| this was delayed for more than a year and even that was not done good lol There is not much more to comment I think the only good thing was the opening. |
| My god, that was terrible. One of the worst adaptations I ever saw. |
| Probably one of the worst introduction episodes I have seen. Felt all over the place and just seemed like we got dropped in the middle of the story. CGI is atrocious, like even Fairy Gone did a better job at that. Also, Kaneki, is that you? I guess I'll watch another few episodes before I'll decide what to do with this. Not a great start. |
 |
| truly one of the most awful isekai anime I've ever seen. It's amazing that they've managed to create something this terrible. bravo! |

M4RCEL0 said: paveltk said: EP1 can be watched at kickassanime. First episode is kinda meh. This anime was my last hope for summer season, but it's trash. CGI is awful. OP and ED is bad. All hope is gone. Have you not watched Kanata no Astra, Nakanohito Genome [Jikkyouchuu] or Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo? Kanata no Astra is specially promising. I wasn't expecting much for this anime, but damn it, this was bad, the OP song really is the only good thing about it. Apart from what everyone else already commented on, I found the MC's sudden change of personality very unsettling: first he's a Lvl.2 beta boy just like the synopsis told us, then, out of a life threatening experience, he becomes Lvl. 8 alpha Chad and, without even breaking a sweat, he defeats monsters that supposedly are too hard for even a full raid party like the one he was in to defeat. There might be some explanation to this later and I haven't read the LN or the manga to know, but did he create a super strong gun and bullets out of some raw minerals and the ability to identify them? I mean, without any skill related to it, tools or experience he just made some legendary gun in what looked like, until then, a medieval world. And what's worse, the "cool name" he gave it is "Gunner", which sounds even worse in Japanese. nightcrawlercyp said: Very good episode. One think I do not get though: why didn't the holy water regenerate his arm? Does anyone know? I also wonder about this, it looked like he was gonna get it back at any moment, because he still felt it even though it had been eaten. What I expect is that it'll grow back in time, since it's not a small wound and "the holy water heals everything". Yeah there're actually surprisingly plentiful of promising show that could be contender of aoty this season. Vinland Saga, Enen no Shouboutai, Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo, Kanata no Astra, and Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note all look super promising with very high production value and awesome plot direction.

| It felt like I'd started an episode half way through. Loved the way he lost an arm but virtually no blood. I have a suspicion this will be garbage. The direction was all over the place and at times it was so dark I couldn't tell what was going on. Ventus_S said: GangsterCat said: truly one of the most awful isekai anime I've ever seen.

| H O~L Y~ JESUS WHAT IS THAT? WHAT THE F IS THAT?! wow this was so garbage :D this 1 episode didn't make any sense, wow manga is compared to this godlike :D |
 |
| I've no clue why they even delayed this for a year. Now I'm curious about how bad it was in its previous version. |
| Pacing was fine, just have to get used to the anime design. Next ep best girl hype |

| Looks nice,I'm really hyped about this series.Nice MC (eccentric).Imo he's kinda too short for his design and his dialogs are kinda... weird? Although voice actor's bad fit to him I've hope that they will not ruin it :D |

elementex said: danyeager said: the execution matters a lot. there is a reason why berserk 2016/2017 and opm season 2 are hated , no matter how good the story is. Well opm has no story it was always just a visual spectacle even in season 1, don't know anything about berserk but if an adaptation was enough to make people hate it then the story must not have been all that to begin with. no its cause of the terrible animation(cgi in berserk's case). nothing here to do with the story also i havent got into berserk either but I doubt it would be rated #1 manga if the plot was bad |
|
| Yooooo what was this. Awful animation, writing and direction right here. I mean, I don’t know anything about the source, so for me the pacing was fine. But ugggghh, everything else was garbage Disappointed but not surprised. Probably one of the worst episodes I’ve ever watched in anime |
XenocrisiJul 8, 2019 3:57 PM
| How should I put into words...? Imagine Anime getting LiveAction drama/movie Now, LN getting ANIME adaptation... I kinda feel the same...execution does matter. The LN started with backstory from the previous world first, then how they learn about their own stats and class once they're summoned. The anime just start out of nowhere. MC already appeared to be dropped in the abyss of the dungeon. I guess they rushing it since it's 12~13 eps series. Ayy...it's still okay to watch tho. All anime adaption always feel like this anyway. So I'm too not picky anymore and finish any series I started. |

