| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This seems like a fun little show with its lighthearted humor. I actually find Mile quite adorable. We also meet others like Reina, Pauline, and Mavis. Each of them seem different so the show itself is somewhat colorful with its main cast. Mile apparently is overpowered but she didn't ask to be. Heh, amusing premise. Mavis might be my favorite character out of the main cast so far. |

| Am I crazy or the anime just ignored the light novel? |

| Well if they really butchered the LN opening it at least wasn't as aggrevating as when they did it to Arifureta. Not that that's saying too much mind you |
  |
| I've read only the first 2 books and the first arc is the best so far... Well, like Afureta, I think I'll ignore the anime. |
|
| Seems like a parody of isekai or something like that, this is cool. She was 10x prettier when she was japanese imo and haha obviously isekaied by the famous isekai truck. Her powers triggered by a reflection on her chest --> ultimate laser beam. I'm looking forward for the next episodes, that was good. |
 |
| God damn truck Kun u just had to hit such a gorgeous girl and make her into such a cute loli, not that I'm complaining. Also so much for her average power and life lmao. Anyway not bad for a start, looking forward to the upcoming episodes. |
 |
| EXCUSE ME???? DID THEY ACTUALLY DELETE THE BEST PART OF BOOK 1!?!? |

| Daaaamn, she`s savage!!! Kinda reminds me of the MC from Humanity Has Declined. |
| And there's Truck-kun. Good start. Mile only asked to have average abilities though she ended up being overpowered. Quite amusing. I might read the LN of this. |
 |
| No idea what happened, but it was pretty fun. |
| Lovely another anime with rape fantasies ,, Dropped 1/10 |
 |
| I actually liked how it changes the beginning. I'm not a LN reader but it seems to me to have a lot better pacing than the manga. All the silly jokes also helped making it less a trite expositional episode as generic feel-good isekai anime tend to have. Lets say, comparing to Death March or isekai smartphone, which is similar in terms of feel-good-ness, and you'll see how much better this episode was executed by comparison.) So far it is a 5-6 for me. Will have to see whether it can keeps up with this pacing and silly details. Project No.9 is doing another isekai show this season and it is not a studio known for its fine production, so a drop in the sakuga quality might be expected in a few more episodes later... But let's hope not. |
 |
| Truck-kun receiving the recognition it deserves lmao. The explanation of her "average" powers, poor girl :'D This was pretty fun and I already love Mile, so looking forward to more. |

| Okay. High chances for AOTS. That was great. And these backgrounds and expensive character animation. It looks more like high class Doga Kobo series. Can't wait for more. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Truck-kun is finally getting noticed. The episode was all anime original, but still a decent start to the show imo. It'll probably follow the manga version more than the LN, with the school arc being explained entirely in flashbacks. |

It's just a slice of life series. Isekai has many genres inside it which aren't about a focus on adventure/action. If anything, this is more of a CGDCT |
| I thought that, while it was an original opening, it was a good one. Sure, I would've liked to see the first arc when she was Adele and all her friends at that school, but going from 3-4 episodes in one school to 6-7 episodes in another school, and then wrapping up right where the story really starts to take off would not make a very good anime. So if skipping the first arc (hopefully bringing it in as backstory over time) helps them to include more of their post-school life, that's fine with me. They've done a good job making Mile the OP but ditzy girl she is, I really loved their adaptation of Mavis (whose voice is exactly what I had imagined), and Reina is spot on. I was slightly surprised by Pauline's depiction, not in a bad way, but I'm not sure what about her surprised me. As for Nano-kun, that took me by surprise. I surely wasn't expecting to see a kitty materialize out of thin air. But, hey, it works. Personifying and grouping all the nanos together into one "Nano-kun" will make it easier for those new to the story to understand their role in the story. Of course, there's nothing "nano" about this Nano-kun though. Overall, I think it was really a very good opening to the series. It's impossible to please everyone, of course, and I'm sure they were aware that cutting the first arc would be met with disappointment, but I really do think the series as a whole would suffer if they had included two school arcs back to back. HaXXspetten said: Well if they really butchered the LN opening it at least wasn't as aggrevating as when they did it to Arifureta. Not that that's saying too much mind you For sure. Pretty much any work of prose has to have things changed to work in a visual medium like anime because the way stories are told is completely different from one to the other. And compared to Arifureta, well, there's not really any comparison. I'm caught up with both of the light novels, and the first ep of Abilities is far and away better than the first ep of Arifureta. Yuri-Crusader said: Lovely another anime with rape fantasies ,, Dropped 1/10 That's a shame, @Yuri-Crusader. That was a completely anime original scene less than 30 seconds. After reading 7 volumes of the light novel, I can tell you that (best as I recall) it has zero rape fantasy. I can't say whether they'll add more in the adaptation, but the cast is essentially these 4 girls doing adventury/Hunter girl things, with extremely little (if any) element of sexuality. Other than comments about chest size. I'm caught up with both this and Potions (by the same author, FUNA-sensei), and it's just a guess, but I think FUNA-sensei probably would be upset about them adding more than what they have, as the light novel stays quite far away from rape and loli territory. (Before anyone responds: Yes, the story is about young girls, but there's a difference between a young girl and a loli.) |

| Hmm a hunter novice from the get go huh interesting concept. Still despite her aspirations its nice to see Mile's innocent nature during her exploration of the capital. Seems Truck San has quite the important role in series in which he's featured in. Mile sure has quite a good variety of magic types that she can call upon. Miles remarks about events though sure were amusing. So Pauline had them take her hostage too so as to allow her to take care of the children huh. Interesting plan. Damm thats one hell of a hairstyle the boss has there. The boss though has to be the weirdest one i ever seen in a anime. Its good that Lenny was fine though. Still to think that the friends that she made and was trying to avoid are now her classmates looks like Miles life is gonna get more interesting. Overall an interesting first ep that did well in introducing the main cast as well as how powerful Mile's abilities are despite her wishes to be average. Of the group after Miles Reina has to be the most interesting. From this ep it seems that it will be a balance between light hearted humour and action and story a direction that if balanced correctly will ensure this series does well. |

