| okay wait, there's something that i don't understand/confused, It's about Arisa. Is she also in the same position on what happened to MC? was a human and brought into an RPG isekai?!? LOLZ! Arisa's advances to entice MC has no effect! LOL at Zena's "BAKA!" misunderstanding cliche again! 4/5. |

LOLZ! Arisa's advances to entice MC has no effect! LOL at Zena's "BAKA!" misunderstanding cliche again! 4/5. She was reincarnated into a royal family, like what she explained, meaning she died in japan It's either summoned or reincarnated but in MC's case, it was neither He didn't die in japan coz he didn't start from being a baby, it also wasn't summoning coz he didn't meet god and there's no magical circles around him So yeah it's a mystery for now |

I really do wonder..... Next episode, next addition to the party!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I really liked this episode. +2 on the harem. And learned the backstory to his new slave/friend. I really enjoy this anime. Hope it continues to be great. |

deadman80 said: the 3 before he got for free if i remember right since they're already with him while the former owner is dead,and for saving his life you can expect a good discountDon't need a detailed explanation from readers of the source, (NO SPOILERS PLS, in other words,) but can I get a few short answers on whether or not it is explained in the WN: * How old was Arisa when she died? Speech patterns are youngish/modern, and she was comfortable w/ video gaming terms, so it seems unlikely she died of old age. Also, kinda got shotacon vibes from her lust-fueled rant about how thin and hairless he is. XD ** Extending from above, is there a time-variance between the two worlds? Arisa's been there for 11yrs, but I don't feel much of a gap in their understanding of things from the Old World. Did she get reincarnated "in the past" so to speak? * Are slaves actually cheap to buy? :/ Satou just picked up FIVE at one shot, and though he is richer than (a) God at this point, (since he already looted one,) it seems to me like it should be uncommon for anyone to be buying in bulk. If the slave trader was like, " Hey Bro, you're cool! I like you! Buy3,Get2 Free!" though hoping to get rid of his troublemakers, it would bother me less. lol Also this :  |
Antanaru said: I'll be damned, it actually wasn't bad. Started as the blandest and most generic crap but this episode with MC acting like a grown up he actually is and the whole resurrection/summoning deal piqued my interest. Voices are a bit jarring and pacing is pretty bad but let's see how it turns out. he's always acted like an adult though. |
modboy said: HaarWyvern said: Worst episode for me. It's cringe this pressure for the lolis. This anime take a bad turn if it's more a loli harem than an isekai. The new girl is cool tho. I'm with you the loli stuff isn't half as interesting as exploring the world. I didn't mind some cute companions but this is really getting out of hand. If they were adults, he might have to get romantically involved. You can't be a red blooded man and not get involved with attractive mature women... so he gets lolis instead. Female characters that he doesn't have any physical attraction towards. |
| "Mmmmhhh... let me compliment you and offer to buy you a present while I change the subject from the fact that you found me in bed with a loli, one half-naked, the other naked." Wow. Is this supposed to estabilish blondie-chan as a retarded-gullible person or is it just terribad writing? To be honest, it feels more like the latter to me. |
| Yet these hands will never hold anything. Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!  |
| The new addition to the crew doesnt seem to be anything great. Just another girl to add to the harem. Oh well. |
 |
| well more characters add up..Like a little back story and apparently other people were also transferred to this world |
 |
| Finally, Arisa, my favorite girl and Lulu arrives. Both are high quality slaves, since their both beautiful even though one is considered ugly in the world. Lucky Satou. But he still prefers older women. And that poker face thou was epic. The manga version was even more hilarious. |
Luckily no police there |
 Nice to meet you.......はじめまして。。。。。。。。。 |
TitanAnteus said: There wasn't much going on to show that though. Nudity scene was the first. Him not freaking out was the first time I thought he being an adult inside is not just a lip service like in that popular series with guy returning to his childhood to save a girl.

First, like in most cases, slaves are probably not seen as fully human so even if he did bang them it would probably be more like masturbating than adultery. Second, it's not like they are a couple so she couldn't make that much of a deal out of it, especially if she believed him."Mmmmhhh... let me compliment you and offer to buy you a present while I change the subject from the fact that you found me in bed with a loli, one half-naked, the other naked."

