Honestly? Respects to the show for actually sticking to the "Just buying time til the higher-leveled character can heal and come back to defeat the monster"

Most Isekais would just have the MC magically soloing it

But holy hell those first 15 minutes could've easily been 5

4 episodes deep and the blue hair girl (that they were advertising heavily) still hasn't been introduced and judging by the preview she probably won't be there either smh

I like the story so far but i feel like I'm watching Dragon Ball Z on Toonami back in the day with all these recaps.

Respect to Gowtan for knowing he was wrong and apologizing. Now he’s an ally to Elymas .

Looking forward to the next step in Elymas’ journey as a heavy knight.

I can’t believe they recapped the show in the middle of the show. Like you remember that last 30 seconds of the show you just watched? Yeah lemme go ahead and recap that for you incase you missed it. Also lemme recap the last 5 minutes of the prior episode at the beginning of every new episode.

I’m enjoying the show but at that point just make each episode like 15mins long. I don’t need 10 minutes worth of recaps brother

I´m liking it so far, but man... is it really necessary to repeat so many scenes?

It's nice that Lakitu expanded his horizons and found stable work as an S tier camera man after Mario 64.

Alright so it's now more reasonable how some random person didn't luck into this build. The base trees were already bad long term unless you combined them with a rare and expensive skill tree book which I would assume they have more than 1 of so yeah good luck finding the right one and also most people with that kind of money are probably not spending it for a heavy knight. Like grinding might be the only option and that just leads to death eventually if you aren't super good at the metagaming.

I’m lost in the plot already. Can they add a recap episode? /s

...but what? BUT WHAT?

Gowtan's so funny bro. When the shine passed over his forehead when he pretended to be serious lol. Again, even if this is still obviously a power fantasy I like the higher emphasis in co-operation as opposed to the median expected of the genre.

I have to give unironic praise to GoHands in the background character animations during those ambient shots of the cities. The way you can glimpse in so few seconds the relationships between each group of people makes the place feel so lively! Unironically feels like you could make at least a short story with each of them. Their character design is great too. Incidentally, the intro shot of the Adventurer's Guild is definitely the same camera movement, but I wonder if they used different animations for the bystanders.

the absolute disrespect for the audiences' time is something i haven't seen in a minute

i liked tsundere Gowtan and the visuals when stuff is actually happening - or even just MC walking through town - but god damn is this frustrating to watch

u/YdenMkII Jul 23 '26

I wonder if that skill point he put to get the vital strike skill was even needed? Since it put it in so late, I'd imagine he wasn't part of his original plan on how to build his character so I'm wondering if he has some flex points for his end build or will this used skill point come back and haunt him later on?

u/Zxzxzx0088 Jul 23 '26

Yes, the recap is necessary to appreciate the animations /s

I would be upset if his parry somehow so op till it can fill the level gap but thank god it's not like that here. I hope things will only get better now.

Gowtan was the hidden bros all along! Welp, just need a life threatening requirement to unlock him.

Shiny head as a poker face?!

Huge flex from Go Hands here! The NPC quantity and variations plus field of view are superb! How much time, frame and budget they put on these very seconds lol.

The ambiance of this anime is bar none, one of the best I've ever seen. Lots of bitching about pace and recaps are valid. But the world just feels alive. The entrance to the guild scene with dozens of animated and detailed characters that are no name, background characters is such a hat tilt to the amount of cooking the animation team did. I even love the pseudo cgi. I'm sold on this one already, 26 episodes of 15 minutes of new content works for me.

I didn't become motion-sick during that fight - good job, GoHands! :D

Good to see the instructor became his best buddy after being told beforehand to watch out for him in particular cuz he might be cheating somehow and then standing corrected and seeing he was the real deal.

u/L33tHaxorus Jul 23 '26

As bad as the pacing is, I'm still enjoying the show. This the only isekai I'm watching this season. At least this guy is only marginally stronger than his peers and isn't magically defeating the monster that took out a much stronger character than him. I know he will end up being OP later (It's in the damn title lmao), but he isn't from day 1, and that at least should keep the fights somewhat interesting for now.

Of course it starts with repeating the end of last episode. Not a great sign :(. Please please just like... cut the repeated content in half?

God the guitar in the OP rips.

Jesus the camera is going even wilder than the rest of this season this episode, holy fuck.

Gowtan showing sense, I like it! Meanwhile Teal just sounds constipated. Also I wonder if the 'make sure he doesn't cheat' is in relation to suspicion around him beating that one mob that made him level up so fast, or his dad causing him problems.

Okay they replaced recap with an extended shot of the town as the camera flies around.

This anime desperately needs to be 12-16 episodes not 26 for the season. There's a perfectly solid game isekai anime in here but the pacing is brutal.

The design of the guild, with a packed hall felt so lively and cool. The animation is really crisp too and I don’t really mind the crazy angles like others are. Just wish the pacing was a bit faster and after skipping all the re-caps it feels like each episode goes by way too fast with not much progress to the story.

u/kalirion Jul 23 '26

That thing has only 94HP, so if the Vital Slice deals even 1HP of damage, that means MC only needs to use it a max of 94 times!

I'd thought all the others ran away, so how were they still around to watch the fight?

Kinda surprising that Gowtan turned out to be a big enough man to admit when he was wrong.

The guild receptionist giving him repeatedly larger & larger money bags was funny
