| Akira getting wrongful accused for a crime seems to serve as a plot for his character now. Two episodes in and he does meet Amelia, who has been heavily advertised from the promos. Besides Akira, Asahina is someone I think to keep an eye on. He has leadership qualities and has a history with Akira. Good thing they set up the plot now for rest of the season. Curious to see how much they plan to develop the relationship between Akira/Amelia. |

| "It's natural for young kids to act on impulse like that"... that’s seriously what we’re going with here? I mean, it’s not like he had any problem barging in on the literal king his first night there, but now he has to investigate a little “maiden” and suddenly he forgets to keep up his mysterious act? Sure, let’s go with that. I find it funny that the exact same person who said that line was the one who ended up taking the blow for him, if anything. Now our guy’s in a full on Shield Hero predicament, that now thanks to a certain skank, he’s on the run. Real smart and mysterious, all commendations there. Also how convenient that among these kids, one of them just happens to have a skill stronger than a curse. Like really man? All this time the royal idiots had and they never once thought something like that could happen to have produce some better crystal things. Anyway, main dude’s got his generic waifu now, so this is just like any other fantasy series at this point. Though honestly, it feels more like another Solo Leveling, just already ten times better, admittedly. |
 |
For once I'm glad the pacing is fast, get all the usual stuff out of the way and straight to the main plot. |
| LOVE the GORGEOUS art quality and the tseudo 90s artstyle, reminds me of Lodos War even though i haven't actually watched that yet lol |
   |
| After the slow paced first episode, they really switched into gear in this one. And I realized from the conversation that they already know everything about eachother through their skills, they really should have given some introduction to Amelia, what was she doing there, why was she swallod up by a slime and how is she alive after that? |
 |
| I already felt like this was just Arifureta/Failure Frame mixed with world’s finest assassin from the first episode, this one only made that more clear giving us our typical MC being framed and banished from the country he was summoned to set up. Even down to the usual contingent of students who realize the MC’s been framed trope lol. Not complaining because I love FF and Arifureta, but it’s funny seeing this get so much love when those got a lot of hate. I’m digging the BL undertones in this too RIP Saran, I actually thought he was gonna be sus, turns out he was a genuinely good dude who wanted to help Akira and the other kids. I didn’t get sad when he died because of the how fast the pacing is here, but he was a cool mentor/older brother/yaoi love interest for Akira lmao. S/O to Gilles for carrying out his last wishes and helping Akira escape. I was kinda wondering why no one spoke up for Akira after the framing if Gilles had Asahina break the mind control crystals, but I’m guessing that was all part of the plan to avoid a direct confrontation with the king Rn. Can’t wait to see that pos get packed up, he’s just like the goddess from failure frame. Is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon? Would not be a seasonal revenge fantasy if we didn’t get our obligatory dream elf royalty waifu the MC picks up in the most random way lol. She’s so pretty and gravity magic is really cool. We’ve seen this 100x before, but I still like seeing these relationships develop and stories play out. |

| I love the "90s but upgrade" style to be honest |
 » Escapism. |
| The only person who could see through his stealth is dead, but he has to run from the castle? C'mon... This whole thing feels like written by an edgy middle schooler. Things are going way too fast too imo. Still, it's fun to watch, so I guess I'm sticking with it for now. |
| Strange that the solder went down so easily, he seemed pretty strong. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| Might be one of the flattest stories I ever seen, barely any plot or depth. Visually, this is one of the nicest looking isekai, only reason im still watching this. |
 |
| idk tbh ep 2 showed alot of things together to give a comment, commander died, Akira left for dungeon, found elf wife, a bunch of wierdly united kids went on adventure .. |
| ~iska |
 I LOVE ELVES!!!ep felt a bit fast paced?! but anyways, rip saran, he was an og (and his cool charadesign was so 90s') |
| Honestly speaking i don't really enjoy this adaptation. Like I read the Manga up to this episode only but I prefer the Manga simply because the pacing feels way to quick in the anime. Like these events happens but there is no flow between these events which the Manga adapts better than the anime. To me there is a lack of feeling or engagement to the story and mc situation simply because these events just feels like they happens and it's just following the flow without those details that doesn't make these event feel so sporadic. |

