I couldn't find anything positive , the whole Script was off putting. Doesn't really matter how good the Plot is, i already jumped off the Ship. Also i do not like the MC and his VA. And the CGI was horrible to say the least. White Fox might have a minor part in it It's a collaboration with Asread, so maybe it's like 80% Asread and just 20% White Fox, or so WF is not a studio that would need the help of another one, so it's probably mostly Asread's project Correct. Be aware that this first episode and the OP was produced by Asread. There will be just some episodes outsourced to White Fox. This is exactly the same thing than GochiUsa S2 (produced by Kinema Citrus). Anyway, that was bad but the director have a good sense of aesthetics imo. |
AdrianRubinsky said: Jesus Christ! This anime is competing with Maou sama Retry as the dumpster fire of the season. The writing of this episode is a complete mess! Flashbacks are used to an extreme that made the whole thing a complete nonsense! Pass Lol Maou sama Retry wasn't nearly as bad as Arifureta imo. |
| Guess no matter which world you're in there's always something more powerful than you in the food chain. Careless bravado always leads to traps being triggered huh. Despite how the rest of the class treats him the mc's attempt to buy time was admirable. Hajime's transformation from a kind gentle person to one thats only determined to survive while abrupt was quite interesting. To think that consuming monster meat would allow him to gain some new skills though. While the stat increases were impressive even more so was the appraisal skill which when combined with his intelligence allowed him to really create a new image for himself. An interesting opening ep that while showing just how scary this new world can be also showed well how Hajime went from being a default nice guy to someone thats determined to survive no matter what he has to do to achieve it. |

| Tell me, HOW CAN MAL give this ABOMINATION of the first episode an 8? Is Mal REALLY that tasteless? The execution and presentation of the anime is TERRIBLE. The way they mesh in 4 different timeline randomly when they try to explain something is such an atrocious way of telling story , and easily break all immersion. It's hard to care about ANYONE in the show due to the way the timeline and flashback is layed out. The production value is absolute trash with jarring immersion breaking cheap CGI monsters. The voice acting of mc is trash since the beginning. I can't get the emotion out of him, be it fear/ pain/ terror/ struggle. All of them seem SO FAKE due to how bad the voice acting is. And because of the way the plot is layed out, it's hard to care about mc at all despite his suffering. The source is already not good due to bad writing and very generic premise (cheap betrayal, mc being mistreated cuz he's weakest, but then he has this one gimmick that makes him strongest, etc). The anime somehow manage to make it 10 times worse, which is really something. |

Mythologically said: Always fun to see idiots get pissed off because boring shit got cut out of their favorite LN lol. Pretty great episode. Surprised the second season of Shield Hero came out this quickly. Always great to see how tasteless Mal audience can be. They don't know how pacing works, they don't know how character buildup works, they don't know how to tell an emotional story that layout a contrast between the normal and the despair. All they care about is some brain-dead action that has no substances in it. Also thanks for reminding another trash isekai that're at the same level, but somehow has a better first episode. |
| I like the revolver so I'll stay. (I know, most dumb reason to watch an anime, ever xD) |
| I have mixed feelings about this to be honest. I thought it had some really awesome elements (like Nagumo's transformation, the horrific beginning scenes & he's increasingly sadistic personality) but it also had some really awful elements (the CGI monsters, the animation and the general telling of the story). Despite the bad stuff, it's piqued my interest... |
 |
| That was so disappoiting... Bad animation, bad cgi and bad writing. I'll still watch it though. The MC looks like Accelerator but with a bad voice acting. |
 |
| holy fuck! i was expecting trash and i got what i expected and a bonus spit on my dignity, thats the same caliber of belle delphine selling used bath water shit. tbh, i'm amazed of how this anime managed to be wrost then i expected despite my expectations being low af, i'm not happy. the characters are generic af, mc is basicly a generic kirito that isn't poweful for a change and suddenly bam! he get a ptsd and somehow decide to eat monsters which apparently make him stronger and he get their abilities, wow! how didn't anyone else in that fucking world notice this? i honestly can't name one good thing about this show so far, its a fucking atrocity. tldr: the characters are boring steriotypes, mc is the same and after ptsd he become the guy from angels of death but with kaneki's hair, the directing feels like it was done by a 5 years old child, the animation is shit,story is rushed af and my god! that cg is almost as bad as black clover's diamond monster. overall, i don't recommend this shit to anyone but i'll keep watching it untill i can no longer handle torturing myself. |
 |
| Welp, that fucking sucked... They couldn't have butchered this first ep more than they did. I don't think this is watchable unless you've read the LN or Manga cuz they didn't even explained how they got there. And it's not like I fucking love the source material or anything, I think it's decent but still disappointed |
 |
| Wow, the hate from manga readers is off the charts. I actually liked the first episode |
 |
| Great. I laughed for the entire episode! Wait. They are serious? Like, this is not supposed to be funny? |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| The only reason I liked this episode was because of the MC becoming crazier and crazier as time goes on. lol |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |

| I expected another shield hero, but only obtained a Kaneki with another rushed and chaotic adaptation. After finishing the episode I saw the first chapter the manga, it seems that they could not wait to show the "intense" parts and the MC already being overpowered, removing all the introduction of him in his home world, and his friends bah! as if that were an important factor, nah only matters to see how the protagonist suffers a huge injustice to have sympathy with the public and then can be all a badass and OP, but even that is a mediocre execution they jump immediately to the climax of their tragedy without first showing how boring and personalityless it was before, although well if it was another "faithful" adaptation the first episode would be full of infodump of a duration of 40 minutes like tate no yuusha although in any case the both protagonist is still bland and entirely passive. I do not say who is worse because both have an very bad writing based, all premise and "original plot twist" based in a lie, the story is nonsense, the characters only exist to fulfill a role and they adjust when the plot requires it, all the mechanics of Video games feel out of place like the status screens, levels and skills. And of course the lesson and message of all this work in the story is the worse thing, since the only thing the author wants to tell is "how he would take revenge on all those people who treated him badly in his real life", and how he giving all the necessary powers to his protagonist so that his selfish mission is easy. |
| I wasn't excpecting a good adaptation, but I still got disappointed |
 |
| Looked rather cheap, but interesting nonetheless. Hopefully it keeps at least current level. |

Actually, he actually did read it in a book (he really read alot of books while he was there) that they actually died trying to eat monster corpses. He just forgot about it because he was too hungry. The only reason he survived is because he drank that special water. not sure if i forgot seeying that or if it was butchered. thanks for explaining anyway. |
|
| I think its missing the Comedy tag cause this was laughably bad. im still gonna watch it just to give it a "proper" rating when its over. |
| "However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction" Yeah, all of these were skipped entirely and we saw nothing of it First episode really was quite a mess I've been looking forward to this anime a lot, I hope the rest of the episodes won't be like this :/ |

He just forgot about it because he was too hungry. The only reason he survived is because he drank that special water. Everyone already said what I wanted to say about this. Way too rushed, would've been better if the episode would've been longer, show that they we're actually isekai'd away (The whole class), meeting with the summoner and king, having them explained about the world and the stat system. Have them find out about their stats/class and about how shitty that of Hajime is, which results in them bullying him even more. Then going for them exploring their first dungeon, have the trap happen and end it with the cliff hanger of him falling down after getting hit by his jealous classmate that likes Kaori. I'm agree. My imagination about the adaptation when I first read the novel years ago: Episode 1 - from the prologue to Hajime falls into the abyss. Episode 2 - Hajime try to survive the abyss to meet Yue. Episode 3 - Hajime and Yue explores the abyss to fighting Hydra (which end with a cliffhanger where Yue thought Hajime died). Episode 4 - Continuation of the fight to the end of volume 1. But now they disappoint me with this anime. This is a problem in alot of isekai's, they rush the introductory episode usually so they can get to secondary protagonists, this one did seem a bit excessive though. Hopefully they slow it down but we'll have to wait and see next week, really hope they don't turn this into another one of those blazing paced isekai's, since this one is fairly unique. As for my thoughts on the episode, of what i know about the first few chapters, i'm not surprised they skipped alot of it (it's kind of fluff compared to the rest of the series, and kind of might give you the wrong idea about the series) but even then it seemed a bit too fast paced for it's own good , and sidestepped some of the world building (which to be fair, can be done similarly to a flashback if need be, but i doubt they will do that). I really hope they slow it down though, this isekai deserves a good adaptation. |
| I saw around the first four minutes. I thought "oh, I've got half an hour, let's watch this thing" but got tired super quick. Although, looking at everyone else's comments, I guess I didn't miss much. I have a massive headache right now and I need sleep |
| I liked the episode, aside from the million flashbacks that didnt make sense and the fact that he is like kirito in the first half to naofumi in the second. But oof I see many manga readers dont approve. that means it will eventually turn into a trainwreck for sure ;v; |

| They just streamed tthat tutorial video, "How to produce a generic isekai for teens, without a budget or creative idea?". Boring. When does the series start? Oh, that was the series? Oh boy, here comes the next drop. *plonk* |
