What about your thoughts on the other members of the reviewer team?
Yes!!! So sorry for the slow response >.<;;;
This got a bit lengthy, so my response is under the cut!
I really like Stunk!! ‘Brilliant but lazy’ types are always fun in my book. I appreciate how bold and unabashed he is (although he takes it a bit far with poor Meidri). His vaguely hinted-at backstory of being disowned nobility is very interesting as well - maybe we’ll learn the whole story one day, but sometimes these things are better as a mystery.
It’s also just plain refreshing to have a grown man as the main character rather than a teen like in most fantasy shows >.>
Crimvael, AKA Crim! This is a character I enjoy best when he’s acting as a foil for the other Reviewers. I really like the moments where it becomes obvious this angel has a slightly different mindset than the rest (being able to find something nice about every race, or not understanding ‘surface world’ customs.) Extra points for his androgynous form as this follows common angelic lore.
Overall he’s very cute and sweet, but not the type of character I usually gravitate towards.
To be honest, Kanchal isn’t the sort of character I enjoy very much... but it’s important to show a wide variety of personality types to go along with strong world building, and his seedy nature is very in line with his thief occupation. He’s not a bad guy though - he does a lot of behind-the-scenes work to turn a profit for his friends and I like seeing them interact, but he’s just no my cup of tea.
There seems to be a running gag depicting his race as sadists, as the Halfling succugirl Piltia was all too happy to give Kanchal a taste of his own medicine.
Hmm, Brooz... I don’t really have many feelings towards him one way or the other. His subdued personality adds good variety to the main cast however, and I’ve always liked the inclusion of beastmen in fantasy. He seems quite picky going off his reviews, which stems from various compatibility issues brought on by his race - I really like how much attention is given to this.
I think he’d be fun to see in action on proper missions now and then!
Something of a secondary reviewer, here’s Narugami! I think snakes are lovely in real life, but I can’t say Lamias do much for me in particular. As a character I Iiked how big a gap there was between his and the main reviewers’ tastes. Another great example of the differences between these many species.
He's having a chill time in his own egg-eating, bird-squeezing, orgy-wanting way.
Special guest reviewer, Samtahn!! Interestingly, this guy’s appearance is very similar to the Demon Lord Death Abyss - I wonder if there’s a connection? His clothing is rather modern compared to most of the cast and he harbors distrust for his own kind, so I’m curious. His manner of speech and writing style had a very classy feel to it which I also liked a lot.
I’d love for him to have more interactions with the gang in the future, but as a demon he might have difficulties being around Crim.
The party’s forest guide Lulu also served as a guest reviewer! Nothing comes to mind except... he 100% looks like the kind of character that’d normally be the heroic party’s wholesome mascot. Definitely dresses like the typical fairy of modern western kids’ stories. A pretty average fella all-round.
I appreciate the show’s blatant reversal of such cute and innocent stereotypes by showing us that despite appearances, he’s just as open to getting some action as our main reviewers.
Last on the list is Count Delivel. Despite his somber demeanor befitting of classic vampire tales, he's a cool guy. Well, he must be if Zel is friendly with him. More than the character himself, I liked the little interactions he had with the elf as someone closer to his age. I wonder what the companions from 30 years ago were like...
And if this is the vampire we got to see in their world, does that mean Count Dracula was a case of someone getting reverse-isekaied to our plain human world??
I think that’s just about everyone!! I decided to omit reviewers from other groups or solitary ones like the Incubus Lord, as my love can only be spread so thin.
Hope some folks enjoyed the read ^///^;;
