| This man is bullshitting his way through his new life and it's working extremely well lmao, sasuga. |
 |
| Wow... so childish and edgy. There wasn't anything interesting in that episode. Even the girls were just kinda there. They will probably shine later on but I don't really care. In the previous episode there was at least suspense, some unique approach, but that was also ruined by the second part of the episode, and it seems the anime never recovers from the ruins, only diving deeper. |
  |
| Still don't get it what makes this show stand out or be any better than your "average isekai". Missed the comedy part too. I may just drop it if episode 3 is similarly plain. |
| Seems like we have another unexpected gem, I'm loving it so far! |
 |
| I feel the story is too fast.. I feel we need an explanation about Cid grow & gaining his powers. and we are introduced to how the MC meets the first female role, and then immediately the MC has got 7 female roles...? wuuut ? I think the time line story is a bit random.??? Is the original story skipped a lot? .... Or is that the real story? IDk ..man.. |
| Mannn I love the art and graphics, I only wish for more comedy, well...I guess better comedy material...sheesh. Regardless I am enjoying this immensely |

| Not really my cup of tea. But I gotta admit it still looks better than some other isekai anime. If the story is good this one will be watchable at least. |
| Ah this ep just confirms it, it's a shitty show where they do nothing but praises the mc endlessly. Visually it looks good but it's all BS. Sigh how disapppointing |
RedChrome said: No, it's parodying those types of isekai, you have to understand the protagonists mindset to get the humor. He's almost certainly autistic, and he has one hyper-focus, to become the "master of shadow". Except, while this borderline psychopath is just role-playing as a master of shadows, he has unwittingly become embroiled in a very real war with an ancient cult, but he thinks his organization is just a group of REALLY dedicated LARP-ers, because after all, he made up all of this bullshit. The show is poking fun of these tropes like harems or being viewed as a genius for no reason, but it's for people who can laugh at these things, not just people who hate isekai outright.

| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Main hero is too cocky with his powers but I like the model agency he united into a private service subdivision. It is still up in the air if I'd watch this series in full. |

Theannoy3rd1 said: There's no such thing as a 1:1 adaptation from a LN, but this part of the story moves along quickly up until Cid is 15. Also, Is this really a faithful 1:1 adaptation, I feel like we missing so many interactions and just more dialogue in all |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
Theannoy3rd1 said: More or less, the only important thing to know moving forward is how much of a psycho Cid is, and that he's fucking clueless about both his own organization, and the evil cult that his lies have unwittingly gotten them all tangled up in. I don't know if the anime is doing him justice, but he's damn entertaining in the LN.LostSpectre said: There's no such thing as a 1:1 adaptation from a LN, but this part of the story moves along quickly up until Cid is 15. So the main story kicks off really when he's 15. And the content before that wasn't much to begin with? |

| Truck-kun needed that first episode, his hiatus in many isekais was noticeable so it was nice to see him getting some work, he's got a family to feed. |

Theannoy3rd1 said: For sure, and check my post on his "origin" story that they skipped in the LN, helps paint more of a picture on this guy. lolLostSpectre said: More or less, the only important thing to know moving forward is how much of a psycho Cid is, and that he's fucking clueless about both his own organization, and the evil cult that his lies have unwittingly gotten them all tangled up in. I don't know if the anime is doing him justice, but he's damn entertaining in the LN. I have noticed how he be killing guys easily with no second thoughts or hesitation. No wonder I see the Ainz comparisons |

| okay this was actually pretty funny. the sister seems like an interesting character, as well. |
 |
| I'm enjoying this a lot. I don't know if this show would classify as edgy, but it makes it work if it does. I'm looking forward to next week. |

Acctra said: I would say that you can call a show edgy if the protagonist revels in gruesomely slaughtering people as part of his live action chuuinbyu fantasies. lolI'm enjoying this a lot.

| I NEED A SISTER LIKE THAT |
| So Cid knows how to use magic really well and make great guesses too huh. The guessing Cid did such as coming up with a story for Alpha and getting lost while rescuing his sister and the main bad guy thinking Cid knew where he was going was amusing. It's a shame the girls might leave him next episode though unless they're messing with him like they're just going on a trip and returning. |
| This the luckiest protagonist in all of anime !! and this is a great anime!! |

No no no sorry I'm not crazy enough to imagine myself to have that stupid delusion.

| Truck-kun never fails to disappoint. Other than that it's painfully average and predictable. |
| For those who haven't caught up with Cid's character, yet. He is basically a chuuni edgelord whose imagination turns out to be true. Hmm, Cult of Diablos? Descendant of Heroes? Yep, they are all Cid's imagination..... which turns out to be true too. So Cid is basically Haruhi. While the show is pretty much Overlord. That's it. That's the comedy. The anime somewhat failed in expressing Cid's irony. |

YosepRA said: Unfortunately, the comedy as of right now isn't really translating. In the LN it's all the extra details, monologues, and inner thoughts that greatly enhance the comedic premise, while in the anime it really does feel like a more typical isekai power fantasy, but with an extra dose of edginess added on. I hope they start taking some cues from the manga in terms of comedy, because that would be a lot easier to implement. For those who haven't caught up with Cid's character, yet.
