A pretty boring episode compared to the first one. A whole episode spent on slaying trees? That was fucking interesting and put him through so much! Well, the possible future was hilarious. He took the milk and never came back xD? Alright, it seems like we gotta wait a bit to get to the real stuff.

The opening with a depicting future of Michio and his harem...that's a pretty far-fetched thought process way off to god knows which timeline it'll occur.

Michio's objective for now to acquire Roxanne, is to go a labyrinth, but the risks outweigh the benefits as bandits maketh the adventurer(s) the targets. And to do all of this in 5 days, exploring the Vale Labyrinth is the only solution, and learning how to utilize the magic effects to his advantage, as well as picking items and measuring MP...everything just like your stereotypical grinding RPG.

Back to more grinding, and Michio got lucky by encountering more monsters in a secret room...that's a monster den. And being the beginner level adventurer, it feels like too much for Michio to handle that at least in partial thanks to Durandal he is able to be sane and escape barely with death skinning at the door.

Forget the labyrinth, let's hunt some bandits to earn riches faster.

Well, that's literally 80% of it, the manga is the exact same. Dungeon crawling with the occassional sex scene.

This episode had a much better pacing than the first one.

They didn't skip that many things, except the hotel where Michio is staying and the part where he goes to both the explorer and adventurer guilds to see how those two jobs work.

But the anime did a great job oversimplifying the many experiments that Michio does while in the labyrinth just so he can understand his own abilities.

But I found weird how they decided to start the episode 10 years in the future and apparently Michio has a son now, I wonder if that will show up more in the future.

Not a lot of ecchi on this episode which makes sense since it takes a while for any real ecchi thing to happen in the first place, if they adapt it right, then the next episode shouldn't have any ecchi scenes as well.

That first scene was kinda fucked up. I mean getting someone pregnant and then abandoning them and the child, It just felt so out of place for the Anime.

Maybe it's because I watch too many Isekai where the protagonist is OP but actually seeing the protagonist struggle fighting monster when they're still new to the world they were transported into is really nice to see.

Also, that ED what is that xD I love it for some reason

Maaan what was that first scene? What's the point of spoiling. Yeah all girls are in the opening, but still I don't wanna watch what WILL happen. There is a time and place for that :<

Also, I don't think I understood why he bought another sword when he already has the Durandal that is his only prized pocession. Why waste extra money on something you don't need? Is it better explained in the novel/manga?

i have no idea why but first episode i watched 3 times this is the only show i actually rewatch the first episode i really enjoyed it and honestly dont really follow , because a show like this u would expect the pace to be pretty fast and not see the process of him getting the money to buy her and i assume because second episode "future scene" that he got so many girls i honestly thought he would start with roxanne and we gonna see a flashback of how he got her etc.

so this is pretty strange but i like it, i wonder how can they fit all the girls in 12 episodes(altho i assume its only gonna be roxanne this 12 eps)

Great episode! We got a scene from the future it seems...
He has a child who doesn't know he isn't dead xD. Not sure it was the best idea to put the future scene in there though.
Michio needs to clear a labryinth to earn enough money to buy Roxanne. He also buys an empty skills sword to use so that his powerful one doesn't attract the attention of bandits.
He also gets the explorer job by entering the labryinth. Dungeon walk is a handy skill.
He beats the needle wood monsters fairly easily. That slowing down time (or monster attacks) skill is very handy!
Seems casting too many skills uses MP though he can recover it by beating enemies.
He only got 273 nars for 21 needle branches... not the best way of making money by far.
He teleported to the dungeon...and felt depressed again because he used MP lol.
He recovered it eventually.
He stumbled across a monster den!
He manages to beat them all but is exhausted by the end of it.

Looking forward to the next episode!

NGL, if you overlook the beginning of this episode, and only remember what happened after we see him in his room, this episode becomes much more entertaining, dealing with more game stuff, and him gaining more experience. It was a solid episode imo.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

Gotta make that money with items and quests. Tbh, this episode felt really similar to the previous ones and probably more to come. To me, Michio hasn't demonstrated any remarkable skills yet but I guess he has to do what he needs to survive.

It seems the show places emphasis on levels and weapons as well, but I do want to see other varieties besides the generic sword.

