that shits getting old :(



Honestly it's been old since episode 5. I don't know why everyone thinks Ranta is so unbearably annoying when we got Haruhiro bitching about the same shit every episode.

I mean... If you want anime about emotionless characters, with surreal mental and physical strength, drop this one, it's not for you. Bleach awaits :P

The problem is that the emotions are not there to add to his character, they simply give him a reason to bitch. I don't want to hear him stroke Manato's dick for seven episodes, I want to watch him take charge and become his own man not Manato 2.0.

Looks like I'm one of the few who find Haruhiro aggravating. I can't even properly explain why I don't like him, though it's mostly because he's on an invisible high horse and can only find faults in others, but as soon as he was asked about his weakness - "uh, no man, I don't wanna talk about it", not to mention him moaning about Manato every single episode. At least Ranta knows what he has to do and does it, but no, everyone's gotta be first buddies in order for the party to work according to the other guy.

Pretty meh episode, Merry's reaction to Death Spot was exactly the same as every other reaction from a character in anime when a past traumatic experienced was triggered, though at least we're introduced to new enemies.

So now they're fighting other enemies for a change, and they learned more awesome skills as well. Neat. That ending. That's not looking good, especially for Mary.... I hope everything will end up alright. Great episode.

Ranta's rival. Aanndd it's dead. gr8 rivalry, brought a tear to my eye 0/10 top class stuff.
If they want money, why not take those blue and green things on the wall? Those would probably give them some money.
No Ranta no. Don't go after that big kobold or whatever it was. Just don't bro.
Ok good. But now we got a ripped-ass kobold who looks like someone just disturbed it's fapping.
Oh ok, all of the kobold's in level 2 are like that.
Didn't they get a new place to stay? This looks like the old place

You're not alone man, Haruhiro is a terrible charcter.

This episode felt too short. In a good way. I wish this series was a lot longer though. It feels like a rather quick dream that makes an impression and disappears without a trace.
Ranta is going to be a tough fix. I dunno how anyone could deal with a person like himself.

For me the most redeeming quality this show has is it's seeming ability to accurately capture real human interactions. The conversation between Haru and Ranta was more than believable, and I could see it occurring between real people. It confuses me that they use it so sparingly, and all too often reduce these characters to silhouettes after displaying such an interesting potential for depth. They haven't really even followed up after stepping back to the silhouettes for moguzo and girls. It's like they can't decide if they want a character-driven show or not. Wish they would, would create some really killer drama and dialogue in some of the scenes that can come off shallow or a little empty and adding that to an action/adventure seems like it'd be a cool show to watch!

Why Ranta is being so dumb and selfish? Does he really think that they don't think about him as a friend?
That ED pic, wow, Ranta badass mode, hope to see him that way in the next episode.
Poor Mary :/ She is so afraid, she found the boss that killed her party and she is so afraid, but he can smell it, i mean her fear, so Haru will probably try to calm her down.
As always, Yume best girl <3 She was so cute training with those knives.

to ln readers Ranta will die right? They are better off without him triggering traps, awakening monsters, friendly stabbings, whining, supposed to know what he is supposed to do but whatever it is, he sucks at it.
I hope Haru gets a character development and move on from Manato. Maybe get a girlfriend Mary then he now think about her instead I'll be able to bear that better than Manato again.

I personally love Yume's class the most. She got all the cool stuff. Claws (or whatever was that thing she threw) Knives. And bows. So versatile.

Shihoru's support magic is really useful. Wish she learns some destructive magic too tho.

Finally some adorable Yume, I'm dead. Adding her in my top 10 favs.

God, Ranta is being even more annoying than usual. I see he wants to look like this cool antisocial (but deep inside, is just lonely and wants to be loved) from some rpg game, and that he wants to take the most credit in the group fights, but please, be more careful. You almost killed Haruhiro there.

Mary is feeling the trauma again, something bad is about to happen. Let's hope they get through this one well. Man, I love this anime more and more. Like, it's one of my most favorite now. The OP and the ED kill me every week. Desperately want it to get S2...

Hope they go anime original for the ending and just fucking kill Ranta. Dude is fucking annoying, nobody likes him. He thinks he contributes to the party simply because he can solo kill a 4 foot tall dog-man. He has no teamwork or synergy and nearly killed someone because he doesn't pay attention. He's a terrible fighter to boot; scraping by with a lucky stab to the heart after dodging and tripping over himself for 10 minutes.

And it's pathetic that he's getting so much support simply because he talked about Haru's weaknesses "omg he's blunt about what he says which is good". Ya'll sound like fucking Trump supporters.

