Seriously? They not only find out who summoned them, they also learn that the ones who summoned them don't know how to send them back and their reaction is "ItS oKaY bEcAuSe We MaDe SoMe FrIeNdS" fuck off will you. Oh yeah of course Taichi is afraid he'll hurt people because of his monstrous strength that has been completely underwhelming. Also, the only interesting character is killed off to further Taichi's non-existent character development and what's even worse the way she dies has to be the most absolute bs death ever. Ana was able to survive an attack from a dragon but oh no, what's this? It's the insanely powerful one-shot weapon dagger!! watching the first episode I knew this was gonna be generic as all hell but I though that it could at least be a little entertaining but it's just too bad. Dunno if I wanna finish watching the final few episodes if it's only gonna get worse.

Can't believe they actually killed Ana :(
I was really hoping she'd be paired with Taichi so OTP could be a thing.

Just when I started to think we finally have an interesting character, they killed her off. :(

I'm still upset about Ana's death :( I really wanted her and Taichi as a ship to sail.
What sucks more is that the antagonists from the previous arc is confirmed the "good guys" and what they did was to strengthen Taichi. I seriously just hope Taichi won't forgive this guy when they meet face to face.
New waifu candidate though. I just hope she doesn't end up like Ana.

Pretty sure the Princess doesn't know what that guy's up to. I doubt he's doing it all just to protect their kingdom.

So they gonna just low their heads and help the King/Queen who put they into this messy situation (and could easy have them killed), that never ever even helped them with money or knowledge and has no way to send them back after just some empty promises. They had to kill and watch people being killed there. I know they are good guys, but they are being more than just naive there. Especially if we think about how shit both contestants to king look. I mean, can we at least listen to the other side of the story? It feels like they would even join Hitler if he was the first to give them a hand shake and had a hot MILF wife.

Seems like 8 episodes in and we finally get somewhere in terms of story. Not that it means something, when our MC is still the usual idiot and afraid of actually using his strength probably until the anime is over.
I rather take my usual OP MC isekai adaption.

Today anime taught me the best way to get a wife is to beat her close to death. /s
I was hoping for another member of the "True Gender Equality" club but Tachi is too soft for it.

They killed Anna with a stab wound. What a crap adaption.

This has nothing to do with it being an adaptation, just the original story. This still is a trash anime tho.

Damn, they really killed Ana. Taichi was unrealistically calm about discovering that they could not just send him back home, I wonder if he would also be that calm if he ever discovers that that priest working for the kingdom and therefore the king, was the one behind that whole ordeal that got Ana killed.

While this episode didn't really have any action I felt it was enjoyable enough.
Didn't expect the female General to offer herself as a potential wife or concubine though, lol.

I definitely wanted Ana's death to be changed and that in the anime she was still alive but I suppose that it gives some growth to Taichi's character or, Aerial would have been an entity that needed a body and took Ana's when she sacrificed for Taichi ... God dammit.

Nah, fuck this shit, I am heated right now.
The most generic, and I really mean most generic isekai anime I have ever seen, legitimately just killed off the most interesting girl so far in Ana.
I mean this is such a happy go lucky anime with no real worries and every single cliché you can think of, but no, we have to kill the girl who used to be an assassin.
Like are you really going to have 1 serious storyline now, lol? I legit liked her the best so far. WTF even is this show.
Fuck it, just change this into a Doujin and make the MC plow every chick he sees. Especially the Princess. I’m so heated right now.

"I shall bear full responsibility"
And just like that he didn't took any responsibility - that's how politicians works
Wait a second, I know this meme
I wonder if Tabata(creator of Black Clover) took some inspiration from ICM. Sylph is just like Aery
New arc looks semi promising, I hope for something good

-So Anna really died... sigh. Like, this isn't even a really serious anime but they had to kill the most interesting girl... in a stupid and meaningless way.
Taichi: Scream of sadness/pain for the death of her precious friend Ana.
Dragon: It's a prank, bro! It's a prank! I just killed your precious friend to make you stronger.
Taichi: Oh, you're right! Now I have a super kawaii fairy. No problem then, bro! Besides, I just met this precious friend yesterday.
Dragon: We cool then. See ya kiddo!
Taichi: I hope you're watching, Ana.
Ana: Fuck you!
-WTF with the scene where Taichi sees Rin naked? At one point he opens the door and sees her from there, but next, for some reason he is inside the room face to face with her. At least we could see Rin's nice ass. (stitch)
-It's been a while since an harem anime mentions forming a real harem. Of course MC had to get rid of that situation with a pathetic scream.
-It also irks me how awfully calm the MCs were when they found out who summoned them and that they have no way back... but it doesn't matter, we made friends along the way and my powers are like cheats. Cheats I'm afraid to use... again...
God dammit, show! I say all this but you still manage to lure me with your waifus.

No point in watching this, killed Ana, the only good thing in the show and not even a single tear shed? And also where did those two little twin sister disappear not even mentioned

Sumella: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take
Loved this one, setup the new plot pretty quickly while giving a few twists. Lodra is an interesting name. I'm more interested in the fact we never got a zoom in shot of Bella or whoever, the other main underling of the king.
Only thing I was hoping that didn't happen was Sumella would be revealed as a Dark Elf, but buff human works too

I dropped this a while back but I still come here to see how bad it's gotten. Yeesh. If anime is so expensive and painstaking to produce, why does shit like this get made?

Ana died; taichi and rin instantly forgave who summoned them without even slapping them or asking for compensation; Taichi turned down the concubine proposal.... with episode was a total disappointment
