Instead of getting ready, Mc goes straight to such a difficult dungeon and defeats the monster again by stabbing him in the eye with a dagger xD It's a pity that MC's relationship with her mother is poorly developed... it practically doesn't exist, so I don't really care about the plot with this potion, they seriously could have give at least one flashback or something😐

They did in episode 3… Why are you not focusing but still saying wrong things? Finally, his weapon literally works on weak spots so stabbing it through the eye makes sense. Like god you haters don’t even know how to criticise. You never criticised overrated animes before huh. Plus this anime is alil bit overhyped but compared to animes that don’t deserve even hype, I atleast will accept it and I am against these stuff but god you haters need to actually touch grass.
| @Confused_100 who said that poking in the eye is pointless? it's just boring, every boss fight has to end this way? in the third episode he also risked his life and he should learn that it is too dangerous, if he knows that thanks to the system he will become strong enough sooner or later, why rush? in this episode he was close to death and he didn't think that he would leave his mother and sister xD |
| Ah, so Jin finally has a goal. Completing the Demon's Castle to get the ingredients to make the Elixir of Life. That fight with Cerberus was intense, I honestly thought he would back out of the dungeon because of the power difference. Some nice animation in that fight. I'm assuming that the younger brother is at least a Rank A Hunter, if not an S Rank. I found it a little strange that only now realizes he has regeneration abilities. Felt like an awkward place to bring that up, should've been shown back at the hospital, but whatever. Crunchyroll keeps using the line "trust fund kid" every single time the rich kid is on screen. So much so I'm cringing every time I read it. |
| So THIS DUDE struggled like a bitch in the last episode to defeat what, a mediocre boss? While previously known for being able to survive despite being weak because of how careful he was, now he gets a hall pass to fight a MUCH stronger beast and what he does is IMMEDIATELY GO IN without even a second thought. and then actually succeeds by stabbing the fucker in the eye a bunch of times?? Bro what, who wrote this? The pacing is all over the place. |

Because by logic if you see a potion that actually fixes every problem you have and you are overconfident from winning, what do you think will happen? This is to humble him. Finally it’s literally twice. The snake was using his grip, the gollum using a throw, the people by both poisoning them and cutting their head. You focused on one thing and ignored everything. Like I get criticism, I love it even. I do to even my favourite series but this is just giving the word a bad name. I would get if you say “pacing isn’t as good, the story feels generic, the side characters don’t get shine at all so far” anything I can understand.
| @Confused_100 the potion will not solve this problem if MC dies xD the point is that he is constantly risking his life and doesn't think about the consequences, his motivation is his family and he doesn't wonder what will happen if he fails this time, he barely defeated the snake so he should learn that 50/50 success, I don't like it but if you don't see the problem, it's ok. You're right that he defeated the snake differently, but defeating the boss in the same way two episodes in a row is still disappointing. |
Confused_100 said: They did in episode 3… I'm curious what exactly they did? Showed that he's comleting daily quests to level up? I think @Ba-Cii10 meant buying equipment, maybe gaing some more levels before that, but nah, Jin-woo didn't even think about it. Confused_100 said: Finally, his weapon literally works on weak spots so stabbing it through the eye makes sense. So? How is it supposed to justify that he killed cerberus by hitting only one eye, especially when he is in it's mouth being literally bitten in half (and ofc that wont kill him, but stabbing cerberus in eye is completely different matter)? |

| omg their chins are actually becoming more sharp with each episode |
| Intense fight. I feel like they could've emphasized how close he was to death SAO-style. Either with the health bar going down lower or just showing the Cerebus close to cutting him in half while he was stabbing the eye.... |

Poison effect? Bleed effect? You don’t play RPG games? Those two effects are known to be one of the most OP effects in gaming. Look at Elden Ring, play with a bleed build and the game becomes super easy. Same concept goes here. I do get that fight ended abruptly which is my criticism but the way it lost? Nah I get why it died fast.
| @Confused_100 I get it, but to see those effects work THAT fast... Maybe I missed smth but it was cancelling every debuff that his dagger applies. As I recall the snake was somehing aroung C-rank, so I doubt a C-rank dagger can damage that much to mob like this. |

| It's only episode 7, and our MC has already leveled up enough to defeat a mini-boss in an S-ranked dungeon... I wonder what rank he will achieve by the end of the series!? Probably something like 'God-rank' 😂 and maybe he'll then become God himself 😂. Anyway, I'm only worried that the D-rank wealthy boy can escape getting killed while the MC is still in the dungeon, though... the tank's brother looks really strong and nasty >.< |

