Unfortunately, it turns out he's nothing but a measly Talker–a job with no combat skills whatsoever. Undaunted, Noel sets out to establish the strongest clan in all the land, using his silver-tongued Talker skills to unite assassins and heroes under his leadership.

| Episode 1 To start things off, Noel's backstory about how he became a Seeker, and pretty much he's fulfilling his grandfather's dying wish. But it turns out Noel is all talk and no action as he just doesn't have what it takes to be a Seeker, and instead he's a Talker, the weakest job around. Even so, he uses his tongue to run the clan as he's determined to build the strongest clan ever using his god-tier speaking skills. Things don't exactly get off to the best of starts when Lloyd and Tanya decide to go off on their own. This feels like I'm watching Let This Grieving Soul Retire (which are both by GREE and airing this season), but unlike with that show the MC is a weakling in a position of power by choice, all while this has a more serious feel to it as opposed to a more lighthearted one. Anyway, this show's production values had me skeptical about this show, and indeed that's how I'm feeling about this as I just didn't feel engaged all that much with this show. |
| "Talker" is right. Way too much inane dialogue. I found this show deeply unpleasant right from the get-go, and I'm not even sure why. I might give it one more episode to change my mind, but I almost dropped this one in the first twelve minutes. |
| Not a promising start at all...the MC is an edgelord to start out with, before even getting screwed over...then he supposedly gets screwed over at the end. There was basically nothing compelling about this first episode. |
| Well, at least it's not a standard D&D style fantasy world, although it has similarities. I was okay with the first episode, but I can't make any commitment until the cast settles in place. The main character certainly isn't going to carry the show for me. The goal of being the strongest edgelord ever (or being a pop idol adventuring group) isn't much of a plot, so something more than that would be nice. |
| Ah, our edgelord garbage for the season. All of his edgelord behaviour is undercut but his luscious eyelashes. |
| The title had me thinking this was going to be a comedy, but no funny business can withstand this level of EDGE. Still, not terrible so far, though there's a long way to go. I kind of like that he and the guy he didn't get along with end up on the same side. |

| Those eyelashes made me hope he'd turn out to be a girl at some point, which would at least have been interesting, but no, he's shirtless later in the episode. |
| The manga has incredible art and the MC comes up with some pretty convoluted schemes so it's actually quite an entertaining read. I wish this received the budget that Wistoria had, the designs in this anime look like a budget knockoff of the original.   |

| @MenchiK1 He has to fail 3 death saves. |
| This guy makes the torturing rapist from "Redo of a Healer" blush with his edge-lordiness. I think this one is a drop... |
| What in the world is this show? >< |
| Yeah, since the title of this doesn't seem to be The Greatest Former Edgelord Learns Humility And Forgiveness To Save The World And His Immortal Soul, I think it's just gonna be cringey badasserooney all the way down. I'm out. |

Really you're all out? But it just got interesting, this guy got Griffith levels of determination to achieve his goals. (well almost Griffith would have slept with mafia clown guy)Hot girl likes me, no time for love baby, in fact I'm going to sell you into slavery and turn a profit on your ass. And Damn the way she reemed strong guy.If this is only ep 2 can't wait to see how they try to top this much edginess. ;)
| @MenchiK1 I'm still in. If we're this far gone by episode 2 this should reach some truly astounding depths. |

| Yeah I'm still in too. Not sure if this will be a hate watch or so bad it's good watch yet. |

| Episode 2 Noel is using his sharp tongue to make a deal with the slave trader Finocchio, and yeah, he's throwing everybody under the bus. I don't like the direction this show is going seeing that Noel's mouth is much more dangerous than it should. Anyway, I'll give it one more episode, but seeing that there are several other run-of-the-mill shows that are at least worth my time that I'm not likely to watch beyond that. |
| There are some serious structural support issues with her outfit. Must be some serious double sided tape going on. He was more likable this episode because he didn't do any real edgelording. |

| Wow that town had a lot of travelers, they must have had to time travel several hundred years to find that hotel room. |

@zkeleton By its design, it looked like a love-hotel room.
| @marklebid Nah, everything wasn't covered in plastic. |

| Whew! That was close. He almost had a redeeming feature as a character there for a moment. Good thing he reverted to being a sadistic asshole and shattered a child's dreams while dooming her family to death at the hands of the mob. This guy isn't even a fun edgelord. He's just an asshole. |
runec said: This guy isn't even a fun edgelord. He's just an asshole. Yeah, I thought last week they were moving past this...they tripled down on it this week. I can just see the edge lord lovers saying "well the people he is being an ass to deserved it."....yeah, because the author decided to set up all these situations where everyone is out to get specifically him. Easy enough to justify an edge lord asshole when you make the MC the target for every unscrupulous person in the world....just like Redo of a Healer. Seems like it's likely every episode is going to be set up for someone to wrong him so that he can edge lord out... fooled me into giving this show a 4th episode before the drop...but now it's dropped |

| @zkeleton Everyone that has crossed him has been an idiot. Which I suppose is fitting as he is also an idiot. I'd like to see what happens when someone actually competent crosses him and he can't just eye gouge a middle aged man in front of his family to solve the situation. |
| Ahhh you guys are no fun, of course these people are idiots and just like the people in his party they are all trying to screw him because they know his power and assume he is a weak loser. I mean it's the shows whole premise. And judging by the kick ass seekers who get to fly in airships they would normally be right...except for his edginess of course LOL. Dude's the grandson of the guy who beat Alma's dad so bad he had the kids of the women he raped in some village kill each other until there was only one left. He doesn't have some goody two shoes ambition like those other recent "underestimated hero" shows. This dude is just out to succeed at any cost, kind of refreshing IMO. And Alma, well I came for the boobs but I'll stay for the crazy, and she's definitely a special kind of crazy :P Also the opening scene in the bed that had to be censored from the manga or something I mean what was she supposed to be wearing a wet towel? And what is he gay? Or Soooooo ambitious women just get in the way? Given with the way he dances in the OP I'm going with gay :D edit yeah looked it up censored, but given the anime gave her biker shorts over the bikini bottoms of the manga I guess it's no surprise (and dang manga Alma is quite a bit thicker too) |

| @zkeleton Yeah, they always have some excuse like actually being a little happier with a gf is such an obstacle to whatever their edgy vengeance goal is. God forbid they have a positive emotion or some companionship it might make him soften up a bit from being a single minded serial killer. Agreed with Arifureta. Not only does he have a long term relationship with a girl but the story makes sure to remind you here and there that yes they actually have intimate relations off screen and they can acknowledge it without acting embarrassed or shamed about it. |
| Dude can't even give spare change to a homeless guy without being a massive asshole about it. |
| I don't think even this show is edgy enough for him to have straight up murdered that guy. So far we've only seen him be that horrible to people who have screwed him over somehow. |
| Don't drive a car when you're dead - Tom Waits |
| I think I'm out. This show has no redeeming qualities and I don't care about any character in it. |
