Ainz ooal gown is that you? Well it sure resembles a little of overlord, a character from game and the person who creates it is reincarnated into that character. It sure will be a very good anime for this season

the first episode was lit af 🔥🔥🔥, Loved it. Giving it straight 9/10 from start. I may give it 10/10 at end if it maintains such good animation and Plot consistency

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.


No, but it grabs attentionand hopefully triggered many people
Kind of becoming norm, this attention seeking stunt.

In the episode, I liked it because I saw him reborn in the world of the game he was playing and saw him save the girl from rape and see the same girl fall in love with him.

If you take away the whole skeleton aspect (which Overlord has already done lol) this might be the most generic and vanilla isekai I've ever seen, there isn't much else to make it stand out. Still had a decent time with the episode, though I don't think there was really a need to show the same attempted rape scene TWICE

Also, PelleK doing the opening?! That's cool as shit

They don't even bother to create a truck accident anymore, just MC sleep and then get into isekai. It's that kind of anime, pure power fantasy.
I've zero interest in fantasy, but I interest in men, and while skeleton knight himself is not what I need, many other men are hot, the adventurers in the guild, even the bandit, and I'll get to see more in the future according to the official website.

Talk about intro bait. Starts off with an apprehensive scene, only to have the rest of the episode be generic as fuck.

Not sure how this is going to differ from all other similar shows we've had, but I guess we will see...

Ignoring the story because I have read it on other media. My impression of the 1st episode is that the studio done pretty good. VA as expected as it should be, drawing quality tbh great and quite detailed, no big scenes missed and the comedy part are there to laugh at.

Only a personal thing I don't like is the SFX on such kind of opening seems... disturbing. But who knows how the next episodes run.

NTR scene from the first scene of the first episode, even the PV... no comment. That fight scene was grotesque... I guess we are getting some wonderful?, non-censored episodes throughout this series... Those long names...

Anyway, the animation is so smooth for me that it feels enjoyable to watch, especially the action/skills scenes.

P.S.


Btw, the theme songs are good enough and the VA's are damn good.

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.

Wow the first few seconds caught me off guard, closed my computer so fast since it sounded just like a hentai. I've heard people meming this anime from looking a bit like an overlord copy, so I had my doubts going in. Overall this was a very fun first episode to watch and I'm looking forward to next week's episode.

I normally watch these copy/paste trapped in a videogame isekai titles with a rised eyebrow given how regularly there is so much emphasis on the aesthetic of a skilltree with engurish names. But at least this one does the job right by making the skills less the important thing and focus on the whole adventure in a new world.


The comedic bits are quite fine (not all of them land, but on average it's quite good), so I'll guess this will at least be the "fun" kind of isekai.

Great episode! Arc has a very good personality and is pretty funny xD. Don't think he'll need that runestone from defeating the orc considering he has the most OP armour ever lol.
Glad he saved her from the bandits also!

Looking forward to the next episode!

Damn I really enjoyed it, like his character, lmfao @ .... Glance... And looting all the bandits hahaha... Looking forward to the rest of this shos before, he reminds me of Ainz a little but def more leaning towards the hero side. Hope this is a bit, lmao I wish he had a normal face, this girl can stare at him all she wants but he's a Bone Daddy ☠️😩

Well, I'll be damned but this was a far more interesting first episode than I could ever hope for..

Ofc a rape scene for that shock value then it gets into easy fantasy stuff.. Arc is a bit like Ainz but guess he tilts toward the "good" side rather than Ainz bad and villainous side..

The animation and CGI were definitely not bad but rather pretty pleasing to look at.. ofc not Demon slayer but they were done pretty nicely..

This could be an actual good show lmao

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.

Nothing speaks of a writer's talent than opening the series with rape because they can't pull an audience in with anything beyond shock value.

A very good start for this anime adaptation. The animation seems smooth as hell, but I'll wait until a real fight scene to be sure.
Biggest surprise is still the opening: I thought I was turning insane when I recognized Pellek's voice! Can't believe he did an anime opening, after all his anime covers!

It was in prologue in LN, but whatever. It's pointless to argue with butthurt prudes, especially when they are being so obviously ridiculous.

This anime is based on LN which is based on WN which was published for free by some guy who wrote it in his free time. It was successful because people liked it. 9 volumes of LN are published, same for manga and now there is anime. All this stuff is licensed and being published in English. It says about writer's talent much more than the opening scene.

Sasuga Ain What do you mean its getting old?

Whatever, the rape scene didn't really catch much of my attention. Even after it, I would expect some degree of trauma but I couldn't find any. As for the story, its basic with a twist but pretty fun.
I found its weird that he's able to drink and eat though that might be my biases from Overlord carrying over. Him not feeling any guilt was pretty interesting at least though I prefer it when the MC detaches due to his past rather than RPG reasons.

Use of CGI was pretty good. OP and ED are above average.

Lol, they just had to start with an attempted rape scene. The best way to introduce a new character -- let him be a knight in white shining armour. This time literally.

So, that's basically a comedy version of Overlord vol.2. Okaay.

Well, MC is so stupid and retarded that it's actually quite funny. Usually we get either edge-lords or hentai-idiots, so now it's something new and that's nice.

But all in all it's a pretty mediocre isekai and knowing that most lns become worse after the first volume or the first few, it's really not a great sign. 6/10. Hope it gets better at least in terms of a comedy. Oh! And while I'm perfectly fine with rape plotlines as a way to advance story, gotta say the opening scene was pretty lame and unnecessary. Bad writing in its prime.