| I've seen many butchered adaptations, but judging by this dumpster fire of an episode, No.9 is aiming for the top. A humorless, witless husk of what was one of a handful of genuinely interesting isekais. |
 |
| This isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I did like some of the humor, and how self-conscious the anime is of the tropes it's following. In a way, the MC did get "average" powers, the median average, not the mean average she probably had in mind. ^^; |
| I like the comedy and the art here looks nice. It seems this anime won't be a serious one and i'm fine with that. |
 |
| tfw there are more isekai parodies than actual (serious) isekai this season. Didn't really like this one as well, looks like cute girls doing cute things in another world |
| Kinda cringy ngl... But i've seen worse so i'm pretty much immune. Main girl's a bit overwhelming, lol. Artstyle looks cute! |
| Not a bad start, seems like an isekai parody to me I'll definitely keep watching it |
 |
| I guess we just need to hope there's enough backlash from Japanese audiences about the studio ignoring the LN and manga for them to get back on track next week and actually do something based on the source material. Going entirely for anime original plots defeats the object of adapting something. |

You should, 80% of this episode is original content from anime but there are 7 translated volumes of the source material. I'll be waiting for more editions of the manga to get translated. I only have the first volume right now but will be checking to see when more volumes come out. |

| The first episode was kind of unimpressive to me. They're trying to play off of all those isekai tropes... but some of that's been done before. Overall, poorly executed. |
 |
| -> People saying this anime seems like an Isekai parody... They really killed the source material with one episode. |
|
| Hang on a sec, how long has Nano-chan been a cat? I've only read one volume of the manga so it may change later on but I distinctly remember them being weird robot cube things. |

| I guess I'll skip this one after all (and read the novels instead). Maybe I'll watch it later if it gets the good word, but I'm already watching too many shows and planning more, so something's gotta give :( |

| Is so Cute O‿‿O ^^ the adventures of Adele von Ascham aka Mile-chan begins. |
 |
| LMFAO I LOVE HOW THEY INTRODUCED TRUCK-SAMA IN THIS EPISODE. Okay okay this MC is absolutely fucking amazing. This isekai reincarnation is amazing for my trash self. I love all the references she made to manga/anime/movies/etc too HAHAHAHA Also the explanation for why her "average" powers aren't very average is amazing. |
 |
| Its about time we start getting some isekais with female leads. I want more isekais like this with girls as main character who are overpowered. Its a cute series cant wait for more. Love to see more of her overpoweredness unlike with normal isekai which has become boring to see. Girl power FTW!! |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Great to have more self-aware isekais this year, this was exactly what I neededtill I get fed up with these too And it's an all girl main cast, nice. Hope there will be more women with indecent fetishes. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I actually did run the math to get estimation on a world population to make her half power of a dragon and 6800 more powerful then human. Guess what? 1.000147080453007795264009413149 of humans per 1 dragon. The only way to fix this mess is to calculate average on species rather then overall population(so each kind counted only once) and there still should be some creatures to fill gap in-between dragon and human and offset amoeba. P.S. Yeah, math is a serious business contrary to isekai and nanomachines fantasy. |

| Another isekai parody but more moe-ish, I like it! the first episode is great. Truck-kun, the bad guys from Hokuto no Ken, overpowered Loli, a useless tomboy swordwoman, a redhead tsundere magician etc. XD great. |
| Truck-kun strikes again. I love the changes from the novel except for the exposition pauses. I don't think those were necessary to be revealed at this point. I hope they will do a proper flashback in the future though. |

| Another truck kun Isekai. Another overpowered MC. Bored.. Wait?? CGDCT Isekai anime with Doga Kobo's taste? Okay i am in. 😄 |

In a way, the MC did get "average" powers, the median average, not the mean average she probably had in mind. ^^; And just like the writer of this story, you also don't know what the average means. Average = mean. There is absolutely no difference. Median = the middle value. For an even amount of numbers, it is the mean of the two middle values. What our MC should have asked for is of course the median, as it is less susceptible to outliers (like the dragon). But if she got the mean amount of power, she should be weak as hell. There is only 1 (or maybe a few) super powerful dragon, while there are countless weak creatures to compensate for that. And then the 'middle of the scene'-exposition that is is shoe-horned in, says she got half the power of the dragon, which is even moreso NOT the average. If you really can't even think of a plausible reason for your premise, what are you doing writing a story? And then the 'middle of the scene'-exposition that is is shoe-horned in, says she got half the power of the dragon, which is even moreso NOT the average. If you really can't even think of a plausible reason for your premise, what are you doing writing a story? There are actually three types of average, and median is very much one of them. It’s just that in most cases, when we talk about average, we’re actually referring to the mean, which is certainly what the protagonist was asking for since, even if you factor in how strong an elder dragon might be, the number of weak individuals would balance this out resulting in a power level that’s...well, fairly average. Assuming a relatively even distribution of power levels across the spectrum from weakest to most powerful, the median would in fact end up being around the midway point between weakest and strongest which is exactly what the protagonist got, and that fits the description we got this episode. You call the elder dragon an outlier, but there’s really no way for us to know if that’s true without being specifically told that is there? All we know is that the elder dragon stands at the pinnacle, but we’re never told if there are other powerful beings that are only slightly weaker than it, and if so, how many there are. |
