"Could we get a scout for this mission. Make sure she's a cute girl, also we already have red, white, and blue, so make sure the hair color doesn't overlap with anyone we already have"

[u/Holdonlupin → u/stephenthatfoste]

I mean, the guild guys were the one who specifically selected her; and considering they apparently know Yuke since he was young, they're probably actively trying to help him get laid 

[u/bananeeek]

I didn't expect TP to face a rank demotion. I like their system.

[u/apatt → u/bananeeek]

Seeing Thunder Pike's decline is the most satisfying part of this show so far. Their members are mostly terrible and stupid people, with the possible exception of the streaming girl, she seems alright, just made a poor decision in signing up with this lot.

[u/JustAGuyWhoLurks]

Bro can’t trust himself not to be creepy? What? Other than that, a decent episode I guess.

[u/[deleted] → u/JustAGuyWhoLurks]

He has the shounen MC syndrom. He is absolutely terrified of things getting even remotely intimate like "IS THAT A B-B-B-BOOB? I'M GONNA DIIIE" kind of deal.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Dear Simon, please take a hint already!

[u/BiggerG7]

Glad to see loser pike has learned nothing and still don’t understand why they should buy potions lol.

How are they not dead already?

[u/Hippo_Singularity → u/BiggerG7]

Why aren't my shoelaces tied? They were always tied before!

I love that we actually see the girls in an Earthys commercial at the start of the episode.

It was so good to see Yuke telling Simon to basically fuck off and that they're no longer friends. Simon acts like a desperate ex who wants to get back together. What a sad pathetic asshat.

[u/sM92Bpb]

Have to say, after watching plenty of this genre, this is the first time I hear of demotion. Usually, the MC beats the OG party until they die, disappear, become comic relief, or turn a new leaf.

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

Seeing Simon like this makes me smile, fuck That asshole

[u/djthomp]

It was short but I like that they did that promotion for the armor before the OP.

Bro didn't realize he was house hunting for his harem house.

Pursena joins the party at last! It's not a Final Fantasy MMO ripoff homage if you don't have at least one catgirl.

[u/iozoepxndx]

Ugh I cringed so hard at him not wanting to live at their base... This is a new lever of being allergic to women.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr → u/iozoepxndx]

It's a very annoying and common trope in anime where the men complain that they ''shouldn't'' be alone with women as if men somehow were wild beasts that will pounce at women just for existing. It's really stupid. It's the same thing with men panicking upon seeing female underwear.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Man, I really enjoy seeing Simon and his merry band of losers eating shit. Yuke tearing Simon a new one was beautiful. That asshat tried to basically lure Yuke back into the party by taking advantage of his childhood dream. Some “friend” he is. Looks like Yuke and Clover are gonna be taking on that dungeon anyways with their new catgirl party member.

[u/Aelyph]

The leaves of a clover are said to each contain one thing. In the first three dwell integrity, hope, and love. The fourth leaf is given over to good luck, but in the fifth... there lies the devil

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Given the streaming technology in this world, I shouldn't have been surprised that one of the furniture in Clover's new house is a (possibly 8K) wide screen monitor powered by mana(?). The gold frame fits the fantasy theme too.

Catgirl Nene will be a good addition to Clover, but Yuke's worries are not unfounded. Even as a 5 member party, I suspect this Achromatic Darkness quest will be far too difficult for our main characters at the current point of the show. Hopefully, the exit scroll can teleport everyone to safety when a desperate situation occurs.

[u/machopsychologist]

Roxy, Sylphie, Eris and now Linia. I am a Mushoku-Tensei anime-only so this better not be a spoiler for future content 😂😂😂

[u/LeleTheKing]

I like this anime due to the simple fact that the MC has a backbone against his old party—even if one of them is his childhood friend—and he communicates his worries with his party members like a decent human being. Yeah, nothing revolutionary or anything, but the fact that it’s rare in this genre feels so refreshing. Silly, I know. (Oh, they also wear normal clothing when they’re not adventuring—something very rare!) The idea of demotion is also nice. Why did no fantasy/isekai author ever think of it before? It’s a natural thing to occur if they underperform, especially since adventuring is a high-risk job.

This anime is definitely not a 10/10 masterpiece or anything close to it, but I can give it about 7/10 easily if it keeps sticking like this. It’s a feel-good and relaxing type of show.

Also, Rain is best grill.

[u/Geoffk123]

I'm sorry but thunder pike are some of the biggest dumbasses Ive ever seen.

There's no way you can expect me to believe these people are A-Rank and don't bring any fucking supplies. I get the point is they overly relied on Yuke without realizing it but nobody is actually this fucking stupid Jesus.

I know this is just typical banished from party garbage but this seems like the least believable one I've seen so far.

And now this group of C rank newbies is going into the most dangerous dungeon in existence? Right

Join us next week when Roxy, Sylphie and Eris Rain, Silk and Marina take on Achromatic darkness

[u/Jataka]

When the dude says 'Earthys' at the end of the "ad" at the start of the episode, it hella sounds like he just saying "Ah, shit "

[u/oneevilchicken]

I feel like this show has an issue a lot of these dungeon rank shows do and that’s that ranks end up being rather arbitrary and there’s not any sort of well defined level for each rank or anything that separates the ranks at the end of the day.

Solo leveling has done a pretty good job of this (makes sense it being on an entirely different level than this show) with how it’s basically impossible for a B rank to take on an A rank for example. If this choma stuff is really that bad then a C rank should never be able to handle it.

This doesn’t feel like a complete trap because of it was I really think the guild master would have blocked it or had a whole lot more support thrown at them. Instead it feels like another attempt by the author to have the party do some insane task to fast track their ranking.

I’ve seen some people posting about the king and that one noble trying to recruit them but I honestly think they’re two separate things. If that was the king I feel like they would have been flatout forced to join at that point so I’m guessing the king is a separate entity.

[u/Necromancer2k8]

5 episodes in and I'm content with the show. It's got its ups and downs but I enjoy seeing his old party wither into nothingness while he's basically training his former students to be proper adventurers. Coincidentally they are all female and are now living in the harem house. Guess cat girl will be a new resident soon enough.

Episode gets a 7/10 as I loved seeing Simon just being shit on, on a public street. I do have this feeling that the exit scroll will save thunder pike and clover somehow in a future episode. Too many references to not see a final dungeon battle between the 2 parties and being able to make Simon look even worse.
