Okay I finished watching Radiant and I must say, it wasn't AS bad as everyone was saying it was. But it wasn't all that great either. I think the main problem with the show is the protagonist himself, Seth. The way they've written his character is just so bad. It's like they wanted to make him unlikable? Also, his "growth" is apparently not for viewers to see with their own eyes. It just randomly happens. Like, he just randomly acquired new spells. And the power creep is happening so early on in the show, which is never a good thing.
Actually, on the topic of characters, most of the characters on this show is badly written tbh. Grimm is cool, I like him. Dragunov is great too. These two characters have some depth to them, at least. Even the villain, Hameline had great depth to her. Konrad, the other villain was meh. Ugh I hate Doc is the most one dimensional character on the show and I really dislike him. Melie is salvageable.
Another thing I noticed is, from ep 1 to ep 21, we learned NOTHING about Nemesis. Like, they wasted so much time with certain episodes that it felt like fillers. They could've had two proper arcs in 21 episodes. One relating to the discrimination between humans and sorcerers and the other relating to the Nemesis themselves. The pacing sucks.
Negatives aside, I like the plot of the show and the art is pretty too.
I'd give it a 5.5/10 because it does getting interesting towards the end. But, you'd have to BEAR the beginning bullshit to get to the good part.
I don't know if I'll watch Season 2. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I'm not anticipating it for now.
