Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai Episode 4 Discussion

I’m in love with the world building here. Really appreciate how they’re gradually opening up things and introducing our big threat for Ryo. FINALLY he’s got some competition in the form of the akuma and I gotta say, I think the introduction/fight today was awesome. The way they can create pocket dimensions and fight without anyone else noticing is pretty crazy. Animation was a little inconsistent, but it had some solid scenes especially towards the end and when the battle first started.

Ryo been dog walking this universe so it’s about time we got someone who can actually shake him up. If he didn’t have the fairy king’s robes he’d have been a goner. I wonder what the akuma are planning though. Ryo also really should let someone know that an evil species are attacking and planning something lmao. Very shocked he didn’t go straight to Abel and just went to buy books.

Other than that, I also enjoyed Ryo and Amon’s relationship developing. Amon’s a really nice dude and you can tell once he gets his conditioning sorted out, he’ll be a great asset to Ryo! Dont think those bullies will be messing with Ryo’s dorm mates again either 😂

Episode was entertaining overall, but the way the MC basically brushed off the akuma situation felt silly. Maybe he’ll tell Abel or the guildmaster or someone about the potential massive danger, or maybe there’s some good reason for him to keep quiet about it.
Just felt like a very lacking response for the potential severity of the situation.

The fight wasn't very well animated, but at least it didn't have a crooked design, so let's see, I really want to see him meet the elf soon, and for the romance to happen soon, I've been reading so much lately that I don't have time to read this one anymore, otherwise I would already be in

elf waifu not here yet. 0/10 🤣

wish he'd pressed the devil for more information, but hey, he survived. hopefully he can confide in someone about the encounter. seems important. even if their name is Albuquerque 🤣

If a wanted to see an OP protagonist explore typical dungeons with ant mobs, I would have continued watching Solo Leveling in season 2. I legit had to fast forward because the whole grinding low level mobs just feels like padding material. At least the encounter with the Akuma proposed some equal footing to an already way too resourceful MC, though it still lacks the charm of other more enticing fantasy shows, specially in this season. I'll stick for a couple more episodes, but more than likely this will go into my drop list.




OMG fanboys thinks that just because they loves mediocre fiction everyone should just stay quiet because lukewarm piss flavored beer is exactly that, lukewarm piss flavored beer.




Not really, it's incredibly derivative in it's narrative and unoffensive but flavorless characters and aside from the above average animation in the early episodes it's no different than your run of the mill isekai with guilds, dungeons and the most basic magic system.



Typical fanboy strawman. Who the heck in here is talking about battle shonen? or a lack of attention span? It's quite the opposite, the show lacks anything interesting to show that any other isekai haven't done before with way better flair, thus there's nothing to really pay attention to so far. Don't get all cocky because you love half baked shows and thus feel the need to feel special for liking them, you're not getting any kind of rewards on behalf of the producers for defending mediocrisy.

So far so good, but the MC speaks like he's talking to children. Constant use of this accent makes his tone feel condescending

How convenient that no one was watching ryo with the akuma. A giant plaza with tons of buildings with windows facing them. no one on the streets in the middle of the day. only ryo and the akuma in the whole city free to blast flashy spells without notice.

Sub par mediocre anime.

@pansz Honestly I thought it was pretty decent. But that might be my reference point being ruined from watching Beginning After the End last season lmao, compared to that show anything is better

@Aapjuh You didn't even read the context zzz
The Demon already said they created a dimensional rift thingy and Ryo happened to be the only one who sneaked inside, most likely because of his robe immunity to magic.

I'll do whatever the f*ck I want with my time, I don't follow orders from butthurt fanboys that get enraged when other people don't share their same thoughts in their own very secluded bubble.



I didn't quote your silly butthurt fanboy verbal diahrrea 3 times (use google to learn what multiquote is). I addressed 3 different points in your nothing burger paragraph, to which your only rebutal is nothing but yet again butthurt rather than addressing what I pointed out about the series being derivative. Not that I expect any better from fanboys using strawman to open up their defense statements.



Ah yes, the typical butthurt fanboy defense, claim other people are mad because they don't sit with their own personal values about mediocre fiction. Plus the cringe tiktok ipad kid emojies because that's the only way they can make any retorts.

Also it's hilarious that you say I'm coping. Your ignorance is astounding. In this instance you're the one coping, because your favorite anime isn't outstanding on most of it's assets aside from the above average animation, yet you're offended because me and the vast majority in the room call it mediocre, lazy and unimaginative. Keep inhaling that copium while you hug tightly your dollar store anime.

I might even watch the whole series just to spite you up and I know a butthurt fanboy like you will come barking at me on every post for not having the same low values or lack of criteria to analyze fiction.
