Not a bad episode 3/5
This is gonna be a fun anime! but animation not good DEEN needs to get their hands out of their arses
It's very DanMachi like which is not a bad thing
Aqua-chan is nice, I liked her plus was she wearing any pantsu? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well, there was lots of stuff that just looked really weird animation-wise. Add to that that people are used to Kurone's illustrations and it makes the shock for people only bigger

As a comparison:

And yes, illustration work obviously gets butchered a lot in all kinds of animes since you can't spend hours and hours on one picture but Deen being on the lower end of things and Kurone on the higher end of the spectrum doesn't really help.

This was actually pretty enjoyable. Although this being produced by Deen the art and animation is quite bad. I also don't like the MC's voice.

Surprising. I didn't thought I would actually enjoy this much. I didn't expect they would go on unexpected thing like making the MC died of funny death instead of heroic one. Also LOL! HE TOOK THE GODDESS! Oh God. That part made me laugh the most.

This could be better than half of harem anime out there. Especially Bahamut, Rakudai, and Gakusen related anime.

Though you can see the DEEN animation quality, I don't bother much with it, and I'd take it as an addition to the comedy jokes in this anime.

This was a very good/funny episode. I didn't mind the animation at all. I never expect every anime to be drawn to perfection. This looks very promising.

Don't forget the classic harem cliche that he's going to have based on the ED.

Also, RAINBOW PUKE FTW!!!

I guess they thought they could use the same beginning as Yu Yu Hakusho and no one would notice: Teenager that is looked down upon unexpectedly saves someone from being run over and dies in the process. He wakes up dead and finds out that the person he saved would have been fine either way and is then given a second chance at life.
But that's just one opinion.

Very enjoyable show

People hated this before it aired just because it is from studio deen but it turned out to be one of the most entertaining show in this season.

I do agree, the art and animation did look fine for me.

Also, not sure why many people here in MAL spend their time analyzing how the animation look, instead of just enjoying the anime. It is like a gamer who only cares about graphics when playing a video game.

Actually wasn't on my ptw since haremish generic rpg + deen didn't appeal. But 7.77 score is earth shattering for deen.
So VA's were good. Both Kazuma & Aqua were quite funny. Good writing/lines (thx LN probably). The afterlife part developed totally unexpected & some random angel displaced her job lol.
Bg art looks fine. Shimmer from that puddle of pee was... beautiful? Deen derp faces & wild animation actually fit the game parody feel. Good character designs, sometimes drawn weirdly. Montage was great, like completely sidetracked.

This can only hope to be half as good as Danmachi. And Bell can hardly be compared to this dork, since he has skills and combat experience, even if little. And Bell is not as stupid as him.


Bell is probably one of the worst MC's, surpassing Kirito in that aspect as he is about as bland as one can be. At least the MC in this show is actually interesting and isn't handed OP power for free from the get go.

Judging from both this and manga, Kazuma > Bell by a mile and this is coming from someone that doesn't like all these generic looking MCs so no bias here on my part.

From someone who's read up to volume 3 of the light novel, I can honestly say it's not a pick-up women series.

His group is misfits, and so is the goddess he has to put up with. He does meet the Goddess Eris sometime in the future. He believes she acts like gods should. So you see; MISFITS, every last one of them!

I can't wait for him to meet Eris! I hope they pull her off well because she's my favorite character so far; though she doesn't join his party...

Bell isn't either. He has this skill, that accelerates his growth, but he still has to fight to get stronger. Plus, Kazuma could have got a ( op ) power for free, but he was to stupid to choose it, instead he chose the more or less useless goddess. Yeah, I get the getting back at that bitch thing, but he is nevertheless a stupid asshole imo. Long story short: Bell > Kazuma by a light-year.

Choosing a goddess is actually a very appealing choice, given that Kazuma doesn't know that she is a useless bitch. It doesn't matter though because if he was handed OP skills the show wouldn't be what it is.

