That Wilhelm guy gives off bad vibes just looking at him...

Shin managed to keep his cool so props to him. Still feels like a boring episode imo. The chemistry between Shin and Tiera looks blend while there's little excitement about the town he is. Wilheim has more interest with his character introduction than either of the main leads. On the plus side, at least Shin isn't some weak protagonist.

are they just as lazy when they name certain side females? or is it based on the part of Europe that the fantasy genre is generally based on?

This looks REALLY cheap! This is 2024, yet the animation looks even worse than 2015.... That's an achievement actually....

Wilhelm, what did they did to you, buddy? You look so much cooler in the LN... Why you gay in the anime?

Finally, best waifu in the series, Schnee!!!

@phantomfandom Remember the different races? Elf, Dwarf, Beast-kin, Dragnil, Human, Pixie, and Lord? Wilhelm is a Lord. Lord is pretty much New Gate's equivalent of Majin/Demon-kin in other isekai.

The quality should already been expected since the first episode but at least it is a bit better than first episode.

Elementail is a top tier monster [SHOCKED FACE]

But... didn't he just mention one of the material for the sword he made for his supporter... Elementail?... why so shocked? lol

Especially with how he was acting from the "power-level" of things weren't that "impressive".

Maybe MC actually caught up really fast with the current world setting, where things have degraded and things he thought was the norm is now legends.

(which is kinda interesting, compared to a certain other airing series where a businessman has a smooth brain)

Being true to it's origin maybe? (aka, source said this series was from the 2013s)

As for vampire dude... LOOOOL, I actually didn't think he looked gay... but I think it's due to his pale skin and skinny body. (aka, he isn't the macho manly physique)

Okay, the animation was quite average at best. Even the opening song's animation was just average with an above average quality song, but the ED's animation was better animated.

Anyway, I'd call this 2nd episode better in terms of world building than the 1st episode.
But it's still not the decent quality I was hoping for to justify its adaptation.
They need to do better, because currently, I'm pissed with the current quality.

It's not an achievement, it's actually an ongoing problem of anime animation these past years.

Even those who have friends talk to themselves more often than not. 😳

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.

@amlg Wilhelm's not a vamp, it's the anime's fault that Wilhelm looks like Edward Cullen. In the LN (and manga, maybe?) he was so much cooler. Wilhelm is a Lord, New Gate's equivalent of Majin/Demon-kin race in other isekai.

@Fearfesse I mean, you only need to look at the entire 1st scene with Rione in this EP, the characters are all still images, with only the mouth moving. Cardcaptor Sakura from f*king 1998 was so much more expressive than this abomination! Those kind of animation quality is from the 80s, maybe even 70s!

The budget for this anime seems to be like playing limbo: "How low can you go."

LOOOL

I know, I was just going off the in-anime reference the guy called himself, as a "vampire" LOL


Thanks for the racial/ class tho, since I didn't look into the anime/ manga of this series, and all we saw was class titles from MC thinking.

I was worried at the very start of episode 1 at how different the vibe was for me with his battle against origin compared to the manga but they righted the ship pretty quickly. This episode however was great and with SO MANY awesome events upcoming I think this anime will be another of peoples favs by the end of the season. With our boy now picking up his Foxey companion (see what I did there 😂) things are heating up. Next episode should really a good one. This overall anime season doesn’t have the number of decent shows as last season but it has just as many if not more good to great shows with this one being in that list. As many others have posted in different threads here lately it truly does seem that all the good stories I’ve read over the past couple years are becoming anime and I couldn’t be happier 🥰

Sou's OP is just decent and nothing special.

Shin's actions definitely raised some alarms about the Skullface Jack which he defeated, alongside the gem which he retrieved. But the levels of the Skullface definitely were not what Celica and Els expected Shin to defeat, much less the person who's sitting next to him: Wilhelm the "Vampire" Avis. Learning more about the history of Bayrelicht, Shin finds some similarities, but that's literally it. With the reports coming in about the Skullface Jack that Shin defeated, as well as the sword that came flying into the kingdom, it's definitely related, but that secret is kept under a tight lip. With tiger beastkin Mille secretly telling Shin to save a fox in the woods, he might as well do it while waiting for Schnee, same as well with the Blue Moon sword that she used to use.

Into the Northern Woods Shin goes to save a fox, and him finding a fox shrine where said fox has been cursed and poisoned, healing it and taking care of the undead, as well as its high-level guardian spirits, it's all a piece of cake for Shin. Him earning the rare Elementail, it's one clue of how he could return back home.

A slow burn, but baby steps to see the return.

Wilhelm are you Lancer? Similar design and in blue. Show is pretty mid, but watchable I suppose. Could use more than 1 swipe dead animations.
