Are you somehow under the impression any of them actually watch or care about Anime? Just like the SJW's that infected the game industry, who none of them care about games, the only time they give a damn about any of this stuff is if they can come in and force a narrative down peoples throats. fortunately animes come from Japan and in Japan no one gives a shit about extremist Sjw crying! |

| "My companion might scream at night, though." lol 2 first episodes was enjoyable, so i would say the show is of to a strong start. Haven't read the source material but the pacing seems like it's not rushed. But i'll keep my expectations lowered for a few more episodes. |
| That is one awesome opening theme and video, I am a bit worried though but what looks like him going berserk and his power going out of control. Making medicine is a great skill for him to have, helps the party but can continually give him a source of income. Fight monsters, sell medicine, upgrade equipment, rinse wash and repeat, slowly but steadily they are making progress. Naofumi was able to use Raphtalia's past to his advantage there to defeat that dog monster, kinda like using reverse psychology in order to help her overcome her past. Either way that was an impressive kill, I wonder what LV those 2 were at the time, that dog was LV 15 so now wonder they got a lot of EXP for it, the rope skill also comes in handy, he can use that for many situations. 03 Wave of Catastrophe, that doesn't sound good for our hero. I hope that ore and whatever loot from the dog monster is worth a bit, they will need upgraded equipment very shortly. Really looking forward to the next episode. |

I thought DOge fight will be like episode 4 and we will see how they get used to each other, from cold Nao and scared Raphtalia to an actual party. But they pushed it in 20 minutes. After awesome first episode this is just 0/10, my eyes bleed. If anyone liked first episode you better read ranobe, this was not an episode, this was a fucking abomination of speedrun industry. If i havent read ranobe I would be like "Duh, another trash isekai where girl fall in love in MC in a single fucking episode, total garbage, droped". It pains me for what they did to this episode. I don't want the anime to cover 100% of everything from the light novel. If they did, what's the point of publishing books? The anime needs to be able to coexist with light novels, not 100% rip from them. If the anime did that, no one would bother buying the light novels and supporting the author. Anime and manga are easily accessible to pirating and streaming online, at the very least light novels aren't as easy and can be taken down through DMCA. If you actually cared about the well-being of the light novel, you wouldn't want a 100% rip of it for animation. You would want it to keep enough for viewers to be interested, yet lacking enough for them to want more of it; hence driving light novel sales. The fact that you're encouraging people to read the light novel proves that the anime is able to coexist with the light novel. If the anime was 100% faithful, would you encourage people to read the light novel? Probably not. LN are also easy to pirate lmao, at least the ones that have an ebook version. |

When they show WHOLE DEVELOPMENT OF SECOND MAIN CHARACTER, WHOLE DEVELOPMENT FROM SCARED GIRL TO AN ACTUAL COMPANION in 20 minutes its bullshit. You can introduce character, give him flashback, show what he wants and what he fears. BUT NOT FINISH HIS ARC IN 1 EPISODE. They had beautiful moments when Raphtalia had panic attack during night and Nao had to fight angry balls until dawn because he could not calm her down, he started to care about her, forced her to drink bitter cure again and again so she get better, and only then she started to open to him and saw him as a hero, not an abusive master who forces her to kill monsters. And much more. What we see in this episode? Hey, I choose her. In ranobe Nao had to choose between her and two other cheap slaves, rabbit and lizard, but okay, thats details. Hey lets go eat. Hey you want that happy meal, I ll buy it for you even though five minutes ago I was angry betrayed man who doesnt trust anyone. Hey dont cry I wil hug you. Random cuts, insert Eye of the Tiger OST. Hey you are my hero forever and literally my second parent. Not rushed at all. Damn I hate when people get so offended when you tell them truth. And yes I am angry because I care and I am a fan. Fanboy will shill and defend any shit connected to the title. But fan cares about quality and details that makes this story different from isekai wrote by an algorithm from Isekai Bingo. |
| The opinions of people with shit taste, such as yourself, may differ of course. |
| It was good, but it felt like they skipped a lot of content cause the episode felt a bit rushed. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |

However, overseas in Japan, it's probably not something as contentious. So please watch this anime with an open mind and know the cultural difference between where you're from and where this show originated from. Every country had slave's and Japan enslaved people so.. Its not controversial at all if you actually think a little. |
| This is good. The pacing is actually great for the Novel. There's a lot of stuff there but making it 3 ep would ruined it honestly, it would be too slow and boring. There are a ton of stuff to cover with just 24 ep squeeze that into 20 min u got to cut a lot of stuff |
 |
| Well, felt a bit rushed but this was probably the best they could do with this part |
You do know that characters grow this episode 2 was only like 2 chapters.. Your a fan of the LN/Manga if you dont like this adaptation you can not watch it and give it a rating 1 like a salty cuck. Its following the LN quite well. |
| so he ges a slave girl...hmmm damn she was easy to please |
 |
| Her arc is rushed. They followed the manga this time instead of the light novel. Here's a list of things they missed.
Here's what can be done in the next episode. |

| Better than the first ep but still being a bad show. |

well, isn't it true? at least when it comes to herbal medicine |
| Another great episode. I really enjoyed the touching moments between the MC and Raphtalia. They have a great arrangement with Naofumi being the tank and her being the offense. The way Naofumi's shield upgrades and gets new abilities is interesting. I'm wondering how long he's only gonna have defensive capabilities I'm sure later on he's gonna get some offensive abilities with his shield right? |

| My expectations were low, but this episode was much better. I'm waiting for more.