Bell's skill to accelerate IS the OP skill, its blatently unfair and undermines the crap that the other characters had to go through to get where they are, he didn't deserve such power. He didn't do anything that warrants such a thing, he is basically your basic harem self insert archetype, some dude who gets special power because REASONS. Also he almost a blank state character, you could replace him with anything and the show be the same (main reason he is worst MC).

I also don't know how someone can find an MC appealing just because ZOMGHAXORPOWERS especially when everything else about them is trash.

The anime failed to illustrate the events that occurred at the beginning of the series. She laughed at him, humiliated him, and then tried to rush him out of her office repeatedly, failing to act and/or appear as a Goddess should. In a fit of irritation, while believing; she's a goddess, so she should at least be useful somehow, he chose a GOD who can GIVE HEROES GODLY WEAPONS/ABILITIES over a single bonus. Clearly, he didn't read the disclaimer in universally-fine print: Aqua is useless.

If you're wondering what he was thinking of when he was imagining a goddess, go look at the gods from Campione. I'm guessing he imagined gods to be like ones from there. At worst, he might think of gods like ones from Noragami, Kamisama Hajimemashita, or Kamichu.

At WORST, he was expecting her not to be able to help him physically, with power, or giving him benefits, but thought she'd at least give him beginner gear on transport or even have knowledge of where things are in the world, like a map. Of course she didn't even know or care about that stuff.

Pick-up dungeon Bell's skill to accelerate growth is a generic Hero Character ability. This means it allows him to ignore the system around him and do whatever the hell he pleases. I picture the mid-boss fight of danmachi with Bell putting on sunglasses, saying who the hell do you think I am and summoning a robot the size of multiple universes with spiral power... (not really but you get the picture?)

I have already read 8 light novel volume so I can say that kazuma is not stupid as you thought.Not only that you can say he is a brilliant strategist if you read the manga or light novel.

I lol'd

it clearly is a harem, did you actually watch the show?... dude is pretty much surrounded by chicks and if I remember correctly 4 (and maybe 5) of them wants his D so badly (the big boob loli, the small loli, the dumb blonde and even the antoganist chick and possibly the elf chick too). Read up the definition of a harem show and you know Danmachi fits it PERFECTLY.

Bell literally fits the category of a self insert MC, he is devoid of all personalities and even development as a character (and no getting insane levels due to OP ability does not count as character development).

Yes, I did watch it. And I disagree with it being a harem show and the relationships are not as simple as you make them out to be. But let's stop that here, since this is going nowhere.

Like so many others have pointed out, the art is kind of choppy and distracting. But the comedy makes up for some things. Overall, the show is probably way too light-hearted, but I didn't expect much after picking this one up either.

ED was very energetic :3 Judging by the animation there are 2 more who are going to join their party then they go off into a RPG world! I haven't actually watched a lot of those animes (yet ... my PTW list please). Plus the little gaming touches - the place names popping up, the "pause" screen ... yep, I have a feeling this is gonna be a fun one :D

Why the hell are people calling Kazuma an idiot and asshole?
Because he decided to get back at the bitch goddess that mocked the shit out of him?
Because he decided to take her with him as revenge as well as because she's A GODDESS WHO CAN GRANT ANYTHING THAT YOU WISH FOR (but didn't expect her to actually be useless when she loses her position).
Because he actually takes lead, instead of acting like your typical whipped MC?

If you are looking for a whipped MC go look somewhere else, because your typical bland harem MC isn't here.

I wasn't sure if I wanted/could fit this in with the rest of my season lineup, but the first 10 minutes won me over completely. This turned out to be a complete riot. I was sitting here thinking "Oh, he sacrificed himself, what a good guy. Now he'll be given a second chance and...HAHA WOW HOW DOES ANYONE DIE LIKE THAT? A TRACTOR?" Not to mention he totally owned Aqua at the last minute. I also really like Kazuma's seiyuu, he gives him a crisp edge.
