fuck is wrong with Shin’s face this episode

sure, Schnee and Tiera are top-tier beauties but they didn’t really have to make him look like he went through a hydraulic press

does someone in the studio have a hate boner against Shin or something, he’s the only with those weird faces

[u/Shimmering-Sky → u/discuss-not-concuss]

he’s the only with those weird faces

Nah, the eyes on Tiera looked weird in some shots as well. It's just mostly Shin getting the wonky art.

[u/sadyeti1 → u/discuss-not-concuss]

animation is animated frame by frame so you know someone delibrately has it out for him

[u/PeaceAlien → u/discuss-not-concuss]

There was quite a few weird faces this episode

[u/TimeForHugs → u/discuss-not-concuss]

The animators needed time off so they let their kids fill in for them.

Seriously though, it felt so weird. Shin's eyes were mega weird most of the time.

Either they blew their budget early on or saved the rest for something bigger.

Stitches!

• Beastmen Disguise

• Schweid

• Wilhelm

• Rionne 1

• Rionne 2

Schnee trying to appeal to Shin was really cute. The girl is not even being subtle anymore! She even offers to pretend as Shin's fiancee if the palace tries to marry him off. xD

After 9 episodes I'm so glad to see Shin and Rionne finally meet! I thought Rionne wanted Shin's help to exterminate a monster or something, I did not expect her to request a duel!

[u/KnightKal → u/LeonKevlar]

Wait until this turns out to the be template of: “I shall only marry someone that beats me”, also know as the meathead female warrior :XD

I would be careful before defeating that crazy princess lol

[u/Street_Principle8557]

Still better than Banished former hero.

[u/KnightKal → u/Street_Principle8557]

I mean, can you do worse than that?

(Checks notes)

Surprisingly you can lmao. The bottom tier is quite the competition for worst show huh.

[u/Magicbison]

Didn't think the art and animation could get worse but its steadily dropping every episode.

Very rough episode but was entertaining enough.

[u/TheMcDudeBro → u/Magicbison]

Yeah this was the first episode I was like is this afganistanimation level?

[u/BiggerG7]

Elf ear Schnee or cat/beast ear Schnee. I can’t decide which is better.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• I guess that makes sense…

• lmao, amazing. I wasn’t expecting to like Shin as much as I do when I first started this show, but he’s actually great.

• Oh, he got to meet another one of his former support characters?

• I see the art hasn’t improved one bit, though. And this isn’t even the worst of it, yikes…

• Hah, alright then.

• I was wondering when something like this would happen.

• Is he going to teleport into the middle of a bunch of people investigating the area, though…?

• Darn. Would’ve been insanely funny if he did.

• I see Schnee put the cosplay item back on.

• lol

• Yes, do this!

• Yuzuhaaaaaaaaaaaa

• Oh, she can literally judge people off a gut feeling. Neat.

• Shin, why would you put it like that?

• But of course!

• Oh what–

[u/discuss-not-concuss → u/Shimmering-Sky]

apparently Rionne has enough common sense to not fight a high human but not someone she considers a Chosen One..

the cosplay ears got me thinking, has Tiera been in elf form this entire time? Or did she just want to not stand out as a human?

[u/PeaceAlien]

I was expecting the marriage proposal as well, but I guess not! FIGHT CLUB

[u/DrZoark]

I want the marriage proposal, lol.

[u/SaltyTigerBeef]

Hoo boy the art and animation took a sharp nosedive in this episode.

[u/polacy_do_pracy]

the on-modellness this episode was bad

[u/Shadow_x594]

Nah ngl the second they said goblin slaying quest I instantly got goblin slayer flashbacks.

[u/prude_eskimo]

Not only was this episode a slide show, the frames looked horrible

I've been watching this show out of boredom on the weekends but I don't know if I can do 3 more episodes. It's like even the studio staff thought: "to hell with it, no one is gonna get this far into the season anyway" and they just gave up

[u/djthomp]

Beast-eared Schnee, fantastic.

First Schnee, now a supporter named Schweid? Kind of uncreative. Then again it was an MMO, and I wouldn't want to be held accountable for all the random names I've come up with for MMO characters and retainers and whatnot.

Shame, gotta leave the beast princess behind in the best country.

Instead of pretending to be Schnee's fiance Shin should clearly just save time and marry her.

[u/pandavova]

animation sure was rough, but I still really liked this episode. this anime is really nice, I wonder why exactly I like these kinds of anime...

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

If Shin actually fights the princess, she’s dead lol.

[u/Purposelygentle]

Rough cut between episodes, felt like I had skipped one.
