ArcV7 said: I feel the same. I feel thay it doesn't take enough time for each scene. It's unfortunate because the story itself has been really good imo, but a lot of possible emotional scenes didn't get me because things are moving fast and I'm still processing the situations.Am i the only one who find this super rushed ? |

| Tragic episode. Will finally made his very first friend, Menel :D |

| Everything was great and I really enjoyed the episode until I saw ... the fated ... "recap episode" at the next week's preview :( Luthandorius said: Yeah. I hoped for a female char - with the elves. First thought (before he got introduced and only knowing him from OP) that this was a female character lol. :D Please no! The most awesome thing that this anime has is that it's not an harem. We don't need yet another isekai harem, Saihate no Paladin feels like such a breath of fresh air after all this time. |
| Alright, Will finally succeeded to release the poor village from the demon control. Its an easy takes. As expected, many people died and some others turned into a nasty being. Menel might be uneasy with those view. But Will with all the lesson and experience from his parents could overcome the situations and brought them to the light of Gracefeel. Menel and Will met Marple, which ofc already turned out as the ghost, to gave them all one last chance of lecture, and an objective. Surprise how human could hold out their soul into such a form like Marple. But ofc all the question remain unanswered because the person herself already went into the afterlife. Well, at least with all of the fast things goin on, finally, officially, with a pleasure, Will acquired a new fried. Yeah, a believed friend. Good for you, Will. He finally believed. But too bad, the next is actually a recap, which somehow giving me a little bad taste on my mouth. Alright, then.... |

| This show feels like it could have been a lot better, it had potential, but it was ruined by lackluster production. The emotional moments don't land well even though the built up is genuine, seems like a sign of shitty direction. |
| The crying scenes in this anime does not feel like the characters are crying at all, I feel like the voice acting is off, while lacking tears. |

| A meh episode. 5/10 might just be what this anime is. |
| Menel is such a tsundere, and our paladín is such a half-elf killer. Dreystah said: There is a lot of gay tension between Menel and Will now, kind of weird for an anime that's focused a lot on religion up until this point. Don't worry about it. Gracefeel is a fujoshi so she won't mind. |

| Good episode, but I feel like the show could have been a whole lot better. The presentation just feels kind of bland. The story is good, but the visuals and I guess voice acting too does not do it justice. "You do have a pretty face." Ey yo Will, I mean that's true, but that ain't the right time to say that lmao. Will should take a look at a mirror though. |

| Contrary to a lot of opinions here, I don't think the problem is the voice acting. I like Will's voice actually and the overall voice acting is fine. The big problem here is the animation, it feels off in a lot of times. That added to the overall fast pace and poor direction makes the emotional scenes kinda empty. I love the character design, though. And as I said, I like the voice acting and the story is really good, so even though the animation is weird, this anime is still pretty good. An interesting fact are Will's inner dialogues. Like how he almost apologized because of his habits from previous life, or like when he mentions how hard must be for Menel to have a long life spam and see all his dearest people die while he is still young and will probably live for some hundred years. I feel like this side of races like Elf are not mentioned pretty often in anime. At least not the ones I usually watch. Will is cute and voice by a woman, Menel is pretty to the point a lot of people thought he was a girl. I see what they are doing here and I honestly don't dislike it. Might even ship depending on how they develop. What I like about this show, is that even though our main character is extremely strong, is not that he just got teleported to another world, got super powers out of nowhere and no one can match him. We had some episodes of build up to show his growth and why he is so strong now. People may say that an entire cour should be right way to go if they wanted to really develop him, but considering the cost to make the anime longer, asking for that would be the same as asking for an even weaker animation. Was starting to get hyped only to know next episode is a recap. Sad. |
| Damn anime has a concept that's different from the cliche dumbfuck or evil goddess tropes and people are calling it a cult propaganda or some shit wtf. What's wrong with people? It's a bit disappointing that the next episode's gonna skip next week :( Really enjoying this. |
| I also felt that it was rushed. Menel just sort of jumped into his breakdown with his grandma so fast, it felt like they cut out much of the build-up. His shift in personality and opinion on Will seemed to come way too quick. I don't know if this was something from the source material, or the show is trying to fit in too much within 12 episodes, but I couldn't get invested because things just happened so quickly and we didn't get time to process it. To be honest, I'm considering dropping the show. I like the story, I like the characters, I love the lore. But the execution's been pretty meh, and I want to make room in my schedule for more satisfying shows. |
| He found a cute first friend, I wouldn't mind if they were both homo. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
During this episode, it was possible to see the difficulties that William would go through when he saw that this world is not only full of adventures |
| Will doesn't have good eyes. The best thing about Menel is not his face, but dem thicc thighs. So far, this anime has been valuing life and death, literally, with a Goddess. Many themes that are supposed to be subtle are presented right on the face instead, somehow making everything lukewarm. There's this freshness compared to the average isekai, but dullness at the same time as a fantasy. Hopefully this is not the best the show has to offer. |

