 https://myanimelist.net/anime/60732/Mizu_Zokusei_no_Mahoutsukai Plot Summary Ryou is delighted to be reincarnated into the fantastical world of Phi, where he thinks he'll get to live a quiet life learning to use his newfound water magic. Going with the flow here, however, means something very different. Ryou is immediately pitted against the wild lands he winds up in and the slew of deadly monsters that call the remote subcontinent home. You'd think he'd forget about taking it easy when he's stuck fighting for his life, but lucky for Ryou, he's naturally optimistic, clever, and blessed with the hidden "Eternal Youth" trait. Twenty years pass in the blink of an eye, and each encounter along the way pushes him one step closer to the pinnacle of human magic. Little does he realize that's only the opening chapter of his tale. A fateful meeting soon thrusts Ryou to the forefront of history, forever changing the course of his life... Thus begins the adventures of the strongest water magician the world has ever seen—who also likes to do things at his own pace!

| Pretty bland. Also seemed like they were rushing through a lot of things. Why did he suddenly decide to start dressing like Tarzan? |
| The first episode fails my quirky standards, so I won't be watching. I need to see a significant character that I like in every episode. |
| Meeting a friendly talking dragon in the first episode was a bit much. He at least had to work to get the hang of the magic. I thought he was going to turn that water into hydrogen peroxide though. The action scenes were unnecessarily confusing with the way they were shot. That drives me a bit crazy. runec said: Yeah I was wondering about that. Maybe it was too hot? It was a nice touch that they gave him a tan.Why did he suddenly decide to start dressing like Tarzan? |

| I'm going to call it now: He's going to have better chemistry with Abel than he ever gets with the female love interest. |
| Well that was pretty pedestrian. Weird that the gryphon made them crap their pants, but a bunch of wyverns were barely a challenge. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| The "Slow Life" does seem to be a root part of the show. Our main character is just kind of taking things as they go and enjoying the trip. I don't mind it but curious to see if the pace picks up once they get to civilization. |
| This is starting to remind me of the one with the kid raised by the zombie heroes and the weird yaoi vibe with the elf with the weird shorts. A cure for insomnia |
| This episode seemed off somehow the entire time I was watching it but I couldn't pinpoint why. Then I realized everyone in the show has natural hair colours. There's no anime hair. |
| I am kind of enjoying the slow pace of this one. It's a laid back sort of story. Wander the world discover new things, no pressures hang with friends sort of thing. Elf recognizes there is something different about him and clearly the way he does magic is not normal. Series is going to heat up eventually but I'm in no hurry for it to do so. |

Oh about the Debuhi Empire.
Debu is a simple insult meaning chubby or fat. Buhi is the onomatopoeia sound a pig makes (like 'oink').

| @marklebid So...Fat Piggy Empire |
| Ah, so it's the Fat (Oink!) empire. Edit: And I imagine the oink sounding like this one. |

| Episode 4 Ryo meets his party as he begins his life as an adventurer. But things take a sudden turn when an akuma strikes during the eclipse. Leonore was about to burn the town to the ground, but Ryo stood in her way and fought back before she was forced to retreat as she can't fight as well when the sun is out. Ryo just wanted a relaxing life, but it has gotten quite chaotic between the adventurers in town, and now an akuma attacking. |
| She called it a Cloister, seems to be a closed space. One of those "blow stuff up and then everything is back to normal when it's over" deals. Had he not been there what would have happened? She was surprised to find a human, maybe she was originally targeting that elf he encountered before. |
| Is he getting younger/smaller every episode or is it just me? |
| If pig tails is so concerned with Ryo's magic why doesn't she just, you know, talk to him? |

| @runec I think she was going to last episode, but the blond told her not to be rude, so now she's trying to look it up in books |
| What kind of idiots run this town? Why would you not create some kind of alarm that you could use to alert the entire city that the emergency that happens every few years, and that everyone fears, is happening again? Where's the Horn of Bjorn Butterhand? Or the Bell of Nell the Nimrod? Let's not call in all the adventurers in town to come and help. Just the ones that happen to come into the guild hall that day. If any of the others are doing something else then I'm sure it must be really important and we wouldn't want to bother them or anything. If those happen to be some of the stronger people in the city then it's just bad luck I suppose. Oh, and the rest of the city can just go about it's business like usual too. This show really goes out of it's way to make sure no one happens to get any important information too early. Better not tell that elf that you had a run in with an akuma the other day. All the drama has to happen at just the right time after all. Ugh, so stupid. |

zkeleton said: What kind of idiots run this town? The sort of idiots that would build a coliseum/arena around the dungeon instead of 4 sheer walls full of murder holes and lined with boiling oil? The sort that built the coliseum without even a buffer zone around it? The sort that despite knowing the fact a horde could break out of the dungeon only had 2 moderately sized doors on the dungeon that even the regular goblins could immediately break down instead of massive braced gates? The entire entrance should be one huge death trap maze before they get anywhere near the outer walls. |

