That's a skill book? It looks more wicked than it sounds.

Elymas managed to increase his adventure rank so he's definitely making progress. I guess he wants to push the boundaries of his class, or reach further than what he's capable of. I'm curious what other powerful objects like that exist in their world.

What the hell is that rainbow halo around every outdoor scene? Makes the whole animation look like literal trash.

This thing just devolves in quality every new week (yet more long recap scenes again this week). And such a shame, as the plot is fun and the characters are interesting.

They replay the scene that just happened 10 seconds ago... I mean, they did a flashback to scenes from 10 seconds back; I can't believe it. Kudos to the director for managing to throw away all the animation and making the whole thing look like trash.

It took 5 episodes, but they finally introduced Luce and the skill book. The pacing is still atrocious, but it should start getting more fun now.

Only issue I have is the extra drama they're adding, like his hard breathing after he runs to catch up to her - that was kind of unnecessary (ofc, it still covered his request and shows how her current party is abusing her)

Extremely drawn out shit. Like seriously, who the hell needed to hear those final six minutes or so of nothing only for it to end on her pretty much going "OH NO I'M BEING RAPED" because he wants to form a party with her? Just walking around in the town for three more? Does this manga have, like, zero content?

It's frustrating that the skill book is hard to acquired, but at least it leads to Elymas gaining new ally.

The recaps and flashbacks are brutal bruh. Every episode except for the first have been like 50% recap or flashback and it's pissing me off. Like someone else pointed out, sometimes they're from scenes that occurred literally right beforehand in the same episode.

3:50 72,000 Gold for 3 heading potions wtf?! 🀯

Bruh that old witch is an even bigger rip off 🀯🀯🀯 inflation is crazy

17:00 man there’s even more pieces of shit in this anime 🀯🀯🀯

Their faces at the end are so animated 🀣

I can predict that Harley Quinn girl has a skill to enhance the chances of a rare drop and Elymas is going to take advantage of that to get a Skillbook drop or just accumulate gold to buy it 🀭

So they shortened the recap at the beginning, skipped the mid episode replay, but lo and behold, they actually repeated the last scene inside the last scene. But even the shop scene was littered with time wasting exposition.
Brilliant waste of time. GoHands is on another level of wasting my time. I'm looking forward to the next episode to see how little they can advance the story in 23 minutes.
I'm hoping, they start off next episode by replaying the entire last scene including the repeat within a repeat. Now that would just be next level trolling!

Me and the bad bitch I pulled because she got a skill tree I want 😭 only took 5 episodes, but the reason I’m even watching this show, Luce, has finally shown up.

These kicked from the party scenes always make me laugh because if you’re in a fantasy world, surely you’d know the importance of having a tank in your party?? Not everyone needs to be a DPS or support, especially as you traverse more difficult dungeons. Oh well, that party’s loss and Elymas’ gain. I did think it was really sad Luce is so desperate for friends that she was willing to work with them for free, fuck that. Know your worth, which I expect Elymas to help teach her since he was also someone written off for perceived “useless skills”.

Only 50 million gold lol, going to be a long grind.
There are some awful people out there as expected, Ms Pierrot didn't deserve to be treated like that.
Elymas realizes that she's special, and she is quite the character by the looks of it.
Looking forward to the next episode to see what happens.

50mil really wtf!!! It's for a job no one wants, so why would anyone with that job go looking for that book, let alone have that kind of money to buy it. No one wants that job in their party really l, so I am assuming anyone with it is fairly low level and can't make much. This is kind of a deal breaker for me. I really wanted to like this one too. :(

@Seynless Pretty obvious that the old witch cunt saw that Elymas really wanted it, so she immediately asked for an astronomical price. I've known record stores like that in the past - they refuse to put price tags on anything, and if you ask them about any item, they'll give an outlandish quote. If he'd just sent his oblivious friend next week to ask for it, it might've been two million.

@Seynless This was so stupid, dumbass didn't even try to negotiate. I don't care how rare it is or that nobles have inflated the price, it's worth what someone is actually willing to play, and only attackers "with a death wish" seemingly have use of it, so this entire scene is brain dead.

I feel like it's quite the missed opportunity to not have Elymas try to steal the skill book from his father. I'd have loved to see him come up with a plan and then possibly end up in a fight with Malice. Though, I still like the way they introduced Luce (even if the pacing was horrible T_T)

@Love_And_Forward To be fair... he grabbed her when she was trying to run after them, and looked like a complete psycho doing it.

I started laughing hysterically with how it is was adapted. Oh, and 1/4th of the episode being frame filler isn't the manga's fault.

5/5 episode, mainly because of what happened at the cliffhanger, the heroine, Luce, finally met the protagonist, Elymas. Goodness gracious, I was about to run out of patience, pun intended. Anyway, I can't wait to see what Elymas will do now that he has Luce by his side.

@Love_And_Forward actually, the anime reinforced this sensation, in the manga they don't try to make it look like he was abusing her or something like that. The manga tries to show a funny scene, not a weird one.

At a high-level it's interesting and ok story-wise, although the slowness and recaps are still noticeable (even if it wasn't as bad this episode).

The MC is a massive nerd for asking the shopkeeper "Wait, isn't that illegal? πŸ€ͺ" when she gave him a tip about where to buy skill books. That conversation then seemed to transition into over exposition though πŸ™ƒ

@Ivanictor @LostSpectre - the question about the manga was actually a serious one, I haven't been able to read it. I was just wondering if the source material is so meager that they somehow needed to pad it with bullshit to make a show. I see it has 170-something chapters as of now tho.

This anime probably has one of the worst anime directors of the industry. He makes it look like he didn't want to get 26 eps to adapt this manga because the climax he wants to adapt in the end of the season is actually close. He wasted half episode with flashbacks and useless scenes showing the scenery and some useless talks among figurants. He even repeated the scenery scenes to fill the time in the episode. This could have finished after Elymas and Luce finished talking without any problems to the episode, but GoHands prefered to waste more time to have Elymas grabbing Luce's hand as the final scene. The execution was so bad that they turned a scene that was supposed to be funny into a weird, almost abusive one.

Calm ep

Cashier a real one for telling Elymas the secret passage.

Lucky asf that he found one, but damn, granny tweaking with those prices.

Damn, they did Ruche dirty by kicking the out the party like that.

Looks like Elymas found the right person to help him get the skill book in a more efficient way.

Bro looks like a crazed animal, lol.

7/10

Glad the fashion of picking a current anime to bitch about didn’t die with OPM πŸ˜‚
The repeated scenes are annoying but only waste a few minutes a week, the animation style is colourful and dynamic but apparently it’s cool to join the bleating herd and call it trash.
Otherwise it’s a great fun fairly generic isekai.

Glad you’re acting out your username. How? Something can be both of those things. Although the word great is used as an adjective for fun, not as a standalone. I think the brain that sadly passed away is in your skull tbh.

Damn, they stretched out that confrontation scene for SO LONG and then they flashback to the thing that happened 30 seconds ago. They're obviously trying to save money by repeating scenes because they can't keep up with their style of animation for a full episode length. It's frustrating cause I actually want to know how the story will go on, maybe I'll just look for the source material?