A disappointing second episode.
Many scenes feel shoehorned.
Too many character reactions are unrealistic and break immersion.
If you think about it for a few seconds, the plot from the evil nobles makes no sense whatsoever.
What a letdown.
I have little hope for the third episode.
And on top of this, one of the subtitles from Crunchyroll didn't sound like proper English to me: "Try not to use it unless needs must" at 3:36
I wonder how much of the nonsense of the episode is caused by bad subtitles.

| @Hurrikhan "needs must" is a very old saying and not many people use it in a sentence like that , so in the sentence here "needs must" means necessary or unavoidable. |
I think what I'm enjoying the most are the character designs, the elf girl looks so good. I'd go as far to say the most beautiful character I've seen this season. Can also appreciate that not every student that got teleported aside from the lead isn't a completely useless moron like a lot of these classroom isekai tend to do treat them. The story I'm still not too keen on yet but at least it's more acceptable than a couple other isekais airing this season. |
| And here's a random hot elf girl for you by Slime Delivery Service. Why bother with writing anything now, just toss chicks at it. |
| Plot makes no sense at all, but the art is gorgeous, the elf waifu is cute and that's enough for me. |

That scene with the crystals was literally just that one SpongeBob meme with the clocks |
| holy moly this episode was a gargantuan rush, the scene connection didn't make much sense i felt like i need another episode length amount to fill out the in-between scene time, and then ep 2 would be more logical |
| Is it me or are we skipping on a lot of content? I feel like this second episode we skipped on a ton of things, since it all felt rushed. Like the meeting between the mc and the elf. I guess because both had the same rare skill, it auto read each others mind and it's like they knew each other even tho they never met until now? And what's up with killing the nice commander?? (I still think he is too good to not be an evil douchebag, but time will tell unless he really did die there) |

| @Marinate1016 I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think Saran might have been hiding something, but he actually a good guy. I'm suspicious tho -_- I hope for the sake of Akira he died a good dude and doesn't comeback as a villain or something the sort. |

| maybe it's just me but it feels like some of the art is AI generated |
| The elf part feels rushed, like 0 questions at all? ok then... Why doesn't he just kill the witch and the king? he invaded both of their privacy with ease before... The king summons hero's, then curses the hero's so they don't kill the demon lord? No make sense it does... Oh god... that ending.. please please don't become a pet/mascot... instant trash bin. |
| Well things was going way too easy so obviously all blame goes to mc. To make him the villain. Wouldn't see that coming. Saran was way too nice of a guy to stick around. But man the entire thing was rushed. After this much building him up.. And literally waifu spawn lmao. She looks absolutely gorgeous. Silver hair+Red eyes+Elf yes perfection.. Her ED was beautiful aswell. Hopefully it calms down a bit. Not the greatest of plots but it has things going for it. |
| Great ep His shadow magic is pretty cool to say the least. Revealing his identity was stupid asl. NAH, i didn't expect the commander to die so soon. The commander's friend is a W manz. Basic ahh dungeon leveling. Asahina is looks interesting. Finally met the character that made me want to watch this series in the first place. What's this elf's name? The pacing is decently fast with transitions, but ngl I'm happy that its like this. That abrupt ahh ending. 9.5/10 |

@JustAnotherShiro The author originally started writing this story in highschool, back in 2017 (per the notes on their Syosetu account).
@Darkzepheran The novel pacing is pretty quick during these events; only things being cut out are some small finer details.

| @zz2000 Thanks for letting me know. I thought we were missing big chuncks of source material just by how fast the pacing has been. This clears things up. |

| @epyon4light AI don't learn from nowhere. And since 90s anime artstyles existed way before AI, of course these AI will learn from the 90s artstyle lol Commander Saran nooooo! :( he was a nice guy. so sadge hes gone. I'm glad the Hero is not acting like a typical rival against Akira. Elf girl best waifu. Btw, I think the first hero is |

| It's too bad about , but luckily I already knew aboout that. This show has some of the best action scenes of any anime this season. |
 |
| I just got done watching Kijin Gentoushou, and I think I'm fucked for a while. I cannot possibly watch this level of mid crap and take it seriously. Kijin has pretty bad animation except for some action scenes in the first half. Characters snap from one position to another, some dialogue scenes are just still frames... But damn, is the script and the screenwriting so fucking good. The audio mixing too. And of course, the story under it all is also pretty thought provoking and confusing, but it pays off so well when it comes together. Not the best ever of course, but closer to it than it is to mediocrity. This, on the other hand... It's basically the complete opposite. Not even though because animation is not that good. I don't know why I had such high expectations. |
