Special training huh?

Meh, that tournament fight felt rushed. Every one of those fights were over as fast as they started. Even the final fight against that swords guy was a pushover. Arel is no doubt strong but I was hoping at least one decent fight. In fact, this entire episode felt rushed. Hope they don't do any tournament type fights in the future cause that was underwhelming imo.

With Dragon Fang established as Arel, Rainer and Lilia, participating in Bresgia's guild competition to raise funds for the once-prosperous guild, it's a long way to the top. However, they can start training for it, as is with Arel trying to bring out Rainer's Guts skill. However, going against one of the best current guilds of Black Blade that's filled with A-rank swordsmen across the board, the ordinary townsfolk just don't see the former guild just edging out even low-rank guilds. The thing is, the boss of Black Blade, Georg, clearly rigging the guild competition to show who's boss, the trio being taken lightly just doesn't paint a good picture for Dragon Fang.

Arel going first in the midst of everyone critizing him as a classless bloke, it's his skills that show his class against the well-stacked Black Blade, taking down swordsmen one after the other who don't believe in him being stronger than them, imitating skills and weaponry from others as he goes. Lilia only seeing Arel as her cash cow, even as a marriage partner, is mildly funny at best, but the real test when it comes to the Eastern Swordsman Masamune, it's adding psychology and speed to the fight between the two, and Arel dug it deep for the guild's major win.

Hilariously enough, Rainer wanting a hug from Arel, as much as Lilia is thirsty for him, the girls are a weird bunch for him alright.
Also, expect revenge from Georg, no less...as generic a villain arc as it comes.

This is awful, and coming from a seasoned isekai/fantasy trashmen like myself is uhm... desperate. And look, I enjoy a bit of braindead fun once in a while, however the degradation of trash anime over the last few years is moronic to a visceral degree. However unthinkable, its not shocking to say Kirito is superbly written compared to the contemporary wannabes of your seasonal Allens, Kyles and Lloyds. Ffs make trash great again.

Imagine not being able to kick or thrust your weapon because you're not the right class. The animation doesn't help either, making the so called skills look like your most basic attacks anyone should be able to do.

Shows racing to be a contender for worst fantasy of the year, though funnily enough, it's got quite a list to beat.

ok this is just stupid, they should have just given him a skill that allowed him to mimic/copy skills rather then defying physics just for the sake of that he did it with nothing but skill. and bumping somebody isn't a skill wtf. πŸ™„

also why dose this have better animation then TBATE where are there priorities!

Welp, when they can't even properly put any kind of energy into an arena match to save the guild it's a pretty easy drop.

I kept expecting something to pop, but the whole series of matches felt like a five-year-old describing a cool fight with 'whoosh!' and 'bang!' sound effects and waving their arms around. The boredom effect was particularly egregious as cardboard mc kept talking and expositing, like shut the hell up and fight, DO something, ANYTHING interesting!

That tournament went by without a hitch (which is kind of a surprised, as I was expecting the rival guild master to at least try something πŸ‘€)

Fun show though still, even if it could be seen as fairly by the numbers.

LMAOOO I LOVE HOW ABSOLUTELY TRASHY AND FUN THIS SHOW IS 🀣
Idk if it's intentional or not but I'd like to think that the studio knew this shitty low-budget project wouldn't ever be good so instead they just commited to the trashiness and made fun of the entire show themselves lol. Of course our mushoku MC would clean sweep the team tournament by himself with the power of terrible animation (still better than TBATE tho lol), badly written fights, and convenient plot armor. But the star of the show is definitely Lilia and I'm gonna say it again, she's fucking hilarious LMAO, the gag visuals are stupidly fun and her VA is absolutely killing it! Raina's bits are quite fun too and our MC is absolutely based as usual.

I'm watching so many other, way better fantasy shows this season but this one is just way too special to skip out on. I know I'm losing braincells but hey I'm having so much fun!

Okay ngl i was thinking this would take several episodes for the battles which would have drawn it out more and could end at episode 7 at the latest and five at the earliest and felt like decent pacing with the remaining episodes being the rebuilding of the guilds reputation through quests but ending it in one episode thats just..i mean i hate to say it because i like it despite it being and im being honest here kinda trash the pacing feels way to fast i still like this dont get me wrong because i love this trope and genre but the animation feels low budget dont get me wrong all animation should be appreciated its just not vibrant the pacing obviously needs work and the characters feel predictable so far despite that i still gonna enjoy this anime.