Satou just took advantage of her youth and inexperience. She may have been more inclined to want to believe him due to being a maiden in love, but not actually gullible. It actually sets up Satou as being very much an adult. During that scene, he unlocked skills that he used to manipulate her. It showed that he has the experience gained with being a successful working adult to control the flow of conversation and steer her line of thought towards a positive direction. thepath said: If I were the main character, there no way I would refuse free sex service with my slaves. How can anyone even refuse that ?! LOL Easy. Self-respect / not being a pedophile > letting yourself get raped both physically and mentally by an 11yo. Any 30yo adult should have higher priorities than getting laid at all costs. |

If the slave trader was like, " Hey Bro, you're cool! I like you! Buy3,Get2 Free!" though hoping to get rid of his troublemakers, it would bother me less. lol Also this : 1. a. It is still unknown how old was Arisa when she died. Arisa declared that as secret. In WN Arisa ocasionaly used so old words that Satou really questioned her age. So she may be quite old, but at the same time she may have been just maniac into old things. From the other informations it appears that there was no time shift between Satou's original and Arisa's original worlds. From one sentence she once said I know that she was great part of her life alone with no friends. 1. b. Yes, she is hard shotacon. 2. I do not remember if there is different speed of time in different worlds but I think that in current world is time a lot faster. Not sure if she reincarnated into the past of current world but it is highly possible. Because spoiler 3. Yeah slaves are quite cheap. Well "cheap". It ranges from few copper coins to few gold coins. Depends how usefull is that slave. Satou did not buy the beast girls. In WN Satou wanted to make beast girls free, but they declined that because they would be killed by people who hate demi humans. If you find master-less slaves then you can claim them as yours. In WN he just needed to pay transfer fee, which he got free because he saved the slave trader. Slave trader used this as way to push him into buying another two slaves. In WN slave trader presented him a lot of slaves and Satou was dedided to deny all of them, but Arisa persuaded Satou to buy them. 4. What is wrong with pokerface skill? Sry for my lvl of english. |
| @tetragramat: Thank you very much for answering. ^^ The pokeface pic was just because I found it very funny. Your english is fine and better than a lot of native speakers on forums, so don't worry. |
|
| Oh look. All it takes is one character to change this from Isekai Smartphone reboot into a slightly more interesting Isekai Smartphone. At least I have something to enjoy from this anime now. Thank you, Yuuki Aoi. |
| This episode intrigued me in more than one way... TsundeReaper said: GAY ------------------------ HE'S GAY ------------------------ HE'S FUCKING GAY!!! That would be an interesting development/ plot concept- too bad I doubt any anime will see it happen. |
| I just want more adventures, I'm kinda tired of the "look at all those girls and me walking across town". Even the dungeon part was a bit like that. I'm happy that we finally learned more or less how he ended up in that place though, that was interesting. I wonder why he's actually there if he's not a hero. |

| So, Lulu and Arisa have been sold as sex slaves before? I don't like this....... I'm also finding the protagonist very gay. However, the fun of this series is precisely his unexpected actions, of not caring what happens, which makes the series less cliche. |

Jalter said: So, Lulu and Arisa have been sold as sex slaves before? I don't like this....... I'm also finding the protagonist very gay. However, the fun of this series is precisely his unexpected actions, of not caring what happens, which makes the series less cliche. They were confirmed to have NOT been sold before. Arisa's explanation stated that after they were on the run they were picked up by that slave trader. They went from that slave trader to Satou. His mental reactions to the females he's run into so far also indicate that he's not gay. The only adult human he's really interacted with so far is Mosa the innkeeper though, so that may have been easy to miss. EDIT: I went back to Ep2 and took some screenshots for ya! :D "Poyopoyo wa seigi desu." is the actual line, which would directly be something like "Squishy is justice.", which would actually be better translated as "I love boobies! :D" Doesn't entirely rule out being gay, but still a strike against.  He says she's in his "strikezone" if the innkeeper was 20kg thinner. Don't think too many gay men would be thinking about an adult woman being his type. lol  BTW, she's 5'4", and I'd estimate ~H-cup and ~200lbs, so 20kg/~44lbs is not as rude as it might sound. Martha's 4'11". Arisa's stat screen did not show her height like others, but by comparison to Satou/Zena, she's ~3'10-4'2". Of note, other than his initial disbelief at Martha's bust size for her age, he really hasn't had any naughty thoughts about anyone else (beyond telling himself not to have naughty thoughts.) |

