Heh, it seems Hajime is quite fond of that kid now.

The other fight between that strange woman and the adventurers didn't impress me much. It's still the usual gimmicky magic shit and dialogues similar to other fights. Pretty mediocre episode although I suppose this one had a more serious tone than a few of the more recent ones.

another multiple perspective that adapted bad. i think this episode is hard to watch with ease. if they start from kouki party perspective within 12 minute and then hajime join after that pile bunker attack, it will more better. after that before hajime battle scene start, we can see 3-4 minute flashback about why hajime come to save them. now we have good flashback, the rest is just to watch that battle scene with majin until reach ending

eh, my timeline is skipped too much? well of course we must skip some scene because their time limit is 24 minutes but with my timeline i'm sure you will not experience juggling scenes too much. unless we talk about toaru S3, it will be different because they have 3 protagonist and 3 main timeline

We are still seeing the horrible usage of CGI.

Pretty 'meh' episode. Next week is the last episode.

Myu was adorable and seeing Hajime being fond of her was quite pleasant.

But other than that, it was mostly just a meh episode for me. Though at this rate, I am kind of glad that this show's ending next week.

Mmhh... The pacing was honestly weird.. You just don't know what is Kosuke's story and what is actually happening at that exact moment.

Also they literally showed and said that Suzu died and a moment later she's back alive and regenerated.

I also believe there are supposed to be many more classmates? They excluded the whole class-discord stuff when they were hiding. There were like two fractions: the ones that wanted Kouki to agree to the offer and the ones that didn't.
They had this huge conflict, that also showed more of the personalities, and originally Kosuke went to Meld at that moment, not when they were fighting the demons.

Plus they left out how Hajime and co. went down the dungeon. Now it just seemed like they fell from the sky out of nowhere, right after they were talking jn the office. Maybe they will show it next week? I sure hope so. Otherwise this will just be another minus for the story telling

The only thing i can think about is that the anime is definitely rushed, from i had heard from the director and the author.They also squandered a significant portion of the series' budget during the aborted lead-up to it coming out in 2018.
Its really a shame cause i really like the story as it is now, imagine if it was done better...

Cute profile pic btw :3.

If I remember correctly, that's kinda how it went in the novel. I'm not quite sure tho.. been some time since I've read

Though, it was fun seeing his friends struggle in a dungeon he cleared long ago, I had to skip certain parts of the episode. Pretty generic, especially the dialogue, oh and what a surprise he actually showed up in the end.

Highlight of the episode was their little race in the beginning. The harem and the humvee gave off strong Highschool of the Dead vibes.

This show is about Hajime (and omorashi usagi).
I kinda predicted he will save his former crew in a some way but only message delivery scene was really necessary.
Rest is messed flashback and I would not miss it if it did not exist at all. Prune to oblivion.
20 minutes wasted for nothing this week.

Have so much laugh when Hajime literally become a Papa . That was the best scene of this episode for me.

I didn't like Arifureta when it comes to fight scene. Its simply means bad CG + cringy soundtracks are incoming

Awful CGI monsters aside, Hajime will finally be meeting his classmates again! I'm actually excited about next week's episode lol.

How the hell isn't Suzu dead? I really thought she was dead. Kaori must be more awesome than I thought.

Hajime in full Papa mode lmao.

And as always, a pleasure to see Shea being Shea.

this episode dragged worse than the other bad episodes...and it feels like watching a bad copy/paste of the 1st episode of Goblin Slayer with that other group (especially with way too similar character design) minus the controversial stuff. also that girl shoulda been dead
i just hope MC tells the group to eff off next week

CGI abomination has come yet again to terrorize innocent anime watchers. Ended up just skipping through most of this episode, the fight scenes have no tension to them at all. But at least Suzu's 'ded'-face was hilarious lol.

Myuu at least was cute as always, so there's that. Can't wait for next weeks' thrilling conclusion to this shitshow of an adaptation.

