| Aw yeah tournament arc let's goooo.... but then a curveball is thrown at us at the end there. Will we still get to see Cid battle his way to the top in the tournament, will he go after Rose, maybe accomplish both at the same time?? I guess we'll find out next week. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| The English-localized names are so creative. Mundane Mann lol |
| WELL... that was an ending lol. I like Average Youngman, he's pretty goated. It'd be in character too if Cid manages to drop a link to Shadow somehow throughout the tourney. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Mundane Mann Perv Asshat Imatry Nottaloos Goldy the Effervescent Garden Kraken Baldy the Ten Year Vintage So many fucking gems in one episode. |
 |
| Tournament Arc is here!! Lmao that Battle Power Dragon Ball Z reference. |
 |
| Finally the MC is going to show his power in a tournament. |
 |
| Annerose seems to be very strong if she is able to see Cid's movements, it is really awkward to see Gamma tripping all the time but also funny at the same time. Was a good episode, Im starting to like the show more and more. |
| Lol participating in a tournament while making yourself look much weaker and destroying people, how amusing it is to see it xD He's basically a smurf having fun destroying bronzes |
 |
| Mundane man is probably the best name to compete on a tournament like this hahah I am honestly so hyped for the next episode, this tournament will be fun. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Idk why but I've actually thought of things like Cid. Like being super weak then beating everyone up lol. Its fun to actually see this but whats with the names this episode? Mundane man and Perv Asshat. Ah yes what a way to name someone. |
 |
| They're finally back with the fun non-serious episodes. Some of the episodes before episode 15 are just plain boring stuff. I'll be fine if the serious episodes are a bit interesting but the fact at hand is it's not interesting nor enjoyable in the slightest. When Cid goes off in episode 14 is dope. However, the rest of the episode single-handedly lowers my rating of this show from an 8 to a 6. I'm glad to see the show is returning to what it's best at, comedy. |
| Average Youngman, certainly a creative alias huh. |

| Guys, Annerose last name is also pun - Nichtsehen in TL while in Japanese it's Fushianasu. |
 |
| Well, now that I catch up, time to let this airing finish and then see the rest, been a good few days binge watching, would like to see more of Violet, doubt it will be soon. A negative I have about this anime, such a wide range of characters for Shadow Garden, but there is no solid backstory for most, we barely see them develop in what they are today, which is kinda a waste IMO and could have made them far better, rather than just being a mysterious bunch with some childhood flashbacks. |
 |
| Dude the moment we have all been waiting for. I swear this series just keeps getting funnier and cringe inducing at the same time. |
| I thought this was gonna be Iris's arc based on the OP, but I guess it's Rose's. |
 |
| I hope Mundane Mann give a great show. And did the president turn into yandere or something? She llike cid but I dont know if she will ever go that far |

| watching him sandbag the competition is an absolute hoot. 10/10 |
| Cid decides to enter the Bushin festival, naturally in disguise, so he can go from zero to hero, the background character way. While not much happens plot-wise in this episode, we do get the development with Rose at the end, which continues from the end of the last episode, where she got some sort of seal appearing on her chest. The next episode will likely feature Cid not only going after Rose and saving her once again but also going to the main section of the Bushin festival tournament and showing his power bit by bit. I fall more and more in love with this show, as I not only love Cid as a character and adore the premise of the show, but the jokes, humor, and generally making fun of a lot of isekai tropes/power-fantasy tropes just really entertain me. I was laughing and smiling throughout most of the episode, and already cannot wait for the next one to come. The show is still keeping me very engaged and into it with its great mix of comedy, action, story, and characters  |
Darraya55 said: I wasn't sure if it was that blonde guy from early on since like you said he and the other guy were forgettable (those are real background characters unlike Cid). Regardless, that guy is going to regret betting against Mundane Mann if he goes through with that lol.viperhc said: Apparently he is one of Cid's friend two friends in the academy, he's honestly so forgettable that I genuinely forgot who he was and had to confirm if he was one of his friends or not, which is honestly very fitting considering that Cid described them as background character A and background character B.Btw, who is that guy that wanted money from Cid for betting? A friend or just another background character? |
| Mundane Mann HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Cid's disguise is 10/10 meme worthy. What an epic name. Truly a fitting name for the most weakest man. Hunch back and a face that screams "I'm so done with life" hahaha!!! Can't wait to see Mundane Mann whoop everyone's ass in the festival. |
 |
| There isn't much like this show out there, it's a got a very unique and whimsical feel to it, this whole "not meant to be taken seriously" undertone, but delivers epic and stoic scenes time and time again. The MC is really fun as well, plus the narrative is rather interesting for an action/comedy series. |
| Ironic how he answered the door slouched but he needs to "pretend". |
 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. |
| Am I the only one that I think is time for Shadow to recruit one more for Shadow Garden? |

kljy said: OK, that is something, but still, you get what I m saying right? Solid development for each of these 7 girls, would have been better for sure, like dedicate an episode to each at least, because otherwise, they just dont feel that much main characters to me at all.Playcool said: There's a short series that each episodes came out following the main anime episode release and the mobile game. Lots of characters have their background story told in the game and the short.there is no solid backstory for most, we barely see them develop in what they are today, Here's the anime short https://myanimelist.net/anime/53406/Kagejitsu A pretty smart way to do it because they can't cover all characters in the anime, but lacks of promotion made fans missed it out |

kljy said: The LN could have included bonus stories to develop that, for each volume, or an extra sidestories volume to handle that, considering what I have seen, I doubt such a thing exists, either way I might get going to the source material after the anime ends.Playcool said: OK, that is something, but still, you get what I m saying right? Solid development for each of these 7 girls, would have been better for sure, like dedicate an episode to each at least, because otherwise, they just dont feel that much main characters to me at all. I get it. But that's pretty much impossible to do. The best they can do is inserting flashbacks here and there |
