  Chit chat, prattle, babble, tittle tattle, yakking, Oh boy! I haven't heard conversation so tedious, monotonous and insipid in a long time... I tried my hardest to finish this challenge, and thanks to God "episode 9" came along which gave me the strength to carry on until it's lackluster consummation. This ninth episode was a meagre glimpse of the type of show it could have been if it stuck to what it said in the title. All in all, Saikyou Tank is an uninspiring, unstimulating mishmash of sheer poppycock, which ends up completely disrespecting the general anime fantasy experience you've grown to love. You know what? It could have been fine if he soaked up damage in the dungeon for 12 episodes in pure bliss. Unfortunately, the writers/directors fancied themselves capable of writing decent non-combat character interaction, one look at it's current average score will show you how well that went.

  I'll summarize the show's drawbacks.

  • It's boring.
  • MC is insufferable
  • Main cast is insufferable
  • Side cast are literally NPCs
  • They add mobile game gacha mechanics unironically.
  • Dungeons are just barebones and boring.
  • Too much explored in 12 episodes, but it's all surface level so nothing is memorable.
  • His party is his harem.....
  • The pacing is awful.
  • Zero tension.

  The name's __RUD__ R for Retarded U for Uninspired D for defense? No I mean Dense. MC sucks, he's terrible, not believable, not tank enough. He's teetering on self-insert territory with how much of a pushover he is. He has no true autonomy, no frame of reference. He's a slobbering mutt serving anything in a skirt and responding to requests of vanquishing monsters for people. He charges into every situation headfirst with zero planning and ends up winning because of plot-armor and inventing new powers which break the rules. The moment tension arrives induce Deus Ex Machina and the day is saved. Depth? In the Dungeon perhaps, but with the MC we're performing on B-flat.

  ---

  I will split the show into two sections which summarize the experiences found within my observations. The first section when he's inside a dungeon actually doing what the anime advertises. The second section when he's not doing the stuff in the first section.

  ---

  #__Section One__ This section is it's saving grace. 6/10 at it's best, and a 4/10 at it's worst. Not only is the first section in short supply, it's full of plot contrivances, garbage choreography and having full blown conversations whilst his party members(harem) are two steps from hell. The dungeons themselves are an actual joke, both in their presentation and in the mechanics behind them. Lest we forget those husks, these barely-sentient creatures that inhabit them. These dumb beasts are lead by these pathetic excuses for bosses called "dungeon keepers", a complete letdown. Every dungeon raid is a speed run, he can't wait to get back to wasting our time in soppy, lifeless chitchat with annoying harpies. Another thing is, I'm sick of the complaints about CG this, CG that. There was no CG for anything here and it absolutely sucked, all the non-dungeon keeper fights are forgettable, and poorly conceived. I love my CG however bad it is, at least we spend time fighting hordes of mobs instead of drowning in revoltingly bad dialogue borne from terrible writing.

  Annoying stuff about this first section are:

  • When his fragile allies randomly walk in front of his shield.
  • When he starts a chat in the middle of heated fight.
  • When he's tanking up a storm and his teammates are just watching.
  • When his special move is an offensive move.
  • MC Narrating his pain whilst he's completely fine and we know he will be.
  • When the enemies are utter morons

  ---

  #__Section Two__ The second section deserves maybe a 1/10 at it's worst.

  It consists of:

  • When MC recites to you his motivations
  • When the harem speaks.
  • When the female main cast tries to show character beyond their surface.
  • When he talks to his harem(clan/party).
  • When he's dense for no reason.
  • When the side cast "negotiates" with the MC like drone bots.
  • When he's overly polite, and omnibenevolent because the writer can't manage depicting a realistic person.
  • When he talks and liaises with side cast with the most cookie cutter boring uninspired dialogue.

  Also what's the point of a "harem" if you're too dumb to interpret advances and cues even children could have picked up on. Why have them around if you never end up sleeping with them? What's the point? Why are they even female characters then? Too many female characters reduces the impact and importance of each one with diminishing returns as you add more. Others have said, that this show lacks any depth, they introduce a concept and ideas and then drown you with pointless garbage so nothing ever gets fleshed out and you are frozen in mediocrity.

  Shows like this make me reminisce of brilliant Chinese 3D shows like: https://anilist.co/anime/159599/Fanren-Xiu-Xian-Zhuan-Fanren-Feng-Qi-Tian-Nan-Chongzhi-Ban/ Where the villains and monsters are absolutely terrifying, extremely intelligent and unforgiving. The tension is off the charts, the stakes are real and if you stop to chat you will be obliterated. We wake up from our slumber, thrusted into this living nightmare. This 'Saikyou Tank', the complete opposite, with it's shameless direction where they managed to sneak in the obligatory "Onsen' advert despite the main show being starved of substance. If you're semi-addicted to fantasy experiences like these, trust me this one isn't worth it, I'm a heavy binger and at best I think I barely managed 2 episodes a day almost falling asleep at the end of the 2nd episode. To be honest this show did such wonders for my sleep, I was practically sleeping midday with the sun out.

  Might be a great alternative to sleeping pills....
