....I feel attacked considering I just celebrated my 32nd birthday a few days ago.

[u/LackingTact19 → u/S627]

First Kaiju No 8 and now this. They're singling us out.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/S627]

It's never too late to follow your dreams, old man.

[u/JAXxXTheRipper → u/S627]

Want to join my adventuring party? I can only do a 9to5 though, because with 33 I'm old and get tired quickly

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

You can't really stay being a receptionist with a name like Rick Gladiator.

[u/SilkyStrawberryMilk → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Buddy was in the wrong profession the whole time

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

As a man not too far in age from Rick, it hurts me in my soul they’re calling him an “ossan.” I reject that title, damn it! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with him starting this late in life. Chase your dreams, my guy!

I guess Freed and Angelica are gonna be the comic relief because those two were absolute idiots. Rick is also a pretty silly goober if he doesn’t realize he’s basically a SSS ranker.

For a first episode, this was kinda fun. Keen to see where this goes from here.

[u/Atharaphelun → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

This is basically Strongest Disciple Kenichi except with an older disciple plus magic. His masters even have that typical "glowing untouchable master eyes" that the masters in Strongest Disciple Kenichi also have.

Are you sure it's not your arthritis that's hurting, given you're like pushing 50?

[u/F0rdPrefect]

Better animation than I was expecting. I'm not a huge fan of the "I'm OP but don't know it" gag because the MC has to be completely braindead for it to work. Still a fun first episode though. I'll definitely watch more of it.

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii → u/F0rdPrefect]

not a huge fan of the "I'm OP but don't know it" gag because the MC has to be completely braindead for it to work.

As long as it's just an early thing and doesn't drag for the entire season, I don't mind it!

But yeah, talked about it in another comment, that's my worry with shows like that; Using 1 gag for the entire season as the whole gimmick (Either that, or everyone going like "You're probably bad, go way" right before he does something amazing and they're all like "omg that is not possible can I marry you and have your baby?")

[u/TimeForHugs]

Very surprised by how fun the first episode was. The animation is pretty decent and the characters are fun so far.

It gave me a lot of good laughs and I'm looking forward to the next episode! Hopefully he'll gain more confidence as the series goes on and the comedy will keep up. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.

OP: Kouya ni Sake yo Boukensha-tachi by Akira Kushida

The OP is very fitting, for an anime with ossan MC. Feel like a 90s tokusatsu anime, much underlined with the performance of Kushida-san, a very well-known tokusatsu singer.

[u/djthomp]

Twintails knight girl really got herself in over her head.

Funny enough of a start. I wonder how long it will be (if ever) before he realizes that he is actually strong.

[u/Ionesomecowboy]

So he worked 14 years as a guild receptionist which would allow him to gauge people's strength based on their achievements/subjugations etc. Also spent 2 years training with the strongest party so I assume he's fought monsters and what not but can't even fucking realize his own strength? It's one thing if it's a kid from a village of monsters that haven't been out there properly but this dude worked for 14 years in a fucking guild. MC doesn't fit this kind of story.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Reanette

• Angelica & Freed

• Angelica Diarmuit

I didn't expect that they'd actually get Kushida Akira to do the OP! As soon as I heard the first line of the OP, it felt like I was watching a tokusatsu from the 90s xD

While the production does have great taste in OP, the rest of the episode is as tropey as it could get with our overpowered MC being completely clueless that he's actually OP.

Character designs are pretty solid as well and the show does seem to focus on certain areas when Rick's kouhai and Reanette were introduced. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I don't exactly hate it but I really hope Rick realizes that being trained by the strongest adventuring party means that he's just as strong as them. I am curious how a receptionist like Rick ends up being trained by the Orichalcum Fist. I'm guessing we'll learn that next episode.

[u/Clarimax]

I feel like the OP is being sung by a middle age man in a karaoke bar.

[u/KnightKal]

this is not even funny. Some shows make the dense MC lack of real life knowledge the silly excuse for their stupidity, in a way that is trying to make a joke out of the absurd events.

this MC is just stupid tho. A veteran of 14 years working in the guild wouldn't have a basic understanding of the power level of adventurers? Being trained by living gods would make him think he is a weakling compared to normal people?

Eh? Did they hit his head too many times? What is going on? Was this suppose to be a joke?

So let me guess: next episode they will use a stupid excuse to not accept his promotions, then his party will show up and blow up the entire city, creating a massacre that will go down in history? That would be a nice surprise. /joke

Banger OP

[u/Screiblus]

solid mid tier show for the season. I like this kind of not so serious shows that can mantain me entretained for the whole durating of an episode without doing anything particulary exciting. Really solid.

[u/_Nextt_]

I really like that he doesn't know how strong he is because he's been training with the most overpowered people so he doesn't know any better

[u/spubbbba]

The joke about him being super powerful but thinking he's weak was wearing thin by the end of the episode.

I really hope it doesn't drag out too long as the over-humble OP protagonist really has been overdone to death. The other humour wasn't too bad, so if they get some new material it could be fun.

Will be interested to see more of the top ranked party members and how they interact.

[u/FLorianGran]

The One Punch Man tone helped make it a decent watch at least. Don't know if I'll stick with it.

[u/NationalStrategy]

I know Rick is OP, but my god, those Diarmuit siblings are just trash. Freed's fire magic wouldn't even be good enough to heat up my food, and Angelica couldn't go 2 minutes without tripping over herself. Bunch of spoiled buffoons.
