okay episode, really starting to question why it's an Isekai though, apart from that one reference he said about saying sorry I don't think it adds anything to this story by being one.

The fight scenes are very underwhelming but the world building is interesting so I'm still keen to see more.



At this point it's just a fantasy anime and the only thing that validates the isekai tag is Will saying he has memories of another life.

We finally get to see Will's adventures beyond the ruins, and he now has his first ally in Meneldor. Lol the way he channeled Gus to solve that situation using money was pretty funny. It's nice to see Will using the things he learned from his undead family to help him get by.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

In my opinion, the experiences that Will remembers from his past life is what quietly drives him to the direction he is heading now and it is what influenced him to make those decisions in the first place.

The start-up wasnt very fast, but I like where this series is heading. Wonder what kind of break point episode 12 will be, but no way that it is done by then.

glad Will's finally off on his adventure. I do feel like the studio isn't really up to the task of doing this justice, so it's really coasting off the source material being good. but the source material judging by this is probably pretty good!

The elf guy is really pretty, it was really hard to tell gender from the OP lol. ah well, still hot. I am looking respectfully at his beautiful archer arms.

This week, money can solve everything lmao. Also the Elf is actually "He", damn i waited for long time just to get trolled by author.

This is Isekai i must watch, this is not a perfect adaptation by seeing the animation and budget, but this is better than any Isekai this season. Good Charracter, World Building, no Harem and more religious. I'm looking forward for next week.

I thought the first 5 episodes were really weak, and I only kept on watching because of the light novel's score, but this one was great. I'm very excited for more episodes now!
My thoughts exactly.

Also, I think the main char will realize that his undead parents had more "humanity" than any humans he will encounter and find out that they mire be more evil than demons.

There were literally logical gaps everywhere in this story guys, im amazed at how many people "loved it."

Like Will encounters fairy magic which he says he has no experience against and no idea how to deal with, and then he proceeds to overcome it immediately by saying "He doesnt realize that if your muscles are built up enough, you can solve almost any problem by force." Like if that isnt the dumbest headcanon out to defending against an unknown attack then I dont know what is.

Also Meneldor has clearly helped out the villagers in that one village many times, so much so that the chief even mentions it. So how does it make any sense that when Meneldor's village is attacked that it makes ANY sense to conclude to raid the other village instead of asking them for help?!?! Like it doesnt make any sense at all, especially since he's helped them in the past and has leverage due to his hunting abilities.

So far this series has been average at best.

Is no one going to talk about how utterly dumb the logic in this episode was?

So Meneldor’s village was destroyed, and instead of, you know, maybe talking to the neighboring village with which he previously shared friendly relations with and seeking help from it, he and his party decide to attack it instead? Not only that, but everything is just water under the bridge because Will paid some money for them, even though they had committed a crime serious enough to warrant being hanged.

Smh…easily the worst-written episode yet.

Edit: lol, I guess Ballistic beat me to it. At least it looks like someone was actually thinking while watching the episode.

Ugh, that Elf was a douche at first lol. I'm surprised he went for him after he was cold as hell to him, but holy crap I was not expecting that. Not that he was the "bad" guy(but considering what he was doing he was definitely in that situation) and then for him to stop them all and save them from being hung, very cool. Really liked this episode and it has me more excited for the rest of the season.

I still am pretty bummed about what happened to his family, but I love new party members and I bet he'll help him get even stronger. I wonder who'll join up next, and is there going to be a girl party member I wonder. I've been pretty up and down with this show, the first episode I really liked and then it was back and forth for me after that but this sets up a good back half of the season.

I never read the books so I don't know but I assume part of my feelings on the first part were because the first parts were like the prologue and maybe not even in the books right?(or maybe just a couple paragraphs that they stretched out since I think I read someone say last week was the actual beginning of the story or something.)

and you'd be wrong,the first arc is basically about him growing up and learning from Blood,Mary and Gus about the gods and magic and the world in general,this now is where Wills story of his path as a Paladin begins and his adventures and other stuff.
The first arc is quite long and goes into a lot more detail than the anime,but,tbh the adaptions done a pretty good job in keeping most of the pertinent details in play,so to speak

Will got a companion on this journey that is a great help for him, the plot of Meneldor was well placed in the Villain causing him to be almost killed but was saved by Will.

For Will's first journey he met an elf and helped an entire village. He decided to hire the elf and kill the demons in the next neighbouring village. That was a proper journey for starters. It is enjoyable.

Definitely the world building episode, and an introduction of a new character. Well, even if Menel wasn't really faithful to the god of fairies, at least he got some good use of those power under his hands using those fairies. But, looks like there's something big rather than just that short meet.

Ah, first world problem occured to the faraway paladin. He got some divine revelation, and all the teaching from his parents really worth a shot at those difficult situations. Yeah, Money always solved everything, which made Gus must be proud of Will xd. Its also become a case when he got the new friend. Well, currently he's not that friend first, because he's being paid as a partner for the job to slay some random demon. Yet, at the end, this is a decent beginning to start out the big journey awaits our paladin outside the city of the dead, for me, at least....

Not that bad build up episode, I liked how it draws from the leassons of the past to make sense of his present behavior. It is pretty clear that this anime lacks intensity though, it doesn't feel like there is something to watch for because everything is at the same level. Some feelings benefit from this, like the melancholic or more blue toned ones, but the ones that are more in the lines of anger or desperation are barely expressed

Pretty good episode! Out of all the things Will learned, the most useful is definitely money lmao, based Grandpa Gus. I really like how Will is really living the things he learned from his undead parents. Also, who needs fairy counter strategies when you have muscles.

All this time in the OP I though Menel was a girl, and of course Ayumu Murase is voicing him. I like him though, he's pretty cool. Well, I mean Will is also a girlish looking boy, so I guess Menel fits the party just fine lmao. Looking forward to the next episode, hoping to see Will one shot some demons.

Finally something new is happening! I like this adventurous direction to this story. No clear endgoal for William G. Maryblood for now but that's to be expected.

No animation error in this episode. At least nothing I could spot. Looks good and hopefully the quality will keep improving consistently.

I'm very much continuing to like Will's characterisation as he steps out into the world and moves forward. He's got strong moral convictions, but he's also astute enough to caredully approach interactions with new characters like Meneldor and maneuvre the situation towards the outcome he desires.

And Meneldor is an interesting new addition to the cast, a hunter fallen on hard times and forced by those circumstances into a situation where he's working for Will as a mercenary (though I imagine that relationship will equalise somewhat once they've handled the demons in his village).

Meneldor will likely be a character of great relevance to the anime and will likely be of great importance to Will's development as a character. I hope that the next episode is already more focused on the goal of Will.

That was a surprising development. Was it wise for Will to spend all or most of his money (or rather Gus' money; they're supposed to be an interest-free loan) to save the lives of these villagers and the elf? The villagers are probably largely irrelevant, but time will tell in regards to the elf I guess.

Blood and Mary would be really proud of Will right now. Gus too, for how he managed to handle that situation with the elf and those villagers.

It’s kind of cool to gauge Will’s power compared to the outside world. Looks like he’s pretty OP thanks to all the training.
