Hayuume said: What I like about this show, is that even though our main character is extremely strong, is not that he just got teleported to another world, got super powers out of nowhere and no one can match him. I agree that it's better than the goddess just throwing them at him, but now that we're here how different does it really feel? We still have a really nice guy smashing through the setting with overwhelming strength just like many other isekai. The show had a neat mystique with the undead family, but now I'm struggling to keep interest. |

The show had a neat mystique with the undead family, but now I'm struggling to keep interest. I was talking more plot-wise. At least he has a reason to be strong. He practiced/learned for years and got the goddess bless as a final touch. That said, I agree that doesn't change how things are right now. It is more acceptable at least. I'm still interested in the story, but would lose the interest really quick if next episodes are just him smashing things with no real challenge. |
| Menel's inclusion in Will's demon extermination expedition does help a lot, even if they can't get along and just for the sake of completing errands. The overall animation in this episode felt so shallow, if next weekend's recap episode isn't already indicative of obvious production issues. Will is just ploughing through situations on easy mode, and saving an undead with the Blessing of Gracefeel. Meeting up with old Marple in her ghostly self, and Menel's frustration of not being able to save his people was better illustrated in the manga. What a traumatic memory for Will to take care of Menel while old Marple can rest easy and depart in good health. Another village lost to the demons, and the Beast Woods of Southmark villagers have no choice but to commence a funeral to honour the lost and celebrate what achievements have been done. Menel's backstory of being born in the elven forest, only to be marginalized as an outsider and doing odd adventurer jobs, in betrayal from a comrade and saving grace from Marple. To see a hunter like Menel fall from grace, I can relate to him in some ways, and Will was his saving grace to stop his erratic plans and be loyal through Gracefeel's prayer. Will has earned his first friend Menel, and it's a man-to-man, heart-to-heart talk. |

| Am I the only one who took the "you do have a pretty face" as a "Yeah I can understand why you'd do that" type of thing? |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |
rasterman7 said: phantomfandom said: I'm not sure about the latter but yeah, it has quite the religious tone which sometimes puts me off. For the moment at least it doesn't lean too heavy on that front.This anime has quite a religious atmosphere, it's almost like it's funded by some Church. It's about a paladin and paladins tend to be more on the religious side of things. If it was about a witch then it would be more about black magic or magic in general, if it was about a thief then hands down it would be about stealing and if it was about a knight then chivalry and all the other things about knighthood would be its subject. You get it now? |

| Damn, that character development between 2 of them were really good. |
 |
| Quite a sad and emotional episode. The scene of the burned-like undead kid was heart-wrenching. That granny was Meneldor's foster mother in a sense, since he never knew his biological parents and she took him in. As for Will it appears that he made his very first friend in this world :) |
 |
| WILLL WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU😭😭😭 mentel: i was born from a father nobody knew, i was different from everyone and they called me a disgrac- wll: damn bro ur rly pretty |
| At least they killed the demons in the village but that's still sad, especially for the Elf that sees everyone he loves dying and dying because of his long life, though now seems like Will finally made his 1st friend, that's great! |
 |
| I like Menel a lot more after this episode. It's nice that Wil has made a friend in the outside world. |

| I couldn't keep my face straight during this episode. The theme of the ep is sombre, but whenever anyone addressed Meneldor with the diminutive of his name it killed the mood for me, the contraction of his name (Menel) in Polish means hobo. |
| That scene with the undead kid was rough. Poor kid.. I’m glad Will managed to free his soul and the others too. On a lighter note, happy to see Will making his first friend. Excited to see these two go on more adventures as the show progresses. |
| Will really is representative of a good hearted Paladin |
| I'm really happy to see a show that doesn't treat faith/religion as always some evil entity or a punchline for jokes. Not that there isn't room for that, it's just it's not always bad, you know? Not only is it a literary device that's overused, but it's a really ignorant and cynical look at something that is much more complicated, just as anything in life is. One last thought: what the hell was Will saying when he said bro had a pretty face in response to him talking about having to do unspeakable acts to survive? That at the least deserved a punch to the face, and it seems totally out of character. Was the author on drugs when they wrote that? Like, textbook bad writing. Was the writer trying to show that Will is unaccustomed to being around others? We already saw that, but he still has memories of his past life so that doesn't make sense. I honestly don't get it whatsoever. At least Menel took it in stride, but wow, way to make the most awkward joke at the most awkward time, and it wasn't even funny to begin with. There's times I come across writing that irritates me or confuses me either in anime or in literature but that one is pretty high up there. |

| Plenty of breakdowns and crying in this anime so far. But I guess it is an unforgiving world out there. |
