THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hmm, it would seems this episode relies on business logic rather than just standard isekai fighting gimmicks.

Sanada Masato is someone to keep an eye on with his clever mind. I guess this anime wants to showcase each of the main characters' skills and we got to see a lot of Masato. Also seems we got a lot of animal characters this Fall season

Can we just skip to the part where they will be steamrolling every villain ? I want to finally feel better when i'm self inserting.

This really is like a shield hero, but x7 and without the women hating part.

Not a bad episode.
So we have an episode focusing on Masato and his business skills.

Looking forward to how this will go.

Ah, yes, the one thing this anime was missing - a little kitten loli in miniskirt and thigh highs. Clearly.
At least Sanada's shenanigans make up for it somewhat.

My designated genres for this show: Isekai, Fantasy, Tropespam.

It's funny how the show is currently focusing on building up a business empire, while we get a cameo of the inventor girl having created a computer and working on finishing up a (nuclear?) power plant... somehow.

Way better than the first episode.
This pro economist is cool, and Ruru is cute, she seems to really love money too haha.
He's going to expand his market to the maximum I guess, that's interesting.

This was a big step up from last week's episode. Seeing as this is from the author that brought us Rakudai Kishi, no Cavalry, I have high hopes from this even if it's an Isekai.

So if going by this logic, episodes would be good or bad based who is the MC of that story arc. It`s a shame that besides merchant there`s only one other character that looks at least a bit interesting (inventor).

I can agree with you there,
only a handful of the prodigies are actually interesting to me.
I dont expect the swordswoman or the illusionist to have good stories

Yup this is kind of what I expected/hoped for.
Going for their respective fields ^^
Liked to see the merchants side, he's a cool character

Rooko was kinda interisting too? When she gets a more important role that'd be great
Otherwise she's just some loli-waifu-fill-in with no reason

With each episode the food/mayo combo is just gunna get weirder and weirder

These genius kids have some fuckin oddball taste in food

They've already done it in both episodes out... I feel like at this point they have to continue the trend and do it in every episode.
It's honestly the highlight.

The merchant is really good at roping people lol and ofc doing business too. The new loli is cute and lmao r u really supposed to put mayo on everythng u eat. Now mayo is gd stuff and a lot of people eat it with a lot of things but this is just overkill. Also this reminds me of Hijikata's obssession with mayo lol.

Akatsuki looks like he's having quite the fun time with the children. Despite their desire to explore this new world its nice that the group still works hard to help the villagers. Roux sure is cute. Reducing one's own profits while also gaining goods and allies for the long run huh interesting strategy. Despite the risk its good to see it paid off and allowed the village to gain the supplies that were needed. Mayo is proving to be quite the hit in this world. Looks like the merchants plan of drawing out the greedy merchant has worked. Can't wait to see him get crushed next ep. It will be war but a war fought by shop keepers and sales rather than blades and magic. Overall an excellent ep that focused on expanding the merchants personality and allow us to see how his skill set can help deal with one of the grave threats that the village faces which is that of greedy merchants. While still relatively new Roux really is quite the addition to the team both as a sales rep and for comic relief.

I like it! It's fun to see a story where it's not Trade Is Evil. This story makes me think of Dr. Stone and That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime.

The "The world's top X" was over the top. From now on I'm gonna think of it this way: Japan created some very talented children through DNA manipulation, and that is also why they all happened to be together. They are all very good in their field, but "the world's top X" was simply a PR line for the project.

This episode wasn't bad, but I wish they didn't feel the need to set up straw man villains in order to showcase their protagonist's abilities. If they really are prodigies, they should be able to face up against a more realistic scenario and still shine.

Clearly you missed the part of episode one where the inventor girl just goes "yeah i modified all of our phones to work in this world" because that's just how smart people work haha

You're confusing Tesla for Einstein. Einstein didn't invent anything really. Tesla is the man who pioneered wireless communication and also predicted the smartphone.

I wasn't confusing anything lol. I didn't mean to refer to Albert in relation to the telephone, more so just relating how he was a genius

I was meaning that Einstein wasn't a scientist. He was a mathematician, a very clever one sure, but not a scientist or inventor/engineer.

It's funny thinking about it though, cuz cellphones kinda need CELL, ie towers for telecommunication, or else satellites if they are satellite phones. They didn't explain squat XD
I'd believe it if they had a radio tower in the village, or some kind of resonator. For communication over the horizon, you'd need to have strong enough signals to bounce off the atmosphere.

Good episode!

Was really nice to see the pro economist taking action, and he really created a merchant company and also sided with maritime merchant, i am so much hyped to see the other company being crushed!

Next episode we will have a economic war, lets see what Masato had prepared for the war!

Also Roo is really cute, and Shinobu is an awesome spie "nin nin"!

Isekai economics this episode, the 1st step in establishing superiority in the new world.

Knowing Merchant Masato (plus Ninja Shinobu), he sure wouldn't take and rake losses for profit. So in an effort to trump the legality of business in the land, setting up a bazaar to help their own fellow men.

And whaddya expect...mayonnaise always takes the cake, with one big deal down.

And with the big battle incoming, Masato Sanada is the man to look out for. Honestly a better episode that diverges from the 1st in duties and obligations.
