Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu 2nd Season Episode 17 Discussion

they just stood there watching the purple coats get slaughtered despite having the power to stop that monster in 2 seconds. He's also very nonchalant about having 50 monsters rampaging in the city. MC basically only cares about people close to him and didn't think much of everyone else, it's something else i guess

As much as I like this show for it's simplicity as a power scaling fantasy filled with waifus, I can't deny how atrocious this particular episode was in almost every aspect.

Iruma transforming into a monstruosity, and also other citizens doing rhe same out in the city, but for some reason long expo dumps are happening in the mean time by Makoto and friends. It almost feels like if it was a videogame paused so that the people playing it can just banter with each other. There's also the lack of urgency on taking defensive measures, Makoto and co were so laxed that at some point I was almost expecting them to be carrying a huge bucket of popcorn while they kept narrating the event while doing nothing about it. I can understand that Makoto needs to keep himself low profile in the city, but this is almost absurd.

Then there's the audience and other students that ran away without even trying to unleash all their skills. This is an academy where they learned magic (even if it's way weaker than any of Makoto's friends). I feel that even at least a couple of students and whatever kind of academy hosts supervising the event would have had the volition to jump into the fray before the alleged elite defense showed up.

Then there's the tonal dissonance with Makoto and co making quick jokes about historical dramas while people where being maimed and eaten alive by monster Iruma.

I just hope this arc gets a quick end and we can get back to either the harmless magical shenanigans, or the more serious crusade of Hibiki and others. But for the love of god, don't combine cheap comedy with what's supposed to be gruesome fighting.

@Arsteel16 He does not care about humans in general because they didn't treat him well + because of the goddess. Technically, he is indifferent about humans and demi-humans and only cares about his people who live in demi-space. Also, he said it is to early to act because he still wants to establish relationships with demons and wants to rebuild that country -- forgot its name --. This is why he asked Luria and Eva about their answers; both of them mentioned that they have no connection to this city and do not care much about what happens to him.

The MC probably to wait before saving the city so that people will recognize and appreciate him. Also, if he does not intervene he will still be able to proceed with his plans to work with demons.

Either ways, he does not care about humans and he is willing to kill humans who stand in his ways or harm his followers.

MC just let hundreds of humans die for no reason. And yes he said he does not like the humans much, but the current character work in the anime is in no way grounds for the deranged behavior he is displaying. Braking Bad spent 6 seasons with more runtime mainly on making a character development like this believable.

@Gofun Makoto is really turning into the Goddess he despises so much, given the indifference and callousness he showed this episode. Episode was super disappointing as well, and the adaptation is just simply becoming a let down.

8/10 to 4/10, another case of log horizon.
Show gimped its pacing with shitter side characters.

@Gofun He is not Batman who wants to save people

You should understand that 17 eps ≠ 17 days.

He probably spent years in that world. The MC is not entitled to save humans just because they are humans. His interfering might ruin his plans to cooperate with Demons, and at the same time, humans are so shit that they might not recognize his company even after saving them.

You can say he let hundreds of humans die for no reason, but he also has no reason to save them.

I think you are trying to enforce 'morals' and 'human values' into this. In my opinion it is very simple, he was treated like shit by the goddess and humans, and humans attacked his followers and harmed them (if you remember he killed that female adventurer), so he does not feel inclined to help which is expected.

Appallingly awful episode. Tarnishes the whole show going forward.

MC just stands there while innocent people are eaten alive, his group joking around and not taking it seriously. I get that he is supposed to not like "hyumans" but the show doesn't have the decency to stick to that. He'll still save the pretty girl with the huge knockers he just met from being harassed, but otherwise unknown people from suffering excruciating death is just a big joke apparently. Literally a few people called him ugly so I guess he's just a misanthrope forever. I can't take it seriously after this. Awful MC, both morally and from a storytelling perspective. If you are going to be morally bankrupt you could at least be interesting to watch.

I could forgive this if they really wanted to take MC down the misanthrope villain protagonist but Makoto is really just a worthless do nothing.
