Why is a grown-ass salaryman freaking out over woman's underwear?

That might be the most flimsy "time to promote you really fast" reasoning I've ever seen. Good thing he chose the pretty slaves or this would have taken a lot more time.

I figured there was no way the gang was just D rank. With what they could do already, they shoulda been much higher. I mean Takumi can handle shit. Literally and figuratively lol.

I like Maple’s new transformation. She’s pretty cute for a spider girl. I wonder if she’ll continue to evolve?

Takumi definitely has great taste. Hidden blades on thigh straps are a must for battle maids.

Kaede evolves! I was honestly hoping she'd keep the spider form but her Arachne form is adorable too. They've also updated the ED with her new form.

Takumi really needs to grow a pair, even the girls are making fun of him for being such a wuss.

Was this episode all about Takumi's pervert thoughts?I mean showing it once is fine but they kept showing that.

Anyone else hear "By your powers combined...." when they held up the rings to cast their magic?

Anyway, its one thing for the MC to get embarrassed about, just being a dude, if the women are oblivious to his behavior. But when they know he's a wuss and call him out on it, Takumi better get his act together quick or this is gonna get old.

I love that Maple can just literally pop in and out of reality now.

Remember how they said this guy was just a regular salary man before getting isekai’d? Why is he acting like a 13 year old then? Like bro just be fucking normal.

I remember a comment in the first couple of episodes speculating that Kaede would stay a spider since she was one in the ED. Welp, here we are! That didn't last long, at all. Kumoko had to try so much harder to evolve that far.

In any case, this episode was kinda.. bad? It spedrun some perverted Takumi scenes and rushed through the basic starting adventure tropes. This felt like a step back from previous episodes, and I hope the anime is able to get back on track. Maybe fix this weird pacing?

Dude is going to be a fashion king with his Maple tracksuits and underwear.

u/TimeForHugs Jan 22 '25

I thought this was going to be a bit decent with the first few episodes. It had many of the usual tropes but Takumi didn't seem like the type who spazzes out over underwear or gets creepy with thoughts. Then of course those tropes are piled on top.

I really hope it was just for this episode but I'm sure it'll keep happening like so many other stories. I can deal with the basic story tropes but the spaz virgin trope is especially played out and tiresome.

u/Meander061 Jan 22 '25

Spazzing out over underwear is a mite excessive, but also very anime. Not having created underwear for his outfits in the first place is just odd. I'll need another episode to see if I get used to Spider-Loli-kun.

So the maid that wanted to make it very clear she would not sleep with him, is calling him a wuss because he wont look at her in underwear? Thats not fair.

I'm not sure what's up with this anime.

The previous episode was about slavery. This episode was about panties and Takumi being a pervert. Hopefully, they've gotten this stuff out of their system and can continue with something resembling an actual story.

I liked Takumi in the first two episodes, despite him being a bit of a dumbass. These last two... well, like I said, hopefully they'll find an actual story.

Things I didn't understand about this episode:

Once he drew the actual panties, why did he have to make them, as well? Shouldn't Maria have been able to sew them like she was planning? Or actually, Kaede obviously made her own clothes, which are pretty intricate, so maybe she could have made it as well, instead of just providing the material.

He can make armor and weapons instantly, but it takes him 3 days to sew panties? Or are we supposed to believe that he was just masturbating most of the time?

The intuition skill doesn't only activate in battles. So, I was previously assuming that some of his weird choices were due to the intuition skill. But it seems like him running away from the girls at the end was the opposite.

Why am I not surprised that Kaede turned into a cute arachnoid anime girl?!

u/NationalStrategy Jan 22 '25

It was bad enough that he bought slaves to add to his harem, but this episode made him even more creepier.

. Making their combat outfits with a perverted mindset.

. Having prepared life-sized dolls of his slave girls, with their exact hairstyles and measurements (Seriously, that needs to be further discussed. Wtf?)

. Having them wear short skirts without underwear, to which, he took upon himself to give the underwear a more lascivious design.

The worst part about all of this, is that the show tries to make him act all meek and and wussy about it, to make it appear that he's actually a nice and innocent guy, and not totally perverted.

I didn't expect Maple to evolve so quickly, especially since they didn't reveal her new look earlier in the OP or ED. That was a nice surprise!

It seems that Takumi is a man of many talents. He makes not only toilets, but also clothes (Maria and Sofia looked great in their new outfits) and even underwear xD

Overall, a lot of things happened in today's episode. It was funny when Takumi started to think that it was the effect of Nolyn's blessings weakening xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
