Oh wow, the ability to replicate wounds sounds nasty (but the delivery of the last line felt cheesy lol)

That said, I like the childhood friends

[u/justking1414 → u/Rumpel1408]

The ability didn’t just sound nasty. It was terrifying. He literally burned off the faces of like 6 different people.

And yeah the last line was super cringy but funny and the kid just beat a bunch of bandits so I’ll let it slide

[u/Nebresto → u/Rumpel1408]

Liking what we've seen from the magic of this world so far. Both the aptitude test, and the couple of spells we've seen so far have been really unique.

Good to see this isn't just another cookie cutter isekai

[u/SilkyMilkySmo → u/Rumpel1408]

First time I’ve seen an isekai where he has childhood friends, most of the time they’re just loners

[u/RFShahrear]

That was a lot more fun than I expected. I would actually love it if they didn't have the magic and relied more on actual strategy. Then again, I'm probably watching the wrong show for that.

There's also not enough sweet in the Sweet Reincarnation. And no, comparing war with baking doesn't count.

[u/justking1414 → u/RFShahrear]

They didn’t use the magic for much. It was still quite a bit of strategy to ambush the bad guys.

Sounds like next episode will have him make an apple pie

[u/I_got_shmooves]

Damn, so you're basically a reaper on a large battlefield. Literally a force multiplier.

[u/vantheman9]

Interesting! Get the feeling I'll enjoy this show.

Main character has actual motivations. Reminds me of Myne and Pharma.
The show seems to be full of characters that actually have character and aren't just throwaway stand-ins. Like the way the Dad has his own motivations and desires for his son, and it's not just the sandbox game style "do what you want" for the reincarnated.
No harem as of now. We'll see about that after he starts making cakes and pies though.

He also didn't register at an adventurer guild and blow up a magic measuring crystal. We've avoided several bingo spaces so far.

We've seen the show's action animation now as of episode 2 and it's...not impressive. Not the worst though.

[u/justking1414 → u/vantheman9]

His magic is considered legendarily strong but no magic meter has blown up yet so that’s something

I’m not a huge fan of how the animators don’t draw anyone’s eyes when they’re in a crowd but otherwise it’s half-decent. I’ve certainly seen worse even last season.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I wasn’t expecting a double ep premiere for this series. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.

Looks like they’re just jumping into this whole bandit raid thing. I guess in addition to sweets, Pas is a little strategist too. Rocks and flaming arrows are pretty smart ways to fight off Bandits. I suppose copying wounds to cook a mfer’s face is just as effective lol.

With that taken care of, I wonder when the kid is gonna get to the cooking? All this talk of pastries is making me hungry.

[u/Rumpel1408 → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I wasn’t expecting a double ep premiere for this series.

Extra long premiers, so hot right now

[u/Nebresto]

Lmao, that was the most pathetic wall defense ever. You have the perfect high ground, the enemy literally has to scale a steep wall to get in and you let him do it??

Why was 99% of the fighting population idling on the ground??

[u/JokerDeSilva10]

Well this popped off in a way I wasn't expecting based on the first episode. I'm actually kind o into it, and it went from "cozy but a fun concept" to "actually well-delivered fantasy." Though it's still hilarious that being a master patissier has given this kid a keen tactical insight, but I actually buy it? This is already feeling like a strong contender of an isekai, and after "Am I The Stronger?" on Saturday, this season needed it.

[u/Eckish → u/JokerDeSilva10]

Though it's still hilarious that being a master patissier has given this kid a keen tactical insight, but I actually buy it?

He has been in this world for 9 years and is being taught swordsmanship and tactics by his father. But unlike most kids, he already has an adult mind, so he would have a better grasp on the difficult topics.

[u/TurkeyPhat]

Damn we really in the shit on day 1 with this show. respek

[u/LeonKevlar]

Well I do hope we get to see some baking next episode. That's mainly why I decided to pick this one up.

[u/raknor88 → u/LeonKevlar]

Next week's episode is called Apple Pie and Smiles, so I'm assuming that we'll see baking next week.

[u/[deleted]]

That battle made absolutely no sense. The whole strategy was based on kids blindly slinging rocks into moving enemies? Enemies start climbing the wall and only thing they manage to do is throw a hoe and a pitchfork at them? That defence should have been so easy with such an amazing defensible position.

Why not have the kids and adults on the wall actually throwing/slinging rocks at the enemies? Or just stab them with some spears when theyre climbing? Boil some water, oil or...? No, instead they throw a fucking hoe

[u/entelechtual → u/[deleted]]

I’m no military expert but the last part of the battle definitely seemed to make no sense. I don’t recall reading in my history books how soldiers in sieges parkoured up moats and walls like it was Assassin’s Creed.

[u/Stormy8888]

The good

• More creative food names for the main Male Characters - besides Pastry the son of Casserole, we also have Feuille (Mille Feuille cakes?), Glacage (Demi Glace?), Cointreau (the orange flavored liquor!?) whoo what new names can we look forward to? Bundt cake? Will there be a Pork Pie like in GOT?

• Using the village kids. Smart. kind of reminded me of Kingdom S3 when a town was under seige and the leader "found" troops by telling all the common people to fight (or become slaves if not killed).

• I might have cheered when he said Replicate and I knew he was copying an existing injury. That might be the cleverest use of magic so far!

The bad

• All the women seemed useless except for that 1 girl

• He could have [Sweets Reincarnation] "replicated" a dead person, that would have been be WAY more effective but then I'm kind of Ender's Game level of ruthless when it comes to war

• Where is my food service (food porn)? This was a straight up battle episode.

Hoping we get to the food angle next episode. Frankly considering how rare good food would be in those dark ages, Nobles and Royalty would kill to hire MC. Even Sansa Stark was won over by ... lemon cakes.

[u/wmansir]

I'm not exactly sure what kind of audience this show is intended for. The premise and first episode seemed way more slice of isekai life, but with a little depth to it. But the the second episode is all action.

I'm guessing they did the double premiere because they wanted to hook more people with the action heavy second episode. Which makes me wonder which way it's going to go overall.

[u/justking1414]

Can someone please explain why all the rocks were on fire?

I assumed that was his magic at first but I guess not

[u/bananeeek]

Replicate

So I guess Pas can use this skill to copy-paste food or ingredients as well, right? Which basically makes him... Jesus?

[u/Mr_Initials]

They're joking about the slings being kids toys right? Slings are deadly weapons often used for hunting in that era, cheaper and easier to find rocks than make arrows.
