I really really liked that show, but this one just couldn't match up. CH is kind of similar to Konosuba, but it's totally ruined by one of the most horrible "hero" characters (the titular cautious one) I've ever seen.The show has some Danmachi vibes, with a load of goddess characters. Like Danmachi, the main goddess here is friendly, mostly useless and has her boobs hanging out all the time (I don't know how much of the rest of CH is similar to Danmachi, because I can't remember a lot about it).Visually, it's OK - it never looks especially good and there are a lot of shots where characters look weirdly off-model, but it's never a total mess. The story is about what I expected. There was nothing especially surprising or exciting or amusing, but it was still alright. The whole thing was just spoiled by the hero.I liked the OP and the ED - they've both got good songs and the ED has Ristarte dancing in Love Live-style CG, which looks very cool.Ristarte is a really nice character. She's pretty similar to Aqua from Konosuba, but Ristarte is a bit kinder and more gentle.There are two kids, but they don't really do much (and the dub voice for the boy makes him sound about 40).The hero character was an absolute ass though.I'd misunderstood the idea of the show - I thought the hero would be really nervous and panicked to be in a weird world, so he was overlevelling (like me in most JRPGs). The idea of an overpowered character who's awkward and nervous appealed to me (maybe there's another show that does that!)Unfortunately, he's horrible. He's abusive and racist and willingly kills innocents/destroys towns/just behaves like an absolutely awful person. It's not in an "Oops, I didn't mean to do that lol!" style - he does it on purpose. He's meant to be cautious though!He also repeatedly slaps a woman in one episode - some of those are "self defense", but he also hits her multiple times just to stop her from talking. The only worse hero character I've ever seen in anime is the one in Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero (I guess at least this cautious guy isn't a relentless sex offender). It was hard not to root for the villains most of the time. I'm sure that wasn't intended. I guess we're supposed to find the guy funny, but it really didn't work for me.In the last two episodes, [ISPOILER]there's a sudden effort to paint him as a good guy who was just acting mean - but it's too little, (far) too late[/ISPOILER]. Overall, it's an OK series. With a less repulsive "hero", it would have been pretty good (mostly because of Ristarte), but that guy just drags it down - 4/10</blockquote>
