Loved the idea of a Isekai with the protagonist who actually had to struggle, however "8th Son" failed to deliver even on that.
Inside the first couple episodes he's blessed with godly powers and by the fourth has the start of his harem which made it clear this was going to be the typical trope filled anime.
Dialog is flat (Sub & Dub), characters are not interesting enough to invest in emotionally, the animation though consistent feels empty and lacking "flair".
The final story arc could have brought something interesting back into a disappointing entry into the Isekai genre, but even that ultimately failed as well.
It's not "bad", just lacking character and boring.
Pros:
Cons:
