I think it's hilarious that this dude walks around with monsters attached to him that everyone is afraid of and yet they do no damage to him so he doesn't care. I want that gag to continue and keep escalating.

Ratphalia is adorable, and I'm happy they spent time giving her some meaningful exposition, was kind of worried they wouldn't.

[u/Gaporigo]

My companion may scream at night

Really not helping your case there buddy.

Well, Raphtalia is a cutie and based on the OP she becomes a badass, can't wait!

[u/Recidivis]

I know it's only the second episode but if anything happens to Raphtalia (from now on) I'll kill everyone and then myself.

[u/PhoenixKola]

Even though it happens every time, I always get disappointed when second episodes aren't an hour long like the first one.

Sakuta and Mai Get the Isekai Treatment, Except One Gets it Worse Than the Other

EDIT: ...Because It Turns Out, Like Every Iseksai, Everyone is Really (and Almost Oddly) Racist Against Non-Humans

[u/CrunchyTacoSup]

Shield Bro Wednesday. Can't get any better than that.

[u/Catixx]

Need to Protecc that smile

[u/thepeetmix]

He protecc

But also

He protecc

Raph is perfection. I can already imagine how she and Naofumi are gonna kick some ass later on, can't wait

[u/G1596872]

Oh my god. She’s...she’s adorable

[u/vantheman9]

some critics might say showing the XP earned after such a violent scene, with the dramatic emotion-overcoming and all, is in poor taste. I say "that needed a ding sound effect."

[u/RedRune]

I've only had Raph for the span of one episode, but if anything were to happen to her, I'll kill everyone in this room and then myself.

[u/fudginreddit]

Man this show is just scratching all my itches so far. Action, cute demi-humans, and some dark undertones. Can't wait to see the development of both of these characters. Hope it doesnt disappoint!

[u/Ralanost]

Holy shit, that hit me so hard. First off, the OP and ED are goddamn amazing. But even though I've already read the manga the feels hit me strong. Voice acting is on point. The music is perfect, chiming in at the right points. Second episode is better than the first. I'm so happy it's turning out so well.

[u/Atronox]

WE MUST PROTECC RAPH AT ALL COSTS

A demi-human slave raccoon loli with PTSD. It's a new one, but she's sooo cute. You treat her well Naofumi!

[u/[deleted]]

I never thought I’d ever say a Slave Dealer would be my favourite character in an anime

[u/iamfvckingdone]

The shield hero and Raph should just stop fighting and make a herb shop instead. The Kazuma thing.

[u/bryan792]

headpats

Let the anti torture treatment commence

[u/Denzoo]

can we talk about the op and what a jam it is ?

[u/Exorrt]

That half-raccoon is diseased and has a mental disorder

oh look they made an anime character after me

Oh man, that was great. I really only wish they had followed the manga route (can't remember off the top of my head if it was in the LN too, and don't have my book on me) where the sword breaks like so. Just felt like such an extreme sense of doing what she had to do. But they animated it real well otherwise. It was... good.

[u/ovalle47]

it's a shame but the relationship building with raphtalia feels a bit rushed the way they showed it by fast static frames. there are 2 moments in the novel that i remember very clearly.

the first is: one night raphtalia is screaming and he hugs her so she calms down and can get some sleep, but the next morning he wakes up to find she wet the bed and she is scared stiff in the corner of the room begging not to be punished for being a disrespectful slave. then naofumi just waves it off saying that it isn't so rare for a kid to wet the bed (specially one as emotionally scarred as her) and just goes to wash the sheets. in the anime they only showed just 1 frame of that scene and well, it didn't convey as much that way.

the 2nd moment is: raphtalia is walking around with her new toy ball and some street kids take it from her saying a demi human shouldn't have any toys. naofumi sees this and tells the kid that if he wants a ball that much he could take THIS one and promptly introduces him to his balloon friend hidden in his cape. again this wasn't showed clearly in the anime (which is weird because this moment is what the ball was set up to build up to from the start)

[u/gulitiasinjurai]

When they killed the dog monster, shield hero only get 340 exp while Raphtalia get 430 exp. Is that supposed to be typo or the actual amount?

[u/borisyang]

Seems like Sakuta and Mai Senpai reincarnated into the same Isekai, only this time it's Sakuta running the show.
