| Quality Queen. |
| I liked it, a huge improvement on episode 1 imo. I haven't read the LN, but compared to the manga there were fewer changes for the worse. The pacing was better and they didn't inexplicably make the episode 50% infodump when the manga was structured fine. |
| It was better than the first episode, thats about the best thing i can say about it |
| So their taking the path of the manga which is a shame because the LN was way better in my opinion. Still it's nice to see that they went with something here after that disaster which was the first episode it's a bit rushed but since an entire episode was already wasted i can't really complain. |
pieofspy said: Was getting hope that it's going to be better than the first episode, and in fact, the first half of episode was good, until CGI monsters showed up and I dropped this anime quicker than ever. Haven't even finished till the credits. I don't know why they are convinced it looks good, decent, or even passable to release as such. The instant it shows up it just turns this series visually and conceptually into a big pile of shit. And then someone had to actually have the idea that it was not only worth and justified in having such horrific CGI, but in structuring episodes in such a way to focus 10 or 15 minutes on "battles" with them (that don't even move) or make that the focal point and centerpiece of the episode. 1.) Why would you release it as such to begin with? 2.) If you somehow had no other choice - financially, time-wise, whatever - then why would you self-sabotage the series to put so much focus on it? |
| Aight dropped it. |

Kur4y4m1 said: Tell me, why are you guys really hate the show just because of a mere CGI? It's not like the CGI it's as bad as Ex-Arm's right? It's still watchable for me. Because the CGI is horrific and distracting to the core - when something looks that extremely and glaringly fake, bad, and shoddily constructed, it takes you out of the show completely. Especially when the show/writers/director/creator themselves choose to focus on it with a substantial portion of the episode's runtime. It looks like a crude shockwave animation made by 5th graders rendered on a Windows 95 back in 2001, is completely out of place, without a trace of fluidity, flow, adaptability, dynamism; not integrated at all into the action, and just stands, floats in place, and flops around clumsily and hideously, barely even moving. Usually things with this level of care taken and effects traditionally whether a TV show, movie, or game, get sold for $2.99 in a Walmart bargain bin and collectively written off as D-tier schlock. I don't know why people keep mentioning other series with CGI being even worse as if that somehow makes something awful any better. Something awful is still something awful. There's always an example of something better or worse for anything ever in existence, whether it's CGI, any other aspect of animation, anything in anime period, or anything in life in general. That's how scale and comparisons work. But something being worse in no way changes the state of a gutter-tier and horrendous thing being gutter-tier and horrendous. Why do people keep mentioning Ex-Arm? Whatever the quality of the CGI of that series: A) Doesn't affect me, because I've never once watched it B) Has no bearing on this show It can't be downplayed or dismissed as "a mere CGI" when 10 minutes or more of the episode are spent looking at a pile of shit. |

| Better than the first episode for sure, now I wondered if it was intentional or just a major messed-up by the episode director. Anyway quite enjoyed this episode. |

TsutanaiFuun said: dude I feel you but this cluster fuck of an adaptation shouldn't sour you on the true story,the world is explained as part of exposition naturally, while the monster spawns aren't fully explained it's explained that it's actually a monthly thing (and the amount of monsters weren't as many as in the anime, like 100-200 max not 10k) then the newer ones turned out to be lesser demon manipulation.(which again is explained in the ln/manga but not in the anime) The problem with this adaptation is it misses plot, outright messes up the order things happen, misses important information, the pacing is messed up so it sucks. And honestly this reeks of funimation meddling and censorship cause a lot of the lewd scenes have been cut so far and some of those scenes contain info. Example dunbalf shouldn't have gone to arkite until after visiting the silver link towers in silvervale. (Which is no where near arkite's capital) Eh I'm not really feeling this one. Even the cute girls aren't helping when the story is so boring and everyting that's happening in this world doesn't make sense, we are given no reason why tf those monsters are appearing, world is not explained properly, in fact nothing is explained. Not able to keep me wanting for more. In most animes you are left with wanting more but this anime was unable to accomplish that even with 2 episodes. I just don't fucking care for the characters, I don't care what happens to their kingdom, I don't care if Danblf fucking dies. Gonna drop this one, this is going to be the first anime that I'm going to drop. Though I don't want to judge it too harshly and will watch one more episode, gonna give it one more chance. If this mediocrity is maintained in next week's episode as well I'm 100% dropping this. This episode was a 3/5. The story is mostly slow adventure and mystery but it does it properly. The cockatrice fight should have taken twice as long as well. Do yourself a favour read the light novel or the manga(which is a decent adaptation of the ln) Some of the ln illustrations for the parts we have so far.           The above account for episode 1-2 As you can see save for the battle it's none existent in the anime. Oh and bonus what the silver tower insides are supposed to look like  |

