We follow a main character who’s somehow leading one of the strongest groups around… even though he clearly doesn’t want to be there. What really works is the contrast between how everyone sees him and what’s actually going on. That misunderstanding carries the entire show and makes it way more entertaining than it should be. As things go on, more characters get introduced, the world opens up a bit, and the chaos just keeps building. It’s not taking itself too seriously, and that’s exactly why it works. This is one I had a really good time with. 🎧⭐ New episodes drop weekly — follow along as I recap and review anime one arc at a time.","meta_description":"In this episode of After Hours Arc , I get into Let This Grieving Soul Retire — and this one ended up being way more fun than I expected.
