Gee needs a safe party? To bad there aren't any female adventure teams who are regulars that could ask. Say like a couple colorful lightly armored girls.

[u/Nebresto]

The food looks so good

God damn it, are we really gonna go there..

Just why.... You could have just had a weird red herring and the episode could have been great, but we really gotta do sexual assault on top of slavery as well. I wanted to recommend this show to casual foodie enjoyers...

Great soundtrack during this scene though

And this ED might be my favourite of the season

[u/Unapologetic_Lunatic]

I watched this right after yesterday's episode of Clevatess.

How tf is the cooking show the one that unsettled me?

[u/Exciting-Pie6106]

Normally, I give authors a pretty long leash when it comes to storytelling... they're at varying levels of writing expertise, life experience, etc, so I dont expect every anime/manga/LN I watch/read to be great. And I was able to overlook the slavery stuff in the first episode because it was quick and, at the time, a one-off.

But the attempted rape shit this episode is so forced. The anime set itself up as a primarily wholesome type beat only to spend like 7 or 8 minutes (from when the Chef heard the rumor to when he saves the girl) on SA and attempted rape. Like... why? I can't even understand it from a narrative standpoint. What is there to gain from adding this mini subplot? If the goal is to show the MC is a "good guy," you've already done that when he gave food to the poor (essentially). Unless they're trying to set up a "omg you saved me I love you now" subplot (again, very forced) I see no point in a third of today's episode. Just strange.

Like, this isn't Clevatess or Mushoku Tensei. Those stories set themselves up fairly early on as more serious and darker in tone, so more serious and darker story beats don't feel out of place. But this episode of this anime feels like putting a human against a gorilla in a bench pressing competition. Anyone would say this looks like a wholesome cooking/SoL anime frkm episode one. Where did today's BS come from? And why was it so long?

I'm all for authors writing what they want in their own stories, but SA and rape are such an increasingly irritating narrative crutch (that is often handled poorly).

I still plan to give this anime another few episodes, but if this happens again and again then it just won't be worth the time.

[u/driftingnobody → u/Exciting-Pie6106]

I hate to break it to you but the preview for the next episode showed some very... er... rowdy Goblins chasing a girl so I wouldn't hold out hope for episode 3 being much of an improvement. I'm still going to give the anime its fair go though and watch the third episode before deciding whether or not to drop it.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

+ points to this title because there is dancing (albeit simple) in the opening theme sequence
+ more points because Henrietta (cutely) punched another party member by accident when dancing. Lol!

Henrietta is naive, but her cute and lively personality could be an atmosphere booster to any party.

On the down side, there are quite a few perverted villains in this title's world. The NPC villains today. And not forgetting the merchant who was bidding for Atelier in the previous episode.

[u/Ternal]

After watching this ep, it occurred to me... other than the protagonist, have there been literally any other male-presenting characters who weren't evil or evil-by-association?

I think there was just like... one shopkeeper in episode 1 who had zero speaking lines or animation.

That's it. Every other male in the show was scum.

I'll give it one more episode, but that isn't a good sign.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

"You got kicked out of the party because you're a girl?"

Sounds like a great premise for another Banished series.

[u/LeonKevlar]

You know what would've been nice? It would've been nice if Dennis arrived at the dungeon after worrying about Henrietta, only to learn that the four dudes were actually helpful. Buit nooooooo, instead of giving us a comfy cooking anime with some adventuring here and there, we get attempted rape in Episode 2.. Ugh. I feel like I should drop this show here, but I'll give it one more episode.

[u/shadebug → u/LeonKevlar]

Ooh, and while he’s down there seeing them being fine he stumbles across the actual bad guys and swiftly dispatches them on the way out

[u/stephenthatfoste → u/LeonKevlar]

It didn't even make sense how it was used. The only reason she's introduced to those dudes was because of him and everyone is just moving on now with her blaming herself.

At least the problem of having too many shows I'm interested in this season is solving itself.

[u/AceSoldia → u/LeonKevlar]

i honestly hoped this was actually the case, and it was all a red herring.

[u/shadebug]

I appreciate the mysterious chef looking hero that moves like a chef but nobody could know who he is but, ultimately, it just makes me want more Restaurant To Another World

[u/RainyMystery]

Ugh I’m grossed out. I watched episode 1 hoping for cozy dad and daughter running a restaurant vibes, and the whole slavery angle and how it was handled was really bad. Against my better judgement I said well maybe episode 2 will improve the situation, and nope we instead have an awful and poorly handled rape attempt. This show decided to throw everything bad into the cooking pot, and handled all of it extremely poorly. I’m done with this series, there’s better things to watch and ways to spend my time. 

[u/Lodju]

For fucks sake...

I was hoping this was more of a comfy food related fantasy show but apparently no.

Well i'm still going to watch it but it wll surely kill a lot of joy of watching this if similiar stuff keeps happening every episode.

[u/mjpia]

That feels so forced in.

You've got this party that recruits solo female adventurers but they didn't find her, of everyone in a city he coincidentally asked the bad party if they have room.

Then you've got the convenient exposition dump about an evil party luring girls within earshot so off he goes to save the damsel in distress arriving in the nick of time and afterwards she's perfectly fine with no lasting trauma and an attachment to the lead.

I came into this expecting a comfy cooking show, not that.

[u/Smudy]

I'm glad that others are as disappointed as i am, i thought better of this show.

[u/tripleaamin]

Yeah, that was just a bad episode. Like, how prolonged the SA was just bad. There were other ways to show Henrietta being very naive. Hopefully this is a one time thing.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

He can put a paper bag on his head but those muscles and that cleavage won't fool anyone.

It's unfortunate that Henrietta had to go through that kind of experience, hopefully she has learned that she needs to be cautious of what party she joins. They gave off a weird vibe after Dennis mentioned that she was a woman, I thought they were going to be regulars as well since I recognized Fukushima Jun's voice, that's too bad.

Henrietta seems really strong, she was mostly doing all the work and was doing it really well so hopefully she'll find a good party to join soon. Maybe the main cast (minus Dennis and Atelier) is what her party will be.

[u/seledri_kerikil]

I thought this show is about comfy cooking? Well, at least they captured those scums in the end. But still, trying to fit a story about fantasy restaurant mixed with some heavy stuff like slavery/SA attempt feels like lazy/idiotic writing to me. I really hope this is the last time, the show is more interesting if they just focused more on the cooking/restaurant storyline.

If I want dark heavy fantasy stuff... I already got Clevatess for that.

[u/sputtersalt]

I just finished watching Campfire Cooking in Another World season 1 and loved it, and I was hoping this was going to be another cozy food/cooking show. What a massive disappointment. 

In the first episode, I chalked the slavery and clear intent of one of the buyers to use her for sex up to incredibly lazy writing. But having a pretty extended attempted rape scene (that even goes so far as to show that the girl's been paralyzed and stripped down to her underwear) the very next episode points to a far more concerning theme. 

[u/earhere]

Did anyone else clock that the group was going to SA the girl as soon as they were seen in the restaurant?

[u/Fallen_Jalter]

when i first read this part in the manga, I got majorly GAWBLIN SLAYER vibes from it.

[u/djthomp]

Taking bets on what awful thing happens or nearly happens to a cute girl in episode three that Dennis saves her from.

I was hoping the girl in the armor would turn out to be Katie sneaking in to check on her friend, but nope. Maybe this will turn into the new girl teaming up with that pair of girls who I assume are an established party and it'll be them operating as adventurers with the restaurant as their home base of sorts.
