Oh God, the CGI looks hideous. This is even worse than I was anticipating. The fight itself didn't feel like it had much purpose either.

That kiss though. I mean, it shouldn't be that surprising we'd see one between Hajime and Yue eventually. Just a matter of time.

This is the worst CGI in the series. The fight isn't half bad but it still can't be called good. The only things that's make up for this episode is the kiss. (well, as far as I remember, i hadn't see Hajime and Yue kiss once in the manga)

What the hell was this? This was horrible. Just horrible. The usage of CGI was too much.

At least Hajime and Yue kissed.

I'd be terrified, too if i was greeted by huge, ugly CGI.

Not to mention, they fought ugly CGI for the whole episode.

Whoever thought, this was a good idea having this air needs to be sacked lol

My lord that cgi... cgi in anime looks terrible most of the time but this is just next levels of bad. I could swear even a N64 game had better cg than this... like was I just seeing things or was its jaw seriously clipping through its own head and teeth? And to have to look at it for an entire episode is even worse ^^
For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

You know, I usually don't complain about CGI usage, because there are some really good ones (like the ones produced by Production IG and Ufotable), but THIS....this is TOO MUCH, so bad I can almost hear Gigguk screaming "BAD CG!"


I guess it's too much to expect Arifureta production can hold up to episode 3 standard (which is still a pretty low bar) Oh well

I start to understand why this show (or better, the LN) had fans... because if you cut the whole shit away, like the Frankensteintimelines, which are all over the place, or the abomination of CGI, then it kinda could've been a good story. But no, that would've been too hard to make. Instead, smack some shitty CG in there.

did anyone else feel like they mixed up the order of some scenes? midway in the episode both lay on the ground and hajime stands up and save her. he comes up with a plan but after that he lies down again??? then he really stands up and they kill the hydra. i mean wtf this is some weird foreshadowing or did they just mix up the scenes

What the hell just happened, the horrific CGI ruined the whole episode and even the cute HajimeYue scenes, what a shame (not even mentioning the crappy soundeffects).

I really fear for the future episodes now cause the action in Arifureta is mostly dominated by big-ass monster fights

maybe, but in the opening he doesn't have one eye, so I think this is tha part that solves the "eye mystery"

or ending was it, not sure, maybe both xd

Worst episode so far, the "final boss" was horribly ugly, I might even have nightmares of it tonight.

Very surprising choice of music again, and obviously they're totally not accurated and almost made me feel like it was a parody.

The fighting I didn't mind, it was alright. I mean I was totally screaming at Yue to get her ass up and do something but then I remembered she's young I guess and gets tired using big spells like that so understandable.

Hajime and Yue scene was cute, I like their dynamic. Thank God it was already established and I didn't have to sit there for episodes yelling at the two to express their feelings already.

Hajime's fighting was okay, but I thought he'd be smarter and not entirely throw himself in front of the monster like that. He could've been more heavily injured which would've left Yue by herself for longer and she would've died. Guess he got irrational cause it was Yue??

Anyways, the CGI on that monster is going to give me more nightmares then the actual monster itself, so there's that too.

I'm hoping future episodes will be better since I'm actually starting to like this show.

Okay that was pretty bad, unlike a lot of people on here, I actually quite enjoyed Episode 1, and my first impressions were that it was an 8/10 show, but this....this was....terrible, I felt like whatever happened in this episode was supposed to be really important, and emotional, and a serious fight, but they ruined it badly.

I haven't read the manga, and I don't plan to, but i'm sure it is better than whatever I just saw this episode.

I remember liking the manga version a lot up until a certain point where the dungeon crawling got too tedious. what was I hoping with the anime anyway?

Sry Berserk, we shouldn't yell at you so much :P


Also constantly "mating" during the heat of battle lolz. (Ohh, I kiss you so you're suppose to heal up? Gonna kiss you like 4 more times during battle)

Yeah, i think this the final nail in the coffin.... that was a fucking terrible episode. It felt like a battle that was too intense for this early on, the CGI was just horrendous and they were trying to get us to feel for these two characters that we just haven't had enough time to develop any real attachment too yet.

At this rate, I won't rise my score from 5 to 6. The adaptation is terrible and the CGI is getting worse each episode :/ Is there a hope this'll get any better? I have my doubts... I was almost in the verge of dropping this anime, but will give one last chance.

The kissing scene was too soon for my taste... and I like kissing scenes, but this? Hmm... nope. It lacks chemistry :( They hardly know each other!

I'll be honest, I kind of liked this anime so far, until episode 3, but this episode was just terrible

I don't really care about the CGI, although I admit it looks quite bad(Like only the characters weren't CGI in this episode, everything else was, but never mind that), but that's probably one of the most boring anime fights I've seen so far, with some lame soundtracks

At this point they should just stop this anime, if we are getting this on EP4 I can't even imagine the massacre in few weeks.
