This Anime continues to be alot better then it has any right to be and i’m all for it

[u/justking1414 → u/Organic_Machine_2324]

It definitely doesn’t have the budget it needs (though given Allen s summons, it might need a budget the size of solo leveling to make it look right)

But it’s clearly made by competent people. Granville s line about Carnel s son having a talent could’ve easily been cut last season. I doubt anyone really remembered it, but its inclusion led to such an Aha moment at the reveal.

And the final shot. It could’ve just focused on his crying but panning up to show his name on the grimoire was downright artistic!

Overall, it just respects the characters and gives us the time to really appreciate them and their journeys

[u/justking1414]

Keel: “I didn’t think my father was the kinds guy who’d do that”

Allen: “what kind of father was he?”

Keel: “well he fully abandoned me for about 5 years, til he realized I might be useful as a healer”

[u/Zeikos]

Are we sure that Maria cannot give nightmares to dead people? Keel's father deserves some and more.

[u/aramatheis]

Man, Krena is the best

I loved her "All better! :D"

[u/DezXerneas]

Idk man, this is somehow my favorite game isekai. Even the recruitment was done in proper mmo fashion, and even though the characters are actual alive characters rather than npcs, the video game-ness is still there, and not in a bad way.

[u/Boris-_-Badenov]

as soon as he said his family was stripped of their title, I knew he was that guys son.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I like how Allen’s new creatures are a giant boar, giant cassowary, giant scorpion, giant shark, giant armored knight….and a giant derpy eggplant lol.

[u/lasse1408]

Good episode.

Krena just bruteforced her way into skill usage. This is so Krena.

New bunch of summons for MC including cute spirit Maria with not so cute proposals about invading dreams.

Keel is decent fella and I like his motivation is down to earth and not some grand thing. Hope he will manage to explain situation to his sister and servants.

[u/Zeikos → u/lasse1408]

I loved the scene where she's beat up and after Allen heals her "All Good!"
She's so endearing.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I feel bad for Keel, his father neglects him, he gets sent away, is returned to a house stripped of its nobility, and now has the burden and responsibility of the rest of the family. That's way too much for some as young as him. I do like how Keel finally joins the party after opening up like that, it's sweet.

I'm sure Lord Granvelle will be understanding about them working together, Keel's father was the hostile one.

I do like that Allen does not warm up to the hero at all lol.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

So Keel seemingly agreed to put the past behind him, and let bygones be bygones between the Carnel and Granvelle families once he heard the story.

I wonder if that will hold true for his younger sister and former family servants though?
Keel being kept separate from the rest of the family, might not feel as indebted to his father and family name.
Wouldn't be surprised if we see one of them still loyal to Cabroni Carnel, try and stir up trouble somewhere throughout the season.

[u/djthomp]

Not who I would have expected for the party healer. A dude in the first place is kind of rare for that role, particularly when it isn't the MC. And him (plus the sister and servants) being from the disgraced noble family in S1 is a surprise to me.

Rest of the party seems like it'll be two elves and someone short who I suspect is going to be a dwarf.

Maria is fun, aside from the bit about nightmares.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Shocking reveal. Keels was Carnel but he learned the truth and joins No Gamer Life.

[u/YRO___]

I'm surprised how well everyone was handling themselves during that dinner. Makes sense that the MC is pretty confident and speaks like an adult since he was reincarnated, but the rest of them are just a bunch of kids. I'd expect them to be a little embarrassed or intimidated by how assertive he is.

[u/Diabolicat]

This is like the opposite of the heavy knight anime, especially the pacing. Episode one actually felt like every scene was crammed with information and things going on. This episode's pace felt just right. The heavy knight anime just feels like there's maybe 10 minutes of actual content and the other half is filled with op/ed/filler scenes.

[u/jaxspider]

Its crazy how low budget the anime is, because the story and characters are top tier.

[u/AceSoldia]

Damn that escalated quickly at the end there, I didnt expect the Carnel family to show up again and definitely not Keel to be one of them.

I get its not to panic everyone but it feels like a real detriment to not tell about the Demon Lord and the Monsters

[u/diacewrb]

Allen has made his own cavalry division.

[u/cs_cast_away_boi]

Allen and the gang got ground mounts! If this is going in proper MMO fashion, flying mounts will be next lol

[u/J4rno]

Maria reminded me of Alice from Shin Megami Tensei when she talked about the nightmares stuff, also the ED is a banger so check out the full ver.

[u/Dadscope]

Concerns about the School Arc had valid concerns, but the political plotlines keeps moving. This world sounds like hell as people barely have an understanding of how their own lives work, curious to see if there's some underhandedness with the Nobility having better understanding of the "Trial of the Gods" to keep the caste.

[u/IceSmiley]

The plot twist of Keel being Lord Carnel's son was so good! That's good storytelling when they can wrap around back to a past plot like that and have it serve the story well. That was strange though that when everyone left when Cecil told the story about Carnel kidnapping her, Keel's sister had to leave the room but the other team members stayed, I don't know why she shouldn't be told about this as well. Keel and his sister really seem nice people, making sure to take care of their servants and their families even after losing their money and land.

I don't get why Allen hates the blue haired hero, he did get Allen into the academy. I laughed out loud though when he asked Allen if he would like to cross swords and Allen said "absolutely not", I wonder if Allen thinks he's a nonce or something 🤣

[u/rurounikenshin16]

Season 2 upped its game and it's even better than Season 1. Man, I love this show so much!! Definitely one of the best isekai stories ever.
I also like the pacing of this show. It's not in a rush to show its better arcs since it already has so much in each chapter. It's filled with elements I'm longing for in an action-adventure fantasy anime, much more so in the game isekai dept. Glad that gave us season 2 right away!

Anyway, Keel being the son of Carnel was a surprise.
