GoHands and their horrible washing machine camera movement. You don't need to move the camera every 2 seconds. This animation gave me motion sickness. I don't know if I'll survive 26 episodes
6/10 for now.

Alot of people are complaining about motion sickness but this one is a huge improvement in that regard compared to the previous anime that gohands made. This is them toning it down.

@LunaBright Felt the same here, Luna. It's so much better to watch some visuals that are trying to do something new than the generic same stuff, even if "the trying is too hard" I'll take it. Let GoHands go nuts and break new ground, we don't need perfection for fresh new experimentation. Sign me up =)

Holy LOTM rip-off animation.
was I the only one who got LOTM vibe animation style from this thing. Though it obviously was no were near the quality of LOTM animation, it still was nice. it even got similarity when it comes to the aura enveloping something.

and gotta agree on the spinning camera angles
I've never watched any other anime created by GoHands, and that's the impression I got from their animation
@Unknown2424 Check out Mardock Scramble and K. That's where they should have stopped with the design. If they kept that way for this anime it'd be perfect.

Just from watching the first episode I knew this was the same studio that made The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses. But that one is one of my favourites, so I hope they do this story justice.

But so far I'm enjoying it, despite mild motion sickness lol

I do like that animation style, even if it is difficult to watch.

@Desmascarado the fact that this shit gets 26 episodes and shield hero only gets 12 per cour is disgusting, i wish gohands would adapt a better story with actual good composition cause this is horrible and waste of 2d resources
@hypexleaks Please don't mention Shield Hero in the same sentence as that isekai by Gohands.

I mean, her name is Maris, but they're calling her Malice, so it stands to reason she'd be a complete heifer... I really hope the MC gets to put her and his "Father" in their place by the end.

All the facial expressions are ridiculously over the top in this one.

I have a feeling the joker gal, is going to be really annoying.
@Vautiko Maris -> Ma-ri-su -> Ma-li-su -> Ma-li-ce -> Malice. I think it is a matter of adapting the phonetics/Katakana into something ocidental. Without an official guide, it is open to interpretation by the translators ๐Ÿ˜…

My god, who animated this? EVERYTHING WAS MOVING! It was like the animation team had a panning addiction they just couldn't shake


Also, can't believe the MC spent 5 years of his childhood like "something's....off" only to figure it out at the best/worst time possible
@Obelisk_Da_Blerd it was the very same with the first episodes of The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses. But later on the settled in and it was more "natural", althought sometimes they still made HEAVY USE of the Unreal Engine capabilities for the animation ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm looking forward to new episodes, I liked the first episode, the camera angles, the art style, animation and solid plot that backs off, all of it. It looks bold to me, even refreshing.

The GoHands style is polarizing; while some praise its bold, artistic experimentation and high production values, others criticize it as distracting, nauseating, or overly experimental at the expense of narrative clarity. Everyone can have different opinions on it, to me it felt new, and it fits this anime like a glove, as it is about the game. I wish everyone would give this an fair chance and not reject it just because it is different from our standard animation style.

cya in next episode minna! ~

Bro, like, you don’t need to move the camera every single frame and have characters jumping, spinning, and running around just to do a basic sword slash to prove you animated it decently. The result just looks kind of pathetic, ngl. Plus, they invested in the wrong project yet again. Gaming universes are usually garbage in reality, and the final product turns out to be trash whether the animation is good or not. This whole 'my level is higher than yours, so I'm better' thing completely ignores skill, combat experience, lore, etc. The way these stories work is honestly despicable because of how limited they are. And the dialogue, on top of being sparse, is clearly gonna be total crap since it's entirely based on classes, hierarchy this, hierarchy that. Man, I couldn't care less about that stuff

Solid premiere. Just as I thought, I really like GoHands' style and animation. My fondness of this studio started with Sukimega, then solidified with Momentary Lily and now, yeah, I really like it. It's just that the angles are way too much sometimes which is the flaw.

It's been a long time with knowing GoHands anime now and honestly, I can't see the vision with it. Especially with how anime generally look nowadays and how the bar has been raised a lot in general with how many good-looking and dynamic shows are present with each season, this studio can't seem to get their creative vision right. Everything looks so over-the-top and out there that it distracts anything happening in the story, and even with some developments compared to Hand Shakers days, still looks bad to me. They sure are different, but that doesn't guarantee it to be great either. For 26 episodes too, interesting.

