I don't even understand how they can have trouble communicating with each other. I mean I'm a shy person.. can't even ask for an extra ketchup in Mcdonald's. But if I'm in their position where I'm so poor I can't eat much, can't even buy underwear, fuck I'm gonna cooperate and do my fucking best and I'll make sure everybody else do too. There's too much drama and crying but I think these kids are just fooling around.

Damn it, Yume and her cutesy act is so irritating. Just die already, you're only holding everyone down. You're a hunter and yet you chose to become melee, fucking noob. And what's with ending sentences with "-na". It doesn't sound cute at all. grrrr.

Contrary to the majority here, I like Ranta as a character and when he became impatient of Yume's nonsensical storytelling of "how cute she is" (episode 4), goddamnit, he instantly became my favorite character in this anime and probably the only reason why I'm sticking with this show. And with the addition of a competent character, Mary, I guess this show ain't that bad.

I'm not really a fan of how A-1 Pictures handles their stories so I started watching this with low expectation. So far, it's okay, I really like the art style and the battles are really engaging but the drama, it just doesn't work for me. I guess I'll just resume watching and see if my opinion will change.

Death doesn't hit everyone the same way, not the same time. I think it was a good scene, the one of Haruhiro crying under the rain. I could feel how he "realized" Manato was dead and all the pain of it hit him in one moment.

In the other hand, the comic relief of that odd and suggesting position of Yume with Haru was good jajaja, I laughed. I think it was a good way to end the episode. I mean, yeah, it was fanservice but it was not as free as the usual fanservice.

I like how this anime manages and portraits emotions.

Fucking Haruhiro, there was absolutely no moral baggage in taking that gold coin and still he has to look cool and ruin their chance at having decent lives. For what purpose does he think Manato died? So they could mope and never move on? Jesus, I get that they're depressed but that was just so insanely stupid.

Ranta is always right. Fuck Haruhiro and rest of the squad.
uh oh!

I really don't see the problem had he accepted the coin. It wasn't done in a way to make them look pitiful but rather an act of kindness to a fellow group. What an unnecessary act of self pride instead of putting the team first. Already a shit leader lol.

Even if people found this episode slow I liked it. It's normal after what happened to Manato that everyone else is sad and tries somehow to handle this situation.

He was the leader and gave them a purpose. With him gone also this is gone. The boys didn't talk to the girls and Haruhiro invited a new priest in form of Mary. I don't know what to think about her. It's weird how she reacts to things (like when Ranta got injured and she refused to heal him). There's no harmony between them.

I had a feeling that Haruhiro wouldn't accept the gold coin of Renji even if this was very noble of him to do that.

The last part with Haruhiro and Yume was so well done. Brought some tears in my eyes ;_;
But that was so important. Both could finally show their emotions and they looked so cute together. The missunderstanding was real at the end what a nice HaruhiroxYume moment :)

Amen.

Yet again an ep where nothing happens.

At least mary isn't too bad of a char

Now I get why ppl don't see a reason for a 2nd season.
Seriously, that was the worst rpg anime I ever ever seen. Jesus Christ! A pure endless fan service, boring, dull and no developed characters and deaths without any impact to the viewer (jesus! Manato was a ''nice'' person, but we don't get any real and emotional introductions to grave like his companions did -- in a poorly way, btw).

I moved to 6th ep and I almost threw up in the first 10 minutes. That nonsense about Yume and Haru was Zzzz

I had high hopes for Grimgar, but I can't handle that sh*t anymore.

I'm loving the newest addition to the party. I laughed when Ranta needed to be healed but Mary was something like "Not wasting on that small cut." lol. With that Haruhiro x Yume moment, we can move on and hopefully not slouch off further over Manato's death.

Well that was a nice scene between MC-kun and Yume. They finally talked a bit about the stuff that happened recently. That new priest seems a bit strict, but she's not entirely wrong when it comes to tactics. Just because Manato was a frontline priest, doesn't meant she's as well. Renji is actually a pretty dope guy, who would've thought?

I was about to ask when we get to see some of the other guys again. Kikkawa is kind of a douchebag, but it must've been due to the alc. It was also nice of him to introduce Mary. While Renji made it big.

There's a lot of room for improvement in terms of group chemistry, even more so since Mary joined. Looking forward to further development of the story.

Very powerful stuff again at the end, but lol, had to change the mood.

Somehow they made this episode even sadder than the last one

I was hoping that the previous episode's events weren't just used mainly for shock value, and I think that they didn't. They dwelt more on Manato's death and continued to mourn for him. Glad to see that his death wasn't just an empty akame ga kill style death that had barely any weight behind it, our characters seem to already be learning and growing from it as to what seems to be a major point in our main character's well, character arc. I do like how our main protagonist haru-kun seems to be the mature type and not your typical block head. Ranta is still slightly annoying but I have hope he will eventually grow out of it as well.

