| Welp, Arthur is getting stronger everyday, both physically and mentally. Hard to say exactly how strong he is yet but he's on the right track. Given his age, it's impressive he is able to handle magic like that. There's a still a lot of family dynamics as part of the show. I feel like they really want the audience to understand Arthur's family more. The adventure stuff...meh, that part seems like what fantasy adventures has shown a lot of these years. |

| Yeah wow, what a dramatic ending that was, sure, whatever. But can we talk about this staff list for a second? FIVE, yes, FIVE FUCKING KAs... and 2nd KAs??? No, this is actually a joke of a production. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if this was yet another outsourced episode like the last... oh wait, IT IS. I've legit never seen anything like this before... what the actual fuck. And best believe, it only having 5 KAs is very apparent, the entire action scene is just stills and speed lines. Like LOL. I guess it kinda moved when bro was running and doing pushups… but that’s it? Are we DEADASS right now? Oh, and the plot is just as copy-paste as ever from Mushoku Tensei, because I KNOW that ain't Ghislaine, right??? Delete the anime. This is just… wow. |
 |
| The story’s interesting, and Arthur’s strength is no joke to laugh at. But the animation during the fight… what can I say—it was so good, so good that I don’t wanna see it again. It’s gonna be hard on his mother; she’s such a caring one too. Damn, that ending—what even is that thing? Demon Lord or what!? |

| I thought I was okay with the animation, but not after seeing the monsters and fights. What a garbage🤮 |
| Lol'd throughout the entire slideshow compilation this was. What made me lol the loudest was when they encounter the bandits and they had the camera pan 3 times at them in quick succession like it was some Bollywood edit. |

Its okay, enjoyable. The fights could be better animated, but its okay, could be worse
| @cadibe95 What's more worse than having CGI monsters and slideshow fights? |
| I'm still in the trial period with this show but I don't think it's going to get any better than what we have right now sadly. I don't read source materials but it sounds like the source is great and this show has butchered it. The animation is meh and the heavy use of the slideshow battle scenes in this episode wasn't great. Also starting to dislike the heavy use of King Grey's voice because it just feels like the show is talking to you rather than trying to entertain you. Second week in, my hopes aren't super high anymore. Will give it a few more weeks before I either put it on hold or drop to free up more time for other shows. Thankfully this season still has great shows airing. |

| As i think everyone is saying here, the fights DO really need to be better animated as watching them just feels wrong after reading the manhwa. Still I'll continue to watch this and pray that it improves over time. But what an episode, showing off how strong little Arthur is being able to go toe to toe with an adventurer. |

I want to know what those 18 ppl loved about this episode. If we are not honest, how can the studio improve. All those still frames dont make any sense. certain sequences dont make sense like him charge up his legs to run away with his mother knowing she cant do that and in the very next scene the charged legs are gone as the regular run away. They didn't even bother drawing a rope and added that white line for the plot, like it's lil things that they could done better or with more thought that would significant improve the animation. for all the hype these past 2 episode just not living up.     |
| I love my weekly slideshow. |
 |
| The story is getting better. Art style and character design is not bad, I just wish animation had 50% more frames. P.S. I have never seen vote distribution like this |

| People are using Rudeus as a reason to not watch Mushoku Tensei (rightfully so, since he is pretty abhorrent), however the portrayal of Arthur's past (Grey) isn't much better. In the first episode: indiscriminate slaughter of civilians or military by bombing buildings. In the second episode: execution of a mother and child due to the father attempting to harm him and the people calling it "mercy" for the mother and child. This implies three things:
The anime's portrayal of Arthur's past, and about how he was should've been a later clause, not this early by making Grey look like an irredeemable bastard that just kills any chance of mine connecting with Arthur (anime Arthur). They should’ve saved that reveal until later. And god damn it, switch Arthur's inner voice, really awkward to hear a 30+ year old man's dark voice coming from a kid. |

Fr, I understand it when he couldn't talk but he has talked now. They probably will keep gray's voice because now that they've used it, finding the correct timing to change it is hard, maybe they'll change it
or after

| Idk what people expecting but for an Isekai it's very decent. Animation isn't good but on the average side. My problem is pacing so far. It's my bad I am keep comparing this to Mushoku Tensie which is unfair. But so many things didn't need happening in one episode. Who tf let a 4 year kid and pregnant women run alone. Let's assume they escape somehow WTF THEY GONNA DO IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Twinhorns (Beta Fang of the Black Wolf) you shouldn't losing to bandits is also embarrassing. Jasmine girl is cute, she is taking Roxy part ig. I am waiting for ripoff Sylphy patiently. Kinda ironic Mushoku/Rudy haters are here again to whine about "pEdOpHeLiA" where Arthur in past is brutal genocider. Which is 1000 times worse. Well in that regard I am glad this didn't got Studio Bind treatment so any comparison is dead before starting. Still I am enjoying it. |
| Damn, furukawa characteristically does have this sort of affected, nasal and draggy acting style, trying to be super cool and smooth and all, but add to that probably his lowest possible tone and the koyama rikiya sort of melancholic up-tone flick at the start of each sentence and it gets to be a bit too much. And on top of all that, the inner monologue and the actual voice are different? I think every other reincarnation anime had it right on this matter. Should've used that voice in the flashbacks or something and given him the kid voice. |
| Okay, now that was one hell of a scary cliffhanger. I think this is the first anime where an ambush of bandits actually does something, instead of the usual isekai ones where the bandits just get rekt by the op mc, this time, it's actually a realistic one, where the good side loses due to the number disadvantage. That aside though, Arthur's monologue is still as hilarious as ever, his comments on every situation are hilarious. In any case, really excited about that monster at the end, curious to know what that actually is and what its purpose is. |
| I'm not a reader of the manhwa, but I've seen a few panels and the complaints from readers about the animation not saying it doesn't "do justice" to the manhwa is understandable. But honestly, I think some people are overreacting - what did they expect? It's not from a top-tier animation studio. I think it's decent, similar to most isekai released today. The trailers made it clear that the animation would be like this, and that any adaptation would skip parts of the story. At this point, it seems like people hate because they do just by comparing them to other works. Personally, I found this episode to be better than the previous one. Grey's narration, as he reflects on his past beliefs and actions while living this new life as Arthur, was a strong point. Now that Arthur is separated from his family, I guess the real drama will begin. |

| Really excellent episode. It's sad that there is so much childish hate going on for almost irrelevant issues. |

| 6:35 should have been me not him the series should be renamed to "The end after the beginning" The SLIDESHOWS, the TERRIBLY RENDERED PNGS. Lord have mercy, I gotta be grateful the way s2 mushoku struggled 😂. ik it was gonna be bad, but it really one-upped itself, capcut effects looking ahh. Wanted to rate it higher, but the animation is so bad, im so sure the animators put two shapes together and repeatedly pasted it onto the storyboard, them still frames as well etc. Funny enough, tbate fans were so sure it would look better than mushoku, hopefully ep3 is somewhat better cause ik there gotta be more prioritized eps in this cour 6.5/10 |

| The animation is really poor, this could be only acceptable 20 years ago. And I say it would have been acceptable, not something good. But also the story is poorly used, many important details are left out, compared to the novel. I consider dropping the anime. I want to grade it 4/10. The novel is really one of the best series I have read, and I heard that the comic/manhwa is appreciated as well, but this anime won't do, we were better off without this. |
