| While this episode was okay, the time skip though, they're making a rush adaptation I see. |
 |
| I really like character building...nice |
 |
| Honestly feel like the producers didn't know what to do with his personality. "He's in a kid's body so let him act like a kid but he was also a 25year old salaryman so he can read, but because he's a kid he should act like one" *dramatic inhalation* "M-monsters?" And wait, what? There was a scene where they flew and then a few minutes later he gets spooked and screams because the guy shows him flying again? what? what a shitshow.... one more episode to go so i can decide if i should drop it. |
| This bored me to death. Dropped. |
 |
| I Feel nothing about a dude we just met and the oP is fire |
 |
| Nice, the main character went from having a brain and a body of a 25 yo person to having a body and brain of a 5 year old baby. And anyways the "sad" thing from this episode is bs. No one with a 25 yo brain would cry while making disappear a dead guy that you know for 2 weeks. |

| So is his mind regressing to a 5 year old? Has to be or else it's BS. Didn't feel anything for that guy who died. All this emotional scene for a guy who was on for pretty much one episode? lol ok.... 5/10 |
SegmentZ said: You can't really blame him for acting like a kid in a kids body, we don't know how it works, he might have been an idiot in his previous life, plus think about it, if one of you got reincarnated how terrible you would do, all you do is watch anime all day, have no knowledge of politics, how world really works, advanced knowledge of literally any useful scientific field, nothing, you're just weebs, you get reincarnated, you're still just a weeb, only without your weebtoons. to be fair, I don't have scientific knowledge and maybe not even particular smart just average as hell but I'm fully aware of how import is medicine, (free) education, hygiene, etc. (everything what is common knowledge for us) So if I would be reincarnated and was powerhouse (like most isekai MC) maybe I wouldn't change the world but I would try to give foundations for this change. |

| aww a bit sad since they've been together and trained for only 2 weeks until the mage needs to be Purged. Now he's a teen on to his journey/adventure! lolz 4/5. |

| The show isn't boring or anything. But I agree that I'm a bit confused as to the whole point of the reincarnation point. If it comes into play later, ok. Otherwise, it seems like that whole thing could be ignored without changing literally anything that has happened so far. But hey, a lighthearted adventure about a kid learning magic and becoming an adventurer, it's entertaining enough so far. Inoffensive. Not gonna win any awards, but inoffensive entertainment is never unwelcome. |
| I find the whole isekai thing unnecessary and hope they add a reason for it or something. The MC doesn’t seem to even care/question being in a new world and leaving his other life behind. He even acts like a little kid instead of a 25 year old. It just doesn’t seem necessary and they could have easily just left the isekai part out. On a positive note, the OP and ED songs are really good! |
| Rip to Alfred, that one hit the feels. I'm excited for this show, but i'm worried about the pacing |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| 2nd episode was okay as well. Just weird that they needed Isekai for this. Could have just been a normal boy from that world. (Maybe they wanted to explain that he acts a bit more grown up with the Isekai ... but he still was crying a lot.) Pacing is a bit fast and the thing with the master being an undead could have been better (more emotional) told in more episodes. But to get quickly to the later stuff (and more action maybe ... the opening shows some enemies not only "working" in agriculture as in episode 1 at the beginning) it was okay to have this 1 episode explanation of training and then first timeskip. Btw I like the OP and ED. They have some oldschool style feeling and I like that. |
| I'm starting to enjoy this series even more. This episode is better than the first ep. :) |
| I had to laugh SO much. I watched it with friends. There were some pretty equivocal scenes here and there hahahha. I want more! It needs the comedy tag! |

| yup, this episode made me cry |
My Candies:  |
| A sad depart, didn't think Well's master will leave so early. He was a nice guy. Well's adventure begun, I hope it's a fun one. |

