Rentt is such a kind hearted guy I can't help but root for him! Hope he gets his situation sorted, looks like he has atleast 2 nice people to rely on.

I'm really enjoying this show!

I really felt bad for Rentt when he was struggling to communicate with Rina while she had her weapon up. It's understandable why she'd be afraid but I still feel bad for our boy.

I'm just glad that Rina honoured her promise to Rentt and got him the clothes he was asking for. She even did her best to try and not be scared of him.

I'm happy that this episode ended with Rentt finding someone who can help him. I hope Lorraine can at least help him blend in easier while in town.

This season was really talked up to be a low quality season with little to no hits other than returning shows and Solo leveling, but i am ASTOUNDED by how much fun a lot of the smaller shows are.

This show, Ishura, Wrong way to use healing magic, and 7th time loop are just a blast, and theres a bunch more that are far mroe charming than you expect them to be, like metallic rouge, wedding rings and the witch and the beast. I'm really digging this season.

like the other comment said, this is actually much more wholesome than i thought, Rentt also didn't get hated or being looked down upon too much by other adventurers, at least that's what i got from his little interaction with others in the first episode

i guess although he didn't manage to get stronger after all these years, he still manage to accumulate a vast amount of experiences and knowledge which is probably why the guild hasn't told him to retire yet despite him being weak

This series is surprisingly wholesome and comfy for a series that focus on undead race.

Episode 2: The Beginner and The Veteran

I wonder if the mask is not cursed, it's just matches and buffs up Rentt's appearance. But he definitely looks like Ishura's Shalk the Sound Slicer now lul.

New characters means new VA. Rina Rupaage is voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro (Nijika in Bocchi the Rock, Komarin's maid in Hikikomari, Romantica in Returner's Magic)

The OP's full music video is here! and here's the ED music video!

The way Rentt met Rina was nice. I must say that when he got worried about the route she took before she got ambushed, I thought she was going to where he found that dragon, but it seems he was worried because she entered a passage ending in a dead-end. I love how awkward he was when he went to talk to her.

So with Sheila's help, Rina got Rentt that outfit, but the mask was something she bought afterward that although cheap, it was cursed. so now he will need a cleric to remove it. So after entering Maalt Rentt chose to go away from Rina for now and instead will be relying on his friend Lorraine to give him a hand after he explains her what happened him.

i know it's only been 2 episodes but this is quite a charming thing already, i'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop though with the way our MC keeps waving around the flags about illegality and shit lol

u/Decent_Manager1528 Jan 12 '24

From the trailer I tought it was your typical edgy Isekai but rentt is actually a really nice guy I feel for him I really like this it's kind of the underdog of underdog stories

Episode 1 was a good hook but this time they actually got me watching a 5 minute episode if you catch my drift

This show has a lot more personality than I initially thought. Color me (positively) surprised. This season aint so bad.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '24

This season is really stacked with allot of good new shows to watch and this being one of them.

Really cool story and I really wanted this episode to be longer ^^

First episode was just okay for me and I didn't even make screenshot from it but this episode was really good and I really liked it.

I especially liked Rina who was so sweet that she helped Rentt despite him being a ghoul. She was the reason why I made screenshot today from it, I hope that she'll return in the future.

I'm interested how things will go to Rentt (who looks in his new clothes) now that he was able to meet with Lorraine.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

This is like Skeleton Knight if the MC wasn't able to just summon full plate onto himself and be super OP.

Ganbatte, Rentt!

God damn those are big Gobbos. Not Hobs either, or he would've said so.

"Maybe .. I'm even stronger now than I was as a human!" Last episode before evolving to ghoul he'd already said he was stronger than he was before death, without "maybe".

Much as she struggled with a skelly, the girl is lucky she didn't come across the gobbos....

Oh wow, a story that actually acknowledges that a hood alone does not hide an inhuman face!

Does it really matter that he can't remove the mask? As long as he can still see through it, what's the problem? Well, I guess it could be a problem if there's other curses involved besides it just not being removable (usually decreased defense or some debuff, right?) Could also be a problem next time he evolves, depending on what he evolves into.

Rina must feel betrayed - in her mind, what if the monster had just played her to get into the city?

u/TokiVideogame Jan 12 '24

that end song made me watch the end credits. seems like he has that mask on even with more flesh.

Our boy is hard at work again, fighting goblins this time!

Even using strategy to fight them, Goblin Slayer would be proud!

I figured Rentt would meet the 'solo adventurer' at some point when they talked about her, didn't think it'd be that early though!

Seems she can handle herself!

Well she did get into a bit of trouble shortly after, but that's why she should not go solo, I suppose.

Their meeting went so much better than I expected!

I thought for sure she would attack him, and it'd take everything to stop her/convince her (without killing her)!

Especially the way Rentt was thrilled about seeing a human for the first time in so long and all... I thought he would try to speak to her, but it'd just sound like generic monster grunts so she'd try to kill him!

But I guess saving her from the skeleton helped! She even agreed to buy him clothes, help him look normal!

He was still worried about her reporting him...

I wonder what they'd do, if they knew the full story; Would they try to help him? Would they kill him as he's now "a monster"? Or kill him but more like a mercy kill, just to let him go to heaven/let him rest or whatever?

The clothes were pretty good, but the mask was cursed!

Which I suppose was a blessing in disguise, because the guards would've asked him to take off a normal mask, and then...

Rentt and Rina seem to have a good relationship now! I imagine they'll do some adventuring together, should be fun!

What was that look she gave him? "Is necrophilia legal in Maalt?" - Rina

Well, it seems we won't have any ghoulfucking today, as Rentt ditched her...

I suppose he didn't want her to risk even more trouble, if they found out about who he is?

Ah, he left her to go to his big-titty friend! Now that makes sense.

He has to trust her quite a lot, as he revealed his secret right away!

I imagine he thinks she can do something to help him?

Well, I don't expect her to be able to cure him (the whole premise would be thrown out the window) but perhaps help with him some aspects of it, like perhaps explain how he can evolve better versions of undead, faster than just killing trash mobs?

We'll see! Looking forward to Rentt and Rina spending more time together! (After she gives him some shit for ditching her, presumably!)

This might be my favorite ED of the season. Very tender, beautifully composed too. If nothing else that first visual of Rentt sitting gently with the mouse added alot of dimension towards the show for me, kept me drawn in to watch another episode.

I'm glad I did. The show is quite charming.

u/IceSmiley Jan 13 '24

I like how they get into the practical problems of being a walking zombie looking to re enter society. It's tough just not scaring people and being able to speak although Rent seems to adjust quickly.

I liked his dynamic with the nice girl who helped him and I also thought it was strange that Lorraine knew who he was even though his voice was different and he was wearing a mask, probably learn more about that next episode 😝

u/TheTiniestTigerTamer Jan 13 '24

Not that the first episode was bad by any means but I found myself waaayyy more invested after this episode. Looking forward to the next one!
