Both Will and Menel are on their adventure when they encountered a little girl, Robina Goodfellow (LOL, the name), and Antonio. The good thing was they didn't get hurt because of that giant ape and Will managed to protect them. Robina is so cheerful and adorable. Her singing is great as well.

Also, it was nice to see a little bit of Blood, Mary, and Gus's past together and how they help out others. Will wants to make new friends and looks like two more friends have already joined him. I'm happy for him.

Will's journey continues...
I skipped episode 7.5 which is a recap anyway and almost forgot this was supposed to drop today. Glad it got recommended to me. Gotta say I got hooked right back with the backstories of Mary, Blood and Gus. I'm so intrigued by the world now. I hope Will will meet the elf the three heroes saved and tell her Gus' name and that at least he is still "alive".

So we got two new characters, Bee and Tonio. Bee sure talks a lot doesn't she? Hope it won't get to the point where it's annoying (really bordering that line for me).

Not surprising Will doesn't know much of their world, so yeah having Menel does helping him a big time.

Robina sure is a lively girl who speaks a lot, so glad to have someone like her too joining Will and Menel in their journey. Now to the city of Whitesails.

The backstory of Blood, Mary and Gus was nice. Both Robina and Antonia are likeable characters. Also they finally reached the city, pretty excited to see what'll happen next.

With new friends brings new development, and the world-building never ceases to amaze. Will sure didn't know that Gracefeel's job is one hell of a peace-keeping Faithful task, but we'll know in time to come. Solve the smaller issues first.

Facing a giant ape was dangerous, but knowing the 2 new companions: the halfling troubabour Robina "Bee" Goodfellow and hawker "Tonio" Antonio provides a new revenue of fun. Will is still quite sheltered, so Menel doing all the negotiation work to lead them to Whitesails, and these 2 prove their business capabilities quite intuitively through villages on the way there.

Hmm, Bee's songs of Heroism about Mary, Blood and Gus sure surprises Will, and it's no surprise that the Three Heroes are very well-rememebered for their dedication and loyalty to the land. Bear in mind that this part is taken from Ch 28, the backstory of the Three Heroes, which IMO adds quite the significance to the anime, which the manga only displayed right after the Whitesails arc.

Tonio asking Will some hard questions, and think of it as a reality check on himself and why he continues to carry the Blessing of Gracefeel wherever he goes, now with friends and companions onto Whitesails...which has a kingdom lord problem outside of the Egbert family, that thankfully didn't exist there.

Reaching Whitesails...and the adventures continue there.

Finally! There's so many developments here and things to look forward to be adapted.

Will finally found some traces of his foster but like real parents to him and we somehow got to see some background story from the three of them. I do wonder what has become of those 2 kids since a human only has a shorter lifespan than the elves, generally speaking and what will Will discover in the city?

I can't wait for another adventure!
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Will gets to hear the story about Blood, Mary and Gus. It was nice to see that they are still known in the world. Also Will finally sees a city for the first time. I'm looking forward to the next episode because we get to see inside the city and there might be a succession feud in the palace.

Will is getting more friends too which is nice to see.

It was nice that the Three Heros names are spread throughout the land.

We get the Bard and Merchant now. God I love the DnD impact in this anime.

I hope Will meets the Half Elf one day, that would be awesome.

This episode felt kinda rushed with how the new characters were introduced to the cast and they very easily decided to follow them and even become friends without much in terms of development. In fact, the only backstories we were able to see clearly were those of the trio, who maybe we have seen enough of in realtion to other characters (I think).

Also, props to Bee for playing that instrument so fast that it looked static!

Man alive, the animation for this series is so basic, plain, boring, limited, etc. Just God awful. I can't muster enough adjectives to describe how disappointing the animation is for a series and story like this.

And I'm someone, who out of hundreds of series and anime in general watched, never once complained about the animation in a serious and strong manner saying it is a dealbreaker or anything remotely of the sort, and usually think people are being way too harsh, dramatic, and nitpicky when they zero in and harp on every flaw in animation or how cheaper/lower budget shows are drawn and handled.

But this is just so egregious. The action sequences are like a flipbook of a few stills and everything is so low in detail. This is the kind of series that, like any other, has other flaws, but you get the impression has the latent potential to be this amazing epic, but it's just handled so cheaply and poorly and the most unimaginative, lazy, dull execution of every fight, every emotional moment, and every scene in general compared to what could be.

