| Damn, this episode is sad considering how a village can become so tragic. Will faces the reality of their world and its cruelty. Looks like the episode continously focused on Will and Meneldor's relationship as well, perhaps one of the more complex ones in the show. |
 |
| Well, it's not bad that Will gets to spend some time with Menel. He seems like a good dude. He's gonna lead the way while Will will fight the demons. Will has studied quite a lot. No wonder he knows so much and then he's so strong above all. Then, that poor girl and all the people of that village. Will is really kind. The conversation b/w Menel and the granny Marple was so wholesome. But, every soul must leave at some point. At least, they were able to help so many people with that. And, then we got to see Menel's backstory and Will has finally made his first friend. That's so cool. |
 |
| That child scene and granny's farewell was pretty sad. Good for Will, he finally made a friend. |
 |
| That was a great episode. The two of them finally became friends, I hope. I do wonder what kind of power will he acquire after being accepted to be in the Lantern Goddess' blessings through Will. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| It's not even been that long since Will started his journey but he already has a fair share of idea how horrific the situation is for those attacked by demons. And finally Menel opens up to Will, he too had his hardships in the past though now he's willing to trust him. |
 |
| Well.. looking at the convo at the end of the episode i can wonder why some people would call it yaoi bait.. But an anime with this good world building really can't be a yaoi imo.. Animation was pretty meh but it's probably gonna be same throughout the show.. guess we will have to get used to it.. Looks like next episode is a Recap.. |
| Pretty good and emotional episode. Will managed to make a friend and is going to continue his journey. |

phantomfandom said: This anime has quite a religious atmosphere, it's almost like it's funded by some Church. I'd like to say that's just a "conspiracy theory" but meh, I don't really care since it has a good story. P.S. I either agree or disagree. phantomfandom said: Meanwhile Will Menel: I'd probably be whoring my self out Will: You do have a pretty face LOL I actually cringe from this scene and I wasn't brave enough to even say it on the forum. ArcV7 said: Am i the only one who find this super rushed ? Probably yes. I enjoyed the episode quite well that it felt like time just passed by so quickly. |

eplipswich said: Yeah. I hoped for a female char - with the elves. First thought (before he got introduced and only knowing him from OP) that this was a female character lol. :DWell, Will isn't wrong. Menel does have a pretty face :p |
| Not a bad episode, most enjoyable I have seen soo far. Still the animation bothers me 4/5. |
| Feels like I say this every week, but this show is criminally slept on. Did anyone else get brother Nier vibes from Menel?? |

ArcV7 said: I feel the same. I feel thay it doesn't take enough time for each scene. It's unfortunate because the story itself has been really good imo, but a lot of possible emotional scenes didn't get me because things are moving fast and I'm still processing the situations.Am i the only one who find this super rushed ? |

| Another episode that fails to make any progress to the story... |
phantomfandom said: I'm not sure about the latter but yeah, it has quite the religious tone which sometimes puts me off. For the moment at least it doesn't lean too heavy on that front.This anime has quite a religious atmosphere, it's almost like it's funded by some Church. |

Well, no one asked for your "weekly" opinion either, so touché... |
| Tragic episode. Will finally made his very first friend, Menel :D |

| Everything was great and I really enjoyed the episode until I saw ... the fated ... "recap episode" at the next week's preview :( Luthandorius said: Yeah. I hoped for a female char - with the elves. First thought (before he got introduced and only knowing him from OP) that this was a female character lol. :D Please no! The most awesome thing that this anime has is that it's not an harem. We don't need yet another isekai harem, Saihate no Paladin feels like such a breath of fresh air after all this time. |
| Alright, Will finally succeeded to release the poor village from the demon control. Its an easy takes. As expected, many people died and some others turned into a nasty being. Menel might be uneasy with those view. But Will with all the lesson and experience from his parents could overcome the situations and brought them to the light of Gracefeel. Menel and Will met Marple, which ofc already turned out as the ghost, to gave them all one last chance of lecture, and an objective. Surprise how human could hold out their soul into such a form like Marple. But ofc all the question remain unanswered because the person herself already went into the afterlife. Well, at least with all of the fast things goin on, finally, officially, with a pleasure, Will acquired a new fried. Yeah, a believed friend. Good for you, Will. He finally believed. But too bad, the next is actually a recap, which somehow giving me a little bad taste on my mouth. Alright, then.... |

