honestly i dunno. last/first ep was like...
to be honest i didnt realize it was the hairstyle either, like, who knows
so is blade just going to make a new friend every ep, or
yeah, lots, LOTS of characters in theop. gonna be like 1 main and supporting character every ep, and we're gonna have like 6-12 by the eend
just look at how many characters are in the OP
seems like ELEVEEN?? characters, oof....
so is every episode just going to be the nam of the main girl(?) of the eepisode
ok so, for betteer or worse, some pseudo dorama stuff. i mean. glub. its possible the intro of goofy mc has thrown me off.
(it seems other people had a way more optimistic opinion of ep 1, for what its worth. tbh im still of half a mind to drop the anime as is, but maybe th girls can salvage this and blade wont goof off, but idk man.)
tbh this is pretty dark backstory so aerly, we're just barely at th second ep and we already have...whatever is this
its kind of funny, because blade himself doesnt know, he's uh, easily mislead
ok so....anyway though for better or worse, it sems blade is the type where he's completley oblivious to romance.
also wtff blade literally (verb) into the girls changing room, this guy
sooo anest (or however the hell you spell her name), now she's just anna now, OKAY
also uhm. so clearly their setting has GAME ARCADES? ok
...and they cant control their power and they break the machines. really
ok i legitimately have no idea what is going on. although i gueess this isnt a new trope, just that, huh
did ep 1 have so much fanservice as well, i swear
ok i se the author is just going full convenience at this point. like, our characters are (something) so might as well (ab)use it
right now, thre is no antagonist, and we havent(?) seen sophie vs anna, though sophi implies that anna is stronger. its interesting, though I guess anna isnt normal ither
its kinda curious though, if sophie, or someone else, had full power. though time control, etc are really really rare powers because of how broken they are. depends on thee contxt though, if/when an antagonist shows up. it'll be pretty funny if the whole 12 eps is just fooling around in school/city
it is interesting though, you know, th whole protagonist big rveal happening in ep 2 of all things. though.
(also what is with all these sophie head tilts)
so far both ep 1 and 2 have started with th first half goofing off, and then second half dorama. welp
well you know, the usual, main character traumatic past, and uh
like, back in ep 1 it really felt like blade had two different personality, the question is which one is the real(?)
its a strange anime alright
a bit of a strange endpoint, but ep 1 was also paced a bit weirdly because they crammed so much, and this ep they had both the op and ed.
Seems like next ep is going to be uh..cu(?) She hasnt been introduced yet though.
The main issue is, mood whiplash, the first and second half of the episodes so far seem completely different, even if the characters are the same, hell even blade doesnt act the same.
The other lingering issue is the character pacing, if they just introduce a new girl every ep. This ep we saw anna a bit, but fundamentally no followup to what happened last ep. If they just introduce a new character every ep and then throw them away, its going to get old very very fast. I know we're still at the start but like, really.
If 7+ girls, then someone is getting shafted, if 6 or so then they have barely enough time to give every girl 2 eps, but. Going from the OP, it seems there's going to be up to 7ish girls, maybe a bit more or less, and not counting the other misc supporting characters, though maybe they're just brief background
I cant 100% be sure, we see 3 guys, including the dude we know, though uhhhhwho knows. The two girls seem to be the two introduced in ep 1, and they show up this ep as well with anna, though we havent seen much of them. There's cu being introduced next ep, then two more girls, the purple one and the other one one, so if they show up in ep4/5?
So far its still early, no signs of any antagonist.
Sophie seems like a good girl, though well. Have to see how things go.
MeanEYE said: Okay, that's a drop for me. All these reincarnated MCs seem to keep only memories convenient to the storyline. How on earth can you forget what a "date" is. Even if you are the unluckiest, ugliest and most clumsy person on this planet at one point you had a crush. Not knowing what that is after decades of your life and seeing other people do it, even if you didn't, is impossible. This is turning into kind of romcom and am not liking it. It's probably going to be entertaining to some people but I don't find this kind of humor funny.
did you forget that he said his powers developed at 3? that he started fighting monsters at a young age?