That's literally the ONLY time he's said something that isn't completely fucking retarded. Hell, everything else he said in that conversation with Haru was fucking stupid. All he ever does is piss everybody off and insult his party members and say garbage that makes no sense. It doesn't matter if he brought up the topic of weaknesses that nobody wants to talk about. anybody could've done that.

I like the decided for a change in scenery.
But is it just me or is Ranta just being a jerk????

Maybe he is trying to be string and protect everyone in his own way, but that was a bit to harsh on Haru...
I don't know...
I sincerely don't like how Ranta is acting.
How about you????

I can undestand why a lot people hate Ranta especially from this episode
but let me tell you, hoping for Ranta dead equally mean for hoping to kill Grimgar.
Like or not, Ranta has become one of important part in Grimgar fanbase
he draws a lot negative and positive reaction from fans, unconsciously it Ranta himself who made Grimgar popular.
Ranta character himself is important, he exist as Party joker. Mainly as Haruhiro contrast
even if author kill Ranta and replace him with someone better that is totally different because Ranta has made his own outstanding influence.

Guys, take it easy. Ranta is created to be pretty much the exact opposite of Haru, more or less to compliment his introvertness. He is literally a reminder that there are more than one legible solution to a problem (i.e. Kill or not kill the sleeping mobile), and that not everyone has to think the same or work the same way despite having the same goal. It's clear that people who thinks like Ranta and likes everything straight on and wants a leader that will lead and kick ass will like him and hate Haru, and people who think like Haru and tend to be more careful and considerate will like Haru more and hate Ranta.

They make each other more interesting because they each present a different approach and solution to a dilemma based on their personality.

Even after much experience, Haru still is incapable as leader. Ranta was actually correct in saying that Haru always nags him about his weakness but he ignores his own.

After 10 episodes, only Mary and Yume still interests me other characters are just mob faces.

I really like Ranta, at least he is honest and quick to make a decision unlike lukewarm Haru and completely silent Moguzo. I wish Haru would just leave Ranta alone like Manato did and mind his own business. But I do hope they get out alive.

Ranta is... Ranta I guess. It's his way how to deal with thing and not showing his own weakness or getting emotional. He's just the type of the guy with thick-skin who doesn't share his emotions.
Still, it's totaly understandable this behavior and lack of will to cooperate gets on the nerves of others. And if they are arguing now right now when nothing happens, I really wonder how he reacts if Haru starts dating one of the girls.. in fact, something like that could actually break whole group.

The end with Mary going PTSD and unable to move was very intense, and that sound of the dragging sword just multiplied this chilling atmosphere. I really wonder how Haru helps her to cope with her fear and if they get home unscathed (here I smell another failure though noone obviously dies this time).

The best part of this pleasant episode is certainly the way we discover a new species and its beautiful environment. (I would gladly watch a fantasy show presented like that)
The focused character might be interesting but it is drowned in his way of talking/acting.

I am still deeply annoyed with their new skills introductions who forever look like the move is suddenly coming out of nowhere (even the thief one, for wich we saw a ridiculously tiny bit who was more about boobs and ass than training)

Ranta is so weird I don't really hate him but I don't like him either.
I mean I'm okay with him being cruel to their enemies and stuff like that's pretty normal imo. I wouldn't be gentle with wild beasts either even if they're already dead.
What ticks me off is that he doesn't even try to communicate with others properly without being a complete ass about it.

It's been a couple of episodes since he died but Haruhiro is still thinking about his boyfriend, huh? just jk but Manato seems to have a major role in this even if he's already dead.

Is it just me or does Ranta seem like a completely different character all of a sudden? His English VA changed for whatever the hell reason, so maybe I can attribute it to that, but the way he acted feels radically different now too... like a much more extreme and nihilistic version of his previously nonchalant and mouthy self.

I don't dislike him, really. It was foreshadowed his relationship with the party would devolve from way back before when he was complaining that nobody seems to understand him. Nobody does seem to understand him, not even the watchers. They just write him off as irritating or stupid. Strange how I appreciate Ranta more now than I did before when he was just being a bitch.

The entire air about this episode felt different. I almost would've thought there was a small timeskip.

I also feel like Mary's triggered PTSD attack is going to tip Death Spots off to where they're hiding. <_<

I like how the anime has always expressed Ranta is very much like fire tempered, hot headed and rash but also potentially powerful and self absorbed. Compared to their tank who is basically a big earthly mountain that enjoys providing for everyone

Rantas's one of my favorite characters in this show tbh. I don't understand why Haruhiro is making a big deal. He just doesn't understand him and can't read him and seems to be frustrating him. He simply handles things differently because he has different points of views..

I hope Mary doesn't lose herself in the next episode!

This anime's slow pace is starting to pick up finally :)