If you read the manga it gives more, don't know what will be left out in the anime but it seems setup for a slow build first season then a faster pace second season, even though the manga is more slice of life in another world with some fighting but more emphasis on him building his life at the start, I wouldn't be surprised if alot of people say the story is moving slow, I honestly think it's geared to a slice of life/eechi harem audience but the story is definitely there to do something with it will just depend on how people receive the anime, I hope if the anime tanks then they will still continue the manga and that may save them for a second season later to try again

So the open was from the future seeing the whole harem assembled. If he is the kid dad he needs to give him more than a sword he most likely rich.

He beating his brain out to get the money for Roxanne I was figuring he buy her at the end guess I was wrong. It seem to me finding a few more of those trap room with a legion of monster would be easier and safer than bounty hunting although it will make the surround area.

Let's hope the next episode has some ecchi moments

No booties this episode but this surely has some promise after watching it. A story of a possible future, I'll take that note because I was surprised that they'll be showing an after story of Michio with his harem already there. And yes I am shocked that he has a kid and he has it when he was just starting out, but let's presume that it's just an imagination, for now let's stick to the present.

Looks like Michio got his first true fight with him barely staying in the belts to fight off the trees. Yet that cannot make him the amount of money he'll need to acquire Roxanne, so I guess bounty hunting is the solution, I guess that's an alternative. Alright episode with some questionable direction, what is clear that the ED is skippable and this show is not on the cusp of that (yet).

As I understand it, the first minutes of a possible future was a reference to the web version of the novel, so when I read the manga, I came across comments that in the novel, Michio spent the night in the village with a girl from the same village. Of course, only those who read the web novel can confirm this information, I didn’t read it, I just came across such information.

Damn, this "possible future" is only going to make me even sadder by the fact that Vesta, the red head with the b00ba first appears in volume 8 and I don't even know if the anime will even get that far.

They laid out the carrot bait, i'm biting and will probably get scammed.

bro yea i completely agree. i havent read the manga or nothin so i was shook when i saw this and i was like dang. totally ruined the whole mood

The first 3 minutes in episode 2 felt like the end of the series:/
Which completely destroyed my motivation as well as knowing in one fell swoop how it will end, and how he didn't care one bit, of making her pregmant.

Sad that there was no ecchi besides some boob physics at the very beginning from the tall busty red haired girl, but I did enjoy the episode. The way the world works is pretty in depth and interesting to learn about, and Michio trying to survive the monster house was pretty intense.

Now while I think this was good, I’m here mainly for the ecchi and when there’s literally no ecchi I get a little upset lol, but I’m pretty sure it’s all on the horizon, at least that final Roxanne shot was a nice tease.

I did not like the beginning 4 minutes. Having a reminisce scene in the second episode made me think episode 1 was a fluke, but thankfully the rest was great. Tfw all thats different from this ecchi harem anime is the heroine isnt easily obtainable and the battles are actually well animated and detailed puts it levels over all the others. Imagine spending so much money on twigs though

So, for the first part it seems like either they just wanted to showcase the harem without skipping content, or maybe they already ran into production issues and needed filler unrelated to the main story line.

The whole scene was weird for a manga reader.

Including this while skipping the language issues (a major reason to buy Roxanne) and skipping his suicidal thoughts back in Japan (A major reason he was able to look forward and focus on the future) seems weird. Also disappointed they seemed to have skipped the bandit weapon sales scene.

Plus I get that they wanted to get through the story as fast as possible, but doing the contemplation bit in the city rather than in the village seemed rushed.

So far, it seems like they did a respectable job in the fights, but they are skipping much of the nuance to get through the content and reach the harem state (60 fan scanlated manga chapters at the time I am writing this, and in that only 2 of the "Harem" have even been introduced)

I like the fact that losing MP too much makes the person fall into depression. It's just like real life in a way when you're losing the will to do anything when you repeatedly do it without any break.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that flashforward at the beginning of the episode, showing Michio with his fully formed harem visiting the village where he was first summoned.

So at some point, he had sex with one of the villagers, and she had a child as a consequence of that. Well, at least he gave his son a little present.

So as dungeon crawling killing Wood Needles is too much of an effort for the amount of money he gets out of it, Micho will now go bandit hunting.

(Spoilers for Ep1&2) I did NOT read the source material of this Anime, and I am simply judging it from face value as a standalone show, as many shows are.