rladls717 said: Wow this contrast between Satou and Arisa. Satou who stayed not too long in this gaming world, only trying to getting himself started used to this life, still have more than half of self-conscious that this is still a game with real life or death situations. Satou, is still thinking of getting out of messy situation first, then think about whether or not he will have things to do in this world. Arisa, she stayed longer which it looks like she acts like she belongs to this world. Though she is also aware of being inside this gaming world. Knowing Satou is not of this world, knows things way more than him, she is like a veteran. On top of that she really felt responsible for her past actions with no trace of feelings that this is still a game. I think for Arisa, the life of her in this world is as well as life until she dies. It is to early to conclude things. Makes me to bring all these questions of why didn't Arisa didn't go through much level up like Satou or did she? She has these powers that even Satou isn't aware of. And still in this grave situation, with a servant that can become an idol in the other world of ..... Japan~~~. Maybe she is in a condition that forces her to take limited actions. To me, Satou doesn't really have much choice whether to take all these females he took in as slaves or not. These females are actually used to this situation for how many years it may seem? He may feels he can't just change things around him so easily without getting attention. Now im getting interested in this series. I feel like if you attract too much attention in this world by being a hero or a princess it would probably be the start of your downfall like Arisa. I feel like their world probably rebalances and nerfs those who draw too much attention so that they can reset the world again and again that's my hypothesis. A New Hero and a New Demon King everytime. |
 |
| Kinda disappointed at this episode since it started following the romance cliches... As if the first few episodes weren't cliche enough, but I still like the approach here especial with Arisa also being Japanese. Also: Used Skill: Poker face |
 |
| I like Arisa....she knows what she wants even if she is slave....and not prejudiced asshole...and especially loved what she did to those assholes in the inn..:SHE IS BEST! looks like Inn has stupid side huh...no Beast-man allowed...freaking hate this kingdom for that...Satou is freaking better that most of them.... HAHAHA!!! Pokerface is good skill it seems... |

I think you're the only one here who thinks Arisa and Lulu are the same age as Pochi and Tama 18yos above can have a body like Arisa (petite looking) wether MC saw their age or not the attraction you just implied ain't like the loli bodies of Pochi and Tama You're clearly ignorant of that real world fact if an idealistic MC from harems and RomComs are your image of "self respect" More like majority of men think with their dicks irl the opposite in fiction |

Did you watch the same anime? It say many time he not into loli, also he have skill that turn his lust down, maybe you notice if you actually watch it. beside i already read the novel so i know who he is into. also i like this quote "More like majority of men think with their dicks irl the opposite in fiction" it make your point pointless since this is an anime. Read @thepath comment (the one who got quoted first) We're talking about the comparison of irl and fiction here. You and deadman80 are the ones mixing and confusing fiction and irl I'm chill af btw |
| Actually, Arisa is 11 years old. So, yeah, turning her down was the reasonable choice. |

Any NORMAL STRAIGHT adult would definitely succumb to temptation @vangoz @KuromeJane95 I guess there's a gap behind all of your perspective. One of you based your perspective on real world & the other, isekai. From my perspective, @thepath & @TsundeReaper 's logic makes sense because it's isekai where you're not bound by real world laws & consequences. It's the primary reason why these shows are so popular, because people want to do whatever they want and escape real world consequences. While @deadman80 & @vangoz 's opinion is based on RL, i get you man. For me, I hate RL children coz they're all attention-seeking brats who will do anything, creating mess & inciting anger most of the time just so you'd drop whatever you do & yell at them. Then they'll cry and run to their parents for shelter. Truly little monsters. There is no way I'd get turned on even if I'm in the same situation as MC & most importantly, there is no way for the situation to happen in the first place. But anime lolis are deliberately drawn moe & had their behaviours modified to appease its target watchers, no matter how unrealistic they are. So, IMO it's perfectly normal & logical to think with your D in an unrealistic world where everything is unrealistically designed to satisfy your lust.. |
ProtozFeb 14, 2018 6:00 AM

