I've been wondering though, what clichés are people even talking about? It's easy to spot them in Isekai Smartphone, but here? Where? I mean just for the episode content, not the general setting.

The faster eating fetish trend dies in anime, the better. It made it even to mediocre bollocks like this. Who gives a damn about him eating, why waste so much time when it's not even one of these off-putting food porn series.

I thought I'll find at least 1-2 harmless timekillers this season but it's as dreary as the previous one.

Well, maybe it is also food porn series, but it will begin real food porn after the end of the season.

Guess titles are easy to come by in this world but man what a catch. I think i will agree with the mc on falling for Zena if we met in reality. So some skills can be learned through conversation huh interesting. Hmm the city sure is pretty organised with things like entries. But to think that the price of an expired visa is slavery though. Zena coming by to pick him up in the morning was unexpected. Funny how people assumed that she's his girl though. If anything Zena sure is earnest in trying to help Satoo though. Looks like he made quite the first impression on her when he saved her.

There's a lot of alluding going on in this thread to something happening in the next episode... And boy it's gonna need to be good and subvert basically the entire show to save it at this point. I can see where the appeal in this show would be, but I can't see them doing anything to make this show work for me. Well, one more episode to be sure, but I can't say my hopes are high that I'm going to enjoy this.

I'm not going to lie...This is kind of trash. The pacing just feels off, and the characters seemed squeezed in. I don't like the mc that much in game, but he isn't bad when he is doing internal monologues. Shit, his design looks like a cheap kirito...

The point of Martha's tits are not "WOW! Those are big!" but rather that the 13yo knows perfectly well how to use them to her family's benefit. >_>;; That should speak louder than her above average rack size. Maybe humans physically mature faster in that world than here. "Adult" is no more than 15yo after all.

I liked that he unlocked a "Poker Face" skill by staring down the guys picking on the slave girls. I think it could just as appropriately been named "Bullshitting". It takes balls to pull off a bluff like that by doing nothing. XD And he unlocked negotiating/haggling skills by doing so in the market. It shows pretty smoothly how the system works. Do the action > unlock the skill > invest up to 10pts into it to increase it's effect.

Something that went unsaid but I noticed is that others can not see his HUD (since he had it open on the ride back to town and Zena didn't say anything about lv310. lol) and that I haven't seen a single other person using similar motions/behavior so it's most likely that no one else has one. Odds are also good that his ability to check things/people is unique IMO.

To everyone who's complaining about how generic or Kirito-like he is, well.. He's Japanese. Kirito's Japanese. (I'm part Japanese myself.) Ethnically, we're all pretty similar in basic appearance. lol

I didn't read the novel, only the manga, but I really like this adaptation. It is very pleasing that the inner monologues of the protagonist have been preserved, sometimes this is not enough in novel's adaptation. The second episode really turned out to be such a slice of life, but I don't see anything wrong with that.

So, the blonde chick, daughter of a noble aristocrat, is single ?

How unrealistic !!! In a real fantasy world, daughters of aristocrats would already have arranged marriages or engagements with their fiances already, as decided by their parents.

What do you guys think of that unrealistic crap ?? Series like Kenja no Mago and Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho are more realistic because talk of having arranged marriages for daughters and sons of nobles starts from when anyone's age turns 13-14.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

At least it's not as bad as Isekai smartphone was. I don't mind the MMO aspect of it, with text and stuff, either. The fact that neither the LN nor the anime have the romance/harem tag is a small but good sign, for this to be more than the seasonal "harem with op mc" anime.

I feel like "Isekai wa Smartphone" is a super low bar for standards, but I can't disagree with you.

The first episode looked promising, but the introduction of the female characters leaves a lot to be desired. From what I can tell of their personalities and design so far, they appear a bit cliche. The dialogue between the girls and the MC is bordering on painful, especially the bits that meant to be flirting. Also, I could do without the MC's internal commentary on every woman he meets and whether or not he'd "tap that." A minor nitpick while I'm at it, I don't like the weird concave-vision every time there's a POV shot.

And how do you know, that it isn't the case? You do realize, that this is just episode 2 and Zena was just introduced. Do you expect her to say: Hello Satou, I'm Zena, 17 years old and just to let you know, I'm engaged/a marriage is arranged for me. That's not something, that you tell a person, which is almost a complete stranger.



Besides, her family are nobles of the lowest rank, so suitors are most likely not lining up. Also, assuming that it works in a fantasy world the same way as in our world, is naive to say the least. Fantasy worlds aren't "realistic".

Martha’s has a huge breast but she’s 13??? Anime logic. That Iona girl is hot as well especially with that armor. I think this anime will be better than Isekai wa Smartphone, I’m hoping for action next week. Don’t like the mc voice too much, should’ve make him 17, instead of 15, that’s too young. But he seems not really dense as other MC and a bit pervert, since he always notes of their physical appearance. I like that.

okay, so this MC always checks-out in monologue all the girls he met whether its a loli, a young teen big boobs or a heavy set mom and always what would happened if this was years younger like when he is a high-schooler...anyways this has same concept of SAO in which there's no option for logout but does he ever consider what would happened of his HP drops until 1?
Zena is acting like a loyal innocent waifu to the MC! lolz!

do you care to tell me what is realistic in a fantasy ? nothing is realistic about a fantasy that's why it is called a fantasy, it can have similarities to the real world but it doesn't must.

Listening to Satoo's young voice reminds me of those episodes in other anime where male characters have to disguise themselves as female characters for some reason or another and wind up talking in a really shrill voice. That's funny for one episode, I don't think I'll be able to stand an entire season of that. They either should have hired a female VA to do the young voice, like they did for Ernesti in Knight's & Magic, or just had Shun Horie use the adult voice for everything, because his adult voice sounds plenty young already.

It's a shame too, because I'm perfectly okay with everything else. It's no masterpiece, but it doesn't have to be to provide some good, mindless fun.

Let's not talk about Dm manga (i never read it 😂). i don't know why but dm 2nd eps is to much scene with unnecessary parts. like when satou-san eat in a lodge and it's happens twice! and one more, i didn't like this eps because to much explanation from main character. i wish this anime will be the next of sao. simple but interesting!

Nice and slow paced like in the manga. Yes, I know there's an LN, but I haven't read that nor there's a translation of it. Martha-chan is a cutie and she's well develop for her age. Satoo can win her over if he wants to and get laid. Sadly, our MC is into older women. If I was him, I'll get Martha. But Zena is quite fine. Prettier and more elegant. And we see his future slaves. Looking forward to see them join the party especially Arisa. Also the food looks really delicious add some nice worldbuilding as well.

The episode is okay. But with 12 episodes, I'm kinda worried.

What is a "real fantasy world"? If it's fantasy it's not real.

This is one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen. And saying that Kenja no Mago is "realistic" when it has a super OP MC...

I must agree that the voice actor for Satou sounds too forced.
Other than that everything is perfect, not too much of a action but more of a slice of life.

Are you trying to prove to us that everything under a genre is the same regardless or who the author is?
This is like saying meat prepared by a amateur and a professional tastes the same, and there's no point in having professionals.

Are you new to anime?
This kind of ** have been seen a hundred of times.
Sometimes, rarely, it can be well done by introducing something original and new.
But this one, no matter who did it is a Deja vu; the story is cliché, the MC is cliché, nothing is new, and we both know that this aint AOTY.
