yeah, not for me.

Reeks of "i'm 15 and angry at the world". His death wounds montage got me playing 'Linkin Park - In the end' in my head. Just cringe. No matter how good, gory, edgy(for a teenagers) the animation is, the world logic and the characters are just... silly. But it is telling a alot about the society that enjoys such stories. It also tells me, for a few seasons in a row, that the most hyped shonen show of the season is most likely just not my type of thing.

This episode was so good, I was not sure about this show since the first episode seemed very generic but this solidified my resolve to continue watching it.

Look man, not all of us are this mega otakus that know every manga of the past whatever years. I am allowed to say that as a "blind watcher", I was unengaged by the first 2eps of the total show because they demonstrated in abundance the kind of qualities(or lack thereof) of writing that I find are important for my enjoyment of the media. And if you think the world around you will love you more if you insult my viewing taste then, by all means, be my guest ;) :*

You're criticiseing society because people like this show, but you yourself has bouncing boobs are a profile picture.

good episode, though i can see they're rushing.
one complain i have to make, i'm sad we didn't hear these words from jin-woo. i feel like they didn't emphasize this scene enough, it was so quick and i didn't like it.
(small edit: when i made this comment i had like 5 mins remaining fo the episode, the ending made up for it lol)

Wow. This show is intense. I like it.

My only complaint is that this episode ended with a massive cliffhanger just like the last one. But it's probably a good thing. The pacing is really good and it's better that they didn't rush everything in one episode.

But I really would've preferred it if they made the first episode a movie like Frieren or Oshi no Ko. I think that would've been the best option.
@0451 its 2024 , cliffhangers have been a thing in all media forever lol... seems like a bit of a nit-pick

Got AoT vibes for a second there. That moment where the "God" smiles, it had striking similarity to the Titan that ate Eren's mother.

The concept of this whole boss battle is cool, and I enjoy the eeriness of the statues a lot. However, while I understand panicking in a life-or-death scenario, the way the characters responded felt almost too incompetent.

Ultimately, I have a hard time getting very invested in grim situations like this when the characters haven't been fleshed out enough for me to have a real reason to care if they survive. The majority of the party felt potentially expendable from the beginning, so I didn't feel much when they died. We have reason to care for the main character, but it's obvious that he'll persist somehow.

I haven't been very impressed so far, but it doesn't feel like the story has actually begun yet. Considering how hyped up this adaptation has been, I'm sure it'll get much better in upcoming episodes, assuming they do the manhwa justice.

The Dub for the second episode was released by mistake and got taken down soon after.

Is it just me or is this anime pretty overrated?

First two episodes have been boring af and the main character is just not interesting (so far).

When does it get good?

Much better than the first episode and just reinforces what I said about an hour-long first episode.

No expositions so that's a major W.

They definitely improved upon the source material. I read the original web-novel and the beginning of the comic version, and the anime made some subtle changes to make the beginning dungeon actually impactful, mainly by giving more life to the characters. Though I agree that those two episodes should've been just one 40 minute long episode like in Oshi No Ko and some others. Also, a minor nitpick would be how MC's leg wasn't pulverized after the statue stepped on it, lol. There was no way for his leg to be "cut" in two parts like it was shown in the anime.

This was so intense especially the scenes in the dungeon. However, this episode also showed a side of Jin-Wo as he realizes there are rules in that dungeon.

Episode also captured the despair and human emotions of the cast too. It felt hopeless as everyone is just trying to leave. Jin-Wo is definitely an important member of the group though, even if he's not that strong. I also find it kinda interesting they occasionally switch segments between this and scenes at school. They're also keeping the tone of the show viable including the bloodshed and just overall style. Another great episode.
PEAK EPISODE. Loved it to bits. LITERALLY DYING to watch the next ep.

@xXTensaZenXx I know it's a nitpick. But I don't hold it against the anime at all. So far, the pacing is very satisfactory. I just think it would've been better if the first episode of the series was a movie or something because that's the trend these days.
