Helck might be heavily slept on this season but I’m here to say that it’s legitimately one of this season’s best new anime!

#Helck #HelckEpisode1 #HelckReaction
Now I gotta be honest and this is probably going to be a bold claim for many but this is how I truly feel I think Helk with its first episode which just released today is already one of the strongest shows that you can watch this anime season and this was one that
I had manga readers left and right begging me to watch and I wasn’t expecting it because trailer poster image didn’t really look anything that crazy but I had people saying seriously watch this and I’m not going to talk about like sequels or carryovers if we’re looking at this just as brand new
Anime never been seen before up until this point it goes zom 100 for me and then help I legit feel that strongly right now and it’s hard to put into words what made this first episode so great but almost right away I just felt something solid here and this had a very
Solid production it probably helps that the character designs are fairly basic so it allows for what we see to remain consistent there’s not a lot of complexities there but in general girl watching He-Man punch his way through this tournament I was like okay we got this badass he’s fighting through demons
And somehow this human who is apparently a human hero is loved by these demons as this one girl is freaking out being like bruh you can’t have a tournament where we’re trying to figure out who’s gonna be the next demon lore and have a human beat all of our competitors like this is
Just going to make it so that we don’t have a new ruler after the previous one was defeated but over the course of this episode the humor is solid it’s consistent we go from a battle arena to building a house of cards but by the end they drop some major bomb shelves that
Really has me scratching my head because I was already confused about Hulk as a character cheerful guy seems like he legit hates human if we to if we’re to believe what he’s saying but he seems so cheerful and then they drop the bombshell not gonna lie had to Google
The word but turns out fracture side is uh basically to kill one’s own brother or sister which is apparently What hulk has done which is causes him to be hated in the human world now given how he’s holding on to this picture very cheerful looks like him and his brother were
Chilled together now could he have done it maybe but there’s a lot of questions and they’re blending that interesting story hook with this hilarious Adventure which honestly I can already begin to imagine the back and forth between these two characters one of which being like
Damn it we can’t have a human here who says he hates humans and wants to worship the demons no it just doesn’t make sense as Helk is just cheerful as can be but is an absolute tank I mean there’s a moment in this episode that absolutely sells I think probably a lot
Of people when they’re building their house of cards right you know he’s trying to put two together it keeps falling he’s just I thought he’s about to flip a table he does this big this all the cards for everyone else go away and then he just is like Lightning
McQueen just stacking everything and does a whole deck it’s just this show is fun but it’s got a captivating Central hook so do yourself a favor and go watch episode one if you didn’t already and get back here because we got a lot to discuss now full live reaction to
Episode 1 is available on my patreon if you would like to see my full uncut thoughts of that help greatness it’s over there if you’re interested now like I say this is hands down like my second favorite first episode and Anime that’s brand new now like we’re not talking
About carryovers or sequels like yeah we all know Jujutsu Kai’s and mishuku tensei like we like those for a reason but brand new stuff the stuff that’s really gonna have us talking over the next few months for me personally Hulk is one of those now will this be
Criminally slept on probably I mean these types of shows I feel like unless you have a million Source readers telling someone to like it people just decide not to watch something and that’s why I try my best to get people to try these shows that you might sleep on and
Help I’m not perfect I was good asleep on this one and if it wasn’t for my community pointing me towards the light I probably would have and I’m here to say that this one is truly special now I mean immediately I was just kind of happy to see an interesting character
Design for elk he literally kind of reminds me of He-Man and honestly when you think of Heroes in any sort of fantasy anime do you think of Hulk no you think of kind of like oh it’s like the Kyoto kind of design that’s a lot of
Times what people go for you know it’s just you have that typical formula we work with and they just have this big badass who’s as cheerful as can be and I love the fact that you know this is a very populated environment I mean the Colosseum we see a lot of character
Designs both in the ring and on the sidelines and you have at one point the Easter Bunny who honestly is trying to build this house of cards and he’s like freaking out just cracks me the hell up but just the sheer variety and the it’s complex while keeping it simple and what
I mean is like when you look at any of the characters are they the most overly detailed with a deep color palette no it’s like oh here’s a basic color palette and a basic character design but when you look at Hulk or any of the characters they look good they look
Consistent from one scene to the next and because this I think is supposed to be a two core I think this is supposed to be 24 four episodes if I’m not mistaken when you have something where think of like the like some like you foldable character designs right there’s
