Incranium said: RedChrome said: I thought the talent was gonna be some competition or something but nope they just skipped to the introduction of each nominee and their skills, this show really is bullshit Souma actually mentions having a competition between talents that clash in his speech in episode two, however, the anime doesn't show it to save time for the episode. Another reason why the LN doesn't translate well into the anime I guess. Oh man this would have been great to watch, even if a little. It felt pretty abrupt. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I actually like this anime where the MC use his knowledge instead of cheating, this is much more better than those anime where the MC that can use cheat magic right away and all girls stick to him just because he's too OP |
    |
| Souma's gathering of the talents in the Kingdom of Elfrieden, and let it be counted of the many, cut into 5: - Dark elf Aisha, who needs help in their "God-Protected" forest realted issues); - - Lorelei beautiful songstress Juna Doma, and Souma just lashing out with the music in his smartphone with what looks like AirPods, and Liscia looking all that jealous with their interaction. That Slayers OP "Give a reason" variant of a version though, wow what a #throwback. - Glutton Poncho "Ishizuka" Panacotta (with a really direct reference to the dessert name itself), and Souma really looks up to this fatso...? He's a food tasting guinea pig to save the nation with his all-knowing knowledge. - Intelligence man Hakuya Kwonmin who wants to be Souma's strategist, albeit his hidden motives a litmus test well explored. These two are bound to have manu conflicts incoming. - Last but not least, wolf Tomoe Inui whom can converse with beings, and her secret would be one that will change the course of Souma's journey as a king. I agree that the anime sure cut out a lot of detail from the LN, but as far as the manga adaptation of the LN, it's missing some detail from that as well. Oh well, give some foreshadowing for best. |
 |
| I wonder when will someone also recognize my talent for eating hmm. Kiddings aside, I really like this isekai where he doesn't have any OP skills and just pure knowledge and wisdom. |
kuwangpa said: Kwonmin being Souma's right-hand ....it vaguely reminds me of Reinhard and Oberstein from LoGH. If it's a similar dynamic, I expect good things to come in this show... That is precisely the pairing that came to mind for me, as well! However, I'm still keeping my expectations in check. Reinhard had Yang Wenli countering him, and they each made the other shine with their respective genius and ingenuity. So far, this show doesn't have anything remotely like a Yang Wenli to showcase the protagonist (though the merchant girl from the other kingdom does give off a Phezzan vibe). |

| Aisha...fucking babe 100% I love her and Liscia though so we good on that front. But damn I am really enjoying this anime. It really requires you to look in and pay attention as to what is going on in the anime. That ending though...I hate that shit lol. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
Incranium said: FireFistYK said: Holy shit that Slayer opening! What a throwback! But this episode was the best of the 3 so far. It'll probably be a harem but I've never had a problem with them so that's none of my concerns. The cast introduced in this episode were all to my liking His phone could realistically survive a week if he turned it off and used it minimally so I'll let that "plot hole" pass So this is definitely not an anime for people looking for a masterpiece or anything amazing, but I figure that it will keep most people entertained enough even with flaws, which is fine because not every series has to be critically acclaimed. In the end, anime is a hobby and something a lot of us use to relax, and frankly these good to OK shows helps balance it out nicely because it'd be difficult to watch 10-20 quality series each week. It'll serve as a decent palet cleanser You are actually wrong about it being just good, although that depends on taste. Episodes 5/6 to 12 of the anime will be the tightest writing you will ever see for a LN that does not focus on action ( this has plenty of action, mind you). I would put this part of the anime, if executed well, on the level of Jojo fights if you count strategizing as a battle. Although, do tone down your expectations considering how you like other anime. I'm a bit confused, why should I lower my expectations when I don't rate it that highly? I just said that it's not as bad as people are making it out to be and that it's a decent show |
 |
| Interesting decision. Skipping parts to straight introduction them all. Oh well, not like i can complain much considering its just a usual way to fasten up a bit the story. Strange, huh, Kazuya? That's what i think exactly when you got that phone still alive, got an auto-translated one language and had a poltergeist hand in your control. Anyway, most of the part kinda missing and not so interesting after all. This is just Kazuya sitting and let them introduced whose them, whats their talent and their cases, one by one, just that. However, i think this is still fine considering the objective of this episode solely to introduced the five of them. That's it. Still, ugh, i feels shallow watching this, moreover with those not-so-wise cliffhanger. However, i should've continue no matter what, and hopefully there's something more interesting goin on later.... |

| i already notice this from ep 1 but because this anime just start i not touching about it, but because this already ep 3 i will say it MC say this in ep 3 "in this world everyone use only 1 language " but this character Amidonia Roroa use japanese slang!? im not really remember from where slang she use but im 100% sure she use slang. so why. why director do this! now i 100% sure director brain cell melting inside his head |

MenchiK1 said: i actually understand what you want to say but please believe me, this is not like what you see, author who write this is pretty smart actually, because the original creation is 100% more good than this, even manga adaptaion from this product 100% more good than adaptation anime so Please suppress your anger, if you want to curse, curse director who direct this anime and not the author.Everything in this was infuriatingly stupid. It's like it was written by a dumbass who thinks they are smart and are too stupid to know they aren't. And that's exactly how the king comes off. The only way this show could work now is if the supposedly smart guy just volunteered so he could manipulate him and take over. Easy drop. (this comment is 100% from my respect to original creator who make this series and no other mean) (Please don't misjudge some series before until you confirmed about it) Thank You |

| A full ep of Kazuya judging peoples talents is not exactly what I'd call thrilling, but it is good that we get to at least see and meet the new characters. I wonder what that cliffhanger is going to be about. The wacky camera movement from episode 1 is back. |
 |
| lots of cringe moments and i hate being reminded that smartphone exist ,how does it still work for some reason i thought he tried to sell it off but that was in black company. could not stop thinking about how bias he was to the guy that "eats a lot" i understand the kind of knowledge he'll have on foods of the world will be useful but right after him was a dude that was a walking encyclopedia ,i'd feel a bit insulted if that guy was given a title before even doing anything lol or anyone for that matter |
 |
| The only thing I want to know is how his phone battery lasted that long. Aside from that the talents of those chosen guys were weird in a bad way. A guy who has eaten dishes from all over the world!? Calling a chef who has prepared dishes from all over the world would be more useful! And what use would a singer be of!? So much for being "realistic"! |