I do like how they are doing a lot of world building in this episode. A lot more showing how the 'game' mechanics work and keeping the immersion, despite the Anime's inherently ecchi nature (There's literally an uncensored version). Many Isekai Ecchi Animes don't have this kind of world building, as many just skip it to get straight to the girls (cough cough How Not To Summon A Demon Lord, cough)
I do like that it starts off with a flash-forward, doing even more to emphasize both the world building and what to expect in terms of girls.

However, the plot is advancing fairly slowly, and there are a few cliché moments (like the secret entrance). I also was left after the episode thinking "That's it?", because if you break it down, there were only 3 scenes in the whole episode:
1.)MC goes to the dungeon for the first time, and explains a lot about game mechanics and MP. He sells what he collects at the end of the day
2.)MC goes back to the dungeon early, and finds a secret room where he's trapped. He battles his way out, with more loot.
3.)A much shorter scene where on his way back into the city, he talks with NPCs/Villagers about a dead body found outside the city gates. After learning that the person died because of a bounty, decides to take bounties himself, thus setting the stage for the next episode.

I'm not saying that "it's not lazy work" at all. A huge amount of world building that could be used in the future has been established in this episode, and that's incredibly bold and unique. It's just that using the entire episode to do this instead of spreading it out, for example, to the end of the last episode, would have allowed the story to progress more quickly. Instead, very little of the plot has been explored, thus the early quarter of the anime is likely to be rushed. I'm also worried that if the upcoming episodes in the series are going to continue in a strictly worldbuilding direction, it will leave less and less room for the storyline to progress, and thus make the latter half of the anime rushed and unthoughtful. Keep in mind that I'm assuming that the anime will have only 1 season. The flash-forward shows that there will be at least 5 girls in the anime to be introduced. Even Date A Live Season 1 had 5 (and a half because Mana) girls, and I think we can all agree that it was pretty rushed. They did better in season 2, and way better in season 3 (haven't seen season 4 yet), but I'm worried that this anime may also fall into the same thing, with the difference that now they're 2 episodes in and haven't fully introduced Roxanne yet. If this continues as is, then it will likely be even more rushed than Date A Live.

In short, thighs save lives, slave should save, and move the plot before it's too late and you're rushing to fit the last 3 'main' characters.

This better be the only slow ass no-ecchi build-up episode because now there's 10 left and 5 girls to show off. I don't give a shit about michio in dungeons, rush that shit, we already know he's overpowered.

If passione is going to faithfully adapt this then that means they might not officially get to at least Sherry which tells me the inclusion of the other four girls is basically a bright "read the LN" sign which I'm not doing, I want to see Sherry, Miria and Vesta get porked not just Roxanne.

I think there is some confusion here, the beginning of the chapter is not original material from the anime, it is part of the novels, an extra chapter derived from skipped events in the anime, during the fight against the bandits the village adventurer dies, to michio his belongings are given to him and he decides to give them to the widow Michio is captivated by her beauty and during the night he was expectant for a possible visit from her that does not happen, the extra is a "what if?" about the night visit with the scene in the future shown, it does not affect the original story at all

This is looking like a drop for me with the stark lack of ecchi and from what I've read on message boards the ecchi is sparse. The story I could care less about because its isekai. You've seen one then you've mostly seen them all. Might just skim the manga to see if it's worth it but why even get Uno Makoto, the master of ecchi himself, to design characters if you're not going to have that much ecchi?

It is not the end of the series, it is a separate story about events that were skipped in the adaptation, leading to the creation of the extra chapter what if? of the WN has nothing to do with nor does it affect the original story

BRO! WTF WAS THAT FUTURE SCENE AT THE START!?!? I read the manga and then carried on the story from where it left off when reading the Novel so him fucking a human village girl and having a kid is HUGE news to me. Bruh! and then he dips after leaving the kid a sword. i don't know what to make of this xD kinda wanna read the novel from the very beginning to see if it mentions him sleeping with a villager now or if thats just something the animators did on there own

edit: "possible future" 10 years later and his recent harem member is the elf still, bruh now that i re-watched it i'm convinced this ain't it xD this aint the future of the story. surely there'd be another girl after her. and why is he still wearing the stolen sandles 10 years later? i don't know guys. i might have to read the web novel version or something

The opening was definitely an anime original. I’ve read the webnovel and this scene was never in there
