| Decent improvement. Can't imagine a good story with 13 episodes though. |
| Better than the first episode, but I still got the feeling that we have a lack of background here... the synopsis written on MAL helps to gather some intel about this world and clearly shows that things were not introduced as they should have been. I mean, this is the 2nd episode and we still can't see a shit of isekai genre, despite the - I quote - "is summoned to a fantasy world!" from the synop'. It doesn't look that bad, but the show was so poorly brought to the simple viewers (aka not manga readers, not synopsis/wiki readers, etc). |
 |
| At least it hits the average mark of today's standard. Noticeable improvement than half-baked first episode is a good sign. Is there any changes in staff or anything else, I wonder? I can't help but find Yue to be cute here, so I will wait how their interaction would be. |
 |
| god I wish this wouldnt be so low budget and quality |
 |
| Well,honestly that was an improvement on the first episode.Also,I really liked the music when he entered the room with Yue in.Also liked the effects and animation when he freed her,that was quite nice,though on a whole,the animation was a bit lacklustre. Now,if only they had put all that flashback crap in the first episode,maybe it would have flowed smoother and not been the trainwreck that it is so far. Oh well,I'll keep going to see if it gets better. |
 |
| Better than last week's episode that's for sure. This could become watchable but I can really do without the MC eating monsters like a human Pac-man every 5 mins. |
| This was better than the first episode. I'll keep watching. |
 |
| An improvement to the already ok first episode. At least they explain why the people got transported to the fantasy world. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
mgtwan said: MomoSinX said: Correct me if I am wrong but they found the giant dino thing on floor 65, and the MC is only going down since he fell..so how is Yue on floor 50? This will be explained in the 3rd or 4th episode when Hajime and Yue finishes the last floor. But I'll just explain it anyway: Oculs's dungeon has actually 200 floors instead of 100. He somehow bypassed the 100th floor's secret door and entered floor 1 of the 2nd part of the dungeon. So Yue is actually on floor 150. Ah, thanks, I am just super blind/deaf then, the Abyss was indeed mentioned so it makes sense. |
| A improvement from episode 1, I can do without a edgy protagonist but Hajime seems okay I guess. I have no idea how this anime is gonna recover from that rating drop into the rankings of the #7000s but let's see how it turns out. |

RebelPanda said: Looks like this will be another forgettable isekai rather than a so-bad-its-good ironic comedy. Shame. Oh yeah, that would be better, as a novel reader, Arifureta is a famous one for being bad, it was so unforgettable that it's became a prime example of bad writing. |
 |
| I wonder how long people are going to blame the adaption before they realize, maybe, just maybe, the source wasn't all that great either. Overlord's adaptions were shit, and most people still enjoyed the majority of them. This is just another chuuni, edgy isekai a la ReMonster. |
 |
| Isekai-kun finds bootleg Shinobu at the bottom of some dungeon or whatever. Also, OW THE EDGE: |
| Lmao, as expected this episode is as terrible as the last. This director really has no idea of how to properly tell a story. We got a whole bunch of flashback this episode that could have been told in episode 1, but instead we got this jumble mess of flashback from random point of timeline whenever the director feel like putting it in. If they bother to do those in order from get go, they don't have to waste so many time on those flashback. Or are those flashback only use as a mean to save budget ? I guess this is most likely the case. Also those slideshows combat scene is just hilariously bad. The actual combat that has animation is equally as bad too. The cyclops fight is as hilarious as fighting that bear. Also a seal so strong that can imprison a vampire that has enough magic power to blow up a kingdom, can easily be broken by mc's alchemist power. Yeah right, "normal class" my ass. |

The execution and presentation and direction and art is at least 10 times better. Why do you think I said that? I read the manga, and while it's not "as bad" as the anime, it's pretty damn bad. It's hard for a manga to be worse than an adaption that does everything the manga & ln did wrong with awful animation, mediocre VA and fragmented story telling to boot. Fragmenting an already shit story, with middling art doesn't really change much to me in the scale of "how bad" a given series is. |

dim100 said: Action scene decent, some explanatives, I hope they aren't gonna make flashbacks constant thing. Anyhow much better than 1st episode hopefully rating improves. Action scene "decent" (laugh in corner) Slideshow, hilarious and super poor animation with laughable execution and art in the Cyclops fight. OPM S2 looks like a masterpiece if you compare to the animation of this ep2. |

