This episode is wild.

I was not expecting the monster teddy bear thing to make an appearance. More importantly, it was very fun to see Elma and Ruche team up together. She always had that potential and just needed the confidence to use it. Ruche is still the most entertaining character in this series imo.

One of the most satisfying party member recruiting scenes ever. Elymas really just changed Ruche broke ass life 😭not only is he giving her an 80/20 split, but also told off her former party members and made them look dumb af. At least Reiss was smart enough to realize Ruche clearly has some useful abilities to make Elymas this down-bad for her, but even then, doesn’t matter if you know that if you don’t know how to utilize her!

Speaking of broke asses, I’m glad he ain’t let Ruche pick up the coins and made Cline bumass pick them up since he clearly needed them with his broke ass 😭

The way Luche just showed up like 20 minutes ago and already carrying this show so hard lmao. Might have some annoying camera angles and animation and horrible pacing, but fuck, I love her sm already. She’s such a nice contrast from Elymas’ edgy depressed vibe and brings some much needed fun to the story. Absolutely love how she just goes from one extreme to the other on a dime.

As expected, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Ruche is literally lady luck! Gonna be so funny to see the look on Cline and Reiss face when they realize their drops are ass now because their RNG boost is gone lmao.

Decent episode. So, the broken ability Elymas mentioned is Ruche's ability to increase luck by 500%. That seems incredibly useful in an RPG, especially when loot is so important. She's very loud and energetic, though, haha.

How many times are they going to reuse the same crowded street and fly by scenes... -_-

Someone pointed out how they just straight up reused the same scenes from previous episodes, and I can't unseen them now lol

I think this is an improvement from the previous episode, but still not a fan of how this show looks a lot of the time. Don't care for Elymas. Ruche (or is it Luce...)? Not sure tbh. I don't really feel anything towards her atm, but she is making this show just slightly more tolerable... Most of the time.

I really don't care for this show's RPG elements either, things like the stats and skills. It's just so stupid to me, and I think the show would've been better off without them.

@Abdur-Rauf I swear they've become more obvious LOL though that may be because people have been pointing them out and I just can't unseen them,but they reused the same street scenes two episodes in a row now I think XD

I need a count of how many times they've repeated those crowded street scenes, and how much time they all take up...

That’s basically 500% more gold so yeah she is crazy good and I bet an upcoming episode will have the classic “we’re sorry we kicked you out please come back that guy doesn’t even like you (also we will try and attack you if you don’t accept)”

Can’t wait to see if there is an XP boost skill in this universe too

i don't know how much useful my information will be but, the exiled heavy knight Is a very short manga talking about his length for chapter, like 12-14 chapters. Sometimes they will adapt 4 chapters, the other time 3 or 2. I agree with everyone about the pacing, thats really annoying, therefore i'll wait for the anime to finish to air to binge in it everything at once. As in writing this i arrived at chapter 90 of the manga, i really hope we can arrive at chapter 65 for the anime ending, and maybe a possible 2nd season. Im really loving the characters soo far and ruche Is a top tier goat, i think i can compare her to hakuri from kagurabachi when talking about carrying situation. The story Is actually more interesting than a lot of isekai i watched/read in my life, the progression Is a integral part of the story which Is the very core of the work.

@Alkimia @Abdur-Rauf

I was thinking the exact same thing!

The visuals in this anime are beautiful—the buildings, the scenery, and everything else—but it feels like each episode is about 15% opening and ending, 10% scenery and city shots, 15% recaps of previous scenes, and only 60% actual content :(

Btw, if you ever count how many times those scenes appear, please let me know! xD

The reusing of scenes from previous episodes and random shots of towns and landscapes is waaaaaaaay too egregious. It's like the pacing of one piece where there's only like 5 min of progression in a 20 minute show with 15 minutes of reaction faces/gasping or sweeping shots of the landscape/town people.

Would be so much better if they fixed that. I mean it's an isekai so the bar is extremely low, but still with visuals like this it's obvious the budget was stretched and they reused animation to extend the episode count.

While Ruche did end up joining Elymas' party I hope that he didn't stick with an 80/20 split, I mean a 50/50 split is more than fair considering he's the leader. Anyways, Ruche did end up having a high luck stat which means higher chances of loot. On that note I won't be surprised if (or rather when) her old party members come back crying saying that they made a mistake in kicking her out and will beg for her to rejoin them.

Elymas really needs to work on his poker face and negotiation skills, Ruche is a cutie, she is slowly getting confidence, maybe her luck skill gets a bonus is she does the final hit or something like that.

