The Faraway Paladin
In a ruined necropolis, long isolated from the living world, a lone human child named Will is raised by three undead guardians: Blood, a hearty skeletal warrior; Mary, a graceful mummified priestess; and Gus, a crotchety spectral sorcerer. They pour love into the boy and pass along all they know. Yet Will begins to wonder, “Who am I?” He must unravel the mysteries of this distant dead realm and unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He will learn the love and mercy of the good gods, and confront the bigotry and madness of the bad. And when he knows it all, the boy will take his first step on the path to becoming a Paladin.

The Faraway Paladin has its three first episodes explain to you the deep lore of this world, why you should care about it and how amazing it can be. Then it becomes a disaster, it destroys any possible interest you could have with the world and characters, the scenarios from beautiful landscapes get degraded to gray and brown uninspired blocks of dirt that stay for far too long as if trying to steal time from your life. The animation becomes this PowerPoint slideshow with slow uninspired battles that drag for far too long. And when he's not fighting, he is being a little wimp about everything. When you spend most of the time trying to not fall asleep you know it's complete garbage. I would never recommend this show to anyone that values their time. 2/10 If you need pills to sleep instead watch this, it will do the trick.