Reven-of-death said: That's what I was actually expecting from the adaptation, a fine work that could be watched with no need to rip your eyes off, yep this episode mange to raise the anime from 2/10 to 6/10 hope it get better by the time. HAHAHAHHAHAA, Mal.. No wonder people say Mal has shit taste and weird marking standard. This joke of an episode, because it's better than episode 1, yeahhh gotta raise it to a 6 because it is watchable now. Ok then. |
Ventus_SJul 15, 2019 5:46 PM
| This series, not just anime, is a literal shit. I went to look into the novels and thought to see some nice story that the LN readers was so disappointed about and now I’m way more disappointed. The fuck kind of edgy harem shit is this, even Smartphone harem makes more sense than this. |
elementex said: much better storytelling and pacing, this will definitely be a standout for this season Mal lolz... Sigh, I don't wanna repeat my words anymore. There're so many extremely well directed, well animated show with either high quality combat, storytelling, visual, or music. Then we have Mal users here believing this is a standout just because episode 2 is comparatively better than episode 1 (from 0/10 -> 1/10) |
| This was not a good episode, it was average, but compared to the first one it was very good, lol. At least we learned things that should've been included in episode 1. Although still I have no idea why they need to go down that Labirynth or whatever it is. And yeah, after the previous episode I planned to drop this show and dropped it for a couple of days, but I decided to give it a chance. I don't regret it, to be honest. It's not a piece of special anime or something, but if it's gonna be better and better and if it's gonna explain some basic elements of this world (like why them people got there to fight, what is their quest etc.), then it can be pretty fine. Or at least not so painful to watch. For now, though, this show deserved low score and I'm surprised it has over 6.00/10.00 score now, lol. |

The execution and presentation and direction and art is at least 10 times better. You can’t make shit any better, even in anime. I read the LN and it’s shit, it’s not just about execution of this shit anime, but the source itself is shittier than this anime. I can’t believe anyone recommending to read this trashy series’ manga. It’s an edgelord edge edgy series with harem pasted all over it. Even Smartphone harem looks better than this. It’s even worse that you’re recommending it when you also know the source is shit. |

| I mean this episode was way better then the first but it's still a pretty shitty anime overall. I am curious about an uprising against the Vampires or Demons when the time comes but as of now it's just whatever. Also Kaori is annoying AF and Shizuku is best girl atm. |

| The second ep picked up all of the background story they missed on the first ep. Not bad. I still feel like Yue's voice doesn't match her personality. I think there are better VAs for her. Need better BGMs. |
 |
| Jesus f'n Christ. This anime is just straight GARBAGE. I'm so disappointed that one of my favorite series is getting butchered to this extent. The animation is definitely cringe in a lot of places thus far (misshaped faces and expressions galore), and they don't even try to explain any of the story and just rush through every single aspect of the original material. We don't get any details or introspection on Hajime and the other characters thoughts about various circumstances, situations, and anything that could be remotely considered interesting and add to the story. Instead it's a rush job of epic proportions. Please for the love of god, read the light novel (or web novel) instead. |

| a blond "loli" vampire?! that's new and original, never seen anything like it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| People seem put off with flashbacks in stories, like they always need it to be linear or it makes them wanna cry lol. Definitely more enjoyable than the first episode, interested to see where the show goes. |

Swizze said: People seem put off with flashbacks in stories, like they always need it to be linear or it makes them wanna cry lol. Actually, people are mad because there was no reason to mess up the order of the flashbacks since not only did it not add to the story, the order was chronological in the original source material. |

So they changed the order a bit, wouldn't people be more mad if they changed the story from the source material? If it's just the order of the same story being told in a slightly different order I don't see why the fuss then. |
|
| Average MAL user logic: "since this ep was better that ep 1 the serie is automatically good". At this rate they will call it "the best isekai" or "a decent one among the rest" in a couple of weeks... as they were doing before the anime started airing. WantiPop said: a blond "loli" vampire?! that's new and original, never seen anything like it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) And wait to see how she's going to be called "best waifu" just because she's a nymphomaniac who rapes MC. |

OPM S2 looks like a masterpiece if you compare to the animation of this ep2. I think your standards a bit high then, decent doesn't mean high tier animation, the slide show fights aside, can't say OPM Season 2 did much better comparing the cyclops fight, either the fights fall under decent because their quality is the average of the industry, which is sadly just at this level for 7/10 of the animes that air. Now if I'm wrong tell me the many other anime's that have your "decent" which should be half of the animes airing this season so I can start watching them, because I'm learning to live with my "decent." Again not saying this anime is best of season, but gonna see if it improves from its already terrible start. |
| oh my vampire blonde loli hypee I need more |
 |
| The pacing and storytelling has actually improved in comparison with the first episode, but it's too late at least for me. I cannot feel empathy for our main guy. I'll watch the next episode not as the story of a weak and bullied high schooler transported to another world, but instead as the story of someone who always has been a bad-ass looking for revenge, maybe if I think that way I won't dropp it for now. |
| 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!  |
| 00:01 "Bottom of the Abyss" Well, that's actually isn't Made in Abyss |

If it's just the order of the same story being told in a slightly different order I don't see why the fuss then. Just because it still follows the story but in a different order doesn't mean it's perfect. From what I've heard, the Monogatari series tells events out of order but that's how the story is supposed to be told. However, this show is jumping from place to place and starting in places where it shouldn't start in the first place. They haven't even shown the beginning of when they were Isekai'd except in the opening for ~1 second long. I reccomend watching Digibro's part 1 and 2 on this show as to why it was a train wreck, he nails it. I didn't say it was perfect, I'm just saying surely it's still better than them changing the story altogether. Perhaps if I read the source material I'd be mad as well but I haven't. At the moment I know it's far from a decent series, but I don't think it's been terrible either. |
