Seirei Gensouki Episode 9 Discussion

DKDiabloLicht said:
Man I do like this show.. BUT.. The formula they are going with is starting to piss me off. I really do like OP main characters, but basically what keeps happening OVER and over, we meet people start to grow attached to the characters, then he moves. We lost Celia first(who was GREAT 👍) then we meet Latifa who I really liked and since she's from Japan I really wanted them to stick together (and if I was him I'd want to figure out why the hell we are here) but then we go to the Village with more people I liked including the Village Elders and the girls he lived with, and then he drops their asses to keep going. Now he shows up here and finds out they are his FAMILY! He lost everyone, but here he's got a cousin, and Grandma, but guess what, he's leaving again. It's really stupid to me anyway. To me Rio is not the most entertaining of characters as far as his personality and I like him best when he's playing off of other characters I like. But now we are at episode 9 and what he's going to meet another few people, probably a girl and then eventually leave her too? What is
the point of meeting all the characters
If they are just going to be gone? It would be nice if they were at least all together in one spot so he wouldn't have to jump from place to place to see them again. Also this is listed as a Harem, but where? Having girls that are hundreds of miles away from you and are never together doesn't classify as a Harem to me lol

Alright so regarding Celia, I'm not really sure its over yet because in the ED u can see her in marriage clothes. I haven't read the LN or the Manga but I believe he may still return to the capital and there is more to Celia. About you considering this anime not a harem, "The world only God knows" was considered as a harem even though in season 1 the MC fell mad only 1 girl fall for him at a time, So the proper definition of 'Harem' depends on perspective.

Yeah I gotcha, I heard that the wedding clothes is something that is likely in the finale, and yeah that's true. I just want the characters together is all, and I actually liked the girl he crushed this week. She busted her ass for six months just not to slow him down and to stay by his side! Ugh lol thanks, btw is that Anime good? I watched two episodes and something annoyed me so I haven't given it a fair shot yet

prothymos said:


To be honest I dropped it aswell. I wanted to watch that anime because it was 'Harem' but as i was disappointed I left it. Apparently its really good. But please don't watch this anime by keeping harem in mind. We don't want another Kirito

Did I miss something ? They say 6 months and then Kirito said "it has been two years" since he saw Raphtalia and the others girls who I can not remember their name ?

Well, anyway, it was a boring episode. Until Rio became Kirito (end of episode 6), he had at least a personality. Now, he's just this calm guy with no emotion whatsoever (yeah, he get angry against rape attempt and talking about his mother killer... but otherwise, he's pretty much a robot).

Honestly, the author can not write a nice slice-of-life moment. So, now, I understand why he have to skip time, because he can not write this kind of scene (and has to rely on attempted rape to make something happen). You know the saying "Stop when you're ahead". That's basically what the story does. He introduces you to a new environment and before you realize there is not much going on, he change the setting and reset.

Because, when he tries to write a scene which is motivated by "character" and not "plot", Rio can not even explain why he rejects a girl. Honestly, even though I can not even understand why she would fall in love with Kirito since their dialogue was basically "Rio-sama, rio-sama, rio-sama...", she at least had some guts and acted to be reliable (so she could travel with the guy). But, no, Rio-sama could not even be bothered to give an actual explanation. Mysterious guys are not cool. Especially if the guys is just going back to the village with Latifa !

This story is a mess. Prior revelation (royal line) have no impact whatsoever. Rio just going place and being the strongest and seducing everyone. And we still have no clue about what the "villain" (dragon) were doing. He's not actively hunting for the killer of his mon (and probably Dad). What's this guy doing ? Just walking around ?

6 first episode had their problem but had enough going for them. Now, I'm not so sure... maybe the new girl will help... the problem is there is too much character who have barely enough time to say something (except "Rio-sama").

Right now, I'm not sure the author know what he's doing... hope he proves me wrong... but come on... introducing villain and then doing a six month (2 years ?) gap. And then introducing a new chara ? At least, make the arc about the villain who stole the eggs... (please).

Lets be honest, the LN isnt that popular and the anime was made as an advertisement. There was never any intention of properly adapting it and of course there wont be a season 2.

Seirei Gensouki LN is too slowed paced with a lot of spice of life moments, on top of that the first 3 volumes are basically a prologue and not much happens on it. This LN simply doesnt work well as a season 1 only anime, thats why they are even skipping volume 4 too have a season finale with action

Seriously Rio I can never return your feelings... this anime just lost a lot of points for that shit. At least say maybe or someday but never!!!! That's almost as bad as being too damn dense dumb Rio baka baka baka

DKDiabloLicht said:


LoL that's another one I dropped after 6 episodes, even though my Friend keeps telling me to keep going I haven't yet. What I want ALL Harem protagonists to be like is Hajime from Arifureta! Not a pussy, wicked badass, and He ACTUALLY bangs one of them (off screen obviously) lol. If this happened and the MCs were decisive I think the large portion of Anime fans that HATE Harems, would probably not feel that way. But the Harem protagonists are usually the worst lol

prothymos said:


True. The fact that this guy can reject someone because he has a goal he wants to achieve makes me want to put this anime as one of the top in 'harem' category

KANLen09 said:
@Quanta00 you're such a troll. And you LITERALLY made an account to put this show is your favourite, I won't smear about that. How about I give you this answer: RE-WATCH the goddamn episode if you don't understand what's going on.

@Tachi27 you're no better off, what you said MAKES ZERO SENSE at all. Leave whatever your thoughts for the next episode entirely to yourself.

amlg said:
Ah yes... the MC refusing confessions while continue building his harem... like the harem MC he is.

Tho still better than some other harem MCs that "do" their Harem before refusing their confessions... or ones that buys "do" from towns while having a harem...

TBH, at this point, I am just watching to see if he actually does go on a revenge adventure... but from what I see, it'll still just be regular harem adventure... (I would have dropped this series long ago)

Is Rio gay? I suspect he has no sexual desire whatsoever...
