What is Arifureta about?
The anime is an isekai-adventure series centered around Hajime Nagumo, who is transported into a fantasy world alongside his whole class. Unfortunately, Nagumo is the only one who possesses a power that is not suitable for fighting, which causes him to be left behind in battle.
One day, while battling a monster, Nagumo is pushed off a bridge and falls into the depths of the dungeon. When he wakes up, he survives by eating monsters to get stronger, only to return to his classmates one day. However, with the dungeon lurking with dangerous beasts, will Nagumo survive the merciless dungeon?
