shiro_kai said: Have you ever read a book? Rape happens and it's dramatic, which is why it happens regularly in every medium. In the last three book series I read, I can count two of three that had rape at some point.The anime seems alright but the shounen authors and their thing for "attempted rape" is annoying as always. Who the hellstill like this kind of fan service? Oh, yeah, the japaneses. ...Fuck. Nothing to do with anime or being Japanese. |

Using it as "fan service", doing closes in the girl private parts, extended shots, and going just until the part the otakus will "accept", that's a completely different thing, |
| that guy looks wayyy too young to be a Sergeant Major. I heard the other soldiers calling him "Sergeant" in Japanese so could this just be a translation error? After all in real life it's impossible to achieve the rank of Sergeant Major without at least 15 to 20 years of service. |
| Overally it's pretty interesting, a little too much fanservice. Licht seems pretty cool (depsite those pervy situations) but I really, really hope Hina won't be another damsel in distress...Something's telling me she will be. |

ozzynothing said: and seriously is it that hard to go into an anime open minded and see where it takes you nowdays? everyone wants to know everything in the first episode or the anime is shit. If this is how we think its no wonder japan doesnt give a shit about our opinions Manga is great, read it. Suu's rides are fun. Japan should never care about baka gaijins opinions. I want to watch anime not western cartoons filled with forced ideology, diversity and other cancer. |

Combo of It's not isekai, also Licht Feels like people mix up fantasy and isekai more often now confusing the two. For peeps confused Isekai is when the MC is from another world who gets transported/teleported to another reality/world thats different from the prior. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

| This show really is not shy about providing fan service. Episode 1: Thighs and socks Episode 2: Pants, pants, pants... Where will it end? The actual story & world? Pretty damn average and I hope they will play the unique theme to its absolute strength. I am definetly not hooked yet. Licht and Hina are however 2 very likeable characters IF Licht continues to be this goofy even without the mask. |
 |
| Definitely not a fan of the MC but the plot is really interesting. Hina is cute and Nana hot, let's see if I can tolerate the MC and continue. Best moment was when the girls started kicking the molester like a soccer ball. |
| The first episode seems to me like a rip off of the very first episode of seven deadly sins which is enough for me to narrow my eyes already. For final judgement, I'll wait for at most 2 or 3 ep before deciding whether I'll be dropping it or not. |
| I remember reading a manga that had some pretty weird, in a bad way, plot twist. I think this might of been it. The female character's number should be based on the amount of times she gets sexually harassed or beaten cause god dam she does a lot in this one episode. |
| Not much hype for it but gonna continue... the thing bothered me so much that Hina didn't know anything , not a single thing. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| Pretty good start! The setup is interesting, I hope it will keep being intresting. Hina is cute, but god damn... 44100 km in 5 years, in search of the Ace. You would imagine her having huge legs after such milage. Atleast there was no shortage of closeups on her thighs!! Licht is weirdo and a pervert! But to think he's actually the Ace himself that Hina has been looking for all this time. Definitely one to stay this season if it stays interesting enough! |

| Can anybody tell m how 'gekitsuiou' is translated as 'ace'? All I can find is 'flying ace', and even that seems to refer to some specific Japanese mimitary guy from history. Am I missing something? You can't just shorten 'flying ace' to 'ace' ... |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| There are a lot of things that don't add up here, and it's really distracting from the main series. She travelled for 5 years, probably went to numerous towns and villages, yet she had no idea what the numbers mean? She talked very openly about her mom, so it doesn't make sense that no one has explained this to her. And what about the "people with a lower count have to obey those with a higher one". How is that enforced? Is it a thing they're unable to physically do, or is it a law? And can't the counts be exploited? If she had said "delicious" a thousand times, wouldn't her count go to 1077? I get that most of this will probably be explained soon, but it just really nags me. |
 |
| This is so bad lol. The plot is generic/dull as can be, the main lead is stupid AF and seems to just be for fan service and there's already some dumb and easy-to-avoid plot holes. Like, how did the villain know her count was for walking? He wasn't there when she explained that. Litch at least was nearby. |
 |
| I really liked this episode! It was really lighthearted and fun, definitely not an anime to be taken too seriously! The whole plot pooint that society is based on such a flimsy, subjective concept is kinda dumb though; if your count can be anything then how on earth can that determine your place in society? Most of the characters are likable but i feel like Hina's 'weak, innocent woman' thing is gonna get annoying and boring real quick. I liked Licht a lot though, he reminds me of Meliodas in the way he's pervy, carefree but massively powerful.

There are a lot of plot points that don't make sense and it kinda takes away from the quality of the anime, especially the count... it's a waaaay to subjective concept for a society to be built on!

