| AbemaTV streamed the first two episodes today. It looks like they're trying to build further into this anime with Sylphy and Kaito's relationship. Sylphy needs to mature more as she is a bit naive... Dunno what else this anime is trying to aim for but it's becoming evident that they are keeping Kaito as plain as possible. Just nothing stands out so far about his character. On a somewhat positive note, he's not bad at using tools and is seems resourceful. |
 |
| ABEMA early streaming of Episodes 1 & 2. Amatsuki's OP....is just rather average fantasy Anisong... This show loves its dungeons...and more on its comedy as well...whch got me good that the opening served as a goddamn commercial, I got a chuckle out of it. Anyways, back to the dungeon, both Kaito and Sylphy going deeper and more fearful for the former, it's clear that Kaito is very scared. But thanks to Sylphiy, he gets his confidence...partially to combat the goblin, which he did and become a temporary goblin slayer. Things thereafter work fine for the money between the two, though he can't always hide from Katsuragi forever from constantly going deeper into the dungeon. Regardless of the variety of monsters faced, Kaito always finds confidence thanks to Sylphy who constantly always has to be fed magic cores...and one such reddish magic core, is unfortunately 2 million yen down the mouth to Sylphy's stomach. Still, this is nothing in comparison that Sylphy did manage to help him go further, and aside from the cute Syl nickname, Kaito has to constantly shuffle back and forth between levelling up and survival by purchasing potions and the like, not just for himself, but for Sylphy as well. And with yet another monster kill with a loot drop of yet another servant card draw, this time it's the Viscount-class devil of Luceria...which is yet another loli? What's up with all the loli girls lols? If anything, they give Kaito a run for his money. |

| Broke and weak MC trying to make something of himself, relatable. Well, minus the cute and funny servants.  |
| So... Another loli collector anime? |
| i expect some decent loli fanservice from this series |
   |
| Lots of good moments in this one, it didn’t take long and Kaito is already level 10 and able to take on the likes of goblins, although not by himself lol, gotta have loli servant Sylphy on standby in case he can’t do it, that first encounter with a goblin was quite funny tho, that’s the definition of stumbling into victory. And later Kaito actually stumbled on a rare monster, a skeleton aka deadhead, which is kinda surprising since skeletons are typically a common monster, but it actually dropped a red core which Sylphy enjoyed thoroughly, she was very cute enjoying that red rock, but Kaito ended up finding out that core was worth a ton of money, of course we can’t have him getting rich this early but seeing Sylphy enjoy it as food was more worth than the money lol. And I guess these rare slimes are actually the best monsters to hunt of all, because the silver slime ended up dropping another servant card, and since Kaito now sees the value in the servants he summons it, and it’s the 2nd loli from the OP and ED who looks like a little demon instead of a little goddess, this man isn’t just dual wielding bug spray anymore, he’s now dual wielding loli servants lol. I’m a bit surprised she appeared this early, I thought it would just be Sylphy for a while but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what this new girl is like. Very nice double episode premiere, I’m excited to see how Gekkou cooks with this one! |
| If they come out as lolis for everyone, he's probably doing the world a service by not selling them. |
 |
| More cute Lolis, LOOOL But seriously tho... are these summons "Servant cards" common? MC seems to find them quite easy... Not to mention back in episode 1, they already have pricing on Summons... and rare ones like Lolis can be sold up to 1 billion yen. (this means there are quite a bit of summons being sold, including Valkyrie if they already have a pricing) (plus, the world seems to regard them as normal and not any sort of "slavery", lol, I doubt they have any laws or rights regarding treatment of summons) And I take it that monsters and treasures respawn after a while... since judging by how the whole dungeon... seems to have modern lights set up (so ppls doesn't have go to around with torches, lamps or flashlights). This means the dungeons are already explored for quite a bit by other people/ governments... but yet... new monsters and new (rare) treasures like the lolis still appears on the early levels of the dungeon in parts that's already previously explored... And I also wonder... how do they determine a summon's age? cause in MC's case... is he a lolicon so the summon comes out as Lolis? LOOOL (and instead of like their cards or summon animation? lol) . Also, the new devil loli... seems like a candidate for "correction" . Also, forgot to comment back in episode 1... I just realized they have "status screens"... but it's not from any tech, it seems to be magic based... So does this mean when the Fantasy dungeons appeared 13 years ago, everyone in the entire world suddenly got a magic status screen? And what does "leveling up" really do? how do they determine the HP of a person? do you actually "die" on the spot if you reach 0 HP even tho your physical body is still healthy? huh... IE: MC has 14 HP... do he take 1 damage every time he gets hit by a slime or goblin? so if he gets hit 14 times even without any actual physical wounds... he dies? It would be more plausible setting if they remove the HP part and just go with the MP, BP and skills if they were going to be basing this on a world that used to be like our Real World with physics and people would only die if they took actual physical damage... and not just a certain amount of hits... . |