| @Protoz: I am well aware of the differences between reality and anime. XD My issue is that @thepath was declaring that ALL real life males could not behave in a manner that could be described as "respectable adults" and will happily screw anyone that's female. @TsundeReaper was defending this stance. As a human who happens to be male, I find that extremely sexist, offensive, and rather scary that anyone would insist that an 11yo could possibly be a reasonable sexual partner. Arisa actually said herself that she is 11yo. Lulu's 14yo. Their ages are not in question. Since they're also human, none of the ethical workarounds that sometimes come with non-humans apply either. Isekai settings are not equivalent to "turn off your mind, morals and ethics", and as Satou is established as a modern-day respectable working adult here, including the mind, morals, and ethics that come along with that, there is no possible justification, in-story or real world, for their stance. Besides the rational arguments against Satou being a lolicon, there's a big thing that's not being taken into account... Satou is obviously a boob man, so those DFC lolis-that-look-like lolis would be his anti-fetish. XD I'd be willing to bet that if Zena had a rack like Martha's, she wouldn't have been friend-zoned entirely. lol |
|
| @deadman80 Ah I see.. your explanation cleared some things. Yes I agree that within this anime context, what you said about being isekai doesn't justify turning off morals is acceptable.. along with other proofs you mentioned, i have no counterargument at all However, my personal view on isekai in general is "when in Rome, act like Romans". Screw with RL common sense, I'm in a different world so I'll exploit it to my heart's (or D's) content within its constraints & laws of course XD (I think the reason why Konosuba is relatable to most people is because Kazuma is honest with himself.. unlike other common "noble MC protagonist" in this anime). Even if they're human, they're not RL human. Isekai human. Think about it for a moment. Our morality concepts don't necessarily apply to them, so why limiting yourself with those RL laws & morality? Perhaps this is why most people feel that noble MC protagonists are fake, which was reflected in @thepath & @TsundeReaper 's argument: thepath said: If I were the main character, there no way I would refuse free sex service with my slaves. How can anyone even refuse that ?! LOL TsundeReaper said: That's a very idealistic thing to say, and you know that's very unrealistic. Any NORMAL STRAIGHT adult would definitely succumb to temptation I'm with y'all bro. I'll lock up the door (hence preventing embarassing scene which always end up with your girl screaming BAKA!!), perhaps putting poker face to make me look like a responsible adult, then clap my hands and say ITADAKIMASU!! (because manners maketh man rite?!) XD If I were the author, I'd convert any isekai script anyone could come up with to hentai :P lol |

| best episode so far, I'm glad I decided to watch it because I was almost dropping the series, 3/5. |
 |
| This show is driving me insane. Some say it's getting progressively better, I say it's getting progressively worse. More cliches are being added and the fundamental concept is being muddled. The idea is this world is a video game, yet apparently people are summoned to it by mages or reincarnated there by God. This makes no sense. Why wouldn't God just send people to a new universe? Why would God use a shitty MMO being developed by a software company that isn't ever properly staffed? I'm sure the series will come up with some contrived reasoning behind this, but my main issue is that this complicates things unnecessarily. Most isekai simply present the concept at the beginning ("Oh, I'm in a video game now" or "Oh, God has sent me to a new world") and then the story moves on. This show is spending so much time on its basic premise that it's drawing attention away from the elements that should be important (like developing characters instead of just popping cardboard cut outs into the story). Also, I'm seriously pissed with all the slaves the main character is acquiring. He's left whatever enchantment on them that forces them to obey his every command and actively controls them with it, yet he acts all holier than thou. Then, the show has the audacity to suggest they LIKE being slaves. The protagonist says, and I quote, "They don't deserve to be treated like slaves, but they seem more at ease this way." Fuck off. No one is happy being deprived of their rights and free will. |
| I think maybe he didn't meet God because he is God. He's one of the game programmers after all. |
 |
| I have a theory Think someone or someones where doing the Hero summoning spell that summoned Satou, but where interupted by the lizard man at around 90% of completion, they probably killed the summoners. but it was to late for the Lizard men, and Satou was already summoned but because he losed his destination. he landed in a random place around. after the Lizard men dealt with the summoners, they rushed toward the location where Satou landed. Satou saw only a fraction of the army that was coming his way, and they made there intencions clear already from a range, so he used the only spell in his arsenal, the bugged and unbelanced "meteorite shower" that will kill anything and everything withing his short range. so he ended killing almost all the front army that arrived at him first. and after defeathing the only survivor of the front forces, he noticed that he had level up but only had his only one spell. so he maximized his only spell and tested it at an seeminglly deserted valley, where he ended killing all the main army and his artillery and almost himself included. |

LF2005 said: He was lv310 before and after that 2nd meteor shower. So either he didn't kill anything with it or whatever it was gave no experience. The experience bar also didn't move.he maximized his only spell and tested it at an seeminglly deserted valley, where he ended killing all the main army and his artillery and almost himself included. |
