Overview

In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he's being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the crotchety spectral sorcerer, Gus. The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know. But one day, Will starts to wonder: "Who am I?" Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway dead man's land, and unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy of the good gods, and 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 everythi…
