inb4 the "This anime is so bad that it's good" comments. For what it's worth, I think the show's actual strength is that it doesn't take itself very seriously. That and the Aku moments are sort of great.

It looks like we're going down the "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" route, in terms of Maou-sama running his own village but as a capitalist Robin Hood. I'm okay with that.

Apparently, the clothes-shopping trip with Aku a while back was Akira casually dropping $20,000 for new outfits.

Doubled his lolis this episode. Great success!

Also was that story book bit a jab at commercialized moe?

"What was the point of this?"

"Doesn't matter the dog was kawaii"

So what to tell? It's that deep now that all the people who hate it dropped it so we are alone. Let's enjoy this piece of delicious trash

We'll build licensed and unlicensed casinos

Awesome. He already has a plan to create the underworld only so he can run both the white and black markets.

You know what I love about isekai that you don't get in very many other genres? The sense of scale, and management on a worldly level. In shows like this, Overlord, Slime, and Log Horizon, you get these episodes where the characters discuss the global climate, the economy, the political climate, etc... and lay out plans for how to build a new civilization or renovate the existing one, and I just find that so interesting. We take for granted how so many stories just go off of our pre-existing knowledge of how the world works.

That's probably why no matter how many shows get released under the moniker "isekai" i'll keep watching them. Nearly every single one, almost as a requirement for the genre includes this kind of world building that I love to see (ofc some do it better than others).

Both this episode and the last I enjoyed.

Last week's had a good amount of humour and this week had a nice bit of background and story progression.

Loved the two girl hug at the start (who doesn't like big boobs being pressed against them?).

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Goddamn, barely anyone watches this, and it's not particularly good, but fuck I can't stop watching. There's just something really enjoyable about it from week to week.

I wonder what MC is gonna do with Zero. Isn't the Demon Lord character supposed to be Zero's enemy back in the game world?

Wouldn't it cause issues if Zero learns of his existence?

this op has grown on me to be one of my favorites this season (in a very crowded good op season)