I remember back when first chapters were scanlated translator chose Red Baron as translation  So as you can see all depends on translator. |
|
| I didn't like this episode at all, the thing with the numbers is super interesting but Hina not knowing anything about anything or super predictable appareance of the main hero, also, the fanservice it's great I think? it's not bad at all and making a super big tiddy character to put her number on the tits wasn't necessary at all. |

Turning 'flying ace' into 'Red Baron', wtf. Considering it's apparently a title, less a name, 'flying ace' would have been fine. Considering Richt's flying-like super skills it'd be more easily understandablr than 'red baron' .. Shit like this motivates me to keep learning Japanese so I can translate myself. |

| How do craps like this one get anime adaptation is beyond me. |

| Really enjoyed that. Great art. Was worried for a bit but the ending was satisfying and well made. Perfect amount of ecchi. False Ace made it feel like a hentai at one point. |
| She already found Ace, that was... fast. I liked the visuals and the animation. The story seems insteresting, i'll watch. 87/100 |

Japanese wiki page on the Red Baron - Manred von Richthofen has section titled 撃墜王, so this probably inspired TL to do this. |
|
| boy i think i might have gotten some enjoyment out of the numbers premise if it wasn't for such a shitty MC and a staggering amounts of sexual assaults in one episode |
 |
| The sexual assaults were the only good parts lol |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| At least we know the one thing Japan isn't shy about. |
 |
| This must be the worst anime released so far Who the hell is writing this program? Oh right the same author sora no otoshmono. Let us make an important presumption and let go of the fact that the main character is other perverted scoundrel like Meliodas who shows himself as degenerate, but it is not true! he really is an extremely badass just focus on the enormous expositional dump to a character who apparently knows literally nothing of the world that she spent however many years of her life in. It's not like she has amnesia or was raised by wolves. Either of those would have made this make at least the tiniest iota of sense. She's been searching for years, traveling all across the world, in complete ignorance of… well, everything. She also carries a priceless treasure that she doesn't know is valuable, yet this is apparently the first time she's shown it to anybody. For hell's sake, it contains an exchange going: "You are scum! Your number is impossibly low!" "Sir, wait! He number is less than zero! That's impossibly low!" "What!? Less than zero!?" Yes, the shocking realization is that -999 < 0, and it's delivered by about three characters, peanut gallery commentary, and shocked gasps all around. Where do you even go in talking about a show that just flat out makes zero sense and considers the audience and audience surrogate character to be a blithering imbecile while also moonlighting as rape bait? It doesn't even hold up on the production front either. Fantastic animation wouldn't have salvaged it, but it would have at least shown where the effort had gone since it definitely wasn't into the script. It's just flabbergasting that people were paid to create something as badly written as this seriously Was this thing of the most anticipated of the season? |
| Jesus lord I haven't seen a Solid nosebleed like that in a long ass time. Haha. Honestly it was rather funny. Damn I wanted to whoop that Military dudes ass. Hina is pretty hot. Im okay with this anime so far. |

| Ok, Plunderer isn’t great, but it’s not nearly as bad as people made it out to be. It’s got issues with animation, some plot holes and the rapey shit was annoying, but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. 2 cours so let’s see how it goes. Solid 6.8/10 |
 |
| Ok maybe it’s the cheap sake I’m drinking but THAT was a pretty good episode. Panties Fes in the next episode! W00t. I’m dripping already. Seriously the action was great and the comedy was very funny. Good color and audio. Loved the first episode. |

Hegar said: No. No, no, no. It does NOT make sense Lol chill dude. Hegar said: Yes, she lived in the mountains, but she had another person there - her mother. And she never once asked about the numbers. No, it does not make sense. It also doesn't make sense never meeting any other person just because you live in the mountains. .......... Do you actually paid attention on what I'm saying? MahiaErebeaNegi said: Also, based on the information we know from the manga, I doubt her mother actually know how count works in this world aside of the one from the Red Barons/Ace. Hegar said: No, it does not make sense to never, in FIVE YEARS of traveling, asking anyone about it. Hegar said: It's a batshit insane premise. The numbers. Not even the most powerful of gods would introduce such a system, and there is no population in the world that would accept it. "The number of times people say the food was good". What the actual hell. And it's batshit insane that someone who can stand and walk and talk wouldn't ask ANYONE, NOT EVEN HER OWN MOTHER, why she has numbers on her thigh and why everyone else also has numbers. In her entire life. You seriously need to reread what I'm saying again if you think it doesn't make sense. If my answer wasn't clear enough for you, then how about you watch EP2 yourself since that episode shown a little bit more on Hina's past and how she never asks other people about the count until now (It's already available on internet due to pre-screening). Hegar said: Your answer to "why the hell wouldn't she ask anyone about it?" is "she didn't ask anyone about it". That is not a very good defense of the show's premise, I'm afraid. I never said the answer is great or something else (I even said the answer was stupid in my previous comment), I just said that reason is at least understandable given how she went through in past 5 years without asking anyone for help. Don't get me wrong, I don't even like Hina as a character at all (Especially after the end of this season) and you're free to hate her, but you really paid attention on a certain stuffs before complaining. Almost every criticisms you mentioned are all explained in the episode itself. _Sirius_ said: Also curious as to why they decided to call it the "legendary ace" instead of the flash baron like in the mange (hope that;s not considered a spoiler o.o) cause I would prefer they used the latter tbh \_O_/ Because it's unofficial English title used by the fan translators, the actual translation of it was "Aerial Ace" not "Red Baron". |

| So...if we were going to have a badass pervert lead, I guess no one knows how to write someone to hold a candle to my boy Arata Kasuga from Trinity Seven. This was all kinds of cringe with so much rapey vibes shit taken straight out of Alicization that I'm dying inside thinking about how this will go. Main highlight of the pilot was Nana for me, other than that...it seems like I'll just see where this goes for a few weeks. |
