@TurnipFan fair. haven't read manga, so I can't speak on which is better, but anime was alright

Please make a season 2 of "The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash" anime. I just finished watching it, and I loved it so much! I'd love to see a sequel.

@oazuz You are correct, however they gave it the modern star wars treatment just like was done with saving 80,000 gold (story changed so much & in bad ways that its like comparing star wars the original trilogy to the newest movies)

@TurnipFan manga manga manga manga. Why would you need to always look at manga when watching an anime? Anime is a different medium. It's not supposed to be 1:1. It's not even supposed to be compared.

This Studio is an EMBARASSMENT. Can't even follow the script.

How can they fuck up such a great manga so badly? Fourth wall breaking did not happen in the manga & its happening every 10 seconds in ep1.

They also do not even follow the storyline by a fucking mile.

And they display her as bipolar which she is not in the manga & they make her appear extremely stupid. (compared to the manga)

From episode 1 alone this is an insult to the original work.

Also she is explaining everything like some mentally disturbed individual

Holy moly they got an experienced director for this, let's go!

Not only that, but the studio choice is also quite interesting. As far as I can see Studio Massket has been mainly a sub-contractor until now who have been involved in all kinds of anime. So they are by no means unexperienced. But this would be their first venture into becoming the lead studio in an anime project. Let's see how this goes. Maybe birth of a new major studio?

Oh i went to read the LNs after seeing that the anime was in the pipeline, this is a lovely story!
It reminded me of Bookworm x Campfire Isekai.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Holy moly they got an experienced director for this, let's go!
