| Probably gonna read the LN but dam this is actually getting good |
| Actually... I would say this pace felt a bit more modest than when i read the novel. Since i had to imagine the scenes/fights by reading the novel... I'm pretty excited for whats to come. |
 |
| I expected the MC to be a girl, but looks like he's actually a trap, lmao. I feel deceived. But yeah, this went pretty fast, but I guess we'll see how it goes. OP by fhána is always nice, though. |
  |
| I'm just going to hope that the later episodes are paced much slower. Because this thing has so much potential |
AnimeFanboy1234 said: The god-awful editing. And the pacing. There is bad pacing. There is terrible pacing. And then there is pacing so bad that you can't care about a single thing that happens, because there are like, 20 scenes in 1 ep, and each of them last for like a minute. The narrator is completely unnecessary. None of the characters have any personality. Dropped. Yes those were it's good points now how about balancing out your statement with the negatives too! I am going to give this one more episode in the hope they decide to tell a story afterall it already has mecha. |
| what a letdown adaptation felt rushed it's way too fast and lots of skipping they could've at least make it into 2 or 3 episodes as expected of 8bit this remind me when grisaia aired for now i'll just enjoy the anime as it's only the 1st episode |
| Went in without knowing anything aside from what the page says about it, honestly i enjoyed the first episode, granted i can see how some people complain about the pacing but to me i don't care and was fine with it speeding it up because i rather not waste 3-5 episodes just to get older and for the story to get rolling. |

| I thought this was a lot better than I expected tbh. Not a fan of the trap MC though. Either just make him a girl or let him go through puberty. |
 |
| I have very complicated feelings about this episode. It feels so damn rushed and refuses to calm down for even a minute. Wich is a waste because if you look at the manga version. They build up and up. Take it a little slow. Get to know our main character and his quirks. than build up to finally getting into that sweet ass mecha. But here I get the feeling like we wil see him in one in just episode two... The animation is overal decent. the magic effects look amazing. the Silhouette knights how ever...very much less. Wich is bad considering they are kinda the focus point of our main and thus also the thing we should focus on. |
| I guess this will be yet another case of me enjoying the anime a lot more because I knew zero about the source material. At first I was groaning about the overused trope of otaku-reborn-into-fantasy-world, but thankfully it began to establish its differences rather quickly. Instead we have Ern, a reincarnated otaku reborn into an Escaflowne-like world as a trap-worthy supergenius. I learned basic sums in grade school, Ern invented magical guns and already has groupies trailing him. Bro, slow down. Enjoyable episode overall, 7/10 would feel insufficient again |
| Forum sniper of MAL. Accuracy, efficiency. Beware the catgun. |
| This was a fantastic first episode. No lingering on character backstory; it got right to the point of what the show is about. |
I enjoy watching people's favorites. Recommend your favorite show to me, even if I have it dropped/on hold. |
| I thought this was really good. I'm not really into mech but magic I always seem to like. I think I would love to be reincarnated into a world like that, especially if you get to keep your memories from a world like ours and with our technological advances, it's easy to see the advantage he has over everyone else. Looking forward to this next episode. |

| so car san had his turn this time? still this was way too fast. they went to the behemoth already on episode one? the whole step sister dynamic was handled rather clumsly. the manga's pacing is so much better a it give you time to kinda attach to the character. you get to meet the characters so fast that you hardly have time to form any opinion about any of them. maybe after episode one, they will go to a normal pace. |
| The writing was cringe-inducing in places and they didn't even try to hide that certain lines existed solely for exposition. The VA's voice did not match the appearance of the man at the beginning so I was a bit worried there. Despite all that was wrong with this episode I can't deny that I enjoyed it. |
| man they skipped some shit and rewrote part of the story? he was supposed to meet stefania 3 years prior, they didn't show the addy kidnapping part, just went straight to the action... |
 |
| It's too bad they had to ruin would could have been a neat Fantasy anime with shitty mech trash. |
| 5/5 I like it so far as I don't read the novel or manga so I don't really care about the fast-paced First impression is.. Oh F! its Shinpachi voice(from gintama *I only like him from gintama) Three years later then I heard Takahashi Rie but damn he's a boy! He's so cute tho..no homo! So yeah entertaining wise its great (ignoring the cliche of fantasy world) |
 |
| Wow, they pretty much ruined it for me, might as well drop the manga & forget the novel.... With the rushed episode, they turned this is into a super boring childish mary sue story, while on the manga he starts slowly being a mary sue, at least they took their time & actualy showed why, how the mc gained his knowledge, in the anime version, he just poops skills out of his arse, trows them like lightnings and every character talks like a robot. If this keeps up, he will finish building his mech on episode 2 & kill every monster on the planet on episode 3.... (Some of you might say what i said is a spoiler, but it isnt, go watch episode 1 again, they literaly rushed the entire plot on 1 episode) |

