Oh, I see. You didn't like Tensei Shitara, then?
Cause the mc there does start out with pretty busted abilities, but the worldbuilding and introduction of characters and pacing of the story is really good so far.
Even worse, I did not even view a single episode. I had enough of a main page poster, to be honest. This one got a chance, at least.

Not a bad first episode, especially for an isekai show, which tend to not impress me for the most part.

It really sucks that even the other heroes with whom Naofumi should be teaming went along with that ploy to fuck him over. And screw that bitch for making the false accusation in the first place.

Good first impression so far, looking forward to seeing where Naofumi's journey goes from here.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

There seems to be a misunderstanding (based on ignorance), that other heroes are also in the plot of the girl to tarnish the shield hero's reputation - news flash, at least the heroes are not. It is evident by their behaviour, they are merely going on with the flow everyone else is. If anything, the spear hero is giving him the most benefit of the doubt amongst the king's audience (aside that cloaked girl behind the pillars). It is the same when people jumped on Kevin Spacey hate wagon when they heard the accusations first. There was not proof yet, but everyone hated him. Sheeple.

I was expecting at least the blonde dude to be in the betrayal, but wasn't sure. He always talks like he's above others, not really knows if he's serious or not sometimes. The others was just carried on with the flow, and I don't blame them.

I'm glad the MC "changed", have to to tell you, I really don't like the "naive/nicer" MC role, yet it was to be expected this behavior assuming his life and age.

Wasn't that impressive and many elements I already see in other shows and most of them are clichês, even so was fun to watch. MC improved and I hope I cheer for him for the rest of the show instead of hating him like in other shows.

Well you can see the Spear hero trying to stop Naofumi from just leaving, if anything he does not mean him bad and actually believes that trash female.

The only thing that confused me was who was actually in on the backstab and who wasn't?

As far as it was made obvious it was the king, the blonde dude and the chick - but the others seemed genuinely confused?

Felt very generic for the first half... Then, the second half did a complete 180 and was completely pointless for doing so. Also, I hated pretty much every character, outside of the MC.

Why even accuse the MC if literally nothing can be done about it anyway?
That just seemed very stupid to me.

Hopefully episode two is MUCH better. I had really high hopes for this series, but man, the first episode flopped... hard.

Hating every character is pretty normal since everyone is a dick.
Don't you notice the amount of discrimination towards the MC? The false accusing is just the trigger.

It's okay to hate everyone aside MC and armory guy, they are all dicks.

About the rape accusation, yes, there was nothing he could do. You will see why later on, because it's spoiler.

As long as it gets explained, I'll eventually let it slide. I was just very puzzled about what took place. There wasn't any serious type of discipline that could be done, so accusing him just seemed utterly pointless.

This was great, fantastic start.

Wait a second, the MC was transported to another world without dying? What is this newfound blasphemy? xD

I like the premise, sounds interesting and I guess the game like mechanics were to be expected.

I knew it, I knew from the very start, the moment that girl joined him, I knew she was plotting to rob him of everything. I was just wondering when she would do it, to think that she'd go with such underhanded methods. I first liked Motoyasu, but if he actually plotted this with the girl like Naofumi suspects then he's dead to me. I don't know about the other two but if they were in on this as well then they're dead to me as well.
I totally felt Naofumi's sentiment at the point he realized everything, if those guy were out to bring him down like this then he has zero obligation to fight for them. He could leave them all for dead for all he cares. Unfortunately the only way back for him is with the others so now he has no choice. That said, Naofumi got played a little too easily, he should've been more cautious but I guess I can understand why he let his guard down after being treated as the 'hero'.

I also kinda feel bad for Naofumi who's grown cold, to the point he find buying a slave much more appealing that trying to find actual companions but I suppose this will make his growth a lot more endearing to watch. Great setup so far, I'm excited to see more and I can't wait for the moment where Naofumi shows the rest of the world who's boss. It's gonna be so damn satisfying.

Is episode 1 supposed to be 45 minutes long, as I just started it on gogoanime as Crunchyroll doesn't have it yet
Kyon: Hey. It's me. We meet again. [Thinking] So it really was you.
Yuki: What are you doing out here? And why?
Kyon: [Aloud] Funny. I was just about to ask you the same exact thing
[Yuki struggles to look for an answer.]
Yuki: A...walk?
Kyon: [Thinking] That's not true. That's not true, Nagato. You were tired. You'd had enough of Haruhi's nonsense. Getting dragged all over the place. You were tired of protecting me. And you were tired of whatever else you had to do. Stuff we didn't even know about. The fatigue from all those things just kept building up.

Why u always have that negative mind towards Isekai this is definitely not a Harem well, I guess u gotta see that yourself to believe it though.

I just hope that u don't drop it early on

Bright eyed, naive twat turned into dead eyed, pragmatic asshole by the realisation what dicks most people are? And he buys himself a slave because they can't betray you? Nice, that's my kind of protagonist. I just hope it will have 24+ episodes, so it doesn't turn into rushed butcher's jobs hacking away most of the character development. Game isekai are usually garbage with awful world building but hopefully non standard MC will make up for that.

On a side note, if the source material wasn't 5 years old, I would think the whole cunt betrayal matter could be a metoo commentary...

You should probably know this before reading the rest but the first episode is good and you should totally watch it. It had the storyline going in the right direction, good animation, and good soundtrack. However, for a 40 minute episode they really dragged out the information that they could of given in 20 minutes. To be exact, this 40 minute episode only covered the first 2 chapters of the manga and that’s it. The pacing of the anime from just seeing the first episode is really slow. I’m hoping it picks up more. They could of done much more in this episode. For what it is though, it is good still.

WOW...definitely worth the hype levels that have been building up for the past few months.

MC isekai-ed just like Rimuru, but the obvious change was the hero turned anti-hero turned lone wolf hero.

That long 45 minute duration was a near perfect premiere episode to capitalize on the premise of Naoyuki Iwatani being the centre of the whole series.

Definitely one of the best isekai stories to date although setting is still generic, but hopefully things will take shape soon! Really can't wait to re-watch the official subs to come.