| This show feels like it could have been a lot better, it had potential, but it was ruined by lackluster production. The emotional moments don't land well even though the built up is genuine, seems like a sign of shitty direction. |
| The crying scenes in this anime does not feel like the characters are crying at all, I feel like the voice acting is off, while lacking tears. |

| "I would probably be whoring myself out in some back alley" "You do have a pretty face" Um, excuse me? lmao.... |
| A meh episode. 5/10 might just be what this anime is. |
| Menel is such a tsundere, and our paladín is such a half-elf killer. Dreystah said: There is a lot of gay tension between Menel and Will now, kind of weird for an anime that's focused a lot on religion up until this point. Don't worry about it. Gracefeel is a fujoshi so she won't mind. |

| Good episode, but I feel like the show could have been a whole lot better. The presentation just feels kind of bland. The story is good, but the visuals and I guess voice acting too does not do it justice. "You do have a pretty face." Ey yo Will, I mean that's true, but that ain't the right time to say that lmao. Will should take a look at a mirror though. |
 |
| Contrary to a lot of opinions here, I don't think the problem is the voice acting. I like Will's voice actually and the overall voice acting is fine. The big problem here is the animation, it feels off in a lot of times. That added to the overall fast pace and poor direction makes the emotional scenes kinda empty. I love the character design, though. And as I said, I like the voice acting and the story is really good, so even though the animation is weird, this anime is still pretty good. An interesting fact are Will's inner dialogues. Like how he almost apologized because of his habits from previous life, or like when he mentions how hard must be for Menel to have a long life spam and see all his dearest people die while he is still young and will probably live for some hundred years. I feel like this side of races like Elf are not mentioned pretty often in anime. At least not the ones I usually watch. Will is cute and voice by a woman, Menel is pretty to the point a lot of people thought he was a girl. I see what they are doing here and I honestly don't dislike it. Might even ship depending on how they develop. What I like about this show, is that even though our main character is extremely strong, is not that he just got teleported to another world, got super powers out of nowhere and no one can match him. We had some episodes of build up to show his growth and why he is so strong now. People may say that an entire cour should be right way to go if they wanted to really develop him, but considering the cost to make the anime longer, asking for that would be the same as asking for an even weaker animation. Was starting to get hyped only to know next episode is a recap. Sad. |
| Damn anime has a concept that's different from the cliche dumbfuck or evil goddess tropes and people are calling it a cult propaganda or some shit wtf. What's wrong with people? It's a bit disappointing that the next episode's gonna skip next week :( Really enjoying this. |
| I also felt that it was rushed. Menel just sort of jumped into his breakdown with his grandma so fast, it felt like they cut out much of the build-up. His shift in personality and opinion on Will seemed to come way too quick. I don't know if this was something from the source material, or the show is trying to fit in too much within 12 episodes, but I couldn't get invested because things just happened so quickly and we didn't get time to process it. To be honest, I'm considering dropping the show. I like the story, I like the characters, I love the lore. But the execution's been pretty meh, and I want to make room in my schedule for more satisfying shows. |
| He found a cute first friend, I wouldn't mind if they were both homo. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
During this episode, it was possible to see the difficulties that William would go through when he saw that this world is not only full of adventures |
| Will doesn't have good eyes. The best thing about Menel is not his face, but dem thicc thighs. So far, this anime has been valuing life and death, literally, with a Goddess. Many themes that are supposed to be subtle are presented right on the face instead, somehow making everything lukewarm. There's this freshness compared to the average isekai, but dullness at the same time as a fantasy. Hopefully this is not the best the show has to offer. |

MenchiK1 said: Going down hill fast and a recap episode is not going to help :( Was it really ever going uphill? That being said I couldn't agree more |
| This show is actually one of the good shows of this season. I really hope this show gets the recognition it deserves and it gets a s2 |
on 
| The pacing is really killing any emotional impact these events could have had: Menel's 180 on Will came way too quick, then his breakdown with Marple came about way too quick and she left way too easily. The subtlety in these scenes, and the general "tell, don't show" nature of this episode was a big disappointment. It also doesn't help that the story is becoming more generic ever since Will left the ruins. It's a shame, as I do think this could still work very well with better pacing, but it looks like this is gonna be butchered by only being given a cour when it very clearly needed two for the story it's trying to tell. |
| The pacing of the show is so slow, by the time this gets going it will be finished, it really needs a split cour. |