The actual plot points are fine - sometimes even wondrous or thrilling. The animation, writing in terms of pacing and dialogue and characterization, and direction is killing - no, wholesale exterminating the potential of all its positive attributes down to the foundation.

Really good episode! Will scaring off the monke just bye staring it down was pretty cool. Bee and Tonio are great, more than welcome to have joined the party. Plus, Bee's singing is beautiful, must protecc.

It's really nice to hear stories about Mary, Blood and Gus. I hope we get more of those as Will goes through his journey. I also hope Will gets to meet that elf lady waiting all these time to be able to pay back what they owe.

Port towns are always beautiful and Whitesail is no different, looking forward to the next episode.

New place to set up the journey. Its a port town named Whitesail. Ah, a new fellow for Will already arrived after such a scene. Talkative Goodfellow loli halfling, named Robin, and the merchant employee that being tasked temporary by his company to sell items directly through the street, Tonio, Hawker. Interesting combination for the business matters, especially when Will joined up the gang, to give the impact more. While Menel? Well, let the handsome dude chill in the behind, while guarding them. Not that Will need it, tho xd.

Song of heroism, the story of the trio heroes on the past, which also reminded Will again over those three parents. Wonder if Will's journey will get the same treat, being recorded as the song and history like Robin. Its nice to see Tonio kinda reminded Will again about what he wanted at those isekai world. That's it, simple, a friend.

But, what about the noble at the Whitesail town? Lets see how Will handle the situation...

I feel like this show is moving too slow, it does seem like there is some detail in this world though so I hope there is some pay off to these episodes.

Also when that Halfling girl was playing the music, the animation on her using that violin thing was embarrassing, at first I thought she wasn't moving the string because she didn't need to, it used magic or something to play it, but then it showed she was moving it after.

They legit couldn't be bothered to animate movement.

This might be one of the worst animation studio work I have ever seen.

As for the pacing, considering the show is supposed to have only 12 episode, it is incredibly slow. Yes it makes characters more likeable coz we now know their motives and character better but its 4 episodes till end and nothing major has happened. I hope there will be better paced second season of this as I enjoy this overall.

Animation (or lack thereof) aside, this was a good return to form after a couple of episodes with terrible pacing before this. Bee and Tonio round out our cast nicely, and through Bee's songs Will has gained a new source of motivation for his journey into the wider world. Big fan of that theme of Blood, Mary and Guts still having impact on the world long after their two deaths as well.

Will and Meneldor were finally joined by Antonio and Robina, the two other members of their party we've been seeing in the OP sequence from the start. Antonio and Robina are as different as it gets, but I think they make a great pair, and not just business-wise.

It was quite emotional for Will to find out that Blood, Mary and Gus are still remembered and their deeds are sang by bards. I was surprised that after two full centuries they're still remembered, since people have short memories. I hope Will manages to meet with that half-elf elderly woman, who is almost certainly the last person who met the Big Three and is still alive.

The production issues might be the nail in the coffin for me with this anime.

At its peak this anime has still been bland and unengaging. Restricting it with reduced character movement and almost exclusively doing shot reverse shot is a death sentence. There’s no energy. I feel like I gain nothing from watching this. The ideas that it brings with the gods and divine powers is more interesting than anything that has actually been executed in this anime.

I might drop it here but we’ll see how I feel in a week.

Bee and Tonio are pretty good as new friends to join the group, and it's really heartwarming how Bee sang the song about the three heroes, not surprising that Will almost cried hearing they're not forgotten at all, anyway now they reached Whitesails, let's see how it goes.

I’m about ready to give up on this anime… the animation is awful and the plot is just weird; it’s so rushed but at the same time nothing is happening! It’s like they’re concentrating on the most boring things.

As far as the characters are concerned: the designs are beautiful but they is no substance to them at all. I’m definitely going to read the LN though cause this has such potential and I’ve heard the LN is really good

It was nice to hear more stories about Blood and Mary through the (gnome?) lady's song. Also was poignant that the elf is apparently still waiting for them to return (and hopefully there's enough time/episodes to have pay-off on that).

Otherwise still nice to have more backstory on them either way.

My opinion of this anime is steadily climbing. The main party is already looking to be a unique and entertaining group, and it's set up some significant worldbuilding efforts too. It should probably spend more time on individual scenarios though, as I feel like Will is resolving all of them at too quick a pace. Besides that, it's turning out to be pretty good so far.
