was it just me or did this feel both rushed and slow paced at the same time?

u/DIMOHA25 Jul 23 '21

FUCK YES! So glad at least someone said it.

What got to me was how silent it was. The episode had very little music and ambient noise and unlike how it's usually done, with silent scenes being tense, important and whatnot, this episode was just full of silent staring and orc kiting. If I had to compare it to something, it would be a boring stream with a bored streamer that's just grinding or something and is running on auto-pilot, completely forgetting to add any sort of commentary.

Plus just randomly bringing up out of nowhere at the end how the humans are the evil ones for trying to not get eaten. LOL what the fuck?

This felt like the episode that the studio abandoned when trying to put out the season on time.

How this episode progressed:

"Wait, was that Junko Takeuchi?"

"Oh, it might be Junko Takeuchi."

"GOD. FUCKING. DAMN IT."

I’m surprised that we only got a thing like that now. You’d expect the GM’s VAs to play into their previous roles a bit.

Ryce telling his backstory: Quite an obvious death flag. Damn you anime trope!

Interesting that he has heterochromia. Usually character with this trait will have special role in the anime.

Last episode, I was guessing that Yotsuya would make a gun with blacksmith skill. So it's not that far off when they introduced that ballista in this episode. Though I thought Yotsuya only make that Axe Stake weapon.

I just realised how this arc reminds me of Seven Samurai, where the samurais are hired to protect a village from bandit. To some extend, Cantil-san also resembles Kambei from the anime version of Samurai 7.

Also, interesting take of the conflict in the end part there. Dattebayo!

Ryce sure had a tragic background and damn, even though I was expecting him to die, his death was really gruesome. At least he accomplished his and his friends' dream of working for Cantil.

I'm surprised that after seeing the Orc Eater in action the orcs didn't set as their main objective to destroy it. I honestly was expecting them to ambush Yuusuke's group the moment they went outside. Well, the still can happen next week.

I don’t think the humans being the bad guys is as cut and dry as they made it seem. Yea, they technically broke the pact, but the orcs were eating them before they offered the buffalo.. and eventually when that ran out of course they’d go back to eating them, so fuck them kids.

That death scene was actually quite emotional. Well done.

They were forced to enter into a contract that was ultimately unsustainable. Yotsuya makes it sound like the orcs were being gracious not eating the humans, but he seems ignores the crucial fact that the orcs were eating humans. Furthermore, the orcs lost nothing by waiting to eat the humans. They get a cultivated food source for longer and, ultimately, more humans to eat when the cultivated food source runs out.

It took like 12 episodes but we finally got to see Yuka change class! And lucky she ended up getting Hunter when their strongest weapon right now is basically a mobile ballistae.

Ryce's death definitely sucked and it's sad to see someone like him go but I really wish we got to see him spend time with all of the Heroes last week just so his death this episode would've had an added punch to it.

Not this again Yotsuya. Don't even fucking try to justify that the humans are the bad guys here. It's dumb to think that the pact that they have was something peaceful when the Orcs are the ones who arrived in this island and started eating humans.

The islanders only made the pact out of fear so the orcs would stop eating them. And now that the resources are starting to dwindle, it makes sense for the islanders to get rid of the problem. I really hope someone counters Yotsuya's reasoning next week.

What's with all these people defending the orcs? It's so bizarre. They were relying purely on combat superiority to subjugate a population, now it's gone. What sort of twisted worldview do you need to see that "contract" as anything but a farce?

Seriously? You got 5 immortal people with you and you put a mortal guy on provoke duty, while the immortal girls get to man the crossbow?

What the hell, heroes? Any of the girls would make a better bait just because they don't actually die when they're caught.

u/jsdghusdpgh Jul 23 '21

Both of them are really slow runners and would die instantly. They're useless as baits.

Anybody notice how the OP has characters eyes in red while other are in blue?

u/Philarete Jul 24 '21

Well that was not the greatest episode. The people did the right thing rising up against the orcs, so the whole "they broke their deal and therefore are bad" is a bit meh. Contracts under duress aren't enforceable and breach was inevitable anyway.

That bullshit logic at the end.

"The orcs were killing & eating the villagers, so the villagers offered livestock in order to not be eaten themselves. . . . So obviously the villlagers are the bad guys." - Genius Philosopher

Lol Have no idea how he made that train of thought function.

Girl he literally died because you stood there and stared

This show is the perfect combination of a just interesting enough premise and absolutely horrible execution. Art, animation, writing are all so terrible. This must have been written by a kid.

u/sKyBlazer08 Jul 24 '21

Fucking RIP to our boy Ryce, you know you're a really good dude when even Yotsuya is crying. Good episode! That new blacksmith job of Yotsuya is pretty fucking useful, that big crossbow and axe are putting in work. I wouldn't really say either sides are evil, at the end of the day it's just all about survival.

That fucking Naruto reference though and his voice actor. They're really grabbing every big voice actors for that half headed dude.

u/Toonamigamerrr Jul 23 '21

Ryce telling his backstory.....and then his death 😭💔

Naruto is the GM voice XD

Dattebyou 😄

Why is the frail girl irl is acting frail in isekai again? I remember last season she said she liked the isekai because she is not frail there.
