Shinchou Yuusha — First Impressions

Ristarte has only two facial expressions when looking at Seiya. Horny:

Ooh, six-pack

and disgusted when having to deal with his personality:

Ristarte responding to something outrageous Seiya said

Both are understandable, because while Seiya is fine, his personality is warped, overtly cautious and paranoid, convinced everybody is out to get him. The kind of man who’d buy three suits of armour: one to use, one for back up, one as back up for the back up. Yet his stats looked so good when Ristarte — a Healing Goddess who had gotten the responsibility of freeing a super hard mode world from the forces of darkness — chose him as her hero. That turned out to be a mistake, as the first thing Seira did when summoned was to spent weeks and most of the episode doing push ups to level up. Nevertheless she’s stuck with him and together they have to rid their new world of the demon lord.

As you may have guessed Shinchou Yuusha – Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru (Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious) is yet another isekai/trapped in fantasyland anime, with a bit of a Konosuba flavour as both our protagonists are idiots, though Seira moreso than Ristarte. I like having her as the point of view character rather than Seira. Her expressions are great too, both horny and disgusted. This was a solid first episode, I hope it keeps up.
