The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible Discussion

Yeah. Have to admit I'm really disappointed. Feeds into the idea of "you can only be special if you're born special". Is that something the Japanese really believe? That you can't just be an ordinary person who through hard work and sheer determination achieves? You have to have some secret power deep within that must be awakened?

I'll keep watching, but it feels like now it's just gonna fall into the typical shonen tropes much like Kaiju no 8 did by the end. Hoping I'll be wrong.

Remember, Japan is a very hierarchical society. They believe that society runs best if some people are allowed to rise to the top while others stay in their lane and merely do the best they can in their niche. Some people have "it", and some don't.

However, like I said, they also believe that if you work hard in your niche and put your whole heart soul into it, then there's a good chance you'll find the "it" that you had all along. They believe that everyone is born with a "spark" but only the truly devoted and dedicated will unlock it.

It's part of the reason overwork culture (to the point of literally working to death) is such a problem. You're supposed to work hard and not ask questions until your time comes. The whole point to "Kurosisekai" ("Isekai after death") is to justify the fact that even if you die without finding your cheat, there's still a chance. So don't worry about it.

I did not like that at all, it pretty much flew in the face of everything we saw in the first 3 episodes. How is this guy not a legend? One punching a dragon and saving adventurers when he was just a secretary/clerk (whatever he was)? How did him saving elf girl not give him confidence (and yeah 17? I expected her to be 170), and after that amazing show of bravery before he trained how was he always so worried? Damn I thought this had been pretty decent up until now :(

Wow that's just as bad as western religions, don't worry just follow all the rules and even if your life sucks you will be rewarded in Heaven when you die, just missing the oh and don't be jealous of the cheaters who become rich and have things easy you will get to watch them burn and suffer in hell for all eternity for having it good while they were alive.

So is this legendary monster they're hunting actually going to threaten the world or are they just going to jump it and kill it while it's sleeping?

OK so now it's Dragon Ball. At least her maid outfit finally maid sense.
That girl in green who joined their party had the slightest boob jiggle I have ever seen animated, you have to wonder why they even bothered if it was that subtle. Well at least someone cares that much to add such a subtle detail.

Look like a certain green-haired lady is crushing on the Orc
