    So I tried watching Redo of Healer solely based on someone saying it was too disturbing to watch. As someone who doesn’t normally enjoy any anime someone would describe that way, I still felt compelled to take the challenge.

    The only thing I have previously watched that I’d call truly disturbing was Gantz - and that was awful, but still had a sort of “can’t look away” vibe. (But once was enough.)

    I made it a couple episodes into Redo of Healer and I’m not sure I can go on. The very first episode more or less shows you what happens to side characters (and sometimes main characters) in this world, and it’s just chilling in the malevolence on display from the group in power. The protagonist is on a revenge arc, but despite what was done to him, he’s immediately just as bad or worse than his tormentors were, so he’s impossible to root for, and the story is centered around him.

    I’m not at all certain I’ll be finishing it, and nothing I’ve watched would be as awful for a side character. I’d rather be a common villager in Attack on Titan than any character at all, especially a side character, in Redo of Healer.

      I read most of the manga under a similar premise of “taking the challenge” and it is sad how little it effected me. The plot is just so incredibly shoe horned together. Just the baseline of tge show being “he used his healing to travel back in time” like what? The main character sucks and I don’t think you are supposed to sympathize with him, which was fine enough. But every choice in the narrative is just so laughable. It’s mostly edginess for the sake of edginess in my opinion.
