| Funimation uploaded the first episode today. Seems the narrator put a lot of effort into introducing the cast and the world to viewers. A lot of obvious fantasy themes in this show. Luminaria is probably the most badass character introduced so far. There's a lot of JRPG-ish like action as expected from a fantasy anime. Not going to lie, Mira's appearance this episode was cute and slightly amusing. She just casually appears and puts her clothes on like a video game protagonist. "I am cute" lol |
 |
| Funimation's special early preview on their official YouTube channel, limited screening. Yet another Isekai VRMMORPG that's SAO-like, the 2nd one thus far after Wednesday's Leadale, this Ark Earth Online. The Nine Wise Men group which are essentially the Kingdom of Alcait's guards, each and every one of them are strong in their own right. Of all of them, the powerful magician Dunblf Gandagore is the MC, a one-man army, before he mysteriously disappeared (creating the Wandering of the Elders incident) and reverted to a loli known as the "I am cute" Mira. Being a Studio A-CAT production, be prepared to see some ass low-budget CGI in here. A pretty bare-bones introduction, I need to see more, espeically for the last few minutes being "show, don't tell". |
 |
| An OK episode 1. Part A is a typical background introduction story. Nothing too interesting. The weird J-Pop song during the fight scene felt a little out of place. Part B was more interesting. I think the BGM and the no dialogue format was a JRPG homage, as it really reminded me of opening movies of many JRPGs. We'll see how it goes from here on out. |
| "I'm...cute." Yes you are! :D Well, it was mostly copy and paste stuff, but definitely not a bad episode. I like the characters. The last 5 minutes without dialogue were hilarious. :) |

| 2022 will be the year of innovation, I'm feeling it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Wow that was a lot worse than I was expecting |
| First episode! The nine wise men who are essentially the main guardians/protectors of Alcait are very powerful with Dunblf who is the 'one man army' being the co founder of it. He defeats 10,000 monsters himself, reports back to the leader and then gets changed into Mira-a cute character who is nothing like the old man character he previously used. 'I am...cute!' The CG wasn't the greatest though... Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| This was bad... really bad. I love the colorful LN illustrations to death, so maybe I was expecting a bit much, but even then this episode just looked like trash. First episodes usually look much better than the rest of the season, so if the first episode is already this atrocious how will later episodes look like? I'm expecting that 90% will be still frames and panning shots, with characters being off model half the time. The direction was also an utter mess, why start with Dunbalfs backstory and then leave a third of the episode completely voiceless? Such a disappointment... |
| That was so incredibly mediocre. |
| Studio A-CAT is a 3rd class Studio. They should stop making anime. |
| This is one of the worst series I have ever watched. Mostly boring slideshows, bland and bad CGI. No effort seen. At least the song sang by the angel was nice. |
| Didn't think I'd ever see Gandalf in an anime but there you go But uh that.. wasn't great in general was it lol. The parody elements aside, having a 5 minute montage-like slideshow for no apparent reason felt weirdly out of place and the whole thing feels like a low-budget production |
  |
| i gotta say that this "game" would be fucking AMAZING if it was real. sounds fun |
 |
| This season's already off to an abysmal start but man it's only getting worse and worse and worse with premieres like this. Somehow Orient won't be the worst premiere I've seen among the few so far after this one lol. |
| Oh look another VRMMORPG anime |
 |
| ngl i'm disappointed that this is an isekai. the first half of the episode, with the characters' avatars talking like real people was great, i wish the whole show was like that. the five minute montage was weird, especially the pissing. what was the point of that anyway, other than enticing a certain niche of anime fans? lol |
| Oh yes they still have the accent lol. Thats gonna be interesting to listen to. I'm glad they spent some time on them as their old man character first rather than just jumping straight into it. Same as what the Greatest Assassin anime did. I can already tell I'm gonna really like this. Its great to be able to add 2 isekai anime to my collection from this season alone and both are starting off great. Also I really like that they're a summoner. The only Isekai OP character we have who is a summoner is Ainz so this'll be nice. Those valkyries he summoned were pretty. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Alright, I like the premise of the series and I find the explanation of the game and the world interesting. But the production quality is killing me, especially the cgi, in this anime. I'm reading a comment above that even says that it's not adapting the LN well (I don't read it, but I've seen illustrations and it's very different from this)... |
   You and the rose are connected. Know the weight of your own life |
| If musical interludes are going to be "a thing" with this, 100% I won't make a full season. |
| isekai, gender bender and boring. three strikes, you're out!!! |

| Far worse than expected... Not entirely familiar with the source material but I have to imagine that it's the Director that failed this one. Incredibly long winded intro, to a pointless battle that features Gandolf the "summoner????" which is strange, and incredibly pointless to show anyone. The OOC RP talks, unless it has some substantial purpose to the story. The silent film ending, also felt out of place, is this a trend? Will most of the series end up being a sequence of silent films? I ended the episode more confused than I started it. A lot of pointless things happened, and very little of the episode set the stage for the story, it may have done something to build a "setting" I guess? However, without reading the synapsis, I would have absolutely no idea what is going on. |
| CGI still shots... eek. This episode just felt empty. Nothing interesting in the start and I didn't care much 'bout the introduction of this world. I like the silent moment in the end, but that felt a bit jarring with the battle scenes that came before it. I hope it'll get better though |
Lord_Godwin said: I just wanted to check the airing schedule only to find out it's already rated 5.70 score. I don't even have the courage to watch this now, one of my most awaited adaptation. The most i can hope for is a studio change if season 2 will be a thing. The studio that animates this currently does not have a good reputation. i was the same way earlier. i had to check the episode discussion and yea, ill stay away and let others do the watching |
| i'd like to interject something. did NOBODY notice the file they watched was ONLY 20 MINUTES LONG? has everybody forgotten Funimation did an early teaser release of 'Scarlet Nexus' ep1 on their YT channel last season? the first few days that ep of SN was out AN INTERVIEW WITH THE OP BAND WAS AT THE END OF THE EPISODE! Funi cut content/or was provided cut content out of SN ep1 to do that promo. it's called a 'soft open' people. restaurants/hotels/casinos do this all the time to test their staff, facilities, menus etc. against actual customers. this is just an extended trailer in my-book... for now. until official broadcast starts, i'm calling this ep0 and waiting for a FULL 24 MINUTE EP1! |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| Well i have trash taste but this kind of goes even beyond. That CGI was....idk how to even describe it. Didn't really peaked that much of interest in me but will give it 2-3 more eps to see a bit more but its 98% a drop. |
  |
| it's kinda bad but I just can't get enough Isekai and I will watch every single one of them |