A lot of crisp details a lot of like fluid movements but to have something like you know a very complex character design for 24 episode straight that’s when you get into issues if you actually take a look at the final season of Attack on Titan you notice that there’s
New maneuver gear kind of like character designs and everything and those are very complex which cause for some inconsistencies and isiyama the mangaka even felt bad about designing such a complex character design because he knew it would be hard for the anime but when you look at Elk and just the color
Palette and the design because it’s on a more simplistic level they get to really refine it to make it look very good the comedy was awesome I love seeing our girl just blow up at one point this poor animal servant monster has to be a monster fire extinguisher as she burns
The whole damn building down and I like the idea because from her point of view she’s making a hell of a lot of sense we have a human hero fighting our monsters these are supposed to be the next potential future ruler of our kingdom and you have a human kicking everyone’s
Ass he is going to disrupt everything but at every single moment he seems like he’s legit honest I hate humans he says with the biggest smile I love the Demon World this is the greatest and everyone’s eating it up except her and it is really really fun that Dynamic
Hooked me right in I love the production opening man that was heavy and awesome I loved it it had me for almost like a gag style series but then they start seeping in the extra detail talking about how like this man he killed his brother but he’s showing this
Other demon like his photos like he doesn’t look like he killed a brother like what are you talking about and we don’t know we end this episode with seemingly coming in now are they coming to hunt elk are they here to do something I really don’t know but this
Is a truly special show I really feel that now I feel like I I mean this is this is early right this isn’t like the mashuku tensei or the Jujutsu Kaizen so there’s not a lot of people talking about it as I’m recording because I literally watched it as soon as it
Released so I have no idea but my gut tells me that I’m gonna have a mixture of people saying I’m over hyping this or that it was just fine like for them and they just don’t see the appeal and if that’s how people feel go ahead but this
Is how I truly feel and anyone who follows my channel knows that I like to find shows that maybe people either aren’t talking about or maybe they sleep on more than I think they deserve and I know Helk has a passion at manga fan base that’s the entire reason I went out
Of my way to watch this but it doesn’t have the same type of fan base that is going to get everyone to turn something like this mainstream right you know prior to a Jujutsu Kaizen coming out you knew it was going to be mainstream because of the following it had
Previously this I really hope does well because I think based on the first episode things can change this is truly 10 out of 10 special for me and I’m gonna love watching it hopefully the videos do well so I can do it every Tuesday if not it’ll have to become a
Patreon exclusive but I’m just saying at the very least you please don’t disappoint me I’m sick of seeing the my home Heroes of the Season get under watch you gotta watch Hulk I loved it now of course that’s my feelings let’s see if I’m the complete odd one out and
Everyone else just thinks it’s mediocre but that’s how I feel about it right now but let me know what you’re feeling down below leave like if you enjoyed subscribe if you’re new around here of course ring that Bell so you can get notified when I upload more videos to
The channel like I mentioned for live reaction to episode one of Hulk is available on my patreon and if I do stop doing videos on the channel you’ll know where to find it over there if you’re interested in hey while you’re there you also get a video shout out so today we
Have Anthony Barton Cult of Gom dazzling and Archer kunha so I appreciate the support everyone please take care and have a good one

Don't sleep on Helck! For those who watched episode 1 what did you think? Agree with my praise? See my full uncut live reaction to the episode over on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/BrandonReviews
Was ok definitely funny the r18 rating has me sus of a plot twist
I have read the manga on this one 6 or 7 years ago, it is so good that the comedy at the first 10 chapters of it is just a shell of what the actual story really is inside.
Edit: oh by the way, the manga is already completed by the time I first read it.
It's the mystery that has me hooked. At first I was like – looks ehhhh. But by the end, I was like — oooohhh what happened there???? What's this guy's deal?
I loved the first episode. I didn't know what to expect. I'm watching a gentle giant while the animators are setting up some kind of mystery. Meanwhile, I'm laughing my ass off at the flames being generated by manager's frustrations. I can't wait until the next episode. I'll probably hit the manga.
the reason why i started Helck its because of the picture of Helck i saw on the cover just him with a lovely smile and he had such a nice expression on his face thats all i needed to be confinced to watch the serries and i didn't even know this was going to be 24 episodes so Bonus ps still sad that my home hero didn't do too well when i read what it was about i was already intrested but again i do like a good murder mystery story and while my home hero didn't technicly have much mystery but then Tosu mentioned that he was a wrighter of mystery novels another bonus
Funny thing is that I only watched this because you highlighted it in your what will I watch video. No regrets Btw. I am definitely here for this.
