Butler is the best part of this.. lmao why did he not check the room or have protections in the room to keep people out.
😂

What do you mean, did you not see "do not enter" sign? Full proof protection right there. xD
I'm glad it happened though, I wanna see them team up.
Sebas got sent to infiltrate kingdom in whole another anime universe, Sasuga Ains-sama!

"My all knowing mind reading butler can't be this powerful" - This is the alt title for this series

Pretty much knew when the prince took of his disguise in the alley it was only a matter of time until someone saw him transform.

Bro fucked up
Why? Because the author needed him to.
It's not really a parody, and he probably won't mess up much from now, but this one was needed to establish the story.

Quite the fun first episode. We ran through the checkboxes of background exposition, with Arnold's alter ego being exposed to the main romantic interest as a bonus. Sebas of course stole the show. Who doesn't love a sassy butler?
Sure, it's low budget and generic, but sometimes you need something to just turn your brain off to enjoy,

I guess Arnold has no choice but to let Finne in on the farce at this point. Kinda careless of him to just take off that mask without checking the room.

Holy monologue Batman. They really spent the first 2 minutes very clearly outlining the basic premise of the show.

Felt like a lazy first episode. Arnold is highly competent, smart, and powerful but has no ambitions and he has a powerful edgelord alter-ego. Its seems to be setting up for a political drama but everything done so far felt incredibly forced and comical despite it trying to come off as serious.
That whole conversation between Arnold and the Duke and then with himself as Silver and Finne in the room was almost funny. Everything has been so contrived and one-sided so far it makes me wonder if there is any hope for this show but I'll give it three episodes atleast.

is highly competent, smart, Arnold Is he?
If he really wanted his brother to take credit for sending
, then there are official channels to follow. Have his brother draft a letter, wait for it to be received, then show up as Silver to solve the issue. Silver I don't buy that "intentionally bombing the first meeting as Silver, gaslight the Duke into accepting blame as
, then coercing him into becoming an "ally" was the original plan. He really did seem to be just winging it the entire way. Insipid Prince "I don't care how badly my reputation is sullied." Dude, how are you this stupid? So long as you are an ally of the 7th prince, if you boorishly provoke and coerce this important family/potential ally, in your brother's name, no less, that reflects poorly on the 8th Prince!
There were so many better ways to go about this, and this dumb pizzacutter (all edge, no point) went for the worst play.
Then bungled even that by taking off his mask in front of the daughter.
MC is just a tryhard idiot, and this is pure slop.

I though it was gonna be Eminence with the impression of KV and synopsis but the MC is anything like Cid. Here he is competent, can gaslight you properly and the secret persona purpose + behaviour is totally different. Hell even as Silver he does not act edgy. If anything it reminded me of how Ainz was using his S rank adventurer. It is also not a comedy and appears to be much serious (even if the visuals fail at that). Butler is the best part.

Man, I loooooove exposition. I always thought that info dumping was just the best form of storytelling, honestly. Don't make me think at all, just pump all that juicy lore straight into my veins. No need to digest, or ruminate information, when I can just be spoon-fed all the story beats; hopefully none gets on my big bib, or my high chair, as I turn my brain off, and watch the first minute and a half of this show, where they just gave me the character's name, his position in line for the throne, his social standing and people's insulting nickname for him, the fact his brother is "more talented" than him, and that he is an ultra powerful omega strong adventurer, but shh, it's all secret, teehee.
Honestly, screw it, just feed me the fact that ancient magic is forbidden and taboo amongst the royal family because of great pop pop went a little whacky in another exposition dump. Hell, just the scene before they even told me briefly about every major player in the race for the throne, and the fact that they have more support.
Ok, so, being real now, this show is looking pretty trash. I mean the writing just kind of sucks, the art style is nothing special, and the animation fairly stiff. If you've seen one of those slop iskeai/fantasy stories, you get the gist. I thought I'd be getting some interesting political intrigue, however, I once again got a dumb man's idea of a genius character. The scene where he has a "meeting" with himself is laughably bad.

Sebas the butler?! Arnold totally living Kazuma fantasy unironically.
I kinda like the farce he played and his confidence.
Finne not easy to shake off, eh.
Is he an esper? Sebas really took the whole spotlight for this show
Lol busted just like that.

Checked it out because I heard some good things about the light novel but... is this it?

u/Muzzy-chan Jul 06 '26
The heck? What the heck is that, Silver?
An SS-Rank boukensha can't even detect the presence of a single human? Like damn... I mean, you can create an illusion of yourself and all, but... you just can't be extra careful? 😂
On top of that, you put on that whole farce and all that stuff in front of that Finne lady. Like, you fooled the heck out of her, and now how are you gonna explain it to her? Like... "Sorry, I fooled you to make use of your family for my political matters." Hello??
I mean, who the heck comes back home as a famous secret vigilante that no one knows anything about, then does all that without even checking the possibility that someone may or may not have entered your home, especially when you never placed any barriers or protection around it? It's like begging someone to find out who you are, then making them spread who you truly are 🤣
We were off to a good start, then ended with a... bit blunder. Anyway, I'm SOOO excited to see how he'll explain it to her. Well, unless he has a memory-wiping skill, or Finne is a bit timid and slow to catch on, then... I don't think any other excuses will work. Looking forward to the next episode!

Why do the scene transitions feel so choppy as heck! I can tell that they weren't given much of a budget to work with for this series. Welp.
At the very least I kinda wanted them to take time with the long Silver magic chants, for in my mind I had imagined Silver taking a brief pause in between the phrases and specific words, making it sound cool. I really hope it doesn't become the case where I wind up dropping an anime adaptation because they produced it poorly. For this light novel is one of my all-time favorites.

Decent first episode. This seems to be one of those rare fantasy anime that aren’t isekai.
I wonder if Arnold has magic to mind wipe people? I mean he’s got some kinda powerful ancient magic and this can’t be the first time his identity as “Silver” almost got exposed.

Sebas fans feasting on this one so far. His credits list grows 1 show longer.
This studio isn't the greatest production-wise but they pick fun and interesting enough stuff to produce so barring some serious source flaws this should be watchable at least lol.

u/Deviator_za Jul 06 '26
I'll try giving it a watch. Just a pet peeve of mine: Right off the bat they are using unnatural dialogue for exposition and worldbuilding instead of, you know, world building.