MenchiK1 said: Going down hill fast and a recap episode is not going to help :( Was it really ever going uphill? That being said I couldn't agree more |
| This show is actually one of the good shows of this season. I really hope this show gets the recognition it deserves and it gets a s2 |
on 
| The pacing is really killing any emotional impact these events could have had: Menel's 180 on Will came way too quick, then his breakdown with Marple came about way too quick and she left way too easily. The subtlety in these scenes, and the general "tell, don't show" nature of this episode was a big disappointment. It also doesn't help that the story is becoming more generic ever since Will left the ruins. It's a shame, as I do think this could still work very well with better pacing, but it looks like this is gonna be butchered by only being given a cour when it very clearly needed two for the story it's trying to tell. |
| The pacing of the show is so slow, by the time this gets going it will be finished, it really needs a split cour. |
| This has become such a boring show after his undead parents died. 5/10 |
Hayuume said: What I like about this show, is that even though our main character is extremely strong, is not that he just got teleported to another world, got super powers out of nowhere and no one can match him. I agree that it's better than the goddess just throwing them at him, but now that we're here how different does it really feel? We still have a really nice guy smashing through the setting with overwhelming strength just like many other isekai. The show had a neat mystique with the undead family, but now I'm struggling to keep interest. |

The show had a neat mystique with the undead family, but now I'm struggling to keep interest. I was talking more plot-wise. At least he has a reason to be strong. He practiced/learned for years and got the goddess bless as a final touch. That said, I agree that doesn't change how things are right now. It is more acceptable at least. I'm still interested in the story, but would lose the interest really quick if next episodes are just him smashing things with no real challenge. |
| Menel's inclusion in Will's demon extermination expedition does help a lot, even if they can't get along and just for the sake of completing errands. The overall animation in this episode felt so shallow, if next weekend's recap episode isn't already indicative of obvious production issues. Will is just ploughing through situations on easy mode, and saving an undead with the Blessing of Gracefeel. Meeting up with old Marple in her ghostly self, and Menel's frustration of not being able to save his people was better illustrated in the manga. What a traumatic memory for Will to take care of Menel while old Marple can rest easy and depart in good health. Another village lost to the demons, and the Beast Woods of Southmark villagers have no choice but to commence a funeral to honour the lost and celebrate what achievements have been done. Menel's backstory of being born in the elven forest, only to be marginalized as an outsider and doing odd adventurer jobs, in betrayal from a comrade and saving grace from Marple. To see a hunter like Menel fall from grace, I can relate to him in some ways, and Will was his saving grace to stop his erratic plans and be loyal through Gracefeel's prayer. Will has earned his first friend Menel, and it's a man-to-man, heart-to-heart talk. |

It's about a paladin and paladins tend to be more on the religious side of things. If it was about a witch then it would be more about black magic or magic in general, if it was about a thief then hands down it would be about stealing and if it was about a knight then chivalry and all the other things about knighthood would be its subject. You get it now? |

| Damn, that character development between 2 of them were really good. |
 |
| Quite a sad and emotional episode. The scene of the burned-like undead kid was heart-wrenching. That granny was Meneldor's foster mother in a sense, since he never knew his biological parents and she took him in. As for Will it appears that he made his very first friend in this world :) |
 |
| WILLL WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU😭😭😭 mentel: i was born from a father nobody knew, i was different from everyone and they called me a disgrac- wll: damn bro ur rly pretty |
| At least they killed the demons in the village but that's still sad, especially for the Elf that sees everyone he loves dying and dying because of his long life, though now seems like Will finally made his 1st friend, that's great! |
 |
| I like Menel a lot more after this episode. It's nice that Wil has made a friend in the outside world. |

| I couldn't keep my face straight during this episode. The theme of the ep is sombre, but whenever anyone addressed Meneldor with the diminutive of his name it killed the mood for me, the contraction of his name (Menel) in Polish means hobo. |
| That scene with the undead kid was rough. Poor kid.. I’m glad Will managed to free his soul and the others too. On a lighter note, happy to see Will making his first friend. Excited to see these two go on more adventures as the show progresses. |
| Will really is representative of a good hearted Paladin |
| I'm really happy to see a show that doesn't treat faith/religion as always some evil entity or a punchline for jokes. Not that there isn't room for that, it's just it's not always bad, you know? Not only is it a literary device that's overused, but it's a really ignorant and cynical look at something that is much more complicated, just as anything in life is. One last thought: what the hell was Will saying when he said bro had a pretty face in response to him talking about having to do unspeakable acts to survive? That at the least deserved a punch to the face, and it seems totally out of character. Was the author on drugs when they wrote that? Like, textbook bad writing. Was the writer trying to show that Will is unaccustomed to being around others? We already saw that, but he still has memories of his past life so that doesn't make sense. I honestly don't get it whatsoever. At least Menel took it in stride, but wow, way to make the most awkward joke at the most awkward time, and it wasn't even funny to begin with. There's times I come across writing that irritates me or confuses me either in anime or in literature but that one is pretty high up there. |
