| a very very good episode. legit felt like 5 minutes. my first thought after the ed played was, "is that it?". 5/5. can't wait to watch the next one. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I have been enjoying this anime way more than I probably should, it might be that direction is just spot on. Even tho it can be a bit obvious at times it just always delivers. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Really funny episode. One thing that worries me is a kind of conflict of interests here: we got anime about a guy who wants to be (and actually is?) a shadowy figure, but at the same time it looks like a classic "secretly OP" setting that just waits to surprise everyone with protagonist's awesomeness. Whichever way it goes, I feel I'll end up not entirely happy lol. |
| little princess with breastplate!!! kekeke |
| I was about to grumble about how it’s handled totally opposite to manga but evening train scene was so good and gorgeous that it soothed my soul 😙 |
| Wait so they actually adapted a bit of the prologue of the LN in this episode, glad they didn't completely skipped it. So pretty much just like the LN, he confesses to Alexia, she accepts and then he basically becomes her dog. Overall a pretty decent episode, I quite liked the comedy on it and Beta on the ED was pretty nice, can't wait to see what the other EDs will have. |
 |
| There is something I love about this anime and I do not know what. It is average, alright, but at the same time, it is super fun to watch. |

GreyratAnimelist said: You couldn't be more wrong lolLet me guess the plot, now our MC will save the princess by showing her his real power and then princess will really fall in love with the MC, usual isekai plot. |
|
| Is a person really able to pretend to be more down bad than even Denji? I bet Cid secretly likes being treated as a dog |
 |
| Ah, so that's why Alexia seemed the most compelling out of all the characters so far, she's voiced by Kana Hanazawa. Plot wise, probably the most enjoyable episode so far, though it's nothing really crazy so far in terms of the material shown, and we just had to have more characters saying "woof" this season huh? |
| "WOOF!" - Reminds me of a certain other anime airing this season Despite it's generic-looking exterior and premise, I wouldn't call it bland or boring at all; quite fun and entertaining actually. I'll be watching the whole thing with the rest of you, and will be looking forward to it every Wednesday. |

| I'm glad they showed how our crazy protagonist got Isekai'd. That was fun to watch. I also respect him continuing to try to build his shadow empire by using the princesses's fake boyfriend scheme for funding. It is definitely a plan for the shadows. |
 |
| I remember seeing a manga panel for this out of context and it's even better here |
 |
| Eh, I'm gonna give this show one more episode before I drop it. Not impressed by anything from it so far. |
| The way he died was even funnier than the way kazuma died 😆😆. I was like bruh.... Also why are there a lot of unnecessary discussions... Had to search for ep 3 discussion and was kinda lost between them. |

GreyratAnimelist said: Let me guess the plot, now our MC will save the princess by showing her his real power and then princess will really fall in love with the MC, usual isekai plot. Nope. Absolutely wrong. That was my guess too when I read the manga so can't fault you there. |
 |
| Today's episode made me feel like I should look for the manga to read as soon as this anime ends |
| Trying my best with english d-_-b |
| I've been really enjoying every episode so far. Love chuuni protagonists. This is surely the next quality isekai after Mushoku Tensei. |
| Maaaaan, I just can't get enough of this anime. They've quickly answered the unexpected ending from the last episode and jumped straight ahead to a new thing, now that's what I call le speed run. It was entertaining and somewhat annoying (just because he is secretly op) seeing Cid adopt his side character mentality this much by getting fellow low-popularity friends and going along with what the Princess says. Both scenes, the one where Cid asked Alexia to be his girlfriend and where he took and ate her food were top-notch content. Seems like he is in some deep shit after seeing that ending, hope it won't play out exactly the same way as it did with his sister. |
| Man Alexia is more evil in anime, but yea finally comedy that i waiting for its here, overall its good even tho its not look like from manga, but im fine, the plot still same different interpretation cant wait to see Pochi |
| I'm actually enjoying this quite a bit, the fast pacing helps it not get too boring and the protagonist's insanity is certainly entertaining. Him smashing his head against a rock while screaming "magic!" before jumping in front of a truck has to be one of the most memorable ways to get isekaied. Also that joke where he does the ridiculous lean to grab the coin was funny. I just really hope it's able to keep the MC as the butt of the joke rather than what isekai usually do by making them the ultra badass self-insert power fantasy. |
| And now Kana Hanazawa too, damn, this show has such a great cast. I really like Alexia and love her chemistry with Cid. Their interactions are pretty fun to watch. And to think that there would be two shows in the same season with protagonists "woof" to a hot girl lol. So Cid just went crazy wanting to get magic and ended up jumping in front of a truck, ok... That ED with Beta, goddamn! And of course, Inori Minase singing it <3. |
| Yea, it's kinda weird, because Matsuoka is not a harem protagonist here. |

| Hey it's Kana Hanazawa as Alexia. eyo that's how he meet Truck-kun? LMAO after Chainsaw Man, now here too? Woof! |
 |
| It's good that this chapter returned to that subtle comedy that is in the LN, and a little exaggerated in the manga, so if you enjoy this adaptation. |
