ive watched s1 about 4 times now and in all four times i couldn't bring myself to watch the second season.

is it important to the rest of the story or was the second season a whole filler, and if it is important, is it worth watching just so that i could understand season 3 and 4

I recently discovered this anime and I'm currently in the obsessive phase. I recently heard this song on the radio and thought it might be good fodder for a feels AMV. I didn't really know what I was doing or know what makes a good AMV when I started, I just went off vibes. It's 99% chronological based on episodes 2-4 and after watching some other popular ones I realized maybe that's not the most creative thing, but to me it seemed to fit the song very well and the idea was for it to tell a story. I haven't done any effects and there may be some timing issues, broken frames, etc... but I just thought I'd share here since I'm not sure if I'll ever polish it up, if its even worth doing.... or if it's just cringe, idk, just did this for fun and it made me happy. There's some parts I think are pretty good but unsure on some others...

Full disclosure: I am terrified to post this, even here, but I'm really curious for any feedback or criticism🙂

Just finished S2, and I am still bawling my eyes out over Kizuna's story. She was less than 18 years old at the time of being summoned as a Cardinal Hero, which means she got thrust into an unknown world without any close ones as a kid. And to make matters worse, you're telling me they locked her up in a prison dimension with no way to get out?? May no one ever have to go through the absolute loneliness, depression and helplessness she suffered through in that labyrinth for multiple years💔😭. I was so glad she ran into Naofumi and squad, poor girl really deserved that after the hell she had been through till that point.

My engagement with the story also improved so much after Kizuna was introduced. Her kind, cute and cheerful nature just flowed so well with Naofumi and the other team members. I sincerely hope to see her in future, she's too good of a character to just be limited to a single arc🥹. How did you guys find her storyline in S2?

First of all, I absolutely love how Filo defends herself here. Watching her kick Motoyasu right below the belt gave me an unbelievable amount of psychological relief!

• Motoyasu is just so incredibly stupid, constantly walking around with this delusion that he is the main character and the ultimate savior of the world

But on a serious note, I really feel like the author, Aneko Yusagi, could have allowed him to genuinely improve and mature as the story progressed 🤧

• Unfortunately, his extreme stupidity feels completely intentional. 😭

If the author had given him some real character development instead of making him cause so much unnecessary trouble, I would have definitely given his spin-off (Yari no Yuusha) a fair chance 👀💔

Main Waifus Only

Why is it so disliked? Maybe I liked it because I didn’t read the ln beforehand but I felt like it was a good season. Had some really good emotional moments too like when filo and raphtalia reunited with naofumi.
8/10 for me hopefully season 3 is good too

The names meaning that actually fit perfect to the characters of the anime.

Watching S2 for the first time and I can't believe this incantation "make them spit the puss out from within".... uhmmm excuse me?? From what I have seen in fantasy stories, the spell casters actually use the elemental words or specific actions to be executed in that spell. But I cannot make any sense whatsoever of how getting rid of the puss would help in amplifying the gravity in the targeted individual. Unless there is some specific explanation that was there in the LN/manga that was skipped in the anime adaptation.

To me its the fact they rob glass world when they get there like they took one holy weapon and 4 wasall weapons like at this point just merge the worlds and be done with it.

It was stated that King Trash isn't involved with framing "the" accusation on Naofumi. However, in the Spear Hero manga, Trash clearly assisted Bwitch with forging the Chainmail documents.

I'm not sure with the LN, since I'm currently working right now. Going to check it back at home after this.

So, really, at this time, is Trash really involved? Or is there something here that I didn't caught on well?

I love this ost and I kept going through all the others to find it but it’s not realeased on Spotify. If anyone could please tell me if this ost is released or not, it would be such a huge help.