| It literally cut off the entire manga plot. Btw the manga plot was much more brutal and Syl was beyond OP. She got a tons of fucking powerful AOE large scale ablity. Anime take a much family friendly and slice of life approach It actually so strong her attack goes from level 1 to level 10 dungeons, wiping almost anything. And Lucy (Lucillia) never is that easy to obtain. In the manga plot, Lucy and Syl had a battle to the death, with Syl winning by one lucky margin. It was like fucking Gojo vs Sukuna, that battle is insane.  |

| @FuzeMintTea EXACTLY, THIS IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING OF EVERYTHING THEY CHANGED (COMPARING TO THE MANGA). The fight is insane, and best of all is the demon's past, which we learn a little about. Not to mention her look when she appears and her interaction with the MC, which is hilarious. |
| Aren’t the cards meant to be rare? This guy already found two within a span of at most a few days lol |
I'm just here to say that Sylphy is so!!!! cute!!!! too cute!!!! kami-level cute loli tbh!!!!!!!!! But hearing about all of the differences in comparison with the manga, it definitely makes me want to check it out soon. Despite all the clichés and the generic feeling of the anime, though, I think I'll still enjoy it as a turn-my-brain-off kind of thing. Also did I mention Sylphy is cute??? I'm 100% okay just watching it for her lol. |
  I'm me! The choices I've made are mine! I don't need your permission to be myself! ✧✧✧✧✧✧ profile ✧ watching ✧ reading ✧ art credit |
| The anime is skipping quite a lot of stuff that was in the manga. They are going waaaaaaaaay too fast. |
| The Goblin Slayer he is not. One look at Luceria and I thought tsundere. I would've sold the second card since it may have been worth 50 billion. |

| Sylphy's voice is so soothing... IDK about the loli, but that character is certainly adorable... P.S. The childhood character needs more spotlight. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

For all the talk about the manga; the anime is based off the novel. I agree that the manga is the superior product between the it and the novel but let's not get overly hyperbolic about what the difference is between it and an adjacent work both based off the same source. Also it's only episode 2, far too early to draw a conclusion on the series.
What you can draw a conclusion on is that Kana Hanazawa has terrifying talent to be able to list Sylphy in her filmography next to Mayumi Saegusa from Irregular at Magic High, Ran from the Urusei Yatsura reboot, Sariphi from Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts, Nadeko Sengoku from the Monogatari series.

| @NB_Tenchy Nailed it. Kana Hanazawa is a goddess. All of her roles are so good. Honestly, I thought sylphy was voiced by Filo's (Shield hero) VA. Crazy range. Anyway, sylphy is cute again, MC is powering up. Wonder why he didn't use the tungsten rod against the slimes, seems a waste to use spray when you have a thick, strong, hard rod to wack them with.... The slimes, I mean, not the summons obviously |
| Fascinating. Two lolis this early... OwO |

I knew the anime would skip stuff, but them skipping this drove me nuts. I’m considering dropping this as it may take my enjoyment away from the manga which I’m reading. This feels like Unnamed Memory all over again except this time I actually am a manga reader and can tell how badly this is rushed |

| @Animillion Is there a LN version and a Manga version? Or some similar context. Because I agree that is an incredible disconnect of an adaptation. |

| @waldy713 I believe there’s a LN as well. I only read the manga and it’s significantly more fleshed out. It’s just like how “The New Gate” cut out stuff and rushed things but this is just a little bit better visually. I’d rather see fewer series get adapted but at least adapted properly |

| @Animillion Yeah, that's fair. I know what you mean with The New Gate. I saw immediately their deviations. So I switched into taking it like a new work. Which is usually how I see films. In most contexts tbh. Even though we are spoiled to see most works 1:1 translated between mediums. At least coming out of Japan. To me, the normal. Is the directors show and their unique value they bring. Like any author et al. In the United States does for an establishment franchise for Marvel/DC etc. I think for good or ill. We'll start seeing that more and more in anime. We have for sure seen it much more the past year or so. There's a much healthier industry these past couple years. With a lot of foreigners involved in very impactful ways. Our own interest in the source material. Could have gotten things like The New Gate. The boost it required to be adapted at all. As most major partnerships with US based streaming services. Have a lot more pull than we'd give them credit. I think half the Isekai's. Are probably adapted due to their intense popularity in the US. And their LN sales on Amazon etc. With this season having so many good examples of quality. I believe we're looking at more adaptions. Just finally with Hollywood style money. Which for how cheap anime is to make... 5 million (USD) an episode. Is pocket change in the USA. For 12 episodes, merchandise, and a small market to dominate? Even Crunchyroll can pull in that investment alone. For a couple big productions per season that is. Shame this one didn't push itself back to Winter Season next year. Then double its budget. And attempt to compete as one of the sole 24 episode series. From what you showed alone. Theres no way they couldn't have extended to that content. That single panel could have been 3-4min with all the other context. Plus the LN for a cache of writing for the director to use... Yeah, this one had a lot more potential than its realizing. |

| @waldy713 Yea, I realize there can only be a few series like Demon Slayers that actually get elevated with their anime adaption. Still, it’s a shame when anime cut out parts that are the most important or exciting parts of a manga. |
| That was kind of selfish of him; he lies to a girl that actually likes him, and then hurts syl's feelings when he could clearly see her reaction. All this after saying he needed money and could easily sell that card. |
