I can't take any of this seriously. It's trying too hard to be cool.

Abrupt 5-year time skip and a forever 12-year old sensei. Mark those off the list.

So Celia is a 12 year old loli teacher as she's so smart....

Be interesting if she's also isekai'd and was someone the MC knew in his original life.

2nd ep and the MC is smart and a skillful fighter (thx to his experience he had in previous life of course), the school snobbish noble kids are jealous of him and the girls fall head over heels with Celia the first one to join the MC harem. This is all so predictable, it's amusing

The dialogue in this so dumb, even for isekai standards. It's amusingly fun for being so cliché on the other hand.

The production is both absurdly godawful, with both fights being nothing but stills, but also absurdly corny and ridiculous. Everybody gasps with astonishment because he holds his sword in a Japanese fighting stance instead of a regular one, which gives him extra special bonus Japanese sword powers. Is this supposed to be a joke? Feels like it might be, except nobody making this show was in on it.

And, that's it. That's the whole episode. That and he has date time with the first of his harem. Even that random ghost girl doesn't bother to show up. The entire episode is two 'fight' scenes that were totally unanimated, consisting of the peanut gallery mocking/ovulating over his mighty Japanese sword stance, narrating every single thing that isn't happening in front of their faces because animating anything is just too dang hard. Congrats, show. You've made me feel more charitable to the other cliche awful thing by exceeding the limits and being truly, truly terrible.

What did I just witness. It went from isekai to saviour to knocking him out and now we're at school and its been 1 and a bit episodes? The we have a time skip of 5 years, training montage, and a tournament? Break neck speeds, lets see if this is only for the start or not since my head is already hurting from the lack of information.

On the plus side, celia and rio's relationship did develop, but since this is a harem not expectation much past the oh i have a crush on him but he doesnt realise it phase, I really want to be surprised though!

Yeah the pacing is ridiculously fast. That goes to show the plot probably won't be able to stand on its own so they are rushing to tell the story. This will likely be a one cour show with no season 2.

The pacing is fine. This is exactly how it went in LN. Volume 1:

Chapter 4: Royal Academy Enrollment
Chapter 5: Five Years Later

Academy is just not a big part of the story.

Someone even managed to call it "just a school harem" even though school is obviously pretty much done and Celia is the only harem candidate with no indication that anything will happen at all.

And FYI, there are 19 volumes published and it is still doing well. They can make as many cours as they want.

Good adaptation. I read some of the source material, wasn't impressed by the story. But anime is made well. Nothing is botched and it is quite entertaining to watch so far.

Just bonding with Celia without much interaction with other students for whole five years, that's basically it. Tho they kinda skipped the part where Rio is shown to be unable to learn magic (just as the douche noble mentioned on the episode). Other than that, nothing really happened.

nicer pacing slowed down, and focus on Rio Celia cute relationship, except that sudden 5yr skip.
Sounds like classmates irredeamable made him want to travel far.
Also rare isekai mc sorta keeps both souls/memory, and local Rio's mom/Yagumo memory drives his life more so far. I miss his wild long hair tho, made him more unique.

Whoa whoa whoa slow down man. 5 years passed by? Where does he live? Has his abilities progressed? And why does everyone think he can't do magic? And the guy getting shocked at his stance, hasn't his stance become popular yet? I would think that many bullies would have tried to fight with him during the 5 years, and he also would've been displaying his skills during classes, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected for the tournament. So, was it all smooth sailing for him till now? Nothing is explained. At least give a two minute monologue flashback of events during 5 years. Well maybe flashbacks will be revealed in up coming episodes. But that 5 year jump was too sudden and wasn't even noticeable at first.

These royal students spend all their time hating while they could be learning basic arithmetic. Imagine being outdone by a dude that can't even read LMAO.

Also that knight battle, how are you an actual knight and try your hardest, but then lose to the dude that you were beating up five years ago. He wasn't even using a shield. I'd actually resign if I was him.

This was an enjoyable episode. I realize this is a harem, but hopefully Rio either catches on or Celia confesses to him. I personally love anime where the MC just silences all his critics like Rio did with the studying then beating the knight after because he's fighting fair and square.

