anime version of "I am atomic" is more like nuclear fusion reaction from the pinkish purple color (it was deep blue purple in the LN) to "barrier" thingy which function like magnetic confinement. also shadow nuked the sky to make storm go away

I am really sceptic about how the whole city was covered in range. I mean it's already broken but it still give goosebumps but covered the whole city and how he laughed made it seem shallow as if they were trying to do something which can be as cool as "I AM ATOMIC" but were too desperate. I mean, I absolutely loved everything else about this show and especially this episode, it was quite an treat but it's just that peculiar part which felt not like him. I didn't got any goosebumps and anything like how I got it every time, the moment he he fights, especially that.
I am ranting but considering how good they made it even if they deviated from manga, I know it's based on LN but I absolutely loved the manga and did not read but heard it's even better.
I apologise since I am not able to get my point across and it is coming out as ranting but yeah! Also, I hope they announce second season since I loved this anime the most considering everything it aired around, aside from Bluelock although I incline more towards this.
Overall 9 | Story 8 | Animation 8 | Sound 9 | Enjoyment 10

Deym. What an incredible fight scene. They just leveled buildings. Iris just going mad on Shadow. I kinda feel bad for rose, that even that burger that is attached to Cid is gone.

Definitely a fun show.

so ill shut up lol
no offense but did you watch the show 1,5X speed or while doing something else? I think you just don't get the show which is understandable, you can easily find posts about not understanding the story in every weekly discussion. As someone who followed the story since "I am taepodong", the anime is indeed quite confusing if you don't fully pay attention, moreover they also loves throwing details for LN readers. an example : I doubt many people here realizes that the monster girl from episode 5 actually the daughter of villain from episode 3  

whether not i fully understand the story isn't the point

the point is its still a very safe/no risk 

"Kirito clone" 

"no one can touch us" 

"all my enemies are dumb and the ones that aren't i can still one shot if i want to" 

"girls can't die"

"generic medievelish setting"

anime

i like risk/unsafe/things that people will find offensive and i guess as well im just done with Kirito clone isekai, hype wise

i like to see characters have to work for the win

even if the story is actually on some galaxy brain shit, that won't save it for me

10/10 episode, definitely the best in the series, particularly in terms of the animation. The pacing was great, and we got to see substantial development for many of the characters, and a lot of anime original scenes showcasing some of the characters from earlier in the series.

This series as a whole has been consistently entertaining, and between the pacing, the sound design, and the series composition, it has consistently shown how to do a Light Novel adaptation right.

Overall, it was satisfying ending to this season, hopefully we'll get a second season soon (this episode also seems to be setting up the series for a continuation, so it's very likely).

my wednesdays will be empty without cid's edgy attitude😔 the last fight was so good but honestly iris was cockblocking or in this case sword blocking shadow vs beatrix; personally i feel like the action would've been more cooler w just cid n beatrix. every ep in this show had atleast one highlight n for last ep it's gotta be "run? who's running? where?" like ahshhsisjaja he was really feeling himself when he said that. hoping for S2 soon 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

What a phenomenal finale. Nexus made this one of the best anime adaptations of a LN ever, without a doubt. Consistently respecting and improving on the source material.
It's surely one of the greats, but I wouldn't call it the greatest. I'd say Mushoku and 86 did better.

“One of”≠the greatest. You literally quoted it idk how you got this wrong. And to tell THE 86 guy that eminence isn’t better is hilarious. Mfs just be quoting for no reason on here.

That's the most surface level interpretation of the show I've seen. I kid you not, there's some really good, great and fantastic characters and character arcs in this show. What started off as an isekai parody has turned out to be one of the genuinely best isekai you'll ever see.

Great fighting between Shadow, Iris, and Beatrix. Even though it was one sided it was still entertaining to watch. While Iris may think that Shadow is a bad guy I'm not quite sure why Beatrix fought other than for sport and maybe to help out Iris. Speaking of Beatrix, her and and Alpha never met, I wonder if they even knew or sensed that they were in close proximity to each other and if their meeting would've been friendly or hostile? Beatrix did keep the wrapper that she got from Cid so maybe they will meet again down the road.

