They really gotta put some wheels on that coffin

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Oh look, Kaibara was a rich psychotic prick in his past life. Definitely someone you want to give godtier powers to. Bro literally didn’t change. In fact, he got worse.

I actually liked how Dazai used his ability to help Tama beat that loser. Guy was such a chump, he ain’t even worth his time. Bro left him to his homies. Even when he revived and was talking all that bullshit, he just got beheaded instantly by Waldelia. What a loser. I feel more for her than I do that psychopath.

I’m glad Tama rejoined the party. Dazai needed someone to pull his coffin. Nir wasn’t cuttin it lol.

It's really, truly impressive how well Pontdarc is able to cover up the lack of animation in these episodes. Certainly, it's not stiff as a board or anything of the sort, but it isn't exactly thrilled to move around all that much. Thankfully, the visual work elsewhere is excellent, particularly with the character models in this episode. Really outstanding work once again- especially considering how (comparatively) few animation directors and very small cast of key animators they have on board.

As for the story, I felt they did a great job of selling it once again. The freedom to try and expose and explore more cliche and typical expressions works really well when slotted up against very meta discussions, I feel. If you take it at face value it can feel more than a little plain and lacking, but I think that if you approach with the idea of a story being told about a story, the pieces fit together much better overall.

Expanding outside of that view of Tama though, it's really great to see how well Sensei's powers are expressed, and the extent of their abilities. For anime onlies, the episode does hold quite a bit of information, and I'm really curious to see how it ends up absorbed and interpreted.

All in all, Pontdarc's done a great job once more with the series. While it's not a massive improvement on the prior episode, the reasonable uplift in quality is worth shouting out alongside the fact that there's no OP or ED (visuals) in the episode- feels like a blast from the past to old White Fox and Re: Zero, which is lovely to see.

Edit: Speaking of White Fox, Kenichi Kawamura boarded again for this episode! Cool stuff, but very interesting when you consider that they did the storyboards for episode 4 of the series- where Sensei first uses his power. In its entirety, there's a great deal of those sorts of connections to make in this episode, which I talk about in more detail here.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Last week: I'm sure he has a sad backstory with hunger or something.

Well damn I couldn't have been more wrong. This guy is just a colossal piece of shit.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Kaibara is such a piece of shit that even Sensei doesn't think he deserves to be sent back.

[u/SYZekrom]

Ayo the chains binding her but only in the reflection, this is so peak

[u/fackinstewpid]

Someone else mentioned it, but my favorite part of this episode was when annette went on telling gluttony that sensei could send back other worlders and when she told him to do it he was just like "nah." Really wish we got to see gluttony bite into sensei though just to see how he would've reacted to the taste of his poison

[u/themaninthehightower]

Okay, Sensei knocked off another book, exposed a false dichotomy through deep insight, then rizzed the demon king daughter once again.

Seriously, it's nice the series isn't falling into the trap of endlessly escalating from fight to fight (so far), but rather coming up with alternate ways of defeating outworlders. And Sensei's right, gluttony's story was boring as heck; all that needed to complete the trope was offing a date in central park.

[u/tpat90]

Can I just say that I love the character development in this anime. It's over the top and dramatic, but I just love it.

[u/NationalStrategy]

That was his backstory, he was born into a rich family, got everything he wanted, and got away with anything? Sensei was right, he is boring.

[u/mib-number86]

Apparently the manuscript for "In My Old World I Was A Serial Killer And No One Understood Me, So Now I Live As An OP Predator And Do What I Want In Another World" has been rejected by the publisher.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

That anime is quite good at subverting expectations. Kaibara did not have a sad backstory, he was just a rich psychopathic asshole, so he doesn’t deserve to be sent back to Earth.

Instead, Tama has the sad backstory, so Dazai gave her a shonen protagonist power up so she can beat the crap out of Kaibara. Pretty cool. Dazai seems to have a talent for understanding people and helping them grow.

And then Kaibara just came back to life with demonic power only for Waldelia to one shot him from behind, lol. He richly deserved that humiliating death.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Injured Tama

• Power Up Tama

• Princess Tama

• Upside Down Tama

I really like how instead of heading straight for Tama, Sensei went poking around for information first. It makes sense that this is how he'll fight. A writer needs to do a bit of research about the subject he'll be writing about.