For me, so long as the anime goes at an ok pace and the animation stays consistent, this'll be a fun watch. It's true that the 5 years timeskip was out of nowhere, but considering the OP seems to be focusing on the teenager (aka older) Rio, that's fine too. The LN also doesn't go heavy in-depth for school life according to some posters above so rather they didn't go heavy on the anime-only stuff. On that note, only thing I would've liked to have heard is why he apparently can't use magic. The anime had that stuck-up noble mention it, but the reason wasn't clear as to why he can't. He used magic after all in the first episode?

My guess is that the pink girl who he saw that taught him to use that magic is Miki from their world. Rio has Haruka's memory and that pink girl has Miki's memory. It makes one wonder how she got there, but it would explain why she showed up one day then disappeared the next. She must've passed away at some point. Only time will tell if my hypothesis is true.

My guess is that he was probably just bullied for those 5 years despite his achievements (snobbery can be rough to beat) and only had Celia as his friend. It would line up with his statement this episode. Nonetheless, he's probably a lot more competent at this point, but makes you wonder how come he didn't skip grades because let's face it, he was a University student and this is primary school so even if the culture, language and such are different, some material must have remained the same (ex. arithmetic for instance). Plus, he's pretty studious so surely he must've learned a lot even in a single year, let alone 5.

Why didn't he skip grades? That's a good point. Especially after establishing that one can skip grades like Celia. One logic I can think is that he wilfully didn't do it otherwise he would attract even more attention (aka hate and jealousy) from the nobles. However, it is not easy to remain at 1st position and yet not disclose you're a genius. So does this mean he started becoming 2nd or 3rd? There are so many unanswered questions, but it's only been two episodes so I will keep my patience. Let's see what transpires ahead.

That's an interesting thought. Maybe that was the reason. Maybe skipping grades is a rare exception or maybe even with his skills, there is so much new stuff to learn that a year or two isn't enough even with how studious he is. Hopefully we get some more information, but I'm ok if they don't decide to answer it either.

Rio is very mature for his age due to Haruto. (so much that he's already getting girls)

From this, I also suspect Celia being mature and smart might somehow be the same case with that "little white cap girl" that was looking at Haruto when the Train hit the Bus. (so there's a possibility that the little white cap girl was merged into Celia at a earlier time) (plus, Celia also wear a similar cap, just blue)

___ ___ ___

Also, looks like Celia went through similar things as Rio due to her being smart at age 12 from the other teachers and such, so she's trying to protect Rio, lol.

The time skip doesn't bother me at all. Rio is growing to be a better MC. He finally rekt that arrogant guy who tortured him. Lots of arrogant little pricks around him and it was good choice to ignore them. Also I'm really liking Celia. Not only is she cute and adorable, but also supported Rio through his life in the academy. She gets jealous when a girl gave him a letter.

The MC says he knows his place and won't care if royals talk shit to him. Fucking hell the dude saved the princesses life, the king owes him big time so he has backing. Where the fuck is his pride does he like to take it up the ass?

FUCK I lost all respect for Celia fucking shitty teacher. She cant even tell off her students for bullying her student and she can't even stand up for Rio. Celia had the balls to ask how Rio's first day of school was when she stood there watching the students bully Rio. Fucking bitch.

And I know that children are bad at school, but absolutely nothing compares to the children of nobles that are the worst. 🤬
But still it was clear to him that he was going to be someone with more than their level of knowledge and fighting style.
eh and it looks like someone became a little jealous of Rio, that he could make a girlfriend. 🤫🤭 However, I was expecting something bigger from him in the final fight vs. the guy who tortured him 5 years ago.

Pretty simple, nothing really amazing and pretty easy to watch. I like my animes like that once in a while. A solid 7.5/10 so far and I can't complain about much thus far and I don't mind the pacing as long as there is no really important plot we are missing. It will be probably just another 7/10 anime in the end, I don't expect anything huge or mindblowing coming up.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It looks like Rio decided to enroll at a school and he cleaned himself up quite nicely.

Too bad not many people like him there except for Celia. This episode is quite an important one for Rio's life development. Not only does he get the chance to develop his skills further but he can also make new friends. His kendo skills is quite something.

so, what do you mean "new friends" when you literally just said he wasn't well liked in school! xD
