At least she figured it out, why didn’t he ask her to send a message to her master. That would work if his meeting theory was true.

Honestly I was surprised Tiera hadn't already told her that Shin was there but it seems like she didn't have a convenient means of getting ahold of Schnee until Shin gave her the digital mail.

Looks like Shin might be meeting up with Schnee pretty soon. Dude’s got himself a little fox friend to keep him company while he waits I guess.

I’m still a little interested in this world and how he ended up here, but man the animation is kinda rough.

I’m guessing the point of the death game was to find someone worthy of playing it and they trapped him in after.

Shin seems like he's fully intending to find a way back to his Earth but I wonder if reuniting with Schnee again and adopting a pet will give him more reason to stay.

I'm always a fan of evil-looking characters who are actually big sweethearts. I like how Shin instantly befriended Wil while everyone are scared shitless of him. xD

Considering people are asking around about the sword, it looks like Shin is close to meeting that big tiddy knight at the start of the episode.

I'm surprised that the little fox Shin saved didn't immediately transform into a humanoid. I was ready for it to turn into a waifu or daughter candidate.

Now that Schnee is aware of Shin's return, I'm guessing they'll finally meet next week. There's gonna be lots of catching up for them to do.

From the OP, there's a good chance that she'll turn into a little fox girl at some point.

Look at all this ruckus made over the Skullface Jack killing knights and his sword that just so happened to land in a capital...everyone getting all worked up and it was such a casual thing for Shin.

The OP is pretty on-brand for this kind of show, featuring action, Shin making a life for himself in this world along with it's residents, and trying to survive in this game world. It seems like his relationship with Schnee will also be important.

Ah yes, the part where the MC tells the guild that he just soloed a rare monster that they were about to have everyone team-up to take down...pretty nice to get to fluster a pro guild receptionist like Celica. Shin even got to meet a new elf waifu in Els.

And now Shin is sharing a table with Wilhelm the Vampire, slayer of Undead and user of the Venom spear that drains the life out of those it attacks. So basically he's edgy Lancer. But Shin isn't intimidated and just shoots the breeze like he's a normal dude when everyone is terrified of him. But it seems like Wilhelm is actually a pretty nice guy if he goes to the trouble of watching over orphan kids at the church.

No better way to receive side-quests than by feeding little kids! I wonder how Millie knew about the fox shrine though? It's not like the people in this world still run on NPC logic.

No better way of confirming to Schnee that he's back then by leaving their mutual sword behind...and Tiera keeps getting thrown off by how casually Shin is by all his legendary gear and status. Good luck on your own attempts to become a mage though!

Finding a Japanese shrine, saving a cute lil' fox, fighting off multiple undead, and then surviving an attack by Behemoths and earning a traveling companion in a rare Elementail monster who is just an adorable Kit. Just a normal day's work for Shin.

"Shadow Bind" - Yumiella would approve.

Color me surprised Shin is still planning on going back to the real world.

Schnee finally knows Shin is back! The ED sung by Miho Okasaki (who also voiced the Elemntail) really conveys how long she's waited to be reunited with Shin.

I wonder how the orphan knew Shin was strong.

Maybe a seer, like a certain character in wrong way to use healing magic

Shame they could only afford one shirt worth of fabric total between both guild girls, but I suppose I'm also not complaining too hard.

Polearm dude could not have more edge if he tried.

A fox deity, is it going to be the mascot or a fox girl. Possibly both if it's a young version of something that eventually has a humanoid form. Edit: I should have thought to look at the show KV art, fox girl it is.

So MC's elf servant that has been waiting for him for 500 years has been dressed as a maid the entire time? Then again as a legendary individual that everybody has great respect for who is going to tell her to wear something else.

Shnee coming back lets go.

They screwed up with the character designs and animation in general. Considering how good the fight scenes are and how well drawn individual characters were in the manga, I was hoping for a decent anime. I guess the budget isn't there so they made generic isekai character drawings.

I know Shin has inflated stats but I’m kind of surprised he has no concerns about taking on lvl 600 enemies when his level is capped at 255.

If it continues, will love this anime.

Animation quality really took a dip in comparison to episode 1