@runec You want them to build a dungeon around the dungeon :P
| @marklebid I think what he's describing would be more of a labyrinth. |

| @marklebid It should be a total tower defense maze. |
| or...just spit balling here, don't build a city around a dungeon when monsters can get out |
| For a show called The Water Magician the water magician in it really doesn't do much. He's basically become a supporting character in his own show. |
| Thinking on it this way You have a dungeon that spits out a monster horde, so you try and seal it up. Clearly the monsters can smash their way out so you need to set up a guard. You build a barracks, but you need supplies to keep them all fresh Quartermasters get along with various merchants who then think why not set up shop near the Barracks. Merchants realize; While the dungeon is a monster filled danger it is clearly also a resource filled with valuable materials. Instead of miners you need people who are good at killing stuff, so they start up the whole Hire Adventurers thing. Adventurers need places to spend their money so people set up shops and taverns and .... other entertainments not far from the dungeon. More shops get set up to feed all those people People hate to commute so they end up building houses Few decades later you have a town after a century or so you have a city |
| I was starting to wonder if Ryo was going to have anything to do with the story anymore... |
| Yeah he showed up, but until they explain how, it comes off as a complete ass pull. And I'm not expecting the explanation to be that great. It's frustrating. This is one of those shows that could be a lot better. It doesn't come off like the people who are making it are half-assing it, the story just suffers from lazy writing. The town doesn't have an alarm bell and the library doesn't have a librarian. At least not one who knows where anything is at apparently since he said he didn't know where to start looking. This is an extremely poorly organized town for a place that isn't totally falling apart. And why is record keeping about these outbreaks so poor when they're so important and it seems like everyone wants to research them? There's some bad directing choices too. I had no idea that there were two separate groups until the group with the main adventuring party happened on the group getting their asses handed to them by the demons. She said there were a thousand humans too and nothing had indicated that anywhere close to that many people were in the dungeon. That entire battle didn't make a lot of sense until near the end. And why did the party leader apologize for asking the girl to cast a search spell. 'Sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to do your job now.' Though the worst part may have been, 'I can't tell her I saw an akuma.' Yes! Yes you can you dumbass! Nothing is preventing you from telling her that except your own stupidity! |

| @zkeleton Yeah, I'm sure the explanation will be totally plausible and not an ass pull. Also he's suddenly really cocky about the strength of his abilities vs the Demon Prince. My favourite part about the library scenes is him coming up with obvious theories about the Tidal Bore and then being treated like he's on to something when it sounds like its actually common knowledge. I got confused on the two separate groups thing too. When she said she detected a thousand people I was expecting them to come across a small town or something. Because there certainly wasn't that many people in the group. Also that fight animation was pretty rough. They used the same panning still frame shot 3-4 times of the demons with arrows stuck in them. |

| Well, I'll admit of all the ways I thought he might have made it down to them in time I didn't guess "lolol imma drill a hole through 40 floors". |
| Love how the old wizard takes the guild leader aside and tells him "I do not want the idiots in the nobility to know about him because THAT is a not be F'ed with." |
| I never figured on the one girl just running out and finding him. I thought it would be something more mystical. So now they've run into these devils, which are rare enough, and the super rare devil prince. But he still won't tell anyone about the akuma. That one point is really bringing down this entire show. So that interlude with the 'hero' trying to summon a demon lord is one of those things that explains some things and also brings up more questions. Primarily, when the heck did that happen? |

| Maybe if the guardian beast had done more guarding, they wouldn't have needed people to go in the forest and spill blood.... Now we have the traditional hot-headed redhead warrior |
| Oh no, not the Inferno mage. Surely there won't be any contrived circumstances that result in Ryo fighting him. |

| @runec It's also a good thing they told us he was the inferno mage, otherwise how would we have known that he uses fire? Besides him casting that fire spell that is. HOOfan_1 said: Yeah he didn't really seem like much of a guardian.Maybe if the guardian beast had done more guarding, |

| This must be planned as more than a single cours, because if it is only 12-13 episodes, so much NOTHING happened in this episode. Not to mention introducing new characters so late in the season, when we haven't even seen the blond guy who had his underling incinerate those guards since like 5 or 6 episodes ago. |
| Yeah that was a half episode worth of stuff that was stretched into a full episode. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| This show's ability to waste time gets more and more impressive. |
| Ah, we're getting a classic misunderstanding first meeting. Setting up Oscar's Trauma background gives us a good reason for him not listening to reason when people tell him to chill out |
| Sooo....what were the bandits after the first two times? They weren't looting or anything they were just killing people because(??). The misunderstanding is going to be kinda stupid if it doesn't get resolved immediately. They're clearly not the attackers and there are some bodies of the attackers near them. |
runec said: Sooo....what were the bandits after the first two times? They got a single sword apparently...and 50+ bandits are afraid of some wolves. Also, unless wolves in that world can open doors, why didn't they just shut the door to the house? Wasn't there a woman still alive in there too? |

| @HOOfan_1 An entire horde of wolves showed up because they smelled blood. So wouldn't some wolves have shown up when they were in the woods killing that boar? Perhaps the wolves have opposable thumbs. |