Judging by the illustrations and what you said the LN or manga should be more entertaining, it's obvious that anime is doing a very poor job in adapting the LN. I guess I'll check out the LN.

neokiva said: And honestly this reeks of funimation meddling and censorship Why would Funimation have control over excluding or censoring any content if it's a Japanese series? Funimation is a U.S. company. I thought the only censorship controversies involving them were censoring, localizing, or otherwise inserting inappropriate political or cultural dialogue into English subtitles since they provide the first set of subtitles for some series? Or do they have executive privilege now to do such things in the capacity as a co-producer? Anyway, a slow adventure and mystery fantasy sounds amazing. If only we didn't get such rushed and cheap utter garbage in its stead. And will probably continue to get as long as they insist on pumping out as many anime series as possible, not dedicating the resources and care required for each one because quality now means nothing over quantity, and forcing them into this arbitrary and completely constricting and neutering 11 - 13 episode format which means all you can get is a flipbook of contextless "highlights" with no proper groundwork, build-up, and emotion so it's like looking at a slideshow of stills and about as enjoyable. |

Or do they have executive privilege now to do such things in the capacity as a co-producer Funishit are known for they wokeness and since they were bought by Snoy it got even worse. Also censorship due to non-Japanese producer is happening in this season - Fantasy Bishoujo is co-produced by billibili and since Xinnie the Pooh hates fun, they are making everything stricter in chinese productions (like censored costumes in Genshit). |

| Kinda sad Mariana was waiting for Danbalf for 30 years. Always cooking and cleaning, for him. Good thing Mira is there. A bit bland episode. Only the CGI is only thing that's bad. |

| From an old bearded man to a cute loli waifu. Heh |
| So now his name is Mira and it takes place 30 years after the events of the 1st episode... for some reason the NPC became sentient and so he(she?) should hide his true identity and will just stay under Mira's name as the loli's pupil of his previous character, though it doesn't change everything because the same thing happens and he fights goblins while being OP and summoning extremely OP invocations, lol. |
 |
| 30 years is a long time, poor Solomon dealing with those horrific cgi creatures alone... On a more serious note, this second ep is a lot better than that super bland first ep. |
 |
| dang no MMORPG with summoner who can summon armies like her, would be fun to summon a squad |
| I don't understand, did I miss something. So basically it was just a basic cosmetic character change item that changed him then he hit save and fell asleep. Then he woke up 30 years later and it's no longer a game? |
| This episode has given me a hankering for fried chicken, I think I might have some karaage for lunch lol. When the giant chicken became black, all I could think of was how black chicken make good soup haha. That armored beast was cool though. I like this series so far, it may be kind of run-of-the-mill atm but I don’t mind. I’m kind of a sucker for all things Isekai anyways. |
Muow said: that's about right :DI don't understand, did I miss something. So basically it was just a basic cosmetic character change item that changed him then he hit save and fell asleep. Then he woke up 30 years later and it's no longer a game? didn't miss a thing, unless it was cut out |
| Danblf goes by the alias Mira, the disciple of Danblf. He and king Solomon continue their roleplay but the difference is there was a huge 30 year time skip and everyone just adjusts to the status quo. Mira now has to take missions from Solomon but before that she needs to demonstrate her power to her future comrades. Honestly the pacing is a massive issue, it feels like some details are just said and not elaborated like the time skip or the transition from the game world to this new real world. |
| I'm guessing the game manifested itself as a new reality and they all got isekaied into it? I don't know, someone please spoil me the secret plot reveal. PS: OP Mira-chan is quite the tsundere. |
| And thus, they lived happily ever after... . ~Fin |
| Okay is O/K/A/Y ========== Don't you think so?) |