So much for being "realistic"! MC is supposed to be a"realist." The series isn't about being overly realistic, I mean there's magic for crying out loud. Realist - "a person who recognizes what is real or possible in a particular situation : one who accepts and deals with things as they really are." Poncho's talent is his knowledge of food from all corners of the world. That knowledge just might be a tad bit useful for a kingdom currently suffering from a food shortage. What use does a singer have in today's world? There's your answer. |

antonn said: Yes, I'm well aware that the isekai has magic but I'm talking about his foolish decisions in hiring a singer and foodie. The foodie is useless unless he can cook what he has eaten. Also ever heard of Maslow's triangle? Their country has a shortage of food and funds, not the best time to be hiring a singer. Getting someone who has knowledge about farming/various crops or economy would have been far more useful. Maou_heika said: The only thing I want to know is how his phone battery lasted that long.

Aisha trying her best lmao  |
| I like this show - so far. It is nice to see a change from the conventional Isekai / heroic / adventure cliches. Battles, wars and adventures are important but they are not the only things that matter. It is more effective and efficient to think of the big picture, like the lead does, with intellect and pragmatism. It is arguably more honorable as well, since battles and wars should always be the last, not the first resort. The drawback of this though is how to keep the interest of the audience. 3 episodes on I think they've done well, but later on if they keep up the same pace the show might turn boring. We do not watch anime / read manga to see a faithful mirror of real life or to be treated to the most efficient solutions to various issues after all, we do it to be entertained and have fun. So I really wonder if they are going to retain audience interest later on or if they lose most of it.. |

| Dark elf martial prowess huh, no wood elves with their archery skills? I was joking about American Idol auditions, apparently we got an Idol on this side too! Maybe they will look for tastier and cheaper but nutritionally better food or cooking techniques, etc using the glutton's knowledge? So this dude is our tactician/strategist? Actually..."I need to pee./I'm hungry." is what I expect she will say. LOL |

Pity that they didn't cast Megumi Hayashibara as Doma but Reina did great job too. And yes, it was fire and she did great job. Isshin said: I would love to see that, but it seems unlikely, if not impossible, right now :/Hope that means we will get new Slayers anime :D Lol Give a Reason was one of my fav OP songs, out from nowhere! This tribute of JC Staff to their old popular series was the greatest easter egg in this anime and i see the zoomers in the audience had no idea lol. |

MugenNoShirayuki said: gaulby said: You do realize that the phrase doesn't encompass all problems right? The phrase is basically used to to point out the convenience of magic in solving most of the problems, if not all. And creating food based on magic is not entirely impossible, similar to sci-fi settings recreating food by recreating it's molecular structure. But doing that needs an advanced understanding of science. And the current is medieval, get the point? Magic is convenient, but it still needs a level of understanding to properly use it. And when you use that as your excuse, it stops becoming an engaging storyline in my eyes. Every time there's an infrastructure issue, I'm going to ask "okay, they have magic Facetime, why is there no magic to resolve this?" The show is basically saying: "We use magic to solve all of these problems." "Okay, well what about THESE problems?" "We can't use magic to solve them." "Why not?" "Because we need something for our MC to do." When you're presenting a series that is ostensibly about solving problems the way this series is, there needs to be very clear reasoning why magic is off the table. Explain to me why they can't use, say, plant magic to make crops grow? I'm assuming they have water magic, fire magic, wind magic, etc. So why is it that the magic that would solve THESE problems is conveniently not available? It's contrived writing and it shows how lazy the magic system in this series is. Which, for a series that's purporting to be about realistic solutions to problems, is a very glaring flaw. Good post bringing what is weak about this show. I started this out of curiousity to compare with the other "being realistic in a fantasy" similar show: https://myanimelist.net/anime/14833/Maoyuu_Maou_Yuusha (The story seems fascinating, but the rushed anime adaptation destroyed it) But both are inferior to the pure gold series that one day will gain a proper animation: Release that Witch One of the best novel i've seem. The best non-wuxia fantasy from chinese author. Even the way RtW links the realist hero and a world with magic is brilliant (it is in the title btw) |

Pity that they didn't cast Megumi Hayashibara as Doma but Reina did great job too. And yes, it was fire and she did great job. I'm right there with you. As soon as the song began I was like, "No. NO!" and nearly jumped out of my seat. I was beyond happy. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Is no one going to mention that fact that the gran chaos empire only has a population of 4 million? |
| Liscia looks so fine wearing her sleeping clothes, So the interview begins this should be good Oh Liscia don't worry Kazuya won't just go after boobs right surely that was cute though, Damn I thought Juna's VA was going to sing that was a missed opportunity she was good So I see he's still sharp as ever and actually praised Poncho for starters I was doubting but as he mentioned he's like expertise in cuisine Kazuya has sharp eyes, So Kwonmin is like Kong Ming that just makes it more interesting. |
  |
| As a meme connoisseur, would've been pretty rad if Souma let Juna sing 'Never gonna give you up' and rickroll the whole country but I guess Slayer Next opening is also good. |
 |
| The full song Give a reason is on the 1st OST and I am now addicted to it. |