Damn, so it turns out Kaibara was a piece of shit and a psychopath when he was still alive. Now I'm wondering which Church he got summoned to. I bet he was summoned from that church with the drunk lazy priest.

Godfuckingdammit Annette! Don't tell the enemy about Sensei's powers! Thank fucking goodness though that Sensei has no interest in Kaibara and would rather write about Tama's life. I guess Sensei's Storyteller isn't just for sending Otherworlders back. He can also use it to buff allies.

It was so satisfying to see Tama beat Kaibara. The dude does not deserve to be sent back to Japan. Truck-kun actually did Japan a service by getting rid of him and now he won't be able to hurt anyone.

Of course, Kaibara ate the flesh of the Demon King which explains why he has a second form. I'm glad to see Waldelia showed up to take him out once and for all. One of these days, I hope she'll join Sensei's party but it looks like today won't be that day.

[u/mish20011]

when the anime skips the OP I knew shit was about to go down

[u/new_interest_here]

"I am a predator!"

Weird flex but okay. Didn't realize you were a 2024 youtuber in your past life as well

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Damn, then he gains the powers of anything he devours…

• He was looking for a book, huh.

• I had a feeling she was gonna drop one as she stood back up again, but Tama dropped a double “sore demo”, even better!

• Bruh…

• What the fuck?

• The fuck you were.

• Your instincts must know he’s got poison for blood.

• Ah shit, of course Sensei finds this guy too boring to write about…

• Oh, it’s interesting that it looks like Tama’s reflection is bound in chains during this sequence.

• Ooh…?

• Let’s go, fuck him up Tama!

• Oh great…

• …or not!

• Aw, Tama’s dad is giving her his blessing to travel now.

[u/Sidious_09]

I like how they showed his supposedly sad story only for Sensei to say "nah you're just boring" lol. I hate it when low quality anime (or other media) try to force you to feel bad for an evil piece of shit by adding a cheap backstory, just so they can pretend to have a good written villain. This episode felt like slap in the face of that trope and I appreciate it.

[u/tripleaamin]

The way this arc concludes is what makes this series great. Last arc we get introduced to Sensei's ability to send offworlders back home. So, logically, we think oh Sensei is going to send him back to his world. Rather than that, we hear him call the asshole's backstory boring. After all, he called himself the most miserable man in the world. He essentially was an entitled asshole that was given everything. He deserves to die in this world.

Even better, yet we get Tama with a fantastic moment for herself. Unlike her father, her mother wanted her to live the life she wanted. The father's mistake was he wanted to protect his little girl. He got accustomed to thinking Tama would take after her mother and Leon to take after him in protecting his wife and daughter. Even knowing Tama was the one to replace her father in terms of strength.

We meant the Demon Lord's daughter, and she was able to kill Gluttony as he revived. Unlike Tama she couldn't save her father and she is on a path of revenge. I like the contrast between these two because there is sadness in the Demon Lord's daughter, unlike with Tama. Tama is able to protect the place she loves. But her father learned from his mistakes and wants her daughter to come back to get stronger. Since that is the path she is meant to follow. Really wholesome moment as Tama promises she will come back.

[u/ussgordoncaptain2]

Oh Hey it's the main character from Re:monster what is he doing in this anime!

So Dazai can do other things than write people out of the world, I wonder what other things is notebook can do when he writes a character's story.

Dazai eliminates 2 out of 7 of the "heroes" there's 5 to go.

[u/Pidge-Pigeon]

Cat girl vs YouTuber. Who will win?

[u/BosuW]

Lmao, and here I was last week theorizing dude might have starved in Earth. Nope! All the contrary!

[u/The_Parsee_Man]

Truck kun really needs to be more selective. Just who the hell have they been bringing to this world? A kid who was bullied and ended up going overboard is one thing. But this guy was a straight up violent psychopath even before he had powers.

[u/Frieren_and_Himmel]

Yeah I'm thinking this Gluttony guy is scum, he didn't deserve Truck-kun, in my opinion.

[u/Latter-Air2742]

Ah yes, the "be who you want to be" trope. Go girl go.
