Glad I stuck to my 3 episode rule and didn't drop it after the 2nd episode as I'd intended. I get the humor now and I'm really enjoying it. First Chuni that doesnt annoy me since Okabe.

I think the whole story is going to a good path. But, I think the authors must explore more the other characters, like the shaders or Cid's sister, because we saw that Cid's sister is a very strong swordswoman, in the beggining. However, I didn't see her anymore...

As always, the anime had a sense of humor, so I'm really enjoying watching it. I hope that a 2nd season will be released.

PS: I'm brazilian, but I worked hard to write it. I hope you understood what I said here lol

How can anyone be enjoying this anime? It literally introduces 40 characters and does not develop any of them. The worldbuilding is pathetic, the comedy is completely regular, the protagonist is pathetic 90% of the time, and this harém is one of the most forced haréns in anime, for no reason, there are hundreds of girls completely loyal and devoted to the protagonist. What a shame, I was really hoping this would be a great anime.

in some ways it is kind of regular, but for whatever reason, i haven't decided yet, it has piqued my interest. it's all good if you don't like it but i actually enjoy it quite a bit.

This is the equivalent of shitposting an isekai, casually doing the tropes off-screen while the main character just dicks around. And I love it!

Dude! I love this episode! The part when Cid sits on his very own throne and he pretends to take a shit so that his friends leave him behind. Nu was cool! She was just sweet but then got killer look after killing that one guy who pretends to be part of the Shadow Garden!

Okay onto the next fake relationship that Cid has to hang out with, Sherry Barnett! Oh yeah I'm gonna feel bad for her if she's gets rejected by him.

it's funny to see you blame a character that doesn't suit your taste, if you don't like the main character, then don't watch it.
every anime has its own character, it doesn't have to be what you want, if you don't like it then the market isn't for you, and doesnt mean the show is bad, im pretty enjoy this show and comedy
I already said I’ve dropped the series, why are you telling me to do, what I have already done?

Figured it was about time to remind you what you've been missing

I like how easily Cid comes to the conclusion that Alexia must be the killer.

Looks like Cid is accidentally adding another girl to his harem...

main guy cid never shows any ability to the public, in a moment like the tournament I feel like he could of shown off a bit of skill, I dont understand why in the scenario of being reborn and been gifted magical power he would want to go back into the shadow and nightlife of just killing bandits and portray a side character role in the eyes of the public, in moments where we see his skills and abilities it doesn't quiet add up for the missed opportunities that we would think are cool for him to shock the publics expectancies

Watching from episode 1 to 20.. i kinda get that cid is acting cool badass and smart ..but he is kinda dumb and dense.. or i could say nerd but not simp..he still believe that alpha and the others are acting for his made up stories..say, why would he stole 1 coin when in actuality he can just say that he want to use it.. as i say, he is dense even if alpha and others say that his made up story is true, he would think that it's for his sake to not embarrassing him..

Iris is talking pretty big for someone who couldn't do what Alpha did for the city. I can't even blame Cid for thinking that Alexia would kill people on the streets after what she did to him.

I think he's still partly treating his chuunibyo as that, even though events starting from his reincarnation to the present seem to have conformed to his performances, and expectations and it's still continue to do so. I am at loss on how he seems to treat his made up bullshit about the cult from way back is still BS for him now when it's actually true or that his shadow organization is still actively fighting for their original agenda, and he still treats it like they or him playing along to his/their delusions, or maybe he's so far lost in his own delusions being atomic and all that?

So the shadow garden characters don't actually do anything on screen besides one shot goons and fawn over Cid, huh? What is this show building towards. Stop introducing new characters when you have 12 others in the wings that haven't even got LINES yet.

@tofei yes I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. The man is clearly insane, and the show seems to be aware of that (him hitting his head on the rock before dying). Also, he seems to be writing the rules of the world as he goes, creating Alphas back story, Cult of Diablos, even finding the secret base in episode 2 on a map by accident. The OP does show what looks like an old tired version of him in the TV Reflection so I'm REALLY hoping some deconstruction of the shit we've seen so far starts happening.
