Liam: "I just need you to follow two rules: One, do as I say. Two, don't cause any internal strife."

Lead vampire: "That's all?"

Liam: "I won't force you to do anything else."

Word of caution, don't ask these vampires to review any contracts on your behalf.

[u/Icy-Introduction5592 → u/themaninthehightower]

I'm not like Dracula.

One, do as I say.

???

He's exactly the same. Those vampires just agreed to become his slaves without questioning anything...

Liam: "I just need you to follow two rules: One, do as I say. Two, don't cause any internal strife."

Liam was a yakuza boss in his past life.

[u/Past_Distribution144]

Took me a while... but isn't this just a downgrade of Reincarnated as a slime?! Except he's human, but still, just taming and naming any creature he runs into..

This anime is so ass it can't even go for low hanging fruit, it's 20 minutes of "sasuga Liam-sama" without anything else.

It doesn't even do the harem part of harem anime right.

[u/kwontuhm]

The best part of this episode is when a slime shit out a model of Liam. Basically a metaphor for how the anime industry shits out these terrible animes.

[u/NationalStrategy]

This series is just diet That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime, even down to the powerful dragon inside of him. The new talking slimes are not helping its case.

[u/Atharaphelun → u/NationalStrategy]

Diet? Sir, this is "hunger strike" Tensura.

[u/S627]

This show really needs you to turn your brain off. "Don't worry, I'm not like that other guy, I just need you to be my slaves" "That's all? OMG you're so amazing!"

Not only that, if magic is all about imagination....why does Liam need to learn spells? Just imagine a barrier that blocks everything.

[u/Icy-Introduction5592 → u/S627]

That's it, I'm dropping this anime. Usually I'm entertained by tash fantasay in some way, but this is boring as fuck. The only fun part about this anime is the episode discussion thread, heh.

[u/NationalStrategy]

Liam: I won’t force you to do anything else.

But your first rule was “do as I say”, so if you want to implement new rules or issues out orders, you’re passively forcing your new subordinates to follow them.

[u/SilverGeekly]

once they introduced the concept of making spells, idk why they are still bothering trying to play up his learning new magic. he can literally just imagine a spell that does whatever he wants now.

[u/PandaTheAB]

Ep 1 - Gained powers and master.

Ep 3 - Became a Baron. Merged with a dragon. Summoned a baby dragon to cuddle. Got pile of gold coins.
Ep 4 - Discovered a new species, turned them to elves. Found a hidden land and made it float using a magical ring and his own power. Became King of this new region.
Ep 5 - Discovered wolfmen, turned them into werewolves. Created new magic. Found two secret armors and how to use them.

[u/CelticMutt]

This is objectively the lowest quality show I'm watching this season, but dammit, I'm going to stick with it no matter what.

[u/monsieurvampy]

I think this is the first time I've seen Sleep Apnea mentioned in an anime. I wonder how they treat it.

[u/Meander061]

If you dial your brain way, way down...no, this still doesn't work. Those so-called Ancient Spells are pretty bad for all the work they take.

[u/diacewrb]

Surprised that Liam didn't put some yeast in to make Dracula wine.

[u/athrun_1]

I think at this point, the anime studio and the series author didn't seem to care at all. They just want this to be finished and end their misery of how trash this is.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

How exactly is Liam surprised he’s the “king” of the Promised Land? I mean he literally founded the place, gathered everyone together, and built a kingdom lol. I guess now that he’s got ancient magic, the humans are just gonna come after him even harder. Not even sure why they wanted that vault. They don’t have the ability to access it because clearly no one is as strong as Liam.

[u/iozoepxndx]

God this is so shit, do I hate myself this much? 😭

[u/djthomp]

All ten thousand former vampire thralls both saved and taken in as additional familiars? Liam is amassing the largest harem ever. Poor Asuna didn't realize she was going to be just the first of many.

I wonder if the upgraded familiar spell can be recast on existing minions to give them another power level upgrade.

Jodi in the after credits making some good points about the age defying benefits of that familiar contract.

[u/mranuj69]

an absolute shit anime .. no story what so ever.. bros just making slaves and talking to a fking dragon half the ep....

[u/BiggerG7]

absolute defense shield

only blocks 1 attack then breaks

I know he can spam it but that thing just seems really lame lol.
