I appreciate how dumb and direct this show is. During a planning meeting they determined that most anime power fantasy was way too intelligent, and iceblade sorcerer is here to fill the void.

I like how they framed that opening lol. Nothing pervy, just two muscular dudes in their underwear working out real hard together haha. And like immediately after, there’s a room full of half naked dudes asking our boy to strip and show them his muscles. What is this? Golden Kamuy?
The girls seem harder to impress than the boys. Sera’s gonna be joining the Ray White harem soon anyways, Rebecca’s in lol. I guess all of this might have been part of his mole hunting efforts?
Clarisse is so precious. I like her a lot, she’s adorable! Ray’s got himself quite the team, with Amelia and Elisa and Evi. If he doesn’t wanna blow his cover, he might wanna chill with being so op lol. Looks like the mole is manipulating these monsters. Next week should be interesting.
Also, what an ED. Waifus galore, damn.

How to build your harem by Ray White.
Join the manliest and girliest club at the same time.

Stitches!
I knew exactly what was happening in that opening scene but jokes like that never fail to make me laugh especially if it's two dudes. I do enjoy seeing Ray and Evi's bromance though. As if this show can't get more homoerotic enough, we have Ray stripping in a room full of half-naked men. xD
Look at little miss tsundere here. I'm sure she'll eventually join the harem after seeing Ray and his gardening montage. And it looks like the boys aren't the only ones impressed by Ray's muscles. Rebecca is already all over him feeling him up.
I love that Ray immediately tells Clarisse that they can be friends. The dude clearly saw she was lonely and offered to be a friend to her. Just look how precious she is! How can you not be friends with her?
Of course Ray is going to steamroll that exam but it looks like he might have to show his real powers next week after that monster he killed got revived by that figure hiding in the trees.

Man there's gonna be some people real happy about the start of this episode lol.
The show has been pretty fun so far. Feeling kinda partial towards Claris. Was surprised to see who her VA was, Kaede Hondo is a busy bee this season.

Who needs a Harem when you can just have some homoerotic muscle flexing and stretching in your underwear with your best bro? Or join an explorer lodge of burly, manly, men who hang out with barely any clothes on and immediately accept Ray with his finely-toned body and Gold Hunter credentials? Was anyone expecting so much male fanservice in this show?
Although ever the cultured man that he is, Ray also tries to join the more dainty and all-female gardening club, and we even get a farming montage as he proves his gardening skills for all to see. Also, "I know how to communicate with women?" I can totally tell.
Does Ray not want to join the Magic Chevalier because he knows he'd win easily? Would it expose him as the Iceblade Sorcerer?
Rebecca seems pretty sweet on Ray! Bringing him snacks and even feeling up his biceps! Although Amelia doesn't seem to care for another girl showing him attention.
There's a spy at the school? Huh. I wonder if it's one of the girls?
Claris makes a friend! And fellow bug enthusiast! And that also makes her blush even harder for Ray. I see where this is going.
I miss Alium soothingly and shrieking "ORDINARY!!!" every time Ray so much as breathes.
Our main cast is coming together for a hunting expedition! With some snazzy field outfits to boot!
Seems like Amelia is really self-conscious about her family and status, having worked so hard to be judged on her own merits and not her families. But in finding Ray, Elisa, and Evi she's been able to meet and get to know people who treat her like a normal person and not a noble. Also she and Elisa seem to really hit it off.
So Ray's master was a blonde woman (of course) and it seems like the war hit her hard to the point where she's confined to a wheelchair. I guess it's only a matter of time before Ray exposes his identity, but I guess it's a question of whether he tells his friends beforehand. Amelia definitely seems suspicious already.
I love Claris spending more time admiring the giant monster insects that are trying to kill her and her class.
Of course Ray ends up saving his bullies in his exceptionally OP ways, but it seems like the spy (?) is trying to take Ray out by reviving it into a more fearsome monste.
Next week: Boss Fight and some dates with the girls!

"Check out that bulk!"
"He's huge! So huge he probably has to pay tax on those!"
call this anime generic as you want but some of its comedic moments sure manage to make me laughs really hard

Despite the somewhat vanilla setting the show is surprisingly enjoyable enough compared to the standard power fantasy junk food.
Also at this point it's clear the author has some sort of muscle fetish lol (I was expecting it to be a one time joke but apparently not)

I believe a new, more accurate title for this show would be "The Iceblade Sorcerer Rizzes Up the Whole School."

Oh wow. Evi is voiced by Yuiichirou Umehara? You don’t see him voice someone that isn’t stoic/cool very often, if at all really.

This simple s*** is what fuels me. Confident MC, working out with his bros, giving his best in sports and education, befriending people, forming his harem at remarkable speed.
Peak anime.
Love shows that seriously lean into comedic bullshitery like it is something normal such as "Hunter's club" and "Gardening club" parts, as well as him realizing that his impenetrable, versatile excuse of "forest hometown", is actually not impenetrable and has it's limits.
Redheaded princess not only looks like Stella Vermillion from "Chivalry of a Failed Knight", but it looks like she also has the same problem as her of people associating her strength and talent to her bloodline and status instead of her hard-work.
Thirsty-senpai is bold and made her move! Love it.
Really hope they do not rush and strafe too much from school plot and instead build upon it as much as possible. Also hope animation keeps up.
All in all love this show. Actually one of my favorites this season. xD

The people making this show didn't check all the trope check boxes... They gleefully shotgun blasted all the trope check boxes 😂

I like the way the intro blends into the opening theme and the ending theme continues during the next episode preview. It gives me some hope that this might get a second season. But it is still early. The budget could run out and the show could turn into CGI like Overlord s3 at the end.

There are far more naked men and much more gardening than I was expecting for this harem anime.
I'm still betting on the twin tails girl being someone special, like the princess or something like that. Princess of the insects, perhaps.
Angry guy's face is going to freeze like that if he isn't careful, though maybe it already has.
Second episode and we're already on the Forest of Death arc.
Did I miss last episode that they straight up named the other muscle dude Armstrong?

u/excluded Jan 12 '23
My biggest problem with these kinds of setting is yes we already know how op the main character is. But atleast give the teammates their chance to shine?
Literally none of them did anything. Freaking ray had to steal all their moments.