| I liked it, felt like CN isekai novels from ten years ago, but at least it's protagonist with a "can-do" attitude. Oh, and how cute he is. |

japzone said: Sokah said: What a mix of terrible and fun. Will they ever address the horrible origin where he has taken over a 9 year old boy's body? I guess we're just supposed to assume the kid died in the wagon without a scratch on him and so the body was "free"? LOL, oh well, mecha and fantasy, lets see where this leads... Eh no, he didn't posses the kid. Just comes to show how badly planned that scene was. In the original novel it was made clear that the MC reincarnated and was bored with his new life until he discovered that mecha exist in this fantasy world. Wow, really? That's sort of even worse. How did he go 9 years without even knowing giant mecha existed? I think this first episode was hugely bungled, but I think they can still make a decent show of it if we can all ignore what just happened. haha |
| I already love Ernesti so much. Not just his cute looks (and I really do love how cute he is!), but also his whole personality. Also loving Kid and Adeltrud and Battson. There are definitely some questions and issues with this first episode, as others have pointed out, but I'm going to choose to ignore those (for now at least) and see where this series takes me. I'm looking forward to a fun ride. |

| I liked the episode adaptation. A bit rushed, but then again anime adaptations typically do need an action hook. Also the mech designs are interesting and do suit the whole medieval aesthetics Anyway Eru is so cute :3 |
| Didn't hate it but didn't like it either. The protagonist seems likeable. |
| IS NO ONE GOING TO WRITE ABOUT THE ANIMATION? Dear God, animation wise this show really impressed me in the movement of the characters. It's so fluid and the fact that they managed to draw some of the Mech inside beautifully is really nice. Plot wise... yeah, as a LN reader I am a bit dissapointed. It's too rushed. Character introduction should take 2 episodes and school trip should start on episode 3. What they skipped as far as I know: Addy kidnapped, Kid duel, Red and white mech duel, and a bit more minor stuff. This hurts their character personality a bit if people are only anime watcher. I guess I understand what they are going for. They wanted to bring in big action scene at first episode. I hope they stop rushing it after the behemoth. |
| Huh I liked it more than I expected. The animation was good and the main trio seems very likeable. |

| i dont like the straight directing. full of explaniations no doubt zero mysterious atmosphere |
| Wow they sure fooled me. i thought that was a girl. Damn you anime traps. |

| I thought Ernesti was cute. Then it was a guy. Dropped. |
| From the perspective of someone who has neither read the LN or manga, I didnt really pick up on the pacing - it wasnt a problem for me. I quite enjoyed the first episode, however I know that anime such as this are either hits or misses and by reading the other comments I'm a little concerned about the pacing so far. Ernesti is cute <3 I dont mind him being girly compared to what others thought. |
 |
| Well, not a bad episode first up to say the least. Perhaps the story was a bit too rushed or so I felt. Animation looks great as well as the sound department which is very crucial for a Mecha anime. Introduction of the wide range of characters was also well implemented. Overall, looking great despite the pacey start. I hope it slows down slightly and takes things one at a time. By the way, I haven't read the manga or light novel so you'd expect me to not be bothered a lot by the commendable pace. 8/10 so far... |

| So it's another Tanya, but not as evil and didn't reincarnate as a girl. But hey, giant knight armors acting like mecha? I'm sold. |

| Good 1st episode. Better than your usual "guy gets thrown into fantasy world" stuff (like Re:Zero). I like the fantasy + mecha mix. They are using it nicely - with the guy being better at magic because of his programming skills (magic is similar to it in that world). I hoped there would be a time skip with him getting older again and becoming a mecha designer instead of fighter (from the skills he would be gathering while trying to make his own mech that kids would pilot). Preview for next episode though looks like he's going to fight and I guess it will stay with him at the younger age (12 years I think) and fighting mainly + maybe a bit where he develops new stuff. A bit less interesting than what I'd prefer to see but still okay since the chars are - despite being young - okay and not too annoying. |
