8/10
Proved an entertaining watch and could've even been 9/10 if not for plot-induced utter uselessness of the other 3 heroes and Raphtalia-induced melodramatic unreasonable beggings of 'no, you can't go back to your own world and leave me behind sniff-sniff-sniff'. Seriously, someone who claims to be his sword being so weak and making such selfish and unreasonable demands damaged my impression somewhat.

It is because Raph is still just a 10 years old mental wise

Took me over 3 months to finish off the last couple episodes.. tbh the waves part is by far my least favorite portion in the entire series, it's just so boring watching them fight the NPC's.. and then there's this forced drama about another world and other heroes have to fight for their own other world too, like, what's the purpose of all this? And then there's zero resolution to the whole thing and it reset back to normal, like it happened twice already.

Then there's Raph.. she was adorable at first but then slowly and surely she became so annoying.. you know how there's the type of girls that's tryna act like they're your girlfriend when they're not? She is one of those.. the harem became kinda annoying tbh..

I hope they go back to exploring the different places in the world in the sequels instead of focusing so much on the other braindead heroes and less on the waves.. The fantasy world in this is kinda nice tbh, I'd love to learn more about it.


Are you sure about that? I think I remember back when Raph first grew into an adult physically, her mental state grew as well, didn't it? She started lecturing Naofumi like she's the big sis now..

Also it would've been fine if it happened once or twice, but no it happened like 20 times or something.. it'd be fine if that moment occurred twice, first one to introduce the main source of drama, and second one happens at the climatic part of the drama.. but they just spammed it to pad for time or sloppily trying to make it seem dramatic.

No, only her body is grown up thank to level up, her mind isn't. She had her mature talking since the childhood when her hometown was destroyed, remember ep 15? She is only good when handling the tough situations, but very naive and innocent when dealing with other matters since she is still a child

Don't remember much since I resumed at episode 21 recently after having this on hold for over 3 months. I'll take your word for it then, and it makes the whole potential romantic situation so much more awkward if that's the case lmao.

@Playcool , on CR her name is Lecia, to be more precise.
Glass' looks awesome as shown in the LN! Not only she is even more thicc than in anime, but most of all her look seems to be more detailed. Compared to her original concept, Glass from the anime adaptation looks just plain.

It was okay. I have seen better Isekai shows and I think this one is overrated. I like the concept but I found the story lacking after a while. I guess my main motivation for watch this show was to see revenge but even that was very unsatisfactory. At least have Trash and Bitch thrown in jail or something to make them suffer. But these writers love their idealistic forgiving angelic protagonists.

Another thing that I found quite disappointing were the fight scenes especially with Shield hero. Most of the time the fights were just him standing in one place defending using like 3 or 4 shield types. And it just lacked creativity or excitement. I think the writer intentionally made the shield useless so MC's companions can get some limelight. I guess he never heard about Captain America LOL.

I kind of liked the characters especially Raphtalia and Naofumi until he went soft. I miss when he was a complete pessimist like in the first few episodes. Still their relationship and Raphtalia's constant support to Naofumi was nice. I frankly didn't care much about the other companions or heroes.

This last episode was quite confusing and stupid. I mean heroes are able to warp in and out of their own world automagically and somehow they all want to kill Naofumi and other heroes to save their world? I am pretty sure the writer will have some bizarre and cliched explanation of how worlds are connected and waves are the gateways etc. Well at least our shield hero now has a base and a new airhead companion.

It didn't help that the MC quiet literally buys his first love interest like a prostitute. Regardless of what it turned into, it still left a bad taste in my mouth.

Its pretty clear that the 3 stooges and Malty are only there to be shit characters for the sole purpose to make the MC look good because otherwise i don't understand their stupidity at all. It's the only thing that makes sense. Very poor writing.

Overall it's generic isekai which starts with potential strong themes but ends as a cleverly disguised Harem anime.

A generous 5/10

It's certainly not bad but also nothing out of the ordinary special so I'm personally a bit confused to why this got such a high praise and rating.

How have people made reviews and how do the mods get these threads up so fast? Advanced screenings or y'all live in Japan??

Anyway, I don’t recall naofumi hesitating to drain Glass’s SP in the LN.. they changed the reshia situation so much it’s almost a complete rewrite of the story, ffs. They basically crammed the last half of volume 5 and first half of 6 into 10 minutes... and rewrote it on top of that. Now I’m not 10000 percent sure, but I did just finish vol 6 like 3 days ago and I don’t recall them building a fort in that Demi human village... they picked up Raphtalia’s friend and that’s it..

Damn this anime got really generic at the end, still a solid fight to end the season, and I enjoyed it, but man they’ve got some things to improve in season 2. Mainly the pacing. pretty sure they’ll be in Isekai Quartet so that’ll be cool to see. Really recommend reading the LN's if you haven't already, there's so much left out and changed especially down the stretch. Solid 8/10.
