Yue really likes Hajime's blood lol. It's certainly getting better at least.

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

Another episode of horrendous and hilarious CGI.

People who said animation is good need to get their eyes checked or stop watching only the bad anime.


Compared to kenja na mago, it's a masterpiece of design.

Personally i'm fond of the show, after the atrocious first episode they seem to be fixing it's major problems in ep 1.

what i hate from this episode
1. kaori side. damn, we don't need it if they only want us to see kouki status in 2 minutes
2. yue expression when she got infected by that plant monster is funny but wrong situation and wrong joke unless it is konosuba
3. since when yue souen (blue flame) magic become physical type rather than flame type? if it is flame magic then it should "burn it" not "punch it" unless souen magic have same effect like fire punch
4. hajime face when he said he will kill and eat that scorpion is monotone from voice side or face expression. i think he should be like accelerator from the last minutes of episode 2 if the team really want hajime be badass

1. they kind of have to do this, to set up a few things later, though most of them could be background characters, kaori, ninja girl (forget her name) and kouki do have important roles to play.
2. Eh, to each their own, can see why it would bother you though.
3. It's energetic pressure pushing down on it and immobilizing it, hence "punch it".
4. While he is meant to come off as a badass, he's more supposed to come off as a "i don't give a damn about x" kind of character.

Just my two cents on your post.

A lot of posts are saying how the CGI is trash, but I think the CGI looks fine as its giving some depth to the fights (though the fights could look better and have a bit more action). I don’t watch a lot of anime that have CGI, so that may be a reason for me liking it. Also I liked how the story was primarily between the MC and Yue because I don’t like it when it switches from them to the class. In my opinion if your going to switch between the two don’t switch too much in an episode or else it removes the consistency of each other’s story/plot. Either split half the episode of MC and Yue and the class, have one episode dedicated to one of them, or do what this episode did and have a small scene of that. I personally want to read the light novel/ manga but I want to hear y’all a opinion if it’s worth my time.

Yue is our only saving grace, aside from the weird ass face they gave her for that one scene.

This show is becoming a mess.

Yue is boring but also really creppy. That one scence with her and Hajime was fucking creppy.

The planet monster looks like a bootleg pokemon.

The CGI lobster was fucking bad.

no wonder the author was fucking piss.

I liked it. Reading the Manga right now. Seems like this covered chapter 8-11 pretty faithfully. Other than the terrible CGI this episode gave my hope for the remainder of the series. If only the first two episodes weren't awful. On a side note this soundtrack is really great. There isn't enough Jazz and Swing in Anime.

If this is a horrible adaptation, the LN must be the best thing ever made by humans


Not the best out there, but still one of the better isekai. Actually, this is one of my favorite novels.

bitchassdarius said:

can you explain to me how starting off the episode with hajime freshly wounded and not showing how he was wounded, but then cutting immediately to a flashback of inciting incident that happened 5 seconds prior to the start of the episode was more beneficial to the narrative than showing the events sequentially?

if you're talking about the start of this episode, he got hit with those spikes at the end of episode 2 you clown


That's not what bitchassdarius talking about. What he/she means is that why they make a flashback if they can just make in order. But, I guess the reason is because the episode started with a cliffhanger from the previous episode.

redwhitenblue said:

Please, tell me which part of these 3 episodes that is similiar to Rosario+Vampire (aside from the heroines being vampire. But there another anime out there with a vampire heroine too). It's similiar to Shield Hero and the Slime because they are isekai. Other than that, both MCs from Arifureta and Shield Hero are betrayed (but the betrayals are different too. One of Hajime's classmates tried to kill him because of jealousy while Naofumi is accused of crime by a certain bitch princess).

seikanyuuki said:

They aren't talking about the story, they are talking about the CGI. Those who said the story is bad are people who aren't fond of isekai anime.

As for me, I think this an improvement from the previous two episodes. Even though the CGI is still bad, it's better to watch now. I lost my hope on this anime when the first episode aired, but the latest two episodes prove that this anime can be improved.

I don't like how they show the scene of Hajime's classmates because they are unimportant. The only important parts of them that should be seen in this anime is Kaori's scenes (and maybe Shizuku's), their encounter with the emperor in Hoelscher Empire (or maybe not), and the scene before the reunion at Ur.

Fortunately, the didn't skip the bonding time between Hajime and Yue. It's good that they show the funny scenes where Yue keep sucking Hajime's blood. I'm surprised by Yue's expression when the dyrad/aruraune take control of her. I hate the cliffhanger, but I guess that because the next episode is the end of the current arc. I look forward to the final boss and hopefully, they will show us some scenes of Hajime and Yue in Oscar Orcus's room (or as Yue said, Hajime's and her's love nest).

Pretty boring and predictable.
The fight against the crab was very bad, inconsistent and with a horrific CGI. The music during the fights felt very out of context, as if it didn't fit.
Hajime in the first 2 episodes wanted to take revenge on the one who betrayed him, but now he says he doesn't want revenge...nani?

From which lines did he say he wanted revenge? Please do tell. He only said he wanted to survive and go home back to Japan after he killed the claw bear, he never mentioned about revenge.

The CG is pretty much the culmination of everything holding this show back. The sloppy directing at the start seems to be getting better, we generally have an idea of what's going on. The animation for the characters themselves aren't that bad and honestly Yue and Hajime as a team have decent chemistry.

The use of CG just feels like a shortcut to save on animation. Things from the weapons, to projectiles and even some of the FX put right next to the actual animated characters is so jarring. Even Yue's Azure Blaze was animated yet the grenade explosion was clearly a rendered effect. This show honestly wouldn't even be that bad if they removed or at least used the CG more moderately.

Otherwise though this episode was alright.

This anime has been quite trash compare to the expectations it had at the start.

Also no, even if the LN or heck manga is suppose to be better, if its anything like what the anime is showing I'll will stick with my Overlord and Reincarnated as a Slime both of which are better.

Yue is carrying this hard so far.

Also..did I miss something? Why did she have to get naked to suck blood? Or did they smash there?

I didn't understand her being angry either..she said she is immortal. Should have been fine if Hajime shoots her either way but he was cool and went for the flower on her head instead.

As for Hajime I was surprised he just wants to get home. I would definitely murder the one who betrayed me..then go home xD.

Easily the best episode so far.

This episode is a step up, even if the jarring CGI is used to cut on animation costs at the expense of quality.

Good bonding time between Hajime and Yue, exposing her eating habits, through food and Hajime's fresh blood.

Honestly, the other classmates can just go ahead and have their own adventures, this is just Hajime's alone.

It was ok. I can survive the CGI but something that really surprised me... the music used during both fights. For real, this show has something dark, at least its atmosphere but with the songs displayed, it felt as if I was in a sort of high school comedy.

Yue did not leave me such a great impression, I'm quite disappointed.

+1 This anime is getting better and better. Good pacing. I like it because of the journey of the duo and I like it how Hajime is adaptively making weapons from rock. That's cool. Also, Yue is pretty going.