Also kinda like how they start hugging eachother and just chill in eachothers arms without suddenly blushing so hard and getting embarassed like typical highschool characters, I appreciated that mature aspect to it- that is until shihoro opens her window... idk I found it funny so I guess it's fine lol

Just Started watching Episode 5 after Ranta's shitty commments at the funeral and then his outburst in the pub I definatley would of given in and made his face eat the table, But at the same time they are all to blame including Manato himself for his death.

I've never known of a Priest who frontlines his smash skill to me is an absolute last resort attack if frontline don't do their job properly or an enemy blindsides them, Then again in their group they currently don't have a standard sword and board tank and ranged damage is currently non existent.

Looking at it none of them took this as seriously as they should of right from the beginning and the harsh reality of it shows if you can hunt goblins whos to say they can't do the same to you.

Going to finish watching this episode might edit and add more to this post when I finish but that's my current thoughts right now.

EDIT: Mary I think I love her already and the responses were brilliant and most importantly correct decision making Priest's dont frontline, use Staff as melee weapon or to heal light injuries which currently don't need attention. I think now the group is going to be ok now.

kind of ...okay episode? I don't know.
This whole episode is mainly just proving how weak their team actually is, and their feeling about Manato's death. Nothing much to talk about this episode.

Other than that,
- Mary is 9/10.
- Until this episode, I still don't know if I treat this show as SoL action or Drama...
- surprise, surprise! no insert song ! (?)

dat sideboob...
Lmao even in a supposedly emotional scene they still manage to sexualize/objectify the shit out of Yume. Also where the fuck is her supposedly flat chest?


that's not objectification, they showed how humans behave at times its all natural

this days awry little normal natural thing is included in to category of objectification or sexism its hilarious

it was romance implication not objectification/sexualization, it made Shihoru think they have something going on between them

if that's objectification/sexualization then awry romance series animated and live action are all objectification/sexualization with ur logic

and if u see it like that u have bit dirty mind (pervert) :D

I really don't see how she is sexualized/objectified in this scene. God forbid, that a female is shown as a female.

I think they managed showing the consequences of Manato's death good. The little misunderstanding at the end was funny though.

And I wouldn't keep Renji's money either. I wouldn't want to owe him something. I somehow don't like him, he is a bit fishy.

What a episode!
Literally what a freaking awesome episode man.
Peak level development between Haruhiro and Yume, which I was certainly hoping or expecting since the start of the anime.
Because i am a romcom king in anime and manga xD.
Well, anyways, 10/10 ep from me.
Really good and awesome .
Expecting more from this series.
Also the death of Manano was quite suddenly and shocking,
I was a bit emotional TwT.
It is what it is.

That argument in the bar was one of the most believable sounding arguments I've ever heard in an anime, it really sounds like the VA's were pissed at one another. The conversation between Haru and Yume was also great, and the crying was also really believable, which is saying something.

Really shows that they don't have much of a clue of how their party dynamic should really work. Just like how Yume is still mainly focusing on melee combat when having a ranged fighter would be immensely more useful to the team, or how Ranta is still the one mainly charging in to fight multiple enemies when Mogzo is supposed to be the main combat tank. Also, even though Haru is a thief, he's barely been using stealth and hasn't actually done any thieving at all. He certainly hasn't done any surprise attacks, even his Backstab ability he's only used in direct combat.

It's kind of easy to find the better part of this episode pointlessly annoying, I agree but I'm just glad they didn't rush through the things and have something like Haruhiro taking over the reins in some "i'm gonna train to death and will obliterate every living monster" kind of vengeful fashion. That wouldn't have felt right at all.

Manato has left but these people are still there, so they have to move on however bitter that may feel, and working on their team dynamics is the first step towards moving on.

Those last few minutes had some reals but yeah someone has to interrupt lol. That was a good tone change honestly.

Honestly before this and watching a vid on why this show is great I was dogging on this show, ranking it a 5/10 and almost dropped it. Imo this is so far the best episode as it's more emotional and intimate and less annoying/ boring. I think now I more get that this show is supposed to be a more realistic isekai and am starting to appreciate it for what it is, even if it's mid. I think mary can add a little bit of an interesting dynamic to the group so I'm holding out hope that I'll come to enjoy the series more moving forward. We'll see if it gets better.

Hate that I was laughing during serious scenes here, but the melodrama was just too bombastic for me to hold it in, especially during that last scene.

Mary seems like quite the stoic character. It's somewhat refreshing, as the rest of the party is full of some ostensibly emotional personalities.
