| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, in a typical fashion, the demon king has a level of ego just like a demon king. First episode was rather silly imo and I actually kinda feel bad that Kinji has to deal with so much crap. Also, I couldn't take Shia seriously with that apron on at home lol. Rimu looked quite normal in normal clothes though. |
 |
| I thought that he would just come back to Japan like if nothing happened, it would have been hilarious to be honest xD but no he's coming back in the past just to end up with a hangover and debts... but well seems like he's motivated to dominate the world first, too bad it's apparently more dangerous now. |
 |
| As we expected from Ninomiya, he's not going to leave without a good revenge heheh They're so cute, now they looks like a married couple living together 😂 It's okay, I'm sure Ninomiya will find some solution to the dungeon thing. I liked this episode quite a bit 0.0 |
| Rim's tanned sister who's a Demon Lord. She was really different from Rim in terms of her personality. Ninomiya had to choose either to go back to Japan or the past of that place to fix things up. He went back to the past. Well, who can reject Free Food and Free Booze... certainly they can't. Rim is so cute. Ninomiya staying as a freeloader at Shia's place. She has to handle the situation for the time being. Ranga is quite responsible. And, Rim still eating a lot of things as usual. Ninomiya's secret plan isn't looking too great. |
 |
| An OK episode. Still love the characters as they all are funny and likable. However, I really question why they spent 2+ episodes going to the future, because the only thing that came out of that arc was giving Ninomiya a reason to defeat Raiza'ha, which I feel could have been accomplished in a much easier and concise way. Story is definitely better in the present world, with all the characters interacting, so I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| Things just keep getting more and more complex for Ninomiya, don't they? This was still a pretty chill episode, though. He's back in the past after seeing the end of the world with his own eyes, and now has the duty of saving the world from such a future. That doesn't mean his debts are all cleared though... Shia and Wanibe are safe and sound and Ranga is with them now. The Demon Lord being Rim's sister is pretty unexpected but it's interesting I guess. Rim still causes just as much problems for Ninomiya though, she doesn't change a bit no matter what happens. Then again that's why she's best girl :) When will Ninomiya take over the company? What will he do in order to achieve that? Most importantly, how's he going to deal with his debts? |
 |
| The whole suit of the Demon Lord is nothing but like a zombie corpse, and is Rim's sister. She's a whole lotta different from Rim. So we now know who's responsible for sending Kinji into the fantasy world, and his first deal that they can also send him back to Japan, that's a good deal. The catch is that Raiza'ha has infused some race's intelligence and cloned that entirely into the company, and everything that Kinji and Co. has encountered with the mechs now adds up. The only thing now is for Kinji to make a choice: go back to Japan or save the fantasy world of Raiza'ha's crappy craziness, and he need not think twice. So it's going back to the past to fix things up, and Kinji's not relenting any leeway against Raiza'ha, his Operation Back to the Future Ninomiya ultimate plan to acquire free food and booze by hook and by crook...to only get hung up in reeks. Shia trying to find work, Rim still is on her food runmaging efforts, while Wanibe and Kinji freeloads at past Shia's house. No worries, let this plan be the biggest plan that Kinji has ever pulled off, his Operation: Eternal Capital, only except that the monsters are also different back in time, and their powers being stronger than expected, while the debts pilevup as usual. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, KINJI! Love the new ED visuals of Rim and her Demon Lord sister being like Hololive with the dances. |
 |
| The difference between Ranga and Rim..I'm not talking about the dick btw. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Goddamnit, now they're even censoring adult Rim! |
| NOICE episode... and i like the new ending with dance |
| Knowing the future doesn't mean it can help you in the past. And it seems they still have a lot of trouble to deal with, also poor Shia having to deal with that group in her own home. |
| Ranga is working as an idol now lmao. I’m guessing they used mocap in the ed? It looks cute, I like it. |
 |
| Rim's sister, The Demon Lord, is a pretty serious girl. So she was the ''Majin'' back then. Pretty cool how they managed to build up the story. Anyway, Ninomiya had two choices. To go back to Japan or save the world from the company. Well his task now is to save the world after seeing what happend in the future. Back to the present. And the first thing he has to hear is that his debts are rising! xD Poor guy.. Well, it's better to enjoy some free food and booze before dominating the world. A fun and enjoyable second half. And the ED's visuals, JUST PERFECT! Rim and the Demon Lord dancing in 3D. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I feel like this show is getting worse by the week. Like with a show that seemed to be heavily fan service there's basically none any more. Ninomiya went from cringe and being funny to just cringe now. Rim is really the only reason worth watching this anime at this point imo. The ending was cute but thats about it. Wow this makes my case for the lack of fan-service even stronger. |

| The Demon lord is actually a Dragon/Demon thing they ran into the dungeons before and born as Rim's sister cause of Rim doing a lackluster job of protecting the dungeons. I am surprised that Ninomiya choose to go back in the past instead of going back to Japan. I am even more surprised that the Demon Lord was able to give him this choice. That's quite the ability to send someone back to his homeworld. Rim just has an appetite that never ends... While Ninomiya's debt ever grows so steadily. Surprisingly new ED visuals, I liked them. |
 |
| The ending was my favorite part of the episode. I thought it looked pretty cute and it worked well with the song |