Question for your next monthly q& a (and I thought of this after watching this video); do you think that anime 'classics' can develop in this day and age? Not that I think that Helck is one (cuz I dunno anything about it), but I think of shows like Mob Psycho and Id:Invaded for example, because they came out at a time of widespread internet media cosumption, it's a lot easier for shows like that to get overshadowed vs the more stringent pipelines (tv, bootleg video and torrents) of the 90's and 00's.
I really hope you give My Happy Marriage a shot.
The show reminds me alot about Violet Evergarden in its presentation and its arguably one of my favourites this season.
Its soo beautiful, that ppl finally see the GLORY of "HELCK".
HELCK is a fantastic Story, which TRUE Helck Fans wont spoiler. But Everyone who watches HELCK out of sheer interest – Wait until the middle of the Season, when Helck actually becomes STUPIDLY STORY DRIVEN and you LIKE IT 😀
This is also gonna be one of the darker anime this season.
The weight in Helck's Smile in episode 1 is quite heavy.
The moment he said he would annihilate humans broke me.
Helck and Alicia….
Very, very big Yuusha Yamemasu vibes and I love it
the first 10% of this series is hilarious. The rest are emotional roller coaster and one of the saddest series I've ever seen
There is a part that is often overlooked by anime viewers (and manga readers), the Demon Lord here is not a King of demon… in this context they are equivalent to provincial governors or mayor or castle owner.
Anything with Konishi Katsuyuki -> sign me up
Helck positively had me rolling on the floor. I feel this is gonna reach Konosuba levels of comedy.
The animation looks modern but the art style looks a bit retro. I'm very intrigued to see where the show goes.
Thank you for such a positive review!
This series is wonderful!
Take it from a manga reader. =)
Helck is great and its finish another great thing.
Waiting for the Golden Age Arc
Helck really is a hidden gem. The manga itself is not well know and I hope this makes the story more popular. The story isn't what you are expecting… and yet it's the most honest story. The story is at it appears but you still never expect what is to come.
I'm gonna check it out
Surprised you didn't catch on or talk about that small but eerie segment of the infiltrator Asta. Where her mission to gather information on Helck turns into an eerie mystery, where she finds entire towns and villages seemingly empty for no reason. Where a glass of water was on the table but no one to drink, along with fruits that seemed fresh but no one to eat it.
Where it's like people just straight up vanished. While someone well versed in story might have an idea of what happened, the ability to give off the eerie atmosphere and mystery behind it, I believe is truly noteworthy.
I'm just gonna wait for the anime watchers to get to THAT revelation in the anime. They gonna need emotional support.
as a fan of helck, at this point for 5 years: it is soo good and refreshing seeing people react this positively to an anime. real treat.
hope it helps nanao stay afloat and finish all the grand arks she started in volundio, among other things
Damn after watching ep 1, i never slept after finishing the entire manga.
You're not over hyping this. This is the big sleeper hit of this season full stop. And I know you're going to enjoy this.
Those last minute reveals…
…
…
Ominous…
Helck is amazing
the first 2 episodes the voice actress for the female lead is legendary status.
It’s going to make cry once again isn’t it time for round two
It is a 2-cour anime having 106 episodes and having 4,5 chapters per episodes is a fairly good pacing…. it will be a VEERY good ANIME and you will have some FEEL-Reactions promised 🙂
Bruh, I still cry when I think about the manga
Helck was so interesting and fun, that it got me reading the manga (In Japanese) and it is great 😃👍 Can't wait to see this masterpiece animated for 24 episodes.
My guys forearms are bigger than his hands 😭😭
Wait for the backstory of helck and you will understand why Helck is so good
Nice you're covering this! This one's manga is one of my faves <3
I'm actually pretty sad that many people seem to have written Helck off because there is "hero" and "overpowered" in the synopsis. It's at like 7.3 at MAL rn because of that and it deserves to he higher. I'm not saying it's the best anime this year or even this season, but it's not your standard power-fantasy! It's much more profound and the story actually has a point!
Helk is so good, i do think sadly it being on Hidive may be kneecapping it a little
I feel like this went down hill a lot
So I’ve kinda been holding off on Helck because I wasn’t too sure if I’d like it and I’ve seen you make some reviews on it and finally decided okay if your watching it, it must be fairly good and I honestly loved this first episode! I can’t belive I was going to skip this anime
This show is quite a good has really good emotional beats from how the show handles helck losing his friend and how the nobles betrayed him and failed to defeat them and save his friends
I didn't watch the anime but i did read thr MANGA before 2 days holy f tho it's amazing