Kimurah said: As for Reinford backstory and motivations, eh... Wished there was a stronger reason for him to pass his magic on, it felt so awfully specific that his wish was to pass his magic to anyone. If there had been more layers in his story like a child he had and didn't have the opportunity to teach him magic, or a pupil that also lost his life in that skirmish the Duke started. Not saying it's bad, just that it lacks a more grounded motivation. I'd argue wanting to leave a legacy is valid enough on it's own. Many royal families highly aimed for a son to lead and leave a legacy through & be remembered by. Due to being an adventurer he'd be moving around too much to settle down, marry and have a kid. Also considering magic is rare and unbiased towards genes & ranking it's unlikely for his kid to have been born with magic anyways. I can see how passing on his knowledge and leaving an impression on a person to be remembered by would be enough for him. He did say it didn't matter who but considering it took him 5 years to find a "worthy" person, he still had set requirements for whom he'd teach. |
| This is real bottom of the barrel stuff. Why is it even Isseki? It feels like it's just thrown in there at random, why couldn't this have been a straight forward fantasy show? Probably to hide the fact the writing is shit. I'm giving this one more episode to improve. |
kuroneko99 said: Is there any necessity for the setting that the boy is the reincarnation of a 25 years old office worker? To be honest...not really. Besides having large mana pool as a side effect or picking up social cues better than a person of his age, he could've just been born in this world and the story would lose nothing. |
| Let's wait for next episode. anime made time skip while not showing us what he did all those years. let's hope they will at least made small flash backs to show what he did. (his actions and development in between time skip is heavily based on knowledge from past life) a bit surprised they choose this story for adaptation, since it's more slice of life and politic story than action. and they skipped a lot, ep2 end at 20 ln chapter(vol. 1 have 29 chapters + few side story's)... if we go by this pace ep 3 will have content from vol. 2. as far I can remember whole solo training + payment for school + part 1 family drama is missing. |
| This show has a LOT of problems with regards to its character acting and especially its production design (the animation looks REALLY basic through most of the show, and lacks artistic vision with regards to compositing and how to frame shots in an interesting fashion,) but I actually did feel something in this episode. So, it wasn't as bad as the first episode (which really just felt like it was going through the motions of plot-establishment.) The flying scene was one of the first times in this show that I genuinely felt like I was getting pulled into this world. But this show still has a lot of problems. It's mostly a boring middle-of-the road fantasy premise with sloppy execution. |
jack4s said: his actions and development in between time skip is heavily based on knowledge from past life I guess that makes sense. What doesn't make sense why even more of this early period was skipped in the manga. It basically starts with him in school and a little flashback of him meeting the undead guy :| |
ayaan692 said: kuroneko99 said: Is there any necessity for the setting that the boy is the reincarnation of a 25 years old office worker? to explain why he can read and write i guess? The fact that they are using japanese writing system in this fantasy world is absolute lazy writing. |
 |
| I must say, I didn't expect him to be completely gone by 2nd episode... and all that whispering dead stuff. So... now I'm lost. At the beginning he was 15, then we realized he's from our world, then he transforms to the other world and becomes 5 years old and now he's... 12, I guess? What's the point of showing him at the age of 15 and of him being from another world, to begin with...? I don't' quite understand. Especially as he stopped acting like an adult all of a sudden... or is it just the influence of being so young (as their emotional system is different from an adult)? Anyway... we'll see what's fure holds. |
 |
| I gave up after episode 2... which I also skipped a few parts of. I thought he was supposed to be a 25 year old from the modern world, yet he acts completely like a child. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the isekai thing. |
 |
| The 8th son MC Shingo has met a mentor, the "Whispering Dead" Alfred, but the magic part sure has pros and cons. And survivng for one whilst learning mana is quite the challenge. Problem is, his family over the succession dispute is kinda bare-bones, are you kidding me? And with Alfred's deteriorating lifespan, there's not much time left for the undead to find a successor, and with Shingo right in front of him, a good time to pass his magic skills before he passes on. "Do your best, and do it smartly." With that, Shingo/Wendelin starts his adventure. Kinda of a good episode, and his starting point. No regrets |

