That start was certainly surprising, looks like this is going to be a very generic isekai, but it was enjoyable enough so whatever, wonder if we'll meet that elf next episode

Arc just reminds us of the goat, this is a must watch imo. The opening is amazing.

Nothing speaks of a writer's talent than opening the series with rape because they can't pull an audience in with anything beyond shock value.

Buen comienzo para un RPG lo único en lo que puedo discutir es la velocidad de la historia. Algo lenta para mi preferencia esperemos a ver como avanza. 🈸

A very good start for this anime adaptation. The animation seems smooth as hell, but I'll wait until a real fight scene to be sure.
Biggest surprise is still the opening: I thought I was turning insane when I recognized Pellek's voice! Can't believe he did an anime opening, after all his anime covers!

It was in prologue in LN, but whatever. It's pointless to argue with butthurt prudes, especially when they are being so obviously ridiculous.

This anime is based on LN which is based on WN which was published for free by some guy who wrote it in his free time. It was successful because people liked it. 9 volumes of LN are published, same for manga and now there is anime. All this stuff is licensed and being published in English. It says about writer's talent much more than the opening scene.

Sasuga Ain What do you mean its getting old?

Whatever, the rape scene didn't really catch much of my attention. Even after it, I would expect some degree of trauma but I couldn't find any. As for the story, its basic with a twist but pretty fun.
I found its weird that he's able to drink and eat though that might be my biases from Overlord carrying over. Him not feeling any guilt was pretty interesting at least though I prefer it when the MC detaches due to his past rather than RPG reasons.

Use of CGI was pretty good. OP and ED are above average.

Lol, they just had to start with an attempted rape scene. The best way to introduce a new character -- let him be a knight in white shining armour. This time literally.

So, that's basically a comedy version of Overlord vol.2. Okaay.

Well, MC is so stupid and retarded that it's actually quite funny. Usually we get either edge-lords or hentai-idiots, so now it's something new and that's nice.

But all in all it's a pretty mediocre isekai and knowing that most lns become worse after the first volume or the first few, it's really not a great sign. 6/10. Hope it gets better at least in terms of a comedy. Oh! And while I'm perfectly fine with rape plotlines as a way to advance story, gotta say the opening scene was pretty lame and unnecessary. Bad writing in its prime.

Why i enjoy this so much??

Maybe protagonist personality was really interesting and i like that so much.

The Animation also turn out to be good even with the Limited resources since this is a collab they manage to blend the CGI very well and it's not that noticable at all.

Episode 1 was pretty decent so far and i really enjoy the typical guild scene it feels nostalgic lol since there's only few isekai with Guild inside

I could say this is generic fantasy game anime, like there are quest board and monster slaying mission. I could say this has a great start, the mc personality is interesting, animation is smooth although have some stiffs.

This has been one of my most anticipated shows for years now. I read the first LN years ago and I thought it was OK, but Maple was the main highlight for me, looking forward to seeing how they handle her in the anime. I remember it being generic but still fun

Overlord 2.0 with a mix of Goblin Slayer's brutality and alerting scenes. Imagine seeing almost a rape scene at the first minute of an episode. That's so disturbing man. I hope i won't see another kind of things in the show. Can't wait for Ainz Ooal Gown's adventure though. I mean Arc**

Looks fun so far, I'm an Isekai fan so a new isekai would be always welcome. Arc is fun to watch in this episode so I'm looking forward to his adventure. The opening sounds fun too, really love it.

Take a look at my webnovel, read and seek the hidden truth behind the cursed ducks.

Well episode 1 showed plenty promise imo. Another isekai with heavy Overlord vibes as far as the mc. Always a good start when the story doesn’t hold back on violence or graphic nature. Because the edgy stuff will usually at the very least give you a differ story line to enjoy then just regular classic isekai OP storyline. Hopefully this won’t disappoint. 7/10 for me

Bruh, wtf was that start.


Protagonist and the story tbh is a little bit too similar to overlord honestly. But I didn't hate overlord so I'm curious to see where the story heads here. CGI could have been worse

Was that opening scene supposed to be serious? Or someone may even ask was it even necessary. Guess no’s an answer for both of these questions.

Another plain premiere to sum up this first episode, but atleast the main is a bit tolerable.


Yes it was necessary, they did that so when the scene repeated this time from Arc perspective, viewers wouldn't feel like something is wrong with Arc morality since instead of jumping to save the girls right from the start he stopped, thought about it for some seconds while the girls were in desperation and only when things escalated to the max he saved the girls, showing what happened in the opening was made to assure viewers that he would save them, and tbh even with that i felt like he took a bit too long to make something.

Attempted rape scene right off the bat, lmao, going in blind to this was great. Pretty good start for an isekai tbh, I like that he questioned a lot of things throughout the whole episode, instead of just accepting the situation he's in.

More shock value is always welcome.

This first episode is great! I liked how the MC is OP that makes the story exciting and I'm also excited to the next episode next week. This is like overlord but this story is different from overlord. I also like that there's a little action at the beginning of the anime. It is really great!

Thanks for the reminder.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

as far as sexual assault scenes go. this one wasn't as awful as the one in goblin slayer. but it still felt completely unnecessary as if the bandits had just threatened the women it would have changed literally nothing plot wise. and in my opinion it's only acceptable to include SA if it's actually important to the narrative (Berserk is a good example)

honestly I loved the himbo energy of the main character. very much giving golden retriever gamer boyfriend vibes.

the CGI in this show has been surprisingly good in my opinion thusfar. the models used so far are not distracting and look quite nice.