| Our lord and saviour Ninomiya is back in the game, even tho he got an even bigger debt this time xD I do hope we still see some of the success of his plan to become the ultimate ruler ahaha Can't wait for the next episode! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Man I love this show lmao. Pretty good episode of Back to the Ninomiya! It's good to see Shia and Wanibe again. Glad they took Ranga back to the past with them, what are we gonna do without best g i r l. Ninomiya absolutely based, nothing definitely tastes better than free food, well free shit in general is some good shit. Of course Ninomiya will choose to go back to the past, he ain't going back home till he shits on Belza and rule over the world himself lmao. That ED with Rim and White Rim is fucking cute as hell, hope the keep that for the rest of the season. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Finally they've gone back to the past to prevent that apocalyptic future from happening. It's nice to see familiar faces like Wanibe and Shia again. The new ED visuals caught me off guard, but it was honestly adorable and wholesome af. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Well, this was funny. Hopefully this won't be the last time we see the demon lord. When Ninomiya was with the Raiza'ha boss, i thought he was gonna assassinate them and take over the company. It would have been too simple with some help from best girls duo Rim and Ranga, lol. The new motion-captured ED was cute, although some moves looked more suited for the dance break in a talk show, or for some talent show, heh. I bet it was performed by a guy, lmao. |

| The demon lord related to Rim. Thats explain why she looks so alike to Rim, and with the past few episode when the huge monster went rampage, its makes a sense. Nice connection. That's the story of the future. Raizaha company surely a mess. But, what about the past? I mean, their current time? Pretty weird by the demon lord using the time travel into making Kinji back to the current past-linear time. Kinda giving me a hint that those Rim's sister will be back in those time, considering all the event that happened in the future. Everything will be back to the circle again, i guess. Still, at that time, Kinji had Ranga, and by the future information, its make him considered the goal of the Meikyuu Black Company into even more concrete. No need to worry about the mountain of debt Kinji got at his back. No need to worry about having no place to stay, and eveyone hate your guts to even more. But, Kinji should've been worry more about the latest condition of the dungeon. Then, he still had an ants army too, right? So, yeah, no need to worry at all. Let it rest to Ninomiya Kinji, the Great. Also, wth with that new ed? Its nice, but, is that a special for this episode only or stay put until the end? Well, lets see next then! |

| This is golden. Meikyuu Black Company is so underrated. One of the better isekais in a long time. The only thing I hope is that it won't become worse. Ending of this ep was priceless. |
| the new ED visuals CG Rimu and the other dragon girl was superb!!! 4/5. |
 |
| 3x ISEKAI'd THAT ED IS SO ADORABLE! |
 |
| FBI had a lot of distress calls after ED aired.... |
 |
| poor Rim is being forced to dance for food in the ED |
 |
| dang it , this is pretty good episode |
| haha world domination and starting out with a debt worth two lifetimes, what a strong start jk |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Way too much randomness has hurt the show quite a bit unfortunately |
| I had to double check to make sure I was watching the same anime lol. This just got so over the top and I love it. Also the movie refferences were nice. Back to the future and good to see Shia again but uh I thought she'd act more nicely towards Ninomiya but oh well. |
 |
| Like a lot of people here I came to say I also love the ED visual, my score went up +1 just for that ^^ motion capture nicely done here. |
     |
| Never thought I would see the day that Kinj lives with Shia (although also with the rest) and even more shocking to see that unethical company providing free food . Hilarious that they actually used gluttonous Rim's stupidity as a plotpoint other than the contract with Kinji. |

Ending of this ep was priceless. Its becomes a little worse, despise the trap added, and the comedys plumetted with tooo much randomness. But overall its still above average compared to others, and shits on slimes current seasons And yeah, that endin was lit, was gonna say epic art, but some peeps say it was motioncapted. |
| This whole time travel arc has really dropped my enjoyment of the show. We didn't really need to halt all momentum for three episodes just to give Kinji a reason to want to beat Raiza'ha, when the show was already doing a good job of accomplishing that anyway; also, it was so much more interesting when it seemed like he'd want to take them on for personal reasons rather than because he has to in order to save the future. Well, I guess his "plan" to become the dictator instead makes for an amusing payoff to the whole thing. Hopefully now that he's back in the present the comedic value that's been more or less completely absent the last few episodes will return. |

| Ok, i now have an explanation. Author does cocaine. And as a wise man once said, "Don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to cocaine." |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| Rim forgetting why she is born because of good is just amazing |
| Finally it back to the year where Ninomiya has brought in for the first time. The future is really disaster. Ninomiya took the way to protect the future than back to Japan. This is the beginning, thought he is rich, and yet still broke as usual. |
| So now they also include some kind of time travelling plot, seems like the author just throws a lot of ideas together and hopes that something works out. |
| aaaand they're back and on a mission to save the world from the corrupt company... but MC also has a plan of his own, and idk how much better that would be lol |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I write most of my comments as I watch the episodes, so treat them like I'm live tweeting or something lolol~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes you just need to scream into the void. That said, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLEASE GIVE ME FANTASY ANIME RECS!!! I'M PRETTY MUCH OUT ON CRUNCHYROLL AND I'M BORED!!!Streaming services I have: Crunchyroll (this is the main one I use for anime and I've pretty much exhausted my options there), Netflix, Disney+ (including Hulu), Peacock, Paramount+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