| This was fucking hilarious. I don't know if I am just more critical of isekais after coming off of Shield Hero, but this was just terrible. Considering the fact that as I am writing this, Reddit is giving it this episode a score of 4.31, something tells me I'm not alone. Where do I even begin? Shield Hero: "our spells are the most insanely convoluted, complicated, and unnecessarily long" OP was alright. Didn't care much for it. His arm falling off looked awful. Not sure why he coughed up blood, because that only happens when you suffer internal organ damage. He just had his arm chopped off. The Transmute CG looked terrible. Ah yes, my favorite trope from anime: Explaining something in a complicated manner instead of showing us with actual talent and storytelling prowess. If the water can heal any injury, why can't it heal his arm? Glad to see this isekai has dumb side characters too. How in the everliving fuck is anime CG fucking regressing? That monster was horrific. That was literally some of the worst CG I have seen all year. The script is so weird. Why is he saying die over and over again? Not sure why the captain attacked him (can't figure out the motive, but MAYBE it makes sense with context). Quite the personality change. The anime handled his hair changing color so terribly it is hilarious. His character bio says the following: Arifureta: "lol" Due to the stress of breaking and healing, his hair turned white, a victim of the Marie Antoinette syndrome. His eyes also turned red and his body gained tattoo-like red lines which is the sign of him becoming a demonic monster similar to the monsters he ate that also possessed red lines along their bodies. Does the anime explain this? No, it just happens. I'll give the show the suspension of disbelief when it comes to him knowing how to construct a working revolver from rocks. There a reason he named it Donner? The bear died too easily, but whatever. Guess this isekai also needs a naked loli too. Not even surprised.An interesting concept completely shafted by a shit pilot. What a shitshow. Not holding much hope for it to get better, but I'll stick with it so I can at least join in on the discussion threads. |
| Wow I expected this to be bad after reading some of the whinging comments from people about it jumping over the place and voice actor. But it didn't bother me at all, was an interesting first episode and that gun was badass! |
 |
| It's funny how some people are blaming adaptation as if source material were a kind of masterpiece when actually is not much better lol. And it's even more funny how a lot of the fanbase claimed that the first arc is the best part and from that point the serie goes downhill... I don't want to imagine how horrible this will get then (actually I do want lol) Ventus_S said: Tell me, HOW CAN MAL give this ABOMINATION of the first episode an 8? Is Mal REALLY that tasteless? Well, what can you expect from the same kind of people that have Oregairu, Re:Zero and Shield Hero as high quality standard? |
| Not a bad start. Have seen anime with better first episode. As for the plotline, I'll have to wait and see how the anime progresses. Gave it a 5/5 because there was pretty good animation and the first episode got my attention. Let's see if I'll continue this anime or drop it. |
| Have been reading Web Novel for a year now, and I have a mixed feeling about this episode. Just wtf is up with the pacing? It feels awkward and rushed. Did they seriously just cut the part when those student got transfer into another world!? And there are also alot of think happened before that but they just go "fuck it" and get right into the action. I'm a little concern about this show but everything that happened after this part is pretty good so just bare with me.  |
| 8.10?????????????? Why do people think this is good. This is Isekai Smartphone level trash. is this how people who've read the source material feel?! It completely ruined and rushed the part from where he enters the world to when he enters the cave/etc. This show should be at least 2 cours, it would be so much better! I love isekai, but this is shit so far. |
| woah there |
| Wait, how did this pile of dirt get 8.10 score??? Maybe it will get better, but based on this episode alone, it should be around 5 at most... |

Damn,so much was missed out of this that it doesn't even feel like Arifureta,let alone look like it.I got none of the reasons why they were in this other world,let alone the damn Labyrinth.None of Hajime's feelings of despair and abandonment that lead up to why he becomes what he does,or why a certain student hates him so much. This should have had an hour long first episode,or a prelude ep to lead into it,as it stands its gonna be a 3 from me,and thats one of the lowest scores I've ever given an Isekai,let alone an anime. |

No its not this is horrible the light novel started when he and his classmates was summon to another world you got to meet everyone in his class the good and the bad you got information on every main person status and ability they even went on many training missions.What I feel happen the people who adapted the novel wanted to get to the good part fast,they skip like about six chapters and insert it as flashbacks RIDICULOUS.I am not saying that the book is better or a masterpiece but what they did to this story is wrong all the they had to do was adapt a simple story from volume 1 ,simple as that.I for one learn my lesson I will read my isekai and not get overly excited over a adaptation.

So true they destroy the emotion that you suppose to feel when he ended up in that situation they chop up most of the first volume and put it as flashbacks (not in order mind you) to build a feeling of how he came to where he is but it makes no sense why not start from the beginning.I am so disappointed I going back to reading the novel I stopped when he meet up the rabbit girl cause the translation went to shit.

| This first episode felt rushed. We see the guy being betrayed and almost killed thanks to what I can guess is one of his friends/classmates. After a traumatic experience the dude shitf from a weak version of Kirito to an edgy albino kirito. All this would not be much problem if at least we knew how the guy even got into the mess he is and why some of his classmates or whatever they are seem to hate him so much like to try to kill him. If there was not a description of this being an isakai, you would not even be aware of it since there is pretty much nothing of going to another world so far. Still, I don't think it is so horrible as some people are saying it is, maybe is 'cause I haven't read the source material, so not sure how bad is compared to it. |
| what the fuck did i just watch i've never seen an anime with such shitting directing and animation. all those flashbacks disrupts the story flow and the animation is little to none. idk if it's cause of the low budget or what, but some scenes look like copy and paste and most of it is like a powerpoint, moving one image from side to side. how the hell does this have a score of 8.1 i have no fucking clue someone gotta be fucking with me |
| Pretty interesting start, i wonder if it was the captain that tried to kill him or it was everyone. This boy will get OP very fast xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| as someone who has read the first volume of the LN i can safely say this adaptation is going to be fucking dogshit. how is any anime-only going to be able to care about this main character without understanding his circumstances? the novel takes it's time before he is betrayed to show who he is, how he's suffering in this new world/etc. really bad. the directing and animation weren't great either |
 |
| The music was the only good thing about this episode. Opening and Ending were rather good but the episode overall...yikes. "This Holy Water Can Heal All Wounds" Yet my man is STILL MISSING HIS ARM! WHAT?!?! |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Did I missed the 'oshiete oshiete'? I thought the 'Isekai Trash' tittle of the season was reserved for Isekai Cheat Magician or Maou-sama Retry, but Arifureta is a strong contender. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
