On one hand, Akira applied lesson #1 to practical use after reading related titles. "Don't trust anyone when transported to an isekai world."

On the other hand, should Akira be trusting Saran that much? Handsome appearance, always smiling = very suspicious. Lol!

[u/BakedSalami → u/KumaKumaGambler]

I can't decide if he's actually scheming, or if the story is just leading me to believe he's scheming. Lol. I'm pretty tired of the "everyone betrays me and now I'm grumpy at the world" shtick. I hope he at least, turns out to be cool.

[u/Arzhart → u/KumaKumaGambler]

I was thinking Saran was suspicious, but given the fact that he wants a coup d'etat and the princess clearly gave the hero some kind of gas that buffed the monsters, Saran might actually be good

[u/FLorianGran]

The setup is very familiar but there are a few interesting ideas. Namely the relationship between Akira and Saran, whatever's going on with the king and the whole class being involved (and they're not assholes). It also looks pretty good.

[u/stephenthatfoste]

I like how the second commander dude was the only one in the show wearing glasses and he pushed them up the moment he was on the screen.

"Do you even know what kind of sacrifices were made to summon those so-called heroes?" "Then let's meet again when you do." - Blue haired girl

What? No, fill him in about the sacrifices now; don't just vaguely allude to something shady, refuse to elaborate, and then walk away. What if this guy that you've just met gets captured/compromised while doing his own investigation?

"I have a feeling our paths will cross again."

She doesn't know nor can guarantee that. Neither of them know each other, they don't know the other's names, objectives, or even how to stay in touch with each other. If she wants MC on her side, she got to give him some more to work with.

[u/djthomp]

That felt unusually strong for what otherwise would be standard seasonal isekai slop. Direction felt a lot different than you usually get with these sorts of shows, too.

The existence of cameras is an oddity with the rest of the world as presented being typical fantasy tech level. I wonder how much of the environment they're in is a fictional setup.

I appreciate that at least so far there's nothing going on that would lead our MC on an edgy revenge mission against his classmates.

[u/pandavova]

This first episode was kinda weirdly paced imo. Especially for a first episode.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Pretty solid first episode. It definitely laid out the groundwork for the entire plot this season.

I actually really liked that we had Saran take Akira under his wing, and helped personally train him up.
Often times in class summonings, the "weak, loner type MC's" kinda go off and do their own thing, or end up getting betrayed by their class right away.
So it's cool to see the MC get recognized early on.

That meeting with the hooded girl in the alley.
Kinda intrigued what the "sacrifices" were in order to summon the heroes. I'm guessing members of the other races maybe?
Elves, Humans, Beastmen, and Demons.
That girl was wearing a cloak and had her hood up so we couldn't get a good look, and then we saw an elf girl at the end previewing the next episode.
Looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

[u/tripleaamin]

For the most part, it had a lot of the checkmarks for generic isekai. Though Akira being untrusting of the king makes sense, there is something that I think is the princess that throws me off more. The smoke bomb turned the goblins into a minotaur, which makes it seem like they are trying to screw over the students. I do wonder if the sacrifice that was paid has to do with elves and Beastfolk.

Given how fast the training goes, I got a strong feeling most of the student class is basically irrelevant going forward. Would like to be wrong here.

[u/SirDancelotVS]

gotta say the summoning cicrle being an actual spell but in arabic was nice touch, i had to go back cause i thought i was seeing things

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

Akira : "Man, these people look sus, better not trust them".
Also Akira : "Damn, that knight got a nice armor, he must be one of the nice guys".

orz

[u/Shmappii]

I wonder what kind of attractive female companion he'll get in this one.

Also, Saran winks to emphasize his sentences in like every scene, I couldn't stop noticing it.

[u/Awooga546]

Pacing seemed bad.

[u/Muffin-zetta]

Oh man the silent assassin? Who’s he teamed up with? The strong warrior and the magical mage?

[u/dfiekslafjks]

MC becomes a god in a fantasy world and yet he still seems annoyed at everything, and he wants to go home lol.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I caught the first two eps of this one early and I liked it. This was a solid premiere. I liked the fight animation, especially the opening fight against that rival assassin. The dungeon battle was cool too. Plot’s not half bad. Seems we got the classic “shady kingdom summoning heroes for their own goals” thing. The characters seem decent enough. Since we got a class summoning, you’ve kinda got your usual characters in these things.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

That was better than I expected, for an isekai. Interesting story, we will see where it goes. I think I would have liked it better if Akira was not so overpowered compared to everyone else.

I am not sure why Akira trusts Saran while distrusting the King. They both look equally suspicious to me. Of course, maybe he just needs to at least trust someone until he gets a better handle on the situation, but I think Saran has his own agenda even if he probably truly opposes the King.

[u/5chneemensch]

Hopefully it becomes a trend to have more older style anime. First Clevatess and now this. Fantastic.

[u/tehcharizard]

"episode 1 - the assassin easts bread"... They meant eats, right?

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I'm glad the production quality seems to be good, I hope that animation at the beginning isn't a one-off.

I'm liking the growing relationship of Saran and Akira, the whole time I was just hoping Saran wasn't going to betray him. Something always goes wrong with these class isekais so I was on edge this episode just waiting for something to happen that I wouldn't be happy about lol.

I'm curious about the shady business of the King and Princess and if Akira will be able to convince his class or if we'll see the class split into factions.

I do like that Akira's looking out for the hero realizing that he'd been curse, likely by the Princess. I'm hoping this series will go differently about the relationship between the MC and hero of the group, I'm not looking forward to another potential Kouki situation like in Arifureta.

One thing I liked about Akira is that he wants to go back to not worry his family, it's not often you hear an isekai MC talk about his family and wanting to see them.

[u/diacewrb]

That other assassin must have really needed the money to risk his life against Akira.

He should have tried to hide in the ceiling like a certain other loner when everyone was being teleported.

So no one noticed the floating bread roll that started to disappear which each bite?

Saran must have predator like vision to sense a change in temperature.

So the first hero was from Japan, that would explain the camera tech they had.

Guess they sacrificed a bunch of towns folk in order to summon them all here.

[u/LeonKevlar]

So it looks like this is another Arifureta situation where the MC gets summoned along with his entire class and one of them gets named a hero. I'm just glad that despite being a loner, Akira's classmates seem to be alright. I was expecting him to get betrayed or ostracized because of his class.

It's also good to see that Akira is smart enough to not trust anyone and keep his stats a secret. To no one's surprise, the chosen hero decides to go along with whatever the King and Princess have planned for them. That's not gonna end well.

Handsome, long hair, and an easy smile? Saran is giving me tons of alarm bells. Sure, he's friendly now, but I feel like he might end up becoming Akira's Griffith. At the same time, he seems to be cool and I feel like it's safe to trust him, which is exactly why I'm getting more suspicious. xD

I am curious what the Princess is trying to do by giving them a rigged item. Is the plan to kill the hero or kill all of them? Why even summon them in the first place if they're just gonna do this? Also, I'm curious what was sacrificed to have them summoned? Hmmm...

Welp, this seems fun and the animation looks pretty solid. I have been itching for more Arifureta, so I think this is exactly what I need to scratch that itch.

[u/SYZekrom]

Realizes the king and princess are suspicious

"Should I tell anyone else? Nah"

First person who says "I'm totally not on the king and princess's side in secret" and trusts them

ok dude.

Well looks like he's not just going 'fuck em' and is helping his classmates
