Quick answer

Premise
In this world, the concept of levels exist. Other than those who live off defeating monsters, most people are only around level 1 to 5. What's more, not just anyone can go out to hunt monsters; it's heavily influenced by one's role anointed by God. There are eight such eligible roles. Warrior. Fighter. Cleric. Magician. Rogue. Merchant. Hunter. Sorcerer. Those blessed with extraordinary power are divided into three types. Royalty. Heroes. Sages. But for the majority of the population, they have no such powers and live by farming or running shops. Towns are developed by those with the weakest role...villagers.
For the powerless villagers going out to hunt monsters is equivalent to committing suicide. But one day, a certain two-year-old child given the role of villager notices something.
Once you defeat a monster... you can earn great wealth.

What to watch for in week one: animation density of episode one (premieres usually peak there — does episode two hold?), how the Brain's Base team handles the first big set piece, and whether the OP/ED give the show a sonic identity beyond the source's existing fan signaling.
Slot it for the first three episodes. If the production's holding by week three, you've got a season-runner.
