Look, I get it. Some folks think Arifureta is... well, flawed. But hear me out! The whole "zero-to-hero" thing is just so darn appealing.
Must Read
Who doesn't love watching a weakling suddenly become the ultimate badass? It's wish fulfillment at its finest.
Similar Vibes, Different Worlds
If you're like me and craving more of that underdog-turned-overlord goodness, here are a few anime that scratch that Arifureta itch.
Prepare for some potentially controversial opinions. You've been warned.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Rimuru starts as...a slime. Not exactly intimidating, right? Wrong! This show delivers the same "weak-to-strongest" power fantasy we all love. And honestly, who wouldn't want to be a slime with amazing abilities?
Shield Hero
Shield Hero has the same betrayed-and-seeking-revenge energy. Plus, the main character Naofumi is seriously underrated! He builds his strength in unconventional ways. Talk about resourcefulness!
It's also got some interesting ethical questions baked in, which is a nice bonus.
Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious
This one is pure comedy gold. Cautious Hero is isekai meets parody. The main character is OP, but he's also the most paranoid hero ever. It's hilarious to see his extreme caution in action.
Think of it as Arifureta with a huge dose of self-aware humor.
The Rising of the Shield Hero
The MC start at zero? Check. Betrayed by everyone? Check. Becomes incredibly powerful out of spite and sheer will? Double check! The Rising of the Shield Hero follows Naofumi. His journey to becoming the strongest is fueled by injustice and a whole lot of determination.
Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!
Okay, this one is a bit different. The main character wants to be average but ends up being anything but. It's a fun twist on the overpowered protagonist trope. Plus, the humor is on point!
Embrace the Power Fantasy!
Look, nobody's saying these anime are high art. But sometimes, you just need a good power fantasy. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a show where someone becomes the ultimate being, no matter the critics are saying.
And if that anime happens to be reminiscent of Arifureta, then all the better! So go forth and enjoy those overpowered protagonists!
Don't let anyone shame you for your guilty pleasures! Happy watching!
Maybe Arifureta isn't the best anime out there, but it sure is fun. And that's what matters, right? Don’t be shy, share what is your favorite anime with a similar story like Arifureta!
