foreign land with nothing but hazy memories and the knowledge of their name, they can feel only these three emotions resonating deep within their souls. A group of strangers is given no other choice than to accept the only paying job in this game-like world—the role of a soldier in the Reserve Army—and eliminate anything that threatens the peace in their new world, Grimgar.