Speaking of wrapper, poor Rose with having to lose everything including her memento from Cid. She lost her father too so I hope she meets Cid/Shadow soon again and that her sacrifices are worth it in the end. I think Rose was the best girl but it was not easy choice to make.

The pink haired girl was Sherry right? Guessing she'll be back seeking revenge but it's too bad she misunderstood what happened and that her father was a villain. There are so many other characters (girls) in this show like Alexia, Claire, the numerous Greek letter girls like Epsilon, Gamma, etc. that it's easy to get overwhelmed but I think most of them had decent screen time. I understand that Claire will get more screen-time in the future.

The ending definitely left things open so I feel confident a season 2 will be announced at some point, hopefully soon. Overall I give this a 9/10 for providing great entertainment, intriguing characters, great comedy, action, drama, and suspense.

have you ever seen an anime like this?
where you can tell that the studio did everything for you to enjoy the show?
that they worked their asses off out of respect for the audience.
I'm seriously impressed this time.

Made him more evil and destructive than in the manga. He showed restraint and didn't cause untold damage and death. As well as showed himself to not be a true enemy.

This episode tipped that on it's head. Yes, it looked cool but lost some of the weight and importance of the end fight.

So with all that happens i am trying to figure out, does Cid actually know all thats going on with his minions or he is just playing his own game. alot of times he shown that he was shocked about the actions of his minions but played like he actually knew what was going on. does he infact know or is that playing dumb not just an act?

girls do died, Alpha killed Millia the daughter of Viscount Grease. You got what you want if you treat Alexia as the main character not Cid. Looks like shonen anime is more of your jam

Yeah anime is following the light novels
no, not even LN look like this, the author really use his authority in this anime to make it more great and even spoil vol 5 with a hint and give us somewhat hint about sherry that not even appear again after her arc....

Perv Asshat has failed in provoking war between Oriana and Midgar, and making a run for his life, and Cid finally unleashes his Shadow origins against Beatrix, which she stands little to no chance against the formidable leader of Shadow Garden. Plus, Princess Iris herself joining the fight using the mythril sword artifact, this battle is full worth of hype trying to keep Cid entertained. Rose stuck in a stalemate between 2 factions, and Alpha giving her 2 choices to showcase herself: to save her own Oriana Kingdom or join Perv Asshat's faction, it's clear that what she is aiming for in the first place: to join Shadow Garden. Beatrix has managed to pace herself towards Shadow, and Iris is just following up on the possible openings she can find for an opportunity to render Shadow vulnerable. But whatever they do, they just could not take him down.

Playtime is over, and of course, other than Cid's evil sinister laugh, not forgetting Cid's showcase "I am Atomic" which is just only for show, which if this was for pranks (which it was), Cid definitely succeeded in his mission. With Cid's Shadow name now known to everyone, even Sherry has an obsession with him for a killing spree. Life goes back to normal, and while Shadow Garden operates like usual, more adventures are in store with Rose coming to Shadow Garden's base in Alexandria, throwing away all that she's known for in her past and assuming under a new identity: No. 666, as Cid plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to ring the nearing of the end.

What a show. Definitely one of the best adapted LNs of the modern age. Praying for Season 2 to roll around soon.

Haven't seen a good adaptation as this in a long time. They really upped the OG storyline with a remastered twist of badassery.

That finale threeway fight is gonna end up in the best anime fights of all time.
Man those white screens gave some Rakudai no Kishi vibes. Hope they adapt the further arcs too cause they just goona end up better in here.


Also we need the prologue of how Shadow came to be as he is now with those powers.(He defeated a what dragon???)

I AM ATOMIC!! is the best eargasm you could get.
You can easily play through their mobile game (not hard) and their side story is literally the time skip of the seven leaving and Cid defeating the dragon to obtaining Alexandria.  It's pretty cool to see some behind the scenes.
