| So you are telling me that Haruhiro killed a monster that killed an entire party... yep... this seems accurate... Manato, Manato, Manato, Manato... EVERY episode they have to remember us that Haruhiro isn't like Manato. Can't they move on already? They have to do another season, 'cause they didn't explained how those people appeared in this RPG world. Anyway, after all, this is a 5/10 for me. |

"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| In an episode that was suppose to make or break it for you, this episode really broke it real hard. First off, we were left on a cliffhanger last episode with the walkway to the rope that lifts them up to the 4th floor collapsing and Ranta surrounded by 5th floor Kobolds AND the Death Spot. The start of this episode, he's suddenly crawling around on the 4th floor already, no explanation of how the hell he managed to escape the fight AND find another place to climb back up to the upper level WITHOUT pursuit EVEN FASTER than Haru's team did in just climbing up their side! Mind blowing really..... So the Death Spot lays in wait for them on the 3rd floor and just jumps up in the lamest jump scare ever. Haru manages to pull him back down the cliff whilst telling everyone to leave. As he lays there injured, along with the unmoving Death Spot, why is it that every one in his team starts leaving? The Death Spot was down on the ground unmoving, why did they all just run off like he was already dead? Throughout the entire sequence up till Haru slices the Death Spot apart, that damn mutt made no noise. How the heck was it that they didn't think to go help him in the first instance, and then suddenly knew when to go down to retrieve his battered body? It's not like they knew for sure that he hadn't already been eaten by the Death Spot, and he already fell down unconscious after beating it again. Not gonna bother with the flash helmet appearance since that's been complained about for the millionth time already, but I did not enjoy all the scene skipping without explanations at all. Not only do they make no sense, they really took away from the enjoyment of the episode. It's like, oh they were in danger last episode, but suddenly they're okay. Um... wut??? That said, the backgrounds and the panoramic scenes are always where this show presents it's strength, and that was no different this episode. I actually laughed when Haru was bandaging his arm before the last attack on Death Spot. After watching all this team leave, my inner monologue for him to Ranta was "The hell I'm gonna die and leave you my Harem!". That last attack was also an issue. He looked like he was unconscious the entire time. It didn't seem like he even knew what he was doing. Someone who's read the LN please tell me if that was the actual case there as well. Overall it was decent as a standalone anime series up till they messed up the narrative this episode. I still enjoyed the show, just less so than I was suppose to. |

| Gives you the same feeling as when you think you're screwed in Fire Emblem then your unit crits off his 1% chance and saves the day. Really loved this anime, and I quite liked the final episode. I'm happy that we got an actual conclusive and satisfying end to the season as well, I felt like it really got wrapped up nicely. Definitely going to hope for a 2nd season on this one. The characters are in the right spot where their developments and bonds are strengthening and we are really getting to know them, and the story can go wherever it needs to because they left no loose ends. I may read the light novel though because it's one of those stories where I really want to know what happens now and not later. |

| Why so many series have weak finale. The last fight with death spot was Haru soloing it with broken arm. Just wat -_- Everything else was ok. 7/10 |
 |
| Mary best gril Overall it was fine. Mary is just too damn cute. |
| mods are cucks |
| Needs a S2, really. Pretty comfy show overall, just felt kinda short towards the end. A lot of ploint points were never adressed and all that stuff, but it was suprisingly fun. iPinoy said: Mary best gril. If by Mary you mean Yume, then I agree. |
| Ranta has a mystic helmet it seems. It was a fun series, even though many questions were left unanswered. 8/10 |
| I really want to know the name of the song that played during the fight that ensued after the gang catches up with Ranta in the farm area. It's a different version of the same song that was in the first preview for the show. I don't think it's been released anywhere yet though from what I can find. I can't decide who the best gril is yet. They're all tied for me right now. |

| Sooo many unanswered questions! I really liked it, but I doubt there will come a second season. How did they get into this world in the first place? They obviously origin from our world and landed in some kind of game?? And no real romance at all in the entire series, which is feel-ey all the way? Really sad. Will those qustions of mine be answered later? |
<3 <3 <3 Kei is love <3 <3 <3 |
| made an awful season bearable loved this show more please |

| Really bothered me in Log Horizon when no one questioned why they were trapped in the alternate reality, same goes for this. I hope the novel gave some sort of reveal about why they are there. |

Agreed xD Yume is best girl IMO ♥ That aside, the series was kinda meh for me... Only ep 1,2 and 11 were good lol. Maybe slow "action" anime is not for me or wtv. But I really got bored in the middle of the series. :v I did finish the series just for the sake of finishing it though. -__-'' If this show would get a s2, I probably won't watch it, unless the pacing is a lot better. |

| The fight was absolutely bullshit like wtf was this sudden Power up |
| Solid ending, would love another season. |

| The show as very good at times and very awkward at times. You have to question if those awkward parts are what make the show unique because it gives it that realistic quality which is something you don't see in the "trapped in a rpg" anime mold. Not a perfect show in the least. Enjoyable and glad to have watched it. I don't feel like I really know the characters anymore than when I first met them. There was some insight shared and obvious growth but still. Anyway good finale and a good show if you don't mind a slow drama. I doubt this will get a second season even with the decent sales. It served it's purpose...boosted the novels. Yeoun said: The fight was absolutely bullshit like wtf was this sudden Power up He's kind of had that perception ability (they've been grooming it for episodes) so it's not a total ass pull. Now the breaking of the sword shit was a little > > |

