If the title wasn't explanatory enough, well I review anime. I take the time to write a detailed critique regarding each anime I've seen and publish them here when I'm done.

Plot: 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.
When all of the stronger candidates join together, those left behind must create a party together to survive: Manato, a charismatic leader and priest; Haruhiro, a nervous thief; Yume, a cheerful hunter; Shihoru, a shy mage; Mogzo, a kind warrior; and Ranta, a rowdy dark knight. Despite its resemblance to one, this is no game-there are no redos or respawns; it is kill or be killed.
It is now up to this ragtag group of unlikely fighters to survive together in a world where life and death are separated only by a fine line.

Personal rating: 9/10
Opinion: Hai to Gensou no Grimgar was a relativity new and amazing fantasy anime. Finally an anime where the main characters actually struggle to fight things! This anime took realism elements, mixed them into a fantasy world and was able to continue with a great show even then. The characters aren't Over powered as seen in SAO, But actually had to work at their swordsmanship as the show progressed. I loved this element! There wasn't as much romance as the show silently implied, but it really was amazing! The first season left fans, myself included craving a second season.
