No, the anime does get into it. Not as well as the Novels but it does do it. I suspect why you missed it is because the first season really only hits on the first of those things I mentioned. The loneliness. The first episode sets the tone for that part of it.Well that was deep.
I might be missing the bigger picture, but Im quite sure the anime doesn't emphasize on those topics, at least not in S1. Maybe you got those messages since you read the LN.
Still the set up is rather boring. The fact that he has potentially nothing to worry about since he already says "Maybe living here isn't so bad, my real life was shit"... so his "adventures" in that world lack any kind of drive, I dont feel like following his story just because he's cool and gets everything he wants.
I cannot relate to him in any way and much less to the NPCs, which are total stereotypes of anime without life or even identity. They will probably get it, I can see that... but I cannot wait 3 seasons for that to happen if you know what Im saying.
And yet you made me consider trying S2, maybe not now, but I'll give it a shot one day.![]()
Most of the rest of it is explored in future seasons.