It basically starts with him in school and a little flashback of him meeting the undead guy :| I was also surprised to see, how much manga skipped, I thought manga was better in this regard. Story in between time skip is quite bland as more or less whole first vol. he hunts for his family, what gave him recognition/peace from his family and enough food for healthy growth. he try to recreate past life food stuff. for that he even create new magic, he really like fermented stuff(his bag have a lot of handmade stuff of all kind, most of gifts for his brothers wedding came from this source). he explored that monster forest and went to main city to sell some hunted animals to earn money for school and his food experiments. also village head tried to trick him into fight for family head position with his elder brother. this is short overview just have in mind, I read this novel few years ago. |
SegmentZ said: Setting aside slowly dumbing down plot and protagonist, this episode was very poorly edited for something that's "ready" for public view, i'm assuming everyone watches CR or HS release so i'll base my timing off that : At 6:20 when father and his brother speak in the library, brother's VA doesn't even finish his line and suddenly the scene gets cut off to a starry sky, At 7:42 they fly around, but then at 12:40 our protagonist is loudly surprised and screams when his teacher lifts him up and flies off which leads me to believe scene at 7:42 should have came right after 12:59 when they raise up to the sky and his surprise ends. You can't really blame him for acting like a kid in a kids body, we don't know how it works, he might have been an idiot in his previous life, plus think about it, if one of you got reincarnated how terrible you would do, all you do is watch anime all day, have no knowledge of politics, how world really works, advanced knowledge of literally any useful scientific field, nothing, you're just weebs, you get reincarnated, you're still just a weeb, only without your weebtoons. very well pointed. I noticed the flaws in editing as well. Very strange, to say the least |
| Why do I get the feeling we're going to see this eldest son of the former Duke of Bleichröder in the future, who's probably the current Duke now...if he survived his so called deadly illness Alfred Rainford was referring to, if not then the next in line for the dukedom. That's some gentle exorcism there ala- Fifth Form, "Blessed Rain After the Drought" from Kimetsu no Yaiba minus the decapitation. So he's 12 now and off to enroll in the Adventurer;s Academy, so a timeskip of 7 years? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| weird how our mc is crying like a baby now. |
| Compared to the first episode it was very good one. Thankfully i didnt drop it after the first episode and the second episode kinda makes me a little excited to continue it. I do hope it gets a little better. Because as for now it still below average anime, which seems that didnt have enough budget as well. |
on 
| The story so far is kind of fine. I can buy that zombie elf magician wants a pupil that he can passed of his knowledge. The problem is, this episode didn't setup anything in term of MC character development. I mean, MC is kind of crybaby (not fitting 25 yo?) and that's it. It as generic as shota steoreotype. And then comes the timeskip. Which means he's going to be spineless generic Japanese MC. Also, I'm worried about future episode. It's established that MC will not inherit the family, so what's the story going to be? I'm annoyed if they went to adventuring and OP MC kill everything without his harems. |
| Dammit, why do I always get attached to the gorgeous teacher figures that die after 1-2 episodes... Interesting detail that he died right around the time Well was born |
| The kid learn much. But i just can't feel anything over that flash lesson. Great! And suddenly the teacher just disappeared like that? Such an anticlimactic way to end the episode. Its too fast, i dont even understand why i watch this in my real intentions. Still, the laugh of the poor noble really relatable for this episode. The laughable material to the 'wtf moment'. And after that, a timeskip? Uh, wtf? So another laughable moment i mentioned before, eh? Great. So, thats it. |

| Rewatched it ... The initial episode that hooked me into reading novel. It was a very goood episode, i'm still holding the same opinion, but now i realize that it's fully anime original. All of it. He already learned the basics before meeting his master, without him he just wouldnt be a great magician as he let him bask in his experience, then he spent like 2 chapters with him compared to one whole episode (that's pretty insane considering that 25 chapters are the first 2 episodes), additionally his master revealed that he is dead right away, so the drama of him discovering it was anime-only. Aaaaand... let's just say that master was a much bigger influence in the anime and... honestly, i like it, that's my favorite episode and novel didn't give his master too much justice. Don't think I remember brother smirking on the news of him leaving to become adventurer, subtly revealing that he knows Wend has magic, wasabi too, don't think Wend ever let him taste wasabi. Btw considering how much time we spent on his master, it's weird to not show him give his magic bag to Wend, seeing how it will be constantly used in later episodes... Great episodes regardless... |

| Poor Well, getting treated better by the undead guy who he has only known for two weeks than his own damn family... Still find it pretty weird how Well reacts to things, doesn't make me think that he was originally a 25-year old outside his fast learning capabilities and the fact that he can read/write |
 |
| They should've just wrote this as "fantasy" instead of isekai. His 25 year old salaryman experience should have made him at least more mature to deal with some obvious situations a child couldn't handle. If he was just an ordinary kid without the adult backstory then all of those reactions and emotions would've made more sense. This series better explain the need for him to be isekaid. |
