- About those 3 sto... heroes being useless.
Yes, not bad writing per se, but that fact being repeated to us several times on every episode is kind of annoying.
This combined with the fact that other key information is being brushed with only short (out of context) on screen appearances is not how good writing is supposed to be...
Too much focus on the obvious things and not enough focus on the hints for future developments.
- About how wrong is to have gamer mindset.
But this world works like a game! Every knowledge of this kind would be an advantage.
Even the most mediocre players know that different monsters have different weakness. Usually there are special spells or items to reveal those weakness or maybe hints in their origin story. In absence of such information you will hit them with everything till something works.
But our guys don't do that...Shield Hero the least experienced in games is doing it.
Who has the game mindset here?
Why those ex gamers act like never touched RPG?

They all attacked the thingy at the same time using the element they assumed the monster was weak to. By the time any of their attacks landed on the monster the rest of their blows were already in mid-motion.

Besides which, even if the heroes did end up throwing three different elements at the boss, they wouldn't be able to figure out it's weakness if they used those three elements at the same time. So what if one of the attacks was super effective? The other attack did no damage to the monster, and a third hero even healed him so the boss is still on full health.
Try and figure out his weakness from that experiment.

The only reason the Shield hero got to look smart is because he didn't even have a weapon to try and fail to do any damage to the wave boss.

Love that veteran adventuring lady, but I CAN'T with the princess's pointless antagonism of Naofumi and Raph. This was a pretty good episode for the main reason I'm keeping up with this series, really cool monsters and magic animation.

But I've been wondering, where exactly is this series going. I thought it would be the wave but then that came in ep 5 or 6 and I've really liked the shield hero travelling around helping people and stuff but it seems kind of like something to do in between "the plot", like doing sidequests between the story events, except I can't figure out what the main story is supposed to be. At least the appearance of that woman (the raven invader I assume] seems to be making things happen.

Also like shouldn't the four heroes be working together. That's what I thought a few episodes ago when I realized they're all different roles that should work together as a team. Is it cause the king wanted to split them up to maximize the good they could do or can they just not stand each other.

I'm glad this series has 2 season, it'll be interesting to see how far it gets into the source material and how they end it.

Nice Episode, I can't get over the scene of the new skill Iron Maiden, hahaha...

Also as a kind of a side note... it's funny read all of the other opinions here, but it's expected to be that way if some anime only or even if they did read the manga, (I'm just out of the LN for the moment) the main reason why the other heroes can't be on par with naofumi even if they are like 20+ levels above him it's because of their mind set of the world, thinking it's just a game, and that alone can change one's perspective and methods to approach many situations; if I remember right I believe later on after finishing the church arc it is explain -more directly- that fact, but as I said, it's to be expected from anime only... otherwise I'm shocked that you couldn't figure it out :b ... but it's ok, just giving my thoughts here, I would like to clear other points some other people have but that includes changing some pov of things for some people and that's just annoying to do, so... yeah :b

Loved this episode. It's times like these when I am happy that I don't read books, manga an light novels. I typically can love certain series and movies and hear nothing but complaints from others because it doesn't live up to it's original publication.

The only people I hear complaints of this anime and Slime is from people that read their previous media source. Both are my favorites.

Don't get me wrong, Even not reading the manga I tend to skip fillers as they don't seem to flow with theo storylines. I can tell that One Piece is going WAY to slow and that Claymore's ending was too abrupt.

Damn, this wave was intense, the other heroes showed once more how incompetent they are, doing what they want while they cant defeat the enemy without cooperation.

The sword hero is the only one of the other three heroes that is decent!

Naofumi was the true spotlight in this episode, with Raphtalia and Filo, of course, he showed what he is capable of, and why he is the best, even Glass recognized him as the only hero there, that moment was priceless!

Myne complaining, when she cant do nothing! And Filo at the end calling spear hero a sore loser was priceless!

Naofumi had to use her berserk stance from shield, i am glad he managed to control himself with Raphtalia's help, and diddn't expect filo to get in berserk for aswell!

Seems the wave havent finished yet, Glass showed up, and seems she is strong, and also awesome for recognize Naofumi as the only hero there!

1. Could I deduce that from the anime (not knowing beforehand to pay attention to the types of their attacks) or this is one of those "Check the source and anything will be revealed to you!"?
2. Aaaand?

Yep, acting like noobs who never played RPG games...which is like unexpected from them.

If you want to prove that his advantage is thinking outside of the gamer perspective - make him win with some real life tactics or the others loose from relying too much on game logic - miscasting magic, broking armour or some important items, enemies acting way smarter and without pattern...

What a great episode! Naofumi makes good combos 👌. With a group of 3, Naofumi proved to be much stronger and smarter than the other heroes. It is the voice of reason among the four. And he is a true hero, the girl who came along with the wave was the only one who recognized him as such and with good reason.
I hope that over time Naofumi can control the shield of anger.
Psdt: Seeing the old woman fight in such a way made a great impression on me. LOL 😂.

Dayum, it gave me tiny chills to see Naofumi's transformation in his "darker" form !

Was also cool to see the 4 heroes party being "united" (not really in the spirit but on the paper) for once. Can't wait next week to see how this fight will be.

Um yes? Were you watching it? The scene was like:

Not-Ren: Thunder Arrow
Spear Dude: Lighting Spear
Ren: Shocky sword!

Onomatapea: BAM! BAM! BAM! (10:50 you can see at least two different lightning attacks striking the thingy)

Ren: It is stronger than I thought
Spear guy: Are our attacks even affecting it?
Not-Ren: (off screen) We'll get nowhere with lightning element attacks.

Naofumi: Filo use wind stuff.

and no I am not quoting any source material.

I was watching mainly for Malty's ass.

Alternate_Wraph said:

Because of the lack of beforehand knowledge how important are those to the plot I didn't bother to notice that they are doing practically the same thing. At that point I assumed they knew their RPG stuff.
It's my fault not using the known plot patterns to predict them fail in such basic way.

How stupid can the other heroes be? They still think the shield hero is evil despite all evidence, and they don't say anything when Malty acts the way she does. They should have realized the truth by now.

As in visual representation of the events which the LN doesn't have. The adaptation has changes that deviate both from the LN and manga which deviate significantly from the WN. The anime adaptation clearly lacks backstory elements of the LN including most explanations like stats and weapon changes. It is more similar to the manga in this and its story pacing regard.

I admit that anime really can't follow LN completely, there are some minor differences, but you should be able to understand animation, because time is limited, they have to cut some for adjustments because LN is too dense, unless they intend to make 400 episodes or more like what happened to Naruto and one piece

Sweet mother of Baby Jesus, you're asking me to endure this exquisite patience for another 10,11 weeks? That's a tough one.
ON the other hand it gives me plenty of time to organize my "She Had it Comin and Boy Did it Come" party. Food, drinks, music and Filo paper masks for everyone.

1. You don't need to be rude.
2. Again the WN is not canon as the LN and Manga deviate away from it in book5 of the LN and whatever chapter that the 3rd wave since being summoned takes place in the manga.
3. Seeing as anime has a secondary objective of promoting the source material and draw in new sales, its hard to see that the copyright holders for the story, would adapt from something they can't make money off of.