Adorable blue pierrot has been secured, good thing Cline and Reiss are blueberries and didn’t realize how great Ruche is to have around (I guess I’m not gonna call her Luce anymore since even the MAL entry says Ruche now lol), there’s that and clearly Cline was an asshole that didn’t want to share any of the payout. Also Reiss actually did pick up on why Elymas would want someone like Ruche on his team but the dumbass Cline even shut that down lol. Well he and Reiss are gonna find out real quick how much Ruche’s absence will be felt, I kinda hope we get to see that but not sure if we will or not.

Those goobers aside, with Ruche in Elymas’ party now, it’s time to grind EXP and then go for the big hunt that Elymas is after. It was fun watching them fuck up those bears (also there’s that tasteful Ruche camera angle again that they showed in the first episode), I’m also really enjoying Ruche and her hyper attitude, just a pure delight at all times. And with Ruche gaining some levels, the next target looks like a frog dipped in liquid gold, I wonder if catching it is gonna be similar to the golden hands from Persona or not.

I'm loving this waste of a show. It's 5 minutes of "real" progress and 20 minutes of a waste of time. But truly, they're experts and I'm loving their skill at showing nothing every week. Hopefully, next episode is even less revealing.

I'm going to call it. when Ruche's old party realizes her worth and try to get her back, we're going to see the flashback of when they kicked her out. Then while she's having that flashback, she'll flashback to all the nice things Elymas has done for her. Then we will cut to a break, then we will get a recap of her party realizing her worth and try to get her back, just their voices though as we pan around the city before returning to the scene as Ruche flash backs to when they kicked her out and how nice Elymas was. Fifteen minutes later she will then tell them she's not coming back, but not before Elymas spends his own ten minutes having flashbacks of how him and Ruche worked together.

I mean given how this has been going so far, there's a good chance this is coming in the future, and it's going to be so funny.

@uselessDM I mean yeah, showing scenes of the world actually living and breathing can be great. My problem with it is they're now showing the same crowded street scenes from previous episodes. In fact, this episode in particular uses the same crowded street scenes from the last one. It's just so jarring to me, and it's not something I expected out of GH, it's something I'd expect out of a cheap studio.

We also got that one scene that like flew over the town from I think the first or second episode repeated here, and scenes of the forest from the first episode.

I feel like they just didn't bother making new scenes and just straight up copy and pasted the same ones here, and it's happened across multiple episodes now. Someone pointed it out to me, and I can't unsee it now, and it's just made this show even more frustrating to watch lol

Edit: Actually no you know what, having those same street scenes just repeat throughout different episodes makes this world feel less alive! It's almost like wherever the main character is absent, the rest of the world just goes through a loop! XD

I haven't watched this episode yet but wanted to post my realizations from the previous episodes.

If they had saved some money but cutting back on all the expensive CG work and extra camera movements in almost every shot, the show would likely look better (because it's overloaded atm) and they'd have the money to go through the story a little faster instead of putting so much unnecessary padding and recaps.

I also realized why the characters on moving backgrounds looks so floaty. Even though I think the tracking seems to be on point. The backgrounds are rendered at a different framerate from the animation!
So what is happening is that the background is smoothly panning at a higher framerate and the animation is only getting updated every so often, so the characters will lag, then pop into the correct position and then drift off again.

Even though a nice feature of CG is being able to get full framerate animation rather naturally, when mixed like this they should be locking frames to match the characters. I bet the difference would be shocking and might fix a majority of the weird other-worldliness.

After that my only issue would be their use of extreme lighting and lighting effects i.e. the colors being off like the white balance is messed up or something, and the lens flares.

@CalorieEnchilada not sure if you've seen other shows from GoHands but the excessive lens flares and lighting effects is their style, and I hate it. I think it just looks ugly, plain and simple. I first saw it in that one show about a girl who forgets her glasses, and I immediately knew it wasn't my cup of tea.

They could've you know saved some money by just not doing those effects, but no, because it's their style, and now they're reusing filler scenes from previous episodes in order to pad things out more lol

Also this is getting 26 episodes, not 12 life I thought it would, which just makes me question the padding and horrible pace even more!

Calm ep

Finally, Ruche has joined the party.

She dumb as rocks, but she a goof.

First dungeon, here we goooo.

Those patchwork bears kinda big, ngl.

Ruche kinda smooth with the knife.

Love the teamwork. Leveling up with proper guidance.

Look at that precious smile. She must be protected.

Bruh, they got golden Raanas now...

Drop rate elite.

Pacing kinda slow, tho.

7.5/10
