Thank you, I wasn't sure if they just didn't explain it or if I spaced out when they did, lol.


Nah, they seem to just not be bothering to try, which is kind of disappointing.

They gain experience fighting in the dungeon, and than the god, via the "blessing" they give their adventures, can update their status, skills and magic using the experience they get by doing various thing (which is what that orb above his back was), the gods can choose to nurture certain paths or skills in people if it appears in their orb.

The skill Aiz inspired in Bell here is called "Realise Phrase" and increases growth speed in an adventurer based on that adventures motivation to get stronger. Hestia immediately regretted added this to his repertoire because:

A. She wants to stay alone with him for as long as possible because she has feelings for him, and isn't really too hot about him chasing other girls.

And

B. Bells motivation to get stronger is a lot.

I don't think they needed to explain it. I don't read the manga or LN and pretty much gathered that from just watching the episode...

A decent anime adaptation of an average LN, factor in that is just the first episode if they can maintain the quality it could be one of the most enjoyable anime of this season, if. But I prefer more bullying and violence. Everyone is so nice to each other.

Yup.
6/10 for starters. Lets hope this gets decent MALE supports and doesnt turn into another SAO.

It's feeling like a comfy show so far, kinda reminds me of Nantsu in that regard. Comedy mixed with something without letting it end like a failure is kind of rare these days.

Quite a nice episode I think! The setting seems interesting enough for it to be able to develop nicely. Could become quite generic though.

But honestly, however it develops, I'll Watch it anyway because of Hestia, too cute! Liked her VA aswell.

Looks a lot like the Log Horizon world.
Where was the minotaur thingy even aiming? It was punching the cave above the person who was defenseless before it got killed, at least take down one person before you cease to exist.
Male MC sees beautiful female character at start of anime ... Hmm where have I seen that before?
Level 5 and considered one of the strongest swordsman? So is level 5 the max or is there only at most 10? Most take a lot of experience to gain levels then, for this to make sense.

I thought this was a really great first episode. 8.5/10, something like that.
The music was a definite highlight. It captured and matched everything very well.

Loved the art style, the way each scene is portrayed, even the fighting parts were good.

This first episode really over passed my expectations.

I don't think there's any level cap but Level 5 is the highest level known so far in the story. I did heard there's a Level 6 appearing in later volumes though. It usually takes a long time to level up but the MC will be leveling a bit faster thanks to his EXP Boost skill. ^^

i'm on board even if i have to put up with Matsuoka yet again! lol must of been a coincidence both Matsuoka and Tomatsu are together in a fantasy like anime Right????



though i feel like this left out quite a bit on the world building was confused on if this was actual fantasy or A MMO but i guess it just has RPG elements mix in, Bell was given a Insane "exp" boost as his first skill so i take it hes gonna get quite strong pretty quick.

well hopefully the dungeon crawling aspect of this is good

What's there to be explained anyway? It's pretty self explanatory and you can see it here unlike the LN where everything is described in words.

Anyways, this was a good start. Only problem is from a Light Novel reader's perspective is that this episode crammed 2 chapters and if you read the english version, it's about 60 pages!?!? Also, the development with the Goddess is good and hopefully the "girl that looks like Mashiro from Sakurasou" aka Sword Princess has more development and I'll be fine. :3

Lol yeah the LN readers are gonna have a bit of difficulty with this one because they are leaving so much out. I felt it was really rushed. I do kind of wish they'd slow down a bit.

Can we talk about that bar scene at the end, and how forced the dialogue was? Because wow that was forced and silly.

Other than that, I thought it was an okay start. I like Bell and Hestia's relationship.

Wow, the LN is prettyyyy far ahead compared to the manga, huh. I saw a buncha characters in the opening I didn't even recognize other than the mule girl.

Anyway, looking forward to this season, and maybe I'll also finally begin the LN as well.

I've now gotten used to all the lolis that pop up in these kinds of shows, so now I laugh along when they flip their shit over a misunderstanding I think this was a good introductory episode, and I hope we'll get to see more world-building in the coming episodes. :D

I liked almost everything about the first episode, except that bar scene. It was sooo forced it made me feel uncomfortable. It was just like "Oh, remember that guy who almost died to that- would rather go out with him or with me?" Wtf, why?!

I really hope this wont happen often in the future because I really liked the setting and concept of the show.

...not again no more Matsuoka, im a little tired heard his voice of kirito in anime we have him bieng Arata (Trinity Seven Harem King), Aki Tomoya a.k.a. rinri-kun, now we have heard him being Bell and Souma (Shokugeki no Souma) in a voice who resemble kirito. In others past animes he doing other voice... -.-'

But this anime look have a nice start, i will keep watching

As someone who read the LN's, I can attest that was less the writing it self and more the direction and Nobuhiko chewing on the scenery to natural disaster levels xD

The romance is strong in this one. I think this will be quite pleasing to watch, even though Kirito VA is overused.

This, so much this.

I liked it up until this part but this scene alone was so bad I almost feel like I shouldn't continue watching. I mean not only was the random "lol remember that loser" part forced, it took it a step further with the "well would you date that guy" comments. Really?

I get the idea going on here, and you see this "overhear negative comments" stuff all the time, but this had to be one of the most terribly executed ones of all time.

I agree the setting and concept is good, but man I hope this isn't the best they can do with the writing (or the adaptation).