I didn't forget anything. It's just a boring premise done too many times and executed poorly. Comedy also doesn't work for me. So even all the plot holes and illogical actions aside, I am not finding it entertaining.
Episódio divertido! Superou minhas expectativas... O encontro do Blade e da Sophie com a Arnest perseguindo eles foi bem engraçado e o final foi fofo.
Apesar da Sophie ser um clone, e aparentemente não ter relações interpessoais , eu senti que ela é bem pra frente (atacante). Por exemplo na hora de beber a bebida ela pediu para ele chegar mais perto e outros momentos também.
huh... the series is interesting, but I too still can't get MC's personality... think I'll watch this series later when I finish watching other series.
Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing*
Blade sure is a dense hero who fails to catch up on Earnest's change in her hairstyle, though she sends Sophie her way to him to train her up. That said, the Artification Great Hero project, which Sophie stems from, her real name is Sophitia Femto, the 12th interation of the Great Hero, though Gilgamesh has put an end to that program of commanding her to become a Great Hero just like Blade. Unfortunately, he does not know what's normal, and he immediately asks everyone for help, though that leads to a misdirection and demeanor that is funny lols.
From being normal to having a date with Sophie, Earnest and the other girls go stalking them, though their "date" is somewhat weird, from feeding fish to arcade games, and sharing a drink together to the amusement of the girls. Aside from being followed, it's a mission together to have fun. Sharing secrets between friends, Blade already knows of Sophie being the incomplete Artificial Great Hero who can only manifest powers for a limited time, she's the perfect clone. And for the legit Great Hero who has lost his powers, and of someone who doesn't want to be in that state in the first place, he's just bestowed with power that bears a lot of responsibility. That's the secret shared between the two.
Sophie is really coming up as an early waifu contender, though Blade has many aways to go.
Transitions & animation got this peppy oldschool style.
Blade Leonard & nurse all quite funny.
cute wacky date. didnt expect rando battle school show to get such decent backstories for them both, and Sophie basically an Ayanami Rei.
This anime seems somewhat enjoyable despite being just another stupid harem-style show... but seriously why TF did Earnest appear fully naked after eating Anpan? Of course I saw this part of "japanese culture" many times but this one is so random and disgusting it happens to be kinda funny
This might end up being nicer than I thought. Though I wish it got a little more budget for animation. The repeated motions and still frames are kinda hard to overlook.
Blade's obliviousness when he barged in to the girls' change room proves that he is no "normal" person lol He didn't even bat an eye when he saw those nearly naked girls, and he didn't even react at all when he saw Sophie's lack of clothing on her person when he asked her out lol
I'm not sure which direction this anime is going but this episode was both silly and got more serious towards the end. Blade was the hero and Sophie was an experiment to be the next hero, meanwhile Earnest followed them during their date (not sure if she heard the final part as I didn't see her hiding anywhere).
So yeah I'm wondering if Sophie is still intent on becoming the next hero but it sounds like she's free to do whatever. I am curious what direction this takes though.
@Alfredo-Sauce I think Earnest gave up and just gorged on tons of parfait lol
Estuvo mejor en aspecto de ritmo, es un ritmo mas normal ni rapido ni lento, el humor me gusta el disfutable sin llegar a ser ridiculo o tonto, me gusto el diseño y personalidad de sophie, pero desde el principio del capitulo di una hipotesis sobre ella y al final si le atine en casi todo, la verdad si era muy predesible la historia trasfondo de sophine pero igual me gusto el rumbo que quieren tomar el con ella
Why? Absolutely no respect for either public or private property. The characters just break things around town for the sake of completing a pointless date schedule and then again just for the sake of explanation.
Why would you break the beautiful decorative handrails in the park just to show off a skill? Who will fix it? Who will pay for it?
