Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Recap

This recap was absolutely necessary to remind us how bafflingly impressive this anime is. Cuz as average anime watchers, we can't be expected to have the intelligence to remember what happened in the past few episodes, right? I'm glad that this studio understands how stupid I am and took the time to make an episode reminding me that what I'm watching is in fact shit.

This recap serves to remind us that our hero is an Aggressive Super Sadist, or ASS for short, and that he's overpowered, does edgy things, and is on a quest to obtain the ultimate loli harem like his isekai forefathers. ... It also reminds us how hilariously bad the story, visuals, and really everything about this anime is. Yeah, this recap totally shows some pretty deep stuff. And you know what else is deep? *insert lewd reference because I can't think of one myself*

You know, instead of poorly rehashing a bunch of poorly made scenes from such a poorly written anime to create a poorly made recap episode, the producers could have used this valuable time and effort to maybe make their anime, well, less poorly produced. But then that would have made it less "so bad it's good" and more "so bad it's...bad", and then I wouldn't have bothered watching it or reviewing it for ironic reasons. So friends, that's why this recap is, in fact, absolutely necessary and deserving of a 10 out of 10, because it serves to elevate the sheer enjoyment that I derive from watching this trash.

It seems that lately, most if not all (especially) crappy series trying to push a recap episode in the midst of being aired, probably as a call of desperate cash grab because they can't pull up a complete 12 episodes to seal the traditional seasonal mark. Or maybe it's one of those “Here is where the series picks up, so you might as well recap what happened so far”. But when you're presented with a trashy, lazy and extremely low-quality series, the last thing you'd want is more of the same garbage. That's one of my complaints as a completionist, I can't leave out the ... smallest of related content to a series no matter how bad I hate it, it's both a curse (in this case) and a blessing on rare occasions.

“Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou” has managed to hype up a massive selection of the Isekai fans prior to its release, however, the disappointment was far greater than anyone had anticipated, and with this recap episode, you only get to see how much rushed and incomplete the storytelling was. So slow you could space out most of the episode, and suddenly, it jumps into being a fast-paced shitfest that requires more energy to follow up with than necessary.

The recap doesn't come up with anything new but a couple of teases for a new character at the end, however, you do get to see how much potential this story had, as they stripped off everything that was filling up the air time of each episode, leaving you only with the highlights. This series could have been at least decent, it turned out it carried more trouble than it was worth.

Waited all week, was excited to watch the next episode only to see its a recap. severely disappointed.

I know this anime is butchering the manga, but I'm Isekai trash and love shows like this, what i don't like are recap episodes . Sure go ahead put a small recap in the beginning to refresh if you really cant fill out 20 min of air time, but a full episode of just flashbacks of the past 5 episodes was painful to sit through and honestly boring.

Episode 5.5 is not necessary to watch in the least because if you're actually watching the show you will know ... whats going on and dont need a recap after such few episodes.

Dont waste your time.
