I enjoyed the manga a fair bit and I like the goofy tone in this adaptation. Arc going totally overboard with his actions.

The first ep was pretty good, animation is beautiful. I hope it is not harem, If there are female characters go with Arc, then 1-2 characters is enough

That's one way to quickly gain or lose viewers lmao. That was pretty fun, this must be what was going on in Veldora's head while he was sealed.

Will always like sound effects on OPs, well, as long as it's used only on special episodes, like this one, which is the premiere. Goddamn though, Pellek sang the OP!? Definitely feels to be just an unga bunga fun show, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Not really the fan of the ost of this series, honestly. But so far i can see Arc being a fun mc as same as what i feel back when i saw Diablo from How not to summon the demon lord. By using such an opening bait sequence like that actually quite a bold and very pervert attempt. I almost lost my faith when seeing that, but also couldn't help but chuckle, until i saw Arc and wishing, you may can bringing this show into a better path...

So far this is just okay. Not that as bad as Shijou first impression, but not really standing out. Though, really looking forward to get to know those little green pet, and those elf. Lets see....

I was expecting NOTHING from this, but looks like it will be a hysterically funny ride later on.

The Opening Theme is straight glorious LMAO

Will have to take a look at the LN or the manga to see if things get as hilarious as I'm hoping them to get. So far, they just went Overlord, except KonoSuba style.

Oh boy that Opening scene really give us PTSD from Goblin Slayer. lol

but holy hell the Opening Theme Song is by Pellek!!! his debut on Official Anime Song...
Congrats to him...

the elf girl is voice by Fairouz Ai? and Arc is voice by same VA as Veldora?
talking about fun personality...

I like the first episode, seems gonna be Fun Adventure Isekai.

Never thought I'd see CGI in an actual OP and ED (excluding CGI anime) not saying it's bad CGI but still kinda weird.

But on the controversial topic yeah after goblin slayer, opening to that seems kinda of like a cheap gimmick.


I mean the opening is fine and all it shows that this will be a bit of a gory show. But it not like the goblin slayer Opening is really good. Just to note just saying this to whole form having a shock value seen at the start is not unique movies and shows have done that for years.

But for a first episode it ok
I just don't know how this anime really stands out over other OP MC Other world shows. It really not done anything unique at all yet.

And so we come to our last new cheat power RPG reincarnation crapfest of the season, and we're starting out 'strong' by jumping straight to the rape scene advertised in the promos. Well, nowhere to go for the rest of the episode but up from here. And it succeeds. At not going anywhere up. Because after this follows the reviewal of the status screens and character sheet, the explanation that it's an RPG, and then we do the rape scene a second time, but this go round, longer and rapier. Fantastic. You're going to win a lot of converts with this one, Japanese anime industry.

The especially sad part is that the rape scene is where all the tiny, miniscule, pathetic budget went too, and it still was terribly animated. The rest of the episode is on a shoestring budget and frequently devolves to stills even when there was anything to animate in the first place. Perhaps the dumbest were when it tried to work in reaction shots of the titular skeleton dude by half cutting out the CGI armor just to show one eye glowing. Whatever you were going for with this show, people, this ain't it.

Besides the start everything was ok. Nothing too special yet. will watch this for now since overlord season 4 isn't out yet. So if ainz was just in his momon role the whole time I guess it would be this.

generic isekai with the only unique thing being it's title i swear some of these authors only put so much work into the name and base premiese only to realize they need to try and make something interesting out of the genre but that's expecting too much when this stuff is suppose to just be junk food consumed .

not even gonna go into opening up with some gross sexual assault for no reason only for a extended cut by the later parts of the episode somehow think it was worse than goblin slayer

i just realized yeah this is kinda like how overlord started before overlord really wanted to be overlord at least this guy seems to be quite happy and more on the side of good even in a messed up way if he still thinks it's all a game just murdering dudes chopping them up into bits which is a bit much for a comedy

cutting board it goes unless i hear good things about this one

Surprised to see the lack of triggered twitter users.

The rape was already shown in the very first trailer, so yeah, maybe it would have had an affect if they didn't do that. Not much to say otherwise, the OP has two nice explosions. I'll probably watch another episode of this.

Nope. She is farther from camera, walks behind Arc and is hidden by his cloak.

Gotta say, the "Risqué" bait had me at first. Almost thought I misjudged it as a typical Isekai comedy... But nope, not falling for it. I don't doubt they'd pull more risque/gore moments again but, it's definitely just for shock-factor, not a result of story uniqueness.
Not to say it's bad. It's actually, imo, one of the better Isekais when it comes to the protag's reaction to getting Isekai'd and explaning some of its "game" mechanics (not great, but fairly well done). But can definitely see how it'll go from here.
Protag solo entertained us in this episode though so, credits for that.

Was that opening scene supposed to be serious? Or someone may even ask was it even necessary. Guess no’s an answer for both of these questions.

Another plain premiere to sum up this first episode, but atleast the main is a bit tolerable.


Was thinking the same.. No need for that kinda scene, for real..

Outside of a controversial first couple of minutes this was generic and uninteresting. Ill give it an episode or two more to pickup but overall this was underwhelming and without the controversy this would have been mostly passed over.

Funny when nobody here mention that the game MC play before getting isekaied is not VR but it a game that more like your MMO right now like WoW and FFXIV (hint look at how he explain the dimension step)

also anime pay a lot of small detail like the sword shaking when Arc hold it over his head with one hand.
you can see the tree got burn to crisp at the fire scenes.
you can see Arc lose attitude a bit before active next dimension step.
also the horse Arc ride have armor so it should be the breed that can carried heavy load.

also this might trigger someone but there another detail:

Really liked the OP.
Also, with this and the overlord return next season my need for skeleton MC are met for a long time.
The eating thing however confuses me. How exactly that works? Where does the food go? Can Arc have a stomache?

I did NOT expect this show to open with a graphic rape scene, under those circumstances I cant even say I enjoyed those ANIMATED TITTIES like I usually do.

Didnt he just get the license or was he also paid? Seems like he paid for the food somehow, I guess he sold the bandits stuff

Now that I think about it, an isekai setting were poaching laws are a thing and you cant just walk around doing whatever you want would be interesting.

Anyway, promising start. Better than Shield Hero already lol

PelleK is a song writer and singer who does anime covers, and now he's done an opening for an anime.
