The scene after the fight is a typical example of "she wants Shadow but walks past Cid everyday"
ASOIAF is the best piece of fiction

I am atomic lol. Proceeds to blow up an entire portion of the city.

Alexia just got straight out rejected, but I kind of expected it after seeing how this anime works. But yea we'll what adventure Cid takes next with this new girl who was introduced at the end of the episode.

Reminded me of a few other anime: The dark knights with their cape and swords attacking the big monster (that regenerates while generating vapor): Attack on Titan.
Cid as mastermind guy with some fancy looking costume: Zero from Code Geass. Though with his super powerful sword fighting ... more like a Kirito. :D

When he talked about a guy wanting to be strong enough to fight a nuclear missile ... Baki and Hanma Yujiro came to my mind, lol.

But yeah: Fun episode. The "I am atomic" was fun. Also the girl at the end not caring about the blood in his face. + some nice stuff for future development: The older sister princess gathering an investigation team. Shadow Garden then will have to become more careful.

Maybe because of all its previous build up I was slightly disapointed with this episode. My memory is a bit hazy, but I think the manga executed the fight with Zenon better? But I have to admit next heroines blushing at an blood splattered Cid raised my overall evaluation to 4/5 :D

"I am atomic"... Proceeds to nuke the city lmao.

I expected the monster to turn out to be a girl but not that she was the daughter of the kidnapper from episode 2. I had a feeling we would see her at some point but not that soon. Is she dead though? That was pretty awesome from Alpha btw.

Aww Alexia is showing her dere side <3. Too bad she's dealing with Cid. That was hilarious but come on, they had the best interactions so far :/

What could be more romantic than meeting your prince charming covered in blood lol. New girl is so cute.

Alexia acts a lot more deredere in here than the manga, so i actually felt a bit bad for her being rejected. Scene's even more hilarious though, Cid looks like he's about to accept but then SIKE
Can't wait to see Sherry's arc

viperhc said:
Ok this was over the top but I guess that is how this anime will go. I think Cid could've killed Zenon without that atomic explosion that appeared to have wiped out part of the city (how many innocent bystanders died from that? Yeah I'm probably overthinking that.)

Cid can detect other people with magic, so the nuke only killed the Zenon dude and stopped before hitting anyone else, notice how the magic aura stopped right in front of Alexia. He can control the magic so well it only harms who he wants to harm, it's really broken.

I was a bit surprised that Cid dumped Alexia and I'm guessing that was Cid's blood on the wall? In other words, I'm assuming Alexia got so mad that she attacked Cid and Cid took the hit and maybe healed himself afterwards? I believe it was said that no one was missing so I doubt it was Alexia's blood. It looks like Iris, Alexia's sister, knows that there are some traitors in the school since she had two of her trusted guys join an investigation team. Lastly, Cid needs to get himself cleaned up and I'm curious who the new girl is.

had to go through 5 mins of work just to correct your one point , what is my life coming to

Thanks, I totally missed that they cleared the residents and that he could control the magic. Still over the top but cool.

The episode was really fun !
However, as a LN and manga reader I just have a problem with the absence of masks for Shadow garden's members.

The art is beautiful and the characters look great but this tiny detail makes me wonder how "Alpha" and the others can hide their identity in the future.

Guess we will know in the following episodes !

But nice adaptation so far, I can't wait for the whole thing to be released !

Person of curiosity, your tag line on your forum posts gets a top hit in google for a twitter account. I'm not suggesting its you or not, but why post such an inflammatory post going so far as to use expletives unless you are craving attention. Where on episode 5. If you dont like it, then dont watch it. No one is forcing you too, and even if you do watch it and dont like it, take that hate somewhere else, because other people enjoy the show and its tiresome having to read your hate, and tell you about it.

He still destroyed the life of all those people living there by destroying their homes, workplaces, infrastructure to the city, military in the area. Its just bad writing and over the top execution for no reason and going against what the main character is trying to do. just bad...


oh yeah, battle between Mob vs Tsuzuki in MP100 killed many people, destroyed building, throwing the building, workplaces and many more.

Ichigo vs Aizen too like that.

and many more series like that, why you complain about that just for this series, make your statement in that series too and come here.

Nope you are not overthinking. It was just very bad writing. extremely over the top and goes against everything the character is said to represent and be. Just very bad. Not hating the series. I like the concept but its just so... bad...

It is supposed to be over the top because the mc is a parody character and definitely not a good guy.

Ok, another episode like this and its a drop, the whole episode was delivered with such a straight face it felt like it was taken from any of the hundred of OP protagonist isekai shows out there, the highlight of the episode came a bit too late since I was already half asleep and then the senseless destruction of a good chunk of the city took most out of what was good cringy fun.

Was really hoping this show would be a comedy poking fun at isekai and chuunis but at this rate it'll turn into the very thing it set out to poke fun at.

If the idea was to bomb the entire area to ensure that all the members of the cult would vaporise, it's a great one. But, if it was just to back up his "atomic" statement, I'm not too sure, xD. Feels like the Princess has figured out or at least is close to figuring out the Shadow's true identity, it'll be interesting to see how their interactions evolve with every passing ep. Gee, all that blood though, dramatic much?

It was nice to see Cid just bossing around the fight and embarrassing the heck out of the "future" member. Good lord, he just wouldn't shut up about that...

It was nice to see the other girls back and it was hilarious how Cid reacted to Beta's info drop of the new members count. And one more to come soon? Didn't expect Cid's sister to throw such a tantrum though, that was kind of nice.

I was surprised hearing the name Zeta. It’s seems their recruitment is going well. I’m interested in finding out more details about the girls as well

Cid nuked the cities entire district, Alpha vaporized the monster girl, and the world moves on. Honestly I'd be kind of afraid to live in that city. Another Amazing episode that felt like it flew by once more.

Alexia is angry with Cid because Cid refuses Alexia to continue the relationship, that's why cid got that blood.

Anime always presents something too dramatic, for example blood splatter.
I mean, it's treated exactly the same way n the LN, down to the legend of how there must have been a murder but no body was ever found. Of course, this only makes sense as a joke (which they completely ruined with the thumbs down smh) because it's obviously not believable at all that she would try to kill him over being rejected, even if he had zero chill the way he did it.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Just drop it bro, it's a parody the same way OPM is a parody, a comic relief MC in a serious story. It would never be a full blown comedy.
