Yikes, a zombie attack.

I guess sometimes, they have to expect the unexpected in this show even when zombies out of nowhere. On the other hand, at least they made it to the fort. About time, really.

Oh right, workers=zoombies haha ... a last thing i was expecting to see in the show ... we full on a desperation mode now, i guess.

They also met a weird mage skeleton girl who was totally not used by our mc-kun from the future which caused her death ...

Ghosts that are more like zombies reaming around in the silent fortress dungeon, while the others are almost buck-naked. This rabbit hole goes deeper than anyone else imagined, and Kinji going it alone buck naked is a mystery.

Even being zombies, they can't escape being the coporate Black Company drones that they are at their core. But for Shia and the others, they can only blend in...to Shia's chagrin as she takes offense at the zombies being manipulated by magic to make potions. But what they find him doing...is lecturing the mage (whom is supposed to trick the hero whom Kinji has a semblance to in looks, but the exact opposite instead), and gaining salvation instead.

Even at the adventurer shop that Cindy operates, Kinji has a problem with being sold defective products at their goodwill, and its Raiza'ha back at it again to oppress these shops of their wealth. But you can trust that Kinji is a YES-MAN, and he'll do what it takes for Cindy to earn back a profit from this silent fortress dungeon.

HAHA are everyone doing marketing and advertising for whiz LOLS...AND WAIT, the kid and hero cape characters are a classic cameo though! What a perfect disguise of an addictive option and the "Dead Cow" name to shamelessly win customers...well, that got busted with a Salt Bae reference. Make a run for it, Kinji!

The 4th floor dungeon....that's their next goal.

When the world already sucks, anything bad you want to do, someone else has already done it already...

Dead Cow... I'm sure the name was Ninomiya's idea. The ad was the weirdest I've ever seen in my life hsahash
Ugh I guess running away is also a strategy, nice

Now they look like they've come out in a different world, who knows what crazy things are in store for them xd

Highly advanced zombies with healing abilities and they're also working in the basement on some kind of potions, I guess.

They're getting along quite well with Ninomiya and enjoy his company, even Rim who considered him as food at first. That mage looked like she didn't recognize that it was our Ninomiya. Well kinda. But, she's no more regrets now and she's free.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this show's story is starting to get really disjointed. It feels like they are doing one thing and then it just moves to another story without a flow.

Taka no Tsume cameo kind of felt out of place too. Not sure what the relationship is between the two shows are.

Zombies working to create potions... yeah that's kinda the same state of mind in real life, and that skeleton mage girl understood it as well thanks to Ninomiya xD it was really fun when he tried to help that shop with these boosted and illegals energy potion but of course they got stopped and they escaped anyway, now the 4th floor looks really interesting, there is a huge forest and mountains directly in the dungeon, wow.

Ninomiya proving himself once more as the protagonist of the season, if not even the entire year!
But damn, SILVER LINK has become a bunch of prudes. None of the girls were supposed to be wearing giant towels. Heck, I feel like they covered more than their usual clothes.

Seems that Red Bull like commercials also work in the other world, tho when trouble started Ninomya was the first one the bail.
And the poor girl was left behind.
Hopefully for her things will work out somehow.

They did, those outfits they usually wear don't cover much.

Ghosts = Zombies, Ninomiya abducted by the legendary mage from the story which is actually wrong. Slime had an undead and now this? Seems like they really love them lol. Anyway, pretty fun episode. Second part was amazing too. He never fails to make some good underhand business.

Yo, they trapped under the hidden fortress where there's lived a ghost story from a long time ago. But its ended up that the story was a huge misunderstanding. The true betrayer was a hero-like Kinji, and the mage cursed all people's that walked into those place as a corporate drones, like the ghost in the past. In short, the ghost mage realized that the whole world already turned into what she wish, and she vanished with no regrets. Happy end for the poor mage that revealed to be a beautiful woman. Oh shit, Kinji, you got it!

The second part where that cute manager shop from the op finally had an appearance and she also got a good help from Kinji and co. Fuckin hilarious advertisement and ridiculous addictive substance Kinji got in order to make the shop growth fast. Still, even though the process quite fast succeeded and fast to go down while the authority found out the addictive ingredient. At least lord Kinji helped that nice lady out of her negativity from building up her own shop, with her own hands. Good for her. Really looking forward to see her success, well, after Kinji finishing out his own problem with the dungeon.

Now on to the next floor!

That was a fucking hilarious episode. The whole thing with the mage and the hero who I assume is an ancestor of Ninomiya lmao. Pretty hilarious how the mage just passed on when she found out the world was already going to shit.

Cute innocent manager lady learning to scam from the best of the best. The adventurers and Rim advertising dead cow and that commercial was hilarious too. Overall just a really fun episode. The 4th floor though damn. Looking forward to the next episode.

Dead cow, I wonder if the name is inspired by the term "cash cow". And it's called "dead" cow, because the adventurer are going to overestimate their ability (because of the potion effect) and die.
Not the best business model but since they have limited stock... why not !

Salt bae has been a meme for like 5 years now and anime are still referencing him lol.

Lmao poor Ninomiya, found a great way to market that potion but the feds came and shut that down 💀
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

It felt like they skipped an episode or something. Really weird that it didn't continue where the last episode left off and there was a new character that was never explained.

Despite how they met and how scummy Kinji is, its wholesome to hear everyone say they have an enjoyable time with him and also to see them helping out with the Dead cow potion scam.

Did I miss an episode? Cos this didn't seem to continue from where episode 8 left off at all and it was really jarring.

That "hero" was definitely either Ninomiya's ancestor or perhaps Ninomiya himself.

I was kinda expecting him to convince the ghost mage to help work for him. Like you could move on or you could torture some people for us and exact some of your revenge lol

But it was nice the other characters said they enjoyed his company.

Another business part from Ninomiya. A new character has been unlocked, Cindy. I think Ninomiya did a great job to help people and push their potential.