Loved the episode. I was a bit confused about Dragon Fang sending out Arel as their first contestant, since he should’ve been their trump card, the one meant to face Masamune, Black Blade’s trump card. But as soon as I saw Dragon Fang’s ladies cheering, it all made sense.

Bro went first just to protect his dear guildmates from getting hurt. What a gentleman. But then, after he literally whoops Black Blade’s ass, you dodge Lilia twice, man? Come on. Like, the first time, fine, it was surprising. But the second? Nah, that’s just rude.

I mean, I get it, you prefer Reiner, given how stacked she is (I ship you with her too), but girls ain’t only about that, you know? So yeah, the first dodge was understandable since it caught you off guard, but the second one? That was just plain rude, man. Come on. Don't leave her kissing the dirt like that.

Arel's rudeness aside, I’m expecting some kind of revenge plan from Black Blade’s guild master, as well as a flood of requests to join Dragon Fang now that they’re the top guild in their region. I’m curious to see how Dragon Fang will handle these two upcoming challenges.

I can’t blame anyone for dropping this, it has nothing new to offer and what it does is done in a mediocre way. But I still enjoy the no-brain humour and cuteness so I’ll probably see it through.

The protagonist can really just copy basically anything, huh? Well, he's a "normal" overpowered MC then. But that's not a problem
Lilia is just so cute, I love her scenes. Laina was also so cute offering the hug lol

Guild competition. We see Arel in action and he beats 5 A-rank swordsmen on the bounce.
He's not a Classless, he has got to be somekind of genius or person with multiple classes.

@Chendroshee Nope, he became interested in her almost immediately there too, although I can't say for sure about the accuracy of the dialogues, maybe the manga is a little different from the light novel, but overall he showed interest in her almost immediately.

wish we saw more struggling and learning tho. at least some surprise hits, maybe tanked with the skill he trained for beforehand, then using those learnings against his foes.

I would have preferred to see a bit more of a struggle. Seems like his power level jumped MASSIVELY, even though it was probably just obscured by omission a la humble stoic protagonist. We had been lead to believe it took a few iterations of viewing a skill to begin imitating it, but now he only needs one? Episode three BTW. With the incredible ease with which he destroys the top swordsman in the top guild, AND no S-rank, what is even left to accomplish?
With the effort over talent theme I was hoping to see more of that effort exerted. This is on the way to becoming real garbage as opposed to junk.

Really, really, mediocre so far, Lilia though was pretty funny this time around, aside from that, it was really mediocre. I'll probably drop this and maybe come back to it in a while if anything seems to change reception wise.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

There's still some potential here but they're wasting it fast.

The problem with the premise is multifold:

1) He's really the first person ever to discover that you can copy skills with effort? Really? Nobody else in the entire world was bullheaded enough to try to do this?

2) What's the point of the "classless" handicap when it's not a handicap at all? Just to repeat the "everyone surprised at the 'classless' having skills" trope over and over and over? Is that entertainment?

3) The trick of copying skills with effort comes off as a throwaway script line. There's very little time spent on this alleged effort, and he talks about it far too casually for someone who supposedly slaved away endlessly to achieve what he has. It's further contradicted by his ability to copy skills on the spot, with no practice at all just observation.

Just give him a secret magic power to copy skills and stop insulting the audience please.

Sad to say this anime is losing the small appeal it had for me. Up till now the characters were fun; stoic Arel, gremlin Lilia, awkward Raina. Even Sword Mama despite her limited presence. But the grade school level of plot. The disregard for threats because OMG Lillia is so genki.

I watched 3 episodes of this, and I’m not really impressed. Animation-wise, it's average. Story-wise, it's cliché. I mean, how many anime about gods bestowing powers onto humans, except the protagonist, have we gotten in the past few years? There's a hint of incest between the brother and sister in the first episode, which I like. But unless it becomes a recurring theme of the anime, I’m going to pass on this.

Ah yes you gotta love it when the MC that everyone thinks is useless, goes off and clean sweeps the strongest swordsmen in the whole town.

ROFL

Lilia going crazy is the best part of this series, her hyperactive personality is the best.

"I am not going to beat any of them, so I'll just cheer"

LOL, she's so real. And cute.

Tho she also have that "CORPA" thinking... which can be dangerous at times.

.

And MC

"If you're going to hug, at least take your armor off first"

LOL, I knew it, this MC isn't dense at all, he's aware of everything.
