| Pretty funny how Cid was ok with being a dog lmao. It is taking it's time, wonder what will happen next. |
| I like everything, ok |
| Oh my god the more I watch the mc the more I hate him. The way he died and got reincarnated was so stupid and then the stupid friends and the dumb shit he does it's all so annoying. I don't understand any this insanity |
Lawrencw said: FaAsian said: I like the way MC behaves doing what he wants and the anime basically has almost all the tags I like. So since the 1st episode it was good, if keep this pattern and have a good story it should be on my list But...maybe it's not possible as it seems to have 20 episodes and I don't know how far it will to the manga, you tell me :) Manga has 50+ chapters. It will adapt till the end of volume 4 of ln, which the manga will catch up to before anime ends. But yeah, the manga is great We are 3 episodes in and it's still on the 4th chapter, I wonder if the anime could even reach the james bond arc. |

akarow12 said: The anime lacks some context, but if you think he isn't still edgy and cringe in the LN, we read two different books. LostSpectre said: This episode follows the LN very closely, so I'm not sure what your issue is with it. This is a "regular" isekai, but while also making fun of certain tropes. the adaptation just bad. cid in anime likes a child who have serious chuninbyou sickness (edgy and cringy) while in manga & LN he act likes a man who dedicated entire life to fulfill his chuninbyoo dream. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
ZamielPayne said: It wouldn't happen before the end of the series, it would ruin the entire joke. I hope they can keep it (semi) believable though.Give me spoiler, will he eventually know that the cult really existed all along? |

| i fail to see what this show is trying to tell but at the same time it's actually decently entertaining so i suppose it's fine |

| Trying my best with english d-_-b |
| Decent episode but somewhat confused as to what's going on. Early on I figured out later that the opening scene must've been when Cid got killed by a truck, and later on it fast forwards to his current isekaied timeline where he enrolls at the same university as his sister. Later on, I figured there was a reason why Alexia said yes to Cid and we find out it's so she can avoid having to date Zenon. What I'm wondering about though is, if he is accused of possibly kidnapping Alexia, what about the train conductor guy that opened the door for her? We saw she get out but not Cid (I'm assuming he has a different exit). There's a witness there but I'm guessing he'll still be falsely accused and then Cid will reveal his true power or something and eventually find her. |
| This show is getting interesting. I like that Yandere girl lol |

| This episode has won me over, mainly because of Alexia, I did like the girl from episode 1, and I do enjoy the MC, but the whole Shadow Garden just feel so off for me, probably because there is zero development or things to have me care for them. And it seems like they will be the focus moving on, whereas Alexia is solely a side character... I will watch this for the comedy which has been enjoyable (but I want to check both manga and LN), but without any expectations since a good part of the characters I dont care about and find bland and unninteresting, when interacting with the MC. At least Alexia had some spice to her. |

| The bit about her tempting him with coins and him acting like a dog was probably the most hilarious part so far. (sitting cross legged and stretching over to get that first coin on the floor also strangely didin't look weird to me just LOL) otherwise... ARG darn cliffhangers! |

| Nice that Kana Hanazawa is voicing a character. Maybe we'll see more? His plan for staying in the shadows isn't going too well... Still not really sure what to think of this, but after 3 episodes I'd say its heading in the direction of just being generic. |
 |
| Still seems a bit fast paced, but hey, I'm getting used to it. Not quite sure what to think of this show, but I'll keep watching because its entertaining enough. |

| That Isekai that you didn't give anything to, but is now looking forward to the next episodes because it's so good Aquele Isekai que você não dava nada, mas que agora está ficando ansiosa pelos próximos episódios de tão bom que está. |
 |
| I didn't understand the final dialogue with the princess, why she got so mad? |
 |
| MC tries to live the background character school life. Proceeds to fail at it as he gets the attention of the entire school. He becomes the boyfriend of the most popular girl ever. Popular girl compensates him with money to act all lovey dovey with her. Does fencing practice with her. Absolute win win. Until she doesn't return to her dorm last night and shit goes down. |
 |
| Nice episode. That angle when Cid bent down to stare at the coin lmao. And also that moment he demolished that ice-cream cone O.o |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