They shortened some moments from light novels and removed some dialogues like ''What is this harem development'' and more. CGI looks bad as usual,but this episode was very enjoyable. I can't wait for final episode to see Hajime beating demon and many badass things from light novels. Anime adaptation have completely butchered up plot,bad CGI animation,some character designs are generic,but at least we have our waifus Yue the loli vampire,Shea the bunny girl,Tio the lewd dragon,Kaori the holy girl and Shizuku the swordswoman and one of most badass protagonists,Hajime Nagumo,also known as Edward Accelerator Snake. I can't wait also Kaori clinging to Hajime in romantic way too.
There is no bad waifu,only bad anime.

I think this was my least favorite episode of the season. I skipped most of it since I really don’t care about his classmates. We already know they are in trouble. Do we really have to see a boring fight to get the point across?

Y’know, i really keep trying to like this show, because it does have some decent aspects... but it keeps making it SO difficult 😣 I can ignore the ultra-crappy CGI, and can pretend that the dragon sodomy was somehow, someway, maybe, possibly relevant to the story, but the non-stop poor pacing and inexplicable failure of characters to do ANYTHING in a logical or timely fashion is just infuriating to me 😤
The hero’s party is in desperate need of rescue or they’re all gonna die? Why don’t we all sit down and chat about it for awhile! 😁
The demon is countering the hero’s most powerful attacks by repeatedly healing the monsters? Well, let’s have half of our party stand around doing nothing instead of attacking her AND the monsters simultaneously! ☺️
About to land the finishing blow on said demon? Hey, let’s hesitate and consider her feelings even though she’s 100% without a doubt trying to kill us all! 😋

😑 SMH...

This was bad to begin with, as I don't really care about Hajime's classmates from the start. And the emergence of CGI monsters added fuel to the fire.

To be heroes and yet succumb to such situations, they're such trash, and to Hajime, this is the norm after being coldly-treated all this time.

And yet, another time, to save their ass once and for all.

One more episode to go, let this farce end sooner.

This time EVEN stronger CGI attacked. Adventurers flee at the sight of it. And so do the viewers.

Kind of skipped most of the episode, because why would I care about characters that got like 10 minutes of screentime combined?

Also I love how the whole episode literally screeches from the start that it is there just to setup obvious cliffhanger.

One of the most interesting episodes since Hajime became OP.
I couldn't wait for his badass entrance!

If it wasn't for this CGI, this anime could have been so much better. But i still enjoyed it.

NoHeart said:
Maybe the whole thing about this series is the title for episode 13 "the best at being the worst"... sounds like a punch line for me.

el_morris said:

It's paradoxical how easy was to hate this anime, but at the same time how easy is to enjoy it exactly for how bad it is.
In other words, the actual target for this production seems to be "the hater" within us.
However, to know if that was on purpose or not, it's another question.



Now, lets wait for the last episode of this hater's cake.

lol I really love Hajime and his 'no fucks given' face. It only took his daughter and friends to sway him to help in the end...

Also don't understand how one of the girls look like she died and then came back.. no explanation wtf.

Also a random new villain in the penultimate episode... I wonder how they will wrap this one up with one episode to go.

The show really has come full circle though.. going to end in the same place it all started in ep1. I will be sad to see it end as I enjoyed it quite abit along with Maou-sama Retry. But time to look forward to some new anime I guess.

It's really hard to care for a fight on a lower level than we have gotten used to for eleven episodes. Swords, magic? Where are the machine guns and vehicles? And who are these people? But let's get on with the script:


*Earth party shows up, crams in an episode of presence to make up for us hardly seeing them at all the whole series*

REASON FOR HELPING ACQUIRED

Kosuke: "Please, help!"
Gun guy: "Just like that? Don't you know I must treat you like DIRT first? LIKE DIRT!"

Finally ends up helping anyway. In the end, throws in something subtle that shows that he DOES care, but he just won't show it openly.

You attack someone for pointing out the trash elements of this anime. Incredible. I saw your first post about how great this anime was. I ignored it, because you're just stating your opinion, and there's always that one guy with no taste. But then you pick on others for not sharing your opinion? Incredible.

First of all, others should get to say what they think about the episode without you picking on them.

Second, it's your fawning over the anime that is ridiculous, not others noticing what trash it is.


"Great episode, that entrance by hajime at the end wow"

Incredible.