Everything is good, except for the first five minutes, I don’t really understand why it was necessary to insert shots from the end of the first story arc, although Maris turned out to be a yandere beauty.

GoHands.....the one studio of which you should always watch the first episode of any new show they come up with just to have a good laugh, and only keep watching after that if you really hate yourself....
(Okay, that one with the cat was as exception. But not an original and for most part not all that GoHands-y...)

I might have considered watching more of this had it been only a single cour. But 26 episodes of this? Hell no!

I saw the character hair and I immediately knew it was GoHands. Legit lol'd. Didn't know beforehand. I can't believe they're also jumping on the isekai slop train and doing this series.

It wasn't as egregious as some of their previous works, definitely more watchable that's for sure. At least when it's not trying to be super exotic with its rotating shots. The hair visual is so fucking hilarious though. They're clearing trying utilize whatever techniques they did in Momentary Lily. One moment it's just one shape or a few large strands, next second a bunch of thinly drawn strands being animated if it's alive. It's so inconsistent it's funny.

As for the show itself, having read the manga, not fond of the skill system after hearing it again. The ordering and showing of stuff in the future was also weird. I guess they wanted to tease some stuff.

I am glad I got past the initial part where there were crazy camera angles going everywhere. The class system and skill trees being related to swordsmanship rather than magic makes this more interesting than a lot of the other shows of similar format. Am looking forward to more episodes.

Hands down the best of the season.I absolutely loved it. I want to keep it close and sleep while hugging this anime; I always dreamed it would get an adaptation, and my dream came true. The only one left that still needs an adaptation is Isekai Tensei Soudouki and Isekai Munchkin

Good ep

We can assume he has foresight already as a child and was isekai'd.

Animation looks great, but comp and BG look all over the place. Camera work is insane as usual.

Damn, looks like the ritual works according to what u truly want in ur heart.

Malice really lives up to her name and she took the Master Swordsman class. She bad asl tho....

The father fake asl.

Looks like he is the only one in the world who knows the true perks of this cursed class.

Fit hard.

Rampart Reflection kinda reminds me of Mash's NP: Lord Camelot.

Put BTA on those Raana (frogs)

Only right to aura farm in the sunlight.

9/10

Really enjoyed this first episode. I’m still not really use to anime’s that also use cgi but they are growing on me. This I think has utilised it well in the first episode. I think i will enjoy this so let’s see where this ride will go.

Uh what the, I did expect this series to eventually get an anime adaptation but I didn't think they'd go this far with the production lmao, got that crazy opener and all xD. They really are playing with angles and the art style is something else. I imagined this would've been your typical run of the mill whatever anime but ig not, well gotta see how the later episodes are like too.

Never ending plan to watch list...

Ok nice I might actually enjoy this? At the very least, see wtf kinda shit Gohands is going to do with all the moving cameras and stuff and wow this is going to be 26 eps huh?

Also ngl expected the swordmaster girl whatever to be crazy or evil etc or well Malice like her name but damn when she first spoke I was like wait wtf different character? then she actually showed her true side. Still who tf names their kid Malice lol like damn you already know she going to be a menace?

The exiled/banished thing has been like a big trope in recent years for some reason but I think this is my first time watching one of those shows?

Elymas the heavy knight. The storys probably going to be just ok and then we got Gohands doing whatever the fuck they're doing. Not many people going to like it I feel but I always do like seeing them being different I guess it's interesting. I hope they somehow make it work and this surprises me.

Honestly Gohands if they just toned it down to like even 50% like idk a middle ground it would be perfect but nah they go 120% with all the constant camera moving and stuff lol.

I think the visuals are quite different from what I imagined. The wind in the hair and the realism with the different platforms are very interesting. And the story has a good start. Why is the protagonist so calm while his life is falling apart? HAHAHA. He was disinherited and thinks "okay, let's upgrade the weapons and level up". Let's see how this develops.

my god the computer ai generated 240p scenery is so ugly
compared to the beautiful cg this studio used 12 years ago this is like it was ordered on wish or a alpha version which uses placeholders

the "all people instantly randomly hate me"-setting is nothing new but i have a weakness for game settings so im looking forward even tho my eyes will probably bleed every episode

have to say tho that i like that they tried to keep the fluid animations and animating fights even tho they are low fps here to save money
also a bit funny how the hair changes between having hair strands and not every scene

and a bit sad that his armor looks so bland drawn that it has no aura of weight and more like its just fabric which looks like a armor