As the tanuki, the animal has been significant in Japanese folklore since ancient times. The legendary tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absentminded. It is also a common theme in Japanese art, especially statuary. "Tanuki" is often mistakenly translated into English as "badger" or "raccoon" (as used in the US version of the movie Pom Poko and outlined in Tom Robbins' book Villa Incognito), two unrelated types of animals with superficially similar appearances. Traditionally, different areas of Japan had different names for raccoon dogs as animals, which would be used to denote different animals in other parts of the country, including badgers and wild cats; however, the official word in the standard Tokyo dialect is now "tanuki", a term that also carries the folkloric significance. Translating tanuki as raccoon is a bad idea, especially that this animal in anime is almost always portrayed as a thing of folklore. Including this series of course. It's like calling Onigiri a jelly donut. Of course raccoon it's better than monkey - that's for sure. |

seraphimxd said: no, you just guilt yourselves over what your ancestors did. until recently everyone had slaves. And not all slavery was chattel slavery. And if you want to know how horrific slavery can be let's consider black slave owner who ate the slaves they owned once they could not use them anymore or muslim slave owners that castrated their male slaves. Sometimes you could get away with your balls but only if you were not a black slave. All black slaves got castrated by the muslim. I can see a lot of people getting upset about the controversial slave concept of this show, but you have to know here in the US it's a touchy subject because of the history we have with "slaves." However, overseas in Japan, it's probably not something as contentious.

| If Naofumi was actually much harsher on her in the LN...then i think, it was a great move of the team to tone it down. I can understand why he's doing it and i'm glad that he felt responsible for her actual well being by the end of the episode (felt pretty clear to me that he's already not doing it for the sake of fighting anymore). Episode 2 and i'm already attached big time to Naofumi and Raphtalia, feels like a parent - daughter relationship as of now. Had to hold back some tears during three points in this episode. Her ressolve at the end was great, i just wanna see these two succeed and getting happiness in this shitty world. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| THis was way more intense than I remember reading. Also he was way harsher than I remember. Then again, hes starting point was rather crappy. |
| Faster paced than the manga, but the episode included the most important parts of this arc. The ED perfectly fits this episode thematically. And now, we wait another week... |
| so i went back to reread the manga to see why so many people are offended at the pace of the anime, and honestly speaking it wasn't all too different from the manga. it was chapters 3 to 4, and once you go to chapter 5 there's a seemingly huge time jump (even though it's only 2 weeks in story time). also, very confused about the whole feeding raph's hair to the shield. i know it's depicted in the anime and the LN, but it wasn't anywhere in the manga (or at least chap 1-5 where loli raph would appear), so what's up with that? what does feeding the hair to the shield do? does he morph his shield to raph, cuz that sure as hell ain't gonna happen. |

Volume 1. Chapter 12. Ok ignore me it seems im reading the manga not done the LN yet . Still people saying its fast.. its like 4 Manga chapters in 2 episodes one which was 40mins and another which was 20mins so 60mins between 4 chapter's. |

| Tragic raccoon lolis make me happy. |
| This might already be my fav anime of the season! It's so great that it's not the average isekai anime and that the main character isn't a perfectly heroic protagonist. I wish every episode was 40 mins like last week 😔 |

Still people saying its fast.. its like 4 Manga chapters in 2 episodes one which was 40mins and another which was 20mins so 60mins between 4 chapter's. I think you're ok. The slave dealer already explained that demi-humans aren't treated well in Melromarc. So the bullying part wasn't necessarily needed. It's why I think even though it's animated based on the manga, the manga has already done a good job of illustrating the most important parts of the light novel. Of course if you love interactions between characters, or more character development, the light novel is a good read. But people need to realize how costly it takes to produce an anime. Not everything you love will get animated, but the important story elements usually are. It's not like the anime has the production cost of say Naruto or One Piece. I'm all for comparisons, but to judge a episode based on missing elements rather than how an episode did in conveying and progressing the story withint a production budget for first time viewers is a bit sad. Yeah this is why i get quite annoyed with Manga readers or Book readers when they have to compare everything and complain over everything , if your not biased you would know the anime cant adapt it all. I think it got the emotion conveyed quite well. |
| Great episode and Raphtalia is cute AF Can't wait for the next |

NdanHM said: "critics, disappoint, trashtalk, manga did that, ln did that, grading lowest as you can" look like you guys really cant enjoy your life i asking how many time you disappointed with adapted anime? and you still put highest bar expectation? are you guys masochist? or just ppl really like to be disappointed? Tateyuu is one of the best isekai, great concept and i think until eps 2, anime producer doing great job rushed? didnt meet you expectation? because you didnt enjoy this anime, you choose comparing with manga and ln instead enjoying if you say "this should chapter 4 in manga" do you want Tateyuu anime become Monthly Anime? just like manga? even if tateyuu become mountly anime there is must be a single ppl say "why update took so long" human always greedy that why Naofumi didnt believe a Humans Naofumi really a good tank well first time i read manga i still disappoint he didnt has skilll like Ragnarok Online's Paladin but well still okey Eh, just ignore them. Not to mention, the average was an 8.46 prior to the airing of Ep. 2 and then, went up by 0.02. Average scores are largely meaningless, imo. How the average shifts throughout the season matters more. So far, we can say that the second episode left a general positive reception for the audience. |