| Jin-Woo is under the scrutiny of the Hunter's Guild since it is highly unusual for a Rank E Hunter to survive a Rank C dungeon. Jin-Ho meets with Jin-Woo to propose creating a guild and expanding his father's company, but Jin-Woo rejects the idea as it doesn't seem profitable to him. On another front, Dong-Su, the brother of one of the Hunters who tried to kill Jin-Woo, is seeking revenge for his brother's murder. I can't wait to see how Jin-Woo handles this. Jin-Woo obtains an S-rank difficulty key by completing double the daily system missions, and within this dungeon key lies the Elixir of Life, which Jin-Woo finds useful to cure his ailing mother. The showdown against Cerberus was spectacular, and I was on edge for Jin-Woo's life. The accompanying soundtrack added to the intensity of the moment. An excellent episode, Jin-Woo shines. |

| Brother dies in a dungeon, immediate assumption, someone far less powerful than him murdered him. That's dumb. Dude gets key to what he assumes is an S-Rank dungeon... immediately uses it with no preparation. That's super extra special dumb. This show is utter trash. |

| @yngtadpole He was missing an arm, he was basically bitten in half, he'd lost several times more blood than a human body even has... They didn't just show him close to death, they showed he had taken enough damage to kill him 5x over. The animation is retarded. |
| Jin-Woo went straight to an S-rank dungeon, winning that C-rank dungeon really made him overconfident! He is lucky he did not die after loosing that TP stone… |
| You forget the smaller fights like cerebas. Glad A1 isn’t skipping them. Animation pretty 🔥 |
| Amazing animation as always. (8/10) |

You forgot the ability his dagger has. The paralysis / poison effect didn't work at first, but after the Cerberus's rage effect cooled off, it left it prone to his dagger's effect
| @Cwush Rage effect only gave additional power, not immunity, at least that's how Jin-woo said. But, yeah, probably just a mistake and Rage gives immunity buff too. |
|
| so the brother is voiced by junichi suwabe i.e sukuna's voice actor huh. |
 |
| that was one epic battle, i don't see the dead hunter's bad ass bro beating MC that easily since he took down a freaking Cerberus lol |
       |
| This episode is a weird case of how they adapted more than I thought they would without adapting really all that much content. |
| Just another good episode; it's been consistent. |
 |
| After watching Shangri-La Frontier's latest episode, the way this show handles RPG mechanics is simply laughable. Well, at least the fight against Cerberus looked cool. And also what happened to the always-careful/think-before-act MC from episode 1-2? Fighting a S-Rank Boss without a plan and without making preparations beforehand? What kind of character regression is this? |
Reply to Icceman
@felixsifuri I heard from a friend who read the manhwa that its story and character development is really bad, but man, the pacing indeed is just tragic. The standards for anime must be low if it gets a 10/10 from people…
| @Icceman Its an enjoyable ride. It is purely there for the fighting. |
| I saw that a lot of people didn't understand why SJW went inside the dungeon or how did he beat the first monster. So to clear up some misconceptions: - In the manhwa he accepts Jin-Ho's proposal. This means he's going to have to clear C rank dungeons on his own. For this to work he has to gauge his current strength and level up more. He also wants to exceed the expectations of the system. - Cerberus is an A rank monster. SJW's title gives him 40% buff against beast type enemies. This buff didn't work against the snake and spider boss. Originally he gets the 20% damage reduction before the fight. - It's only presumed the dungeons is an S rank because of the rarity of the key that opens it. He doesn't have a device to actually measure the dungeon's rank. - Rank of a dungeon means the magical energy it emits. For example an S rank gate could mean 1 S rank boss, or a million E rank thrash mobs inside the dungeon. - Dungeons usually get tougher the further you go in. So it's pretty standard for hunters to see how far they can go. It's very rare for the first monster to be something that you can't handle. - So far the system has only thrown stuff at him that he could handle. It constantly tries to keep him alive so it's logical to think from SJW's point of view that this dungeon is something that he could tackle. - He doesn't have any other options to level up right now. As an E rank he can't participate in high level raids. And he can't reevaluate his rank because that would draw too much attention and would put his family in danger. This instance dungeon is his only chance to level up. |