| This anime is very boring, right to the very end. people say its "slow" but there is almost no character development whatsoever, here's my breakdown of character development : -Haruhiro: indecisive emo kid -> decided to sacrifice self for his team -Merry: i dont want to talk => now i talk -Mogzo: mogzo => mogzo -Shihoru: i'm so shy i put my hair over my eyes => now i wear a hair pin -Yume: flat and useless => flat and useful -Ranta: i speak my mind even though i'm stupid => i still do the same But it was real chill most of the time, kinda calming, i even call it my "ASMR anime" . Its a solid okay anime, and i dont understand why people call it great or 10/10. |

But I was hoping there would be more developments and an increase in the pace in the later episodes. I waited for it and waited for it and I got it on ep 11. *cries* It was uhhh... bearable to watch I guess... considering I didn't drop it. |

Ok I actually thought they were going to reach their maximum potential at the end of the show and defeat a final boss, but yeah. S2 Never. |

| I really enjoyed the relaxing, realistic(ish), and character-driven take this series did with the isekai/MMO genre. It's refreshing to see the team slowly grow over the episodes, in terms of their skills as well as teamwork. They've really come far since the beginning, with little to no teamwork and not understanding each other very well, to warming up to each other one way or another, and actually being able to cooperate when fighting. I think having at three characters with developing over the series is good enough, give that there is only 12 episodes, and focusing on every character wouldn't work well, imo. I think the pacing was perfect, although many would beg to differ. It might just be a preference or certain taste, and I think that's fine. It makes sense why it would irk people that we've barely seen anything in terms of plot, especially with the way they set up the "mystery" in the first episode. Questions about how they got there, and why they don't have their memories are still unanswered. It wouldn't be unrealistic expectations either to have wanted at least those questions be answered. But given how the series went on from there, it would be missing the point. We're just merely observing this party and their growth, and I think that's quite entertaining in itself. I'd like to know the answers to those questions...I'd like a second season :) Lots of people said it already, but the background were really nice. As for this episode, I wonder how Ranta got away from the kobolds o_o His little creature thing was interesting, I didn't understand what it was for, but I think it's to help him be motivated and survive? By spiting him? |
| easily one of the worst animes of the season. too many plot holes and questions unanswered. as predicted, it is impossible to revive the anime by rushing the last 2 episodes. |
 |
| A great start, a fairly weak ending. For this episode i mean. The show wasn't bad, and I actually REALLY enjoyed it. But this last episode was just slightly above meh. Kind of a weak "That was nice" I really hope for a season 2. but it feels... unlikely. 8/10 |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
What happened?  And the boss fight, so much wasted potential... |
| defeat the kobold leader..then scavenge the sword...now that's a good drop |
 |
| Definitely one of the better anime this season and the ending was certainly very satisfying. Such a heartwarming and sweet conclusion ~ I thought the ending was very well done. Glad Haru is back and Ranta safe and sound as well ~ The team would definitely not feel the same without Ranta and his antics ~ Hope this gets a continuation one day. I'll probably miss the chars. Not disappointed with the 'boss battle' at all since I never saw this series as an action-focused series anyways. High 9/10. |
| Will there be season 2 or is this the end? |
| Solid anime from start to finish! Character development was amazing, the OST was very fitting and sounded great, and the story was very good! I could watch several more seasons of this story and these characters. Hope we get to see more of it some day! My third favorite anime this season and I give it a 9/10! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| One of my favorites this season. Im satisfied to how the anime ended. Also based on this episode, I'm starting to ship for Mary x Haru. Though Yumi is still top girl, I'm starting to think there's no more development between her and Haru after that night rain hug scene. lol. Mary is a strong contender and she's starting to grow on me. On another note, Haru is strooooong! or at least getting stronger! Hoping for a season 2 soon! Crossing my fingers! |

| Quite good anime overall. A kinda log horizon rip-off with a plot "a noob party who trying hard to survive in this RPG game". 7/10 , but I give a 8/10 because Mary. Best Grill. |
 |
| I love this. Can't wait for a season two! Haru just got into the Zone lol Hal x Mary ships are moving in at blazing speed <3 |
 |
| The Merry was diabetes Enjoyed the ep even if Hal vs DS was anticlimactic 8/10 |
 |
| I don't want to say anything, just Australia! |
 |
| I just surprised how this anime is really good. At first it's just boring, but when mary is showing up, it's just get interesting. 5/5 for final episode, 9/10 overall. Idk, just really like this show a lot, my fav this season. Haru x Mary ftw. Really ship them omg. Mary is just too cute, best girl 11/10. I think BD sales for the first week is around 3k, which is not bad. And after this I think the sales will go up. I think it have a chance, but who knows. I really want a season 2 personally. |
 |
| That scene when he killed Death Spots though. I don't know why but it was so freaking awesome. Yume best girl, best ass and flat (she's not that flat) is justice. FeelsBadMan for Australians. |
